Jrly con ' t and THE PSYCHIC POSCIB. Mrs. Clara Field Shows How the Mad PuibUit of "Wealth May "Be EeVersed. The Opera House was well attended last evening by many ol those citizens of Palatka 'ho had not in the two pre ceding nights " listened to, Mrs. : t lara Field's exposition of the science of psy chometry. The lecture was preceded by some instrumental musiq,and a few re marks by Dr. Hall by way of. entertain ment and introduction. Mrs. Field's explanation of the operation and the re sults to be obtained by means of the sci ence was brief and clear. The lady demonstrated very easily that a general knowledge and application of the prin- cinles of the science of Psychometry ould result in. great good not oniy to individuals but to the world at large. Mrs. Field struck the key note of this material age we live in when she took the line of argument that her science was eminently calculated to advance the individual in his pursuit of wealth. Probably no other line would arrest the attention of people so quickly, and Mrs- Field's success in Palatka and elsewhere may be considered as assured if she can reduce her science to the status of an ex act science. The lecturer, however. pays sufficient homage to the proprieties as to start out with the postulate that the mad pursuit of wealth characteristic of so many individuals is detrimental to the mental health and useless. If the individual will simply learn the princi ples of her science and apply them there ' can be no doubt but that wealth will inevitably come to . him that wealth will pursue the individual, , In other words instead of a mad pursuit of wealth by the individual there will be a mad pursuit of the individual by wealth. The theory, is, that, eurrounding every individual is a psychic atmosphere, so to speak, within which the mental or pvschie forces exert certain ' well-de fined influences. One versed ia the na ture of these psychic forces, and habit ually . practicing their use, can by con tact with the person or with any article belonging to him read his mind. If one can, therefore, read the minds of every person, with whom he does business it is easy to be seen that the pursuist of wealth becomes so easy .-- that it may well be said that the personalities of pursuer and - pur sued are reversed, and,' that one becomes the other. It is a curious in quiry, just here, that if this world of individuals at large shoukl by common consent study and practice this art whether all men would not in that event be on a plane of equality 6till a higher one it is true, but still a plane Of equal ity. If, however, the honest man m by the intelligent use of his psychic forces made equal to the dishonest man being enabled to read tle precise nature and eptent of hit dishonest intentions, the dishonest man must, perforce, be come honet. and thereby the world will be benefitted, in that it will longer be possible for dishonesty to sue ceed. . At the close of the lecture Mrs. Field practiced her art upon several well known citiaens of Palatka, and they sev erally acknowledged that her success was remarkable. In thus dropping her plummet into these minds, however. Mrs. Field failed to state liow deep the instrument went before striking bottom Sometimes, as an eminent statesman once quoted "the shallows while the deeps are dunilv' murmur THE SUSQUEHANNA, Mr. Stickney's Beautiful Steam Yacht Arrives at Palatka. The beautiful steam yacht Susque hanna, belonging to Mr. Joseph Stick ney, of New York, with Capt. John M, Cushing in command, arrived in port yesterday afternoon at 4:15 o'clock. The vessel left Wilmington February 17, and after a pleasant cruise reached Jackson ville on March 1. In describing the craft a contemporary says:. - "The yacht is the handsomest that lias visited this section this season. It is one of the fastest vessels of its class in American waters, and is scarcely'six months old. Her measurements are 170 feet from stem to stern, 151 feet on the water line, and 23 J feet beam. It has a triple expansion engine and independent air pump. Her boiler is 17 feet longand 10 feet iu diameter. . The engine is 800 horse-power, 160 pounds pressure. The yacht is flighted with electricity, the dynamo and accommodating battery be ing stationed in the engine-rooms. The vessel averages eighten miles an hour. Tlie saloon of the Susquehanna is ele gant, and under the care of William Washington, steward and saloonist, it is kept as neat as a pin. The furniture is upholstered in old-gold plush, and the curtains in the room are of the same material. In the sides of the saloon are handsome panels of mahogany, in which figures are carved. The dining room has the appearance of solid home comfort. At one end stands a handsome mahogany buffet. The furni ture is upholstered in leather, and the curtains are of plush. The pantry is filled with the best china and cut-glass, made in Paris especially for the vessel. Next to the saloon is Mr. ' Stickney's sleeping apartments, of mahogany and handsomely furnished. 'Every modern convenience in his suite, as well as all over the yacht, is found. Mr. Stickney also ha3 qjarters on the upper eck, which he uaes when too warm below. The yacht is complete in every detail and there is abundance of room. Mr. Stick ney is a bachelor, and came do-vn alone. He expects to meet friends in the State who will become his guests. Mr." Stickney expects to spend week on the St. Johns River. From here he will go to St. Augustine, and then cruise along the coast to Key West and the Gulf of Mexico." , Personal .;-,;'.'::-."..'-... -': Dear Bro. Meek. Ed.

