beligerence is only a question of fact; but this
question Of fact may bo viewed through spec
tacles Of perncious self-interest. Mr. Mot
"ley." reports Lord Clarendon, said that his
Government did not question tho right OF
england or any other country to confer bel
"ligerent rights, but that the Government
(which acted in that manner must do 30 ut
ats own risk and responsibility" There is
world of meaning in this simple sentence. NO
law exists, indeed. to prevent nations from
being stupid or base, save the natural Law OIL
penalty.
But was it wise, was it honest in the light
of after events, to have made the preclpitate
recognition7 That is the true test OF nght.
Lord Clarendon may edify us with fact after
fact to show that in the great game OF
policy England had right to make the earli-
est possible use of the South but unless ne
can prove that the English Government did
not on the 9th of May announce its premature
intention to recognize the COnfederacy. his
citations are rubbish.

DEAD OR dLIVEf

Mr.. Washing ton Irving, III his agreeable
book on "AbbotsfOrd," relates drol story OF
Lady SCOTS simplicity. "What! is the Laird
dead r. said she. Faith, my dear" responded
Sir Walter, off he is not dead, they have done
chin great injustice, for they have buried him."
We are reminded Of this story by an account
in the ST. Louis papers Of "The Singular
Death of an Old Citizen" who was also an
"Od and wealthy" gentleman, named Joseph
+. Keitkamp. He died-at least he was sup
posed TO he dead-but somebody suggested
suspended animation" to the family, the
features and complexion appearing as natural
Gas life - tie cheeks retaining their healthy
"huer and the skin being moist and soft"
Here was undoubtedly q case for prudent eau
ton and iirst-latc physician. But this would
not do. 1.-TWO vampirc-looking creatures got
into the hOuse--a male and female vampire
the former in a long black robe and the latter
"in costume like the street dress of DR..
Mary Walker "Do you want to SEQ a
"miracle ?" cried the male vampire; edo you
want to see tho dead restored to lifeW This
was answered by the declaration that there was
nothing the bystanders would like to see better,
If it could be done. Upon this the he-yampire,
with an awful and blasphemous conjuration,
commanded the dead to riSc,' when was an
odd thing to do, even for vampire, seeing
that the theory was that the poor man was not
dead at ALL AS Mr.. Keitliamp did not rise
when thus adjured but lay perfectly still, the
woman tried her potency, with a like unsatis-
factory result.
Now came the most sCandalous scene OF all.
" A bury German came i'll and knocked down
the vampire, making him rather more anxious
for his own life than interested in raising the
dead Having knocked him down, the "burly
German" proceeded to kick the cOnjuror, and,
in fact, not to put too fine a point upon 1t,
kicked the mysterious creature out of the door.
The ladies present attacked the shc-mystery.
The prophet and prophecies departed, predict
ing the ruin and destruction of ST. LOns in a
way which would have warmed the Chicago
heart. Altogether, in the house OF death, 1t
was most painful and revolving scene.
We are free to confess that in our opinion
"proDhets" who go about pretending to raise
the dead shOuld be sent at once either to jail
or the lunatic asylum. AS a general rule, they
are probably sane enough, for they usually
manage to make money out Of their cOnjura-
tons, or. if not cash, at least clothes. food,
and lodging. But if they are lunatics, the
locking up is equally necessary. They are suf-
ficiently numerous now, and, as "spiritualism'
advances are likely to become intOlerably SO.
