STRANGE MANIFESTATIONS.

Fife IN Minutes With An ln7isible P5wsr.
Charles II. Foster, of New York, nov tempo
rary resident at 20 Thirteenth street northwest,
entertained, instructed, and assonished few
Newspaper men last night with display of his
"mediunistic" abilities. Mr.. Foster, while claim
ineIto be Spritualst does not assert his religious
belief during hiE eeances, but announces that he
is controlled by some invisible power or some un-
known agency, which produces results beyond the
capacity Of the human mind to explain.
There was no doubt among those who were
present In his parlors last night that this claim
was fully sustained. Not only did he read the
paper and closely folded by his visitors, so that
the writing could not be seen by him, but without
assuming to be in a trance, he mentioned others
whose names had been so written and folded. This
feat, il 1t may be so called, apparently disposed
Of the theory that any psychological power had
been invoked, and made 1t plain that Mr.. Foster
did not rely upon what is commonly called "mind-
reading" to accomplish It.
The "spirits," or whatever the influence was,
conversed through him categorically and with
such satisfactory precision in answering ques.
tions rs to shake skepticism and confirm the be-
lief Of the few believers who were present. Not
only did he read hidden names, as above de-
scribed, but he answered long written questions,
correctly announced the diseases of which those
who had "passed on" had died, gave Information
seemingly revealed the joint secrets Of both the
living and the dead. Without attempting a
further description, or any explanation of this
wonderful performance it is sufficient to say that

OF Public Interest.

For thirty years there has teen noimp.ovem II t
in the composition Of porous plaster. The re-
cen: discovery of Capcine ard its addition to an
improved porous plaster has introduced to the
consumers and the public an article of progress.
The objection to the ordinary article Is its slow
action. BENsoN'S CAPCINE PORoUS PLASTER
overcomes this great objection by etfecting in q
few hours what the ordinary porous plaster ac-
ccmplisbcs in days and weeks Of continuous wear.
BENsoN's CAPCINE Porous PLAsTERs are pre-
ferred to all others on the following grounds:
First-Their composition is of an Improved na.
ture, and combined with the recently
discovered vegetable PrincipIs-Cap-
specific, has never been equaled IN the
history Of true medicine. They operate
with astonishing vigor, bring almost in
mediate relief, and cure more speedily
and with greater certainty than any
known plaster, liniment or compound.
Second-They possess all the merit OF tho Ordi-
nary porous plaster with above addition,
and will cure all the various difficultIes
for which they have been esteemed in as
many hours as the ordinary article
effects In days and weeks OF continuous
wear.
Third-They are genuine pharmaceutical pre-
paration, skilifully combined, of the
highest order OF merit, purely vegetable,
contain neither metal nor mineral
poisons indorsed by physicians, and are
In no sense patent medicine.

NAVY Yard Notes.

Tie United States steamer Dispatch, Com
mander Fred. Rodgers, arrived at the navy yard
yesterday from Baltimore, Nd. This vessel has
been stationed at the latter port for some time
past as a recruiting ship for boys, and when a
sufficient number were enlisted they were taken
to the schooLship Minnesota, at New York.
The working force of the navy yard is smaller
st the present time than 1t has been since the
war broke out The foundry attached to the de-
partment of steam engineering and the boiler
shop are closed altogether, while other shops are
only working few men.
Eighth street, from Pennsylvania avenue to
the navy yard is in q very filthy condition. The
surface OF the pavement has not been cleaned
since 1t was laid about four months ago, which
makes the crossing Of the thoroug hfare very diff
cult.
The ladies Of the Mite Society OF Christ church
are making active preparations to give dramatic
entertainment in the little chapel attached to the
church On the evening OF the 18th instant. The
objects of the society are to help the poor and

A Pious Fraud.

youag Englishmap, about thirty years OF
age, came TO this city last Wednesday and be-
gan immediately to look about for some one to
victimiZe. His name is John Allison, and as his
appearance was rather seedy he wisely concluded
that his first operation ought to be to secure
some new clothes. With this view he visited the
residence Of Mr.. N. r. Eoss and represented that
he had secured position IN Mr.. Francs furnish
ing store on the Avenue, and that he would like
q new coat to improve his appearance. He also
told Mr.. Boss how good he was, and how he had
been superintendent Of the inn connected with the
Baltimore Y. NJ. T.. A. for over three months
MT. Boss's feelings were excited and he agreed to
furnish the man with q coat, but, meanwhile, It
was discovered that Mr.. Franc had never heard
of Allison, and that the latter was a fraud. He
was arrested by Officer SRoot. On his person
was found letter, addressed to ladywh0 keeps
a boarding house, to which Mr.. Francs name
was signed, representing him as becoming re-.
spCnsIDle for All!son's board.