Ths Tsrms on Which a Robtur Agreed Not la Molest a Stage Company. ' Pierre (Dak ) Lette'rto Chicago Tribune. The singular freedom enjoyed by the Northern Stage and Transportation Com pany from road agents during the early days of its existence, when th& trail led from Bismarck to Deadwood, was a wel come fact which many a weary traveller in search of the land of promise can cheerfully testify to, but nevertheless it was a source of much speculation as to how the immunity granted the line was to be accounted for. The Sidney stage was "held up" on nearly every trip, messengers killed and passengers robbed. In 1877 the line commenced operations between Bismarck and the Black Hills, doing a passenger traffic and also haul ing the gold bricks of the Homestake Mine, , often amounting to $ 200,000, thereby Tiromising a rich harvest for the festive road agent who at that time in. fested the country through which the trail ran. Mountains and gulches lined each 6ide of the improvised road, unin habited, save by the Indian, affording a magnificent retreat for the robbers, who could "hold np' a coach and escape with their booty into the hills, where it was simply impossible to find them, much less recover tlie property. - Hank Wall was at the head of a gang of freebooters who made their home in the hills, and who were a terror to trav ellers who might from necessity be com pelled to pass through the country. Dur ing the first week that the Northwestern ran from Bismarck, Wall and his men "held Bp" three coaches, one being- the treasury coach containing Homestake N , After to first trip, however. . ' XT' - tL pow of Pitre, wm agent at Bismarck, and he requested all passengers eoinx tbrouirh ; to deposit their money with him, he in return tew ing Deadwood drafts.: Extra precau tions were also taken in the way of guar 1 ing each coach, four outriders, armed with repeating rifles ana selected with reference to their inarktuansbip and nerve, ridine before and behind the coach on each trip, about one hundred yards distant, thus providinir asrainst surprises and incidentally protecting the passengers. - l nese arrangements soon rendered the road agent's occupation not only unprofitable but attended by an ele ment ot aanger wrucn ne am not relish. Hie passengers carried notliing of value and the treasure coacltee were so well guarded that "Hank's ' raids began to net him lees than would a raid on an or dinary contribution-box. One day W. J. Gidlev, who had charge of the drivers, was inspecting the line. The coach which he was on was ap proached by a horseman who proved to be the redoubtable "Hank" himself. Uidley knew him, and, after passing sal utations, he inquired of Wall what he had been doing. "Hank" replied that he bad been holding up these d d Northwestern coaches till he had gone broke at it. He then mentioned the ob ject of his visit. "It's this way, Gid. I've got a nephew in Deaiwood who is anxious to get to his home in Fort Wayne, Ind., where his mother is very ill. Sow, they're 'onto me in Deadwood, so that I can't go after htm, and he's broke. Now, if you'll promise to bring the -kid through on your next trip, and buy hiui a ticket from Kismarck to Fort Wayne, I'll ag ee never to 'hold up' another of your coaches or cause you any further trouble. Is it a go?" Sidley thouirht the scheme a ?ood one. ana as lie Knew w an to be a man who respected his word, whatever his other shortcomings might le, the agreement was made, and on the next trip through to iwsmarck. the vouiur man was a pas senger, lhe ticket was purchased to rort vvavne. Wall was as-good as his word, and from that day to this not another passen ger was molested. .... wall immediately tamed his attention to the Sidney line. and the papers of that town came out with columns of abuse aimed at the Northwestern Company, charging it with being in league with the road azents, etc. '.'V..- Russian Progress In Central Asia New Orleans Times-Democrat. Whatever may be thought of the pol icy of Kussia, either in Europe or in Asia, it is impossible to feel any other sentiment than admiration for the en ergy, the perseverance and the courage of the men who have been the instru ments in extending her dominion east ward and southeastward through the arid regions of Tartary and Turkestan These men are simply servants of the State soldiers, for the most part. They are not responsible for the aggressions which are effected through them; they simply oliey instructions well and effec tively. In obedience to- the orders of his government, a SkobeletT attacks and destroys the Tekke Turkomans. We may execrate the central power that gives such directions, but we cannot re fuse to recognizn the admirable com pleteness with which the orders were carried out. . But the triumphs of the Russians iu Central Asia have not tieen solely of a sanguinary kind." They have effected mechanical victories over natural obsta cles for which they are entitled to un adulterated praise. Their Trans-Caspian Railway is a marvellous work, carried out in the face of extraordinary diflicu! ties. Tlie successful laying and preser vation of the track across the Kara-Kuin desert is an especially noteworthy feat of engineering, the credit of which is due to Gen. Auuenkuif. It- was le lieved that the shifting sands of that barren tract would block the railroad to such an extent as to completely olistruct the traffic. But . Annenkofl circum vented the shifting sands. Ho em hanked his road with clay, revetted with branches of a desert 6hrub, and he Slanted and cultivated in the neighbor ood of the track vast numbers of plants the roots of which hold the sand. He brought his water in pipes from the nearest mountains, from tlie Murghab River, and in some places obtained it from artesian wells. . The entire coun try is almost devoid of fuel; but petro leum supplier the want, and not only drives the locomotives but warms the sixty railway stations that have already been established. The latest engineering ach vement in that region is the completion and open ing to traffic of the bridge over the Oxus, across which the first train of cars passed just three weeks go. It is about a thmsand feet longer than the Brooklyn bridge, although the water sparned by the latter is in breadth and volume immeasurably greater than the water of the classic Central Asian river. . All Central Asian streams are pretty much alike'in character; the river bed is immensely broad in proportion to the stream. A river only a hundred feet wide struggles through a sandy nul lah or canyon that measures half a mil l across. But the banks of this can yon are generally steep, the river fre quently shifts its course and the whole has to be bridged before a railroad can te brought across. From the Oxus to Samarcand, the ancient capital of Ti mur, all will be plain sailing. Rigorous Winter in Europe. Boston Herald. The rigors of tlie weather, as well as rumors of war, are sending a chill down the European back. The whole conti nent is buried in snow, and the cold in some places almost reaches zero, which is an unheard of severity. The' Danube is frozen over tor the first time in a long while, and the wolves are coming out from the forests in Alsace, Baden, Thu ringia and Auvergne. The whole Bor deaux wine district is covered with snow, and the oldest European inhabi tant says this sort of thing is unex ampled in the annals of Europe. The President Strengthened.
