NATURALIZATION
Spirits muterialize and dematerialize in full
view Of the audience and are often recognized
by their friends. While the medium is in a
trance state, and in full view of the audience,
his spirit form is seen TO leave his body and
join the band of previously materialized spirit
forms that are constantly lowering near. They
glide to the piano, on which they produce the
most weird, soul-stirring and enchanting
music. SPIRIT-P0WE Err IN FULL GAS
LIGHT. This is something new and never
before attempted in this country. The invisi-
BILE powers are constantly producing new and
startling manifestations to convert the skep-
teal and strengthen the believer. Come aud

HENRY WARD BEECHER on lob
byiSts: Now there is a class of men
called lobbyists l am told that
there are very good men among
them. know that there are some
not as good, and some not good at
all. When man has come to that
state that he does not believe that
there is anything sacred in law
when he comes to feel that bribing
men is not wrong, and that it makes
no difference how you bribe them :
when man takes all that civiliza-
ton has left behind, all that law
tramples under foot. and uses them.
and plays with them, he has lost all
sense of corruption, all sense of
shame. Do you suppose that such
man could come home and make
a deacon in church, except for hy-
pocrisy? No, he is gone, and as
men deal with this government. ESQ
men may deal with the other and
become utterly unsavable."

IT Is said the chief aim of the
Kansas prOhibitory law is to make
perjurers, and in this it is eminentlv
successful. An exchange describes
a trial for alleged violation of the
law the other day. A seller of beer
was prosecuted, but there being no
proof, he was discharged. Several
witnesses testified, but succeeded
admirably in giving no evidence.
They swore they paid for and drank
sea-foam, not beer; it looked like
beer, tasted like beer, and they could
discover no difference between it
and beer, but in their judgment it
was sea-foam, though they did not
now.whatsea-foam was. Sumptu-
airy legislation is always objection
able to'a free people, and unpopular
laws cannot be enforced.

IN NEW YORK, the other day, q
girl was convicted of being q
woman, for which offense she was
sentenced to prison for six months
As girl she could not obtain en-
ployment, when she procured suit
of mems clothes, and being good
looking, "quick at figures" and
pleasant in manners, she was read
lily employed as clerk. She gave
entire satisfaction to her employer /;
but it finally became known that
she was not a male her arrest and
conviction soon followed. AS the
girl is highly respectable, and her
act was merely for the purpose of
overcoming temporarily the disad-
vantage of sex, it seems a cruel law
that makes her criminal and con-
fines her to the cell of the guilty.

IN CLOSING his argument before
the House elections committee last
week, Judge Mcbride referred 10
his client, Campbell, as representing
the patriotic and progressive citi-
zens Of the territory, irrespective
of party lines" If this be true, the
Legislature should at once provide
for free schools, and the census
officials, before their reports are
published, ought to change all those
figures which represent Utah in
anything like a favorable light.

OSCAR WILDE lectured in Louis
Vile one night last week, when the
Coatrie1-Jo Journal tried to reduce his
audience by suggesting that if the
people, instead of giving $500 to
"learn to live up to the sunfower,"
would give the sum to enable the
food sufferers to live up to a little
bacon and greens they would do a
Christian, if not al aesthetic, act.
It was no go however. The flood
sufferers went without their bacon
and green's, and Oscar entertained
one of the largest audiences ever
gathered in Louisville.

THE CANNoN-CampbelI case has
at last been reported to the House
of Representatives by the commit
tee on elections with the recon-
mendation that neither be given the
seat belonging to the Delegate from
this Territory. Minority reports
declare that both Cannon and Camp
bell are entitled to the seat. 1t is
likely that the majority report OF
the committee will be adopted,
though there have been instances
where such reports were rejected
by the House; and justice done in
the premises. With the exception
of one representative, Jones, of
Texas, greenbacker) the members OF
the committee reporting in favor OF
seating Mr.. Cannon are democrats
The remaining democrat on the
committee, Beethoven, and the re-
adjuster, Paul, it seems have
united with the republicans in de-
claring neither of the contestants
duly elected. The report is now on
the House calendar and can be
called up at any time.

