Robert Dale Owen does not lose faith in Spirit
ualism because the Katie King NATURALIZATION
proved to be a humbug. He gays the possibility
of a real naturalization OF spirits is a question Of
the ages. St. Paul decided in the Affirmative,
and based Christianity on the decision. Christ
was not risen, he said, /" if the dead rise not -
and, if the dead rise not, he declared the faith of
his co-belieyers to be in vain. He may have been
wrong. The dead may not return in material
form, as the evangelists tell us that Christ did.
We may be fated never to stand on the same plat
form of evidence for the immortality of man as
did the apostles and some of the early disciples.
He says, " this question Of spirit-visitants could
never have been definitely decided without being
probed to the bottom. Once awakened to it,
possibility, the world will never rest till it is es-
tablished or exploded. / have during a long life
engaged, sometimes successfully, in a good many
of what were pronounced hopeless tasks and,
very certainly, 1 shall prosecute this to the end.
There are researches in which, if not pains and
industry be spared, honestly to fail is as reputa-
bic as to succeed in others. Nor, because of one
bluuder, have l lost faith in myself. Our fail
ures often teach better lessons than our successes.
Like Coleridge's wedding guest, if a sadder man,
! may also have become a wiser one. / think it
would be rather difficult for a second Holmes to
pull the wool over my eyes"

A Walk Around the World.

Mr.. Mark Grason, of Richmond, Va, is now
in this city training for the p~rodigious and hitherto
uninterrupted feat of walking around the world:
Several weeks ago Mr.. Grason, backed by Leon
Mccarthy, entered into a wager of S25 900 with
j. p. Wilkinson and Thomas l.. Murdoch 1.-THE
parties being all from Richmond, Va that he
could walk around the world in 600 days. The
distance to be included in the entire route is 49,
226 miles, which will make a daily average of a
little over thirty-two miles. Under the terms of
the agreement, which have been accepted and
signed, Grason is to start from the City Hall, New
York, on Saturday, April 3, 1875, and to return
to the same place Thursday, November %, 1876.
Part of his trip will be on the ocean steamers,
during which time he will make up his daily
average by walking on shipboard. He will be
accompanied by Mr.. Mccarthy and some persons
to be sent out by the other parties to the wager.
The exceptions included in the agreement are de-
lays occasioned by assault or unavoidable acct
dents. Mr.. Grason is twenty-eight years old, five
feet seven inches high, weighs 139 pounds, and
has been known In Richmond in the various ca
pacities of an actor, author, and pedestrian.
During the excitement created by Weston's walks,
he started out in the pedestrian line, and soon &C
complished a walk of 100 miles IN twenty-four
hours. During the Seymour and Blair campaign,
in 1868, he walked from Richmond to Omaha,
Neb., a distance Of about 1900 miles. He car
ried the Stars and Stripes, and made l23 Demo-
cratic speeches on the way at various places. lie
now claims to be the champion pedestrian of tho
world.
