next years work. I am going over the i whole business again, and I'm going to stand high in everything. I can do it, I | believe, although" here he stopped-'it may bs that good many are smarter than I am" The visitor went away and left the par son standing at the door of his humble dwelling, with the Pope and the Harman all, another grind, another filling up of the chinks and crannies of his already busy life with Apocalypse and Palimposest and mediatoril trinity and Wesley's dia- lectics and Hermeneutics, and all for what? Not, certainly, to enable him to preach Christ to the people of Hauppauge.
 Dr. Fayette HalHs Book on the Civil
 War.
 Dr. Fayette Hall, the dentist, of this city, has issued the first part of an illustrated work written by himself, which will appear in twelve numbers, and is entitled "The Secret and Political History of the War of the Rebellion" For frontispiece pie ture of Dr. Hall is given. The work vio- lently attacks Abraham Lincoln and his cabinet, charges Lincoln with gagging the press and with lust for power and with being inspired and influenced by spiritual mediums. A sample of the spirit and tenor of the work is seen from the follow ing extracts:
 Abraham Lincoln was associated with spiritualism and mediums He was under l their advice and instruction, both before and after his nomination and election and | during the whole time of his occupancy of l to pif f11o1t ct | the means, through Horace Greeley, of his nomination-aa the dark horse-of the convention of 1860.
 | "He consulted them continually, and they told him that the spirit of Attila, I king of the Huns, was his controlling spirit, that Attila would keep him at the head of the government as long as he lived, that the government was to be changed to suit the time and occasion, and that he was to be established for life as dictator. Abraham Lincoln was fool enough to think that it was to be SO, and was conspiring to carry out the instruc- tions of Attila when Wilkes Booth ended his grand scheme.
 "In the summer of 1860, 8 clique of po- litical intriguing spiritualists met at the 1 house of noted medium, or mediums, as the whole family claimed to be mediums, by the name of Laurie, living at Washington, or it's immediate vicinity, and held a seance, when the head of the house, Gran ston Laurie, purported to be entranced and influenced by the spirit of Robert Ran tout of Boston and then and there nomi- mated and declared that Abraham Lincoln of Springfield, Illinois, was to be the next president of the United States.
 "At this time it was said that Horace Greeley was interested in and was investi gating spiritualism, and had the Fox girls at his house, and was in the right condi ton to be made use of, to nelp to carry out the plans and purposes of those concern ed. MT. Greeley was the man who hac Abraham Lincoln nominated as the darl horse of the convention of 1860, and h. was the only man at that convention wht had that power, for, as the New York Fri bune said, so it must be. MT. Lincol1 was elected by the electoral college, but b, about one and one-half millions minorit, of the popular vote of the people.
 "Some say that Abraham Lincoln is st enshrined in the hearts or his countrymel that it would be an utter impossibility t. change that feeling and sentiment
 That is all wrong. He is not nor neve was enshrined in the hearts of the intelli gence of the country. The cat and crocodiles of the rule wer enshrined in the hearts of Egypt, and en .shFeuded in the rags of centuries, but ex posture to the elements and the light o day crumbles them to dust. Exposure o the dark and secret workings of Abraham Lincoln, and those connected with him, t the light of truth and reason, will show
 fabric with as little sense and foundatio to commend him to the adoration of tn world as the cats and crocodiles of Egypt.
