Spiritual Manifestations.

The Lynn News tells the following ofthe
incredulous young man, whose father had
promised, before death, to hold, spiritual
communication" with him:
The spirtit of the old gentleman, (who,
by the way, was somewhat severe in mat
ters of discipline, was called up, and held
some conversation with the boy. But the
messages were not at all convincing, and
the youth would not believe that his father
had anything to do with them.
"Wen," said the medium, "what can
your father do to remove your doubts?''
eff he will perform some act which is
characteristic of him, and without any di-
rection as to what it shall be, will believe
in it.
every we'll" said the medium; we wait
some manifestations from the spirit land"
This was no sooner said, than as the
story goes, a table walked uptoth the youth,
and without much ceremony kicked him
out ofMe room!

ed youth. "That's the old man! believe

DICKENS DRAWN ON THE JURT-Char-
les Dickens has just had public compli-
ment paid him by Lord Campbell, Chief
Justice of England: They were trying
cases in the court of Queens Bench, and
Charles Dickens was called on the list of
special Jurors. When he did not answer
to his name Lord Campbell said-If this il
lustrious author were still engaged in the
great chancery suit in ''Bleak House," 1
could have excused his absence; but as
"Jarndyce and Jarndyce" is ended, con-
fess | should have been glad to have had
Mr.. Dickens here, in order that he might
see how we get On at common law" The
result was fine of E2O, to be paid by Mr.
Dickens for non attendance.

INGENIOUS METHOD FOR DETECTING AN
UNFA1THFUL HUsBAND.-A novel case of
adultry was before our police court short
time since, in which the wife of John Ben
nett, formerly of Exeter, N. H., resorted
to the same course unveiling her husband S
falsity that was used upon one of old-she
plowed with his heifer. John had yielded
to the weakness of his nature, and became
enamored with Miss, whom he took
to Haverhill, to spend the Sabbath with
the cold folks" at home, passing as their
son in-law, showing forged marriage
certificate. His watchful wife, understand
ing the matter, took occasion to inform him
that she was knowing to the facts, when he
knocked her down, and upon complaint
was lodged in jail for thirty days. While
he was in prison the shrewdness of his
wife manifesteditself. Dressing herselfin
male attire, she visited her as an attendant
at the Jail, sent by Mr.. B., saying he was
afraid the presents he had given her might
be used against him if he should be tried
for adultry, and requested that she should
let his friend, the bearer, take charge of
them, which was accordingly done, and
they were handed over. Before leaving
and after some remarks about the jealous
wife, this assumed Jail waiter said Mr.. B.
requested him to bring kiss from her,
which she consented to give and wished to
send thousand by the same bearer. The
visit was repeated several times, and the
girl was completely blinded, until the facts
cover that she had been completely sold.-

YOU'VE AMER1cA.-We learn from a
gentleman who arrived from Indianapolis
yesterday, that on Thursday, while the
Lafayette passenger cars were at "a station,
fifty miles this side of the latter place,
boy about ten years ofage; was found seat
ed on one of the breaks underneath the
body of the car, and within few inches
of the ground, where he had safely travel
ed from Lafayette. Compelled to leave
his hiding place, one of the passengers
paid his passage for the remainder of the
way to indianapolis. Tie coura geous
youth had but two cents in his pocket,
and having desire to visit the Capital of
Indiana, resorted to this dangerous mode
ofpassage as the only way he could get
through Gin. Gazette. -.z-- Jsan

The other day New York Herald was

MOVEMENT FOR THE INDEPENDENCE OF
IRELAND.-The New York Express men
tions rumor, but places very little reliance
on it, that the Irish exiles in that city have
had secret conference lately, at which
they resolved to organize central direc-
tory with subordinate societies co-opera-
ting in other portion of the Union, forthe
purpose of turning the approaching Euro
pean war to account tor Irish Indepen-
dence. Measures were adopted, which,
ifcarried out, are likely to give Great Bri-
tain employment for her soldiers, nearer
home than Turkey. Ireland is to be the
scene of operations. Further, the "sin-
ews" of war are to come from the funds
that were subscribed for Ireland in 1849,
some $40, 900 in ALL Also, that a distin-
guished editor-an Irish exile--is at the
head of the movement-and that another
distinguished exile--now in California
has gone thither expressly to arrange mat
ters with a view to further the purpose in
view.

