EEOlying Tables.

We have recently seen this eX-
pertinent Which has excited uiliyer-
sill wondelm4 mt and been the subject
Of innumerable newspaper para
graphs, tried wi tn complete Success
several times. On each occasion a
half dozen ladies and gen lemen sat
around a 81 nall table, placing the
palms, Of the il hands lightly upon it
SO as 10 touch one another. Converse
ton and IN rriment may be continu ed,
care only being taken not to remove
the hands frpm the table. After sit
ting in this banner for % to 30 min
utes, the table will begin to revd I've
horizontally, very slowly at first. but
on the persons rising and still touch
ING it with their hands, it will move
as rapidly they can keep up with
it. Although connected with the
miscaievou5 delusions, Spiritual
Rappings, we do not believe there IS
anything supernatural about the
performance 1t is probably, rs sug-
gested BY others, merely g new de-
yelopment of that mysterious agent
which perV Vades all nat tule, electrlcI-
ty. Or, possibly the m9 9ti0n is caused
by the imperceptible action of the
muscles of the hand. Whatever ex-
lanation may be given, however, the
tables certainly revolved, and aPHar-
emily witho out the applications Of phys
ical force; but the phenomenon IS
not more wonderful than Il hundred
facts exhibited by lectures on mag
netism or electricity. This expert
ment is interesting, and we advise all
who arc curious. to try ii for them
selves.

What | Would Do.

If l had rover Ger heaven and earth,
And they would bow to me,
l wo lid not bid the valleys rise,
\ Or mountains lower be;
l wo hld not make the oceans bed
A rich and fertile plain;
Nor make one SPOT that God has cursed
In plenty smile again
l would not make the fields produce,
Where men neglect to plough:
Nor d4ess the earth in lovelier rcbes,
Than God has dressed it now.
The IAeat and cold, the wind and rain,
Shoh hld come the same as now;
The mighty oak before the storm
Should still in weakness bow.
would not brook the lions will
Nor in his capture aid;
would ot change one natural law
That God has wisely made;
But gently touch the heart Of man.
Once pure as saints above,
And make the Demon in his soul
Give place 10 Peace and Love.

from DR.. Land, who says "hls claim

goes far TO sustain him, short Of

mote cities in less time than il

the day is not far distant when the
editor Of the Enquirer can sit III
his sanctum at Memphis and utter
words of which the sounds thereof
can be delivered in New Orleans IN
less time than lie can write a dozen

ENTERPRISE We have heard of
persons going to California with q
wheelbarrow and hand carts, but yes
terday saw something new in the
shape of a small, stout wagon, bear
ing about 400 weight, to which two
dogs were attached. The proprietor
ofthe dog-team was from down east
and bound for the land of gold. lie
expects to perlorm the whole jour
ney with his dogs, and to be able to
reach Marysville by the middle of
September. Who but a Yankee
would have dreamed of this e xpedi-
