A St. I'auls despatch s«ys : The body of Cora Sticknev, of Miimespolig, which wa» exhumed by her mother for the purpose of makinj a test of the faith cure, has been retanied to the grave. Mrs. Btickney says that many wroiij; impressions have been formed by what has bcfii printed and facts have been badly twisted. She accordin»;ly makes this full and final statement of the case : '• When my dau^titcr died, on Noveni ber ;iOth, I had no thoughts of having her restored, neither did I have then, nor have I had any time since, any doubts about my daufjhter's death. About a week before death Cora recei\*d divine healing. Pray- ers were beinj; offered for her at the faith meetiiif; and nhe wan iiiBtantly healed. Her akin changed its color, her eyes their ex- pression and her strengtli returned. Very â- oon a caller came and she wished her cure kept a Becret, and ininicdiately her nose began to bleed again. Her wavering faith was not supported by my own, for 1 had none. .Six days after this she died. Seven days later God laid it on me to I>ray for her to be raised. About three days "after Uiis I was impressed to bring her home, but left her in the vault until Febrm&ry 1st, when 1 had the body removed to my home and placed where the frost would come out •lowly at first. Then I had the temper- ature slowly raised. " Sunday, February I'lt'.i, the frost was ont, and we met for prayer and watched for life. God hoard our prayer. Life did return to the body. Klie breathed ; her heart beat ; her biidy became warm and remained so for six hours. There was also m strong smell of brandy around her which we noticed b<-fore we noticed any breath. Others also saw her breathe and felt the warmth of her body. I stood by and rubbed her for a long time, expecting to liear her â- peak and see her rise. The hands grew cold while 1 rubbe<l her, and they also •tiffenod and became somewhat dis- colored. I became frightened and thought tliat life had gone. I asked Ood to show me what we had done, and it came to me that I had put my hands in the way of God's work. Life did not entirely leave the body, however, when I thought it did. There was warmth and a smell of brandy for days after. It did seem some- times for days that I could detect a little breath, but i cannot say that I really knew that she breathed after that Sunday night. "On February lith, IJr. Palmer exam ined her and said there was inanimate life there then. Ur. I'almer, from his stand- point, says she had Ix-en in a trance ; but we believe that life was given in answer to prayer. The body kept warm until F'ebru. ary 16th, without any marked change ex- cept that the tips of the fingers and the end of the no!*e dried from freezing and thaw- ing." Mrs. Htickney says that she can see no difference whether (io<l heals a sick iwrson who is half liead or one whose breath has just left the boily. or one who has been dead for inonlhs, and shcijuotes a number of Scriptural texts in confirmation of her Tiew. THE FISH TIT FOK TAT- Belmont'ii Ketaliatiun Meanure Passed hy Con^reM. A Washington despatch says : The House of Kepresentatives yesterday by a vote of 13H to Vi'A practically decid«i tha,, there shall be no retaliatory legislation at this session of Congress. The vote was on the Belmout substitute for the Bill which passed the Senate four weeks ago, and by this vote the House determined to substitute the more radical for the mora moderate measure. Uelmont wanted iibso- lute nonintercourse between the two countries, and to bring this about he was willing to extend the embargo to the roll- ing stock of Canadian railroads. The debate on the latter extended from 11 o'clock a. in. until 'J p. m., and called forth all sorts r.f patriotism and gush from the able Representatives on the tloor. The members from New England wee far more moderate in their demands ihan those from the Southern States. The Massachu- setts and Maine Kepresentatives declared that the tishermcn most interested did not ask for the Helmont Bill, but would be entirely satsfied to apply the same treat- ment to Canadian vessels that Canada meted out to those sailing under the United States tla^. But the House was not dis- posed to pay any attention to the wants of New Kngland, and the Northwest, which is directly concerned in the pro|K)sitioii to exclude Canadian cars and engines, cut no figure in the controversy. The Bill as amended was {lassed hy a vote of 2'>2 to 1. Tfiis would seem like a very forcible endorsement of the Bill, Lut there is some- thing behind all this. The Senate has ex- pressed itself very emphatically upon the original Bill, and it will certainly not agree to the amendment of the House. The measure will therefore go to a conference committee, and the conferees on the part of each House will be instructecl to stand out for the will of each body as expressed by the vote, and the prosjiect of a compro- inise is not at all gcKxl. It is the general belief on the Hepublican side that the Administration isox)))Osed toany retaliatory legislation, and that this method has been adopted to prevent action, while at the same time the country will be led to think that blood is wanted.

