E D IT O R IA L .W h il e some ignorant bigots were al­

ready preparing to oppose the producing of the Passion Play at the World’s Fair, Joseph Mayer, the manager o f the play, has'refused to come, saying that “ this representation has never been for the ends of gain or popular fame, but as a religious exercise simply.”

The Temple Hall Progressive Think­ers of Rochester, Ind., have issued a handsome little brochure, combining an invitation and program to their dedica­tory services on Sunday, August, 7,1892. The program is elaborate and divided in three sections for morning, afternoon, and evening sessions. At each service there will be mnsic, singing, discourses, and tests. The brochure closes with a declaration o f principles o f the society.

I f t h e r e has never been a month without an adequate supply o f nourish­ment provided to fill it— in all the uni­verse o f animal being— is it reasonable to suppose that there ever has been, is now, or ever will be, a hungry heart with­out a full supply of spiritual nourish­ment? Ho! starving souls ! Arise and eat, and bless the g iv er! Why accept the stones o f doubt for living angel- bread.and why accept the serpent poison o f creed, when an eternal ocean o f love awaits your draught upon it?

T h er e is more spirit-communion in what many regard as "sweet medita­tion” than is generally supposed or known. Vivid imaginings are not al­ways entirely free from spirit participa­tion ; bnt when the soul seems to dream away its minutes or hours with thoughts that come unsolicited, or seems bathed in sweet revellings that stir the emo­tions to forgiveness and a love for all j mankind, we may change the quotation to "sweet spirit-communion.”

Mr. R o b t . S t e v e n s o n in the Esoteric for July commences an examination o f ‘"Creation, from the stand-point o f a Scientist,'’ and closes his preface with the following paragraph:

"Therefore, bearing these facts in mind, we will now proceed to compare the narrative o f Moses with the research­es of Science, and the dreams o f Theos­ophy.”

"The dreams o f Theosophy” is a com­prehensive, i f not pnngent expression.

If we could see the wounds inflicted and the scars left in the sonls o f many, as we can seethe scars left on the phy­sical body, we would be mere tender in oar emotions and more guarded in our speech. But spiritual teachings are making men and women more conscien­tious in their thoughts and feelings to­wards their fellow men, and there are hopes that sensitive souls will have less suffering to undergo in the near future than in the past or at present. Spirit­ualism is laying the foundation for a keener sympathy o f one for the other.

We l ik e to see a stalwart physical giant toss, and fondle, and romp with a baby. There is such a manifest knowl­edge o f the baby's ignorance, weakness, helplessness, and such a loving self-con- fldence in the actions o f the giant. But we do cot like to see an intellectual baby attempt to play the role o f the giant,with an intellectually developed stalwart. The baby gets crashed, and the placid spirited giant simply laughs, which evokes our pity, and sometimes our con­tempt !

A universe o f la w ! An orderly method o f procedure in all its parts, processes, results! A sun-rise, a birth ; a midday, a maturity; a nightfall, a death; each giving place to its successor! How nature places its great fiat nega­tive on the assertions o f special provi- -dence, miracles, chance, happenings, and the positively impossible, because in direct violation o f orderly processes!

Spirit, intelligent and emotional, also under its law ! Law adapted to its na­ture. Law running parallel with its Existence! Law speaking the intelli­gence and beneficence o f the Law-giver and Cause o f being or existence I The acknowledgment o f universal law de­thrones all superstitious creedalism !

It is not alone when the bowed and smitten heart weeps and aoba over its loved and dead and when the great pall o f loneliness falls upon the soul, that Spiritualism discloses its m ighty com­fort and power o f spiritual healing and help. This life is filled with the deaths o f hopes, the sad bruises o f adversity, the stings o f ingratitude, the rough wrestlings with poverty and want, and the chilliness begotten o f selfishness.

From early life to an earth grave, it is a battlefield where more scars than hon­ors are received. It is in the m idst o f this strife and conflict that our philoso­phy and religion shine out the most vigorously and gloriously. H e who has experienced the communion o f the in­visibles and felt their touch o f healing knows the beauty and glory o f spiritual unity .and senses the peace and glory be­yond.

IT is the work o f an angelic ministry to roll away the 9tone which seals the sepulchre where hope lies buried in human hearts. How dismal the philoso­phy o f Calvin— i f it ought to be honored with the term philosophy! T o accept as true a father with a heart hard enough to thrust into a lake o f fire for eternal burnings, a child whose existence was due to the father’s creative act, and his creative will behind the act— a father who could, deliberately-—before his child had being save in the father's purpose— fix and determine the eternal m isery o f that child, without reference to the char­acter it m ight form, seems to us not only to bury all hope in a paternal and mater­nal heart, but to seal the gtave o f hope with the stone o f despair. And there are millions o f Calvinists, otherwise in ­telligent, who go burdened all their lives with doubt as to their own future, and that o f their loved children, and who yet call themselves C hristians! W e do not wonder that the messages from the spir­it world are emphatic in their denuncia­tions o f such a horrible conception o f diety and the administration o f his uni­verse.

Jacob, a patriarch; Joseph, his son ; Pharoab, or Rameses, k in g o f E g y p t ; Moses, the ancient law giver; Aaron and Saul, Balaam and Elijah, Joshua, David, and Sam uel; Isaiah, and Jeremiah ; Dan­iel and E z e k ie l; Zachariah and M alachi; Zacharias and E lizabeth; the three kings o f the O rien t; Mary and Sim eon ; Jesus and his d isciples; Paul and L uth er; Melancthon and W ycliffe; Huss and John K n o x ; Swedenborg and W esley ; the spiritual-minded and spiritual-na- tured am ong all denominations who have been or are psychics, have had vis­ions, interior disclosures o f passing events, fact9, or prophecies, and the creedal Churches believe and approve.

Visions are as common to psychics as eyesight to the natural physical. The same power is working through the same law, and giving the world the same results. A spiritless Churchianity denies. It admits the old because it is found in a b o o k ; it rejects the new be­cause it w ill not wear its creedal collar and subm it itse lf to priestly direction and supervision. Brethren o f the Churches, the angels and their mission to mortals have come to stay, whether you give them welcome or n o t!

W e k n o w o f nothing so effective in taking the starch out o f the overweening conceit o f a person as an interview with a bright spirit intelligence, one who readily analyzes character and sees the emptiness o f both the head and heart o f his pompous and self-sufficient critic. W e have seen the inflated pretensions of such persons punctured as readily and effectively as a lad would puncture a bladder filled with air,with which he had toyed and become disgusted. W e have witnessed the downfall o f pride; the conviction o f the falsifier, the exposure o f the secretive and the anger o f im­potence all resulting from the unexpect­ed utterances o f a medium whose lips voiced the sentiments and the knowl­edge o f the control.

Such do not take to Spiritualism nat­urally and; kindly. They believe in a

gospel of gush, of flattery, o f simulation, ihad to be called to restore him to life, but uot o f plain,unvarnished truth. TbejThat was one o f the old Romish inquiai- ministers of the Churches - could empty jtion's methods of torture, aud good, old their pews as quickly as spirit guide* 'William Penn would make an appeal toempty their seance-rooms o f pompous fools and diasemblera.by using the same methods, /. <*., telling the truth, fearless­ly. This feature o f the angel gospel is what commends it to the honest and open-hearted.

