HOMES ABROAD CHEAPLY REVISITED.

The low rates of steerage passage by the
English Transatlantic Steamship lines remain
changed and there seems be little likelihood Of any
immediate agreement among the companies. The large
emigration from this country which has been going
during the summer has, however, considerably fallen
of within the last few weeks. The majority OF
those who have crowded the Storage berths OF out
going steamers this have been Irish and English
immigrants who taking advantage OF the extraordina
ry low rates Of passage returning to visit their
relatives and friends the old country The German
steamship lines did not far reduce their rates as to
cause very marked increase in emigration Of Germans
from country The return OF most OF the irish and
English Immigrants who have gone to revisit their old
homes IL anticipated after the holidays. Some
of them have already returned. Last month

POPULAR FALLAcY AND DEcEPTIoNs.-
1t is an infirmity of man to cling to the
teachings of past generation, and to
stubbornly resist the light of reform
and progress. Health reform and tenn
perance growth are jealousy watched
over by the poison bitters compounders.
One great prevailing deception of the
present age is the impression that every
human biped of either sex must be
stimulated, and the poisoned chalice is
labeled "Medicated Bitters," the bet
ter to palliate their use and prolong the
epidemic. One of the most jealous
workers to cure this malady, DIR.
JOSEPH WALKER, inventor and proprie-
tor of the famed CALIFORNIA VINEGAR
BrrrRRs, believes in making bitters
that are "true medicine" and advises
the sick man to swallow a draughs that
will wash out the leprosy of his disease.
In this faith he is steadfast, and his
VINEGAR BrTTERs, though contradic.
ton to the general character of all
other bitters, are, as q great success
and Life VItalizer, evidence OF one
popular fallacy and corrected.

The Evidences of Spiritualism.

Mr.. Alfred Wallace's Defense of
Modern Sp;ritualism," which has now
been published in book-form, ends with
a summary of the mental and physical
manifestations which he regards as proof
of the reality of spiritual interference
in the affairs of this world. This sum-
mary may be condensed into the follow
ing:
PHYSICAL:
]. Simple phenomena such "a The produc-
ton of sound. the movements of bodies. the
alteration Of their weight. and the release OF
mediums from bosds, even from welded
iron rings. has happened in America"
. Chemical. Iron st a white heat has been
ie.d. and NE Goals have been swallowed,
without injury.
8. Writing and drawing by non-human
agencies.
4. Musical phenomena Locked pianos have
been PLAYED upon. Original music OF very
high character has beer produced.
5. Spiritual forms. These have been sparks,
luminous globes. hands. faces. and whole fig
ures clad in drapery. The human figures are
visible and tangible
s. Photographs of spirits. These have been
taken under al possible precautions against
fraud.
/. Automatic writing. This often conveys
accurate records of the past or prophesies OF
the future. L. is sometimes in language I'M
known to the medium.
e. Clairvoyance.
3. Trance-speaking. This sometimes snr-
passes the efforts of the sbles. living man.
This has happe2ed when the mediums were
illiterate and stupid
4. Impersonation. This corresponds to the
Biblical stories of possession by evil spirits.
{. Healing. Sometimes the touch of q
medium cures Sometimes the medium To-
Gates the disease and prescribes the right
medicine
TIE original summary is much Longer
and comparatively stronger. The evl
dence for it is given In the body of the
book. Mr.. Wallace's position, as the
peer of Darwin, would entitle him tc
candid and courteous audience, even II
wrote merely on hearsay. But he has
himself investigated these facts. Sc
has Prof. Crookes. So has Mr.. s. g.
Hall. So have many other scientific
men. 1t is foolish to pooh-pooh suci
statements, so supported They merit
intelligent discussion. The famou
Committee of the London Dialectica
Society searched into the phenomena O
Spiritualism, found that some were I'm
deniable, but could come to no conclu
sion. Certainly this puzzling probler
is well worthy of the earnest attentlo
of the leaders of thought. SneeriDg q
its facts will not change them into lies

vincing proofs of mmortality.-Ch

Horrible Murder in Calcutta.

A most atrocious murder has been
committed in Calcutta. In April last,
a goldsmith, both by caste and trade,
living in Amherst street, gave his
daughter, girl about 9 years old, In
marriage. She remained at her father
in-law's till short time ago, when she
returned to her own fathers house. The
wife of an opposite neighbor,. who is
also a goldsmith BY trade, asked the
girl to come over and show her we'd
ding Jewels. The two families were on
friendly terms, and the girl, with her
mothers permission. decked herself
with the jewels, said to be worth many
hundred, or. as sonne assert, thousand
rupees. and went over, with female
pride. 10 exhibit to her friends her nup-
tial presents. She had not been there
long. however, when she was seized, her
throat cut, and her body, being stripped
of all valuables, was buried, In stand

house. the inmates of which consist OF
the owner, his wife, and two workmen.
When the police, on getting informa
ton of the murder, went to the house
and questioned these persons, they

A Famous Medical Institution.

From the Chicago Times.1
"The name OF DR.. r. V. Pierce has become
as household words. His wonderful reme-
dies, his pamphlets and books, and his large
medical experience have brought him into
prominence and given him q solid reputation.
The Times, in the present issue, presents
whole-page communication from DIR. Pierce,
and our readers may gain from 1t some idea OF
the vast proportions Of his business and the
merits of his medicines. He has at Buffalo
mammoth establishment, appropriately
named 90 The Worlds Dispensary," where pa
tents are treated. and the remedies COM
pounded Here nearly hundred persons are
employed in the several departments, and
corps of able and skilled physicians stand
ready to alleviate the sufierings OF humanity
by the most approved methods. These ply
sicians are in frequent consultation with Dr.
Pierce, and their combined experience ID
brought to bear on the successful treatment
of obstinate cases. The doctor is man OF
q large medical experience, and his extensive
knowledge Of materia medica has peen &C
knowledged by presentations OF degrees from
two of the first Medical Colleges in the land.
How meritorious his works are may be In
ferred from the fact that his pamphlets and
books have been translated into German.
Spanish and other foreign languages, and
have been in heavy demand. As an evidence
Of the business of the dispenssry, 1t Is only
necessary to state that for the quarter ending
March 81, 1874, the sum expended for postage
alone, not to speak Of that paid on news
papers received, was S2,0s0.7O. A perusal Of

An extraordinary murderer was exc
cuted a few days ago within the walls
of York Castle. His name was Will
liam jackson. He was a soldier, and
he was hung for the murder of his sis
ter, whom he killed, although he loved
her, and for no other reason than that
she insisted on going with him to keep
him out of bad company. He made
the following confession a few hours
before his death
left Carthorpe for Huntington at
ten minutes past five O'Clock with my
sister. We went to Kirklngton togeth-
er, and when we got to Huntington we
went to Mrs. Husthwaite's and stayed
there for half an hour, and then left for
Ripon, my sister saying she would set
me on the way. When we got to Kirk
lington Church / told her she had bet
ter go back again, as it was getting
rather late. She said, "No I'll go
little further yet" She went with me
till we got to the other side of the barn

altogether. 1 said, ''No ; its no use

passed us while this was taking place.
When she got up to me turned around
and said, Now, Lizzie, you had bet
ter go back" She says to me, 81 will
not go back wherever thou goest I'll
go with thee" So made no more to
do. I opened my black bag and took
out my razor, and cut my sister Lizzie's
