SnIrituaIisIa not A New Thing.

Archaeology finds the prehistoric past
surviving among us in many ways. First
of all in our words, (e. g., the names Of
the days.; next in our architecture (e. g.,
the orientation of churches, insisted upon
by Vitruvius, q relic of sun-woTship); then
in our customs. Our games, particularly
those of chance, are traceable to ancient
religions; and among many tribes OF saw
ages dice are still used for divinatiOn. Clip
sizes still put cards to their primitive use of
fortune telling. But perhapsthe most GU
rious instance of this kind of survival Is
modern Spiritualism. DIR. Bastian, of
Berlin, has lately shown how the very
forms and tricks of Spiritualism have been
known to the most ancient times. 'Plan-
chette" has been for ages familiar instru-
nent among the Chinese for receiving com.
munications from their ancestors,
who are to Confueians almost the only
gods. The tyings and the un-
tyings in cabinets were centuries ago famil-
lar to the Tartars and Oiibbeways of Amer
ica. A distinguished biologist of London
recently designated Mr.. Home as ga Tar
tar in evening dress" But find him moro
related TO the ancient Cslt. Thus, among
the ancient Celts, great spiritual elevation
was held to be frequently attended with
physical elevation, and Mr.. Homes latest
feat is soaring in the air. From the earli-
est worsbipers of Britain the idea passed
! into the Christian Church. Thus we read
that Richard, one OF the early archbishOps
of Canterbury, was surprised by monk
when floating in the air. Indeed, it were
easy to match most of the phenomena OF
modern Spiritualism from the records OF
this one city. Once friar, who neglected
TO take proper care of the tomb oi
Eihelbert, was visited by spirit, clothed
in light, who admonished him, and retired.
As for the spirit-raps, they were well known
in the time of the witches, since when they
have been repeatedly initiated byprisoners,
who have used them to communicate from
cell to cell-one rap meaning A; two, b
and peculiar noises agreed upon as signs
for s'Yes" and ''No." Undoubtedly many
of the ancient obseryances have como down
to us through the alliance of the Church
with the religions it found already in occu
pation.-From "SOtdh Coast Salnterings u

Climate and clothes in Russia.

It may be said that the Russians have
no summer clothing, True, the upper
class, which follows English or French
fashions, has every variety of costume
proper to the different seasons. True, al
so, the people at large have garments
which would not be unsuited to some Of
our June weather. But the Russian sea-
sons, as the St. Petersburg correspondent
of the London News justly remarks are
sharply defined. Winter is winter with a
vengeance on the banks of the Neva, and
summer is time of constant daylight, OF
brightness, dust and considerable heat.
The sun has scarcely dipped beloy the
horizon, and left long red lines IN the
northern sky to fade slowly away,
than he appears again, little to the east
of north, as if he had never really set.
The day is SO heightened out tEat it
seems doubly o summer day, and the people
all the while are going about in great
coats. There is no Disgusting the fact that
great coats and boots are Russian fobile.

time is so severe cling resolutely to what
will guard them from the nipping frost.

Pittsburg Evening Mall July II.
A very ingenious trick, by which gang
of swindlers are making money by mutila-
ting national bank notes of the denomina-
ton of five dollars, has recently come to
-1r notice. The dodge consists in making
''a out of nine, and is so managed

from the right, or what amount to the same
thing. one-tenth from the left. Number
one is passed as it is, with tenth gone from
the right; the one-tenth taken from num-
Der one is pasted to the residue of number
two, from which two-tenths had been taken
these two-tenths are made to answer the
place of the three-tenths taken from num-
Der three, and so on through. Thus nine
five dollar notes are completed, leaving the
original nine, with q tenth gone from the
left as a tenth note. 1t will be seen that
but a tenth is gone from each bill, and in
different place on every one, and a little
Ingenious pasting makes the loss imper-
ceptible to ordinary observers. It is GER
tain that large numbers of these mutilated
bills have been put in circulation, and our
readers will do well to look out for them.
The rogues who have carried out the
fraud were cunning in selecting the denom-
ination they did. Larger bills would have
been more closely scrutinized, and smaller
ones would not have been so remunerative.
The department will not redeem bill
which bears evidence on its face that it has
been tampered with, and we advise our
friends to scrutinize their five dollar bills
closely.
