Captain r. w. Lightburne is max
ing engagements for her.
The Memphis and Cincinnati
Packet Company. through their
agent, Captain R. W. Lightburne,
petitioned the City Council hast
evening for the privilege Of mooring
a wharf boat at the landing for the
use Of their boats. The Council
should grant the petition, as the
wharfboat would prove ~seryiceable
to the merchants of Memphis as
well as advantageous to the line
that brings them business.

Mask eIeyns, tho witness Against
SHADE.

SlhAts
Mr.. Jennings writes to the New
York Times that ,Maskeleyne. q
principal witness in the prosecu-
ton against Slade, has made a for
tune by inyeHting a little mechani-
cal figure. 1t is dressed up like a
Turk, has a glass pillar beneath
him, and when you have walked
all around him and seen that no
wires connect him with an electrical
or any other apparatus, the Turk
plays a game Of whist-three per-
sons from the audience playing the
other hands. Mr.. Maskeleyne
merely calls out each card as it is
laid upon the table. The Turk
draws his card from a little stand
where the thirteen are arranged in
front of him, aud Mr.. Maskeleyne
takes it and puts it on the others.
l went to see this prodigy the other
day, and as all the scientific men in
London have been there, and Mr..
Maskeleyne has afforded them every
facility for making a thorough ex-
animation Of the figure, and as
none of them have been able to
discover the secret, | need not tell
YOU that | am quite in the dark re-
specting it. The figure is COM
pletely isolated from curtains or
machinery, electricity could not be
employed, and any OF the audience
may pass a cane or umbrella be-
meath or round about 1t, or exercise
it in any way. 1t is certainly a
wonderful piece Of mechanism
for mechanism Mr.. Maskeleyne
tells you distinctly it is-and he
challenges all the world to find out
how it is made, or by what means
it is worked. | may add as a curl
Gus fact that the spiritualists assert
that Mr.. Maskeleyne is himself a
medium of uncommon powers,
but that he chooses to deny it, and
finds it more profitable to ascribe
the wonderful actions of his
Psyche" Gas the figure is called)
to merely natural causes. Mr..
Maskeleyne himself declares that
he is a sworn foe to spiritualism,
and that he will never rest until he
has covered all its disciples and
prophets with shame and confu-
sion. In the meantime he has
found it necessary to give two per-
f%ormances every day; all the town
flock to them, and it is necessary to
secure seats a fortnight beforehand.
| declare | am at a loss to know
whether it is more profitable to be
a medium or only an eXposer of
mediums. Both pursuits pay much
better than hard work.

no man who knows the facts will deny.
That pretense, an attempt was made to

that the whole thing was corrupt, that there

an organized fraud for thepurpose Of elect
