phenomenon has broken out and not night
passes that circle of people are not gath

manifestations. There is young boy in
this city who claims to be a mateEializug
medium. Persons who have visited the
seances ASSERT thst he can materiali2e IN
broad daylight, and has done so to the sat-
isfaction OF the most skeptical. On one
occasion nearly dozen persons were pres

called for he walked into the middle of the
room and was u eisdt nearly minute.
All present expressed themselves as satis-

lights were turned down, and in few
minutes she was free. The test was not
conclusive, as her hands were small and
wrists quite supple. The slate test was
next in order. She wrote the first name
of man asked for who died some years
ago in California snd afterwards when
asked as to the manner of his death, she
wrote without hesitation, "Shot through
the heart" which was quite true. She
then laid her hands npon the table, and
the rapping was distinct and loud enough
to be heard in the next room. On the
child's saying that abe could produce raps
anywhere, the writer produced square
tin can used to store bread in, and,
placing it in the center of the floor,
asked the girl to produce raps with the
light turned up. She laid her hand on
the lid of the can, and without any
movement whatever discernible, caused
raps to come from the inside Of the can.
She then turned the light down, and
caused hands to manipulate the faces Of
those present. One of the party held the
child's hands in his own, but this made
no difference, Hands such larger than
the child's stroked the writer's face. and
though he turned lamp up to fall blaze
the instant he felt the touch, he discoy-

In our dispatches this morning the news
comes that John S. Gray, the defaulting
Secretary of the San Francisco Harbor
Commission has been caught at Guaymss,
This suggests the saying that when troubles
como they come altogether. The wife of
the unfortunate Gray was an estimable
young lady of Carson-Migs Hattie Ad-
ans. Her parents were pioneers in that
city. Mrs. Adams is woman Of remark.
able character, and for years supported
large family by her own efforts in keeping
hotel aud lodging house, before and since
her husbands death. After her daughter
married Gray and went away from her
house she had three or four Sons whom she
was doing her best to rear as good, respect-
able citizsns. Several years ago one of
these boys was shot down and killed by
crank doctor in Carson. Now comes the
disgrace of her daughter, who has large
family of children. And upon the heels of
this, Mrs. Adams has been summoned to
San Francisco to be with this afflicted
daughter In additional distress, one of her
children, since the flight of her husband,
having fallen upon pair of scissors and
probably put its eyes out.

CRAVE ROBBERY AT oAKL AND.

The following is from the San Francisco
Bulletin of April 9th:
The particulars of q case of body snatch.
ing at Oakland has just transpired. On
Tuesday last Clara Loeper, girl 81 years
old, died at the residence of her mother.
The cause of death was pneumonia. The
girl was deformed by curvature OF the
spine. She had never talked and had never
walked, and was generally deemed az idiot.
She was unable to eat in the ordinary way
and was fed with spoon. On Thurs
day the body was Inferred in plot five OF
Mountain View Cemetery. This plot
is above the vaults, is near the Pied.
mont road, and is an isolated part of the
cemetery. The case would be most inter-
esting for scientific examination, and the
mother, apprecisting this fact, placed q
wire and piece of paper near the top Of
the grave. The day after the burial Mrs.
Loeper visited the cemetery to strew some
flowers on the grave. She observed the
removal of her little signs, and immedi-
ately surmised that the grave had been
opened. She reported the fact at the Office
OF the cemetery, and the earth was removed
from the grave. The coffin was empty.
The upper half of the lid had been taken
off and the body taken out. The clothing
had been cut from the body and was lying
in the grave. j. S. Collins, Acting Super.
intendent Of the Cemetery, immediately
went with Mrs. Loeper to the police office
to report the robbery of the grave. After
consideration Mrs. Loeper swore out a
search warrant, and armed with this pro-
cess posse of officers, under Sergeant
Chase, visited the California Eclectic Medi.
cal College, on Clay street near Eleventh
The body OF the girl was found on dis.
secting table. The body was in the
same condition as when buried, except
that the hair was cut from the head.
The body was taken to the Morgue, where
it now lies. Strenuous efforts are making
to discover the robbere, but thus far no ar
rests have been made. DR.. d. d. Crowley,
Secretary and one of the faculty of the
Eclectic College, in reply to question ask
ing by whom the body had been brought to
the College, said that he was not prepared
to answer. The faculty would investigate
the matter, and until such time as the in.
vestigation be made, he could rot answer.
The mother OF the deceased eirl is a
widow. and lives at 904 Washington street

TIE NIGHTINGALE.

