Down on the bonks of the Savannah river the negroes are in a fearful stale of mind.

The negroes have cuiue to lielievein him. and have aeeepted his words as inspired teachings. "(live up everything and follow uie," he commanded. "Lit your crops go; uiru your came in uie puielies ; Hie iam will prnvide fur you." And, obeying hiui. hundreds of ne groes have ipiit work. Their little crops have grown up villi weeds ; I lie planter have been deserted by their laborer, who absolutely refuse to work ; the turpentine manufacturers an 1 the saw mill men have great difficulty in getting help en ough to continue operations. The col ored population lias been deiiiorali..d for three weeks. To such an extent lias the era! spread that the intelligent colored people and the whites joined in discuss ing some plan to put a stop to it. It was decided to arrest the crvnk or send him out of the country. Some weio ready to lynch him, but better counsel prevailed. A warrant has been issued for bis ar rest and is in the hands of the sheriff. lie has prophesied that be would be arrested, anil his followers, "disciples," at they call themselves declared that be sh ulJ not he takeu away, u ml unit no violeuee should be done him. The wo men were more emphatic than the men and had armed themselves with guns, but the new prophet told his people not to offer any resistance. They I'eared that he would be crucified, but he told them that he would not he nut to death again. When the ullieers went to arrest him no resistance was ottered, but a large crowd soon joined the favored disciples, who are almost constantly about him. Tin y were ready to tear the officers to pieces, but at their prophets request they suffered hiui to be taken ipuietly away. After his arrest he gave the name of Campbell, and said ho came from the t. He shows scars in his hands, which he says were made by nails when he was crucified on calvary.

A company has been iu existence for the operation of what is known as the Wcems Electric Uailway System, and it is now claimed to be perfect and ready for inauguration. The invention comdsU of a Railroad track aud cars, the cars to be moved by an elccllie motor at a speed of three miles a minute ou a level and two on heavy grades and curves. The train is operated entirely from central stations aud requires no help ahead. The sjstem is for the purpose of the piick transmission of packages, which can be scut by this line at the rate of 180 miles an hour. The manipulator can stop the train when ho wishes, and tells by an automatic indicating arrange ment just where the train is all the time. It is so constructed that it cannot leave I be track, and the track ran be construc ted at a cost of live thousand dollars per mile. The expeiiiucntul line aud works are at Lauiel, Md., aud the tests, which have been exhaustive, prove the absolute practicability of the system. The ques tion of passenger travel on this rapid sys tem has not yet been discussed, but if the freight lino shall prove successful alter full trial iu actual opeiation over long distuuees, tin re would seem to he no reason why, iu the ut-ur future, pa.in gers may uot be gelling around at this lightning rate ol speed in a traiu which i above ground and safe from run offs.

DEATH S VISIT. AN AiiltKKMKNT IN 1.1FK To HKVISIT 1-'H1KS'IJS VHK I'KAii C'AIIHIKI) HIT IN NORTH CAROLINA. Rieliiiioiiil lUntrh. The following strange occurrence hap pened in North Carolina and is strictly true in every detail only names are concealed, aud it is vouched for by responsible parties : A short lime ago my brother, my friend S , and I wi re strolling out a shoit way from town when lb subject of death was brought up, and we conjec tured as to whether it were possible for ihc suirit of one dead to return to earth mid make itself known. After discussing it awhile we three agreed that the spirit of the first of us who died should return and discover itself to the remaining two. We were all young and vigi rous in health, and soon the agreement passed out of our minds. A few months after the above my friend S left town to visit his brother iu a neighboring village. The third night after his departure. I dreamed that I was siding with the family at the tea table when a soft rap was heard at the door. I responded to it and upon open ing the door saw my friend S stand ing in the hall. His face was bruised upon the right side so much as to be almost blue, his eyes hud the glassy stare of death; and his lips wore rigidly drawn as if in intense pain: but particularly no ticeable was a deep triangular cut ovir the right eye. Its appearance suggested some jagged im-lrumcnt. With a ghastly smile lie said "I have come : tell Charlie I want to see him." .My brother turned at ouce as if to go to him, but I caught and violently re strained him, beseeching him the while nut to go there, fur I believed S to be dead. The dream was so vivid that I awoke with a start of horror and aroused my brother, and was ubouut to narrate to him my terrible dream, when, right in the doorway, with the same bruised face and ugly wound I had seen in ray dream, stood S gazing intently upon mo. I nervously called my biother's atten tion, but could not by any means per suade him to look where I directed. Only once, and that when ho first awoke did be cast bis eyes toward the doorway. Fully two minutes the spectre like figure stayed, then vanished, leaving my brother and myself selling upright in bed conver.-ing at the top of our voices. Our father iu the adjoin ing room was dis turbed by the commotion and came in to earn what was I he matter. Being in formed he hooted at the idea aBd said it was more than an unusual nightmare. Notwithstanding, we did uot sleep any more that night. The next day we received a message to the effect that S had become diz 7.y while s'ooping to drink from a spring, had staggered and fallen, striking his head upon a sharpstone, causing instant dei.th. My mother hasteued to h is hon e to sympathize with his bereaved parmts, aud learned that th" location aud shape of the wound was identically the same as I had seen iu my dream, aud also as I saw upon awaking. The agreement we had made to re turn after death occuried to uie, aud I knew that S had kept his promise. THE SIZE OF HEAVEN. From the Atlmita KiiMiiutiinl. Hoes any book or commentary on the Bible give the sijo of heaven 1 W. P. P. The twenty-first chapter of Revelations gives the measurement.

AN LXTLIlPKISINii YANKKK OFF ITU', CON STANT! NOl'LE T" OFT HIM A CIRCASSIAN I1KAFTY. Says a Hartford telegram: J. II. Kckhardt and S. B. Donchuin, of this city, sailed for Europe this week from New York on a most remarkable matri monial pilgrimage. The parents of Mr. Donchain were Aruieuians, but he was raised iu the public schools here. Early in life he started iu the jewelry and orna ment trade, and after obtaining a com petency he was most auxious to secure a helpmate. He was too exacting and of all the beauties the state offered uoiie met bis view. One day he learned from an English paper that theie was iu Constan tinople a female seminary, from which selections of a wife may bo made upon the recommendation of the officers in charge ol the institution. If acceptable, the applicant deposits a suitable sum, in proportion to the bride's bj iiity and at tainment us compensation to her parent for the loss of the daughter's society and services, upon which the happy bride is handed over to her purchaser, with whom she usually agrees by means of true Oliental persuasion. The system of wife purchase seemed to please Lr. Ponehain, and to his friend, Mr. J. B. Eckhardt, he confided his in tention to try his luck there. The latter thought the plan a good oue, and it was determined to start at once. The pair made all urriingeuients to be absent some lime, and sailed in the early part of the week. En route to Turkey they will take iu the Paris exposition aud visit Vienna, Florence, ltomo and Naples, reaching their destination in July. The bride will bo purchased as quickly as possible, and after a suitable leave taking of the old folks, il they can be found this side of Circassiu, the happy pair will njoy their honeymoon upon the Black mid Medileiraiiean seas, alter which the return to America will be begun. They will be back by September, und the friends of the groom promise the pair a rousing reception, which will be added to iy the intense curiosity here to see the uikish beauty. ONLY HER SIXTH.
