SpIRIruALIsM ExrLAINED.-A journal, in
the interest of Spiritualism, contains the fol-
lowing singular and remarkably lucid para
graph, which the reader will please declpher
for himself:-
" Celestial man takes on six enveloping
clothings in his descending cycle, his out
coming life, his incarnations; or perhaps
better worded, he grows outwardly from
himself as spirit into six degrees of express
sion, his seventh degree being himself NEST
internal, most deific in the special or analytic
sense (Which is the larger dIviner) when
making his upward cycle Of movement, for
then he exercises his negatives, his superb
cial and artificial characteristics, and makes
himself more consciously immortal In whole
ness-in the seven degrees OF his trifoid be-
harmonic trinity in unity, and Lord Of Lords
How wide the circular sweeps-how vast
how mighty the destiny of humanity!"

of this city, said -
"Thc Swedenborgians have been classe'
with the Spiritualisis; but this is grea
mistake, for Swedenborg warns his reader
against these very manifestations which ar
now so plentiful, and says that to seek in

Trines.

The massive gates Of circumstance
Are turned upon the smallest hinge,
And thus some seeming prettiest chance
Oft gives our life its after tinge.
The trifes Of our daily lives,
The commonest things scarce worth recall,
Whereof no visible trace survives
These are the mainsprings after all.

The history of cooperative manufactur-
ing business in Connecticut, now some twen-
ty years old, is curious and interesting,
1t was commenced almost without capital,
and has reached the magnitude of large
business. We allude to the pocket-knife
manufactory in Northfield. The original
members of the company were English and
Scotch, who struck for higher wages and
were unsuccessful. Instead in wasting their
time in idleness, they found an old unused
mill on a little brook In Northfield, and made
a bargain for it-$5 month, and the farmer
who owned it was to take his pay In pocket
knives.
They counted up their capital, and found
it to consist in an even five dollars piece,
the fund of those who had only two or three
dollars being pieced out by those who were
the fortunate possessors Of seven or eight
They were generally sober and industrious
those who were otherwise dropping out of
their own weight, and giving place to better
men. The business succeeded. The capital
was largely increased. Dividends were de-
clared. The profits, instead ofbeing absorb
ed by one were shared by all. The old shop
was enlarged. The workmen-capitalists
gathered their families about them, and each
built himself snug white cottage along the
road leading TO the adjacent hill side. Some
of the past officers have proven unworthy or
inefficient, and the company has met its
share of mishaps, but the general result has
| been prosperity.

Disease Produced by sleeping Tos ether.

During the night there is considerable eK-
halation from our bodies, and at the same
time we absorb large quantity OF the sur
rounding air. Two healthy young children
sleeping together will mutually give and re-
ceive healthy exhaations; but an old,
person near child will, in exchange health,
return weakness. A sick mother near her
daughter communicates sickly emanatlons
to her; if the mother has cough of long
duration, the daughter will some time, cough
and suffer by il; if the mother has pulnon-
AIRY consumption, it will ultimately be COM
municated to her child. 1t is known that
the bed of consumptiye is powerful and
sure sourse of contagion, as well as for men
as for women, and the more SO for young
persons. Parents and friends ought to op-
pose as much as is in their power the sleep
ing together of old and young persons, Of
the sick and of the healthy. Another reason
ought to forbid every mother OF nurse keep
| ing small children with them in bed; not
| withstanding the advice of prudence, no year
passes that we do not hear of a new invol-
| untary infanticide. A baby full of life,
| health and yigor in the evening. is found
dead the next morning, ,sufocated by its par
cDis or nurse,

A STEEL-FAcDD RAIL.-The Rochester
Union SAYS that Mr.. J. L. Booth, of that city,
has invented and patented steel-faced rail,
of which it gives the following description :
1t is in the form of T rail, the face being
made of steel, while the body is of iron. Mr..
Booth has made the machine by which this
face can be laid upon the iron with rapidity
Some of these rails thus faced with steel
have been made at Johnstown, Pa, and are
now being tried. Engineers and other
practical men who have tested this rail in
various ways are unanimous in the opinion
that it will prove great invention. The
end sought is to produce rail that will
wear like steel, yet that will not cost as
much. While steel rail costs twice as
much as any made of iron, this will only
cost twenty-five per cent more than iron, and
have all the advantages of steel. 1t is con-
tended that the rail will be greatly strength
ened and render the danger from breakage
much less There will be another great
saving in the costs of rolling the iron. New
faces of steel can be put upon rails at any
time without putting the iron through the
rollers.

