Prince versus IIumbu9,

An American spiritualist named Bastan gave
seance in the imperial palace Vienna, Aus
tria, on the 18th, at the invitation of the Crown
Prince Rudolph and Archduke John. Bastian
summoned spirits from room adjoining the
exhibition hall, whereupon tall figure in
mourning appeared before the spectators
Suddenly the crown prince pulled string clos
ing the secret door, when the spirit, who was
Bastian himself, made frantic but vain efforts
to escape amid the laughter of the assemblage.
A Chicago Special says: Bastian, the Amer
lean spiritualist, who was unmasked as fraud
by the crown prince Of Austria, is well known
here. A few years ago, connected with man
named Taylor, he had rooms in the building of
the Religio- Philosophical Journal, spfriualis-
tic paper, and gave regular seances at which
many startling spirit manifestations were
made. Their career was brought to close by
b. {. Keller, q reporter for tho Times, who ex-
posed the fraudulent practices as thoroughly as
done by the crown prince. The identity of the
mediums and spirits, which they pretended to
materialize was thoroughly established.

The Central Pacific railroad people

The Central Pacific railroad people
have refused to pay taxes for several
years in California They have fought
assessments to the better end, which at
last has been reached by decision of
the Supreme Court. The contested
taxes all for the years of 1880, 1881,
and 1882, in full. The amount is near
ly two millions of dollars. One million
has already been paid, and the State
treasury will now receive between
eight and nine hundred thousand dol
lars additional. This victory of the
people of organized monopoly which had
defied the laws, is source of great
satisfaction in California.

Ar... lrS Message .

New York, December 4.-The
Sun says: No President has eve,
proposed more important measures
and none has stated his ideas in a
simpler and clearer style. The lit
erary form of the message is
rather scattering, however, but it
has the merit Of being short.
The Herald praises the MESSAGE.
as does the Tribune, the Word,
the Times and all the ether jour
nails.
The Sun says: The most i'm
portant subject referred to in the
message of the President is the
treaty with Nicaragua, for the con-
struction of an interoceanic canal
The details of the treaty are not
given, and cannot now be discussed
but the idea looks to a startling
and pregnant departure from the
policy hitherto pursued b. our Coy
ernment
The Herald says: The terms of
the treaty are such as will bring
the Clayton Bulwer treaty into de-
bate and raise questions between
the United States and Great Brit
ain concerning oblica ion.
The Democratic World and other
papers are silent regarding the
treaty.
