re.popdept. whose meat and drink, like shat of The
Ner.Era seems to be what is new, without nquiring
ubeherit i. also true or reasonable. This writer as
sumes TO reprove Us for not submitting at once to
every absurdity that any crack Drained or brainess
individual may choose to array with the claims OF
novelty. We quote:
"In anv other paper 1t would have passed unno-

to dream Of crossing the ocean in 10 days WITHOUT
sails or of sendipg me sage thousand miles IN SO
many Seconds and he who would now dispute these
things would be more insane-more to be pitied or
laughed at--than the widest dreamer out.
As for the argument of this writer we will leave 1t
untouched, in his own powerful statement just as We
have done with his spelling and punctuation. There
is one point, however which he will allow US to put
in word upon, and that is, that for full sympathy
be will have to resort to lunatic asylum. There
he can give play to his widest imaginings without
any body to check the flow of his inspiration bya
single word of sense, which is what he seems to
desire But when there let beg him not to try to
discover who writes the articles Of The TRIBUNE Ia
question he puts in postcript, for he can never
know. Ii is a mystery that even his "wldcst i'm
aginipgs can't penetrate, and all his guesses will
only be so many mistakes. Besides, If he wants to
know the real truth on that matter, why doesn't no
consult tho ghosts They know everything and
always tell the exact truth
We co@cudethis summary of ghostly Intelligence
with the stat, What happened in the family OF
Moses w. Newconib, " I thorough spirituast," at
Clay, n. Y. lie takes some sp.gitua aui some p0-
ltca newspapers among the lattes fAe A6aay ALias.
About hundred Of all kinds were cast into q box,
and .he other day it discovered that the mice had
been in it, and strange to say they had left the ghost
seeing papers whole, but had eaten up those devoted
10 politics. What reason ,ided the mice In this dis-
elimination is not stated by tho spirits but We can
easily believe they had hard choice between eating
the humping stories Of tho spirituasts and the gall
and vitriol of The Alias. What dreadful sortures
must have attended the death of those nice after such
a banquet!
