Once more we hear of excitement
concerning that humbug, Spiritualism,
which ought to have followed the
witchcraft and entertainments of the
dark ages, into contempt and oblivion,
but which the superstitious desire of
mankind keeps alive just rs it does
many other humbugs. This time it
is Chicago which has its organ of the
marvellous excited, and the persons in
the drama are a photographer, two
clairyoyants and newspaper re-
porter of the Bohemian order, who is
himself a powerful medium. Any
iuggles wrought by this quartette and
reported by the Bohemian, might
have been laughed at, but instead Of
that, men, women and children, Won
der over the highly colored accounts
of spiritual photographs taken in
company with the Bohemian. Some
times the picture of the spirit would
represent beautiful young lady,
almost hiding the reporter; some
times the spirits alone were visible on
the photograph, the reporter being
nowhere, or as the photographer said,
completely hid by spirits. All this
made those seeing and hearing. open
their eyes with establishment, till the
photographer, to the intense disgust
Of the spirituaiists, disclosed the jug
gle, namely, that the picture Of the
spirits were merely impressions al
ready taken of persons, one of whom
he named, and that the reporter -" as
taken on the same plate, which when
washed, brought out in each case both
likenesses.

Notes from the Hub.
MONTPELIER, Oct. 1C

MONTPELIER, Oct. 10.
In 1870 the Legislature passed a
resolution empowering the Governor
to contract with Julian Scott for !
painting of battle commemorative
of the bravery Of the Vermont boys
in the late war.
Mr.. Julian Scott was born in John
son, VT, and like so many Vermont
boys who have made their mark, was
reared in poverty. He early enlisted
and in one Of the first battles was
wounded, and discharged for inability.
His mind was so wonderfully I'M
pressed with the solemn grandeur Of
battle, that he at once conceived the
idea of painting battle. A friend
Of his, Vermonter from Hartford,
Conn, believing him to be cut out for
painter, took him to Europe on his
own expense. Here he had an OPP
portunity to develop according to
his nature and in q scientific way.
Returning four years ago he was en-
gagged by Gov. Converse to paint a
battle for the sum Of three thousand
dollars. He has just completed a
painting Of the battle Of Cedar Hill,
and to-day it was hung in the Cover
nor's room, no other place in our al
ready crowded Capitol being suitable
for it. The picture is rs feet long by
10 feet wide, and the painting alone
Weighs 250 lbs. The frame is truly
splendid and cost 5000. The picture
with the frame weighs over a ton. 1t
is rich addition to our Capitol, re-
memberiug that we have no historical
pictures. | understand further ap-
preparation will be asked for, but let
all parties abide by their contracts.
The work WAS done at Crown Point,
N. Y.
On Thursday p. M, Judge Peck
appeared at the bar of the House,
accompanied by retiring Gov. Con-
verse, to whom Judge Redfeld adj
miuiStered the oath of office. Two
grey headed old men--one to private
life, the other soon to folow-an OK
cellent way to retire an old Judge for
a younger man; it lets him down
easy-sharp practice, and tight reins,
to successfully drive the political
horse. The Governor was serenaded
in the evening at the house Of Col
Hopkins. He invited the boys in,
but being an old "bach" he had &
good reason for not bringing Oh the
''pro." Friday and Saturday q few
bills were introduced, but the Speak
er not having appointed the commit
tees, but little was done.
On Monday the Speaker an
nounced the Standing Committees
and the House is now fairly at work.
A large number Of bills have been in
troduced, and referred. Some of the
more important arc, to virtually abol
ish our judiciary system; to exempt
harnesses, carts and tools rom at
tachment; to repeal portions of GU
school law to raise the interest to
per cent. by agreement of parties, land
many others, and also several acts 0
Incorporation. Among them is one
to incorporate the West Concord
graded school. l.. L. Dacher, of st
