Last week We noticed some of the ode
freaks Of this new spiritual pen, giving the
result Of our own observations simply as .
journalist Some of our professional ner
in Franklin, have since examined this mat
ter, and they all acknowledge that they are
simply puzzled. If any of them believe
that these are the odd freaks of spirits they
have not said so. They simply say that
they don't know what to think of the matter
| cARIcATUREs.
Planchette, after the freaks which we
noticed in last weeks issue, tried its skill at
picture making rough specimens, it is true,
still they were pictures.

sketch was given.

When asked if it would write for US

The company continued to beg it to write,
and they obtained as an answer. 80, you 60

When asked to give rough sketch Of the
house We once lived in in Texas, correct
end view was given, including gallery, pill
lars, etc.
Planchette had been in the ar,noire for
several days, and when taken out, the first
sentence was" Been in the armoire too
long" After making pictures Of various
things, generally caricatures of people. male
and female. it writes. /" Put me back in the

Being asked to make a picture Of an
armoire. it made a sketch, body, cornice.

It was asked to designate the shelf it
desired to 60 on. and running the pencil up
to the middle shelf, it wrote over it. This"

and when taken out, 1t wrote Nept me

These questions might be multiplied to
any extent, but enough has been gwen to
present . correct idea Of the working Of the
spiritual machine.
Like every body else. We are puzzled to
know where to locate the thinking part Of
the little trick.

The GRAND DEMONSTRATION.
Especial Dispatch to the World ]

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. October 26.-Ihe
meeting this evening was the most magni-
ticent demonstration ever witnessed In In
dianapolis. The gathering at the skating
rink, which holds 5000 or 10, 600 persons,
and which was crowded to its fullest capa-
city, was but a single episode of it. 1t is
useless to speak Of numbers, for the reason
that every portion of the city had its out
pouring and took its part in the splendid
ovation to the candidate of the Democracy.
A solid procession of clubs, including
"White Boys in Blue" and stretching for
several miles, moved through the princi-
pal streets, and cheering Governor Sey-
mour and party, who were in carriages,
illuminated their path by their torches,
Chinese lanterns, transparencies, and fire
works and made the vicinity ring with
their enthusiastic shouts. Thousands stood
on the side walks, cheering as they passed.
The city was wild from it's centre to its
borders. Rockets and Roman candles shot
into the air from all points Of the compass.
Fine buildings and privates residences on
every hand were brilliantly illuminated
with candles in all the windows, or Chinese
lanterns hung from them. Immense bon
fires burned on half-a dozen squares, and
colored lights, red, white and blue, blazed
aud smoked from sidewalks, from balco-
MES, and from the tops of buildings. La
dies sat upon stoops or at the bright win.
dows, waving handkerchiefs as the process
sion passed. The Radicals last Saturday
