OUR ANSWER.

We have before us letter which,
Judging from the chirography, was
written by fair hands, in which,
after describing an evening with
mediums and spirits, she propounds
these puzzling questions What
do you think Of spiritualism?" Is
it tomfoolery, or not?" While we
are always willing and happy to an
swer the questions of our sub
scribers-at least those within the
range of our knowledge-still in
this case, Yankee like, we answer
by desiring information upon the
same subject. We have seen tables
jump, and furniture in general hop
about as if affected with the st.
Vitus dance, and have what the
mediums call reliable answers from
the other world. This may be at
tributed to some mechanism or
slight of hand familiar to the presti-
digitator, but to assert as our belief
that the spirit or soul revisits the
living after death would be to place
ourselves in a position we do not
care to occupy, and prefer leaving
the solution of this vexed question
to those more learned, but
fear the investigation will never
unravel the mystery sufficient
to establish it as fact. The monarch
Cyrus said upon his death-bed: 81
cannot persuade myself to think that
the soul of man, after having sus-
tanned itself in a mortal body, should
perish, when delivered out of it, for
want Of it, But in this, we are IN
clined to think, he had direct refer
ence to the great hereafter-the final
resting-place of the soul-not its re-
turn to this mundane sphere. Plato
believed . the soul is, and ever was,
immortal" and this would be oui
conclusion Of that philosophic idea
that man is simply bit Of clay

THE GREASER BANDIT DEAD.
A dispatch from stanwix, Arizona,

A dispatch from Stanwix, Arizona,
brings the welcome news that Chavez,
the lieutenant in the bandit gang of
Vasquez, was shot and killed at a
place called Texas Hill, near STAN
wix, on the 25th, by G. s. Calvig
The dispatch says: "Chavez came to
Bakers ranch on the ella, sixty
miles above Yuma, two months ago,
and commenced breaking horses for
Baker. He was indifferent as to
wages, but desired to be considered
as companion of Baker. Louis
Raggio, herder for King Wallsey
had known Chavez for years in Cali
fornia, and recognized him and re-
ported the fact to Calvig and Harry
Roberts. Yesterday morning they
came to Bakers camp for the pur-
pose of arresting him. Calvig come
on to Chavez with double-barreled
shotgun, ordering him to throw up
his hands; but instead of doing so
he ran for his arms, when Calvig
gave him the contents of the gun in
the back. Chavez died without
speaking" Chavez has made him
self living terror to the people of
his range, hanging them up and rob
bling them as they travelled the high
way, and cutting Threats with a relish
cultivated by long practice and sue
cessful escape of punishment. A re-
ward aggregating over 100000 was
offered for his head by the Governor
of California and private citizens,
and he has been hunted for months
at time by the shrewdest detectives
of the coast. Up to the date of his
death the little Greaser had success
fully defied his pursuers, and it is
more than likely that, had he reached
his arms, his captors would have paid
dearly for his corpse. 1t is to be
regretted that he was not taken alive
and given public execution from the
gibbet, as his tragic taking off,
during determined effort to escape,
leaves the impression with his friends
that he died hero, and among such
a class leaves sympathy with crime.
Now that both Captain Vasquez and
his Lieutenant have been got rid Of,
we may soon expect to hear another
name for the leader of what seems to
be an organized band of outlaws, the
death of whose two chief officers will
not be likely to cause them to dis
band.

A BEAUTIFUL EXTRACT.

Generation after generation" says
a fine writer, shave felt as we feel
now, and their lives were as active as
our own. They passed away like a
vapor, while Nature wore the same
aspect of beauty as when her Creator
commanded her to be. The heavens
shall be as bright over our graves as
they are now around our paths. The
world will have the same attraction
for our offspring yet unborn that she
conceived for ourselves, and that she
now has for our children. Yet a
little while and all will have hap
pened. The throbbing heart will be
stilled and we shall be at rest. Our
funeral will wend its way, and the
prayers will be said, and oIr friends
will all return, and we shall be left
behind in silence and darkness for
the worm. And it may be for short
time we shall be spoken of, but the
things of life will creep in, and our
names will be forgotten. Days will
continue to move on, and laughter
and song will be heard in the room
in which we died; and the eye that
mourned for us will be dried and
glisten with joy; and even our chill
dren will cease to think of us, and
will not remember to lisp our names.
Then shall we have become, in the
touching language of the Psalmist,
forgotten and gone out of mind"

GOLD.

