AgaSSiz and Home.

AT the time "Spiritualism'' was most popu-
lar in New England the man of science was
adJured by intelligent ladies and gentlemen
who thought they could believe the testimony
of their eyes, and who thus considered them
selves to be observers to investigate the phe
nomena. Agassiz was among the foremost of
the scientists who stepped forward in answer
to this appeal, but he and his associates could
not force the Spiritualists to comply with any
of the conditions under which scientists OBJ
serve. They were constantly taunted for not
investigating the wonders which they were
constantly prevented by the wonder workers
themselves from investigating according to the
accredited methods of science. Agassiz during
this controversy happened to meet Home, the
chief magician of the sect, in a railway car.
SIT is said, Mr.. rAgassiz," said Home, "that-
the preiudices of you men of science interpose
to prevent the advancement of science, owing
to the fact that you refuse to investigate the
unprejudiced observers" ''Mr. Home" was
the reply, 81 never refuse to investigate any,
thing which promises to advance science, and
nothing will give me more delight than to in
vestigate the marvels which occur, as you say
at your meetings. "Well, then, replied
Home, come this very night and witness the
appearance of the spirit hand" Nothing will
give me more pleasure" answered Agassiz
than to be one Of the selected guests around
sne table T. Where the the spirit hand appears My
tie phosphorus rubbed over it: but I am omen
to conviction. I am little skilled in the use
of weapons, and all ask is that I shall have
the privilege OF putting my stiletto through it,
II the hand Is a spirit hand, no harm will oc
cur; if it is human hand, I feel confident in
my power to transfix it on the table, much to
the discomfort of the possessor." Home de-
clined the test. Such want of faith, he said,
would necessarily prevent the spirit hand from
appearing. And, indeed, all means of investi-
CATION which Agassiz suggested were dismissed
as not calculated to induce the spirits to COM
municate with any company of which he was a
zine for June

on the legislative bill agreed to concur in the
Senate amendments thereto.
Republicans Seeking to Stop General
~ Legislation.
There is a decided disposition on the Repub-
lican side of the House to prevent the consid-
GRAFTON of any general legislation after the dis
posal of the Warner silver bill, and prominent
members say there is no doubt the Republi-
cans will follow this course if an attempt is
made to take up any of the various other
measures reported by the committees during
the present session, other than those making
appropriations for the army and executive
branches OF the government
Manufacturing Campaign Literature.
The report to be made on the veto of the
army Interference bill is a very elaborate doc
ument 1t is possible it will be issued as an
address to the people through the Democratic
campaign committee.
The Electoral Connt.
The House committee on the law respecting
the ascertainment and declaration of the re-
suits of the election for President and Vice
President agreed upon a bill and authorized
Mr. Bicknell to report it to the House.

The Leadville Situation.

In view of the summer prospect, writer in
ours grave responsibility who encourages inn
migration to Leadville From all the infor-
nation that can be obtained it seems probable
that not less than 10000 people will come here
this season from the three states of Kansas,
Missouri and Tennessee alone. If the other
states contribute in even an infnitesimal ratio,
the slopes of the Grand Divide and the Mos
quito and Buffalo ranges will be whitened next
fall with the bones of men who have died of
hunger and cold-for it is impossible for the
country to feed so many. In this, the richest
camp ever known in mining history, only 15
per centum of the prospectors discover any
thing; IS per centum fail, and in this region
and climate will be likely to perish. But this
dismal prospect does not alter the facts with
regard to the mines And these facts are
readily ascertained by persons who are compe-
tent to weigh evidence and have access to the
proper sources of information. Whatever
motive the owners of the Little Pittsburg may
have had in reducing their force, and suffering
IL to bo understood that the mine had "petered
out" it is perfectly well known in inside cir
cles that the mine never had so much ore in
sight, and was never worth more than to-day
But the Judge Pendry is still more in point
Six months ago scientific men declared that if
the miners of this region would drive through
the lime on which the carbonate deposits rest
they would find at a lower depth second and
possibly third deposit of carbonate richer
than the upper one. The owners of the Jodge
Pendry mine acted upon the suggestion, and
they were rewarded by striking at 800 feet be-
low ground, the second layer of carbonate, parts
of which assayed in the fabulous proportion of
Il, 900 ounces of silver to the ton. There is no
reason for supposing that what has been done
in the Judge Pendry may not be done in the
As other paying mines in this neigh
borhood. In view of such prospects
it is difficult to speak with moderation Of the
future OF Lake county. In his address to the
Legislature the governor estimated the silver
product of 1879 at $11, 900 900, against 50 7OO-
900 in 1878. The general estimate of miners at
present is nearer $30,0O000O than $21 100000
Up to this time the smelters have taken no ac-
count of ores which carried only 40 ounces or
less OF silver to the ton. But when all the new
smelling works are in operation it will be
found pretty profitable to reduce ores which
yield $40 to the ton. 1t would seem to trespass
upon the credulity of your readers to set down
in black and white the number of tons of this
so-called Glow grade" ore which are in sight in
this neighborhood, and which have never been
sent to the smelter. There is enough however
to make sensible stir in the value of silver
throughout the world.-Corr. N. Y. Evening
