THE Nashville American, ais

THE Nashville American, dis
cussing the subject of modern So
called spiritualism, says;
II is time, however, that the gross form
of superstition known as spiritualism
were given way for some new form. The
superstition OF men, like their doublets,
follow the fashion. The prevailing mode
is as much potent in snperstitions as is
the cut of a coat. 1t is q little singular.
therefore, that we find a convention of
spiritualists met in Memphis to consider
the other world, and bother like mum.
bling maniacs over puerilities and inani-
ties. Spiritualism has received many q
sharp blow. Exposure has followed ex-
posture, and not one of the mediums that
has not been shown to be a plain, poorly
vanished deception, The advantage they
have is that the devotees, who are deter
mined TO find a solution for the unknown
in spiritual folly = so called spiritual
will believe il spite of the mediums,
in spite of the so.oalled spirits, in spite
of their own better instincts. Not one
OF them has ever seen a ghost, CT had a
truly marvellous revealing Of the other
world, or an important revelation as to
this one, and yet they believe, and like
TitaIia who saw beauty and love in the
asinine Bottom, they see angelic mes
sengers in fraudulent mediums aud wit
ness in shallow tricks thinly yelled evil
denee Of the spirit land. At least one
OF the victims OF the Memphis circle of
blockheads is an inmate Of the State
Asylum, and yet they are not morally
responsible Tor his insanity. Non com.
pos themselves, they we're only the blind
agents Of superstition.

New YORK, November IA letter
from Key West giving the experiences
Of the United States steamer Ossippe, in
the storm Of the 18th and Goth of 0cto.
Der, says the men in getting about the
decks to attead to their duties were
thrown violently from their feet and
blinded by the salt spray, end they we're
obliged to 20 cropping about as If they
were in total darkness, They could only
stick to their stations by the most des-
perate struggling against the matches,
gratings, doors, deck buckets, and many
other articles that we're being swept back
and forth across the decks by the rush
ing OF the water as the ship rolled and
tossed. Breathing was difficult, and the
air taken into the lungs was so loaded
with sea salts that it caused excessive
irritation, producing violent coughing
and vomiting, The suffering of the men
was most intense, especially among the
iremen and coal beavers, who were not
only deprived of ventilation, but obliged
to inhale the salt water steam produced
by the seas rushing into the fre-room.
1t was then thought advisable to en-
courage the men by the use Of
stimulants, aud the surgeon found a
sufficient quantity to give all hands
a lot each, and sent it to the cabin to be
distributed. The effect of the storm on
the animals on board was peculiar. Cats
disappeared the morning before the
and we're not seen for five days
afterwards. The dog Daniel, a splendid
pointer, owned by the captain, exhibited
the greatest dread at being let alone,
and was only appeased when some one
was patting him. The hens and turkeys,
the most hungry and |voracious
and qusrrelsome beasts on board, forgot
their hunger, and barely opened their
eyes when food was thrown them. Two
birds, babos, a species of pelican, came
on board while we we're lying in the vor-
lex. They must have been drawn down
while attempting TO fly wei US The
parrot was the only thing which at all
seemed TO enjoy the surroundings.

EVEN as the Republicans began
to make excuses for defeat just
before the Indiana election, so they
are preparing to fall as easily as
possible on the 18th of November.
Seeing hat New York State will
give Tilden an overwhelming ma
jority, the Troy Times, a red-hot
Republican paper, says:
1t was expected from the first that
the Democracy in its desperation would
employ any and every agency to carry
the election, but the country was not
prepared to witness such an organized,
shameless, aud outrageous crusade
against The integrity of the bsllot-box
If the Republicans lose this election, it
will be because OF fraudulent votes. II
Governor Tilden be elected, it will be
because the shotgun in the South and
the Illegal voter in the North join in the
same hunt.