A millionaire passed away the
other day. His wealth was enor-
nous, even estimated at 500, 900,
600. Yet when Death stretched
forth his chilly hand, his soul fol-
lowed the same route that many a
pauper has tread, and all his wealth
could not buy one moments vaca-
ton from that unknown bourne. "
His wealth was in part inherited
from his father, and he is said to
have exercised more than ordinary
business qualifications in its man
agement. While he did not equal
Peabody and few other kings of
gold, in magnificent gifts and dona-
tions, he was by no means mer-
cenary man. The founding of the
Astor Library, is in itself a monu-
ment as perpetual as the volumes
it contains, not only of his liberal
ity, but Of his judgment and taste.
He is said to have been man of re-
firing disposition, prefering his
home and family to the gaudy dis
play. which he might have made
with his great wealth; being also a
man of superior education, and
some literary attainments, we can
imagine his preference for the quiet
of his library, and the intercourse
of few chosen friends. to the sense
less society of the golden-winged,
and acknowledgement butterflies
which ioften constitute the larger
portion of metropolitan upper-ten.
Gold Gold Gold Gold
Good or bad a thousand-fold
How widely its agencies vary"
With his gold he might have done
more to alleviate the suffering of
the homeless poor that begged and
died in the city of his birth, and
may be often from his own houses;
he might have erected and endowed
asylums for poverty-stricken or
phans, whose wan cheeks were
never blessed by mothers warm
breath he might have made homes
for the homeless old women and
men, and to those worn and weary
pilgrims, tottering on the TIRES
hold Of death, have brought some
days of ease, and some hours when
the bright visions of youth, fitting
through their tired brain, would
turn to words of prayer and bless
ings for him who had lightened their
load. These things he might have
done, and his name would have
been blazoned forth as a public
benefactor, but what deeds of I'M
ostentatious charity his left hand
gave unknown to his right, few can
know. But now that he has passed
away where the clink of gold is
never heard, let us hope they were
of sufficient number to have soothed
the slumber that robbed him of his
financial greatness, and left him no
richer than the humblest of our
poor before the throne of God.

EUREKA, Nov. 27.
Another fearful accident occurred
at the Eureka Consolidated Mine on
Ruby Hill this afternoon. While
the cage was being lowered down
the mine the reel shaft suddenly
broke precipitating the cage down
to the seventh level. John McGin-
mes, shift boss, was on the cage
with some heavy t;mbers. He was
instantly killed, the body being hor-
ribly, mangled. When the cage
struck the seventh level station the
timbers became loosened and were
hurled down the shaft TO the bottom.
Hugh Holmes and Tom McConakan
were struck by the falling timbers
and Holmes had both legs broken,
McConakan, less fortunate, received
internal injuries which will prove
fatal.

Rev. Dunn, assisted by Rev. Link
letter, has been holding a series of meet
ing i'm the Christian Church during
the past two weeks. There meetings
have been well attended, and a few
persons have been united with the
Church.
Rev. Wright commenced a protract-
ed meeting in the Methodist Church
On last Monday evening. We under
stand that Rev. Rodgers Of Bellaire
will assist him part of the time.
Mr.. Maxwell died on the Sth inst.
He was in his 93d year, and excepting
Mr. Beans he was the oldest man in
town.
Mr.. Guss Buck, the well known
huckster, died very suddenly on last
Saturday evening. He had just re-
turned from Wheeling somewhat un-
der the Influence of liquor, and on go
ing up the steps from the dining hall in
the Eagle Hotel fell backwards down
the steps and lived but a few seconds.
The general opinion is that death was
caused by apOpleXy, as he was very
corpulent, and his appearance after
death also indicated that that was the
cause of his death. He was an unmar-
ried man and leaves some personal
property.
The Novelty Comedy Company
