THE MYSTERY OF EDWIN DRooD. y

This wonderful novel, the completion
of which was considered as lost forever
to the world when the wonderful inspi-
ration that fingered as perpetual glory
about the conscious being Of Charles
Dickens passed out beyond material
life, is now, so the Eastern papers say,
to be revived and finished through the
mortal mediumship Of young Brattle-
boro resident, a native Of Boston, q ma
chinest by trade, who not only has had
no training for the work, but who pro-
fesses to have never been a Spirltualist.
and cares nothing for Spiritualism.
The papers which erewhile scofIed at
his ideas are being led, one by one, to
acknowledge, as they investigate, that
there are many important scientific
facts hitherto unknown or unacknowl-
edged in their philosophy. It has for
years been a puzzle to us that scientific
and religious men should so readily ac-
cept the idea of the inspiration of the
Bible, and yet so ardently oppose the
equally wonderful inspirations of our
own era. We have been taught by ex-
perienee, observation and much study
to accept both, and so will all the world
when the science of modern spiritual
phenomena, which is yet young, shall
have been everywhere unfolded and
thoroughly understood.

reject in the first place as an impossibil-
ity-as every one would do after thor
oughiy investigating the matter-the
theory that this manuscript was writ
ten by the young man, Mr.. A. He saws
he has never read the first volume, and
l care not whether he has or no, being
fully convinced that he was not capable
OF writing so much as one page Of the
second volume. This, of course, is no
for how many men are
capable OF doing what Dickens left un-
done? / am driven then to accent one
OF the two conditions: Either some man
OF genius is using this individual as a
go-6etween, in order to place an extra
ordinary work before the public in an
extraordinary way, or the book is, as it
processes to be, dictated by Dickens
from the other world. The one supposi-
ton is scarcely more astounding than
the other. If there is Vermont man,
heretofore unheard of, who is able TO
write as Dickens wrote, he surely has
no cause to resort to any such device as
ms. Ii, on the other hand, Charles
Dickens himself, though dead, vet

success OF Col. Reeds conscientious labors:
SALEM, Oregon, August 9, Is7a
r. D. ToWI., ESq.-Dear Sir: Having had the
pleasure OF witnessing the panoramic views OF
scenes in Washington Territory, Oregon and
California, which were painted by Col. c. A.
Reed, OF Salem, and exhibited by yourself ON
Thursday night last (Aug. >, at the Opera
House In this city, We feel Il Is due to you TO
say that, having visited great portion OF the
places represented by the paintings, We find
them true 10 nature, and such accurate repre-
sentations of the reality that they are recog-
nlzed al once. We cannot speak In terms too
commendatory OF the manner in which the
paintings are executed. No description with
pen pen or tongue can more than approximate to
InsIF l I IsaI merit;' nothing short OF an actual
View View OF them can give one an adequate idea OF
me their real excellence. No person having a de-
lected-many OF which are already lannon's NOT
ohiy IN the history OF the Western states bpi-
IN that OF the Nation-and who IL moi ,1osss,sses
OF the time means 10 visit the sc,,iPS ,,
70 allow this opportunity 10 pass without visit-
ing your exhibition and there learning. Tor a
small sum, what would otherwise cost a lons
journey and considerable outlay or p1onS,ss
And those who have visited the scenes these
paintings represent will find themselves an1DIv
repaid IN seeing them upon the canvas 10
which they have been so skillfully transferred
by the master hand OF Col. Reed.
As citizens OF Oregon we feel disposed to
thank you for the zeal you have manifested in
thus causing to be represented upon canvas
the beauty, grandeur and magnificent scenery
OF our State so little known abroad, thus draw
ing the attention OF the older States 10 our great
Northwest, in a manner more accurate and i'm
pressive than the words OF the most skillful
historian or eloquent orator. Very respect
fully, your obedient servants,
