THE COURTHOUSE MEDIUMS.

M uhO Va ssAO NAs@@AhASSs~
The Spirits Pronounce the
Sheriff Medium.
The manifestations at the Court
house continue to be attractive. The
Sheriff's Office is thronged almost every
evening with persons DESTROYS of wit
Messing the exhibitions of the mediums.
Last evening a representative of the
SILVER STATE and another skeptic
called on the Sheriff and asked to see
the performance, if the mediums were
willing to give an exhibition of their
powers. Having signified willingness
to proceed, the room was well lighted
and table placed in the center at
each end of which, facing each other,
the mediums took seats, and placed
their hands. palm downwards on its up
per surface. In few moments ner-
vous twitching was apIarent ill
the arms of the operators, one of
whom moved away from the table and
asked the spirits if there were any
present to move the table on two legs,
to which it responded by moving
across the room as directed, the medi-
um who kept his hands on the table
during the performance exhibiting
symptoms of fatigue at it's close. The
table was again placed in the center of
the room, and the two skeptics, whose
combined weight exceeded 800 pounds,
sat on it. One of the mediums again
placed his hands on the end of the
table, as before, and the other, who
was off some distance, asked the spirits
to throw the skeptics off. In an in
slant the table commenced swaying
from side to side, and Notwithstanding
the efforts of the skeptics to retain
their seats, SO violent was the agi:a-
ton that they were shaken off, one
falling heels upwards on the
floor. A third time the table
was placed in position. and the
spirits requested to indicate if
there were any other mediums present
than those already known to be such,
by moving the table in the direction in
which they sat. The table Immediately
moved toward the Sheriff, and crowd
\ folinu.n1 ,y,
across the room. The officer, alarmed
at its manifestation, took refuge behind
q chair, with which lie endeavored to
keep it off, which seemed to provoke
| the spirits, and lively skirmish en-
sued, in which the table was getting
decidedly the best of it. AS the contest
grew fierce, and seemed likely to result
seriously, those present grabbed the
medium and raising his hands off the
table brought the combat to an abrupt
termination, The principal medium
is young man who says he never saw
any table-tippiDg, and never knew that
| he was medium until last week. lie
| says he has no idea what it is that
canses the table 10 move, and is uncon-
scious Of what is going on at the time.
He feels exhausted after the perform
ance. and is exceedingly anxious to
have the matter Investigated by persons
capable OF explaining the cause. His
hands became cold the moment he
placed them on the table, while the
perspiration stood in large drops on
his forehead. One night he appeared
to be surcharged with electricity, and
by putting his hand, while in bed, on
an adjoining bunk, shook it so that its
occupant rolled on to the floor. He
cannot account for the phenomenon,
but is firm in the belief that spirits
have nothing to do with it.

GAUNT FAMINE IN OUR MIDST.
The City Council Recommends the
Organization by the Citizens of
Relief Committee.
Immediate Action Imperative.

We earnestly invite the attention of those
of our citizens who are blessed with means to
the subject which prompted the following
resolution by the City Council. 1t would be
a sad commentary on the reputation for
charity which has been so long accorded to
our people by the whole country, if We stood
idly by and saw hundreds of our fellow be-
ings actually starving while we are in compa-
rative ease, and did not stretch forth our
hands to assist them. Let us, then, "be up
and doing" the good work will surely pros
per if proper energy be applied:
MAyORALTY OF New ORLEANS,
New Orleans, April 90, 1875.
The City Council in Committee of the
Whole has adopted the following resolution,
viz:
Resolred, That the attention of the citizens
of New Orleans is invited to the reports Of
restitution and suffering in the city.
In view Of the utter inability Of the City
Administration to provide funds for relief,
the subject is referred to the citizens of New
Orleans, with the earnest recommendation
that a relief association be organized for the
purpose of relieving absolute distress; with
the assurance that the members of the Coun-
Gil will confer with and assist such organiza-
ton by any means in their power.

NEW ORLEANS, FRIDAY, APRIL 80, 1875.

passing in front of a large body of Federal
prisoners, who had CALAMITY defended posi-
ton which considered indispensable to us.
took Oh my hat to them and they answered
this salutation with cheers.
Terribly as I desired the effects Of the war
to fall on all armed invaders Of our country,
l wanted exempted from them the non-com-
batants, that is the old men, women and chill
dren; and wished, also, that private property,
not contraband Of war, and not needed by
the contending armies in the field, should be
entirely protected from seizure or destruction.
Such would have been my course had pene-
trated with an army into Federal territory,
unless it were in str ct retaliation for material
departures by the Federal forces from this
civilized mode of carrying on the war.

threatened to shoot any person who ap-
preached with hostile intent and declared he
would die before he would be arrested. Three

A RARE OPPORTUNITY.

1t is still fresh in the memory of old turtles
how CALAMITY Louisiana showed to the front
in the great State Post Stake years agone,
when Lexington, Lecompte, Hornpipe and
Arrow contested for the grand four-mile event
and large sums of money unexpectedly
changed hands The fertile hills and blue
rass valleys of Louisiana on that occasion
showed their breeding we'll to the front, and
owing, perhaps, to the late disastrous war, a
fair opportunity has not been offered for q
similar trial of speed between Louisiana
stock and all corners.
An opportunity is now offered to those who
can indulge in the luxury of stock raising to
regain the time honored prestige of our State
turf. Mr.. Charles T. Howard, after much
persuasion, has concluded to dispose of his
valuable stable Of imported racers in order
that our breeders might have the opportunity
of improving the thoroughbred stock of
our State. Those valuable stations, King
Amadeus, four years old, by King of Trumps,
dam Amethyst; and the imported chestnut
colt Storm, by Thunderbolt, dam Killarney;
are to be offered to breeders for a song. The
King is offered for the tritle of five hundred
dollars, and Storm for seven hundred and
fifty dollars.
These horses cost in England more than
thrice this amount, and to those who propose
either in this State or Texas to breed from
royal blood we can say no such an opportu-
nifty will be offered in the future for such a
bargain. These stations were imported here
directly from England, and have flowing in
their veins the best racing blood of the world.
Those who desire to inspect those equine
beauties, should visit the Louisiana Jockey
Club track at once.
The New Orleans bulletin. [volume] (New Orleans [La.]) 1874-1876, 1875-04-30

An exhibition is now taking place of the
collection of upward of one thousand tapes
tries of different kinds which exists at the
Royal Palace of Madrid. They are the most
important in Europe. The oldest specimens
are those which belonged to Ferdinand and
Isabella, Philip le bel, and the Emper
Charles V; after these, those of the other
Spanish kings Of the House of Austria, and
the Spanish Bourbons, and ending by those
which were copied from the cartoons of Goya
and others at the carpet mandatory founded
by Charles ILL., which still exists at Madrid.
These tapestries are store away in the
vaults of the palace, and are well preserved.
During the reign of the Queen, Isabella, it
was customary to cover with tapestry
the four sides Of the gallery OF the
first floor Of the palace on certain religi-
Gus festivities of the year, or at the christen-
ings or marriages Of the Spanish princes.
These were the only occasions on which the
public were ever allowed to see the
eighty or hundred specimens which
were displayed. After the revolution Of
September, 1868, these periodical ex-
hibitions ceased, or were almost entirely
reduced to the few regal ceremonies which
took place during the short reign of King
Amadeus. A plan was formed to make mu-
scum Of the tapestries at the Escurial, and a
commission was appointed to carry it out.
The finest were taken there; but this was
never realized, and the tapestries were safely
brought back to Madrid.-Neu York Sun.