There is a prospect that this case will be taken before the courts o f Pennsyl­vania and the State redeemed from the fhame and disgrace which certain unwise military officers have cast upon it. Cruelty and revenge are poor substitutes for the humanitarianism of this age.

P E A C E IN A R M S.Theodore A. Dodge, a retired United

States colonel, who has been m aking a personal study o f the great armies in Enrope, gives the results o f his observa­tions in an article in the July Forum . One o f the ch ief points arrived at is that the danger that threatens Europe's peace is Russia's greed for conquest— its rest­less pushing across Asia, and the lik in g o f Asiatics for Russia, whose autocratic government they understand better than that o f England. Russia does not exact­ly seek war, but she w ill not rest from her sly encroachments eastward, which may cause a general conflict some day. And besides this, the Russian army he considers the best in Europe in a great many respects.

The w riter says further that more than 18,000,000 men stand ready for battle in Europe, and the noblest work o f the world is perverted to ignoble uses. E u ­rope bas never been so perfectly pared for war as now, but never soldiers so loath to fight as now. may prove the neutralizing agent.

Col. Dodge has much praise for both the German aud French armies, w ith a tendency to give the m ost complimentary words to the former, though such m ili­tary minds as M oltke are sadly m issing at present. H e frankly declares, how­ever, that the E n glish can not now claim to be a m ilitary power, but gives it the palm as a naval force in the world— the future mode o f defense o f civilized na­tions as a means o f protection against those unenlightened nations that are arm ing with modern warfare.

R O M ISH D E S IG N S .The following excerpt from the work

o f Prof. Geo. P. Rudolph, Ph. D., entitled |"The Great Roman Anaconda,” should arouse the patriotic impulses o f every lover o f republican institutions and the perpetuation o f civil law and freedom of conscience. E ds.

The masses o f our American people do not know that the "holy” Roman Catholic Church in America is anything else than a “peculiar” system o f religious belief, with a Latin service and long- gowned priests, subject to the regula­tions o f their bishops and the pope o f Rome. Our people do not understand the Catholic service, and pay no atten­tion to i t ; but they are likew ise ignor­ant o f the fact, witnessed by a bloody history o f one thousand years and more, that Romanism is a well-organ’zed polit­ical power, which, is diametrically op­posed to all other powers on earth. The last decade o f the nineteenth century

! will furnish abundant proof to all who hitherto considered t l ic C b m v k o f

Lome to be nothing but a Church, that they have been grossly deceived. H is­tory repeats itself, and the United States of America will ere lon g witness the out­break o f religious fanaticism and o f re­ligious war-; and Romanism w ill most assuredly conquer our nation and make America Catholic, not only in faith, but also in politics. Those who take the Catholic Church to be simply a religious body, lik e other Christian Churches in America, w ill do well to consider the workings o f this huge papal anaconda,'

not in design, certainly in fact, a donkey rampant with foolscaps gulest drivers with cockades and footmen in the livery o f serfs. A quarter century o f common sense in American society has taken much o f the folly and nonsense of that fever of aristocracy created by the "buz­zard dollar,” out o f the fashionable mar­ket, though too much o f its spirit still remains.

It is astonishing to note how much vanity, and pride, and self-conceit to the squ'are inch o f a man’s character a mil­lion dollars will create! Tom Jones who drilled an oil well, ate his rations and slept in his rough shanty— a good fellow o f his kind, and liked by hi9 working mates— and the H qu, Thomas Jones, the millionaire, and dealer in oil stocks, rail­road shares* speculator, or rather “ opera­tor” in stocks, or the retired Hon.

It is nature's law and process iu all its departments, and therefore the best and wisest. No reforms conld take place in society unless the old forms perish in order to make place for the new. The act o f disintegration or death of forma is always accompanied with more or less of disturbance of the parts, more or less o f violence and convulsions.

voice among the intelligent American people, and from the press o f all parties, and that in condemnation o f the Anar­chist's attack upon Mr. F rick, there is nearly a like unanim ity o f sentim eut in opposition to the barbarous method o f punishment practiced upon the private soldier lam s, because o f his inane folly and unsoldierlike conduct. T h e punish­ment was a barbarity inflicted by civilized officials, in a civilized couutry, and in defiance o f the sentiments o f a civilized State and its laws.

It is no excuse to affirm that Homestead was under martial law, for martial law had not been proclaimed. T h e soldiers were sent to Homestead under orders o f the Governor o f Pennsylvania to assist the sheriff— a civil officer— in preserving the peace. But i f martial law bad been proclaimed and the functions o f the civil law were suspended, it gave to no man, or official, the power to act inhumanly. Granted, that a9 a soldier, th is private lama was subject to a soldier’s rules and a soldier’s laws, and their penalties i f he violated them, yet even the m ilitary laws o f Pennsylvania do not specify as a pun­ishment for their infraction the barbar­ity o f suspending the soldier by h is two thumbs for twenty m inutes, or until he swooned from the pain and the surgeon

T h e Watchmanl an organ o f the Bap­tist denomination, and an able as well as tandid journal, thus speaks o f the pres­ent secularization o f life. It confirms rad illustrates forcibly our oft-repeated daim that the old Christianity, that based upon the teachings and life o f the ;reat Nazarene medium, has practically lied out o f the Churches. T h e true ipiritual glory has departed from them md left them secular m achines. The •Id spiritual life and its manifestations, 10 clearly the result o f the visitations ind labors o f excarnate intelligences,has been transferred to unpopular Spiritual­ism. But it is in the world to stay, and its m ission to the race w ill be fully ac­complished.' W e w ish our space perm itted the re­print o f the entire article, but our read­ers must be content with a very forcible paragraph :

“ There is one m ore evidence o f the secularization o f life in these days that n ust not be overlooked, and that is t l e fdoption by so many Churches o f the methods o f the world. There are Churches in almost every com munity o f any size that are hardly more than relig­ious clubs, as in almost every such com- n u n ity there are pulpits that have been converted into platforms for the discus­sion o f about every conceivable subject that can 'catch' the popular ear. Success it estimated by the state o f the Church treasury and the members that fill the pews. Devices o f various kinds, and sometimes o f a very questionable char acter, are resorted to to attract the out­side myriads. T h e reasons given for so doing are th at,if the world w ill not come to the Church, the Church m ust go to the w o rld ; but none the less does such a policy mean the secularization o f relig­ion, and its abandonment, partially at least, o f its proper sphere and work. And, wha^ is more, it means, soon or late, failure to achieve the end that it has in view. T h e m ore that the Church resembles the world, the less w ill the world care for it. T h e early Christian Church grew and prevailed, because, though, in the world, it was not o f the w o rld ”

H e w ill touch his true spirit level when he awakens on the other side o f life and learns that "shod­dy” is not a marketable commodity in that society. The spirit, who in the mor­tal groomed his horses, w ill be his peer, and the poor whom he despised in his heart and outraged in h is life, w ill be arrayed in character dress which will m ake his rags all the more disgraceful to him self. The judgm ents o f earth,un­der its society laws, and the judgments o f spirit life are not a unit.

