1t can safely be said that no party OF
ladies and gentlemen ever made themselves
more agreeable to hosts than did these
representatives of the Empire State, 1t
was more than a pleasure to entertain
them, and they carry back with them to
their northern ht0Mes not only the best
wishes Of our people, but a standing invi-
tation to Stauntons hospitality whenever
they may come. They leave behind them
only the most pleasant recolleetiens of their
visit, and the strong desire ON the part OF
our people to meet them more frequently
and know them more intimately. This is
the universal sentiment, and it is par
tieularly emphasized by some of our young
men, who, if the signs fail not, will take
occasion shortly to extend pressing invita-
tions to a limited number of the fair
daughters of New York to take UP a per
manent residence in oGg MIDST. But Of

ANOTHER WoRD About HAzrNa.-

ANOTHER WORD ABOUT HAZINa.-
The Baltimore Herald is much mis-
taken in its man, when it asserts that
Superintendent Ramsay's efforts to
suppress hazing in the Naval Acad-
envy, will not "bear much frait."
When that gentleman took charge of
the Academy, hazing was almost
openly carried on in that institution,
and the feeble efforts to restrain it
were laughed at and defed by the
cadets. Under Captain Ramsay's
SUPPLEMENTARY whatever hazing has
been done was done under cover of
greater secresy and of much miider
type. With firm hand the Superin-
tendent laid hold of all abuses that
existed in the Academy under his
predecessors, and now there are few
it any Irregularities in any of the de-
partments, and the Cadets were new
er under such complete discipline.
They are taught on their entrance
into the Academy that they must be
gentlemen, and so successful has this
rule been enforced, that the commoa
expression of our citizens is, that
''never since the establishment of the
Naval Academy, have we had so orr
derby and well-behaved set of young
gentlemen as are now within the
walls Of the Academy"
The suppression of hazing in any
and every form is but q question Of

been done by him in that direction

Concerning Finger Rings.

While there Is q touch of barbarism in
wearing rings on the fingers, yet the civil.
lied hand has 30 long been adorned by
them that it would look plain and unfin.
ished without its hoops Of gold. The an
cient Romans wore the ring on the point,
just under the nail. The Hebrews wore
it on the right hand alone. The Greeks
wore their rings on the fourth finger Of
the left hand, and the Gauls and Bri ttons
on the third finger of the left hand. In
Pliny's time, the betrothal ring was an
iron hoop set with a lodestone instead
of a gem. The Romans were even greater
slaves to fashion than we of the present
They had Winter and Summer rings, the
weight and color of the ring being adapted
to the season. The Greeks wore weekly
rings, which were charms, and were always
intaglios and canoes. Talismanic rings
were also in use among the Romans. Sea-
rings we're heirloons and of great value in
business transactions. The wedding ring
is of great quantity. 1t is a common thing
to find wives who have been married a life
time, yet never had allowed the wedding
ring to slip over the finger joint. II is con.
sidered unlucky to take it off. To lose il
indicates q misfortune.
As your wedding ring wears
So wear away your cares.
1t is only on very old hands that the
worn thread of gold is now seen.

We were shown yesterday a very re-
markable vegetable freak lent up by "Gus

that there are male and female sexes
among all vegetables as we'll as among all
animals. We believe 30 now more than
ever. The curious orange is before US,
and il it is not male, then our idea of sex
distinction Is not at all clear. 1t looks as
though the mother tree in her interesting
season had fully marked baby boy strongly
in her minds eye. The thing is worth
seeing, and will repay q visit to the EN-
pire for that purpose. 1t was on quid
nunc's table for a while. but it made con-
fusion among the visitors. If Mark Twain
had ever got an engraving of il in his
"Huckleberry Finn" he would have been

behind the scenes.

Most actresses do not like to have their
admirers behind the scenes. The rouge
and powder and paint are too repeiisns ct
close quarters, and yet they are all needed
before the glare Of the foot-lights. One
can understand how love making must
become mechanical on the stage and kisses
at a distance. Indeed, to go close to an
actor and actress. and see the grease, paint
and false hair, the powder that rubs of on
everything it touches, the heavily darkened
eye-iashes, the wig that Is frowsy when
YOU come close to it, M wonders that the
embracing and emotion, the kissing and
love.making, can be made to appear SO
real and natural, and yet to be an effective
actor or actress one must have the freedom
that comes from the knowledge that 10 Is
all %pretense.

