Spiritual Mediums.--A singular trial is going
on in the town of New Berlin, Chenango co.,
New York. 1t seems that two spirit-rappers,
or mediums settled in the town, and offered
their services in transmitting dispatches to and
from the spirit world. A gentleman who sought
their good Offices in company with several 9TH
ers, required to be told of the condition of his
deceased paternal ancestor, and the answer was
given that his father was quite happy in the
sphere beyond, and felt no regret at parting
with the outer world; for in his mundane ex.
istence he had suffered cruel treatment at the
hands of his son, Ohe questioner) who had
beaten and chained HIM, and practsed other af-
ficting indignities upon him. The gentleman
denied the impeachment, declared himself SLAM
dered, and sought redress at the hands of the
courts, by bringing an action for libel against
the offending mediums. The case is still pend
ing; but the Chenango Telegraph says there
are reports that the testimony elected at the
primary examination rather tended to confirm
the offensive dispatch. The mediums were held
to bail to answer the charge of libel :,

form to the tariff regulations of the CUSTOM

terest to every American, has peculiar value
| at the present moment, when some gentlemen
so studlonslv endtavor to misrcpresent the set

Mr.. Washington TO the Earlo Buchan.
PH1LAD, April %, 1893.
"My Lord,-The favorable wishes which
your Lordship has expressed for the prosperity
of this young and rising country, cannot but
be gratefully received by all citizens, and every
lover Of it; one mean to the contribution of
which and its happiness, isvery judiciously por-
| trayed in the following words of your letter,
"to be little heard of in the great ,corld Of polics.
These words, can assure your Lordship, are
expressive of my sentiments on this head, and
believe it is the sincere wish of United Ameri-
ca to HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE POLITICAL
INTRIGUEs OR THE sQUABBLEs OF EUROPEAN
NATIONS, but on the contrary, to exchange COM
modities, and live in peace and amity, with all
the inhabitants of the earth and this am per-
suaded they will do, if rightfully it can be
DONE To administer justice to, and receive it
from every Power they are connected with, will,
hope, be always found the most prominent
feature in the administration of this country;
and fatter myself that nothing short impe-
rious necessity can occasion breach with any
of them, Under such system, if we are al
lowed to pursue it, the agricultural and me-
chanical arts, the wealth and population of these
States, will increase with that degree of rapidi-
ty as to battle all calculation, and must surpass
any idea your Lordship can hitherto have enter
tanned on the occasion To eyinca that Our
views, whether realized or not, are expanded,
take the liberty of sending you the plan of a
new city, situated about the centre of the Union
permanent seat of the government; and we are,
at this moment, deeply engaged and far advan-
ced in extending the inland navigation of the
river Potomac, on which it stands, and the BRAN
ches thereof, through tract Of as rich country
stance of attempts of the kind, although it is
the only one which is near completion, and in
partial use. Several other very important ones
are commenced; and little doubt is entertained
that, in ten years, # left undisturbed, we shall
open communication by water, with all the
lakes northward and westward of us, with
which we have territorial connections; and an
inland, in few years more, from Rhode Island
to Georgia, inclusive'y partly, by cuts between
the great bays and sounds, and partly, between
the islands and sand banks and the main from
Albermarle Sound, to the river St. Mary's. To
these may also be added, the erection of bridges
over considerable rivers, and the commence
ment of turnpike roads, as further indications
of the improvement in hand"
We commend this patriotic epistle to "inter-
ventionists," in and out of Congress.

they anticipated, while their expenses will be q
