monstration Of the reality of the phenomenon
and the absence Of impOsture from which theirs
seems no escape. I couine myself to this one
experiment, and narrate the essential facts
only.
The sitting wos at a priv ate house in Rich.
mond, on the 21st of last month. Two ladies'
and three gentlemen were present, besides
myself and the medium, DR.. Monck. A shaI.
ed candle was in the room, giving light stuff.
cient to see every object on the table round
which ae sat. -Four small ard common states
were on the table. Of these I chose two. and
after carefully cleaning aud placing a small
fragment Of pencil between them, I tied them
together with q strong cord, passed around
them both Iengthways and orosswise, SO al
efectually to prevent the states from moving
on each other. | then laid them fiat on the
table, without losing sight of them for all in
slant. DR.. Monck placed the fingers of both
hands on them, while l and a lady sitting OPP.
poSite ms placed our hands on the corners IF
the states. From this position our hands
wers neccr moyed, TIL I united them to ascer.
tain the result. After waiting a minute or two
Dr.. Monck asked me to name any short word
l wished written on the slate. I named The
word "God." lie then asked me to say how I
wished it written. l replied, "leugthways Of
the slate - then i'll wished it written with a
large or a Smal " e." aud l chose q capital
c. In a very short time. wiring was heard
on the slate. The me1ium's hands were con.
v~pIsively withdrawn, and l then myself unit ed
the cord which was a strong silk watch.guard
lent by one of the %visitors and on opening
the states, found on the lower one the word Il
had asked for, written In the manner L had re-
qlestel, the writing being somewhat faint and
Iaboured, but perfectly legible. The slate
with the wiring on it is now in my possession.
The essential features of this experiment are
that | myself cleaned and ted up the states.
that | kept my hand on them all the time,
that they never went Out of my sight for q
moment, and that [ named the word to be
written and the manner of writing it after they
were thus secured and held by me. / ask, how

GERMANY AND THE PORTE.
(Times Of 12M October.j

The Terite, the organ of the War Office,
has II eeiyed private intelligence that a
body of German troops a,e on the wav to
occupy the west OF Russian Poland, in
order to permit Russia to withdraw from
that country her gnrlisons, which amount
to nearly lOO,0 900 men. who could i'm
mediately be sent to the Danube. The
VeYne adds that it has great difficulty in be-
lieying this signifcant news. 1t viii, low-
ever, be accepted with little difficulty by
the Turkish readers OF the FeYjtG, who
are just now adopting, with reference to
European diplomacy, Douglas Jerrold's
golden rule-always TO hope the best and
believe the v o st. The feeling has JUST
taken the form Of a suspicion thas Ger.
many is scheming to impose a peace Oh. Tur-
key-a suspicion to which, | beIieye, may'in
no slight measure be traced the recent def
ant uite,atces Of the Turkish Press, which
hopes to check the suspected advance by
rejecting IL before it could be made. The
Turks, in fact, are disposed to look upon
all the European Powers, without excsp-
ton, as the active enemies of their coun,
try. because it did not accord with their
policy or sense of political morality to
come forward in . bad cause as their &C.
tive friends.
This view may not appear in keeping
with the fact that if the Powers did not
help Turkey, neither did they help Rus
STA /; that, on the contrary, two of them,
at any rate, are believed to have been
more than once on the point Of step
ping in to prevent her going as lar
as she wished but the Turks had so per.
suaded themselves that they would never
be left alone, that their soreness and irri.
tation at the defeat Of this hope have CIR.
ried the" beyond all reasonable bounds,
and they are ready to look with distrust
upon any proposal. from whatever quar-
ter it may c"me, bet more especially if it
comes from the Power which labours un.
der the disadvantage of bsing the accredi.
ted protector in Turkey of Russians and
Russian interests. They are also influenced
BY the more p%ardonable apprehension that
Europe, 90 long accustomed to treat Tur-
key as an inferior and dependent Power,
requiring to be kept in leading strings,
viii not adequately recogn re the entirely
new position which her own unaided If
forts have won for her, unless she keeps
on proclaiming it at the top Of her voice
in toDes of defiance. This is probably q
part of the explanation of the tall talk
which has made the Turks seem for The mo-
ment even more unmanageable and uncon-
slliatoRy than they really are, and most of
il would disappear if they were judicious.

The Portland daily press., 1877-06-15

THE London Times in leading article, calls
attention to the fact that all the recent disor-
ders in France have been occasioned by pol
itical recklessness. The Revolution of 1880
was occasioned by the determination of the
court and clergy to defy the political instincts
of the people. The Revolution of 1S4S was
brought about by Ministers who refused to
let the Parliamentary franchise be extended.
The ''Coup d'Etat'' was perpetrated in the
name Of ''order'' by military faction, and
the cause of the war with Germany was the
desire of the same faction to overthrow the
Liberals, and of the Clericals to strike at the
Protestant power of Germany. 1t hints at
the causes of the present crisis as follows:
The most dangerous foes of order" are those
partisans who have persuaded themselves that
France cannot be stable without a military
Empire or legitimate Monarchy, or q politi-
cal aristocracy or dominant Church, or such
Ministers as the Due de Broglie. Those zealots
are often more disturbing than retailers of ig-
norant sediton, because, while quite as fanati-
cal in their own way, they hide their revolu-
tionary designs from themselves, as we'll as
from the country,by the fervor of their protests
against revolution.
The Portland daily press., 1877-06-15

ACCORDING to the customs of the Turks,
the Koran, or Turkish Bible, must not be
printed, but always be preserved in manu.
script. This circumstance puts it out of the
power of the poor classes to possess copy of
the sacred book, and recourse has been had
to photography. As the photographic process
had no existence when Mohammed promul-
gated his prohibition, there can be no impro-
priety in employing it for the dissemination
of his teachings, particularly as in Turkey
this process is not classed with printing, but
is described as due to the direct action of the
sun. 1t is thus that photography comes to
the rescue of religion professed by great
number of races. The Operation of photo
graphing the Koran has been accomplished
by Fruhwist, in London, under the .stricsest
control, to prevent any violation of the Mus
sulman regulations on the subject.

TERMS $500 PER ANNUM, IN ADVANCE.

INVITATIONS have been issued to the Gov
