CUMMINGS?

When in Virginia City on Thursday,
were accosted by orr very vivacious and
young friend Mr.. Wells Drury, who, aft
the mutual hcartiness of the meeting had sui
sided, asked, would we be good enough t.
afford brief description Of the general APP
pearance Of Professor Allen, the gentIor...
whose experiments as a Psychostope H.,
last Saturday night were so unsatisfact,"'
himself and so disappointing to the ladies and
gentlemen who had assembled to witness the
phenomena of what is known in the spiritual
istic world as naturalization. We readily
ATTEMPTED to impart the desired information
and SO far succeeded in conveying to Mr.
Drury mind an nklins Of the impression

cause that gentleman to cXclaim i'll an out
burst of enthusiasm and correct English,
"By Jove, that's he Following an inter
pelhtion upon our part as to why he cvinced
this interest concerning Mr. Allen, (who, we
fear, is only too nearly in affinity with the
ghostly part of the "Crue Barbara Of that
name), our ardent young friend proceeded to
say that on Wednesday Cor it might have
been on Tuesday, night, person answering
to the description We had gwen appeared i'll
Gold Hill and by invitation gave what is de
nominated as a seance at the house of gen
tleman of that town. We understood Mr..
Drury to say that this person gave his name
there as Professor Cummings. There is moth
ing inconsistent in this even though Pro
fessor Cummings and Professor Allen are one
and the same person. For if ones body is
simply the lodging place-a sort Of super
natural What Cheer House-for the transient,
aye, momentary and tleeting abode of such
spirits as may be mean and earthly enough to
visit Carson or Gold Hill when these not
always unpleasant cities present so startling
contrast to the splendors and comforts of
Paradise, as they do now, how is he to keep
the run of his identity! If Smith is to be-
come JOnes's ghost within the next half hour,

Now mngles Greece in the ARRAY;
Now SeTva brarS and runs away,
And lives t. brag another day;
Now solemn ships their anchors weigh
And swing in silence down the bay,
For fear of what the Gar may say;

Their final feast of blood delay,

And hear the British lion bray!

There is reason to believe that the dispute

stubborn conflict than that waged between the
former two nations, and with more direct eff
feet upon the trade interests of the United

Committee on Ways and Means, in the House
OF Delegates, on Wednesday, of last week,
made an adverse report on the memorials ask
ing for indemnity for losses of property dur.
ingthe riots in July, 1877, in Baltimore. The
report says:
Governments do not, rs a general rule. in.
demnify individuals for losses sustained
either from the want of proper laws or from
the inadequate enforcement of laws made TO
secure the property in individuals. Western
College VS.. The City of Cleveland, u Ohio
State Reports, 377; Dillon on Municipal
Corporations, section 1901
The particular cases which have been
brought 70 the attention of your committee
afford no reason for departure from this
general and sound practice.
1t cannot be pretended that the constituted
authorities of the State did not, during the
period in question, employ all the means at
their command to SUPPRESS the riots in which
the alleged losses occurred. There has.
therefore, been no neglect of public duty on
their part upon which any claim against the
State could properly be founded.
1T the remedy sought were afforded to the
owners of property taken, damaged or de-
stroyed during the riots in question, the State
would be bound to give Kindred indemnity
to all who, without fault on their part, were
injured during these tumults, and To the fam.
lilies who, without fault on their part, were
killed during such riots. No commonwealth
assumes such liabilities