This is the false, the seem ing, the speculative, the assu m in g; that is the fact, the cold, unerring fact, the fixed fact o f character.

C A P I T A L A N D L A B O R . OR T H E O L D A N D T H E N EW .

It is evident that society is passing through one o f those great changes w hich have marked so distinctly past epochs o f history. These changes, though seem ingly central in some one distinctive feature o f society, affect m ore or less all o f its departments. L ike the human body, i f one member is dis­turbed all are affected by its derange­m ent, so human society, as a unit of individuals, is profoundly affected when any o f its classes hre greatly disturbed, or are in the process o f a change o f con­ditions.

T h e present disturbance has its roots, or causes, deeper than are apparent to the casual observer. It is not a spasm but a grow th out o f old conditions, a march out o f an old dynasty o f things. Prim arily, it is the result o f an evolu­tion o f the brain structure o f the Caucas­ian race o f w hich society in this country and England, i9 largely composed. Sec­ondarily it is the resu lt o f the higher education o f the Caucasian intellect, in all th ings affecting the rights or the relationships o f individuals. A thor­ough and practical education o f the in­dividual tends to h is segregation, his individualization, his independence, and the clear definition o f hi9 rights and the rights o f society o f w hich he is a com­ponent part.

T h e present phase o f change, lies in the practical relations o f labor and cap-

These are the expected.Old forms of government crumble, but

they perish through bloody baptisms of death. New nations are born through like bloody gestations and accouchments.Liberty for the individual, for the mas­ses o f individuals, has always been won by stripping monarchy and embodied imperial power o f it9 boasted assump­tion o f divine class rights. The death o f absolutism in government commences first in the brain o f the occupant o f the throne, and in that o f his advisers and supporters. The education o f the mas-

j ses, so that they fully comprehend their rights as individuals, and the relation of civil government to those rights, is a tocsin o f death to imperialism which the tyrant's brain readily comprehends and fears. The American Colonies first sent a thrill o f fear and o f unrest into the brain o f George the Third and his ad­visers, and his subsequent forcible at­tempt to subjugate them was a half­hearted performance upon his part. The

I comparative handful o f untrained colo­nists beat the trained aud hitherto in ­vincible armies o f England, and the government gladly signed the treaty o f peace and amity with a people whom it conld not conquer.

Labor, intelligent Caucasian labor, in this country and in England,has reached a position where it w ill not endure the dictation o f an imperial spirit, born o f an excess o f wealth. The mere accident o f wealth creates no personal rights, con­fers no social powers. The brain behind the stalwart muscles o f the intelligent workingman, is as quick to perceive, as d e a f to reasofi, and as valiant to defend as the brain o f the mere capitalist, vrlid under a dying regime o f society has as­sumed all rights and powers, and has looked upon the laborer as a man having "no rights which capital is bound to respect.”

It is a part o f the old slavery regime of this country, but it belongs to a dead age.It died a bloody death, and the sad mon­uments o f its demise are to be found scattered all over the country. Messrs. Carnegie and F rick have not yet com­prehended the fact that the death o f slavery did more than to break chains ; that it lifted the honorable workingman to an equality o f rights with the capital­ist. Mr. Carnegie, whose wealth is an accident, aided by the generosity o f Thomas Scott when president o f the Pennsylvania Railroad system, and who but for this accident, instead o f purchas­in g and residing in a Scotch feudal cas­tle, surrounded by every luxury which an old and dyin g British system estab­lished when there were lords and serfs, would now be purchasing scrap-iron in small quantities and reaping a small profit from its sale.

Mr. Frick , the lieutenant o f Mr. Car­negie, does not realize the social revolu­tion taking place. H e has the imperial spirit, and talks to and about intelligent American workingmen as a mule-driver talks to his mules. Both o f these men are representatives o f a dying and near­ly dead age o f society. They are blinded to the silent forces which have uplifted and are uplifting American la­bor and mental genius to its true pedes­tal in the society o f the immediate future. These men are dangerous in that they foment unnecessary disturbance and provoke unnecessary strife. T h ey turn to the old m ethods o f subjugation through physical force, hence the armed Pinkertons and cruel murders,— and hence the inspiration to a crazy, fanatical, horrible Anarchist's brain, and the speed­in g o f h is m urdering bulleL Such men as Carnegie and Frick should "step down and out.” T h ey do not belong to this age and the present formative condition o f society wherein the rights o f man, as man, are to be respected, and the acci­dents o f wealth and poverty are not to find place in the judgm ent o f charac­ter.

He returned to duty one o f the brightest men in his company and in time became Second Lieutenant At the close o f the war he returned home, married a supe rior woman, prospered in business, and was elected Sheriff o f his county.

This subject has been agitating the public mind profoundly. Since the i>* sue made at Homestead, Pa., and the violence which has resulted, the agiti- tion has become, in some miuds, almo.t a panic aud a general revolution betwegi labor and capital is feared. The folloV- ing calm and temperate view of these relations which appeared in the Ckrt- tian Union is worthy of careful though.

LOTTERIES IN KENTUCKY. Ia v T H I «W TO*»-

There has been a boast, since the de-1 raise of the Louisiana Lottery octopus, that certain old posthumous charters in Kentucky, having in them the element •f a continuous and irrepealable grant, would be resurrected to perpetuate this

r 'mammoth scheme of swindling the poor and enriching the rich, but the following plain statement of the situation and the vigorous voicing of the popular senti­ments of Kentucky, found in the editor­ial columns of the Louisville Courier- Journal, puts that fear and boast at rest.

“Kentucky is tired of lotteries, and old-forgotten charters containing lottery privileges will not prove sufficient for men who design to plunder the poor by appealing to their cupidity. The alleged conspiracy of some lottery experts for continuing the outrages which have made Louisiana a by-word will not hang together. Two lions are in the pathway the first is the act of 1856, the other is the new constitution. The power to re voke all charters is expressly declared in the act of 1856; the determination to re­voke all lottery grants is expressly writ­ten in section 226 of the new constitu­tion: ‘All lottery privileges or charters heretofore granted are revoked.’ It is somewhat too late now to revive a long

The advices show that the stream of molten lava flowing from the volcano, increased in width and volume during several days, being near the crater over fifteen yards wide, and at a distance therefrom dividing into two streams. A large area of cultivated land has been laid waste and great destruction has been wrought among the vineyards.

are stretched out at the base of the mountain, and numerous villages, with long-pointed steeples, tie scattered over the lower region. These form a vast panorama, and terminate at a confused assemblage of conical hills, which for­merly were so many craters. Above these we see rising, immense and majestic, the cone of the volcano, which overtops the clouds and forms the highest point of the island. The cultivated zone of Etna extends beyond 3,900 feet elevation. From this limit vegetation rapidly grows poorer, and toward an elevation of 6,500 feet, becomes very rare.

