and being O. good swimmer she seized q
board that was also washed out, and hav-
ing drifted a long way from the shore was

The loss of property in Town is chiefly
amongst the poorer classes, who Eve III

BILE loss amongst the upper classes, and es-
pecially the merchants, whose stores ana

large quantities of their goods destroyed,
while the merchandise lying at the
Wharves, and on the Beach was nearly all
carried away into the sea. Inc sugar
Plantations in the immediate vlclnlty OF
the Town, lying within the course OF TINS
food. have suffered very severely, and it is
almost impossible to estimate the damage
done to them in the destruction OF the
growing crops and the carrying away OF @
LARGE norton of the land. In some places
yawning chasms of 20 feet deep and from
so to 100 feet wide and nearly a quarter OF
a mile long. nave been washed out In pla-
ces where all was cane land before. The
Coleqe Estate is q severe loser, and SO are

most seriously. We understand TOO ina
the Canada and some more distant rs

the loss of life it has caused, is quite I'M

Sir,-I q directed by the Council Of The
British National Association Of Spiritualists to
address gon In reference to the letter published
in the Mail Of the l2th inst, from Sir g. Sit
we'll and Mr.. Won Buch respecting = seoHce
held on the 9th inst, at the rooms Of the asso.
citation.
The letter Of these gentlemen presents a sub
staotially accurate account of what occur
red, except in the passages which attribute to
members of the council of the association ON
cislly present q desire to cloak the sruth au0 TO
afford facilities for deception.
The association, in seeking to fulfil the OBJ
iects for which it was establiahsd-viz to assist
i~nuuirers into the truths of spiritualism-had
thought that they would be rendering . public
service by ~afording to members aud their
friends unable or unwilling to devote tne time
needful for Individual experiment an Opporta-
nifty of witnessing under favourable oTcum'
stances some of these phenomens aud tney
hoped that they had secured the best and moss
trustworthy means of so doing In engaging the
services of Mrs. Conner, who, as Miss Florence
Cook. was 80 co npletely and extensively
tasted by Mr.. Orookes, FRS, aud by manv
other compstent Investigators. including ooul-
mittees Of this association 10 recent expert
ments.
Mr.. Orookes' experiments extended over a
seri IS of years, were conducted in his own house
in the presence OF his own family, under cOudi-
tions that seemed to preclude deception. DIS
precautions against error were indeed MOST
elaborate, and bis testimony az to what ne
proved is public property.
The association was not unaware OF the TACT
that the most intricate bonds do not prevent
the liberation, by some means. of the medium.
They knew, moreover, strange as the TACT may
appear to many of your readers, that perfectly
unconscious persons can be and frequently are
made to persouate aud act a part wholly ire
~spectiye OF their own v~olition, just as the mes
merlo sensitive obeys the suggestions OF the
mesme,izer. And they did not under estimate
the extreme difficulty of presenting to unin"
structed persons satisfactory results. They,
however, deemed it their duty to make the
attempt.
They can but regret that their well-Inten'
toned efforts to this end should in this case
have had results 80 unsatisfactory as those
disclosed by the letter of your correspondents,
but they do not regret having made them. j.
am desired to add the expression OF
extreme concern on the part Of the oouncll OF
the association If, 10 the heat of the moment:
any expression should have been used OF
which your correspondents consider that they
have a right to complain.

THE CAPTURE OF GA SPIRIT"
To the Editor Of the Mail.


Sir.-We think the following facts will be
Interesting to the readers Of the Mat Some
fine 400. being DESTROYS OF investigating the
truths Of so-called Spiritualism, We were ad-
vi.ad nv an eminent Spiritualist to attend the
s6nnces held at SO, Great Russell street
[R,itish National Association of SplrltuahsisJ'
We WIRE assured that the SeGnceS conducted
at that asso citation were the most genuine IN
England, and uuder the %strictest conditions On
our first visit, the Medium being tied by one
of us with great care, no manifestations Hollow
al. Al the second visit Jan. q one OF US
AGAIN tied the medium, but under the direction
Of the Chairman, who Is officially connected
with tha Institution. A Esprit" soon appeared
Uhich wa were told was "Marie" and was re-
presented to be that of a dead child IL years
of age. She was dressed 10 white, her face
covered With a veil, and her arms and feet
hare. We were surprised to distinguish the
snnearance of o corset under the white robes,
and her voice an general appearance gave US
the IDEA that 1t was the medium herseli-Mrs.
Conner Tree Floris Cook. On the third visit,
.Tanuary 9th. we were accompanied by a FRIEND
Mr.. John C. Fell, engineer and editor OF q
scientific ~iournal. OF SO, Road lane L. o., with
his wife. The Esprit Marie" again appeared,
and rendered our former suspicious almost Ger
tain nv tina audible sound of undressing With
in the curtain and by the "uuspiritual" levity
of her behaviour and conversation. Ono OF as
by a sudden rush intercepted and gently held
"ths SPIRIT, while another dashed into the
curtains, and, drawing them aside, displayed
the mediums empty chair, with the Knot SIP
ned. bsr dress, stockings and boots, and other
discarded garments. There was sufficient light
from a baif.obscured candle for the captured
Mspirit" and all the above objects to be plainly
visible. which latter were handed round for IN
sDection. and examined by those present. At
ter a fsw minutes-to cover the confusion we
presume-,he candle was oxtinguishtd by the
official present, and We adjourned to the
room. All present, except the ofhclals, one
of whom took refuge in abuse, entirely agreed
with US and thanked Us for exposing the decep'
ton.
Now. Sir. we leave general conclusions on
Sniritualism to Others, but what we do claim
to have proved is that 10 the first society OF
Spiritualists 10 England, one OF ITS best msdi-
ums has bsen detected in personating the spirit
herself. Not wishing to further occupy your
valuable space, we shall be happy to give fuller
information to auy one Interested In the cause

