The writer has watched out"
thirteen consecutive closing nights in
Minnesota legislative sessions, but he
has never seen the equal of the disor-
derby and disgraceful conduct Of the
grasshopper House last night. From
ten o'clock in the evening until the
adjournment few: minutes before
four in the morning. the House was
simply an uncouth mob. All regard
for public interests was lost sight of
and the chief effort seemed to be to
neglect a. much business, Is possible,
and prevent the orderly and intelli-
gent members from accomplishing
anything whatever. But for the dis
cretion aud good judgment Of Speak
er Kinyon, and those who relieved
him during the night as presiding
officer, the general appropriation bill
would have failed, which would have
required an extra session Of the Leg
islature. This is a sample of the
general recklessness of their action.

Among the bills which were disgraceful-
ly lost through the sodden indifference Of
the House to the interests of education,

Spiritualist
This whole vulgar business Of binding
mediums with cords, sewing them up 10
bags, mailing their garments to the floor,
should now be abandoned BY all intelli.
gent and refined Spiritualists. 1t is a
reflection on the moral integrity of all
mediums. If there ever WAS a time
when dark seances we're necessary to
the cause Of true Sp~iritualism, Jam per.
suaded that time is past. They have been
the cause OF more suspicion, false accu.
sations, unbelief and strife, than all the
attacks Of t~heoligians and scientists com
bined. And Spiriiualists have done
more harm to the cause BY an undue ca.
tering to morbid public curiosity than all
the professional "exposers' end mounte-

seer or BY Rosa Bonheur. The painting
is valued at $23, 5OO-a valuable piece Of
property, forsooth. 1t is in the posses.
sion Of Major Rhea, and II is the prop.
erty Of the Board Of Underwriters Of
this city. Only of late has its value
been discovered, and that accidentally
after it had been rescued from a burning
building. The history Of the gem is
curious. The original possessor oil
it is unknown, but it passed into
the hands of wealthy Irish
linen manufacturer, and was sent
to this country last year; it reached
! Memphis packed away in a box Of Irish
linens. At the FIRE a few nights since,
on Main street, the damage done to
Johnston & Nunns amounted to $40, 900,
and that done to Taylor, Joy 4 Co.
amounted to $500, which amounts the
insurapce companies, represented by the
Board of Underwriters, had to pay. The
insurance com Hanies saved nothing, and
the picture above referred to was found
floating around in tie cellar Of Taylor,
Joy & Co. 1t was presented to Major
Rhea and the Board. and it aow hangs
in the Office, just as If it ueVe had been
washed off Of a bolt Of Irish linen. 1t
was all the insurance companies saved
from the fire, and is consequently worth
exactly $23,5O0. Those getting up fairs
or festivals for charitable or other pur'
poses could no doubt make arrangements
with the Board Of Underwriters so as to
secure this valuable work Of art at hall
price, and have it ratified Of, as it we're,
and presented to the lucky high.die
throWer, who. could then set himself up
as q connoisseur in art matters.
