A BOGUS GHOST.
Ths Tricks of a Medium Exposed.

Ths Tricks of a Medium Exposed.
Boston Advertiser.
There is no end to the folly of the
credulous. Those who have watched
the spread of the materializing spirit
seances in this city during the last year
have had proof enough of this. Last
night Mrs. Bliss, of 80 East Newton
street, began, as usual, by explaining
that this seance was her religion, and
then followed the usual iugglery. A
figure in white appeared, and then Lit
tie Billy" in dark nautical costume
and then another figure in white was
very demonstratively affectionate to
some of the sitters. After time n OF
the audience grew impatient and threw
his arms about the figure as she danced
up to him, crying, "Stay, oh, stay!"
The spirit C?) struggled violently in a
very ieshy way, and half a dozen of the
persons who were managing the per-
| Torrance threw themselves upon him
| and dragged him back. The spirit (?)
ran back into the cabinet, followed
closely by some of the observers.
Matches were lighted and blown out by
the confederates. The gas was stopped
up, but still more matches were lighted
and another burner found. One of the
! gentlemen was collared and dragged
out, but he slipped
back into the cabinet. The medium
was then on the floor with a stalwart
friend standing over her. Her shoes
were in the corner and her s~tockinged
feet were visible. Her arms and neck
were entirely bare, but the muslin robe
which she had worn as a ghost was
wrapped round her waist and tucked
under her. Her dark dress she had
caught up and pinned round her shout
ders. The cap and little blue skirt
front which she had worn as BILLY"
where lying by her, h~alf-hidden, but
these and the shoes were picked up and
preserved by the investigating party.
Meantime there was a regular tussle
outside, ending in the turning of the
little party out into the hall ~andlocking
the door. Before they left, the medl-
nm had succeeded in getting her dress
partly on, but was afraid to rise to show
her paraphernalia. Altogether, says
one who was present, "it was a complete
expose of a plain humbug." Doubtless
some person will deny it. There is nc
end to fools. But half a dozen or more
gentlemen saw the whole thing, and
there can be no doubt about 1t.
The Mineral argus., 1884-04-24

counter in large numbers, and for
hours till far into the night, the mourn
full procession kept moving on. 1t was
a sickening sight, and one 1 can never
forget.
1t soon became silent again. Despair
rested on the face of every rebel we
could see. Chaos ruled everywhere.
The enemy had staked their all on the
throwing of the dice and had lost. We
watched a long time for the advance of
our comrades, that the work of over
throwing the foe might be completed,
butt came not. We have since learned
why. Meade was too timid. Phil
Kearney at the head of a division would
have swept the rebel army out of exis-
tence. Phil Sheridan in Meade's place
would have done it. The old sixth corps
was there ready for the work. The
wal might have been virtually ended
then and there, for with Lee destroyed
the Mississippi open, Vicksburg and
Port Hudson in our hands, little would
have remained to be done.

ABOUT EGGS.
HOW II Is That They Cost SO Cents a DOE.
en-German LINED Eggs.

en-Gsrman LINED Eggs.
1t vas too pad 1 hal to sharge you
feetty cent. 1 shoost make two cent on
dot tozen of aigs," said an uptown gro
GER who was selling eggs Yesterday.
He told the truth. He paid 48 cents
a dozen, wholesale, if he bought his
eggs the first of the week" said w. s.
Dixie, a commission merchant, when
asked if eggs had been selling at that
price. "The warm weather early in the
season started the hens, and eggs came
in so freely that the market was very
weak. A good many got frightened
and sold ont. Then the weather came
around cold again, and stopped the sup
ply. The stock in hand here was not
large, OF course those who had held
their stocks made some money. In fact
eggs were 50 scarce the first of the week
that [ do not know how we would have
lived if we had not received a supply by

of lime is Stacked with eight or nine pals
of water; the water is drawn off, and
the eggs are packed in it. The
lime water closes the pores in the
she'll and excludes the air. The eggs
will then keep two or three years. But
the white OF the egg gets watery, and,
besides that, the liners do not pickle
the eggs until they are afraid
that they will spoil. Out of l.
900 barrels of lined eggs received
here only 200 will be gilt edged. The
German process leaves the white in
such a natural condition that the i'm.

fresh ones by retailers. The only thing
to prevent it is the fact that these pre-
served eggs cannot be boiled. They
crack open every time, of course. In
every other respect they are as good as