There Is a bird, q plain, brown bird, 81
That dwells In lands afar,
Whose wild, delicious song Is heard,
With evenings first white star.
When, dewy-fresh and still, the night
Steals to the waiting world,
And the new moon glitters silver brigh,
And the fluttering winds are furled.
When the balm of summer Is in the air,
And the deep rose breathcs Of musk,
And there comes u watt of blossoms fair
Through the enchanted dusk.
Then breaks the silence heavenly strain
And thrills the quiet night
With rich and wonderful refrain,
a rapture OF delight
All listeners that rare music hail,
All whisper softly: "HarkI
1t is the matchless nightingale,
Sweet-singing III tho dark"
He has no pride OF feathers fine,
Unconscious, too, Is he
That welcomed as thing divine
Is his clear minstrelsy.
But from the ft,llness of his heart
His happy carol pours;
Beyond all praise, above all art,
His song to heaven scars.
And through the whole wide world his
fame
Is sounded far and near;
Men love to speak his very name;
That brown bird is so dear.

Artistic I'OOtatOOIS,

The foot of the fashionable woman Is
just now on exhibition, like Il rare thing
at fair, and we need hardly say that
it is made to look it's possible best. In
the first place, somebody discovered
that footstools might be developed from
clumsy chunks of dull carpet into art
objects, The consequence is that the
rooms in fashionable houses have been
decorated with quaint, novel, and often
beautiful articles taking the place of
the Old-faShiOnGd foot-reStS. The
covers are either Of costly woven mater
ials or are deliberately embroidered. Im-
ported French fO0tStOOls arc mounted
in frames upon four light feet, which
arc covered with plush, and upon which
rests a cushion upholstered in jute plush
satin vclorrs, silk velvet, or a combina-
ton of different fabrics. The cost of
some of these new toys is sometimes
pretty high; for the covering is often of
as good quality as the choicest parts of
a ball-dress. They have applique work
of exquisite Eastern designs, OH deep
toned plush or velvet, outlined with
gold or silver.
Fo0tstools that purporL to be relies
are priced as treasures, though some of
these arc of extremely doubtful authen-
ticity. We know of one which-so its
| owner declarcs--camc from Father
uyacinthe's chapel in Geneva, where
he used il to kncel on before his lccturn.
Another is proudly exhibited as having
been brought from Wagner's audience
room. Hcirlooms and mcmcntoes in
the way Of fabrics are ruthlcssly cut up
for footstool purposes. A piece Of For
rests "King Lcar'' costume, bought at
the recent sale Of the tragcdian's ward
robe in Philadelphia covers the stool of
a leading New York actress. An
artists wife has sacrificed Il figure out
Of his most cherished specimen of Gobe-
lin tapestry, and we suppose she would
have as readily cut cherub from an
original Raphael il it had been within
reach.
A favorite stool has no legs at all, but
is in the form of double cushion, with
rings Of gimp and heavy tassels at the
| corners. In contrast with these soft
ones arc stools fatty coyeredwith en-
bossed leather, studded with fancy
headed nails, and depending for beauty
and value on the flneness of the carving
OF the the mahogany, ebony, or other
wooden frames. The shapes are square,
round, octagonal, and irregular. Paint
ed covers are also In vogue. A bunch
Of flowers on light satin or few sprays
scattered carelesly is a usual design. A
fancy style is made in miniature imita-
tion Of a camp-stool, the seat being in
plush, embroidered In raised work, and
the stool of gilt iii sticks SO slender that
O little weight would inevitably break
them down.