The slope of Etna is very slight up to an elevation of 3 200 to 4,000 feet, and in general makes an angle of only fifteen to twenty degrees with the horizon; be­yond this it rapidly increases, but at 9.500 feet the inclination of the ground is suddenly interrupted by a sort of plain covered with black sand.

estly accept the Church’s dogmas. As regards the history o f free thought, it is interesting to remark that its enter­ing wedge was Protestantism, and that the Catholic hierarchy foresaw that i f the new heresy was permitted, the deluge of infidelity wonld rush in through the open flood-gates. The permission to think freely, to investigate freely once granted, there was no telling where the matter wonld end. No sooner was Pro­testantism established than it broke up into a great variety o f sects, some of which went to singular extremes. One of the strictest o f these, and one in some respects the most unreasonable, though it was the legitimate offspring o f its age, was that o f the Independents in England, the ancestors o f the Puritans, and so o f the denomination known in America as the Congregational- i8ts. From the Congrationalist body came the Unitarians, on the principle that one extreme begets another, who refined away by their subtleties the di­vine personality o f Christ, and the Uni versaliats, who based their right to the title of sect on the belief that the con demnation o f the wicked was not eternal. Since the advent of these two sects there has been little restraints on thought ex cept the forms practiced in certain es tablished Churches, which have operated in a cohesive way on the senses without preventing, except in the case o f ig norant worshippers, the free expansion of the intellect. Other causes than those mentioned have been at work for the last hnndred years, among which the most potent have been the discoveries of geologists that proved the creation of the world to. have taken place countless ages before the date assigned by the Mosaic record and in a gradual and pro­gressive manner, and those of the evolu­tionists, who asserted and seem to prove that man, “ the root and crown of things,' had, like the world itself, been slowly

IN D E P E N D E N T S L A T E -W R IT I N G .\V a . BU R R .

Four years ago -I b ou gh t two slates, cut m y initials on the inner edges o f the frames where the m arks could be seen only by close inspection, and called on the m edium P. L . O. A . K eeler. W e were entire strangers to each other, hav­ing never m et before. I t was m idday.I sat down by a little table in h is room . The son shone through the sonth w in­dow, and the room was very lig h t. U n- wrapping my slates, I placed them on the table. H e made a few passes over them with a cloth, as i f to rub o u t any marks that m ight be on them . N ever for an instant were the slates o n t o f m y sight. Mr. Keeler sat on th e opposite side o f the table. A t h is request I ad­dressed in writing m y deceased brother and sister, and an uncle o f m y wife, each on a separate slip o f tablet paper. I was careful to hold m y le ft hand over the tablet while w riting so that he could see nothing. I folded each slip into a wad and placed them on the table. H e gave me a bit o f alate pen cil to hold a few moments, and then he pu t it between the two slates. T h ey were perfectly clear o f any writing when he p a t them together, and I tied them w ith m y handkerchief.

Then w e both held the slates over the table. Presently I heard faint scratching within, ending w ith two or three taps, indicating that a m essage was com pleted. In another mom ent he reversed the slates and louder scratching began, in di­cating that another m essage was bein g written. T h is bein g com pleted I was re­quested to untie the slates, and on open­ing them there were two communica­tions, one from m y deceased sister, and the other from m y w ife’s unde.

A gain the slates were tied as before, and p retty soon, when I untied them there was a m essage on the other slate from m y deceased brother. In each case the hand-writing was characteristic and the signatures correct.

But the m ost interesting part o f the performance rem ains to he told. I had gone for that slate-w riting test at the u r g e n t request o f Mrs. *Slenker, and on another slip I addressed to h er the fol •lowing:

Then the slates were held by Mr. Keeler, my­self, and my su n t—six hands upon them at once—and 1 put my ear close to the slates to hear the sounds. I could hear the b it o f pencil moving from side to side. 1 could hear it as it returned and began another line. I could hear the dotting o f the i's and the crossing of thefa . And 1 heard the taps indicating the com­pletion o f a message. When the slates were untied one o f them contained four messages, each one in a very different handwriting, and the bit of pencil was not there. Apparently it had all been used up in w riting the messages. Three of the four messages were in answer to three o f the five questions w ritten ont by me before coming to see Mr. Keeler. My mother, my father, and my niece, each addressed me ap­propriately—-just as i f they were living. They all signed their full names, and the hand-writ­ing was apparently theirs. Mv m other not only answered my questions, bu t gave the Christian name o f my hnsband. My father named his living son, and spoke o f h is son’s hoy who was born five years after my father’s death. My niece named her living brother. Again the slates were pu t together, hu t not tied, because I feared that m ight m ar the w rit­ing already done. • • • Again I heard the sonnd o f w riting, and in due tim e the second slate was filled w ith a message from.my u nde , addressed both to my aun t and myself, and asgneo witb bi* fu lH iam n A«4> iobtfor«.tK*r« was no b it o f pencil left.

T h o se m arked slates n ow contain ed num erous o th er m essages obtain ed b y m y w ife at another sittin g , in answ er to questions prepared at hom e. A t th e sec­ond s ittin g M r. K e e le r b arely touched one o f th e slates fo r a m o m e n t

I , too, had a second sittin g . I w en t w ith m y questions prepared and sealed, and tw o n ew slates. B ein g tied to­geth er and p laced b y m y s e lf b eh in d m e again st th e b ack o f m y ch air, on e o f them w as soon filled w ith m essages. A gain b e in g tied and placed before m e on th e tab le th e o th er slate w as soon filled. M eanw hile, at M r. K eeler’s re­quest, I held a th ird slate nnder the table, w h ile h&, w ith both han ds o n the table, m ade m otions w ith th e b lu n t end o f a lead pen cil, as i f w ritin g . On w ith ­draw in g th e slate th ere was a w ritten m essage from m y o th er broth er in an­sw er to on e o f m y sealed questions. I was carefu l each tim e to see th at the slates w ere clear before th e t r ia l ; and I brou gh t m y sealed papers hom e.

In Ireland, before the great emigra­tion, there were forty-five.

In France, where murder was classified rather scientifically, thirty-one.

In Austria, thirty-six.In Sardinia, where ane part of the

In Tuscany, eighty-fo«r.In the Holy States, where the holy

Cbttrch had most manifestly everything its own way, one hundred.

In Sicily, not quite so intensely de­moralised by Romanism, it comes down to ninety.

Bat in Protestant England, let it be borne in mind, the proportion is four.

! to substitute for our public schools."The advice which Dr. McGlynn give

to his congregation at Cooper Vmou, New York, may well be repeated here as we close this series of papers. Dr. Mc­Glynn said: “Cherish your puhliq schools ; listen not to thetr enemies, no matter whence they come. Make these os complete and perfect as you can. Show no favor to any rival system. If you will not exercise the right, if you will not assume the right to forbid rival systems together, st least do not be guilty of the incredible folly of nursing sad fostering and actually, by appro­priations and tax exemptions, encourag­ing rival systems. Never be guilty of the folly of dividing your school fund among the various churches and sects. Yon, in such a case, would be guilty of destroying one of the greatest and most potent instruments for building up and maintaining one great, free, common nationality.”

VALXXTINE NICHOLSON.In years past I frequently attended

meetings where our good friend and brother E. Y. Wilsou was the speaker. We also visited each other occasionally and enjoyed a social confab. It was on one of the latter occasions that he gave me some of his youthful experiences. He said it was the custom of bis father, just before retiring for the night, to ply. each of his children with a question which they were expected to answer to the best of their ability.

