A FoE EIGNER ON THE STUMP FOR THE
KNOW NoTHINGs.-At Clarksburg. Va,
recently, when Mr.. Wise was expected to
speak, but from some cause or other did not,
Mr.. Price. aD unnaturalized Welshman,
delivered a discourse in favor of American
ism and the dangers of Ca;holicity. The
American Organ, from which we derive our
information. says ''he warned the American
people to guard their civil and religious lib
critics with more vigilance. or, before they
were aware of their danger, secret Jesuitical
schemes of the Roman hierarchy would en-
velop them in social and political anarchy.
Many unquestionable historical facts were
brought before the people by Mr. Price in
an interesting way. He closed amid the
shouts of the people, whilst the Clarksburg
brass band moved off slowly playing that
significant tune, Hail Columbia" bearing
Mr. Price in triumph through the crowd y

SPIRITUALIsM.-A San Francisco editor

SPIRITUALIsM-AS San Francisco editor,
+. c. Ever, recently prepared fictitious
sketch describing the sensations of dying
man. He, as the best mode of overcoming
all difficulties involved in such revelations,
made the hero describe his death from the
spiritual world. The author was recently
surprised to find that Judge Edmonds had
used his fictitious narrative as the pro.
duction of yeritabe spirit. and the Judge
wrote to the author to acquaint him with
the fact that he had had several spiritual in.
terviews with the defunct hero, who ney.
er had any existence except in Mr.. Ewer's
brain. Mr.. Ewer's letter is rather an anu
sing proof of the exceeding credulity of the
Judge, ard the ludicrous absurdities in
which some of the professed Spirituaist:
involve themselves, by taking leave of com.
mon sense, and ignoring the well establish.
ed moral and physical laws of the universe

A Curious M1ssIoN-Mr. Soule, in one
Of his letters to the State department, makes
some singular disclosures. He says that
Louis Napoleon, before his celebrated coup
d'etat, which placed him at the head of an
empire, had concocted with Gen. Narvaez,
the Spanish Minister. the plan Of a mission
to the United States. to sound how far this
country was vulnerable in a military point
of view A secret agent was to be sent
with instructions prepared by the Depart
ment Of Foreign Affairs. These instruc-
tions, duly signed, were presented to Napo-
leon Bonaparte, the son of Jerome, with a
tender of what amount of money he might
require to carry them out. The latter re-
fused, telling Louis Napoleon that he was
not the man for such work; that he was
Democrat, and would rather be with the
United States than with him The matter
was dropped, and has not been resumed
since, at least to the knowledge of Mr. Sou
les informant. Mr. Soule himself appears
to have full faith in the statement
