conduct the spiritual test in Boston, have
published statement that none of the con
ditions named were fulfilled by the mediums,
and that the award, therefore, has not been
earned. The spritualists will make state
ment in reply. They all agree that the trial
was not fair one, and that the conditions
have been violated. We had better test OF
spiritualism than any Boston experiment
could afford. When the son of Henry Clay
took the stump for James Buchanan, and
the spirit of his great father did not rise

there was no passing back from the next
