JOE COOK NOT A SPIRITUALIST
He Purges Himself OF the Charge
and Considers Dr. Prime Given Over
to Error.
From Chautauqua Lake Letter.


This evening | had short talk with
Joseph Cook, and almost wilted before
the piercing gaze of his blue, rolling
eyes, which lie opens wide while in con
versation. When | spoke of Prime
having deducted "spiritualastic" matter
from his lectures, his eye flashed us he
said:
Il am no more Of a spiritualist than
Dr. Prime. These gentlemen here,
friends of mine, know il.
"Wcll but DR. Primes editorials con

II answered everything. wrote
him two letters and all the points were
crushed. DIR. Prime started out with
an error, and now consider him hope

Here Il distressed gray-haired lady,
finely dressed, came up to see him.
He motioned her to seat and said he
would be with her. | happened to
know that this lady was mildly insane.
so informed Mr. Cook
ooh, see, there is something wrong
with her"
She held on to him for about quar-
ter of an hour; then he returned and
said
She wants to be appointed to a POI

all insane asylums, selecting therefrom

A FATAL SPARK.
q Lovers Cigar Causes the Death of
His Sweetheart


A terrible accident, resulting in death
occurred near the village of Mount JOY
yesterday afternoon. The victim was
Miss Tillie Natter, Il young lady about
10 years Of age, resident of the above
place. The particulars attending the
sad case are as follows: Miss Natter,
who had been visiting a sister living at
Marietta was on her way home in COM
pany with gentleman friend. In some
unaccOuntable way spark from the
cigar he was smoking set fire to the
clothing of the young lady, When the
flames were discovered both parties used
their best efforts to extinguish them
and would have been successful, but
and, seeing her life in danger, started
on full run away from her cOmpan-
ION. This action caused the fire to
envelop her whole body. A carriage
containing two young men came along
and the occupants seeing the terrible
condition the girl was in, jumped from
the carriage and with the aid of q
blanket smothercd the flames, which
had destroyed nearly all of her clothing
Her flesh was burned in a frightful
manner. She was taken to her home,
IA distance of five miles from where the
accident occurred, in a carriage, and
the agony suffered by her during the
trip was fearful On the arrival home
medical aid was summoned and every
thing possible done to alleviate her suf
ferings, but of no avail, as death came
to her relief this morning
Much indignation is expressed against
the wife of one Henry Kaufman, a
farmer living near where the accident
occurred, from the fact that when it
was proposed to take Miss Natter in
the house after the accident permission
was refused, which necessitated hauling
her during all the intense suffering over
a rough road to her home, five miles
distant The parties who assisted in
smotherng the flames were severely
burned about the head, face, and hands.
The young man who caused all the
suffering keenly feels the position in
which he is placed.

Col. Bob. Ingersoll is a smart mana very
brilliant man, an orator and-an infrel.
Probably one of the finest specimens Of Ameri-
eau oratory ever listened to BY a political as
semblage was delivered by him in the nation
al Republican convention at Cincinnati in
1876, when Blaine was placed in nomination
for the presidency. This effort stamped him
as one of the foremos if not the foremos
orator in America. He has been and is still,
the bright particular star in the lecture field.
Many people listen to him and read bis books
who take ne stock in the sentiments ex-
pressed in either. His brilliancy commands
their attention, while his avowed infdelity
may meet with no response in their hearts.
He is in free America, where he may saw
what he pleases and the people may do as
they please about listening to him. But In
gersell is too ambitious to long pursue this
negative kind of work. He evidently is not
satisfied with his progress in propogating his
peculiar kind of belief-or, more properly
speaking, his absence of belief-in the Bible.
and proposes to make a new departure. He
has abandonded his defensive position, and
has become the aggressor. A few days ago
he organized a society in Chicago, the objects
of which are to stop the reading of the Bible
10 prisons and in schools, and for q general
assault on the whole line of religion. What
good can result in the change should he be
successful in his efforts and overturn the
position which the Bible now occupies in the
community at large, we are not informed.
While heretofore he has occupied a field in
which he was comparatively undisturbed, he
has now entered an arena in which he will
find the christian sentiment of the civilized
world arrayed against him. The New York
Herald, in commenting upon his recently
organized secularizatien scheme, echoes the
sentiments of a majority of those who make
no profession of religion, but recognize in the
Bible and its teachings a power for good,
when it says: "The proposition IS con-
ceived in the same spirit which emboldened
the announcement of the Passion Play in
New York, which is an assault upon the civil
lization of the age. The Chicago assemblage
which connected the scheme to sseculiarizes
the body polite, ignore the fundamental
principles of modern society and government,
and their craze against christianity will only
consume themselves"

The Chinese Treaties.

NEW YORK, Nov. 3O.-Thc Tribune's
Washington special says: Two treaties have
been negotiated with China instead of one i:
The first relates mainly to the question of
Chinese immigration. and the other is a COM
merc;al treaty. IL The first, the Chinese gov
eminent practically leaves the subject of
Chinese immigration to the decision and con-
troll Of the United States. In return for this
concession SOME new and important COM
mercial privilege, have been granted in the
second treaty which regulates the whole sub
ject of commercial intercourse. Hereafter
Chitese shipping will be placed on the same
footing with thai ofthe most favored nation. 1t
is expected that the duties paid last summer
under protest, on 3 Chinese steamship which
put into San Francisco, will he refunded
within a week. Tie second Chinese vessel
will arrive at San Francisco and he allowed
to enter that port upon the same terms as are
imposed on ships Of other nations.

There is a strong probability that Gen.
Grant will be elected by the legislature OF
New York to represent that state in the Unit
ed States senate il the place of Herman, whose
term expires on the 4th of March next.
Grants friends desire to keep him in training
for the presidency in 1854. New York will
be then, as it was in the late campaign, the
pivotal state in the presidential election, and
the Generals chances for carrying it would
be greatly enhanced by his becoming its rep
resentatlve in congress. Grant has developed
a consuming appetite for political honors,a and
unless the republican party creates a life po-
silion Tor him in the army he will always
prove a formidable obstacle in the way of
othe, aspirants to the presidential chair. 1t
is seldom that men who have once occupied
that exalted office have accepted subordinate
official positions. The younger Adams and
Andy johnson were, we believe, the only ex-
presidents who have served their country in
congress after the expiration of their presi-
dental terms. New York may make a wise
selection in electing Gen. Grant as its sena-
tor. Unless the recent canvass has unloosed
his usually silent tongue his speeches in the
senate chamber will never be remarkable for
their length. But If he should vote all right
his tacilurnity can be overlooked.

Political SReculatlons.

New YORK, Nov. 30.--Tbe Washington
correspondent of the Times had a long inter-
view with Congressman Berry, f"cm which
the following is cleaned: Senator Booth,
who has been visiting his parents in Terra
Haute, and Pacheco, who is in New Yolk, are
both en- route here. Berry believes that Gen.
Miller Will undoubtedly be the republican
choice for senator in California, but possibly
the democrats will form a combination with
disaffected republicans and re-elect Booth or
some other mai opposed to Miller. Berry
claims that Miller's connection with the Alas
ka Fur Co. is dista steful to SEINE republicans.
Berry is not very sansuine Of Miiler's defeat,
but rather thinks he will succeed.
The coast democracy were injured rather
than aided by the Mercy letter, as they re-
garded Ga"tield's position on the Chinese
question as bad at any rate. Berry antlci-
pates a stalwart admin s~tration, with Grant,
Conkllng, Cameron and Gorham to the fore
Gorham controlling the patronage of Cali
fornia.