SCHOOL MATTERS.

The Board OF Education has at length
got rid of the Sacramento Grammar School
imbroglio, but in way which cannot be
considered fattering to the judgment OF
the majority. a resolution has been
adopted declaring that so far as the Board
knows Professor Mcdonald is not incom-
petent and at the same time it has been
decided not to re-elect him Principal of the
Grammar School. This is like acqaitting
a man on charge Of murder, but at the
same time ordering him to be executed.
The defendant is held not guilty, and The
full penalty of the law is to be enforced
II Mr. Mcdonald is not incompetent, why
has he been removed II he has been re-
moved for any other cause than incompe-
tence, the public ought to know it. All
they do know is that he has been accused
of incompetence that he has been
tried in a very astonishing way; that
he has been purged by the formal
action of the Board and that not
withstanding this purgation he has
been removed, We predicted at the
beginning of the ridiculous investigation
had in the case, that the Board would find
itself in very embarrassing position at its
close; that ii could not, with any show OF
justice, condemn man upon such evil
dence but that it would be impossible to

HANCOCK AND TILDEN.

An interview has been brought about
between Hancock and Tilden, and the lat
ter is said to have received his successful
rival with genial hospitality, No doubt
this meeting was arranged to carry en-
enlargement to the Democrats who have
feared that Uncle Samuels interest in the
campaign would be slight, but we doubt
whether these fears have been allayed by
the incident Tilden's ambition has been
finally bafiied, and he must realize that no
further opportunity can come to him. His
party has practically repudiated him and
the fraud issue together, for though that
issue appears in the Cincinnati platform, it
is obviously absurd in view of the nomina-
tons actually made. Tilden has been
shelved, and he knows it. He has nothing
to expect from the party. and the party has
nothing to expect from him. He may have
received Hancock cordially, but he viii
not therefore enter the campaign in the
Generals behalf The nominee has nothing
to anticipate from the Sage of Cipher
Alley, and the Democratic managers are
no doubt apprehersively cognizant of this
discouTaging fact

THE "sUN" AT IT'S OLD TRICKS.

It is said that Charles a. Dana was one of
the passengers on the Inflated Seawana-
haka the other day, and though he escaped
death it is highly probable that his
nervous system sustained q severe shock
on the occasion. To his Generalization
through this terrible disaster may perhaps
be attributable the otherwise inexplicably
idiotic attempt Of his paper, the Sun, to
produce the impression that movement is
on foot to withdraw General Garfield from
the Republican ticket. It is true that
Mr.. Dana is neither prophet nor the son
of a prophet. In fact he has shown a
singularly unerring capacity for laundering
in all his attempts at prediction hitherto,
and this is why the Saa, though possessing
a very large circulation, has never in
fuenced public opinion. 1t would seem,
however, that any man in the possession
of his senses must be capable OF
perceivipg the preposterousness of such a
story as this of Mr.. Dana, under existing
circumstances. The Republican party has
never had candidate of whom it had
more reason to feel proud, than at this
moment. The malicious charges coined
by his base and dishonest enemies against
General Garfield have already been SO eff
fectually refuted that they Will cut no
further figure in the canvass. A states
man, patriot, gallant soldier, tried
and true friend OF his country, there is no
more chance or thought of his being with
drawn than there was of the withdrawal
of Abraham Lincoln. No doubt the Dem
ocrats would like to have him out of the
way. No doubt Dana realizes that Han
cock cannot win the race against such an
antagonist. But it is simply silly for the
Sun to suggest that which only exposes
its own fears, and which is in effect re-
luctant admission of the invincible
character of the Republican choice.

Derrick had been in poor health for long
time, and becoming respondent, committed
the rash deed
The weather is cool and cloudy, with
strong indications of rain.
The river has not risen here more than
three quarters of an inch during the past
twelve hours, and is about at stand now.
The water lacks ten inches of being as high
as in 1876 1t is believed the worst is past.
Great damage to property is reported along
the Columbia, both on the Oregon and Wash
ington Territory side. Many farms are
completely submerged, aud the vegetable,
fruit and grain crops totally destroyed. Re-
ports from east of the Cascades received this
morning indicate that Snake and Columbia
rivers are at stand.
News is just received of the total destruc-
ton by fire Of the Cowlitz Catholic mission
in Washington Territory yesterday. This
mission was built in 1889. The FIRE caught
from the sparks falling on the roof. The loss
is not known.
