BMiita Ufaatu f ,MUi U Haw ln Bouf.t While under the d'ueclion of the ly ceura bureau during the decade of 1870 80 I traveled eight months in the year, from October to Jutie, mostly in the western slates, speaking nearly every night. It was my custom in the large cities always to stay at the same hotel, that the landlord and clerks might know mo and I might be received at auy hour of the night. If possible, I always se cuicd a room on Ihe second flour with a Icouy, for safely in case of fire. One uight I arrived rather late at In dianapolis, having previously telegraphed. The hotel was crowded, as there was some unusual public gathering, just what do nut remember. On meeting me in the parlors my kind but distracted host said : "Mrs. Stanton, I have not a room in the bouse for you. I am sorry, but you will be obliged to go to some oilier otel." "That," I replied, "I cannot do. ou must give me a bed in the parlor il' you have no other place." "Well," said the host, laughing, "I'll see what I eau So while I was taking supper he surveyed the gruuud and at last returned to tell mc he had a small room on the third floor, but with no balcony. If I would accept that, he would have it prepared for me. "Well," I replied, since I can do no better I must accept bat." In due time he announced that all was ready. I found a pleasant little room, lighted with gas, a bright fire in the gtate, every - ling looking fresh, clean and attractive. Being very lired, I lost no time in going to bed. As usual, I left Ihe gas burning, and looked under the bed aud in the closet to see thai neither men nor cats were anywhere concealed. I was soon souud asleep, when suddenly I found myself in the strong grasp of a powerful man. At the same instant a cry ol despair rent the air, an agonizing voice shrieked: "Oh, save me, mother! Save me 1" Terribly frightened, I sprang from the bed in horror. But all was stiil. I searched the room in vain. No one was there, the gas was still burning, the door locked, everything as I left it on going to sleep So I concluded the ter rible experience I had just had must have been a nightmare, and as 1 was thoroughly tired by my long journey of the previous day my excitemcut was soon overcome and I fell asleep agaiu. Ouly a ew moments had elapsed, however, when ain felt the clutches of those desper ate arms and my ears were filled with the sound of that piercing shriek : "Oh, sive me, niolherl Save me!" Again shook off ihe horror and, fully awake, convinced myself that I was alone and that no one had entered my room. Gradually 1 grew calm, and then, from sheer exhaustion, slept once more. My rest was as brief as before, for in an in slant, it seemed, the grip was around mc, and the voice tore at my very heart striugs: " ' Oh, save mo, mother ! Save me I" It is useless to rehearse the continued torture of that night. Suffice it to say that with the dawn ouly it ceased. When ihe maid came to make the fire she sail, "How did you sleep, madam? I replied,"! have had a night of iuteuse suffering." "0," cried she, bursting into tears, "I told them not to put you iu (hit room. A man died here yesterday will) delirium tremens. His cries could be heard over the whole house. For days his constant appeal was : "Oh, save me. mother I Save mel" This startling corroboration ol my le cent imprcssioos q iile unnerved me beggid the maid to teuiain until I could leave the room whose walls had witnessed aud were still repeating ihe despairing anneal of that distracted soul, I never think of thai uight in ludiaoapolis with out a shudder.