REDUCED TO PovERrf-A spon-
dent Of Literary Gazette writes from Dres-
den: CA few days ago Herr
sitting in his room in Ratisbon, when he
was reused by knock at his door; upon
opening it he found an old woman, bent
down with age and sickness, imploring
aims, and upon inquiry he found that she
was the daughter of Schikaneder, the
companion and favorite of the great Moz-
art, but whom misfortune after misfortune
had reduced to the lowest grade ofpover-
ty and distress, till at last, at seventy -four
years fage, she was obliged to wander
forth into the streets and sne for charity
for herself and for her husband, who,
seventy seven years old, lay at home bed
ridden and stricken by an incurable di-
sease.''

Representative of Russia on Train.

Representative of Russia on Train.
That story of M. Bodisco, the Russian
narrated the other day in the AL
bany Evening Journal, and since copied
into the Washington Union, is one of the
richest bits of gossip that has appeared
this season. 1t seems that when the min
lister was on his wedding tour, some years
ago, one of his suit undertook to cane
person employed on the Rochester and
Syracuse Railroad, and would have re-
ccived an acquitance in fullunder the hand
of the assaulted party, had he not appeal
ed to M. Bodisco. That parsonage was
informed by the conductor that the train
could not proceed until an apology had
been made for the outrage. The remain
der of the story we copy from the Union:
"The minister smiled. Apologize! Did,
monsieur lie conducteur' know whom he
was addressing? 1t was Mr.. Alexander
Bodisco, ambassador of the Emperor of
Russia
"Mr. Smith coolly replied, that if he
was the Emperor of Russia himself, he
was entitled to an apology.
'sTerrible oaths were sworn at the con-
ductor, the railroad, the company, the
everybody! But as they were all in
Russian, they did not hurt anybody.
II order this train to go on'' said the
envoy extraordinary and minister plenipo-

The passengers stared. Bystanders wink

opened their eyes wide at the man with

crazy. But the train did not bulge an

Il order this train to go on!'' repeated
M. Bodisco, bringing his cane vehement
| ly down on the platform, by way of EN-
phasis. No result. The smoke culrled
lazily up from the locomotive, and the
fireman and engineer leaned back on the
wood pile to enjoy the fun.

ness of earth receiving the genial infuen-
ces from the sun. She is, however, some-
times made to represent the moon; her i'm
age is often seen upon the temple, where
she is represented sometimes as woman
with cows ears; sometimes as a spotted
heifer; and sometimes as human figure
with the head Of hawk.
To her the beautiful temple of Dendera

TLORUs.
This God was the offspring of Osiris
and Isis, he seems sometimes to signify
night; at another time, he is said to have
become an enemy Of his father and to
have murdered him. The probable mean
ing of this is that the darkness of the
night conquered the light and heat of the
sun.
Thus it will be seen that the great pow
ers of nature were represented in the re-
ligious rites, ceremonies, funerals, and
mysterious science of the early Egyptians
besides these, there were many inferior
dieties who received divine honors in local
districts of Egypt. These demi-gods
were living or inanimate objects in which
the Deity became incarnate.
THE CROCODILE AND THE RIVER.
AS the annual overfowing of the Nile,
was the source OF all their wealth they
regarded it as a peculiar favor of the de-
ity.
They knew not the cause of the inun-
dation, but seeing at times this monstrous
animal tossing and sporting himself in
the swelling tide they supposed, him to be
the occasion of the rise of waters and the
consequent fertility of the land. For this
reason the Crocodile called by the Israel
ties, dragon was declared god, was en-
balmed and placed in the temple and
there received divine honors.
- ft.s THE SACRED OK.
In the vicinity of Memphis for the same
reason was adored, that animal was
here first used to plow the soil and in
crease the fertility Of the earth, for this
good service the Sacred Bull was KEEP
with care in the temple and adored with
many ceremonies at first significant and
impressive but ultimately senseless ano
unmeaning.
THE CAT, THE SERPENT, THE sToRK.
In some regions mice invaded the lane
and destroyed the fruit, but the cat de-
voured the mice, therefore she was sa.
cred animal.
The cat was also dei6ed for having de-
liYered Sesostris from the fire.
In some districts the serpent dovoured
the mice, for which service it was detf1et
as the emblem cunning and utility
In some places serpents, vipers, asps
were very abundant, very poisnous, anc
very hurtful, hence the divinity of thu
Stork
| In all this it will be seen that the me
dunn or the source of good was the oh
ject of their alteration.
The emblem of the winged globe will
living creatures over the doorway of th,
ancient temples was of deep significance
Perhaps the idea conveyed by it was no
far from the following, the globe signife
eternity without beginning or end, tn,
wings implies the flight of time, and tn,
whole figure: Remember mortal as yol
enter the temple that the wings Of tim
bear all living beings on to Eternity. .
