spirit drawings. The blank paper was marked by those present and placed under a shawl which had been tied round the table; a scratching noise was then heard, and in from seven to nine seconds the drawing was completed. M. CHEVALIER expressed his belief that the manifestations were diabolical, and said that one spirit had candidly acknow ledged to him that he was the Devil. The manifestations at his house always stopped at the name of the Trinity. The Countess ADELINA DE POMAR then made a few re marks to the effect that it was very narrow-minded and wrong to drive away as diabolical those poor spirits who chanced not to believe in the Trinity. Miss HOUGHTON, of 20, Delamere-crescent, Westbourne square, W., deposed that for years she had refused to com municate with any spirits but those who confessed their belief in the Trinity, and joined with the members of the circle in prayer. The manifestations did not stop at the name of the Trinity, and her spirit friends were good ones. Miss ANNA BLACKWELL, of the Avenue d’Eylau, Paris, deposed that at her séances they always began with prayer. Once at Mr. S. C. Hall’s the spirits said, “ Now, pay attention, and we They will show you how we form things out of the air!" watched, and presently they saw the air become thick, fog like, in one spot, and then it became solidified into cloth. That cloth was passed around, examined, pulled, and was seen to be such a piece of cloth as might be sewn on a trowsers. It was then put down, and gradually melted away into the air. Mr. PERCIVAL, an officer in the Guards, narrated several instances in which, after prayer, he had seen some of the future events of his life pass before his eyes, and that these visions, together with the persons represented in them, were afterwards met with in reality. Mr. HAIN FRISWELL. author, deposed that he had seen the manifestations in Mrs. Marshall’s presence in his own house. He knew they were real, and the ladies of his family had even searched Mrs. Marshall, clothes and all, thoroughly. Raps and table movings had also been obtained by the mem bers of his own family without the presence of a professional medium. He regarded it all as the work of the Devil. A great many other persons also deposed that they had seen certain remarkable manifestations. At one of the meetings of the society, when fifty or sixty ladies and gentlemen were present, including the reporters of several London news papers, Mrs. Mary Marshall, the medium, of 2, Bennett-street St. James’s, W., attended. A public séance was the result. The mental tests were failures in all cases but one, when a name asked for and unknown to the medium was signalled out. The physical manifestations were successful, as the table bounced about the room, and got up on a sofa, without anybody being able to detect trickery. Raps also came upon one of the folding doors, at a distance from the medium, in a good light, with plenty of witnesses looking on. The pro ceedings were fully reported in the Daily Telegraph next morning. The other practical investigations made by the Dialetical Society have been conducted in private, and have not yet been published. The inquiry into this subject will be continued during the winter months
