cessful term Of school In tl,e Penmel
school house, last Friday evening,
with a grand exhibition. The school
house was crowded with people from
the entire neishborhoud and the ex.
e~rcises were well appreciated.
Speaking about the destructive
fres that have visited this town In
the last few years, a citizen recently
remarked: 1T 10 strange that all
these fires have occurred in the same
family: about two ur three years ago
James Smiths house burned, less
than q year ago T.W Smiths house
was reduved TO ashes and two weeks
sgo JOSEPH, Smiths house became
the prey of the aames." This is
rather remarkable, the three persons
being brothers.

spiritism Spreading in Paris.

Spirit manifestations are becoming fash
ionable in Paris Just now. and the Figaro
gives an interesting little account OF them
1t appears that the ghosts are deserving
the famous haunted house OF MOntrouge,
SO that q quorum OF COLLINS in good
standing Is seldom gathered there for the
transaction OF business. But the pranks
which they play In the Rue Ducouedic are
something extraordinary: and q large num-
bcr of sensible people. and some men OF
science too. watch the phenomena. 1t is
extremely difficult for any one who Is not
well known to tho people who keep COM
pany with the ghosts, to DO admitted to any
one OF the meetings OF the lugubrious frater-
nifty. But every night. according to the
Figaro. hundreds OF tables turn and thou
sands OF pencils write down puzzling COM
munications which the affiliated honestly be-
lieve to be the language Of the Invisible.
According to some OF the scientific inves-
tigators who have become members. the
results obtained are only valuable as prob
lens. They are the result OF strange.
magnetically established correspondence
between the mind OF the medium and that
OF the person who works upon it, and. of
course. they have no connection with the
presence Of the invoked spirits. The great
danger in the practice of this queer pro-
fessiOn is that ii tends To inspire those who
believe themselves favored by the spirits
with an extraordinary conceit which leads
to insanity. But there are many who find
In conversation with the dead sort Of high
delight; and this explains the success Of
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1892-02-04

certain mediums who are presented In so
ciety Just like famous tepors. and paid
Just rs highly. The communications OF the
spirits are regulated in their interest by
the power OF the medium. and some OF
these virtuosos OF the magnetic fluid have
often admitted that. when they are not In
good trim. or rather out OF good super
natural working order. they never hesitate
to resort to tricks rather than compromise
the success OF an evening.
With the doctors and scientific men some
OF the clergy are also becoming interested
In the thing. The Abb6 DE MEIssAs. who
attributes to magnetism all the mysteries
OF the spirit movement as we'll as the phe-
nomena OF suggestion. at the last Catholic
Scientific Congress- in Paris succeeded in
getting permission to study extra natural
affairs He brought over Cardinal RICHARD
to the opinion that priest may. without
wounding his conscience. investigate and
study the mystic arts. And at the recent
conference at the Ccrcle Catholique du
Luxembourg this same Able DE MEIssAs
offended the convictions Of many Catholics
In an address upon the existence and the
effects Of psychic forces and the mode OF
union OF the soul with the body.
At all events the spirits seem to be gain
ing ground. at least in Paris.

What Il the Truth?

A charge Of great seriousness affecting
the honor and fidelity OF Mr.. EoAS. our
Minister to Chill. Inns been put forth by tho
Washington Post The allegation Is that he
has made use ofhis position az representa-
two OF the United States TO obtain for his own
son the opportunity OF prosecuting claim
Of i've millions or more against the Gillian
Government: and that the young man is
still engaged In the undertaking.
Tho truth or falsehood OF this imputation
ought TO be ascertained by competent au-
thonty. and officially declared. At present
It does not seem to DO clearly understood in
Washington. We have caused inquiries to
be nude at the State Department In the
earnest hope that the story might lie
promptly and conclusively denied: but
instead OF q denial we have received
only an assurance that the officers
OF that department cannot tell. OF
course this means that they do not know
what is the fact either way: for. had they
possessed the information. they would Ger
tainly have been prompt to vindicate tho
character OF a gentleman and public
servant In Mr.. EaAN's situation.

party In the national contest is to win" As
q practical and sane person Mr., GIBSON
does not believe that parties exist for defeat
or for tho purpose OF favoring the whims
OF individuals. Moreover. as a practical
statesman. he sees that tho Democrats in
tho House will BIO merely talking in at

will be changed to suit Democratic ideas

Meanwhile the duty Of Democrats Is to keep
