Spiritualism IS as old rs the rocks in
yonder hill, but this "hole in.the.

be discoun,enauced by the faithful
"Secret things belong to the Lord"
says the Bible which, it may be in.
iorred, is q declaration that when 1t
accords with Divine purposes that
hidden matters shall b. disclosed, the
vail is withdrawn. st. John, the last
Of the apostles, who died natural
death at Ephesus, in the Tooth year
Of his age, had the vail withdrawn
and saw spirits in the light descending
and ascending 10 heaven, because it
was in accord with Divine purposes.
We might name other cases. If Mrs.
liuntoon should rise to explain" it
would make our Spiritual friends
very mad, and yet we have no doubt
but what she can do it as sotisfac-
to,ily as Prof. Cecil did at the Town
Hall short time ago
We clip the following deserved no.
tce of our friend and townsman, E.
b. Adams, Esq, from the St. Louis,
Missouri Republican, of Oct. 18th:
The recent city convention was
called upon TO nominate candidate
Tor circuit Judge. The contest was
animated between the friends of the
respective gentlemen whose names
were presented 10 the convention, but
the result showed that Mr.. Adams
was the tavorite. And having been
nominated, it is a satisfaction to the
people Of this city to know that he is
especially qualified for the position of
circuit judge. The Office is one of the
most important in the state and the
democratic party deserves credit for
having refused to permit the excite
ment attending the nominations for
merely political Offices to cloud their
Judgment in the selection of . candi-
date tor this judicial Office, and tor
having selected . gentleman SO thor
oughly qualified and acceptable as
Mr.. Adams. He is graduate of
Yale college, received his legal educa-
ton at Cambridge Law school, is a
man of liberal culture, and has proven
himself to have clear head, sound
judgment and thorough legal train
ing. His marked success in his pro.
fession has given him ripe expert
eace and large acquaintance with
the business men of the city. His in
dustry, gentlemanly department, rec
ognized integrity and knowledge Of
the law have raised him to an emin-
encc at the bar and in the respect and
esteem Of his tellow-lawyers which
fully approves his selection by the
convention, and will secure decisive
ratification Of its action by the people
at the polls. As long as such men
are nominated for Office the interests
Of law and order will be faithfully
served and the interests OF the people
protected and promoted.