Spurious Notes Amounting 10
$1,000 0 Manufactured.
James ]. Brooks, Chief of the Secret
Service Division of the United States
Treasury, in his annual report, shows that
the number of arrests made was 423, a
large majority of which were for counter
feiting or passing counterfeit money.
Forty-nine persons were acquitted Of the
charge against them and five prisoners
escaped from custody. The amount of
counterfeit money captured or surren-
dered during the year was seas, $50, a
large proportion Of which was in flash
notes.
A marked decrease is noted in the dir
c~ulation Of cards in imitation OF
United States Treasury notes for
advertising purposes. Similar crafty
ing results are reported in the sup
preston of metal tokens in imitation OF
United States coin. The complaints OF
former years as to the imitation OF gold
and silver coins for use as bangles, were
not 80 numerous in the past year, other
and more attractive substitutes having
been presented by manufacturers as they
became better acquainted with the re-
Qulrmeutb VI tu0 law 6oNuA ouSA
Similar results have attended the labors
of the division among the dealers in old
and rare obligations of this and other
governments, including postage stamps.
paper currency, etc.. the circulation OF
which have been largely diminished.
Chief Brooks says that the events OF the
past year give evidence Of the revival Of
the manufacture of counterfeit paper
money, which was practically suspended
during the years 1882 and 1883. He also
saws that although he reports for the past
year the smallest percentage OF circuia-
ton of counterfeit paper money since the
irst issue Of such money, he is OF the
opinion that there is to-day in the hands
OF the counterfeiters nearly S3O0,0OO
OF new spurious notes Of the denom-
nations OF $40 and $40, which have been
produced since Jan 1. 1884, and he adds
that it will require continued vigilance OF
the police and people to prevent serious
loss from this source. Counterfeiting OF
coin has not been usually active during
the wear. Mr.. Brooks also notes with
pleasure the fact that bank officers are be-
ginning to realize the Importance OF brand
ing spurious or counterfeit notes coming
into their hands.

ORIGIN OF sPrRrrUALusM.
The Excitement That Followed ats
Appearance.

ABPehEthce.
D.. T~atmage.
Spiritualism in America was born in
1847, in Hydesviile, Wayne county, N. Y,
where one night there was q rapping al
the door of Michael Weekman, and a sec.
ond rapping at the door, and a third rap.
ping at the door, and every time the door
was opened there was no u there. Proof
positive that they were invisible knuckles
that raped at the door. In that same
house there was a mau who felt q cold
hand pass over his forehead, and there
was no arm attached to the hand. Proof
positive it was spiritualistic influence.
After awhile, Mr.. Fox, with his family,
moved into that house, and they had
bangings at the door every night.
One night Mr.. Fox cried out,
Are you q spirit2" Two raps, answer in
the affirmative. care you an injured
spirit?" Two raps. Then they knew
right away it was the spirit Of a
pedler who had been murdered in that
house years before, and who had been
robbed OF $500. Whether the spirit Of the
pedler had come back to collect the $500
or his bones / do not know, but from that
time on there was . constant excitement
around the premises, and the excite
ment spread all over the land,
and Judge Edmunds had his head
turned by the excitement and he
says that he saw a bell start from the top
Of a shelf in the closet and heard it ring
over the heads of the people who were in
the closet, then swing to the back parlor
and ring over the heads of the people in
the back psrlor, then swing to the front

the floor. A young man was said to have
been lifted from the earth and carried
through the air by an invisible power, and
giving an account of it he says he went
60 rapidly he could not count the
posts of the fences; and he held in his
hand q saw-buck and a square, and he says
while he went they ratified together and
made most delightful music. All these are
matters Of history. People said: "Well
now we have a new religion" But in all
ages there have been necromancers-those
who consulted the spirits of the departed
-charmers who threw people into q
mesmeric state, sorcerers who, by eating
poisonous herbs, can see everything, hear
everything, and tell everything; astrolo-
gers who found out q new dispensation of
the stars, experts in palmistry, who can
tell by the lines in the palm of your hand
your origin, your history, and your des-
tiny. From the cavern on Mount Par
nassus, it is said, there came up 81 air,
an atmosphere, that intoxicated the
sheep and the goats that came near by,
and under its influence the shepherds
were lifted into exaltstion, SO that they
could ~foretell future events and consult
with familiar spirits. Long before the
time of Christ the Brahmins had all the
tsble-rocking and table-quaking.
