THE MYSTIC POWER.
There is a subtle, mysterious influ
ence about some persons that is txul
remarkable- One of the singular
foaturcs about it is that those pos
sessing it have little or no control
over it, and thoe affected by it have
no power to resist it. "What this
power is. or whence it comes, is the
mystery. It 13 generally believed
that mind has influence over mind,
independent of the "will of the person
concerned. A great many say they
can feol the pressure of certain ones
without seeing or knowing they are
near, while almost every one is more
or less affected by the pressure of
others, either strangers or friends.
Thus it may be traced down to what
is generally called like and dislike.
The plain truth is that there is often
less mutual affection between com
parative strangers. It is generally
supposed that twins are devotedly at
tached to each other, but such is not
the case. Even the Siamese twins
were constantly quarreling, and had
it been possible to get away from
each other would have done so most
cheerfully. Occasionally twin bro
thers are found who apparently are
only happy in each other's presence.
Such instances are rare, however.
Scientists call it magnetism, spirit
ualists say it is affinity of the soul,
but those who have it do not bother
thomselves about its nature or cause,
beiug satisfied with the effect. It is
the same influence that renders
preachers, actors and lecturers popu
lar. To think that ihe success of
these before the public is due to what
they say. or the way they say it, is a
mistake. It is the mystic power, and
it makes little difference about the
elocution, the quality of voice, or the
nature or the discourse. Some of
the popular actors have most marked
defect in voice. The uncultured
preacher, one who has never seen the
inside of a college. very often preaches
all around those who are accounted
profound scholars. Those preachers
who are noted revivalists possess this
power in a greater or less degree, ac
according as they are more or less
successful.
It was said of Dr. Sunderland, the
elder,he was so wonderfully endowed
with this power, that ho quit preach
ing on account of it. He feared that
persons were drawn into the folds of
the church by his influence who did
not realize what they were doing.
Ho is said to have been able to direct
actions of persons simply through
will power, and that without the aid
or words or signs. Henry "Ward
Beecher is filled with the same power,
but not to as great a degree as Dr.
Sunderland. He has the faculty,
however of transmitting it to the
written page, so that those "who read
may feel his influence as well as those
who sec and hear him.
The question that arises just here
is whether it is good to possess such
power or to be influenced by it There
are plenty of instances where it has
done a great deal of harm. It is the
strength of the libertine, the chief
agont of the conspirator, and the tal
isman of aich deceivers. This does
not prevent it being productive of
good results. It is the power of good
to influence the wicked, and that
which renders music charming and
social intercourse agreeable. It is
not at all strange that occasionally it
should be turned to an evil purpose.
Bad uses are made of things givtn to
support life, but that does not render
these things unfit for proper use. It
is the use to which means are pnt,
and not the means, that is evil. This
mystic power is as much a gift as
any of the more special talents, and
its exercise no more sinful than that
of the other gifts, if only exercised
properly.
It is not love, but it is often mis
taken for it. This is a serious mis
take, and one that is very difficult to
correct. One of its peculiarities is
that it is not mutual. The person who
possesses it to such an extent as to
be able to greatly influence others
rarely feels drawn toward those who
are attracted by it. In instances
where it is mutual it forms a strong
bond, but where it is one-sided it is
very unreliable.
It is the secret of the conjurer's
swell, the mind-readers skill, and
spiritualist's power. To be effective
these muse possess it to excess, in
which case it becomes a dangerous
thing, as it gives them control over
not only the physical life of persons
bnt also over their soul life.
TOOMBS OX THE NEGRO'S FUTURE.
The Atlanta, Georgia, E telling
Journal publishes an interview with
ex-Senator Bob Toombs on the future
of the negro.
He says that his famous speech on
slavery in Boston, is as true to-day
as it was then, and will be for all
time, "The negro race is an inferior
race. Ho was so created, and if God
had not intended to make him infe
rior to the white wan he would never
have created him black. All history
shows him to be incapable of govern
ing himself. Ho cannot, therefore
govern countries or anything else.
The position of the llev. Dr. Haygood
that the two races must rise or fall
together is very foolish. The negro
race is dependent on the whito for
even-thing. I do not think they can
be educated. It will be found in
the end that as a race they are uned
ucationable. He says education is
increasing crime among them. A ne
gro is out of his element at the black
board. His natural home is the cot
ton patch and the plough. There he
has always done best; there he will
always do best."
As to the future of the negro race
in the south, Toombs said: "It is
the plainest thing in the world, he
will die out He i3 dying out now.
I think I ought to understand the
census. I have studied enough. I
tell you that it is being falsely inter
preted by certain people in this coun
try. The negro is dying out as u
race; he is bound to die out. That is
what will become of him. It is the
history of all inferior races, and here
is the broad distinction. The negro
race is a scrub race; the white race
is a thoronghbred race. In time tho
scrubs are bound to die out, but the
thoroughbreds live on to procreate
the species. It is a law of God and
cannot change'
Sax Francisco papers report the
markets of that city glutted with
fruit of all varieties grown in the
state. Hundreds of tons of cherries
have leen dumped into the bay on
account of there being no demand for
them at any price. From all parts of
Oregon reports state that the apple,
plum and prune crop of the present
Reason will be immense.
