Col. FLANDERS administration of
the affairs of the State Treasurer's
office has proven him to be the right
man in the right place, and we note
with pleasure that his chances for a
denomination are daily increasing.
The St. Paul Dispatch in recent
issue says that Col. Pfander is al
most the unanimous choice of the
German Republicans throughout the
whole State, and we have also re.
ceiyed very many fattering reports
from various private sources. The
press of the State is busily engaged
in discussing the Gubernatorial
question and but little has been said
about the minor offices, but what
has been said about our State Trea-
surer was generally very favorable
to the Colonel. While a few Of our
exchanges think that two terms Of
any Office is enough, they are a unite
in saying that Col. Pfnnder has
made as efficient and Trustworthy
an officer as ever served the State.

count for many instances of elevation.
Those claimed by the spiritualists are
not well authenticated, and may more
reasonably be explained by ascribing
them to one or several of the causes
specified. The marvels of spiritualism
are performed in the dark where there
is opportunity for deceit on the one
hand, and hallucinatiOn, or illusion Oh
the other; and all the circumstances
are such as to defy thorough eXamina-
ton. DR.. II. relates the following case
which came under his notice. The
woman, q medium, bound ina chair
was seated at the end of long table.
The lights were out, and a blanket
hung over the window, notwithstalld-
ing the night was dark. The company,
with the exception of the mediums
husband, sat around the tables holding
each others hands. The faithful
kept npa .'dismal bowling while the
experiment went on. There was a
good deal of noise at the mediums end
Of the table which was partially drown
ed by singing. ''Suddenly she ex-
claimed, Now The gas was turned
on, and she was found seated in the
middle of the table still fastened to the
chair. . The spirits did it of course.
Still, Dr.. III. thinks her husband could
have done it without being detected;
or, us he afterwards ascertained by ex.
pertinent, she could have climbed to
the top of the table very easy without
assistance.
In closing his volume DR.. Hammond
says: SIN the foregoing pages the wri-
ter has attempted to give an outline
view Of some of the causes which pro-
duce many so called supernatural
manifestations, and which lead to their
acceptance by certain classes Of indi-
viduals. He has witnessed many spir-
itulistic performances, and has never
seen Il single one which could not be
accounted for by the operation Of some
one or more OF the causes specified. .
He further says: SEVEN if the causes
of all the phenomena of spiritualism
were entirely beyond our present
knowledge, there would be no proof
that spirits had anything to do with
them. On the contrary, the hypothesis
of spirits is altogether the least plaus-
IDLE which could be suggested. The
phenomena and the explanation have
nothing in common.

Spiritual deviation.

Written for the Review by o. P. Champlin.
Rising in the air against the force of
gravity is called deviation, which is "a
phenomenon Of witchcraft and spirit
ualism. Not only are tables and chairs
thus elevated, but the human body
has been also. This is the claim. The
unbelieving might say that the levita-
ton of the human body was on holluci-
nation or was due to legerdemain, OF
an actual fraud. There are many
stories OF saints rising in the air; but
these are credited and handed down
by those who not only believe in the
supernatural, but in magic, witch
craft and like things; and do not
always stop to inquire carefully into
them. Augustin Calmet gives Il long
list of saints who have been lifted up
by unseen powers as it was supposed.
DR.. Hammond cites numerous instan.
ces Of leyitation that have been hand
ed down, and thinks their true expla-
nation may be made by referring them
to one or other of the following caus-
es. L. 8. An hallucination OH the part
of the subject, OF Of those asserting
themselves to have been Witnesses.
The sensation or flying is common.
Dr.. H. cites several cases, of his own
observation, where both men and

foated in the air; but in quite every
case the subjects were the victims Of
