1ectly to the object These ieat5 are
performed by information obtained
through the Involuntary muscular
movements. Of Which 50 little Is geu-
orally or accurately known, and they
fall ilnmeasurabIy short OF proving,
or even rendering probable hat the
mind ever does, or can, leave It's
body during life to wander IN space,
to commune with other minds, or 20
peer into the hidden recesses of he
inner consciousness of other El!nds,
and then betake itself again to its
usual abode,
Indeed, privately, Mr. \. did not
claim to be able to read the mind OF
another, in any proper sense Of the
word read. What he does is to
seize a clue, and then 10 follow on
from clue to cine, until be accom-
plishes his purpose. If be fail to
hit on a clue, his test fails Of course.
From all this the following con-
clusion most obviously follows,
namely, that il an operator can
surely be put into communication
with the mind of q subject b. the
Joining of hands or otherwise, so as
TO read and know that subjects
mind, whenever such communica-
ton be established, the feat Of mind
reading ought at the same instant
take place ; so that all the details Of
hunting, trying, spelling, DC, as
ordinarily practiced TO ascertain
and make known the reading, are
sheer child's play and unworthy OF
serious attention. If an operator
can in truth read and know the
the thought of bis subject, why not
speak it out at once and thus dem
onstrate the power beyond cavil.
These considerations together
with the fact that tentative trials are
made with gradual reaching Of the
dnal result. are conclusive to the
writer that the Wanted Mind Read
ing is myth and that the facts,
by some supposed to support its
claims, are more nationally and bet
ter explained by the laws of
physiology.

A MAN named Campbell, in a lee

A MAN named campbell, In a lee
ture recently delivered in Maysfeld,
Ky, advocated the establishment OF
drinking bar in each family, as pre-
ferable to public bars, and the wife
of the family, he advocated, should
be the keeper of the bar. The fol
lowing is what he said on the point:
Bar-keepers in this city pay, on an
average, $500 per gallon for whisky.
One gallon contains an average OF
sixty-fve drinks, and at ten cents q
drink the poor man pays $3.50 per
gallon for his whisky In other words,
he pays 80 for the whisky and S45O
to man for handing it over the bar.
Make your wife your bar keeper; lend
her two dollars to buy a gallon OF
whisky, and every time you want a
drink go to her and pay ten cents for
it. By the time you have drank a
gallon she viii have $3.50, or enough
money to refund the 81 borrowed of
you, enough to pay for another gallon
of liquor, and have balance of 50.
so. She will be able to conduct fu-
ture operations on her own capital,
and when you become an inebriate,
unable to support yourself, summed
and despised by all respectable per-
sons, your wife will have enough
money TO keep you until you get
ready to fill drunkard's grave.

The Committee on Southern out

The Committee on Southern out
rages viii not want for material, as
for example, the report of District
Attorney Leonard, OF Louisiana, to
the United States, is to the follow
ing effect:
Caddo Parish: K:iled-from fifty
to seventy-fve negroes. Many driven
from their homes. Republican meet
ings disturbed ard b ken up by
armed bands, and tine leaders men
aced with assassination. The laws
OF the State and of the United States
h2grantly violated.
Natchioches Parish: Chairman of
the Republican Parish Committee ar
rested with other local leaders and
driven from the parish under menace
of death if they presumed to return.
Ouachita Parish: Three prominent
Republican leaders killed, and Re
publican voters compelled to join
Democratic clubs to save their lives.
Moreh0use Parish: Local leaders
compelled to abandon the canvass to
save their lives.
jackson Parish: The Republican
candidate for Congress insuited and
driven from the parish.
Tensas Parish: Invaded by bands
of armed Democrats from Mississip-
pi; fifty negroes killed and numbers
driven from their homes
On the report of the District-At-
torney The North .7merican remarks /:
OF course we shall be told that
these are Radical lies" But it will
probably turn out that these charges
are far short of the truth in quite
another way. When men speak the
truth to the disciedit of party that
thinks no more OF slaughtering few
negroes and white Republicans than
one Of our butchers thinks of killing
an OK FOR market, they do so at the
peril of their lives Is it likely that
a law officer of the United States
would concoct such report as that
out of the whole clotr ? II he tells
the truth simply, he become mark
for the knife or pistol of the assassin.
Is it likely that he would go out of
his way to incur the hatred OF the
savages who bear rule in Louisiana :
And besides, it is no secret thai nei-
ther negroes nor Republicans moncp-
Ollie the lying in that region The
entire history Of southern politics is
a tissue OF falsehoods, deceits, and
false pretences, and carpet-bag poll
ticians cannot be charged with more
than their share of the miserable
record

