To THE EDITOR or The ByLtErIs:- -
imagine that your remarks in this morn
ing's BULLETIN are meant for a coup de
grace but notwithstanding / am here
again. l am sorry TO say that the editor
has talked a great deal without really say.

failing iu the gentleman. | see, as / have
often seen before, that it is gigantic task
to bring him TO any point. e., to get
him to say decidedly that SO and SO Is n

did say 80 IL was with mental rcserva-

as many colors az the'spectrum, and las the
unduations never have impingcd him ex-

to champion DIR. Brigham in contest
with the editor. A champion is something
Of which the doctor has no need wish

and think il was fairly made, and the
people will decide tor themselves whether
the ran.ing Of the editor did anything 10
disprovc the ideas advanced.
Suppose DIR. Brigham dill not intend to
create any Impression n regard to unseen
forces in nature, what has the ebulliton
OF the editor to do with il? lie take.

will take similar pains 10 say that DR..
Brigham weld fully as able pen a the
editor--not that | would, for moment,
take the trouble 60 compare &c with the
| editor-but just 10 intimate that there are
people outside Of the editorial fraternity
| who are entirely competent to speak OF
literary illusions and the writers there
of.
Next ia order in the editors remarks
comes tumble OF sensations, (the editor
is too obtuse to feel any impingings, "a

editor.)
The tumble could DO disentsnglei easy
enough for the editor, but it would DO u
waste of time to do So. Hs has 50 much
hay seed in his hair, tina. his logical
acumen tends entirely toward the way to

| When you say that "the illustration
from Prof Tyndal is familiar to us, E-C
thinks that this particular assertion is o
little stretch Of the Imagination One
really conversAnt with that discover,
would have spoken Of it in moro modes,
way.
Your assertion Chat there is no con
nection--none whstever-between the i'm
pinging Of undulstions and unknown
forces in nature" Is Q most lamen Ia 10 dis
play Of ignorance, la fact did not ex.
poet such show OF bigotry, oven from
q journalist. A force in nature may bt

l don't know DR.. Brigham
but do know tina. ho i,
more knowing sbou. science

| am in search of the sparkling cry..
tals of tho beautiful Sea of Mystery. Blu,
if l succeed in finding any shall no,
show them to the editor Il. il sin &c
throw pearls to the swine.
We arc not sure that the editor has ever
stood by tho shore Of that beautiful sea
If he did no could not hear and see
-"the crystals running by"
They do not run, but are hidden 80 deity
that it is only by the mighty eIertions OF
man, in his nobility of soul, that ,hey car

l am glad tho editor has perception
enough to see that when people talk about
science they do not necessarily attack re-
| ligion.
Now, Mr.. Editor, revive the stomach
OF your sense by internally impinging
some fluctuations, and please publish my
epistle promptly. I.want to SEQ how il
looks. l am not woman, but call me
as you like. Anyhow ! am E-c.
