Becoming a Medium.

The fascinating spiritual rappings is with
out doubt gaining strength among US, and
some very ludicrous incidents often grow out
of it at times, as well as more serious and
deplorable ones.
A few nights since. within this week, a
young male friend Of ours, who from sneer-
ing skeptic, had become 4 devout believer
retiring to rest, after having his nervous
system partially destroyed with the informa-
ton through the spirit Of his grandfather,
that he would become powerful medium.
He was in his first comfortable snooze. when
a clicking noise in the direction Of the door
awoke him. He listened intently; the noise
was still going on-very like the raps of the
spirit ON the table. indeed.

There was no answer, and the noise stopp-

"It must have been spirit" he said to
himself 1T must be medium. I'll try
i Aloud. If there is spirit in the room
it will signify the same by saying aye
no that's not what | mean. If there is a
spirit in the room, it will please to rap three
tlmes.'
Three very distinct raps were given in
the direction of the bureau.
'Is it the spirit Of my sister,"
No answer.

Three taps.

Nine taps.
"Do you want anything!"
A succession of very loud raps
"Will you give me communication if
get up?'
No answer.
"Shall l hear from you tomorrow"
Raps very loud again, in the direction Of
the door. He waited long for an answer to
his last question, out none came. The spir.
it had gone; and after thinking on the ex.
traordinary visit he turned over and fell
asleep.
On getting up in the morning he found
that the spirit of bis mother had carried Of
his watch and purse, his pants Down into the
hall, and his coat off altogether.

ARKANSAS WEDNESDAY, MARCH g 1853.

In 1923 he obtained his release, but was
warned not to reside in Berlin or Branden-
burg. His friends all perished suddenly
and left him to wander about in great mise
ry until 1882, when he determined to 20
to Paris. He reached Paris after numerous
adventures, in May, 1888 There he was
presented to a Nine dc Ramband, who had
been about the Dauphin from his birth uu-
til 1892, and to ~ and NJ me Marc de St.
IIilaire, who had also known the Dauph:n
as child Mime Ramband recognized
some peculiar marks upon his body. The
st. Hilaires were convinced BY the correct
answers he made to questions put to try him.
All these became warm partisans of the long
lost king. The Legitimists, as a party,
would have nothing to say to him.
NJ de Bremont, however, who had been
the private secretary of Louis XVI from
1888 to 1892, recognized him as Louis
XVII; so did NJ. de Jolly, ono Of the last
Ministers of Louis XVI; 50 did the old ma
son of the Temple. Joseph Paulin who was
active in all the attempts made in favor of
the royal family at the time Of their impris-
onment. The French Government took no
judicial steps against Naundorf, but avoided
all his attempts to bring his case before
court. When, in 1886, a trial seemed un-
avoidable, they ordered him out Of the coun-
try. He went to London, found adherents
there, and, as usual, attempts were made to
kill him. At last he went to Belt. where
he died on the 10Th of August. 1S45. lie
left two sons and two daughters His face
was thoroughly Bourbon, and his demeanor
simple and dignifed His mental powers
do not appear to have surpassed mediocrity
This Naundorf story is fortified in de Ia
Barres book by Il mass of documents, which
prove that Louis XVII. did not die in the
Temple, and that Naundorff was really the
prince. But where is the proof that these
documents are genuine? There must be
many persons still living in Europe. whose
testimony would help to settle this question,
if one only could get at them. and make them
speak out.

boyhood by Frenchman named Boulanger.

1t has been truly observed that this is the
most important matter which has lately oc-
cupied our national council, and which the
people think ought to have occupied it long
before They have believed for years past
that the extravagant appropriations for the
navy, army and Notifications, particularly in
time Of peace, could have been much better
expended in the improvement Of rivers, har-
bors, and national roads, and particularly
the great one to the Pacific ocean, which
might and ought to have been nearly finish
ed at this time. And tits believed BY many
that the money needlessly expended as
above, would have nearly effected this uni
versally popular object will now take up
the four plans which have been before Con-
gress. and attempt to show that they are ali
selfish svindling monopolies.
Asa Whitney attempted to swindle the
nation by extending the railroad line along
the westerly side Of Lake Michigan to She

he could of the good land. He asked Con-
grcss to give him alternate sections Of sixty
miles along the entire route to the Pacific.
Many believed this work would stop as soon
as he bad grabbed all the good land at tie
easterly end Of the route The whole line
was too far north to be of much value, if ev-
or made, and it has now vanished into thin
air. The stupendous visionary plans Of
Colonel Benton lowered 50 high, and with
such unwieldly branches, that the main
trunk gave way before the branches were
half grown. His object was to make Saint
Louis the emporium Of the Union, and self
ish in the extreme His route was too far
north for the main trunk to flourish, even
without the unnatural branches. Senator
Gwinn appears to think that if San Francis
co il taken special care Of and made the
terminating point, then the more branches
the better Like Col. Benton, his branches
are too numerous and lofty to be sustained
by the main trunk, But he shows good
sense when he inclines his route southwark.