Hall was generally believed to be innocent, and recx^iit develop. ments tend to confirm that Iwlief. Hall and McMahon were neighbors, and Hall's brother married McMahon'u sister. Mc- Mahon alto had a sister half i.ra/.y, who ramenibered after the murder to have heard Hall talk about the gagging and murdering that had l>een done in Texas while he was there. She insisted from this that Hall did the ilccil, since all three of the murdered men were ga^jged. hobble<l and blindftdded when found with their throats cut. Suspicion was at once directed to Hall, 'i'lie murder was com- mitted in August, lHH'.i, but Hall was not arrested until a year later, and was tried in June, IHHI. He proved a distinct uUlii by three of his neighbors and his two daugh- ters, but was convicted on the i!videiice of a fellow-priaoner, who swore that Hall con fessed to liini that Ik^ plotted and carried out the job. This, Hall said, was a hired detective, wlni |>erjure<l liimself. His name is Charles MoMtgoiiiery, anil he is now in penitentiary for burglary, an<l says he â- wore falsely.

The I'llllril .SiHtxH Authorities luvestlKat- Ini; tlir .MeaiiM of Attack on IiilantI Wat^Tn. A Cleveland (Ohio) despatch says ; The local custom house authorities ha%'e made almost daily reiKirts to Washington for three months past alwut dealings with Canada. Fishermen who have caught fish in Canadian waters have been comiiellcd to tell of their doings for the past three years, ami now comes a ijuery to all of the owners of steamboats in the city from which it would ap|)ear that the authorities at Wash- ington arc paying more attention to the tisherics question and the ])OSBible outcome of the controversy than is generally believed. All the owners of largo steamboats have received from Captain F. \ Mahan, of the United States Kngineors' Office at Buffalo, a letter in which he says he wishes to know the shipping facilitiesof tho|>ortof Buffalo. He aaks for a full dowcriptlon o4 ««»vrK v«.**«l and how much room there is available in each to carry paHseiigers. Instead of ask- ing outright, " Will your boat carry so many men through the Welland Canal?" the officer gets around the (mint with several indirect questions. These letters are undoubtedly for the purpose of ascertain- ing what steamers there are on lakes capable of landing men on the (.'aiiadian frontier in cawe of sudden cause for an attack in that dir<!ction. Cleveland has an immense rteet of large freight and ore carry, ing propellers that could be utilised as trBii8[>ortB at short notice. Ileatliiic CarH by SleHlll. A Kt. Paul de8j>atcli says : An official test nf steam heating apparatus was made yeaterilay on a Milwaukee iV Kt. i'aul Ituil rond short line train Iwtweeii St. Paul ami Minnea|Mili9. The device consists of the uao of exhaust steam from the dome of the engine carried through pipes underneath the engine and cars, with patent flexible coupling lietween each car. This pi(ie connects in the centre of each car with a radiating pijie on each side, with a branch under each seat. Thetest seemed i)erfectly satisfactory, the thermometer registering eighty degrees within the car, whileoutside it stoo<l at zero, with a pressure of six pound to the stiuare inch inside llie car. The engineer declared he saw no [ler- oeptible difference in the amount of coal aied. -♦ Wine from .lerusalein. A Chicago despatch siys : Invoices for a large consignment of wine from Jerusalem were received at the custom house yester- day. The invoi<«!s cover 500 gallons of wine and 100 gallons of liquor, and are intended specially for the feast of the l'a88<jvor, which begins April !