A BISHOPS sPIRITIsM.
The Organ of the American Spiritists Thinks
Bishop Bowman One of Them.

Boston Banner of Light.
Bishop Bowman preached the morning SER
mon Sunday before last before the conference
love-feast of the MethodiSts in this city, on
| which occasion occurred the ordination of a
number of deacons Like many another
good Methodist, the Bishop, with his large
heart packed full OF sympathy and his in
stinct for spiritual penetration, believes in
the ability of the spirit of man in its exalted
moments to look into the future world and
see what is there displayed for its delight
| and invitation. Could we all of us habituate
ourselves to the contemplation of that which
is not visible to the sense, but none the less
exists as a reality for the spirits vision
it would be better for our lives here
in throwing from them the almost
discouraging load of superstition which they
are made to carry like beasts of burden, of
no service whatever at the end of the Jour
ney. The Bishop discoursed, among other
things on death and dying. Speaking of the
different preferences for the mode of dying
Scriptural and otherwise, he gave for his that
of the end of the prophet Elijah. In making
mention of his personal trials and successful
conflicts in religion, he said that when for a
long time he lay so near death that all about
him were confident he would die, he got
glimpse of heaven. Many might, he ad-
mitted, think him crazy; but he declared he
was not crazy, and he had an abiding faith in
his intellect. He said that he knew he had
gone through tne valley. Whlle he was in
that state or condition he said he saw and
conversed with his daughter Fanny, who had
died at the early age of eighteen.
She appeared to him, he said, beautiful,
aerial figure and in the form in which she
was familiar to him before death He said
he asked her where her mother was and she
replied that she was in a distant part on
heavenly mission, but would be on the wharf
to meet him when the boat came in The
feelings of ali who heard the Bishops narra-
tive. so simple and so truthful were visibly
touched, and the sympathetic response of
very many was with tears Now why not
raise a rumpus in the Methodist church over
these trance recitals of one of its honored and
beloved bishops, and either discipline or dis
miss him from the church? He has talked
plain and accepted spiritualism, saying that
no doubt many persons might think him in
sane while doing so; but he insisted that he
was in the full possession of his intellect, and
knew very well what had passed and what
he was then saying 1t is actual visions like
this one which Bishop Bowman had, accom-
panied by conversation with spiritual beings,
that established the vital truth of spirit-com-
munion, and no caviling or criticism can
drive from the human soul the purpose to
believe that which it is created to accept as
its own. So .efr.ff .+st = >'''t

shall use statistics of the English bureau to
show she is far less so than England. In a
word, we have fastened the attention of in
telligent America upon English misgovern-
ment in Ireland, and we intend to keep it
there. l may be asked, What precedent does
history contain for justifying the hope that
the moral power of mankind will aid strug-
CLING nationalities? I'll go no further back
than to mention Greece Hungary, Montene-
gro; but mark, fellow-countrymen no coun-
try has ever been helped thus that did not
help itself. Go on, then, actively with your
organization. Bring all your societies
promptly upon the platform and under the
banner of Irish National League. Continue
as of old your noble work of benevolence,
temperance and charity, that when we work
for Ireland we work on one platform, under
one banner, by one method, and with one
aim-national self-government. He declared
that the inaugural statement with much in
teresting additional matter would be placed
in their hands at an early day.
At the conclusion of SulliYan's address he
was heartily applauded. The proceedings
closed at midnight by the audience rising
and joining in the chorus, God Save Ire
land" and three cheers for the National
League.

MR.. Finerty,s Grievance.

CHICAGO, May Sat meetingo the Sixth
Ward Land League to-day Mr.. John r, Fin
erty, its delegate to the late Philadelphia
convention, made a report. In the course OF
his remarkshe said he. went to the conven-
ton to do his duty, regardless of the political
unpopularity which it might entail. The
result was, he had been inisrepresented by
the Eastern press, which classed him with the
dynamite faction. He favored supporting
Parnell, and would not antagonize the new
league. Irshmen must rather suffer injus-
tice than have the English government be-
lieve they are not in harmony. People who
complained of want of free speech in Ireland
should consider that there was no free speech

BUCHANAN'S LOVE.



George Tcknor Curtis's Statement.
Il intend to publish the life of President
Buchanan in month or so, and will explain
why he never married. When he was a
young man he fell in love, but the lady died
suddenly and mysteriously, and her death
shadowed President Buchanan's after life.
While he was at the Court of st. James he
was very intimate with three ladies' sisters,
named Cation, from Baltimore He dined
with them and attended receptions proba-
bly,, with them, but 1 am certain that he
never fell in love with either of them. They
all married in the aristocracy"
To this W, H, Hurlbert of the World,
adds: ''Mr. Curtis is no doubt right when
he says that Mr.. Buchanan never fell in love
with either of the three sisters Cation, while
he was Minister of'the United States in Lon
don. Certainly he could not then have
fallen in love With Mary Ann Cation, March
ioness Wellesley, who died in 1858, the year
in which Mr.. Buchanan went to London. He
could not have offered to marry Louisa
Cation, Duchess of Leeds for she never be-
came a widow till 1859, three years after his
election to the presidency He might have
offered to marry Elizabeth Cation Lady Stat
ford, who became widow i'll 1851, and died
in 1862, but it is not at all probable that he
offered to marry her; and it will be better
for the curious in such matters to await the
revelations which Mr.. Curtis promises tc
make"