One evening when it came to my friend’s turn, his father said: ‘'Eben

If the majority of churches did not | consist largely of those who do not pne- tice what they preach, the Christian reli* 1 gion would present a better appearance, and would uot be a stumbling-block to truth-seekers.—The world, however, is slowly growing wiser, and the tiny rays of the sun of truth are beginning to puncture the darkness, and Reason ac cepts and spreads the light which is growing deeper and broader.

The man who speaks out what he hon­estly thinks, makes enemies sometimes, but he is sure to wind up with friends enough to bury him ;dccently, and kiud recollections of his good intentions are better than a brass monument in a nice cemetery.

There are a great many pious people in the world who are castiron in their beliefs, and expound wisely on original sin and the redemption, and yet some of them couldn’t say whether Mos­es was one of the apostles or the Roman generals who captured Jerusalem in A. D

Healing magnetism is a fluidic power, which, through exercise of the human will on part of the maguetiaer, passes into the subject aud disseminates the dis. ease inherent. This power lies ia «he spirit—uot the muscles or body to be replenished by any material agency, as has been supposed—and it thus depend* 1 on the psychic energy of the operator to

There is a demand, too, for intelligent and sympathetic treatment of mediums by Spiritualists. Sitters and audiences have a great deal to do with the results, and can to a very large extent make ot mar the conditions, and due thought should be given by them to the laws which govern the phenomena, physics! or trance. The “giving” should not be all on the side of mediums, and the “get­ting” on the side of the sitters. They who “expect” most and "demand” tests, etc., get the least. Those who give most of sympathy and are “in the spirit,” re­ceive most benefit.— Two Worlds.

tions and solves all the difficulties, they mast not accept it, or “ their researches will prove an ignominious failure!” The psychic researchers mast feel grate­ful for this timely information. Hence­forth they will know how to proceed. . . without imperilling their repuUtion.They will know now in what directionSuccess is sure, agd where “ignominious failure" awaits them.

I f they only obey the voice o f Mr. Wettstein’s materialistic fog-horn, ac cept what he does not know as the cri­terion of all their interpretations of phenomena, they will illumine the path way of science, and land their benumbed and bewildered disciples safely on the qnagmires o f assumptive ignorance and materialistic conceit, to revel in the philosophy of eternal mud. Once more let this oracle of science speak: “No knowledge was ever obtained from an alleged spiritual source that did not exist in some living brain." 9 “No light is thrown apon the where­abouts of mysteriously disappeared or murdered persons.”

Of course, Mr. Wettstein knows all that has not happened, as well as all that has! Spiritualists know o f many cases o f discovery of lost persons and lost property and manyrevelations o f facts unknown to any “living brain.” . But all of this counts nothing in the reasonings and dogmatic assumptions o f conceited bigots who worship their own stupid prejudices, and deify d irt

What Mr. Wettstein has not seen, o f course no one else has! His observa­tions and experience are the limit of human knowledge and his ignorance is the standard for psychical research and the possibilities of nature.

Spaniard and all that he had, ought to show the exact marks and monuments which Rome aimed to produce, and Spain bears the harvest the Church planted, and dense, accursed ignorance is one o f those harvests. O f Spain’s 16 000,000 people, 12(ooo,ooo can neither read nor write. Might not the American peo pie, nsing Victor Hugo’s language, say to Rome: “You wish us to give you the youth to instruct; very well. Let us see your pupils. Let us see those you have produced. What have you done for Spain? Spain, magnificently endowed Spain, which received from the Romans her first, and from the Arabs her second civilization; from providence, in spite of you, a word—America. Spain, thanks to you, rests under a yoke o f stupor, degra datiou and decay. Spain has lost the secret o f the power it obtained from the Romans, the genius o f art it obtained from the Arabs, the new world it had from God. And it has received from you in exchange for all you have made it lose, the inquisition, which you would like to establish here, which has burned on the funeral pyre millions o f men which disinterred the dead to barn them as heretics. This is what you have done for Spain and this is what you want to do for America. Take care; America is a lion, and is alive.

The singular point in its construction is that the storage batteries are carried around the circum­ference o f the wheel, preferably close to the tire, and there can be any number of cells, according to the power required It is claimed that in this way the weight o f the storage batteries is more equally distributed, and in such a manner as to cause the minimum interference with the efficient running o f the machine, while at the same time affording a simple and easy method o f construction. The cells are connected by wires to insulated sleeves that carry the current to a motor in the axle o f thewheel, which gives the motive power to the machine.

Personal Influence.—Parhaps we can uot estimate correctly the extent of our influence over every one with whom vie come in contact, because in the ma­jority of cases we are not trying to wield any influence. We meet casually with half a dozen acquaintances in the course of a day; we talk on indifferent subjects and part, and straightway we forget all that passed between us, or we think we do. But the impressions given and re­ceived are as ineffaceable as they might be slight, and we can never hold converse for a brief half hour with any fellow creature without leaving some mark and carrying some away.—Light (London.)

The Columbian Exposition may be closed on Sunday, but that will offer no bar to the visits of national dignitaries aud otbers high in authority, who need its privileges least, from passing through its gates on that day. The visit paid by General Grant with Dom Pedro to the exposition of ’76, and the bitter com­ment it excited is still remembered. Nothing is more probable than that Mr. Quay and his senatorial brethern will profit by all such chances offered them to break and infringe upon the rule they have themselves established. The in­terests of religion aud morality require that the poor man shall be kept out, but the spirit of selfish greed and conni­vance will find many waj s of opening the way to the rich and powerful.— l nity.

An industrious searcher after recon­dite facts has prepared a list o f musical compositions by women, extended from 1675 to 1885. It includes fifty-five serious operas, fifty-three comic operas, and two oratorios, besides a few cantatas, ballad operas, etc. Songs and detached pieces for piano not included; yet the best known musical compositions by women, Frau -Schumann’s contributions to her husband’s song collections aud Fanny Mendelssohn’s assistance to her brothel in his “ Songs Without Words,” are com­prised in these two classes.— N.

