THs GREAT RUMBUG ogSPIRIgUALISAE

The Vicar General of the Archdiocese of
Westminster, Canon Gilbert, on Sunday
morning last began the delivery OF series
of rather startling discOurses upon abe
hideous delusion of Spirituaism. DR.
Gilbert's fret discourse was certainly re-
markable. 1t augurs we'll for the interest
of those that are to follow. 1t not another
word were uttered by him upon the sub
iect, that lecture alone would amount to
n triumphant exposure. Canon Gllberts
argument was opened by his explaining
how the majority of spiritua!ists hold that
as we can communicate, by means OF
electricity, with people IN New YORK, SO
there ia some force in nature by which
persops in certain mental conditions can
communicate with dieembodied spirits in
the other world, and that, through the
agency of these disembodied spirits, mu-

there ia a certain force called Odlo, or
Odylic Force, penetrating nature9 WMch
persons of abnormal mental conditions can
bring into activity, and by which all the
phenomena spiritualists believe In are pro-
duced. A third theory, supported by
SERGEANT Cox, Professor Crookes, and
others, denying the agency of disenbodied
spirits, maintains the Psychic Force theory
The advocates of this theory say that, as
the soul can move the muscles of the body
go there are persona peculiarly organized
who can, by this soul force. move objects
at distance and perform other phenome
ma. But, as SERGEANT Cox himself hat
said, "Tbere is no proof whatever of the
agency of the spirits of the dead"
Besides these, there is the Religious
Theory held by certain pious people and
certain ecclesiastics, according to whom the
majority of the phenomena narrated by
spiritualists are produced by the agency O
wicked and diabOlic spirits. Now, obvi

viewed in the light Of any of these theories
cannot be over estimated in ita bearing

GENERAL CRIrTENDEN'S REQUEST.
He Wants the Bones of His Son To Rest
Where He Fell Fighting the Indians

A Washington special to the Chicago
Tribune says a correspondent in the Capitol
to-day has the following paragraph upon the
subject of the proposed removal of the vic
tins of the Custer massacre to a new burial
ground: General Sheridan having an
nounced his determination to send an expe-
dition to the scene of the Custer massacre,
to remove the bones of the slain, General
Crittenden has written letter asking that
the remains of his boy be left to slgnalize the
spot where he fell. This letter of Critten-
den to Sheridan is curious blending of a
soldiers pride with a parents affection for
his only offspring. There can be no filter
resting place for true soldier, says Critten-
den, than the spot which his blood
has hailowed. 1t would be vandalism to
dig up and scatter widely the bones of those
men who have been buried as they died,
shoulder to shoulder. They all persisted to-
gether, fighting without nope, and the con-
radeship thus cemented should never be
sundered There is no such other spot on
this continent, and probably never will be,
as that where half regiment of cavalry was
annihilated. Let it be kept sacred; let it be
kept an obscure burial ground for those who
have marked it with their bodies as the most
singular battle field known to history. From
even Thermopyle one escaped; from this
field not one. Let them rest there at least,
and il their heroism is to be comnemorated,
let their monument be reared where they
fell ~

By the tears more bitter than brine,

Pledge no woman in wine.

And proven her pray ers In vain;
And her household goods all scattered,

Il. WILKES ROOth.

A number of absurd stories are going the
rounds of the press as to the disposit on of
the remains of J. Wilkes Booth. The latest
is by Captain Oliver p. Leslie, of Pittsburg,
who states the body was sunk in a lake
seven miles below Alexandria, Virginia.
The incontrovertible facts are follows:
The remains were ordered to be delivered to
the friends of Booth by President Andrew
Johnson. John II. Weaver, the undertaken
of this city, was sent to Washington by his
family to bring them here for interment. A
box was taken up from the arsenal building
and delivered to him. 1t was brought by
him to Baltimore, and was examined by
him and a reporter of the Gazette at his
room on West Fayette street, near Holiday.
They found in it a skeleton wrapped in an
old army blanket. When the blanket was
taken off the skeleton was covered with a
powder having the appearance of soapstone,
and on being rubbed between the fingers
1T disappeared just as soapstone will do. On
the right foot was an army shoe, cut open
at the top its entire length, as il to accom-
modate a swollen foot. On the other was a
large cavalry boot The reporter of the Ga
zette examined the bones in and above the
shoe, and for some time could find no in
Jury. Believing the remains to be those OF
Booth, the reporter made persistent exam
ination and at last discovered the leg was
fractured clean through just above the ankle.
Inc fracture was clearly markeu, anu the
portion below the fracture being lifted out
of the box, the ends of the bones were of a
pure whiteness. leaving no doubt as to the
fact that Booth, in leaping from the box,
had fractured his right leg and not sprained
it. Still the identify of the remains were
not satisfactorily established, especially as
there was no portion OF the spinal
vertebre missing and no mark of any bullet
upon them. A brother of Booths was sent
for, who was told by Mr. Weaver OF the
doubts as to the identity of his remains and
Mr.. Weaver requested him to think of some
popularity, il any existed in the structure
OF his brother that would forever remove
any doubt. After thinking for brief while
the brother said all that he could remember
was that his brother had his tooth plugged
with gold in a peculiar manner. He de-
scribed the location of the tooth, and drew
with pencil the shape of the plug, which
was of unusual size. The teeth were taken
out, and the tooth was found plugged just
as described by the brother, and forever set
ting at rest any question of the identity OF
the remains The remains were buried in
Greenmount cemetery in the same lot with
his grandfather, father and other children of
the fanny.

suing the vanderbilt Estate.

The suits against the Vanderbilt estate by
Cornelius, junior, and Tenne Clahin have
made no progress lately. 1t is not believed
that Tennie will press her case, but if she
does it will be defended. Whether this will
result in the threatened scandal can not be
told now-the Clafiins are very uncertain.
With regard to the suit of Cornelius, says
the Commercial Advertiser it is understood
that the answer to the complaint is not yet
ready. as there are several days left in which
to file the answer before the legal
time specified in the notice expires
1t is, however. generally believed
that the substance of the answer will
be a denial of all the assertions in the COM
plant relative TO any agreement on the part
Of William H. Vanderbilt 10 pay his brother
81, 000, 600 or any other sum, specified or 9TH
erwise, for the purpose of inducing him to
withdraw from the contest OF the will; that
the withdrawal at the time when the matter
was before the surrogate was entirely volun-
tary on the part of the counsel representing
the contestants, and was not the result Of
any special agreement on the part of William
III. Vanderbilt or any person authorized by
him.
The answer in full will not be ready for
publication for over a week TO come, but the
main features of it are comprised in the
above synopsis.

The Rev. Mr. Beecher, a brother of the
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, who lives with
his wife in wild place back in the town of
Hardenbergh, where he has settled on a
mile square of land, is doing a great deal of
good among the rugged class of people who
inhabit that country. He travels around
from place to place, with his horses and sad
die bags, and breaches regularly on Sundays.
He is a plain, unvarnished talker. Mr..
Beecher's wife teaches school. She taught
two years and then had to give it up for a
while. During that time she received

children eighty dollars, thus giving her labor