1t was easy for Mr.. Wilson to perceive,
while here, as our people all know, that the
yatter-day war saints in our midst are more
disposed to throw distractions in the way of
reconstruction than the original secessionists.
Nearly all the bitter and uncharitable re-
marks made about him behind his back,
proceed from those who, seeing they would
emancipation proclamation should be made
good, disregarded their Union pledges in
1851 and 1862, and began to fight in 1868,
and fought to the last for their negroes. The
leaders of such people are such public men
as Mr.. Graham, Gov. Vance, Gov. Worth,
Mr.. Pell and others-all of whom, in the
hope of perpetuating slavery, broke their
Union pledges in 1868, and went over to the
Davis despotism.
The original secessionists, as class, are
far enough behind in all conscience in the
work of reconstruction. We know some of
them, we are glad to say, who are in a pro-
per frame of mind, and working honestly to
reconstruct the State on just principles; but
we know of no latter-day war saint of the
Graham, Worth stripe who is doing his duty
as a patriot and lover of the Union in this
crisis. The original secessionists in this
quarter are at least quiet and silent. If
they can not help the work of reconstruc-
ton, they are not obstructing it, as the lat
ter-day war saints are doing.

A remarkable instance of the undesirable
nature of gunpowder, says the Oban Tiaex
has been brought to light. On the estate Of
Ballachullish there are two veins of slate
the west being the first opened, but it was
closed, about one hundred years since Mr..
Pitcalen, the lessee, began the old quarry
again, a few years since and the other day
the men came upon an old bore with "a
rag in it's mouth. The workmen are inter
ested in every fragment of antique remains,
and they searched the bore and found that
it contained powder, which, when brought
out and exposed to dry, took fire like any
other powder. 1t is now believed that the
part of the quarry where these remains were
found has not been worked for the last one
hundred and fifty years.

fact that in the tfremen's parade which oc-

rebels will not reverence the national colOrs,
they must he taught at least to respect them

much of an American and has served too
long under the flag of his country to allow
any disrespect to he shown it under his jul
risdiction. The people of South Carolina
have realized this fact since Gen. Sickles
was placed in command of the End district.

Correspondence of the Charleston News.


In yesterdays Herald an advertise
mcnt appeared of q desirable house to
rent, in good location, Thirty sixth
street near Sixth avenue, price only

vited to call at the residence of the adj
vcrtiser, between the hours of nine and

If the man had advertised to give out

currency, the house could not have been
more crowded with eager applicants !;
The parlor was filled with ladies the
passage way was crowded there was q
perfect jam outside and around the en-
trance, and, in fact, it was almost i'm
possible to get inside the house. Moul-
trie, however, wedged his way in to see
the fun. At 9 o'clock the gentleman
made his appearance, like Mayor at
his Court, and announced that he would
FIRST give an audience to the lady. who,
he had been informed by his servant
(who wore white gloves, had been wait

joining the crowded parlor, then anoth-
err lady, then another still, each one
marching in in postotfice style. The
crowd, however, grew impatient, and
made rush for the private room where
upon the gentleman came forward like
a candidate for a public office, and adj
dressed them all collectively. He be-
gan by stating that the house has no
yard, whereupon about a dozen of the
ladies' were seen to disappear suddenly.
Next he stated that some of the rooms
were rather small, then added, in par
enthetlc style, that there was a mistake

the scene that ensued at the termination
of this Grafton is almost impossible
Noses were turned so contemptuouslv
(some ofthem tantalizingly pretty noscs)

Mr. CONWAY.

1t appears from Card published in the
Wilmington Journal by Mr.. MCGUIRE, Stem
ographer, that he accompanied Mr.. Conway
to that place, and reported his speech. Mr.
Mcclure states that the Chairman of the
meeting, a colored man, asked for the report
of the speech in the name of the meeting,
and offered to pay fifteen dollars for 1t, he,
Mr. Mcclure, asking fifty dollars for it. MIR.
Mcclure does not charge that Mr.. Conway
made him any offer on the subject, OF held
out any inducement to him to accompany
him to Wilmington. 1t is clear, from Mr..
McGuire's statement, that the whole matter
of reporting and pay was with the people
who composed the meeting; yet that gen.
tleman and the Journal have assailed Mr..
Conway in gross terms, because the former
was not paid most exorbitant charge for
his report We judge from Mr.. McGuires
statement, that Mr.. Conways Wilmington
speech was about the length of his Raleigh
Speech and we paid him twenty dollars for
the latter, with which he seemed entirely
satisfied.
The Journal speaks of Mr.. Conway as &c an
irresponsible political vagabond," and
charges that his speech was of an I" inccndi-
airy character" Mr. Conway is gentleman
of high character who performed valuable
services during the rebellion in the armies of
the United States, and he has the confidence
Of thousands of the best people in the coun-
try. So far as incen6idrisne is concerned
we suppose that consists in his having told
the colored people that they have rights,
and that it is to their interest as free peo-
pie to vote against the Journal and its faction.
The Journal will hear much of such incendi-
arism for many, many years to come.
