THE MATERIALIzED GHOST IS of the sort
 that will not down There are still many imaiahnzu@i @ that has been made in the Katie, King
 Wiihdsss sss srss EOlmaes a -manifS statfons 1ncOnsistencies in the
 testimony of Mrs. White, whe professes
 to have personated Katie, are discovered, ;
 and incidents connected with last sum
 mer's apparitions- are cited as remaining
 unexplained by the alleged exposure.
 Gen. Lippitt, who wrote long article on the subject for the Galaxy, makes long
 letter to Mir. Owen after this sort, and adduces things that are rathers hard ito ac1Dnns for from the young widows stofy; yet concludes by confessing that, if MT. Owen has recognized Katie as an every day woman, there's nothing more to be said on the subject. The Spiritual Scien- tist, a Boston journal of fair and open dis position, publishes card from Nelson Holmes, who asserts that, If the phenom- ena witnessed by them Mir. Owen and pr. Child were deception, we were as much deluded as they were. If 1t was a fraud, they also knew it as much as we did The Scientist also, like Gen. Lippitt, points out to Mir. Owen several points in his romantic Atlantic Monthly statement that are seemingly impossible to reconcile with the young widows story. Meantime let us note that smart young fellow in Boston has been doing in the easiest way things that MT. Hardy, a noted medium there, pretends are done by spirits, and that some one who is visiting all the me- diums Tn the city IS giving accounts Of them in the Scientist, to which we have just referred, which go far to prove them humbugs. Col. Olcott has lectured on the Eddy phenomena in the Roberts opera house in Hartford, and produced on the stage, by aid of costumer and several men and women, an imitation of one of the materialiZing seances which the audi ence were satisfied was full as interesting as those of the farm houses, even though divested of mystery. The colonel believes that all the so-called Spiritual mediums, including the Eddys, are more or less frauds; but he accepts the materializa- tions as genuine, because he hasn't found any other explanation that will fit them. And, to conclude these items of kindred gossip, let us note that Elder Evans, the Shaker, has written to the New York Fri bune, to gently remonstrate against it's cavalier treatment of the subject; to state that spiritual direction, received through Home, made Nicholas of Russia issue the ukase that freed the serfs, and that Lin coin and Stanton were confirmed Spiritu- alists; that the character of the mediums is irrelevant to the manifestations; and that those who think of testing the appa- ritions with powder and ball may do so, if their intent is sincere, but that, on the contrary, if they are not entirely honest in their quest, ''the missile might rebound and kill the sender" All which matters are respectfully submitted to an intelligent public.

Good Enough for Home.

WHEN | met Matte Simmons at her
cousins, in Philadelphia, last winter, [
thought her one of the neatest, prettiest,
brightest girls | had ever seen. She
would come into the breakfast-room in
nicely fitting dress, a jaunty white apron
with pockets in it, and a primrose tie,
with a smiling face to set them off.
Whenever you met her, her toilet was
CONNIE ID .faut, and her manners were

But lately paid visit to Mattie's own
home. What witch-work had wrought a
change in my darling? She wore the

lars. She hardly took the trouble to say

why, certainly not.'
" Then, Matte, dear, where are all your
pretty clothes gomez"
ooh, they are all in the house. think
old things are good enough for home,
Aunt Marjory."
A great many young ladies are of Mat
ties opinion. They consider anything fit
for father and mother to see. They take
no pains to be beautiful and attractive in
the household. And then they are sur
prised when their brothers think other
boys sisters nicer than themselves.
A girls dress and girls behavior at
home can hardly be too carefully designed.
There is a brusque candor about home
folks too often that makes it harder to be
good there than to be good on a visit.
But the daughter is the silver-clasp of the
family circle, and she should never forget
that it is her privilege to look pretty as
well as her duty.-Aasnt Maqjory, IN Chris

81 LOfe an Honest Pow

THERE'S German who keeps a corner
grocery in Keokuk, and he had call
from little boy the other night who had
been sent to get two-dollar bill changed.
The boy received the change and returned
home with it, when it was discovered that
there was quarter which was rather
ragged, though good, in the change,
and also that the quarter was just twenty
five cents more change than the folks who
sent the bill were entitled to. The boy
was sent back to return it, and of course
the ragged " fractional" was sent with
him. Entering the store and holding out
the ragged money, the boy said: "You
changed twodollar bill for me, here's a
quarter-" Our German friend, seeing
the ragged money and fancying he would
have TO take it back, interrupted the boy
by exclaiming: "Shanged nodinks!
shanged no pills nit you.''
Yes you did, and here's quar-
ter
