way has the following about the last
hours of Miss Msr.ineau in a letter from
London to the Cincinnati Commercial:
II have recently heard from Q friend
" ho visited Harriet Msrtinesu in her
last days, that the venerable authoress
was quite resolute in her philosophical
opinions TO the end She had Just been
shown letter asking If she believed in
Immortality and she replied; l have
no reason 10 believe in another world.
l have had enough of life in one, and
can see no good reason why Harriet
Martineau should be perpetuated.' She
had never the slightest belief in spirit
ualism, but was believer in magnetism
and psychic force. and she continued
her correspondence with Mr. Atkinson.
This gentleman has sent the more im-
portant of his letters from her TO Mrs.
Chapman. Of Boston, United States,
who will write 3 biography of Miss
MArtineau. The old lady had not gone
out beyond her garden for seventeen
years when she died. She WAS always
cheerful, read the magazines and news
papers diligently, and talked much of
her old friends"

which proves the company to be strictly
