THE sPIRIT-XVORLD.

TO me the spirit-world is tangible. 1t is
not peopled with ghosts and specters, shad-
ows and outlines of being, but with persons
and forms palpable to the apprehension. Its
multitudes are veritable, its society natural,
its language audible. its comprehensive real,
its loves distinct, its activities energetic, its
life intelligent its glory dscernible: ifs I'M
ion is not that of sameness, but of variety
brought into moral harmony by the great
law of love- like notes, which, in themselves
distinct and different make when combined,
sweet music. Death will not level and an
nul those countless differences of mind and
heart which make us individual here. Heav-
en-, in all the mode and manner of express
sion, will abound with personality. There
will be choice and preference and degrees of
affinity there. Each intellect will keep its
natural bias, each heart its elections Groups
there will he, and circles; faces, known and
unknown, will pass us: acquaintance will
thrive on intercourse, and love deepen with
knowledge; and the great underlying laws of
mind and heart prevail and dominate as they
do here, save in this,-that sin, and all the
repellence and antagonisms that it breeds,
will be unknown, and holiness supply in per-
feet measure the opportunity and bond OF

the other Powers in an effort to stop the war
between France and Germany. Up to the 18th

been killed in Paris by the bombardment.
The Council of Defence proposed to remove
Trochu from command, but finally agree to sus-
tain him. 1t is said that he said that if no help
from the outside was received he would be COM

MORE MOVEMENTS dispatch from Wash
ington in the Baltimore Sun says = supple
mental bill to what is known as the enforcement
act was agreed on by the House Judiciary Com
mittee at their meeting yesterday, and will be
pressed through Congress, if possible, at the
present session. This measure extends the OPP
crations of the act of last session to cities OF
smaller SIZE and is really intended to have ct
feet on every election precinct in the country.
While the former law seemed intended more
especially for alleged naturalization frauds IN
Northern cities, the new bill looks to the super
vision of the colored vote in the South. The
military feature remains, and places the naval
and military forces under command of civil OIL
GERS, while it inficts severe punishment tor al
legged bribery or intimidation of voters The
special Senate committee on the South have
summoned the Governors of North and South
Carolina. 1t is proposed to investigate these
two States to commence with. The Conserva-
tive men of North Carolina intend to be heard
before the committee, and will be able to show
from indubitable proof that many OF the late
outrages in that State have been committed by
colorcd and white members Of the republican
leagues, organized into plllaging and barn
burning parties
