this means a perfect sinecure Office, with
no benefits to the country, we are oppos-

whose duty it shall be to look to the

human feet are trcading and human hab-
itations are to be found, we are in favor
of it. Every Western State should
have a commission of forestry.

Auff-spiritualism- Revelations OF
"A n edfum.

In Birmingham, England, has been
founded an Anti-Spiritual Association.
AT recent meeting Of its members Mr..
K. J. Lees, a former trance medium,
proceeded to deliver an address descrip-
tive of his experience in spiritualism.
He had discovered it to be a delusion,
but still he was not bigoted in his belief.
The spiritualistg in Birmingham urged
him to take the superintendent of de-
veloping all their mediums, and he held
seances for that purpose in Suffolk
street. Now for the mode OF develop
ment. To develop tipping mediums,
all they had to do was to let them sit at
a table, and if the conditions were favor
able and they had developed fully,
the table would tip. Then they had
speaking mediums and seeing me-
diums, which we're more difficult
to develop. Speaking mediums went
into the trance, and if they could
not 20 of by themselves, they were sent
of by mesmeric passes. from one OF the
circle. Next, as to seeing mediums; If
| they wished to see any OF their departed
| friends, he would give them instructions.
He used to be g seeing medium and used
to see spirits so that he could not dis
lnguish them from real mem but,
strange to say, that after giving up spir.
itualism about three months he had
never seen a spirit, though he possessed
all his other faculties Of mediumship.
I Eow did they develop seeing medium ?
I The most nervous persons they could
find made ths best seeing mediums.
They must 90 hone, shut themselves in
q dark room, bandage oyer their eyes,
and ut there for half an hour. That
was the srst aight, and they must repeat
II till they eoai6 geo spirits. That was
| the way TO develop a seeing medium;
1t was the way he developed tS6
or three persons who az the present
tue we're good mediums amongst
the spiritualists. Mr.. Lees next
gent on to speak Of the mistakes made
by spirits, their geReTel torgetfulness Of
names and the impossibsEty of testing
many OF their communications Among
I other things be mentioned that the
spirit OF John Skelt, Scotch minister
made the mistake on one occasion of
manifesiing himself in Birmingham and
Molverhampton 81 the sane time. At
one time the Birmingham spirituslists
we're honored by some very exalted
spirits. he remembered one night a
speaking medium vas speaking, aud on
the name Of the spirit being asked. the
reply given was, Jesus Christi" IA

Christ set forth in the New Testament
as the Savior Of tbs yorld2" The
answer was Yes" but on bis ask.
ing. Are you the Savior OF the

ceived communication from DIR. Liv-
ingstone, who, at the time, was supposed
to have been cruelty murdered in Africa.
IL took about an hour and quarter to
mako the communication through the
table The spirit OF DR.. Livingstone
told them that he had been shot; that
five Africans attacked him, but before
he was killed himself he managed to
settle four of them; also that he was
buried in a village with about twenty.s six
letters in its title, etc. he quoted in
stances to show that the spiritualists
themselves did not thoroughly believe
the communications made to them from
the spirit world.

without discipline in the ranks and con

influential class Of citizens, liberal aud

Join the Republican party, and yet lee
that the unfortunate divisions and

the party, and there is no certainty that
a State convention could, in its ca

fuse into them the coherency thai

these circumstances It becomes conser-

THE Cincinnati Commercial, which is
always correct on the Republican goose
lust before an election, says that the
political fact of the times is that the
Republican leaders must put President
Grant in the course of ultimate extinc-
ton or allow the party to be destroyed. "
Well, as between the two sides OF such q
contest, we would take Grants shoes in
preference to some Of the Republican
leaders" and give considerable odds in
the pool. Grant is not to be extincted
as easily as some of his would-be sue
cessors fondIy imagine.
