Kilmorey has large estate in England
as well as in Ireland, but is far more

his grandsons. This soma very popu-

An Interesting Experiment.

An experiment looking to the improve
ment of the navigation of the Ohio
river, it being the application of the Cha
moin system of dams in that river, few
miles south of Pittsburg, Pa. A govern
ment appropriation of about S4O0, 900 is
to be expended on the work, the design
OF which is primarily to give Pittsburg a
harbor of navigable depth at all seasons,
and further to show the feasibility of
rendering the whole length of the Ohio
navigable at the lowest water by sue
cession of these dams. The peculiarity
OF the dam is that it consists of a series
of wickets which can be raised or low
cred at will by hydraulic power. When
the stream is high the wickets bend low
beneath its flood, and the boats pass over
them when the water falls as midsum-
mer approaches the wickets are hoisted,
and the confined waters become of suffi-
cient depth to float the river craft, which
will pass the dam by means of lock-
This dam is French institution, and is
successfully applied to many of the Euro
pean rivers. Col. Mahan, who is superin-
tending the construction of the Pittsburg
dam, stakes his professional reputation on
its success.

testified that in 1870 sne called at the
Uommodo-e's office on business. She
invited him to reception, and promised
to have"spirts" there. He said he had
just been to consult bis medium. She
inquired whether the spirits had advised
him to leave her million dollars. He
said no. Then she said they were wick
ed "spirits; " not as good as she
would give him. In the same year she
went to him again on business. He
was irritable, and said "Why don't you
do as have always told you-consult
the spirits ?" In 1872 she went to him
for a subscription for the relief Of the
people of the overf1owed district In
Louisiana. He said he could do nothing
without consulting his medium, a Doc
tor something. Ia 1874 she went to
him for a pass to California. He was
very sad. She said "What is the mat
ter, Commodore ? You look sad" He
said 81 am sad. had a visit yester-
day from the spirit OF my wife, and she
told me to leave all my property to one
child,' She asked (which ?" He said:
"You would call him the smal test"
She said: "Willyou leave me the million.
He only replied, "Would you do. it !"
She said she would leave it equally to
all the children. He shook his head
sadly and said, 81 want to do it, but they
won't let me-" He also told her he
never transacted any business of impor-
tance without consulting the spirits, and
that they cost him good deal Ofmoney.
Rev. DR.. Deems also testified, his testi-
mony being rather against the theory
that spiritualism had any control over
