Spiritualistio Triokeries.

"io. ildiiicI haohapoTTy, inc me-
dium, last evening held another un
earthly seancc at 956 Broadway, Mt
which there were present thirty five
persons to wituess the extraordinary
doings of "Bcn" the sailor, who had
! the bad luck to be drowned 8 me time
ago in lake which had moro fresh
water in it than the doomed "salt''
could conveniently y swallow.
The cabinet was us usuul placed
| upon the stage, and an extensive piece
OF adhesive plaster was placed over
the mouth of tho gentle medium, who
was attired in deep black end mani.
tested very little concern as to the
villianies of tho committee, who tied
her to rickety chair and left hor
alone in her loneliness.
"Ben" came to time in strong-yoic-
cd condition and explained how lie
swallowed more water than was good
for him, and how, after an unconscious
existence somewhere for six months,
ho got into spirit land on his own
hook, where he was gr etcd by his
sister, who, he ungrammatically ex.
planned, looked "moro palor" than
when she was worldling. The audi.
ence was of course delighted, and so
was "Ben," who, on the strength of
his drowning, sang o rollicking song
alone aud then gr ce 'ully gave way
to two invisible females, who sang in
a strain that bctokenod much adhe-
sivo plaster over their mouths. Then
came the questions. Tho frat was:
"Wbat is tue exact distance be-
tween the moon and tho aecoad story
Of the Fifth Avenue Hotel 2,
This was sumner, but" was,
in an indefinite way, fully equal to
tho occasion; for he made the eco
nomical reply that, as he had never
been "to" the Fifth Avenue Hotel he
couldn't tell the distance, which was
of course a very spirited response in
deed. aHi
els it lawful for man to marry his
widow p asked young man who
didu't wear glasses, aud who parted
his hair in the middle.
"Of course not" replied the medi.
um, much to the merrimena of the
audience.
"What is the density of tho atmos-
pbcre to the square inoh in the spirit
land p inquired another youth. s.
"}en'' said he hadn't mad & sur.
vey of tho spirit land, and SO WASH,
able to answer squarely.
Here gentleman asked "Ben,' as
a sailor, how many feet were contain.
ed in fathom, but the medium con.
tended he wasn't "learned" about that
sort of thing.
A lady wanted to know if he "be.
lieved in the indefinite of tho alb.
stract," and ho made a reply as intel-
ligihle no doubt, to himself as it was
mystery to other people.
An individual whom tho medium
in answer to a question, designated az
Mr.. Luna, wanted to know "wbich,
was the gray goose or the white goose
the gander y Ben suffered for O
while, chuckled quite audibly, and
then in an angry tone declared that
no "fowl" talk was allowed among the
spirita. This brought down tho house,
and shortly afterwards, when the me.
dium had united and tied herself by
spiritual means to her chair, the audi.
ence dispersed, of course believing in
spiritualism, yolept vontriloquism.

LETTER FROM SENATOR SHERMAN.
Mansfclh, Ohio, October 26, 1867
Dear Sir: hate been postponiDg for
long time IN answer to your invita-.
tion to attend the Georgia State Fair,
at Macon, on the 10th of November
next, with the sincere hope that 1
might be able to leave here in time to
do so. desire very much to visit
not only your State, but oil the Gulf
and cotton States, to learn by actual
observation the great resources of that
very important section of our common
country. The heat and animosity
growing out of tho institution of sla-
very for q long time precluded one Of
my political convictions from doing so
with satisfaction, but now ] feel that
in the changed condition of affairs no
reason oxiSts why Icould not do so.
Ny earnest wi,h is to contribatc in
every way possible to the development
and prosperity Of the South. For
that purpose it is public duty to
study your resources---tog become ao-
quainted with your wants--the char
acter and inclinations of your people,
|and especially their productions and
employments, Nearly all the public
men of this section have confined
their visits to the East or the West,
and we only know of the cultivation
Of cotton and rice as We do of tea and
coffee--by What we read, and not by
what we see. JoHN SHERMAN.

command Of Captain Kirton, of tho
Peninsular and Oriental Co,ppany's

channel is twenty feet, and tho re-
naming Instructions are boing rapid
1y removed. Tho decline that took
place in Paris in Sucz Canal shares 10
said to have been caused by the receipt
Of the following dispatch "The cap
tain Of tho Algle declares that his

sion is the result. The Empress Is

FUNERAL OF RoDERr j. WALKER.
The funeral of the late Robert j.
Walker took place at Washington on
the 18th inst. and was attended by
large number of citizens, including n
great many mombers of the bar. The
funeral services were conducted by.
the Rev. Mr.. Chew, of St. Albums
church of this District. The Prcsi-
dcnts family were represented by
Mrs. Grant, General Z. y. Dent and
MIR. Dent, tho father of Mis-. Grant,
the President being unable to attend
on account of business engagements.
Nlessrs. Fish, Robson and Cox, of the
Cabinet, wore also present, as we'll as
largo number of other distinguish.
ed gentlemen, many Of whom have
occupied prominent official positions
in thin District. A heavy snow storm
prevailed at the time tho funeral
moved from the house. The remains
are inferred OF Oak Hill Cemetary,
Georgetown. The Treasury and Post
Office Departments were both closed
to-day; the former in respect to the
memory of tho late Robert j. Wal.
kor and the latter in respect to the
memory Of Amos Kendall.
1t has been stated that Mr.. Wal
ker's health sucoumbed to severe
mental exertion. 1t is known that he
w,s most indefatigable in his financial
labors. Indeed, almost up to the
hour of his death he was engaged upon
q pamphlet, showing by the closest
statistical calculation that Now York
must, before long, become SO much
the superior Of London as to COM
mand tho commerce of the whole
world when hill of exchange
drawn on Now York will be worth
more than any other in the world
Calculating the actual distances, he
shows that New York is really nearer
the centre of communication with the
commercial..world than London, which
is eleven degrees north of the centre
of production, and the natural path
way of the worlds commerce. Sove-
raj improvements he also suggests in
tho harbor Of New York. This was the
last work of Governor Walkers ac-
tive mind, and is addressed to S. B.
Briggs, of New Brunswick, N. j.,
who has been associated with him on
these subjects for the past two years.