By this remarkable showing it appears not only that the United States exported nearly three times as much wheat last year as in the year preceding, but that, notwithstanding this tremendous output, the average price per bushel was higher than in the previous year. The showing for corn is scarcely less satisfactory. The exports o f that cereal for the twelve months ending June 30th amounted to 73i77°»°°2 bushels, as against 29,894,380 bushels in the preceding year, and were valued at $40,623,682, as against $17,124,-

SALTPETRE CAVE.Saltpetre Cave is known to every man,

woman, and child in the northwestern part of Georgia. Thousands have visited it since the war. Strangers from dis­tant States have been drawn toward it by the many legends connected with its past history. The galleries near the mouth are worn smooth by the countless feet that have trodden the clay floors and the hands that have felt the way along the damp walls. Evidences of the use

j to which it was put during the war are ' visible everywhere that the light of a torch or candle can penetrate. The grim stalagmites, once white as the driven snow, are covered as with a pall. All are in deepest mourning. They look black as night, and feel greasy. The stalactites have an unnatural appearance, all blackened as they were by the smoke of the miners’ lamps, and now streaked with white. Great masses of loose stone are to be found everywhere, and the tourist must pick his way over them with exceeding care. The labyrinthine passages diverging from a great central chamber in every direction are filled with pitfalls for the unwary, and more than one life has been sacrificed in the search for the main gallery, which is said to ex­tend a distance of twenty-three miles into the bowels o,f the earth.—N. 1 . 7 ri- b u t t e . ____________

Some silk worms lay from 1,000 to2.000 eggs, the wasp 3.000, the ant from3.000 to 5,000. The number of eggs laid by the queen bee has been in dispute. Burmeister says from 5,000 to 6,000, but Spence and Kirby both go him several better, each declaring that the queen of average fertility will lay not less than 40,- 000 and probably as high as 50,000 in one season. The white ant often produces 86400 eggs in a single day! From the time when the white ant begins to lay un­til the egg-laying season is over—usually reckoned by eutomologists as an exact lunar month—she produces 2,500,000 eggs.—Philadelphia Press.

concert by the Bay State Band o f Middle boro ia the auditorium , which drew a large crowd.

After the concert the m orn ing service open­ed. and Professor M aynard sang a sclo. and professor C o£o gave a cornet solo.

The speaker o f the m orning was Mrs. Ju lie tte Yeaw. of Leom inater. who m ade a very strong address. She took for her them e the h igher oatlook o f Sp iritualism and exhaustively treated the subject, bolding the a tten tio n of the vast audit nee closely •Thiafiaiahed the exercises o f the m orn ing ,and

before the afternoon exercises opened ano ther pleasing concert waa given by the Bay State l u i Prof Potaett op rned w ithin finely ren dered violin solo, which received loud applause *ai this was followed by a solo from Professor Maynard.

Mr. A. E. T isdale waa then introduced by President Storer, and he delivered one of the ablest addresses given on th e g ro u n d s th is season. Mr. T isdale 's com m anding presence sa l hi* d ear and melodious voice reached the almost lim its of the vast auditorium , and held tkeaadience en thra lled by the eloquent presen Utioai of Spiritualism as a science and religion aad the good which it has done.

Mr. Edgar W. Em erson then followed w ith a public test seance, p resen ting th a t evidence of tbe presence of relatives and friends, which l always so e»gerly sough t fcr. A large numbe were iccognixed by b is g raphic descriptions.

Mr. Emerson, assisted by Mrs. De Wolf, inde­pendent slate-w riter from Chicago, and Mrs Carrie Twlng, gave a public aeance a t th e tern pie ia the evening, which waa well a ttended .

A delightful ride through the woods for absutfour miles brought them to tbe favored spot. The tide had ju s t begun to ebb, and the aea and children a t once began to gather the ses-food so abundant here. Soon the boys bad gathered a pail full of scallops, probably tbe sweetest shell-fish in th e bay. while within twenty feet more than a bushel of tbe sneen lest long clams were soon dug. while ju s t over the bar quahogs in abundance could be g a th ­ered for the taking. Meanwhile the ladies were spreading the improvised table on the rocks, while men gathered wreckage and branches sad soon had the fire roaring, heating tbe rocks for a clam bake. When thoroughly hot rock-weed Is spread over them, then the clam s, potatoes, bluefish. corn, i f you have i t and swet potatoes are laid upon the rock weed,then

another layer of weed, and tbe whole cowered with canvas. A half hour's steam ing serves to cook the entire dinner. The bake is then opened, dinner served, tbe hot coffee proves delicious, and with happy conversation, jokes and laughter, all tbe good things are disposed of. Away out beyoud the bar, bare a t low tide, tbe men wade o st and plunge into the briny. Then at nightfall the barge is loaded, aad home again after a perfect day, the happy company disperse to their homes.

There is no use in trying to exhaust Onset— it is s place of beauty and a joy forever.H a s s a s o i t .

There wts an unusually large attendance, and some excellent ideas were put forth. Another con Terence was held on Sunday morning'. In tbe afternoon Brother Lyman c. Howe occupied the rostrum and spoke in hi* usual broad and logical manner. The following questions were propounded : “ What doe* Spiritualism offer to the world that is superior tg the teachings of the orthodox religion?" "William Denton. "Humility."The first subject named was made the basis of the discourse and the last two were beauti fully woven together in un inspirations* poem which paid high tribute to tbe grand, loving, noble, yet sweet, and cbild-like soul, William Denton.

His whole being rose to its highest grandeur, for it was in perfect keeping with the theme—a synopsis of which may appear

Mr. W right was followed in the afternoon by Mrs. Cora L. V. Richmond, of Chicago.

The m eetings were held in the deep forest— in a natnra l arena, where green trees overarch our auditorium . A 'platform has been erected, and as the arena is egg-shaped, tbe r is in g hills on each side form a natural condition where 5,000 people can gather w ith in tbe sound o f an ordinary voice.

Tbs intellectual quality in which wo­man ia strangest ia, undoubtedly, the in­tellectual quality nearest allied to the emotions; namely, intuition. And this is slstf the quality most peculiarly pres­ent in those high end exceptionally val­uable individual organisms that we call geniuses. The genius is skin to the wo­man in this, that what he guesses and jumps st is slmost more important than what he deliberately reasons and sees. His very differentia ss a genius, indeed, ia most often this: that he clears at a bound what othqr men would take long marches to get over. Laplace’s mind cleared at a bound the obvious interven­ing steps which genins of a somewhat leas exalted yrpe could only slowly and cautiously creep over. That is exactly what we call intuition—the power of seeing implications, one knows not how. And it is this sort of intnitioo, coupled of course with high masculine qualities —knowledge, application, logical power, hard work—that gives ns the master­pieces of the world’s progress; thatgives ns steam engines and locomotives, telegraphs and telephones, Hamlets and Richard Feverels, Newton’s Principia, and Spencer’s First Principles. Whence does humanity derive thia extremely important and especially progressive gift? To a large extent, 1 believe, from its feminine half. The moat averagely masculine men are not remarkable in any way for intuition. On the contrary, the common male way of going about anything—the safe, ordinary, business­like way—is the way of direct observa­tion and strict reasoning, the matter-of- fact way, the way that proceeds wholly upon known methods, a step at a time, and arrives at comparatively familiar re­sults. It ia as far removed as possible frpm the feminine intuitive way—an un­safe, precarious, unsatisfactory way, when ill-employed in incompetent hands; but a fruitful and sometimes al­most miraculous way, when guided by competent knowledge, balanced judg­ment, logical ability, and critical acumen. And why have women this gift of intui­tion at all ? Well, its origins are not sin­gle or simple; they go down a long way

