SUBSTANTIAL SPTRITUALISM.

There is no limit, apparently, to the Spirit
ualist theory and practice Mr.. Mumler main
tains in the face of the lawyers that spirits
enter into photography like shades into
shadows-such shadows as we are ourselves
and which we pursue, as all the world knows
Mr.. Home depOses that the great Napoleon
thrust his hand out of eternity to have it
kissed by the present Emperor of the French,
who will witness, we suppose, whether Mr..
Home is Juggling or not, unless he considers
the dynastic trick of the hand and spiritual
coup dc main too good a mystery to be ex-
planned TO the vulgar Mr.. Damrain tells the
Dalectical Society that spiritual boys go to
school and continue to go until 49, and that
old men return to that age like crabs, back
ward-which goes to show what terrible
youths and what dreadful old boys they have
in the Rugbys and Harrows of the spirit-land.
Mr.. Marley, an electrician as well rs q spirit
ualst, holds more worldly views of the future
state. He thinks that violent deaths, such rs
those by hanging, are very prejudicial to the
comfort of ex-throttled spirits, that such ma
lgnants as these bcdcvil the thoughts of their
comrades below, and that there is as much
superstition on the other side the grave as on
this. Spiritualism, of course, is not supposed
to be a part Of that superstition. We
may as well remark the general world
illness and materiality of all this spir-
itual testimony. Mr.. Numbers pictures,
Napolcon's hand, Mr.. Damrain's terrible
boys, and Mr.. Yarley's devils and deyotees,
show wonderful applicability of the phe-
nomena of spiritualiSm to the common places
of life. Would Mr. Mumler be surprised did he
hear of n spirit oyster1 or if the celebrated
store on Broadway actually succeeded in pro-
ducing a spirit hat or the ghost of a very old
coat, delightful to tho soul of Mr.. Teufels-
droch What would Mr.. Home say if Count
Cagiostro put out his hand to pull his nose
What would be Mr.. Damrain's feelings to find
himself hazed at thirty-lve in a spiritual
Harrow Is it school he would like to send
his own children to, and is he sure that there
are no SQueerscs in the spirit-land2 Eternity
has, of course, no tcrrors or surprises for the
electrified but mattcr-of-fa fact Mr.. Marley. His
future world has galows aud maleiactors and
