A Remarkable Coincidence. 
Facts of t bo Class to which tho following from 
the Hanover (Pa.) Spectator (&tnl which is 
vouched for as true in every particular,) belong, 
are not nfroquonl; but w o believe are yet, to be 
classed among unexplained phenomena. The 
paper named says s Ah is well known to all our 
citizens, tho wife or Mr. Abraham M. Forrv, 
grocer, on Broad way-avenue, has boon a helpless 
and bedridden invalid for tho last t hirteeii years. 
On last Thursday ovening, t o the great, surprise 
of those In tho room with her, she raised up sud¬ 
denly in bed, us if under great mental excite¬ 
ment, and stated that sho was positive in the 
belief that her attendant physician, Dr. A. J. 
Snively, was in imminent peril of drowning. Her 
attendants quieted her fears, assuring her that 
it was only a vision or dream. Upon the doctor’s 
next visit she was st art led to learn that what 
sho had described w as an actual fact or occur¬ 
rence, the doctor having made a very narrow 
escape from drowning at that very hour, while 
attempting to cross Oonewago Creek on the 
Frederick road, near Bollinger’s mill, (formerly 
Kltzmiller’s.) which had become swollen by the 
thawing and breaking up of the ice. 
Miss Emily Fnlthfull. 
Tins lady—an English lady—who is one of the 
great representatives and advocates of the high¬ 
er industrial and educational interests of wo¬ 
men, has, during the past week, been tho recip¬ 
ient of n " reception " by the women of New 
York, at Btalnway Hall. It was entirely worthy, 
in numbers and character, the noble woman to 
whom it was given ; and In response to the ad¬ 
dress of welcome, Miss Faith full delivered a 
wonderfully eloquent extemporaneous speech 
SVI00B£ ! S BUBAL WEW-Y0BKEB. 
C-, 
ori tho subject of the recognition of woman’s 
right to labor and independence. In England, 
she said, there are now over 2,500,000 women de¬ 
pendent on their own exertions for their sup¬ 
port. This fact, Miss Fa Em FULL thought, 
showed that society required a readjustment 
that would take years to bring about, and that 
tho world roust yet learn that while work Is not 
dishonorable in man, idleness is discreditable to 
women. Miss Faith full entered a strong pro¬ 
test agidn t the life of mere pleasure to which 
the young women of the day are bred, and be¬ 
lieved that if women, from their early youth, 
were trained tip to useful and honorable em¬ 
ployments, tho first step toward the solution of 
tbo delicate problem of the future of women 
would be achieved. She also said that in En¬ 
gland it was a common belief that, if women re¬ 
ceived the opportunities for suitable and re¬ 
munerative labor, thnt they would lose the de¬ 
sire for marriage. This she ventured to contra¬ 
dict, and hoped that such belief did not exist In 
America. 
Accepting the Pacific R. R. 
Oliver Ambs testifies that, $25,000 wore paid 
to Government Director Cornelius Wendell, t o 
pursuade hint to accept a certain section of the 
road of the Union Pacific Railroad Company. 
Then tho Directors of that Company had there 
doubts—very strong ones they must have been— 
that they hud not. filled their contract, with tho 
Government In the construction of that road; 
hence they attempted to swindle tho Govern¬ 
ment by buying up the inspecting directors ap¬ 
pointed to examine and report whether Gov¬ 
ernment should accept the work or not. One 
of these Directors Is reported purchased. How 
many others have been ? And how many hom- t 
people have been swindled out of their money 
by tho representations of t hose who have had 
the selling of Union Pacific Railroad bonds? Tf 
there ever were any revelations which should 
eternally condemn this business of special leg¬ 
islation in Congress or State Legislatures, tve 
think the past two years have afforded enough 
of both. 
Work of the Joint Commission. 
A Washington dispatch dated Jan. 25th says: 
The number of British claims disposed of by 
the United States and British Commission is 
18-1; number of British claims filed, 478; the 
number of American claims disposed of, I ; num¬ 
ber <>f British claims disallowed, 103; number 
of American claims disallowed, 1; number of 
Brlttlsh claims dismissed without prejudice 
to ( lie prosecution of tho claims elsewhere, 21; 
number of British claims withdrawn by claim¬ 
ants, 5; number of award* to British claimants, 
54; total number of awards to British claimants 
to this date, $274,1)97 In gold. Tho gentlemen 
connected with the Commission say its business 
will be finished by tho 28th of September, 
being within the time fixed by the Treaty of 
Washington. 
Boston and Crime. 
Tine Chief of Police of Boston, in his annual 
report, has enunciated a new principle as gov¬ 
erning tho action of the police force of that city. 
It is, “To diminish crime, it must be prevented." 
In other words, the mere punishment of crime 
does not prevent it, any more than a steam fire 
engine diminishes the number of fires that are 
started. The detective system in Boston has 
been ahull lied. If crime is prevented, there 
are no criminals to be hunted and delected. If 
there is on influx of thieves and bruisers into 
Boston they are watched from the start. They 
are not let alone until they have broken into 
some one’s house, and committed robbery or 
murder, and then hunted 1 they are marked, and 
prevent ed from perpetrating their depredations. 
This is police wisdom; and it is good theory and 
practice, even if It does come from Bost on. 
The Franking Privilege. 
Tub Congress of the United States has passed 
the foil owing bill abolishing tho Franking Privi¬ 
lege. 
Be it enacted, clc,, That the Franking Privi¬ 
lege lie and t he same hereby is abolished from 
and after the first day of July, 18743, and that 
thencefort h all official correspondence, of what¬ 
ever nature, and other mailable matter sent from 
or addressed to any officer of the Government, 
or to any person now aut horized to frank such 
mutter, shall be chargeable with the saute rates 
of postage as may be lawfully Imposed upon like 
matter sent by or addressed to other persons: 
Provided, That no compensation or allowance 
shall now or hereafter be made to Senators, 
Members and Delegates of tho House of Repre¬ 
sentatives on account of postage.
