SPIRITUAL. MANIFESTATIONS. = The
syashoe ghost seems to have subsidized
into Its normal ~obseurity, and Ginn's
mermaid has disappeared altogether
among the big speckled trout Of Lake
Tahoe, or perhaps has swan out
through that s~ubterranean passage
communicating with the Pacific ocean.
The Spirituallsts, however, are not all
dead or quiescent, by any means, and
occasionally we hear Of queer deyel-
opments and manifestations produced
or induced In private circles, even
within the precincts Of Virginia and
Gold Hill-nothing important or re-
liable, however. Our exchanges from
various parts Of the States frequently
contain accounts Of spiritual doings,
ghost stories, ETC., and the San Fran
cisco Alta Of yesterday gives the fol-
lowing In Its editorial columns:
"Home, the spirituslist, Is working up
q considerable reputation for himself,
and II he can only perform In public
the feats said to have been done In pri-
yate, before a select few, he will create
as much wonderment as did the Da-
yenport Brothers In their clever tricks
that defied detection for SO long q
time. Spiritualism has met with so
many reyerses by the spiritual mani
festation being demonstrated to be
only the result Of ingenious worldly
appliance. that It has sunken into dis
repute. The thousands Of gulled be-
lievers In the promiscuous and bolster
-ous visitation Of people from the other
world, have either Q the errors Of
their way, and amended their articles
of belief, or, on account Of alteration
Of mind, are now inmates Of insane
asylums. But this man Home, accord
ing to a story published In the Spiritu-
dlist newspaper, has been sailing
around In the dir without being en-
numbered with wings, as we are led to
believe Angels are. He takes a room
in the sixth, eighth or tenth story Of a
building, and the trick Is to 60 into q
trance, open the window, sail out head
or feet foremost (no preference as to
endL and then, after floating around
In the air for q reasonable length OF
time, he goes into somebody else's
room after the same fashion that he
came out Of his own. How he does It
ia not stated but II he keeps sailing
around into peoples rooms, provided
he does not get shot for q burglar,
some shrewd Yankee Will catch him at
1t and expose his trick" "
JAPANESE T1aER.-At the Delta Sa-
loon, on c street. says the Enterprise
Ia to be seen one Of the most ludtcrous
parodies upon rye tiger" imaglna-
Bile. The beast was sent to the estao-
lishment BY Frank Harrington, now In
,Japan, and Is braided from straw;
The "anamile " has black rings round
its curiously kinked tail has a ire
mepdous mouth, and great glaring
ewes. the ears Of a hog and the feet OF
monkey. It has been conspicuously
PLANTED over the door leading to the
fono room In the rear Of the saloon,
and ID supposed to represent the devil
nre.iding over that seductive game.
With the beast Of the jungle came a
Japanese flreman's coat and q Japan
csc policeman's hat, both sutficlently
outlandIsh In cut to prove first-ciass
curiositles.

Chickens dropped their wings, and

weather here yesterday was hotter
than the California campaign. p
