An effort is being made to rcorganize the
Philadelphia Club, and It is to be hoped that it
WILL be successful, provided the people dig up
new set OF men to run it, and one different from
any lately known in ball circles in Philadelphia.
Among all the suggestions ~ which have
been made this year, none have been more en-
ttrely nonsensica1 than the following from Phil
adclphia: End the scason Oct. 1; let more
clubs into the League; make the series five

which distinguishes its statements Of facts, saws
that the following is the best fielding niue In the
country: Bradley, pitcher: Snyder, catcher;
Fisler, first base; Burdock, second base; Battin

among pitchers, Snyder fifth among catchcrs,

second IN his position, Mack third in bis, Ryan
nineteenth among fielders, Eggler eighth, and
Biong twelfth. These figures are based on the

4 SPIRITUAL STORY.

The Spiritual Scientist tells the following:
<sCol. L., an English officer living In Paris on
halEpay, intrusted some very important and
valuable documents to the keeping Of B., q
Frenchman, who occupied the rooms immed-
atelY below those occupied BY Col. 4. In the Rue
de F., and who was supposed by the latter to be
a safe and confidential friend; but B., dishonest
" intending to use those documents for his own
benefit, subsequently refused to restore them to
Col. A., and, ut length, denied having received
them.
"Owing to certain circumstances Of the case,
It was impossible for Col. 4. to recover his prop
erty by legal means; and, having exhausted ar
eument and persuasion in the vain cndcavor to
induce B. to give up the papers, he determined
to evoke him, with the aid Of Mr.. c., N English
friend Of his, who, like himself, was powerful
magnetizer, medium, aud firm believer in the
feasibility Of such evocation. Having fixed on
night for their attempt, the Colouel and Mr.
C., being religious men, passed the preceding
day together, preparing themselves By prayer,
meditation, and fervent appeals to their spirit
guardians for help and guladence in the act they
had in view.
i At about midnight they heard B. enter bis
rooms. They waited until they supposed him
to be thoroughly wrapped In slumber, and then
soemnly called upon his spirit to present n1m-
self, bringing all their power OF Will 10 Inc TASK
OF compelling him to come to them. lremen-
dpus blows were almost Immediately struck ny
some unseen agency upon the table, Which was
violently pushed about; and the author OF this
disturbance, interrogated BY the evokera, de-
manded, through the hand OF Mr. g. "a writing
mclium), what they wanted Of himf
1.-THE two evokcrs insisted that B. should tell
them wherc he had deposited tue stolen papers,
and B. obstinateIy refused to give the 1n1orna-
tion demanded, jerking the mediums hand
about, or beating it violently against the table,
breaking the pencil tearing the paper, and ILL
ing the room with strange noises until, var
oulshed BY the supcri,ur fudic force Of the
eyokers aud their spirit hepcrs, he confessed
that he had placed tnem in 8 secret drawer,
opened by spring, in a cabinet, which be de-
scribei, il o room o1 which he gave the address,
in the Rue dc D. lin Il distant quarter Of the

TEE DAY OF THE DEAD.

A Paris letter to the Philadelphia Telegraph
says: Wednesday being All Saints Day, and
yesterday the Day Of the Dead lie Jour des
Morts), the usual annual pilgrimage IN the ceu-
eteries, to lay wreaths and bouquets On the
graves, and to say prayers beside them, took
place. 1t is truly our Decoration Day on
universal scale As the weather was superb
the crowd, always very great, vas something pro-
digious. It has been estimated that there were
over 400 600 visitors to the different cemeteries
The greatest throng was, Of course, at the vast
burial grounds OF Pere Lachaise and Mont
martre, but even the simplest and most retired
cemetery could boast of number Of visitors.
This natural aud pious custom Of dedlcating one
day In the year to the commemofatiop Of the
beloved dead has been made for years past the
vehicle in Paris OF political demonstrations, par
ticularly under the Second Empire Many per
around the grave OF Cara.gnac in 1857, and
of Baudin, the murdered Republican Dep
uty, in 1858, when the VAST and
gorgeous structure Of the Empire was

splendid recuanbent figure it, bronze, Of the dy-
ing Deputy, executed BY Millet, which .adorns

entirely concealed by tile pile Of wreaths that
had been showercd upon it. The tombs OF the
Generals, Clement, Thomas, and Leeomte, who
were murdered at the outbreak OF the Com

from the soldiers. The vault wherein Rossini
