or course, everybody will ask this
question, and answer it according to his
own notions. Sceptics will insist that
there Is some trick, and that the ghost
pictures are obtained by using lay fig
ures or old photograph negatives, or by
some other eXpedient of that kind.
The difficulty in the way OF this ex-
PLANTATION is that the photographer
whom we have called Brown, and who,
If we gave his real name, would be in
stantly recognized as excellent author
ity on the subject, says that there is no
process know to the trade by which the
thing could be done by any unfair
means without it being instantly found
out. A prepared plate must be used
within five minutes after it comes out
of the nitrate of silver BATH, SO that 1t is
impossible that an image could be
clearly impressed on it, and yet leave it
so that the living sitter could be taken
as clearly as he is. Besides, he went
through the process of preparing the
plate himself, as we have already mem
toned, and yet another face than his
own came, without his seeing any per-
son near him.
Another photographer of the name
of Quay, whom our reporter met at Mr..
Numbers room, stated that he had
spent three weeks in watching Mr..
Mumler and going through the process
again and again with his own hands,
and had not succeed in detecting any
imposture.

EDWARD BATES.

The kilograms announce the death in
ST. Louis, March 25th, of Hon. Edward
Bates, Attorney General during Mr..
Lincoln's administration, and the first
member of his Cabinet who has joined
him in the beyond. He was a native of
Virginia and nearly eighty years of age
at the time of his death, having his
home from early manhood till 6ecease in
Missouri. He attained eminence a. the
bar early in life, and while possessed of
fine logical mind, was indebted fully
as much for his success to an eminently
persuasive and pleasing eloquence of
diction that never fell fruitless on audi
ence or jury. Coming to Missouri while
it was yet Territory, he served as a
member of its Territorial Legislature,
was one of the trainers of the State Com
stitution, and for many years a leading
member in its Assemblies. He was one
of the few Wings Missouri gave susten-
ance to, but was an answering one and
has ever been in the advance line of
ICCGOAu anu AlS WAS
a representative in the Gath Congress,
but abandoned the political race and re-
turned to the practice of law from
financial reasons. In 1S47 he
attended the International Improve
ment Convention in Chicago, and il was
his mastery speech there that brought
him prominently before the country, and
it was doubtless the impression made by
it and his record on the Kansas ques-
tion, that suggested him to Mr.. Lincoln
as member Of his Cabinet. Since his
retiracy to private life, he has been the
warm, earnest, recognized friend of Pro-
gressive Republicanism, but his adj
vanced years have prevented his taking
active part in the struggle. In private
life he was universally esteemed, and
in his loss Missouri mourns the depart-
ure of one of her noblest and best citi-
zens, about whose grave affection will
strew kindest remembrances, and feel
with pain the void he has left in thou
sands of grateful hearts.
