Taking the broad fact OF mind and matter
having been ndjudged separate entities Or
states of being, the theosophists proceed to
build upon this stated fact. They claim that
while the body lies sleeping, or inert through
trance, the soul, by which they mean the
mind, or will, is capable Of travelling to dis
tant places, noting tho events, holding con-
verse, ere she, the soul, returns to her waiting
and unconscious body. A theosophist speaks
of his astral body" OF its power to visit those
places which his soul, or mind, or viii, has
previously determined upon visiting.
To mention tho condition first, theosophists
state that an laura" surrounds them, not
only theosophists in particular, but all people
Aura is species Of atmosphere, lmprcSS-
mated with tho electrical essences, animal
magnetism, or chemical gases that our bodies
are constantly discl,arging; this, encounter
ing the ordinary air, is not dispclled or dis
seminated, az might DO naturally expected;
but, to on il human essence for the sake Of
illustration, this discharged human essence
gathers to itself a certain portion OF the
ordinary air that surrounds US, which it
perneataS with our own desires and vitality.
Therefore it will be seen that this aura" is
always with US, and ready for all emergencies.
The way that transference is affected is that
a theosophist wishing to appear in distant
city or foreign land seeks Seclusion, and then
bends the whole force OF his mind upon the
desire to reach that place. Finally ho either
falls asleep or succumbs to a self-induced
trance. During the sleep or trance the body
lends portion of its vitality, or moro cor
rectly q certain portion of having been elected
by tho will, tho soul is enabled to clothc her
self in the waiting aura, and thus become an
astral body, an exact counterpart OF tho
sleeping one, and then proceed upon her aerial
journey-DostoA Record.

The Pay Of Government Printers.
PROBABILITY THAT BILL. WILL BE REPORTED

IN THE HOUSE INCREASING 1T.
The House labor committee will probably re-
port a bill to the House increasing the pay of
the printers in the Government Printing office
TO 90 cents per 1000 ms" or so cents per
hour. This was the rate paid prior to 1877, at
which time 1t was reduced TO the present rate
of so cents per 1000 'm's" or 40 cents per
hour. The printers complain that the charac-
ter OF their work Is such, and the rules so strict
that they can not make as high wages as they
Public Printer Rounds confirmed these state
ments, in answer to questions put by the COM
mittee yesterday, but made no recommenda-
ton nor suggested the propricty of raising the
rate. The printers claim that they cannot make
more than 500 to $500 per year at the present
rates. The committee Is agreed that the higher
opinion as to whether the clause making the
reduction should be repealed or IA new law
enacted

FURNISHING REASONS roR ApporNrMEyrs-
WHY SOME sENAroRs DO NOT WANT THE
PAPERS PARADED.
II was the intention OF the democratic Sens
oors I" hold another caucus yesterday AFTER
noon, ana number had been notified
to that effect, but after oonsulta,ion
ana pretty free interchange of opin-
ION, informally, 1T was concluded that
such meeting was unnecessary. The caucus
committee had really nothing TO report beyond
the iact that the President saw no objection to
the senate having papers on die In the depart
ments respecting nominations, but that he
would not consent to furnish his reasons for hav-
Ing made appointments. II anything occurs to
make caucus necessary the chairman is i'm.
powered to call one.

cants and appointees remain buried in the files
OF departments the men who had only the pre-
tended support Of their Senators must remain
IN Ignorance OF the deception practiced upon
them There are democratic Senators, how
ever, who have no cause to fear the wrath of
their constituents, and they have counseled
Ihe PresiCent to furnish the papers relating to
appointees to be sent to the Senate when
called for: This advice was given by some, IL
not all, OF the caucus committee, and SO far as
can be ascertained the extent of the
Information which the Senate will
get will be in the papers and
them alone, as ii seems to be distinctly un.
derstood that the President viii not formally
explain his reasons to the Senate. At the same
Hme, IL Is understood that the President is
wiling 10 give senators who may call upon him
individually Information with regard TO nomi-
nations, the fitness or character OF which is
questioned.

OUR COAST DEFENCES.
Report Of the FOrtihcations Board.
ONE HUNDRED AND TWENrY-s1y MILLION DOL
LARS NEEDED FOR COAST DEFENsEs.

IL Is expected that the Secretary OF War will
submit the report of the Qualifications board to
the President this afternoon, to be transmitted
by him to Congress. The report is a very ex-
tensive one, and goes into all the details of the
necessities for complete coast defenses The APP
pendices are very vOluminous. It is estimated
that the amount required to place the coast de-
fences in thorough condition is 81 &c, 600, 900.
IL is recommended that an appropriation Of
S21 100000 be made at this session of Con-
gress, being the amount required to Sc
cure the necessary plant for beginning the
construction Of the needed heavy guns,
such an appropriation is necessary, as 1t will
require a large contract to warrant manu-
facturers in erecting plant to enable them to
furnish the steel forgings. The gun foundry
DOard some time ago recommended the estaI-
Iishment of two government foundries, one
at Washington and the other at the W atervliet
arsenal. The Notifications board do not make
any recommendations as to localities, but
state that two 1ocndries are necessary. The
recommendations refer entirely to Qualifications
and make no provisions for the navy except SO
Tor as torpedo boats are concerned which will
form a part of the coast defenses