In the Contemporary Review and in the Abemarle Review Mrs. Fawcett in­dulges in some legitimate exultation over several of the opponents of woman’s suffrage at the defeat of Sir Albert Rol- lit's bill in the British Parliament, by a no greater majority than twenty-three. The smallness of the majority indeed indicates the commencement of a new departure in the history of woman's suf­frage. In pointing out the significance of the division Mrs. Fawcett docs not, however, repeat Mr. Labonchere’s expla nation of the heavy vote in favor of fe male franchise. The division was de dared, and it was found that in a House of 400 members the bill bad been thrown out by only twenty-three votes. Mr. La bouchere was heard exclaiming to all and sundry that the only wonder was the bill hsd not carried, because, said he, gravely, Sir William Harcourt had been going up and down the lobby declaring that if it passed he would at once retire from public life. The temptation was so irresistible that the only wonder was that the bill was not carried on the spot Mrs. Fawcett deals seriously with the subject, and replies very effectively to several of the ‘‘arguments'* that have been used against the enfranchisement of half the human race.Dealing first with Sir Crichton Browne's

ON WOMEN.We can not determine what the qieen-

ly power of women should be, untl we are agreed what their ordinary p>wer should be. We cau not consider how education may fit them for any wflely extending duty .until we are agreed vhat is their true constant duty. And tiere never was a time when wilder wtrds were spoken, or more vain imaginatiop permitted, respecting this questioi— qnite vital to all social happiness. The relations of the womanly to the manly nature, their different capacities of intel­lect or of virtue, seem never to have been yet estimated with entire consent. We hear of the “mission" and of the

rights" of woman, as if these could ever be separate from the misson and the rights of man— as if she and her lord were creatures of independent kind, and of irreconcilable claim. This, at least, Is wrong. And not less wrong— perhaps even more foolishly wrong— is the idea

Civil government is the prime condi­tion of civil order. Upon it rests the existence and perpetuity of all our sub ordinate institutions which go to ad­vance oar welfare and happiness. Socie­ty is modeled and regulated under ita protecting and beneficent sway, and therefore, personal rights and social privileges are maintained. It does not exist without friction. Kvils are inci dent thereto. But, on the whole, there is more good than evil, and the condi tions ore far more desirable than any which might obtain without it. Thus we have d iffereutation in Church and State. It speaks for itself. The C h urch has its own functions, which^ are easily stated, and the State its own distinctive status, which is quite as easily diagnosed.A free republican government is compe­tent for the distinctive development of both without harm to either.

T H E B E S T M O D E Q F B U R IA L . There is a better way o f disposing of

the dead than to burn them. And that is to bury them in direct contact with the ground, in dry, loamy soiL Our or­dinary burials do not accomplish this, although to do this is manifestly their intention. How does this happen ? Because we put the body into a heavy wooden casket, and thia casket into a pine box, and thus between the body and the ground we place two thickness­es of wood which will resist indefinately all the efforts of the earth to dispose of the body. Some change, o f course, takes place, but it is putrefaction, not decomposition: a most horrible and sickening change. And this putrefied mass is held inside the coffins; and it is the wood impregnated with the gases of which the body is composed which makes it dangerous to live near a ceme- tary. But in the order o f nature the earth is the proper receptacle for all that have lived upon it. Who ever found the body of a dead bird ? W hat becomes of the millions o f brutes which die annually ? What hunter ever foundthe carcass of a wild beast which had oeen any ume aeau r rue answer tothese questions is, No one. But why ? Because as soon as brutes die, the pro­cess of decomposition at once begins and rapidly runs its course. Animal life of a peculiar kind devours part of the body, and chemical changes occur which work the removal of other parts

Bith their multiplied branches haring ssflttmbered ro ta rie s ; their sacred

got occasionally, d arin g the passing i f agtte m inds arise and assert their Bggr to consider this^question for them- ittn*. Whenever and wherever these fcoae appeared a skepticism as to both the authority and the nature o f th e old enslaving teachings, has resulted.

And now yon ssk ns, as re tu rn ing sp ir­its. this old, familar question. F o r the past forty-four years the question b«« been propounded to o ther sp irits, and as they have answered, so m ast we, in truth, and deny the affirm ations o f the past, touching deity, and m ake th e affir­mation em phatic th a t m an has held mis taken views regarding th e Infinite. We must voice o u r own experience. We have m et no deity as described by any of these religionists. W e have stood before no th rone upon which h e s its as judge. We have heard, ex terior to our consciousness, no words o f condem na­tion or approval. W hat has been w rit­ten by man in the past may be said to oooUiu symbols o f th e tru th ,* b u t liter­ally taken, as i t has been taugh t i t ia u t­terly false.

What, then, do we find ? All splrita agree in this, that there ia a manifest power of life, nnacconntable, incompre­hensible, unfathomable; that in its op­erations, through law, universes, worlds* snd systems of worlds have apparently sssumed existence and form. We call this power creative, this all-potent ener­gy, God. We build no shrines, we bow is so abject servitude, because we find so such service required of man, the spirit We move through the vastness of space constantly observing some­thing which awakens both wonder and admiration. These increase until we sense that feeling or emotion which, in its highest sense, is worship. And a til] we know not God in a form which man can behold, or which would even come within the sphere of man’s comprehen­sion. •

Worlds on unnumbered worlds revolve in space, each teeming with life and all obedient to law. Each exerts an in­fluence upon all others, and all yield im­plicit obedience to a central sun around which they revolve. Sana and systems revolve in like manner around still greater centers or suns. It ia believed by those intelligences on this plane of life, whose researches have been the most profound, that all these systems revolve around one unapproachable cen- er of all tuna and systems, from which all draw their potencies, using these po­tencies and u returning them again throngh law, so that nothing ia lost or exhausted. This unapproachable, inde­finable, inexhaustible source of life we call God.

It is observed in all natnre and mani­fest in every form of life throughout habitable immensity. All of the diver­sified forms which Jt assumes we call matter, which is but another term for “God made manifest" Spirit Alexander Pope, through a former inspiration, said:

"I have not found i God in form To answer man’s ambition ;’ Nor one who blesses souls above,

And curses to perdition.

The term Christ hsd reference to his work, his mission among mankind, and signifies “the annotated,** chosen, com missioned, set apart. God ia spirit. All who do the work o f God are Christa, an ­notated ones, set apart for the por­tion o f work which they are com­m issioned to perform. In the ear­lier days o f Christianity th is person was spoken o f aa Jeans, the Christ, as one would use a given nam e and surnam e. In later centuries they are used indis­crim inately.

To us all men are Christa who cherish in the ir natures and exem plify in the ir lives the principle o f love, lifting o thers above the desire, and tak ing away from them the conditions o f wrong-doing, and the subsequent suffering which flows from a wrong sp irit and a w rong life. Such become the saviors o f men, and al­though they may no t bear the nam e o f Jesus, yet it shall be said o f them , "T hey have saved the ir people from th e ir sins.**

Ans.—E xpression o f form th ro u g h gradual nnfoldm ent from low er to h ig h ­er, is the apparen t o rder o f natnre. W ith us this is no t m erely theoretical. N a­ture 's laws are ever th e same, and w hat has taken place in th e p ast is tak ing place at the p resen titim e. W orlds are form ing, o r are in th e creative process now.

The law of evolution is producing primitive man on earth to-day. Thefe are no missing links, for all are apparent in life's great chain. I would not say that man had developed from the lower order of animals; but, rather, that man as an animal, had developed from the lower man. In whatever stage of devel­opment he might have been found, it was always man. A9 yon magnify a drop of water and behold the variety of its forms of life; and as even in the air you discover the same, so there was a time in the formative condition of the earth's development when its matter contained infinitesimal forms, the germ of which has produced man. In every stage, and in every change, it has been man.

