burned himself. Home then held it within four or five inches of Mr. Saul's and Mr. Hurt's hands, and the eould not endure the heat. He eame to me and said, Now if you are not afraid, hold out your hand. I did so, and having made two rapid passes over my hand, lie plaeed the coal on it. I must have held it for half a minute—long enough to have burned my hand fearfully; the coal felt scarcely warm. Home then took it away, laughed, and seemed mueh pleased. As he was going back to the fire-place, he suddenly turned round and said, "Why, just fancy, some of them think that onl one side of tho ember was hot.” He told mo to make a hollow of both of my hands; I did so, and he plaeed the coal in them, and then put both his on top of the coal, so that it was completely eovered by our four hands, and we held it there for some time. Upon this occasion scarcely any heat at all could be perccived Again at Ashley-house, after the measured elon gation of Mr. Home’s arms, Lord Adare says: "Walking over to the fire-place Home took from thence with his hand a red-hot glowing ember about the size of a small orange. Mrs. G. (the names are given in full, but I omit those of persons unknown to me, and who might object to publicity) became nervous, fearing that he would request her to take it. He, however went to Miss D., and said, “Now, if you have sufficient faith, let me plaee this eoal in your hand" She replied, "I havo faith, but I eannot overcome the physical dread; pray do not ask me to take it.' Home then placed it on the Master of Lindsay’s head, but immediately took it, crushed it in his hand, and threw it away, because it had beeome blaek. But presently he took another red-hot ember from the fire, and hold ing it in his hand, spoke a few words to Miss D. on the subject of faith. Sho held out her hand, and he placed the coal in it. Miss D. was not in the least burned, and said it felt rather cold, like marble. After allowing it to remain a few seconds, Homo took the coal and requested Miss D. to touch it ; she placed her fingers near it, but withdrew them immediately, saying that it burned her. He then placed it in Mr. B.’s hand.” Earl Dunraven adds in a note : “ I am informed by Miss D. and the Master of Lindsay, that Lord Adare has omittec to state that Mr. Home put this coal between his coat and shirt, under the arm, and that no mark of singeing or burning was visible on the shirt." The Countess M. de Pomar writes to Lord Dur —s, at raven an aceount of a séance held at Lady Brighton, in which she says: “ Mr. Home went to the fire and took out a large red-hot mass of coal, which ho held in his extended hands and blew upon it to keep it alight. He walked up and down the room with it ; then went to Lady and wauted to put it in her hands, but she drew back. He then said: “No, you must not have it, for you have no faith; it will burn you.' Lady G. extended her hands, saying: I wil take it without fear, for I have faith.” Mr. Home then placed the burning mass in her hands, and she did no feel it at all hot, although she held it for at least one minute. It was afterward put on a sheet of paper which directly began to blaze, and had a great hole burned in it" This matter, says the Banner of Light, is of such ex ceeding interest to men of science, as well as inquirers into the marvellous, that we copy entire some more testimony—a letter from the well known authoress, Mrs. S. C. Hall, to the Earl of Dunraven “ 15, Ashley place, July 5, 1869 “ DEAR LORD DUNRAVEN,—You have requested me to recall the circumstances of a séance that took plaeo here several weeks ago. I have much pleasure in doing so; but I never take notes. I am, however, certain of the facts, though I shall not be able to placo them in the order in which they occurred "We were nine (a greater number than Mr. Hom likes) ; we were seated round the table, as usual, in the small drawing-room, which communicates with a much larger room ; the folding-doors were pushed back into the wall, and the portiers unclosed. I think there was one lamp burning over the table, and a very large fire twas blazing away in the largo room. I know that there was a great deal of light. The Master of Lindsay, Rev Mr. Y. and his wife, Mr. Hall and myself, Mr. Home and the Misses Bertojacci were present. We sat for some little time before tho tremulous motion, that se frequently indicates stronger manifestations, commenced
