MEsMERIsM.-Wer remember, some twenty
years ago, when the phenomenon called
mesmerism first made its appearance In
Dayton. TWAS then said that copper
cent placed In the palm of the hand of the
person about to be operated ON, had mag
ical influence in bringing on the happy
condition. Whether the theory of the coin
be good or bad In the case of mesmerism
experience has taught us that coin placed
In the hand Of some persons is powerful
sedatiye, and its effects almost miraculous.
Whether greenbacks have the same myste-
rious influence Is still an open question.
For ourselves, we believe they have, and
we argue from two premises. First, that
the immaculate body known as the Rump
Congress has declared them to be legal
tender; and second, that our spiritual ad-
yisers," by their actions, have led many
people to believe that the true way TO Par
adise is to be able to distinguish the coun-
terfeit from the genuine article, and that
the possession of a few Thousand Of the
prime commodity is a sure passport at least
into the Sumner and Stevens heaven.
These reflections have been suggested by
the mesn,erised condition of this mornings
Journal. We must not be understood as
even limiting at the possibility that our
neighbor has been mesmerized after the old
fashiop, OF that the Federal ofllce-holders
In this region had anything TO do with its
present somnolent state. Oh, no. We don't
believe anything of the sort. Any one who
has ever partaken of the Inspirations of
Beecher or the oberlin saints, could not so
far "iall from grace" as to be Influenced by
green back, 4. 3