>th, ond con- tinues one week. This feast is particularly observed among the Hebrews throughout the world, with imposing ceremonies and rejoicing. The wine ia said to be of superb quality, seven years old. The Invoices loft Jerusalem December 16th. A iimi ought to be careful about going to drink between the acts. It may result in his acting bad between the drinks. A MONTKKAI. TRAQKIIY. Youn(<llrl Srrloii»ly Wounded by u Crany Ilriinkrn Man. A Montreal deHpatcli says: On Thurs<lay night a young French Canadian girl named Demise Lavigne, aged IM, who lives with her father, a pilot, was shot in the back and thigh by Patrick Maloney, a man alH)iit 'HI years of uge, who, with his wife, lived in the same house. Matnney, who had l>een considerably aililictc<l to strong drink of late, has been laboring under the impres sion that the I.avigne family were attempt- ing to take his life by injecting |ioiBon through the wall which separates their apartments. During the evening he entered Lavigne's house and without saying a word began to discharge a seven- sluHtter. Two balls struck the girl, who fell on the tloor batlly wounded. Her brother, who was present, esca|>ed, and two balls fell to the ground without effect. Maloney then left the house and coming up town igiiietly gave himself up to the |H)lire autliorities. He was brought before Judge Dugas yesterday morning and, having pleaded not guilty, was committed for trial at the Court of Queen's Bench., The young girl is as well as can lie expected and is <^ared for at the General Hospital. .» • Trouble Among the Tonkas, A liOndiin (-able says: Advices from the Tonga, or I'rieiidly Islands, show that there continues to be great excitement among the natives over tiie trial of the men under arrest for the attack on Missionary Baker. Five more of the prisoners have l>een sen- tenced to death, and thirty others are awaiting their trial. The British Consul, it is said, has succeeded in averting further executions, but he declines to interfere otherwise with the course of justice as ad- ministered by the King. The party known as Old Wesleyans now accuse Mr. Baker of jury pa<:king and of personally trying the natives, and have apiiealed to the Oovernor of the Fiji Islands to send a war ship to allay the excitement fomented by Baker's conduct. The Catholic priests are api)eal- ing to France for proteotion. The Jlritish corvette Diamond has started from Mel- bourne for the Tonga Islands, A wide field for speculation is opened by this paragraph in the Nashua Teliiiraph, describing dancing parties in Amherst, N.II. : " These dances have been kept upon as purely a moral basis as practicable." â€" The hostess who has the tact to arrange cosy little nooks in her apartments, where debutantes can hid away with their partners and enjoy a sly flirtation, beyond the light nf the chandelier, never lacks for a "full house" at any of her entertain- mentt. A MODKRN JACK 8HEPPABD. Tom Worth, the Desperado, Recaptured in Chicagoâ€" A Close 8have from Beini^ Cremated. A Chicago despatch says : Tom Worth, alia* Jim Truman, whoescaped from Oconto Jail on Sunday night, was caught here yes- terday. Worth was under arrest for shoot- ing the town marshal last summer. This is the third time he has broken jail since his arrest, and the story of his escape this time, told by himself, is interesting. He effected it by burning a hole through the ceiling. " I was over two months," Worth said, " in burning that hole through. I had only four or five minutes each day in which to work. That was when a fellow confined in another cell on the same floor went down stairs to get coal. I didn't dare do anything when he was about for fear he would give me away to the jailor. I was confined in a cell on the second floor of the jail. The building is constructed of heavy logs, '20 inches thick. The ceiling is of logs, about 14x16 inches. In the corrider in front of my door was a coal stove. Along in December the plan came into my mind to burn my way out. I knew it was no use to try the walls, but thought I might make my way through the ceiling that was covered with inch boards over the logs. I managed to pry those off and save the nails and then started to burn off the ends of the logs. When I thoaght 1 could raise it I managed to burn the ends off but found a heavy log rested across it above. Then I had to commcnceover again. The cell was whitewashed and the chips that would fall off I saved and dissolve<l in my water cup and with this painted the place about the nail holes so nothing would be suspected. You see they in- spected my cell ouce or twice a week and I had to be mighty careful. As soon as the