CHICAGO, II Il we'll known, Ia famous

reasons given for this movement. one

Of capital which Is expended on high

the Marshal thinks that The loss OF life

ABRAHAM LINCOLN NOT A
SPiRlTUALIsT.

FoR some time past statements have
been going tho rounds Of the news
papers that President Lincoln was a
Spiritualist, and was In the habit Of
holding seances In tho White House.
The story was set atloat by medium
named Mrs. Calborn Maynard. Col.
Bnndy, editor OF the Reii0io. Rhiiosopli.
cal Journal In Chicago, offered what
he termed corroboratlve evidence OF
Mrs. MaynRrd's statement. Bundy
went 40 far ~ to say that Lincoln was
advised from spirlt.land to Issue the
emancipation proclamations Bundy
also stated that II was n spirit medium
who first instructed Lincoln TO pro-
coed 10 the front, and ascertain by per-
sonal investigation the condition OF
the soldiers during the critical period
OF the war.
These reports received 30 much at.
tenilon from newspapers generally,
that the Washington correspondent Of
the Chicago Notgs called on John
Nicolay, the private secretary and In.
Innate associate Of Lincoln, for his
views on the matter. Mr.. Nicolay has
recently published wha, Is regarded a

now about sixty years OF age, lives In
Washington, ID. O., aud Is entirely On.
gagged In literary work. In reply to
the correspondent he stated that he
dismissed the tales ABOUT Lincoln's
splrimalism az idle nonsense. lie was
private secretary during tho war, and
resided constantly In the White House,
and he was positive that no seances
were ever held there. To his know

There are some people claiming 10 be

revelations IN regard to High Pfies's,

and commandments after the first
two or three years Of the history

Neither In law nor In logic will the
Hsrald's argument hold good. And In
theology II 10 ruled out by n hundred
ptccedeuts. Christ told his disciples
hrsl, 10 - ''not into the cities of the
0cniilcs," but "to thp Lost sheep
Of the House Of Israel" Then
lie told them 10 ego into
all the world aud preach the Gospel to
every creature" lie commanded His
disciples TO take neither purse nor scrip,
and not to take up the sword, then
changed the rule aud told thcm 10 take
both and II they had no swords to sell
their coats 10 buy them. Would those
who refused TO comply with the later
rules have been entitled "a holders OF
the "orlginal faith" 10 tho title and
property Of the Church "whethor they
