A CuAscg FOR THE SPIRrruALIsTS-Th Bos-
ton Post gives the following practical turn to
spiritual controversy: ave offer reward of
five dollars day to any rappers who will not
move the table in our dining room, but cover it
with dinner for five persons at o'clock, P. NJ,
each day in the week, and then quietly withdraw
while we and our interesting family devour it

a few months ago, when he was beaten for s.

Forney Inns been very sullen of late because,
frst, that he was not elected Senator, and be-
cause second, the President didn't give him
seat in the Cabinet first class mission abroad.
So Fornev being determined that the world
shant forget him no odds how much it may want
