Spiritual Mediums TO do the WorI,
Of tbs Telegraph.

The world moves. How many men
scientific men, t~oo-laughed at the idea
of sending dispatches by telegraph when
that wonderful science was first talked
about? And now comes a man with an
idea, nothing but an idea we are 'ATe to
say, and declares that before twenty Eve
years roll around there will be no sucn
thing as a telegraph wire used in this
country that everything now done in the
way of transmission Ofnows by tclegraphy
will be done by spiritual mediums. That
railroad companies will employ mediums
in place of the telegraph to run their
trains, and do all the other work, and
newspapers will employ c~lairvoyants to
tell them what is going on in different
parts of the world. When all things
come to pass the clairvoyant business
ought to be profitable. While on this
subject of s%piritualism, we would like to
ask why some medium does not corral the
spirit Of old Adam and make him tell
about that little affair between him, Eve
and the Devil in the garden Of Eden?
In this sensational age, if the items were
well worked up and properly sugar.coat>
ed, its recital would be highly appreciated,
and ifgiven with a show of reason or
foundation in fact, might go far towards
giving us an abiding faith in. the pro,
posed scEsm, of making spiritualism do
the work of the telegraph Kansas City

Judge IIOuk fer Congress s.

Never since we have observed the p)>
litical indications of the times, has there
been such unanimity of sentiment as that
now among,,R Republicans in favor of Judge
Houk, forthe next Congress. Politicians
who have heretofore, and may again col
Tide with him, will find that he has a
firmer hold upon the popular mind, and
is more universally esteemed as q man Of
capacity, and integrity, than any man Of
his age in the State. He is strong with
the people. There is not q man in the
whole rank of u observation and ac>
quaintance who has accomplished more
and developed a higher order of talent by
self culture. He is not only a self made
or more accurately speaking, q self devel,
oped man, but coming as he has from
humble walks of life, he is peculiarly tho
friend of that class known as the common
people. Having been a moehsnic--a la
boring man he is in the true sense of the
term the working mans friend. He is as
we'll qualified for the position of Congress,
man, as any one in the State. And we
propose to honor him by an election on
the Republican ticket. = Loudon Jour
nal.

ses were scarcely represented at ALL
These fifteen hundred spectators held
their owa numbers in their fists and
watched the drawing also for acquain,
tanGes. And how many ofthat large au,
dlence do you suppose we're suddenly en-
riched during tho day? Not one. The
biggest haul that | heard of was a tenth
of $3.50.
Here is another point forticket holders
to look into, if they ever get a chance,
which considering their lives of humble
toll, is not very likely. The managers
say that only three-fourths of the tickets
were sold, and accordingly they reduced
the prizes to that extent. Bnt was just ex-
actly one>fourth of the tickets left on
their hands unpurchascd? If their state
ment is only an approximation-and can
it possibly be anything else?-the matter
is important. Five per cent. of variation
from their statement would mean $780,.
600. The ticket.bolders had a right to
know exactly the number of tickets
left unsold. To state it roundly at three.
foarths, shows how loosely the hambug is
conducted. and how powerless the vic.
Tins are to protect themselves against
important departures from the scheme,
as advertised up to the very morning of
the drawing.
The %jolliest people I saw at the hotels
of Louisville were certain agents who
pocketed $2j0,000 commission allowed
for the sale of tickets. They we're more
dubious and radiant than the most fancy
type of commercial traveller. And not

: DIR. P. FAHRNEY'S !
Celebrated
Blood Cleanser or Panacea

AS a medicine for children, the Pana-
cea is, in evCgy way, calculated to take
the place of the endless variety of drugs
which are annually sold for that purpose,
and which are often very injurious. A
medicine which possesses the qualities of
a cathartic as well as q mild Alternative,
and which is capable of arresting disease
without the least injury to the child, is OF
incalculable value to every mother. AS
a cathartic, it is very effective, yet it does
not, if given in proper quantities, cause
nausea or distress in the stomach or bow
els. 1t ISL very pleasant to the taste,
which is n very important feature as a
medicine for children. AS 4 preventive
of disease it is unprecedented, as it acts
directly upon the digestive organs and
the blood. In all scrofulOus diseases, it
is the most effective medicine ever offered
to the public; and, if given regularly and
perseveringly, those eruptive diseases
so common to children may be entirely
eradicated.

Bergh After Hog.Kulers.

New YORK, March 3.-Mr. Bergh sp.
peareG in the Common Pleas Court to-
day to show cause why an Injunction
against him restraining him from inter
teriDg with the business OF certain hog.
slaughterers should not be granted. The
affidavit Of one Of the firm states that he
is an expert in the slaughteting of hogs
In Chicago and elsewhere: He describes
how Bergh on the 18th of January came
into their abattoir and in clustering
manner put one o! their employees under
arrest, and swore by the gods that that
method ofkilliug hogs should cease. Their
method Is to swing the animal up by the
hind legs, sticking him in the throat
while In that position, thus causing almost
instantaneous death. The affidavit de-
scrlbes the advantages of this method,
among which are the thorough draining
Of blood from the carcass, which i'm
proves the quality Of the pork. Bergh
told them the animals should be killed
by stunning them. Tho defendants afl-
daVit states that the screams of the hogs
could bo heard long way of, and con-
tradicted the complaint The decision Of
the court was reserved.

license to preach. Bishop Potter gave
him license for this Diocese and Blshop
Littlejohn similar one for that OF Long

lures on frivolous subjects. The express.
ion Of broad church views by DR.. Parton

Eptscopalians In Brooklyn 10 secure the

final action was substantially as follows :
The committees unanimously agreed to
report TO their respective bodies which
will meet In May and June Of this year;
that the plan oi cooperation Is practical
so far as the leading features Of the eccles.
iastical work is concerned, especially that
relating to home and foreign missions and
the publication interest. No steps have

that this consumation will be realized at
