What's In A Dream

A private letter, printed in the Boston Transcript, relates the following curious circumstaace in conneotion with the death of the late Bishop Lee, of Iowa : " We have been very anxious the last two weeks over the illness of Bishop Lee, which terminated in his death on Saturday morning. The whole conimunity are Baddened by the event. Bonie two tnonths ago he got up in the night aud took a bath, and on returning to his room he made a mistake and stepped off a long flight of stairs, and landed at the foot with a tremendous crash, as he was very heavy, weighing over two hundred pounds.

And the fall finally caused the Bishop's death. His hand became intensely painful, and gangrene set in, which, after two weeks of suffering, terminated his life. We are none of us spiritualists, as you know, but surely faots like this must go far to make us realize that there is a basis of truth for their hypothesis of spiritual faculties resident in man.
