the causes conducting thereto in which seems TO nc the
great question to be solved 1t is my belief that the
answer may be summed up in few words: a dishon-
est constituency" All the political questions OF the day
are discussed and settled in the drinking saloons. Who
are the principal agents for conducting eecOnsi The
licensed WHISKY dealers Where is money for procuring
Office paid and spent? In the drinking saloons. The
sober and industrious divided into two parties The
drunk and idle willing to sell their votes for
drink of whisky, and can give majority for either side

BAsH-BIsH FALLs.-It is we'll, some times, to look at the beautiful places near us through other eyes, and for this pur- pose we copy the following from the Hud- son Register: Since the Bash-Bish Falls property passed into the hands of Alfred Douglas, Esq, the New York millionaire a magic change has passed over the TO- mantle spot, and what nature had left un- finished in the way of beauty, art has supplied. Mir. Douglass has erected splendid summer villa about half way up the mountain, in the midst of it's native wilderness, and beautife6 the surround ing grounds with plants, shrubs, and rare trees, until it looks fitting spot for fai- ries to dwell. His greenhouse is one of the largest in the State, and every portion of the globe has contributed to it's stock; and in fact every thing about the place is in keeping with the munifcence of this temple dedicated to the goddess of flow CTS. The proprietor has already expend- ed about one hundred thousand dollars in ornamenting this Eden in the wilder ness, and has not yet got through with his improvements. It is probably one of the most romantic and beautiful private summer retreats in the country.

GENERAL PLLsBURY's NERvE.-In Q sketch of the life of the late General Amos Pillsbury, the Albany Express relates the following interesting incident: "About that time Q826) his father was appointed superintendent of the Connecticut state prison, his son being the deputy 1; but in 1880, his father having resigned, Amos Pillsbury was rendered the position, al- though but twenty-five years of age. It was in this institution, and almost quar- ter of century ago, that a desperate fell low named Scott was confined for fifteen years. He was determined not to work, nor submit to any of the rules, and short ly after entering the institution he nearly cut off his left hand to avoid doing any labor. But his wound was immediately
 attended to, and in less than one hour af-
 terward he was engaged in turning
 crank with his one hand For this he threatened to murder the warden on the | first opportunity, and in some way getting
 hold of a razor he sharpened it for the
 dread purpose. Hearing of this, MT l Pillsbury sent for him and commanded him to shave him. He eyed the man
 steadily seated himself in his chair, and
 the operation began, the prisoners nand trembled the while When the shaving was finished. the superintendent said T
 have been told yon meant to murder me,
 but thought I might trust you. God
 bless you, sir you may, replied the re-
 generated man, completely broken down. From that moment he became one of the
 best behaved criminals in the prison, was treated well, and remained on his good behavior until MT. Pillsbury left in 1882. But when the new warden was appointed, Scott tried to escape, and murdered the
 keeper. For this crime he was hanged the year following in Hartford.

she and A did not live together, that they had each found company they liked better, though there was still pleasant thread of friendship between them. I asked her what proportion of the married continued union, she said she should think about one in ten or a dozen.
 Mary NJ said she had had no re- grets at leaving this life so early, that she was happy and there was the fullest op- portunity in spirit life for completing the earth experience, which all had to have, that the infants that came to spirit life were not exempt from this law. I asked her how plainly they could see us. She said, not as plainly as you see each other, but perhaps about one-haf or two-thirds as plaiuly. She says her spirit home is very beautiful, and increases in beauty as they progress higher and higher. and in time the spirits Navs the earth to remain away, after they become prepared for higher pleasures of development, and af- ter they have no longer any earth ties and attractions. She said she had a good deal of her earth teaching to correct.
 Andrew Hine says it took him long while to get over counting notes and mort gages and now he finds his whole occupa- 'tion gone, but he is begining at last to see some new things to take an interest in. I asked h1m if he ever saw General B.. He said, no, he guessed the General nov ed in different circles from himself.
 C. P- said he had had many re- grets at leaving this life as he did but he supposed it was all for the best, he was doing better now since he was getting bet ter acquainted with his new home and surroundings.

But finally some spirits on 8 higher plane than himself were friendly to him, and these gave him his first start. He says it is not all the spirits on the ooAAO PAnAO "As4 yOu4CCAA tA6S yOu akG 6t- tracted to tor that will have any thing to do with you. He says they do not have to use words as we do to talk, but they read each others thoughts, which makes decep- tion impossible, and you know exactly who your friends are.
 They all express desire to talk with their friends in the ''form, ''as they term it, and say if they ever go where there is a good Medium they will try to do so. As further test to prove it was they, the appearance of each one, as they were in earth-ife, was described, and it was as correct, and thought even better than I could have done it myself, and in other respects they succeeded wonderfully well in establishing their identity, which avi dences I would relate, but you will com plain tllnt tlis article IS already too long, so I will stop here and perhaps write more another tiEe.
