TRICKS OF THE mDIUMS EXPOSED.

Miss Kellogg advertised to expose the
principal tricks of so-called spiritualism
in Everett hall, Hyde park, last night,
| but only a bakers dozen attended, and
their money was refunded. A wealthy
man was present who had for some time
been infatuated with Mrs. Hardy and
her pretenses, and a few tricks were ex-
posed. First, Mr. E. Perkins bet 50 that
Miss Kellogg, while at the piano, with
both hands on the KEYS, could not raise
the instrument from the floor, but II was

NORTH SCI CANAL.
The --latest Engineering TriuDiphs.


The greatest feat in engineering since
the construction of the Suez canal was
brought to a successful termination a
few DAYS since in the completion of the
North Sea canal. As early as 1879, when
the fury of wind and river was filling
with sand banks the channel connecting
the Zuyder Zee with the North Sea, the
merchants of Amsterdam foresdw that
to save their city from the desolatiOn
that has befallen the now dead cities of
the Zuyder, they must open an outlet to
the sea. A cut of but fifteen miles due
eastward would have connected them
with tide-water. II is true, there would
have been difficulty in establishing a Sc
Ire harbor at the sea entrance there.
but, as compared with the magnitude of
the whole undertaking, that difficulty
was inconsiderable. But, with that as
| tonishing Stupidity that can be born only
of provincial selfishness, the canal, which
William l., when the plans were sub
mitted to him, declared should be cut or
the route of that just opened, was run
from Amsterdam to the Helder-the
main entrance to the Zuyder Zee--fiity
miles For time this North canal
served its purpose-it took Amsterdam
to the sea. But it takes two days iol
vessels by that route to reach the city
from the Helder; the harbor there /:
much of the time exceedingly difficult
to make, and the canal itself is too shall
low for navigation by the ships Of this era
It was these considerations that led tC
the projection Of the present canal II
1868, to again avert the peril there was
of Amsterdam's being cut Of from The
sea. Since then the work has beer
steadily pushed through, considering tine
outlay, at what in this country would
be considered very slow gait, since the
entire cost of the canal has been bu
$1,000, 900, or about $4,000, 900 in oul
money. The first difficulty encountered
in the work was that the level Of tie
country, except for short distance, wa
from twelve to twenty-seven feet below
sea-level. and, instead of digging a chan
mel to admit the water from the sea
banks mad to be piled up to prevent thu
overflow of the country through which
it passed. This region--that is, what o
it was not covered by water-had beer
reclaimed by dikes, and one of the oh
iects to be attained through the Nortl
Sea canal was to drain entirely this in

This has been done, and by pumping

order to gain supremacy IN the

fully according TO the farmers every

less designing, and hence their party

WHEN SANDER has been put in

dates mentioned for the Presidency.
it is Immediately charged upon one
of their rivals. Thus to Morton
was attributed the bond story about
Blaine, which he so satisfactorily ex-
ploded and to their competitors
respectively in the race, the asper-
sions upon their private character,
which have filled the papers and de-
lighted the ears of the Democratic
inquisitors at Washington, in rela-
ton to Bristow, Blaine, Conkling,
and Morton. 1t is possible that
some friends of these gentlemen
have lent too willing an ear to those
idle tales, but the honorable charac-
ter of each one of them ought to be
sufficient to disarm suspicion as to
themselves. In this connection two
pleasing incidents are mentioned
illustrating the honor and magnan-
unity of Mr.. Bristow. When Mr..
Blaine made his recent statement,
Mr.. Bristow sent him a note, con-
graduating him on his triumphant
defense. Again when the enemies
of Mr.. Morton, the other day, were
trying to poach about the Treasury
Department for materials of charges
against him, Mr.. Bristow refused to
have any documents examined, I'M

his friends. This is the comfy
which is due between high-minded
statesmen.

THE latest news from the North
western frontier, forshadows the sort
of campaign which General Crook
intends carrying out during the com
ing Indian war. This oiiicer is now
en- route to the Red Cloud Agency,
where he will make test of the
peaceful observations of tho chiefs Of
the Ogallalas. Ii possible he will
secure the services of 300 or 800 of
Red Clouds young men to aid him
in his operations against Sitting
Bull 1.-The Bad" and Crazy Horse, who
are massiug their forces near the
confluence Of the Yellowstone and
Powder Rivers. In the event OF his
being Unsuccessful in this, General
Crook will proceed at once to the
Crow reservation, and from that
peaceful tribe, who are inveterate
enemies of the warlike Sioux. select
their best fighting men and add them
TO his own command. With these
mountain Indians it is impossible
that the maurading bands of the
Minneconious and renegade Chey-
enueS and Ogallalas can long escape
the punishment their ravages de-
serve. General Crook will probably
take the field May 20. and inaugur-
ate what viii he know in history as
the last great Indian struggle.

GET . BRUTE"

Last summer and fall, when VIM.
Il. Taylor was the Democratic cam
didate for Governor, there appeared
in the papers of the State, such con-
elusive testimony of his dishonesty,
that 1t seemed impossible that any
sane man could believe hin worthy
to be Governor. Yet the Democratic
press supported him with all possible
vigor, denying stoutly everything
preiudicial to him, and asserting
faith in his integrity, notwithstand-
ing the plainest proof to the con-
trary So earnest and persistent
were the democratic papers and pol
iticians, that The Great Reformer was
defeated, and the State saved from
the disgrace Of having him Governor
for another term, by only a few
hundred votes. To-day, however,
how changed the aspect though
nothing worse than was known and
proved before election against Tay-
lor has come to light--only crook
edness Of little different character
some Of his supporters Of last fall
are the most severe in censuring him.
Among these we are surprised to
find our neighbor the National Dem-
ocrqt, which in its Issue Of last week,
has this to say:
As We limited elsewhere, among all the very
snail things that have been "shovn up" by
the investigations Of the legislative committee
At Madison Ex-Governor Taylor stands most
consWcuous for diminuiiycncss. Ills admiuis-
tmton was OF the whole economical. Indeed
Il would seem that his conceptions were too
smnli 10 compass q biz steal, and he was
probably too honest, and certainly too stinsy,
to allow anybody else to profit greatly by ex-
tlayagancc. When he retired from his Office,
he took an atlas belonging 10 the State, and
when the Investigation was ordered he tried
% hirc a man for dollar to put il back
quietly in It's place in the Capitol, He took
"a good supply Of stationery and stamps also
when he retired from office, and he kept $500
davn from the contingent fund in November,
1874, and did not pay it over to the party for
whom It was ostensihly drawn, until the lnyes,
tIgatlon was 80 near as 10 throw strong sus
p.eion over his motives for paying It at all.
Now, that the Democrat should
condemn the little populations and
dishonesty Of the Ex-Governor, de-
yclopcd by the investigating COM
luittee, we find no fault with. But
let every reader ask himself: Would
the same evidence have brought the
same conviction to our neighbor be-
fore election Is it not more than
probable that, had the same facts
been known last fall, that paper
would have supported Taylor just
as vigorously rs it did, when other
facts quite rs damaging to him were
known
