in the last become literally spread out
into luminous masses resembling ne
bul8. Another set Of three is very
curious. The first has an obllque
flowing; in the second, this has changed
to white serpentine column, ending IN
point above the mediums head; in
the third, the column has become
broader and somewhat double, with the
curve in the opposite direction, and
with a head-like termination. The
change Of the curvature may have
some connection with a
change in the position of the
sittels, which is seen to have taken
place between the second and the third
of this set. There are two others,
taken, like all the preceding, in 1872,
bnt.whichv the medium described dur,
ingxhe exposure. The first, he ssaid,
was thick white fog; and the picture
came out all shaded white. with not q
trace Of any of the settlers. The other
was described as fog with a figure
standing in it. and here white human
figure is alone seen in the almost UNI
form foggy surface. During the expe-
|zimentssmade in 1873, the .mApinmp IN

scribed the appearances which after
wards came out on the plate. In one
there is luminous-rayed star Of large
size with human face family visible N
the center. This is the last of three
in which the star developed, and the
whole were accurately described by the
medium. In anoth + set Of three, the
medium first described "a light behind

ments. the nature of which is alread,
sufficiently indicated; but one yer,

The Decision i'm the Cheney.Wkite--
house case Of Illinois.

Judge Williams of the Circuit of llli-
nois in his decision of Saturday on the
Cheney w hitehouse case, made the.
following points:
That the property though originally
taken in the name Of the trustees, WAS
in fact taken for the benefit of all who.
should be attached to the discipline and
wosrhip Of the Protestant Episcopal
church; and that the property was held
for the benefit of the Protestant Episco
pal church and not for . low church
party.
That all churches in the United
States are regarded in law as voluntary
societies and the laws and rules Of the
church organization are regarded as
the stipulations existing between the
parties.
That the existing canons were the,
stipulations by which Cheney agreed
to be tried. ebe
That church court more nearly re-
sembles court Of arbitration than .
civil tribunal, and that ~ law govern
ing similar arbitrations al arbitrators
must be present ct the hearing.
That the court for the first trial of
Cheney consisted Of five assessors and,
four only being present at the trial and
final decision, that it was not . court
within the meaning Of church canon,
and its action was void and that upon
the second trial the court had no juris-
diction over the subject matter and it's
decision was also void that the Bishop
had no power to sentence except in pur-
suance Of finding of the church court,
and such findings being invalid his SEN
fences were also void, and Mr.. Cheney
was never legally deposed from the min
istry.