other prisoner would go down stairs every day I would remove the board and burn one or two holes. It was slow work, but I had good luck and finally the block was only held by a few unburned i)oints. The smoke â€" they had good ventilation in the jail â€" was all carried up and out. Sunday night I removed the block and crept up after getting rid of the shackles. Overhead I had to cut through the weather-board- ing. I came near sticking there, as I got the hole too small. Oh, by the way, when I was burning out the hole in the ceiling the woo<l got on fire. I put it out, by taking a mouth full of water from my cup and climbing up and blowing it over the tlamc in a spray. It was a close shave both times." A ROMAN WKUDING. The lllKh CoulraetliiK I'artlett Aniuiulted by a Ma4lnian. A Home cable says: .\ matrimonia event which has excited great interest in the ecclehiastical world came off a few days ago when the wedding of Signorina Maria Jacobini, the Cardinal's niece, to Bignor Alibrandi, a wealthy merchant, took place with great rejoicing at the Vatican. After the religions ceremony the wedding party adjourned to the Cardinal's apartments, just above the rooms occupied by the I'oj*, whose meditfetiuns mast have been curi- ously disturbed by the laughter and clinking .« m1â€" â€" ..» il.. i.»,.i,r.at t.l.le 'Phfl ('ardiual seeme<l to have forgotten iiis illness for the moment. In the afternoon the young couple had been married civilly at the ('apitol. The proceedings were interrupte<l by a sensational incident. The registration clerk, sei/.cd with a sudden fit of insanity, greeted the bride and bride- groom by pitching a candlestick at their heads. The bride fainte<l, the bridegroom fumed, and several bystanders crie<l and shrieked. Finally, after a hand-to-hand struggle, the madman was collared and the ceremony ended happily. A MKIIICAL 8rHJECT. A Mutilated and IkevcimpoMlnK Human ilody Fouiiil Ilia Trunk at PlttMburK. A Pittsburg despatch Miys: The em- ployees of the Baltimore iV Ohio Kxpress Company in this city made a ghastly dis covery yesterday, which may turn out to l>e another trunk horror. A wooden box, about ''^ur feet long, was reixtivetl here this morn .ng from Cincinnati. It was addressed to James Osborne, Pittsburg, Pa., and had a peculiar odor. A search of the city failed to find the |M'rsuu to whom the box was consigned, and it was then decided to oiwn it. When the lid was broken the mutilated remains of a man in an advanced state of decomiHisition were revealed. The legs and arms were severed from the trunk in order to crowd it into the box. A surgeon here gave it as his opinion that the body had been the |>roperty of a medical student, who had probably 8hipi)ed it to some friend in this city. The top of the head was sawed off, and the work showed it to have been done by a professional hand. The authori. ties have telegraphed to Cincinnati to inves- tigate the affair. ^ Tw o Ladles UragKed out of Church, A Montreal dcs|>atch says : Misses Alice Lamarcux and Mary Ellen Foley, resiKtctable and well-connected young ladies here, the latter the daughter of Mr. F'oley a dry goods merchant, on the afternoon of Sunday last entered the Notre Dame de Bunsecoiirs Church and knelt down in a jKiW. They were not acpiainted with the regulations of thechurch, and, shortly after their entrance, the proprietor of the pew came in and took his seat. He appeared quite satisfied, when suildenly the oeadio of the church approached the young ladies and (taught one by the arm and the other by the neck and endeavored to drag them out through the aisle into the street. A large number of worshipiiera noticed the scene, and throe young gentlemen who were pass- ing at tile time came to the ladies' rescue. They weroindignant at the beadle's conduct, and applied through their attorneys to Mr. Justice Ouimot in the Practice Court yesterday for leave to take a joint action of 9I,OOU against tho beadle and the reverend gentlemen of St. Sulpico Seminary, the proprietors of the sacred edifice. -jr" What's the defferencc between :; piano and a gun, Charley ?" asked a young wife of her non-musical husband.