Compulsory Education.

A compulsory education bill viii be
introduced In the Legislature this
winter.
A portion of the people of TIE
country have gone wild on the ques-
ton of fert bock education. and all that
class seem ready to sacrifice individ-
ual and family rights to the State, or
to any organization, so as to obtain a
rudimentaTY text book education,
which can be obtained in the common
schools without endangering the lib
critics of the Republic
Many are deluded into the belief
that intellectual development, as ac-
quired through text books used IN
the schools, is remedy for all the
ills that afiict society; they confound
intellectual development with moral
training.
1t is not intellectual development
that makes the honorable man and
woman. If it were so, his Satanic
Majesty, the Devil, would be high
toned character. for he is ali intellect,
and Hell, his home of misery, re-
sounds with curses that are as nicely
expressed as the most intellectual
can desire, but in his place not one
moral sentiment is ever heard.
1t is moral training, or education,
that makes the high-toned man and
woman. But no one advocates the
establishment o. compulsory moral and
religious educational schools
The country would take to arms TO
resent, and repel, any act that would
authorize the priest, the preacher,
the deacon. the elder, or the steward
of the church to enter the family cir
Gle and disTnember the family, and
break up its authority, its sanctity,
under the plea of imparting more
thorough moral and religious train
ing or education.
The principle that underlies com
pulsory education is not different
from the principle that underlies
compulsory morals, or religion.
Because a man here and there re
fuses to send his children to the com
mon schools, is no reason why the
Republic should be endangered by
the Introduction Of despotic princi-
pies in its government, such ss com
pulsory education laws.
Because thousands of people do
not attend church, is no reason why
the Republic shall be endangered by
the Introduction of despotic princi-
pies in Its government, such as COM
pulsory religious or moral laws.
Free religion under the Roman En-
pire WAS brought TO an end IN union
OF Church and State in The fourth cen
tury. To bring the grand common
school system to an enu, unite Edu-
cation and State, and it VIII be &C
complished, as well as the end of the
Republic in a few generations.
To learn of the iniquities and hor-
rible despotism that springs out OF a
union of Church and State, read the
Book Of Martyrs.
Unite education and State, through |
compulsory education laws, and des-
potism as rigorous rs that of union
of Church and State Will be the in
heritance OF your children, century
hereaftear, and it will require as many
individual sacrifices, and as much hui
man blood to rid the world of the
heresy as it has taken to rid Europe
OF the hercsy of q union Of Church
and State
We hope that the Senator from
TINS Senatorial district and the mem
Der from this county will both vote
against the compulsory education bill
when it comes before the Legislature.

THERE is story extant about Q
son of the Emerald Isle who sat on
the fence and fairly roared with laugh
ter, and shook himself almost into
commissions, as he thought what rare
sport it would be to sly up to an old
bull quietly feeding in the lot, and
seize him by the horns and just rub
his nose in the dirt. He tried the
experiment, and when he got through
revolving in space and landed on ter
IN frma, and had sufficiently recov-
cred bis breath, he remarked: "Be
gorra, it was well 1 had me laugh
iirst!' The great Democratic mind
and the independent press, which has
been so hilarious about evidence for
the Blaine Committee to feed upon,
finds counterpart in Pat. The rapid
accumulation Of evidence of frauds
and bulldozing has fairly taken away
their breath"
