spirits will make us some practical
revelations. The company were
seated again at the ronnL table, each
individual with both hands placed
flat upon it. The lights were lower
&c! until the objects at the sides Of
the room were hardly visible. A dead
silence reigned for some minutes,
when there was rattling overhead,
on the right hand and tke left,
and underneath us, as if if1S1mera-
BE rats were running arounrTn the
walls and floors of the house. The
raps next came to the table, and
played upon it, up and down and
around it, and all over it, the long
roll which summons the soldier to
arms.
"Pleasc keep silence, gentlemen, .
said Herr Shockall, "tor few mo-
ments more" He then asked if the
spirits were ready for business, and
,hc raps in answer being satisfactory,
he enqured if the President desired
the presence of any particular spirit.
Father -4JroAam-Call in the spi-
rit of ex-President James Buchanan.
Herr ,Shockall-Tbe spirit of the
living only come of their own voli-
ton, and Mr., Buchanan, you know,
sir, still lives.
Futher AJraham-Sure enough |
forgot that. Call in the spirit of
John G. Calhoun.
Herr ,ShockaN-The spirits answer
that Mr. Calhoun can held ne COM
with this abolition ad-
at Washington. If you
want to see him you must come to
Charleston. He is there. You know
the road.
Father .Abraham-Good What
have you to say to that, Uncle Gid
con?
NJ. WeHes-I am afraid that when
we get into Charleston we shall find
that Calhoun has left for still hot
ter climate. Ask for Captain John
Paul Jones, and how we are to catch
the Alabama.
Herr ShockaN-Captain John Paul
Jones is here, and says that the way
to catch the Alabama is to send out
faster ships after her, get on her
track and run her down.

M. ,Seward-Call in Daniel Web

way to secure the neutrality of Eng
