MATERIALIzED sPOOKS
Henry Ward BeecheP Investi-
gates with Unsatisfactory
Results,

New YORK, February 26.-Mrs.
Robert A. Hull, the spiritualistic me-
dun whose naturalization in Aus
tMralia, last summer, attracted much
attention, is now living in Brooklyn
with her husband, at 352 Adelphia
street. Her seances are attracting
many persons, and appointments to
attend them have to be made weeks in
advance. While to persons ready Of
belief the materialized forms alleged
to be produced are entirely satisfac-
tory, there are some who have wit.
messed what Mrs. Hull can do who are
entirely incredulous.
Among other we'll known persons
who have e Mrs. Hull's perform
ance recently, is the Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher. He has attended two
seances of the medium. At the first
he vas much impressed with the ap-
pearances produced, but consideration
produced so much ~seasonable doubt
that he desired to have the expert
ment repeated. TO this end a special
eance was recently given to test the
power Of the pedium. In addition to
Mr.. and Mrs. Beecher, the Rev. James
Beecher and Colonel H. @. Beecher
were among those in the party. The re-
suit, as Mr.. Beecher Enthusiastically
expressed il, completely sponged out his
favorable first impression. The sup
posed materialized forms were too
material, he says, For their
weight caused the floor to creak,
and breathing could be heard. y
Mr.. Beecher says he would be glad to
have life hereafter scientifically proved
by the return of a spirit, but in every
test for this there has been a hitch at
the last, and the result has not been
secured. In regard to The medium,
Mrs. Hull, DR.. Urowell, a spiritualist
of Brooklyn, has offered her $l00 to
give him and some spiritualistic
friends, several test exhibitions of her
powers under fair and proper cendi
tions, the money to be paid if after
seeing them the majority of the wit
nesses vote them genuine. Mrs. Hull
has not accepted the offer. She was
detected in a fraudulent materializa
ton before a company of s~piritualist:
in Portland, Me-, in 1875, in much the
same manner as Mrs. Crindle- Reynolds
was recently in Brooklyn. and an &C.
count of the matter was published a
the time.

gent. The references to Mr.. Sargent,
even among Republicans who are most
pleased with Mr.. Conkling's nomina.

one seems to doubt that the Commit
tee on Foreign Relations will report

night, whether Conkling will accept
or not. His nomination is still the
universal topic of conversation at the
hotels. At the Arlington, which is
the hotel most affected by New York
men, the same diversity Of views was
found tonight as on two nights pre-
ceding. Some of the New Workers
who know both the President and
Conkling held that the whole transac-
ton was in good faith; that the Presi-
dent knew that Conkling would accept
when he nominated him, and that
Oonkling would fulfllhis engagement.
Others held that Conkling had no
init nation Of the nomination until it
was made, and that Arthur was to this
hour ignorant of the intentions of
Conkling.
The fact is, nobody here knows
anything about it, and all
that is is said is pure
guess work. Nobody will know,
until Conkling's nomination
has been confirmed.
A number Of Conkling's friends in
and out of Congress have writtenH him
him to accept. Others have
written him asking him to decline.
One enthusiastic admirer, a Represen-
from a Western State, wrote:
Your friends think the Supreme
Bench a good attitude from which to

mand of the people, which will come

ConkIlng,s NOMINATION..

Special to the Cincinnati Commercially
WASHINGTON, February 26. = AS
the Senate will attend the Garfield
memorial observances on Monday at
noon, and both the Senate and the
House will adjourn Immediately after
the services in the Hall of Representa-
tiyes, it is scarcely possible that the
Oonkling case will be disposed of ear
lier than Tuesday. In the meantime
Mr.. Crowley has left Washington for
New York, where he will, it is uader-
stood, meet Mr.. Uonkling for the pur-
pose Of consulting with him about the
nomination, and return here on Mon
day night.
1t is now remembered that ex-Sena-
tor Platt was in this city a few days
after the resignation of Justice Hunt,
and it is said at that time, he had a
long consultation with the President t.
There are persons who assume that
the Presidents intentions to nomi-
nate Mr.. Oonkling was communicated
to the latter by Mr.. Platt.
A gentleman who is a warm person
al friend Of Mr.. Conkling, said to-day
that he believed the ex-senator
would take the Office. He is a man
of simple tastes" said he, ''and his
salary while on the Bench would be
sufficient to maintain him comfortably.
He is worth now, | think, from $50
600 to 100000. Although L have
every reason to believe that he has no
ambition to become President, yet the
Supreme Court is not by any means a
burial lot. If he should accept, he
would not be closing the door forever
against such preferment as might come
to him from the Republican party"

It is really amusing, is it not the way
in which ministers wives and daughters,
if not sons (for they are proverbially
voted ce,y bad) are held up as exenplars
and expected to be patterns of excellence.
The wife of one Of our clergymen hap
pened to attend this very afternoon
tea" of which l have been speaking,
and the poor lady has heard of it since
from number Of different sources. Mrs.
Grundy and all Grundyyille, in fact, evi-
IDENTIFY expected her to "adorn the moral
and point the talen Of her husbands
Ash Wednesday sermon, if we may judge
from the criticisms pronounced upon her.
Several ladies very amiable reioiced
to meet her there, for it relieved their
qualms of conscience to see their rector's
wife indulging in mild enjoyment ds,r-
ing this sober season. Who will under
take to supply sensible and abundant
reasons why any thing more should be
expected of Il woman because she has
been unfortunate enough to marry
minister than those not so situated For
my part l think the penance involved in
the marriage alone is sufficiently great,
and the necessary sacrifices entaiied upon
her thereby, without complete cession
of all optional rights and privileges.
And now, soood bye.
