The Davenport Bows.

These swindlers are practicing their tricks
will be seen by the following. which we
clip from the Cincinnati Times of last Fri
day week:
There quite an exciting time, last
evening, during the spiritual NANTES a.ions
Of the Davenport boys. Mr.. Clark. one Of
the committee selected from the audience
to examine and report as regards the fair
ness Of the operations, was placed inside
abe cabinet with the boys, although compel.
led to be tied. He had not been closeted
with them more than minute, before he
kicked at the doors, and when opened for
him, decl ,red that be caught the hands Of
one Of the boys endevoring 10 unite himself.
This annouu cement created quite noisy de-
monstration, and for while we thought
the indignant audience were abou. to kick
up general row. Numerous questions
were put to Mr. Clark by the audience
one individual asking him If he felt a coat
sleeve when he had hold of the hand He
replied in the affirmative, when the individ-
ual who officiated as major domo of the en-
tertainment endeavored to explain 10 the
audience that it was spirit hand that Mr..
c. had grasped SO eagerly, when under
men al excitement.
He did not convince many Of it, although
we saw several spiriiuaist-, or believers in
the theory. who gulped down every word
he uttered in defense Of bis mediums. Mr.
Clark boldly avowed that i, was flesh and
blood he grasped. and. if he coulc have
had the doors opened sooner, he would still
have held the hand, and convinced The aud
fence of the humbug. The tieing and IN

was equivalent to tha, produced BY a corn
stalk bddle. with a tinpan accompaniment,
and, for spirit music, was the harshest and
most discordant that could be conceived -
We thought, while listening to it, the spir-
its had sadly neglected their musical educa
ton. We have heard of the confidence
game being frequently practiced at the Me-
iodson by sharpers going in one side and
coming out of the other, but must now
confess that the Davenpor,s have eclipsed
all such ingenious disappearanees. "Vire

n~Mr. Everet,'s assertion in his last
Union speech, that the Criiten den compro

Fatal ARRAY At KOk ONO.

On Wednesday of last week. as two men
were offering some horses for sale at koko
mo, Ind, some Of the citizens suspecting
they were horse thieves undertook to arrest
them, when one Of the thieves drew re
volver and shot two men dead, when he
made his escape. He had not gone far, how
ever. before, while adjusting his saddle
which had turned, he was shot in the leg
by a citizen no had pursued him. He was
taken back to Kokomo, and lodged i'll Jail.
where he remained until next evening. when
some 200 citizens broke into the Jail. took
the prisoner out, and after giving him little
time for conversation with Minister, at l l
P. NJ. they hung him upon gallows of
scantling held together at the top by log
chains. having goods box for platform.
He was suffered to hang till A. III. next

Military Education.

Military Educatian is duty Of the State.
preservation We all admit the truth of
the maxim that in time Of peace we should
prepare for war But now, in the midst OF
war, we see how sadly we have neglected
to prepare for it, and how dearly we pay
for our neglect.
Since the war began we have suffered
more in the want of properly educated men
and officers than in any other way. How
much has been lost by the long months con-
sumed in teaching volunteers the ordinary
duties of q private soldier? How much did
We lose in the first year for the want of off,
GERS with enough knowledge TO maneuver
their commands? In a word, how much
has the schooling of officers and men cost
this nation during the last two years? On
the other hand. how much would it cost in
peace 10 have every abls bodied man well
acquainted with the duties of soldier, and
many thousands prepared to act as company
and field of6cersl Surely the way we have
educated them has been hundred fold the
most expensive, even il we count only dol
lars and say nothing of lives. Profiiing by
this experience, such a dilemma could be
prevented by providing for the through
military education of our people. If We
could always be prepared for war in this
respect, this would lead to our being also
prepared in ali other respects.