We have visiting in Atlanta at pres ent a lady remarkable Dot ouly for her culture, her extensive travels and her skill as an artist, but also for her posses sion of a wonderful treasure trove a natural stone portrait of tho face of Christ. I liavo for somo tiuio known that this portrait stone was found by a friend of my childhood, Mrs. Kugcnia Jones Bacon, but have not had on oppor tunity to meet her for many years until last week. And surely never will I furget iho effect which this most pathetic face of our Lord, as in His passion, bad upon me. It will ever, as now, remain impressed upon my mind and heart. The incident connected with the finding of the stone, the discovery of the like n.-s and interwoven with (he various savants, crowned heads and artists who have ex amined it, are all told by Mrs. Bacoo with tho utmost simplicity, not the slight est striving for effect. "For," as she said to me, "I have learned to look upon this stone as a matter of conscience, a sacred possession. I dislike extremely being interviewed or notoriety of any kind, but I now feel I have no right to keep Ibis to myself so wonderful a work of nature should be well known." This rare stone was picked up in 1880 by Mrs. Bacon near the scene of The Passion Play at Obcrammergau, Bavaria. Picked up simply as she was in the habit of taking some trifle with her from each remarkable place she visited. Eight years afterwards, as somo little children were examining her specimens under a bright lamp one of them exclaimed : Oh, there is a face in (his stone !" Again, when J. Russell Forbes, I'll 1., Rome, Italy, was examining it his little son exclaimed, "Why, that is Jesus 1" "Out of the mouth of babes and suck lings thou hast perfected praise." "The stones will cry out." The portrait stone is a piece of lime stone in the shape ot human heart, one inch long, three quarters broad. Tl Bur 'ace is corrugated, the irreg'ilariiii s casting shadows so that the blending of light with thi shadows form a eainio like a face having a startling resemblance to the type ol Christ's pictures. A change in the angle of light gives the effect of opening or closing the eye by moving the! shadow that forms the eyelash. The head-shaped stone is e'eft through the centre and when reversed delineatis a lion head. "The lion of the tribe of Judab." Many believe our Lord died of a broken heart. The stooe is perfect- natural. Many well-known geologists have placed it under powerful glasses and arc unanimous in saying DO tool has touched it- It requires not the slightest imagination to see the face, for it is clear and distinct, standing in bold relief like a finely chiseled cameo. I cannot attempt to describe the sensation that came ovu me when my friend held it up. It thrilled me through and through, fur il is true "words suggest but vaguely what one sees on the stone." Photographs fail, even as I have never seeo a true copy nf Raphael pairings, I believe it to be impossible to secure a truer copy of this most pathetic, most marvelous work of nature. It has recently been noticed that Ihe photograph ol the rugged surface portrays uimy suggestive pictures, such as "The .Madonuaand Child," "Three Crosses," "ASoldier Asleep," a ram, a fish but as my friend pointed out these Christian symbols plainly enough, while 1 raw them, my heart was too filled with the expression of the face on the stono to care fur aught else. Mrs. Bacon has been interviewed by caidinals, crowned heads savants innu merable all have echoed the one note of ainni 'im nt and veneration. Th h ive also given her a great many testimo nials, aud sh i has been offered large sums fur ibis treasure, but she values it tio highly to pari with it, keeping it by her aide Ulpthl ud da). S.

During the war there was in our com mand a practical joker named Henry McN'elte, who is now a pilot on the Arkunsaw river. Just at this time in the history of tho Confederacy, rations became scarce. Parched corn and sweet potatoes do very well once in a long while, but are objectionable when taken as a steady diet. McNctte noticed that Lieut. Nowlin frequently visited a farm house, the elegaut country scat of Judge Beach. He bad often seen the hadsome Miss Beach, and he knew that Nowlin was paying special attentions to her, One day McNetto went lo Judge Beach's bouse and rang the duor bell. When a servant appcareil .ilcMctte put Ins hat under his arm and asked if he could see Miss Beach. The servant crabbedly re plied that he would see. Preseutly Mi-s Beach appeared. "Is this Miss Beach?" McNette asked, as he humbly bowed to tho young ludy. "Yes." Lieut. Nowlin, who is very ill, ordered me to eotue and a-k you to send him a broiled chicken and anything else that you think he mi -ht relish." "Well, sit down there," said the young ady. She would not allow any of the servants to prepare the meal. She broiled the chickeu herself, and, nicely arranging the "spread," gave it to McNctte, who again bowed humbly. He went down into Ihe woods and feasted. "There was enough for three men," he said in speak ing of the affiir, "but on that occasion I was three men myself." The next day Nowlin called on Miss Beach. "I am supriscd to sec you," she said. "Why?" he asked. " Because of your illness." "I haven't been ill." "You haven't? How did you enjoy the chicken?" ' What chicken ?"

"Well, not exactly thai,' said tbe old man, 'but I tell you what I was doing Kvery morning for forty years I have taken off my bonnet here to the beauty of the wot Id!' " "What is real good?" I asked in musing mood. "Older," said ihe law court; "Knowledge," said the school; "Truth," said the wise man; "Pleasure," said ihe fool; "Love," said tho maiden; "Beauty," said the page; "Freedom," said the dreamer; ''Home," said the sage; "Fame," said the soldier; "Equity," said the seer.