These germs appeared upon the earth at first where the earth had ripened for their production. Not in one place alone as an Eden, bat that Eden garden which had ripened for the appearance of the race. That portion of the earth upon which the hnman pair appeared, by its climatic and other conditions, has large­ly determined the color, textnre, and form of the outer body which the race should wear, and largely the modes throngh or by which the sonl should ex­press itself, as in language, manner of liv­ing, and kindred matters. From these birthplaces of the race the tide of life has swept onward, progress marking its steps and governing it aa a law, continu­ously.

Through this law of progression and evolution man, as he now is, stands upon the earth to-day. The varied stages throngh which he has passed, and is now passing,so clearly traced in nature’s historic books, must, we think, convince any fair-minded student and -observer that evolution as an integral part of the great economy of nature and law is still a potent factor in the .future develop­ment and perfection of the race.

SNAKES AS PETS.And don’t beLfrightened out of your

senses if, while being entertained in a Brazilian home, yon find a big snake comfortably asleep in your rocking chair, or coiled nnder yoor pillow, or feel his slimy length drawn slowly across your neck in the night time. It is only the useful and harmless housesnake, which people keep as we at the North do cats, for extermination of mice and roaches.I have not yet learned how to spell his Portuguese name, but have been in­troduced to him, so to speak, a number of times, and live in hourly dread of his attempting to cultivate a closer acquain­tance. He is commonly from about seven to twelve feet long, and is dressed in gray, mottled with black. Already we have been offered several of the so- called "beauties !” to take home with us as souvenirs "of pleasant visits; and when we have declined the honor, with out being quite able to disguise our shuddering horror, have been asked with surprise, "Don’t you have rats and roaches in your country ?” Aud it is im possible to tell one’s kind entertainer; that we infinitely prefer millions of rats and roaches to theirjfavorite pets. Here dogs are few and cats are fewer; but every family has parrots and monkeys galore, not to mention the useful house snake, as universally and numerously as we foster canary birds and kittens.— Pittsburg Dispatch.

MOUNTAINS OFJBRITISH COLUMBIA British Columbia ba9 a length of 800

miles, and averages 400 miles in width. To whoever crosses the country it seems the scene of a vast earth disturbance over which mountains are scattered without system. In fact, however, the Cordilleras belt is there divided into four ranges, the Rockies forming the eastern boundary, then the Gold range, then the Coast range, and, last of all, that par tially submerged chain whose upraised parts form Vancouver and the other mountainous islands near the mainland in the Pacific. A vast valley flanks the southwestern side of the Rocky moun tains, accompanying them from where they leave our northwestern States in a wide, straight fnrrow for a distance of 700 miles.—Julian Ralph, in Harper's.

THE SIROCCO.Most of the hot winds of the Old

World are modified forms of the simoom. The sirocco originates in the Sahara, and travels northward to the Mediterranean and Southern Europe, but it is not so deadly as ita prototype. It brings with it great quantities of the desert sand, and the air becomes so dense at times that the sun ia obscured aa if by a Lon­don fog. While it remains on the Afri­can mainland it ia characterized by a very marked dryness, as thefe are no ex­tensive water surfaces to supply it with moisture. As soon, however, as it is launched over the Mediterranean it be­gins to take up copious draughts, so that when it reaches Malta, Sicily, and the southern shores of Europe, aa a wind from between southeast and southwest, it has undergone a change from hot, dry wind to a hot, damp wind. The result of this alteration ia that it becomes more enervating to the human constitution. Indeed, while it prevails from one to several days at a time, life ia scarcely worth living, so depressing and burden­some is the wind. It ia the plumbeous auster of Horace. Human energy is quite dissipated under ita fatiguing in­fluence, and with a temperature ranging between 95 find 110 degrees, the streeta of the towns affected by it are deserted

But we willingly take the bitter with the sweet, in order to execute the work laid out by our heavenly directors. We are glad that we did not go by Biraboo. Kernels of wheat sown there in perplexity will yet bear fruit, and sweet words of appreciation from loving hearts win linger in onr memory.Fsrlor meetings on soul development were held at the house of Mr. Fred Crouch and Mr. Hecox, and hearts were cemented together by the great interest in becoming more accessible to hesvingly intelligences.Cordial invitations come from the East, spd my heart goes with earnest longings to the camps, both East and West, but duty keeps us on this line, and we moat not waver.We go to Madison from here, and all mail is, as usual, forwarded to me from Minneapolis.

We have not as many attractions as some of the other camps, but we have a beautiful sugar grove of nature's own planting in which to hold our meetings, and we think our speakers and mediums are about as good as anybody can boast of. 'Ashley is thirty-five miles north of Colum­bus on the Big Four or the C. C. C. & St. Louis Railroad. The camp is but a few hundred yards from the depot, and very cheap trans­portation will be furnished to persons who do not care to walk. Board and rooms will be ns cheap as possible. We can not promise much of a boat ride, but feel safe in saying that we will have a good and profitable meeting.Come all, and we will do what we can to make your stay comfortable. H .

S t. Louis, Mo.* Adrian B. Omerod, of 2324 Pine Street, writes that recently a movement was inaugurated SL Louis for the purpose of forming an addi tional Spiritualist Society. Succt s* crowned the efforts of its projectors, and for over five weeks two meetings have been at held Cbatworth Hall on the corner of Seventeenth and Olive Streets both enjoying good results. Though no official organization has yet been effected, yet the de termination of many excellent citizens who are anxious to attain this end will probably succeed in its accomplishment. The meetings, however, of the first named will be continued through August. A ladies’ aid is already i successful operation. A mediums’ meeting will be held every Sunday, as soon as the hot weather is over. Some of the tests given at , D** recent services were pronounced excellentG. G. W. Van Horn writes that the spiritual senricen held by him at the same hall since Jane 19th have been very satisfactory, both in attendance and results. Many volunteer me* dlnmsand speakers took part, among whom may be mentioned Mrs. M. Ackerly, Mrs.. Rob­erts, Mr. Omerod, and Dr. J. H. \V rough ton. At tbe closing services of the convention on the 17th Dr. Wrongbton delivered two lectures, in one of which he related tbe extraordinary ex­periences relative to bis mediumahip.Professor Van Horn also writes very hope­fully of the cause in St. Louis, and predicts a glowing fnture for Spiritualism there. The professor is now at Kansas City, Mo, and may be addressed at Hotel Thorne, Ninth Street.

The workers at home are glad those who could attend camp have done so that they may return when the season closes with memories laden with old truths freshen­ed, and new ones sparkling bright to be used the coming fall and winter, in cheering labor­ers in the field and enlightening the way for the earnest seekers for the true light among the general public. Speakers are aljvays pleased with the attention paid them by atten­tive audiences ; but feel more complimented when it may come to them, that their goods in the way of select, choice and heavenly thoughts, have been carried into Macedonia and the societies of the provinces. So let friends who are enjoying the inspiration of the Lecture Bureau at the camps see to it thst they gather sheaves of thought dally, and
