ANOTHER of the Spiritualistic
imposters has been exposed in
Philadelphia. The Times of that
that city stated that Bliss and his
wife. who had been giving exhibit
tons of spiritual materializations''
after the "Katy King" fashion, did it
by having trap door that led from
their cabinet to the cellar. and that
by means of this the changes were
made. Bliss had the temerity to
prosecute the Times for libel. When
the hearing came on, one of the
persons who had paid money to see
Bliss exhibition accused him Of false
pretences, and young woman whom
the Blisses had employed in ,heil
representations made full confes'
sion, and the man and his wife were
held in 5000 bail to answer the
charge.

THERE we're two good reasons why
the anniversary of the battle OF
Brandywile, on the 18th inst, was
not celebrated with as much pomp
as some of our other "centennials. "
First, the battle field was originally
selected without due regard to &C.
cessibility BY modern lines of travel !;
and in the next place, it is remem-
oered that we were badly defeated
on the occasion. In these circum-
stances the anniversary failed to ex-
cite enthusiasm. The battle was one
of great importance to the British.
opening the road to Philadelphia,
and was lost by our army almost
precisely as was the battle Of Long
Island-by neglect in keeping sutfi-
cient reconnoitering parties on the
exposed TANKS. The Americans in
each case were out-generalled, not
whipped. At Brandywine the two
armies numbered about $4,000 men
each, the largest combined force that
met in action during the revolution.
The anniversary drew perhaps 1000
people, mostly from Delaware, to
Chadd's Ford, on the Brandywinr,
and addresses we're made by Senator
Bayard and Mayor Whiteley, of
Washington.

LATE advices from Alaska say there
Is not the semblance of law, either
civil, military or naval, and no power
whatever to restrain or keep In check
the lawless elements since the with
drawal OF the troops. At present
there are not more than fifteen white
residents at Sitka besides their wives
and children, and to oppose this
number are several hundred Indians.
The Indians have become very bold
and impudent, and have no respect
for the rights of the whites. The
Collector of Customs is powerless and
his authority Is entirely d'sregarded.
A government steamer was at that
port only few weeks ago, but the
Indians regarded it with the utmost
contempt, saying they could very
easily capture it if they desired.
Already the indians have begun to
pluDder the Government building,
carrying away dours and windows
and burning them for fuel. Sitka
Jack, the leading chief. had invited
a number of northern tribes to come
down to Sitka, where they will hold
a grand dance about the 1st of Oc-
toher. Among the settlers it is feared
this meeting of Indians will be the
