tion of scientific men, with this additional
advantage to the public, thatno such CON-
plete opportunity has ever before been af-
forded to the spirituaists; that no such
congregation Of 'test-mediums' has ever be-
fore been had, that no more competent per-
sons have ever before examined the whole
subject or who could have given to it more
patience or candid attention, or who have
spent upon it so much time, or who could
have been more actuated by the sole de-
sire to discover what could or what could
not be done. That there will be certain
class of minds to which their report will
neither afford satisfaction nor bring con-
viction we can easily anticipate. But
even these will eventually learn that science
is a substantial thing, not to be triaed

The Coin which Betrayed Christ.

The editor of the New York Courier
and Enquirer. has been shown by the con-
ductor of the Bank Note List and Insu-
rance Reporter q silver coin, which is a
perfect fac sinaiIe of the Shekel of the
Sanctuary, or "piece of silver" thirty of
which were paid to Judas for the betrayal
of Christ. 1t was considered a peculiar
piece by the Israelites, and was always
spoken of in their Holy Books as the
Shekel of Israel, or Holy Shekel of the
sanctuary. 1t was the amount which
each Israelites between the ages of 30 aud
SO. was required to pay into the public
treasury as ransom for their delivery,
during their sojourn in the wilderness.
According to the British currency, a
shekel was worth two shillings, three pence,
three farthings-equal to about fifty cents
of our money. The coin is somewhat
larger than an American half dollar and
is edged On one side it bears the en-
blem of Aaron's rod, as mentioned in
Numbers, XVII, s, surrounded with the
inscription in Hebrew characters, "Jeru-
salem the Holy" and on the reverse is a
representation of the Pot of Incense
full account of which is given in Levitt
Gus, XI-with the words, "Shekel of Is
rael" The cast from which this coin
was struck. was taken from an original
specimen in the Vatican at Rome, very
rare, and indeed, claimed to be one of the
identical pieces paid to Judas. Mr..
Mr.. Nicholas has caused few to be struck
off in pure silver, and also large number
of cheaper material, for the qualification
of the curious.

The Fremont Land Case.

The Supreme Court decided number
Of cases, some of'which are elaboratcly pre-
pared and of very great Importance. The
case of the Merced Mining Company as.
.Jokn C, Fremont and Others, decided by
a majoity Of the Court, settles definitely
,he right of the Mereed Company to pros
ecntc their mining operations on the Ere
mont grant, by perretuating the inj.nc-
ton against the defendants. The impor-
tance ofsthis case is evidenced in the fact
that improvements amounting to upwards
of 100000 have been made upon the
property. The decision is rendered by
Mr.. Justice Barnet-Mr. Justice Terry
concurring. Chief Justice Murray dis
sents in seperate opinion. The majority
of the Court expressing no opinion upon
the point whe. her the minerals in the soil
of California belong to the State or to the
United States, hold that the license gran.
ted to work those laads, whether it be
tacit or express, confers certain rights up
on the occupants, which viii enable then
to sue. Although the right to enjoit
trespassers was once questioned, it is nov
conceded, and as the value of those lands
consists in the gold contained in them, tc
remove that gold isto work an irreparablt
injury to the occupant. Hence, an injunc
ton to restrain the removing of gold wa
perfectly proper Upon this the Chic
Justice bases his disagreement. He doe
not consider the injury of such an irrepar
able character as TO bring it within th
scope of the rule laid down in the author
tiles as well as 10y the Supreme Court il
previous casc.--Sacramento Union

The Boston Spiritual Investigation.


The experiments which have been in
progress at Boston, based upon the offer
of $500, made by the Courier, to test the
truth of "spiritualism, terminated an Sat-
urday last in the complete failure of the
mediums" as was generally anticipated.
Although the best operators from various
parts of the country were employed, no
phenomena were manifested or even at
tempted; for the very apparent reason, as
the Courier remarks that they were over
looked by men of intelligence, education,
observation, experience and integrity
The only thing resembling manifestations
was certain indistlnct ''rapsn produced by
the Fox girls, and evidently made about
their persons as was admitted by DIR. Gar
diner; the piritualist-in-chief. The Fox
es, disgusted with the incredulity of the
investigating committee, retired, and nev-
er appeared again The whole affair re-
suited in the complete exposure of this
greatest of humbugs, q report of which
will soon be published by the committee
Whenever the report appears, says the
