Gratifying to the Bridegroom.

Lewiston Journal,
The habit of half reading anything
may be dangerous. especially if one
proposes to act on the information
thus gained, but it is seldom that SO
unfortunate an accident occurs as n
reported by the Phillips monograph.
That paper was once guilty OF the
blunder OF inserting a marriage notice
in the space allotted to the deaths.
A careless Spiritualist medium in look
ing over the obituary notices for O
list Of spirits who should appear at
the next seance hit upon the name Of
this particular lady, Mrs. 0ctavia G..
Russell Of Phillips. A few days later
the bride was astonished to see In a
Spiritualist paper that she had electri-
fed q Boston audience by appearing
to them, though with q condition
arising from earth still c!ingingt to herr
and announcing that she Lad safely
reached q home, and met with kind
faces and loving welcome, and will be
perhaps not only helpful to herself,
but also to the friends who remain on
EARTH" This report was no doubt
gratifying TO the Bridegroom, but how
must the medium have telt when she
discovered her errorf

To the Editor ofthe Scientific American:

organs which diseased Kidneys so east

Any one can get the per cent. of
affirmed, reversed and modified cases,
if at all curious to know. / ask every
voter to carefully examine the figures
above. The first case passed upon by
the supreme court upon appeal from
Judge Livingston was at the April
term, 1872, in 10th Heiskills Reports,
after which time the Judge seems to
have found nothing worthy of his no.
tice up to 7th Baxter, when his next
case is decided, an interim of about
ten reports.
This mornings Messenger contains
an attack upon Judge Somers based
upon the candidacy of Mr.. John r.
Walker for the same office. The ar
ticle is written over the signature Of
"Citizen,' and charges that the can.
didacy of Walker is lin the interest
of Judge Somers, and to draw away
the republican vote from Judge Liv-
ingston.
Judges Livingston and Somers
are democrats, or supposed to be, and
Citizen comedies that the candidacy of
Walker will injure Judge Livingston
oy drawing off the republicans to
Walker, and that these republicans
but for Walkers candidacy are for
Livingston. Hinc iLJg lachrmG. Is
not this rather curious democracy?
Is 1t not strange that a democrat would
rely to beat democrat upon votes
from that source?
The very arguments of Citizen
against convention convince every
one that a convention Is badly needed.
But Citizen seems to be "riled" be-
cause he says all the lawyers are for
Somers. He might have added that
the mass of the democracy are for him
and against the man that relies upon
the votes of republicans to beat
democrat.
But to show you the straights of
Judge Livingston, he has the negro,
McElwee, going over the district or
the negroes in his interest,
aud is perst nallY writing letters to nes
groes soliciting their support.
God never made nobler man than
SoWers, and the democracy can't DO
better than to support him. MAX.
