years was not thrown away. From the
day It first came to his knowledge that
his wife and daughters were spiritual
lists he never spoke word against, nor
did he ever allude to It, except In gen.
eral terms In his morning prayer; but
any one could see that It troubled him,
for he was absentminded, his eyes wan
dered restlessly, and he looked care
worn.
The deacon witnessed one or two ''slt-
tings" at his own house, and was salts
fed that If he possessed little more
knowledge he could get rid of them.
So one morning he started for the city
determined to thoroughly investigate
the subject before he returned. After
visiting two of the most popular medi-
ums and paying his money, he returned
home, satisfied that he could see through
IT,
There was "sitting" at the deacon's
house on the night he returned; and
his daughter Mary (the medium) invited
the deacon to take seat at the table,
which to her qualification was accepted.
The spirits were in good tune, and 80
exceedingly communicative that the
deacon was induced to ask few ques-
tions which were readily answered and
the wife and daughter were in ecstacies
at the thought that their father would
be believer, and urged the deacon on
to his inquiries.
Has my wife always been true to
her marriage vows ?" asked the dea-
con.
TO this question there were no raps
in return, while Mrs. Isaacs sat trans
fixed with holy horror that such
thought should enter her husbands
mind.
How many years have passed since
she was untrue 20
Answer by single raps. Then came
slowly and solemnly one, two, three,
four, and SO on until they reached
twenty.
How many who claim to be are
not my children ?'
Again the spirits raped one, two.
Mrs. Isaacs looked dumfounded.
"Mercyl" said Mary.
Which are theyY" asked the dea-
con, who now seemed so intent on this
subject that he paid no attention to
his companions.
Mary, Sarah," raped the spirits,
the names of the two daughters, the
elder of which was under twenty.
Mrs. Isaacs could stand it no longer.
"It's lie / didn't It's a lie ~
she shrieked, rising from the table.
"They are your children, Deacon Isaacs
and Gods knows it,
But the spirits affirm differently"
said the deacon, in solemn voice.
Then they lie," said the wife,
But if you believe them in every
thing else, why not in this ?"
But don't believe in them at all.
it's all foolery."
Nor |" shouted Mary.
Nor To added Sarah.
Them" said the Deacan, while
smile illuminated his countenance,
"we will bid them goodbye, and leave
those things which God has wisely hid
from us to be revealed in his time"
The deacon's evening devotions were
characterized with more earnestness
than usual, and the family retired fully
satisfied that the spirits and mediums
did not always reveal the truth,
Mrs. Isaacs was so glad that none of
the neighbors were present. But some
how the story got wind, and SO fear
full were the spirit danes that they
might be caught in the same trap that
the deacon had set, that spiritualism

PROGRESS OF SPELLING REFORM. The

New York Independent recently announced
Its purchase of special type in order to

among these is the Utica -Horn;ag HeraLd-

WHAT Ex-GOv. HENDRICKss SAYS OF THE
ULYSSES IN ENGLAND.-From this allusion
to Grant, we entered upon a general con-
versation concerning him, his globe encir-
cling journey, and the ''boom."
"To indulge a slang phrase, governor. /
can not refrain from calling the journey Of
Grant around the world and his holding
the United States republic up by the tail
for the inspection of all the monarchies.
Kingdoms and ~despotisms of earth, "a sort of
heightened dead-beatism, and obtaining
transportation, board and lodging in grand
style by a species of prodigious check and
false pretense. I never could understand
just how the thing got started"
With a hearty laugh at my peculiar aud
depreclatlng estimate Of this round the
world boom for Grant, the governor said:
You have jumped at a most accurate
conclusion. l was in London when Grant
was cutting his stupendous swell in that me-
trOpolis. l was at United States Minister
Pierrepont's left at Il great dinner there,
and Minister Pierrepont volunteered the in
formation as to how the gIobular Grant
boom was set up. Minister Pierrepont
said that the Secretary of State, Mr.. Evarts,
wrote a State paper in advance of Grants
going to London, gravely announcing the
proposed journey of the ex-Prssidert, and
csolly requesting that Gen. Grant be re-
ceived with all the pomp and circumstance
shown to the (theL) recently deposed En-
peror Napoleon III, of France. The Eng
lish government were startled by this speci-
men of Yankee audacity.' The subject
was submitted for consideration, first to the
Secretary for foreign affairs, and to Lord
Beaconsfield and the other eminent govern
mental dignitaries. After much painful
suspense, it was finally determined to not
refuse the placid request. Once decided
the English government proceeded by
rote to boom Grant, responsive to Secre-
tary Evart's request and the wishes of the
government of the great American repub-
lie"
Lex pressed my profound surprise on learn
ing this detail from a source so eminentlv
respectable and reliable. Always before |
had discredited tn, rumors floating about
touching the same facts. Chtcago Times.

Interesting Statistics Concerning
Population, Production and
Local Debts.

Some new and important figures present
ing the comparative growth of the great di-
visions of the United States are given in an
article by Robert p. Porter, of Chicago, in
the September number of the Princeton Re
rissc. The writer shows that the growth in
population of the Western States in nine
teen years Since 1861 has been 1902, 632
that Of the Southern States, 4,O25, 9S4 that
Of the Eastern States, 3,SOS, 700 the in
crease in the Western States being thus
nearly S,O0O,O 600, or equal to the actual in
crease of the Eastern and Southern States
in the same period. According to Mr.. Por-
ter's figures the number of hands employed
in manufacturing in the Eastern States in
1850 was coo, 66l in 1860, 900, 10Y In
1870, l,21S, sos at the present time, l,734,-
s53 in the Western States, So, 947 liz 1850;
1905 in 1860; 800, 621 in 1870, and 1884,

Safes, 100, S66 in 1850; l3l, 979 in 1860

1t is we'll enough to understand now
what the organs regard rs the meaning of
the Democratic reverses. We can only be
the better prepared when we understand
the nature of the danger. The Chicago
Inter- Ocean says:
political assassination and the rule of
the brigadiers have done their work. The
North is solid! Stute sovereignty, with it's
ostracism, prejudice, persecution and def
ance of law, has heard the warning voice
of a power higher than itself, mightier than
the petty dogma it representative voice Of
a united North declaring that this Union is
aNATION; and, as such, must protect its
people, honor the constituti,n and enforce
tie laws.
''There is no installing the voice which
is heard to-day. 1t is as decisive and as
positive as it was when it spoke in thunder
tones in 1861, and swo:e that secession
should be put down and rebellion punish
ed"
The New York Tribune says: "A solid
North sends greeting to a solid South.
Yesterday nswer the last session of Con-
gress, and all the ~insolent disloyalty which,
after growing for years, found expression
there. The grand and resistless uprising
which followed the shot in Charleston har-
Dor in 1861 finds an echo in the returns Of
tuesday. once more the NOrIn IS uE1teu.
The work which men did with their bullets
they have determined not to spoil with their
ballots"
The Lemars Uowa) Sentinel.
If State lines interfere with national pro.
gress,
Cancel them;
If State constitutions hamper the nation
al purpose,
Abrogate them;
If State sovereignty conflicts with nation
al sovereignty,
Squelch it.
