Anna Boyle.

"GRACE GREFNwooD's" OPINION OF HEB
ATT TEMPTING To PLAY WITHOUT THOR
OUCH TRAINING.
Editor Sor: The people and the press of
New YORK have not burdened Miss Boyle
with " crushing e1travagances of cOmpIi-
ments," such as they charge us at the Ma
uODal Capital with bestowing.
"Grace Greenwood, }" who saw Miss Boyle
rendition OF Juliet, considered il rare gift
il one so young, and Miss BOyie'E circun,-
stances induced her TO sacrifice time leave
her writing, walk and talk, aud generously
give up her own projects to aid one who she
felt needed 6ncOuragement.
The people of Washington never do things
by halves, and after seeing Miss Boyle In
parlor entertainments as Juliet, second d
Mrs. LippincOtt's efforts nobly, and that
young lady'S DEBUT here was an entire sue
cess. A crowded house of Washington cite,
clearing expenses, with several hund red dol
lars for Miss Boyle, was flattering recsp-
ton.
Perhaps if our critics had done their entire
duty they should have pointed out Miss
Royle's deficiencies as 10 strength of voice,
''mature concentration" and all the excel
lences OF more mature Juliets; but Just
recognition of what she i'd well was char
acteristic of all the criticisms.
"Grace Greenwood" was delighted that
her little friend acquitted herself so accept
ably, but her advice from that hour was to
relinqnish ali idea of going on the stage
again until thorough training from the best
Instructors should warrant Miss Boyle's
appearance away from her native city.
However, her advice, SO eagerly sought
before, was now entirely ignored and, unac-
CCainted with all the arduOus details that
lady had superintendent here, Miss Boyle's
friends expressed themselves as desiring no
further aid from her. 3" Grace Greenwood"
anticipated difficulties, but was powerless to
farther advise one whom she so willingly
aided. The Juliet of fourteen will not find
her chosen profession fiowery pathway to
fame. Earnest study and devotion to her
art Will test her willingness TO labor as a
conscientious and ambitious young artist"

Another Dark Seance Medium En- .

One evening last week, in one of the Gotta
ges at onset Bay Grove camp-meeting. a
medium who has been before the public for
some years giving dark seances is said to
have been detected in helping the manifesto
tons along. AS the rumOr gained currency
1t was thought proper to invite some OF the
officers of the ASSOCIATION to make an inves-
LEGATION, and through them the writer OBJ
tanned an invitation 70 be present. The me-
dunn, one DR.. Richardson, claims TO be
blind. He presented himself TO be placed
under "test conditions" but obi ected 10 the
first requir ement of the committee, who de-
sired 20 sew up the sleeve of his shirt close to
his wrist. In explanation, he urget that the
"spirits" were i'm the habit of using this place
to "draw blood" for the purpose of aiding
the formation Of esprit hands" that floated
about and touched the sisters rang bells &C
II was suggested that the face and neck
ought TO be u:ed for this purpose, rather than
the wrist, ana g cOmproD Use was effected by
leaving one-half the inte-stice between the
end Of the seam and button hole unsewed.
Next, miitens were sewed to the wristband
Then coat with the end OF the sleeves seWed
up was pat on; the collar lappad and sewed.
IL was proposed to put a stitch through the
sleeve of the coat and shirt fastening the two
together when on. Objection was made and
overruled. The circle was formed. A con-
troll announced that "everything was all
right; DIR. Harvey had been sent for, and the
manifestations would soon begin" In an
swer to inquiries, the band was said to NUM-
Der 81, i95 spirits. Hiram Abiff was the pres
Ident. He was one thousand miles away,
but would be there in half a second. He said
he was worker in brass, but when asked
of WI at country he was king replied "kiug
of Tyre" After sitting an hour, W Ihout OBJ
tanning any manifestations except a few
Taps and the ringing of a bell, the circle
broke up. The fastenings of the medium
were examined. A piece was torn from the
coat, and still adhered to the shirt, held by
its stitches. The shirt sleeve was rent from
shoulder to wrist in three places. The case
looking doubtful, the medium was controlled
and voice said, ~ am DR.. Harvey; | in
tended TO send q stream of electricity up that
sleeve to sever one thread; but, by Joe, il
was too strong and made these rents that you

ence the next morning at the grove meeting.
The sentiment was In FAVOR of q strict inyes-
tigation.-[ Boston Herald.
