RICHMOND, Oct. 25, 1919.

The following are The occurrences at Mr. DE
Bonneville's last public exhibition Of Mesmerism
in Richmond, which impressed themselves on my
mind al the time, and are now retained in my
recollection. ! have never required TO them since
with any effort 10 recall them, and as much noise
and confusion prevailed during The evening,
doub, not that much occurred which has escaped
me:
The objects to be presented 10 the C'a,rrovantc
having been selected by the committee in It's re-
tiremen,, Mr. De BIS bandage Consisting oc
The nose, and which, by the Printed Directions for
the exhibition, could alone be used) was applied
10 The eyes Of Mr.. Peake, one OF the committee,
in the manner stated and with the results stated
by DR.. Warner, with this exception, that do not
reeo!leci that Mr. De b. himself adjusted The BAN
dage, although he was Immediately present, and
made no objection 10 the manner in which il was
applied. The bandage was re.adlusled several
times on Mr. Peake's face, and always with The
same results Or. Warner, selected by tie audi
ence according 10 the Printed Directions, then
made an addition TO the bandage, as il Stood on
Mr.. P.'s face, with the help OF cambria hand
kerchief, which Mr.. P said efiectually excluded
the light. | then announced 10 the audience, as
one Of the committee, the opinion that the BAN
daee of Mr. De B. was insufficient, by ITSELF 10
exclude the light from the eyes of an adult, with
a face formed like Mr. P.'s A son of DIR. Gull
len. bow about the age of the little girl who is
the subject Of Mr.. De BIS exhibition was then
produced on the stage, and The same bandase was
applied in the manner and with all the results
stated by DR.. Warner, except that do not recol-
lect lhat.Mr. De B. participated in the appica-
ton of the bandage, and my impression is. that
BY the Printed Directions Mr. De B. was 10 have
no part in the application. Mr.. De B., at no
time that recollsct, objected to the mode OF ap-
plicalon Aller The boy had, with the bandage
on his eyes distinguished and explained various
objects presented 10 him, (among others, The imam
on horseback" and the Charleston Bank Note, :.
mentioned by Dr.. Warner, neither Of which, |
