mer and winter of 1886, and the spring of 1857 It's
calculated that during that period the mercantile
classes paid to the banks and their secret agents their
whole capitals in usurious interest On the Isl OF
January 1885, the surplus revenue the basis Of these
extortions was estimated at $1,000 600, and on the
same day and month of the present year. It had IN

rate ofinteres began TO increase, up to the lh May,
1897 period of two years, the 1000 merchants in
New York paid $4,000 900 to the twenty banks and
their secret agents in extra usurious interest. The
banks, in their own statements, claim Sc, 900 of
profits and it is probable the balance, $4,000 00
went TO their secret confederates. The conse-
quepce of this system, was the failure of $50 houses
between the 18th March and 10th of May, and the
extension of many others that did not openly fail.
These are solemn undeniable facts. We charge

On Monday morning last as was passing down
Wall street, l met A. c. Thompson, Esq formerly |
President of the Union Bank With this gentleman
on several previous occasions, have held long con-
versa,ions on electro magnetism, the wonders of
which have been fully revealed to the world by Daven-
por, & Cook. Mr.. T. accosted me with his usual
suapiter in nodo, and said (" Mr. B. have seen some
remarks on animal magnetism in your paper"
l replied 81 have made few remarks"
Mr.. Thompson then went on, and gave mo a mar
rave of some very peculiar experiments he had recent,
ly seen, which puzzled him much. They were ex-
perments which had taken place in the city, and the
lady who had made the revelations while magne-
tic slumber could possibly know the persons or
scenes she described.
replied that the phenomena Of mind were peculiar.
So far know, mind communicated with mind
only by sound sight and touch. Yet, for any thing we
know, there might be some other mode of communi-
cation yet discovered, and it possible that, by
means Of the same invisible essence which caused
Davenports wheel TO revolve mind could com
mxncate its impressions TO another
Mr.. Thompson then told me that there was a lady
at lob Liberty street. Mrs. Andres by name, who was
a magnetic somnambust, her husband Mr.. Andres,

g will procure for you an interview with her, and
let you see an experiment in the act. / am myself
extremely undecided on the matter. You have
discriminating mind, and should like to know your
opinion"

invitation"

Precisely at four o'clock Mr.. Thompson, with ano

put on my hat, seized my cane, and sailed out We
walked in company down to l03 Liberty St, where
Mr. Andres, the magne,zer, and Mrs Andres, his
wife, the magnetizee, both reside. Here one Of the
most remarkable experiments tosk place in the art Of
Animal Magnetism that ever recollect to have heard
or read Of Such effect did the persons, eccurren-
ces, and whole scene produce on my mind, that
have deemed it proper dvulge the secrets there
revealed until coolly reflected on them for several
days at least. From my earliest infancy have been

Of seventeen, once devoted a whole summer to the
st udy of writers on Metaphysics. Steward, Reid,
Hartley, Hume, Mallebranche, Des Cartes, Kant,
and all the old and younger writers the subject
have carefully studied many years age. The pheno-
mena OF magnetism, animal, mental, or physical, is
a great modern discovery, which will soon create
revolution in all science and all art Since the dis
covery of Cook and Davenport, have acquired more
clear ideas the nature OF mind and oil its elements
than ever had before. The experiment made on Mrs.
