SEcEsSIoS OF SPlRIrUALIsr-The Spring
held Republican, in an article upon .srnanifes.
tations and ''phenomena," SAYS:
Perhaps the nlSst serious blow that spiritu.
alism has received is the detection of Rev.
L. Harris, lately the inspired poet of the new
movement in this country, now q Swedenbor-
gian minister, and at present lecturing against
spiritualism in England. He does not DENY
the fact of possession Of spirits, but thinks they
are spirits Of a low order both in intellect and
virtue; that they are Of the same class with
the demons spoken of in the New Testament,
and that they pass themselves for the spirits of
the friends Of those consulting them, or of dis
tinguished men, in order the better to deceive
and accomplish their destructive purposes
The effect Of this possession Mr. III. says he
has felt in his own mind and person, and he
describes il as most fearful. Only a few years
ago it had such hold of him that it gave fixed
rigidity to his muscles and terrible unearth-
iy expression to his countensnce. He had
known many excellent and smiabie persons
under this influence to have their energies
crushed, lose their appetites, be deprived of
sleep. find their self-control destroyed, and
their bodies wasting away and their minds en-
feebled, as if under some fell disease. Mr. II
gives a shocking account Of the moral inau-
ence of the doctrine he has just abandoned
and we have no doubt he greatly exaggerates
il, with the zeal natural to a new convert"

MELANCHOLY FATE.-Some three years ago
Typographical engineer in the Russian ser
vice, but Prussian by birth, becoming in
yolved in some difficulty with the Government,
fed to New York with his wife and one child,
saving also about So, ZOO Of his fortune. His
name was Schultz. p, if our informant rec
ollects correctly. He has spent the Intervening
time and his entire property in perfecting an
Improvement upon the steam engine, and Sc.
curing and American an English patent for il.
1t was at last completed, and about a fortnight
ago the first machine was put up at paper mil
in West Cummington. Hampshire county. 1t
worked like charm, and on Friday thehappy
inventor wrote to his wife, exultins in the pros
pect of speedy and abundant reward for his
long labors, and promising to return to her on
Monday: On Saturday evening he went to the
mill to observe the working of the machinery,
and while suggesting some slight change, he
stepped upon belt, was at once drawn under a
large cylinder and instantly crush I'd to death.
The body was recovered as soon as possible,
and on MOnday-placed in plain coffin and
accompanied by single machinist, who had
learned to be his friend while assisting him in
putting up his engine-all that remained of
him who expected to return in the triumph of
successful genius to his family, was on its way
to New Iork.-PttsfeId Eagte

LAYING AN EXECUTION AT FUNERAL.-The
Springfield (Ill Journal of Wednesday says:
A funeral procession was stopped on Adams
street, not far from the American House, yes
terday, by Constable David Crouch of Roches-
ter The particulars, as given to US by man
who is generally correct in his statements, are
as follows: Crouch had an execution against a
man who owned couple of horses; the horses
were sold before Crouch had a chance to levy
upon them; but he saw one of them in the pro-
cession, and determined to take charge of it.
The driver, not knowing that Crouch was an
officer, was not disposed to relinquish posses
sion Of the horse, and Crouch is said to have
declared that he would have the animal, by
fair means or foul. He drew knife and made
violent threats, and the procession was thrown
into great confusion. His attempt to get pos
session OF the horse was unsuccessful, for during
the melee the driver of the animal escaped.

The Turkish Sultan.

Ireurika Bremen, in recent magazine ar
ucie, thus describes the Turkish Sultan
"A iittie man in dark coat, dark red cap
with long black tassel on his head and n
pale, unpleasing countenance, comes down the
steps with as little dignity as shopman. Can
that really be the Sultan? Yes, it must be
the sultan: because the elderly military per-
sonages by his side reply with an expression of
deep reverence to some remarks of the little
man: and the stout lady with the children steps
nastiiy forward into his path, as if she would
stop his further advance. He starts, makes
half step backward, and contracts his eyebrows
most threateningly. Yet he listens to what
sne has to say, but listens with a gloomy ex-
preston, and then casts an inquiring glance on
bis brother-in-law, the High Admiral. He
utters few words of explanation Struggling
his shoulders, and then another word or two

your husband motions the stout lady out of
the way, and walks on to the shore, talking
gaily with the gentlemen who attend him. He
steps into the caique, from which the canopy
has been removed; puts on his gloves, distorts
his face In looking up at the sun, and so doing
exhibits his tobacco-stained teeth; while his
plain, uninteresting countenance assumes
most disagreeable expression. This then, is
