The Bridgeport (Conn.) Farmer says that
city possesses wonderful materlaliziDg me-
dunn. The story is as follows:
"It was only few weeks ago that the
person to whom we refer became conscious
of bis peculiar powers, but since the disco
very be has continued to exercise them, and
they have rapidly developed. Thus far the
scances have been held in the presence Of a
small party Of his acquaintances, in dark
ened room, which. with the exception OF q
small table, is utterly destitute OF furniture.
No believer in spiritual>m ta' yet attended
these siltingS, Sd that it cInnot be said that
any of his audience were unduly prepared
10 give credence TO the genuineness OF the
manifestations, and yet all Of the spectators
with whom we have converSed are con-
WINGED that there was no COLLISION or trick.
cry in the effects produced. One of the
remarkable feats performed by the spirits Is
the bringing upon the table supply OF fresh
tropical flowers. The tl)wcrs eXnale belu-
tiful fragrance, are fresh with dew, and OF
varieties which cannot be procured 10 this
vicinity. The members OF the circle, the
other evening, were also reg1led with Splen-
did cigars dropped upon the table by spirit
visitors. and the medium himself was re.
fire., he'd day or two ago with plate of ice
cream furnished by the same mysterious
agency. The medium can also material za
the spirits so that they become visible to
those in the room. The spirits also play on
musical instruments and write messages on
the wall and table, which TO the ordinary
observers are mere hieroglyrhics, but to The
spiritual vision of the medium are really
Ineligible. This is only small part OF
what we are assured has been accom-
plished, but it serves TO Indicate the
marvellous character OF the whole. We do
not pretend to relate the above rs facts. or eX-
pect that they will receive general credence,
but arc publicly convinced OF the honesty
Of intention and good faith Of our inform
ants. The medium is 4 tailor by occupation,
and, it is said, could not accomplish feats
mentioned by sieight of hand, even If deslrous
OF so doing. He is only twenty-five years OF
age, and his associates and employer say he
is perfectly frauk and honest. He was never
previously interested in spiritutli$m, and
found out his capabilities only by accident.
lie decidedly objects to notoriety, and does
not intend 10 give any public exhibitions,
and says be soon intends TO relinquiSh all in
tercourse with the spirit world"

YOUNG ITALIAN KILLS HIMSELF WHILE IN
DCLGtEG IN A DRAMATIC RECITATION.
NEW YORK, September lat clam bake
given by Congressman ODell, at which other
congressman and prominent persons were
present, a young Italian named Vianni, Of
the Italian Minister'S suite, and belonging to
q prominent family in Rome, committed sui
eide under very singular circumstances.
DR.. Doremus, one of The guests, announced
that Mr. Viauni. who possessed very re-
markable dramatic talent, would favor the
company with an Italian recitation in mita-
ton of Rachel. The young Roman took u
position in the centre of the group and be-
gan his recitation. His voice was clear and
well.controled, his gesicuIations highly
dramatic, and his limbs seemed to culver
with passion, while the expression of his
face was startling. Once he interrupted
himself, and turning 10 Senator John A.
King be said, "You understand Italian -!
Then he resumed and finished with the
exclamation, in Italian, "Gcd, who judges
all, will Judge this" He then took pistol
from an outer pocket OF his coat and placing
it to his temple fred. He fell partly on his
lace, and remained perfectly motionless. The
spectators exclaimed wonderful" and the
applause commenced, when DR.. DoremuS
rushed forward, eXc'aimng: I" Great God,
gentlemen, he is killed !" Many at first
thought this part of the entertainment, but
OF lifting the body the horrible truth became
manifest.
Dr.. Ellis made an examination. probed the
wound, and pronounced the case hopeless.
He lived half an hour, but never spoke. No
cause Is assigned for the terrible act.

fOrnfa.
SAN FRANCISCO September 1.-Nolbing
authentic has been learned concerning the
resumption of the Bank Of California. During
the latter part of this evening many reports
have been heard about town to the effect that
the bank will start 10 few days, and that
seven or eight million dollars have been SUBJ
scribed tor that purpose, and that the whole
matter has been decided.
All such statements must be received with
due caution, as tending to induce q feeling
of certainty which the facts do not warrant
as yet. Such assertions are only tracsd to
street-tslk. That they have TO great extent
been received 80 correct, and have produced
an additional feeling Of confidence, is un-
deniabIe; but they should not be accepted as
authoritative.
Flood & UBrieD have employed extra
force on the Nevad, Bunk building, and are
hurryiDg 1t 10 completion.
REPORTS have gained credence that an an.
alysis Of the stomach of President Ralston
has evinced evidence of poison. The Coro.
ner this evening states emphaticalIy that no
sign 10 that 6lfect has been given, and that
the assumption is entirely gratusous.
NOPE sPECULATIoSs.
SAN FRANCISCO, september This being
electivn.day the binks and many other places
Of business are clo'cd.
Nothing new ia reference to the Bank OF
California. The Chronicle this morning
publishes positive statemen! that the bank
has reliable assets to the amount Of $4,000.
900 and nominal assets to the amount OF $40.
600, 900. with an indebtedness of $4,000, 900
and coin % the value Of 1850, 600; that q
guarantee of five TO ten millions is nearly all
pledged, and that resumption is assured i'm.
mediately. Similar statements are being
spread abroad. All such assurances are
premature, according to the information
from headquarters.
