TESTING THE SPIRITS.
The Kentucky HOrseman, McGrath,
and Foster the Medium. -

buu EoDtCI bnC AC1AuhAs -
Some years ago it seems that Mr..
McGrath got quite interested in spir-
ituaIism. There wasn't much racigg
going on so he could give the subject
his undivided attention. He invited
a friend to go with him TO see Foster
or some other circulating medium
and my friend went. But he told me
that it surprised him very much 70
see McGrath slip full deck OF cards
i'm his coat pocket before starting. II
scarcely seemed possible that Mr. Nc
Grath intended to propose game OF
spiritual seven-up, or to attempt to
beat some unhappy ghost out of every
rap he had at draw poker-which Is
supposed to be an emphatically blue
grass game. Well, away they sailed,
and found Foster in. found him out
at once, Immediately after finding
him in. Foster gave them his usual
circus, and Mr.. McGfath sat it
through in solemn awe and silence.
Sometimes a shade of impatience was
visible. but his face looked radiant at
the conclusion. HMr. Foster" he said
as he laid the usual honorarium down
on the table, "this is wonderful and
you deal a square game, you do, be
lieve. But there's jus. one thing more
want you to try, and II you do it and
don't give you just the best farm In
kentucky, my name amt Price Me-
Grath," and down went his hands in
to his coat pocket and out he fished the
pack of cards. "There," giving them
q scientific bluegrass shuttle, and
slapping them down on the table
backs up, "You just tell me what the
first card is without turning it over,
and his breath came slow in expecta-
ton, Price McGrath's did. Foster
couldn't, and Mr.. McGrath turned
sadly away, leaving the cards behind
in mis- disappointment. "If Foster
could only lust told me what that
card was,n he said to my friend as
they slowly walked up Broadway,
tI'd inst made our everlasting for
tune. I'd taken him with me, and
we'd adjusted every faro bank in this
country. And then il wouldn't
a-made their hair curl at Baden-Ba-
den and Monaco, pH be ID"
Mr.. McGrath always says th at
when he feels solemn and wants to
round a sentence handsomely.
A set of swindlers are travelling over
Iowa representing themselves as the
friends of Grangers, and offering 70
sell goods much cheaper than they
can purchase them OF home mer-
chants. They carry with them sam
Piles of the goods that they propose to
furnish, take the farmers notes tol
the goods, and sell the notes at dis
count. The goods never come. An
other set IL operating in the soutn-
west part of the State in the same
way, and carry their goods with them
and deliver them to their customers
The goods universally prove to be

WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON, October H. Senator
Pomeroy says that Conway met him
a few days ago, the first time i'm about
two years, and said, abruptly, at am
ont of money!" to which Pomeroy re-.
Piled, 81 know then how TO appreci-
ate yonr situation. for am nearly in
that condition myself" This was all
that passed between them at this inter.
view, and to-day moi a word was
spoken before Conway commenced
firing, surprising Pomeroy more than
anything that ever happcned 10 him
before. Pomeroy emphatically states
that he never had any controversy. or
ground for difficulty with Conway.
On the contrary, he says about three
years ago he and Senator Summer got
Conway's wife clerkship in the
Treasury Department, on her rcpres-
entation that her husband would not
support her. Subsequently, says
Pomeroy, he attempted to trustee or
draw her wages at tho Treasury De-
partment, and failed to accomplish il,
but he had no controversy with him
on that or an other subject.
Conway is native OF Baltimore,
printer by profession. He studied
law, emigrated to Kansae, took a part
in the early struggles OF the Territory
as Free State man, and after serving
as County Judge, was elected to Con-
gress as the first Representative OF
Kansas. At the end of the term he
was appointed by President johnson
Consul to Marseilles, but was removed
by President Grant soon after the lat.
ter's Inauguration. He has been liv-
ing in this city for several years.

"Once a girl came in and wanted to
hire a walking dress. She said she
was in great hurry and seemed a
good deal flustercd. She picked it out
and said 1t would do well enough,
though it needed altering to make IL fit
her decently. What made me wonder
was that the one she had OH was as
good q dress already as the one hired.
l asked her where should send it,and
she said nowhere---she would put it
on. She paid the rent in advance and
left $40 security and the dress she took

some reason or other. Another lady
"A coniiding creature, this one--told
me that her husband had given her the
money to buy street dress. She want
ed the dress, but she wanted dog
more. Hcr husband was willing to
spend money for dresses, but not for
dogs. So she just hired dress from
me for two weeks. and bought the dog
with the balance of the money. Then
she told her husband that the dog had
been given to her, and showed him the
dress. lie was satisfied, and when the
two weeks were up she returned the
dress, and he probably never missed it.
All +! there is rap--a customer, very
likely. just step into the other room

Well, guess have told you about al
that would be interesting. Good.

Rcmarkab,e Criminal Case.

The following story, says the Roch-
ester On. W Union, exhibits in
striking manner the results Of parental
depravity in its effects upon father
and son. About three years ago boy
named Henry Dunlap was brought to
Rochester from Watertown, under
conviction for some ofense, and
placed in the Western House of Ref
nge. He had not remained long in
the institution before he effected his
escape, and, changing his name and
otherwise concealing his identity, he
was not recaptured. His motherl lived
and still lives in Waiertown; but the
father, a worthless character, ADAM
doned his wife, some years ago and
left his whereabouts a matter of OBJ
scnrity. The son, after leaving Roch-
ester, journeyed eastward, and in June
last was arrested in Fonda for horse
stealing. About year ago the father,
Robert Dunlap, was arrested in the
same town for incendiarism and lodged
in Jail, where he remained until q few
days ago, when he was conveyed to
Dannemora TO work ont five years
sentence in Clinton Prison. The son
was tried at the same court and sem
fenced to four years Imprisonment.
The Sheriff escorted the two to State
Prison at the same time. On the way
to Dennemora they were obliged to
stop few hours at Watertown to
make connection, and while there the
young man was recognized by the Off
Ger who placed him in the House of
Refuge three years before. The moth
er was then sent for to hold an inter-
view with them, and recognized her
husband and son shackled together.
So sad and singular case has seldom,
if ever before, happened in this coun-
try
