McEnery at Rayville.

On Saturday, June 81, john McEnery
spoke at Rayville. The Beacon tries to
make believe it was a grand assemblage,
though the crowd seems to have found
room in the courthouse, which will hold but
small outpouring.
In reporting the speech the Beacon said:
"He denounced, in bitter terms, the carpet
bag and scalawag sneaks who SO artfull y
deceive the negro. He said these incendiary
white leaders would make suitable Orna-
ments to the stout limb Of tree"
The Beacon then denounces, in ad-
vance, the radical lie which the ''Rad-
icals intend to invent" SO the Beacon
SAYS that MeEnery "advised the people
to hang all members of that party" Our
readers can see for themselves, as we have
given the Beacon'S own statement of the
words he used, the "white leaders would
make suitable ornaments to the stout limb
of a tree Louisiana Lateligencer.

The Levee Engineers.

On Saturday, the following gentlemen:
General Longstreet, G.. w. r Bailey, General
jeff Thompson, Colonel Wrotnosky, and
others, inspected the crevasse at Point
Manor, in West Baton Rouge, near the
lower line of this parish. From in
formation derived from these gentle
men, we understand that all the
breaks in the levees will be repaired
at once, but owing to the want of funds the
levees could not be entirely overhauled,
probably not before next spring. These
gentlemen were entertained at Hermitage
landing by F. E. Trudeau, ESQ.,, after which
thew embarked on their chartered steamer,

MISS FLORENCE COOKE. THE WONDERFUL
LONDON MEDIUM.

Spirltuailsm appears TO he going
through a critical test now by the
scientists OF London. The medium
THROUGH whom the experiments are
mostly being made, is u young lady of
aboI. eighteen years of sge-Miss
Florence Cooke. She is not n public
medium, but the manifestations. which
take place in her presence are of such
Startling character, that it has been
quite Impossible TO coniinc the exhib-
jioas o; them to her family and friends
only. Many persons Of distinction and
celebrity have witnessed the same at
her own house. In seeing the phenom.
cna, the first condition is tying Miss
Cooke firmly in a cabinet, and sealing
tile knots. There is then curtain
dropped over the door between her
and those present, which, of course,
places her in the dark, while those in
the room are in the light. In short
space of time there comes from the
cabinet \ female figure, draped in
white, with a white veil falliag over
the head but not covering the face.
The feet are naked. She walks around
the room, speaking to all says her
name is Kate King allows persons to
feel Of her dress, and shake hands with
her, which are as tangible to the touch
as any other raw material thing on
earth.
The size and form Of the figure is
much like the medium, Miss Cooke,
which fact raised many skeptical
doubts in the minds Of those who
witnessed the manifestations, thinking
it might be Miss Cooke, who had freed
herself from the cords and dressed for
the play. However, in every instance
after Katie had returned to the cabi-
net, they had raised the curtain and
found Miss Cooke IN state of trance
or unconsciousness, securely tied and
sealed as when they had left her.
Here was case for Professors Crookes
and Varley to test the physical force
question. Miss Cooke very readily
yielded herself for them to experiment
on the phenomena. l will give their
experiences as professor Crookes gave
them to me. He took Miss Cooke
first TO his own mouse, that he might
be sure of all her surroundings. He
then improvised dark cabinet with a
curtain door. They placed the medium
inside and securely tied her. Profess
sor Varley then placed gold plate on
the inside of each wrist. to which we're
attached insulated wires leading out
into the room to very sensitive
electrometer. They tried every motion
of her hands and arms, and the placing
Of her arms together to see the differ
ent forces Of electricity produced in
the different positions.
Professor Crookes observed her all
the time. while Professor Varley had
his eyes on the electrOmeter. After
thoroughly learning the effect produc-
ed by each movement Of hers, they

How We LEARN GRAMMAR. When
MIIiard Fillmore died the other day,
most OF the notices which his death
occasiuned mentioned the fact that his
early education was neglected, and
that tie time when he began the study
OF the law, At the age of nineteen, he
hat never seen 4 grammar or geoL-
raphy. Yet Mr.. Fillmore, both in
writing and speech, used the English
language with about the usual proprie-
ty; and ike most Of our respectable
public men, hs never Iapscd into any
very gi'r'os solecisms. OF his geog-
raphy ne are not so certain, but hl.

They told her nothing-onIy to come
into the room and makes such motions
with her hands and arms as her me-
dunn had done. Katie at once threw
her hands around in lively manner,
which did not effect the currents of
electricity in the slightest degree.
Then Kate asked Prof. Crookes to
bring lighted candle and to hold it
to her face, and to see if she looked
like Miss Cooke. He tried il, and
found she had fair complexion and
light hair, while Miss Cooke is quite
dark, with dark hair. Professor
Crookes says that, as far as human
tests are concerned, nothing could be
more conclusive than that there was
genuine phenomenon outside of the
conscious aid of the medium.

curtain and found Miss Cooke in the

she came out Of the cabinet, and
there was nothing about her that