Some sage has observed that ut was
better to have lived and been old when
the world was young than to live now,
though young, when the world is old"
BE hat as it may, we would not care to
live in either age without being insured
against rheumatism, unless We had a
supply of that never failing remedy, st.
Jacobs Oil. Mr.. Joseph Fihe, No, 230
Preston street, corner Walnut, Loui -
vile, KY, says:-'I have used St. ia
cobs Oil in my family for two years past,
and have never found anything that 1t
would not cure; there must, Of course,
be some limit to its powers, but l have
not reached it yet, and l can say that l
do not believe there are any muscular
ailments, nervousness or Inflammation
that 1t will fail to cure. My boy Theo-
dore fell down and sprained his foot;
1t swelled to two or three times its nat
ural size. l applied st. Jacobs Oil and
in half a day he was well as ever. 1t
cured me of rheumatism and my wife
of neuralgia.

The following statement of William
j.. Coughliu, of Somervllle, Mass, is so
remarkable that we beg to ask for 1t
the attention of our readers. He says:
In the fall of 1876 | was taken with
a violent bleeding of the lungs, followed
by a severe cough. | 500 began to
lose my appetite and flesh. l wa so
weak at one time that l could not leave
my bed. In the summer of 1877 | was
admitted to the city hospital. While
there the doctors said | had a hole in
my left lung as big as a half dollar. l
expended over a hundred dollars in
doctors and medicines. | was so far
gone at one time a report went around
that | was dead. l gave up hope, but
n friend told me of DR.. VIM. Halls
Balsam for the Lungs. l laughed at
my friends, thinking that my case was
incurable, but l got a bottle to satisfy
them, when to my surprise and gratih-
cation, l commenced to feel better.
My hope, once dead, began 70 revive,
and to-day l feel in better spirits than
| have the past three years.
~ write this hoping you will publish
1t, so that every Il afflicted with Dis
eased Lungs will be induced to take
DIR. VIM. Halls Balsam for the Lungs,
and be convinced that Consumption
can be cured. l have taken two bot
ties, and can positively fay that it has
done more good than all the other
medicines | have taken since my sick
ness. My cough has almost entirely
disappeared. and shall soon be able to
go to work. Sold by druggists.

At a meeting Of the Fairnount Park
commissioners, Philadelphia, held on
the 18th of May, the protest against BIZ
cycling in the park was thus sensibly
disposed OF, AS reported b. the BuIlotin
OF that city:
A communication from Gen. Isaac L.
Wistar, complaining of what he termed
'.the deadly bicycles" was received.
He stated that he had had 4 narrow cs-
cape with his life becausn % the fear of
bicycles entertained by ~ quiet old
family roadster belonging to him. He
thought that in this matter the smaller
Interests should give way 10 the greater,
and he added that he was afraid to take
his family to the park any more. ~
pay taxes TO the city for my horse and
carriage, and yet have no roads but
those in the park, and 1 dare not go
upon them except at the risk of my
life. Why cannot the bicycles be pro.
hibited from using the park after 2 p.
m.?" The communication was refer
red to the committee on supeiintend-
ence and police.

MI. Remak, chairman of the com
mittee, later in the session made a re-
port on the subject of bicycles in the
park, submitting all the communica-
tions and papers relating to the subject
which have been received. He said
that the first time objections to the BIZ
cycles were heard of was when the su-
p~erintendent complained that the horses
SHE'D at them. At the next meeting or
the committee Gen. Thayer submitted
a report in which he recommended the
total restriction of bicycles in the park.
Following, there were numerous reports
from guards and others stating that the
bicycles caused the horses to become
frightened. Some of these reports
were found to refer to last summer, but
no accidents were reported. On the
18th of April the superintendent went
to Mr.. Remak's office and reported a
fatal accident, resulting from a horse
becoming frightened at n Of the
''wheels." The commissioner at once
said that if that were so the bicycles
should be stopped altogether; but on a
little investigation it was found that
the man was not dead at all, and there
was a mystery as to the cause OF the
accident. Mr.. Remak then went on to
say that he had taken the trouble to
watch the horses Int bicycles, and far
from finding them Objectionable, con-
sidered them quite IN addition to the
beauty of the park. Where one horse
SHE'D at a bicycle, six became fright
ened at water carts, or ut parasols, or
at brilliant articles of clothing worn by
the ladies. In conclusion Mr.. Remak
thought the board had better let the
whole matter alone. The other COM
missioners took the same view Of the
matter, and the various papers were or.
dered to be filed.
