"SrRIr RAPPINGs " AN OLD HtMDvG.-
Errors and delusions, as well as fashions
like comets, have an eccentric orbit; but
their periodical return may be calculated
with considerable certainty. Among the
records of the past it would not be difficult
TO find the substantial Counterpart OF The
isms SO rife in our day. A correspondent
glancing over number Of the New York
Packet of 1889, copied the following par
rsgraph as Illustrating the fact that "there
is nothing new under the SUM-" Table
dancing and spirit-rapping are old tricks.
Dupes date as far back as Satan in Eden,
and the dupes can trace their gencalogy to
Adam:
Extract of letter from a gentleman at
Fishkill, to his friend in this city, dated
March 3, 1889.
"SR,-Were l 10 relate the many extra
ordinary, though not less true, accounts
have heard concerning that unfortunate girl
at New Hackensack, your belief might per
haps be staggered, and patience tried. |
shall, therefore, only inform you of what l
have been an eyewitness 10. Last Sunday
afternoon my wife and myself went 10 Dr.,
Thorn's and after sitting some time, we
heard knocking under the feet of a young
women that lives in the family. asked
The Doctor what occasioned the noise he
could not tell, but replied that he, together
with several others, had examined the house,
but were unable 10 discover the cause.
then took a candle and went with the girl
into the cellar. There the knocking con-
tinued but as we were ascending the stairs
to return, | heard prodigious rapping on
each side, which alarmed me very much.
l stood still some time looking around with
amazement, when beheld some lumber
which lay at the head of the stairs shake
considerably. About or 10 days after We
visited tho girl again. The knocking still
continued, but was much louder. Our Gu
riosity indGcd us 10 pay the third visit, when
the phenomena were still more alarming.
then saw the chairs move a large dining
table was thrown against me, and q small
stand, on which stood candle, was tossed
up and thrown in my wite's lap; after which
we lrft the house, much SnrPrised at what
we had seer"

By the schooner Crccper, via Honolulu,
we learn that the precious metal has been
at last discovered in the above British COL
onY.
Auckland, the nothern capital of the
country, has the advantage Of two ports
on the Waitemata river on the east, and on
the Manukau river on the west coast. II
is on the hills OF the latter harbor that gold
has been discovered. The two parts are dis
tant in direct line about three miles from
each other. The waters Of each closely Join.
Auckland lies in similar latitude south as
San Francisco in the north.
New. ZsaleEG comprises three isfauts,
running northeast aud southwest, and are
about 900 miles long, with scarcely an aver
age bradlh OF 100 miles. The climate Is
not surpassed. There are six different Brit
ish settlements, each having Lieutenant
Governor and council. Four of the settle
ments were founded by the elite OF British
society, the constitution of the colony hav-
ing guaranteed that the transportation OF con
vicls should not be extended 10 these Islands
In England, New Zealand is known as the
Britain of the south. The native popula-
lion number about 10000 and are Of the
highest order of lhe-Malay type, being war
like and extremely intelligent, learning the
arts of civilized life with great facility. In
person, they equal the best formed Of their
race. In commerce, they are extremely
shrewd. They make excellent seamen, and
possess small commercial marine of schoon-
ers ETC., commanded by themselves, that
traverse the waters of the Islands, through
out their extent the country possessing up
ward of 5000 miles Of water frontage.
The Creeper had laid on for Port Philip,
and had already obtained full complement
ofpassengers, when the discovery Of gold at
Manukau induced them TO leave for new
placers. The troops which had been sent
for by the Governor General of Autralia,
we're also withheld, as their presence was
likely 10 be wanted. -.....
New Zealand is distant about 1900 miles
from Australia. The settlements comprise
Auckland founded by the government in
1s41 Port Nicholson, New Plymouth and
Nelson, each founded by the New Zealand
Company, society of noblemen and gen.
tlemen, and intended as homes for their
children Otago, founded by Scottish soci-
ETY.; Canterbury, by an association Of gen
tlemen, headed by The Archbishop of Can
lerbury. m.
The origin of New Zealand was volcanic,
numerous active volcanoes being found in
the northern island. The soil is extremely
prolific, and the country most abundantly
watered throughout the year. The seas
abound in fish, and the shores in shell6sh,
and in the season, are resoIted to by the
black whale, and off-shore by the sperm
whale. ---lSan Francisco Herald.
