Cincinnati is superstitiously intereseted in the case of a woman who, falling asleep in a railroad train, dreamed vividly that her child at home had been seriously hurt, the was so deeply impressed by the vision that, on arriving in the city, she drove directly to a physician’s office and carried him hastily to her residence, where the youngster was found to have been thrown from a swing precisely the time the mother had dreamed. The story is told cireum- stantially by the persons concerned.

Mr. John G. Whittier, the venerable Quaker poet, in a letter read at an Aboli- tion re-union and celebration of the semi- centennial of the pro-slavery riots in 1834, in New York, said:—‘‘I thank God for the great deliverance of our beloved country from the curse and shame of slavery, and for the wonderful progress of the emanci- pated race. They are not yet in the full enjoyment of their civil rights in many sections, and they need still the care and labor of love which should be our blessed privilege to give. The time has not come to place our Government in the hands of those who have persistently denied them the rights and privileges of citizenship. Yet it gives me pleasure to note the rapidly improving state of public opinion and feeling in the South, and I trust that long before the centennial of emancipation is reached the colored people, educated and self-respecting, will have no reason to com- plain of uncivil treatment and political dis- abilities, God hasten the stay.”

General Gordon is indeed,as the Premier says, a distinguished personality. His life is as great a mystery as his character. His physical endurance in the desert would be difficult to understand in a strong man; but in a man with angina pectoris, and with a horror of meals, it is sitsply a kind of miracle. As far back as November 15, 1878, and in that very Khartoum on which the eyes of all Christian nations are turn- ed, he writes:—‘‘There are nine Europeans in the Soudan, and they vegetate and do not live. Can you conceive what it is never to have any desire to cat? That is my case. I hate the operaticn. is My angina pectoris has not wwoubl- ed me lately. -According to medi- cal books it is not known what occasions this. Itis heart disease, and makes you think you are on the brink of death. A. rush ef blood takes place to the heart, and you think all is over. I may say I have died suddenly over a hundred times.” We can only find encouragement in such facts to go on hoping that against all human and medical probabilities Gordon will again emerge from the Soudan, and long continue to show the world what can be done by men with grave disease, but with faith in their own mission and in God's providence.

John Theurer, the gymnast, is said to possess wonderful pewer. His rial feats were shown at the Boyleston Theatre a few

weeks ago, but it seems that the half has not been seen. A Chicago paper publishes an account of some of his feats, which approach

the marvellous and include the following : Balaucing a plow weighing 100 lbs. on his chin; placing the back of his head on one chair and his heels on another, forming a bridge, and holding on his breast in this position. 200 lbs; holding at arm’s length 79 lbs. in each hand,and while stand. ing on his head hold out a 50 lb. weight in the same manner. A 160-pound dumb- bell is by him easily elevated above his head at arm’s length eight times in succes- sion. Theurer’s greatest feat in lifting wag done when but 19 years old at the Cincin- nati Gymnasium, where he lifted by main strength, an actual grip without straps or harness, 1,300 lbs., much to the astonish- ment of those who witnessed it. This “lift” has never been equalled by any one of that age. A few vears ago, at the Front Street Garden, in Hamilton, he lifted a horse weighing 995 lbs., a platform on which the horse stood, weighing 100 lbs., and a man sitting on the animal weighing 140, making a total weight of 1,235 Ibs. Theurer now claims that he can lift 1,500 lbs., ang stands ready to test his strength against any man of his weight or under. At the third anniversary of the Young Men’s Gymnasium, Cincinnati, he accom- plished the difficult feat of balancing two plows and a table on his chin at the

same time, and bendiog iron across his naked arm. Two men wore them- selves out trying to break a huge

boulder on his breast with sledge hammers. He has placed stones weighing from fifty to one hundred pounds on his head to be broken in the same manner, neither cushion nor pad being used. He can give no solu- tion of the mystery of this remarkable feat of strength, and only knows that he is able to do so. He has also held a table in his teeth while large stones placed upon it were

broken with hammers.
