ssnbled Ia the public school building 10
witness q spiritualiStic exhibition. After
due waiting the medium, OF whom great
things were expected, or at least such
thugs as are supposed 10 take place az
such meetings, arrived, aud the meeting
opened BY his reading q short treatise
UPON the future condition OF the soul,
which, according TO the writer, would De
ia the hereafter just what II IS While lnhao-
iting its earthly tenement OF clay; that is,
If one improved their talents IL would be
that much better for such an one IN the
world 20 come. After this, three persons
were selected from the assem0lage 10 sit
around a table with tho medium, one at
each side. with their hands spread upon II,
and the little finger Of each touching that
Ofthe one on each side. While this was
going on, those present were requested TO
sing hymn, which was done, and TO give
the spirits more time, another was sung,
and still another; meanwhile the medium
had sat with closed eyelids, and
drawing deep breaths, and as the
last notes of the hymn died away, he stood
no, gave himself a convulsive wrigSle and
proceeded TO deliver an address IN deep,
sepulchral tones, calculated 70 convey tue
impression OF proceeding from an unknown
inhabitant of the spirit land. The audi
ence. whose patience had been considerably
taxed by the tedious preliminaries, now be-
came decidedly weary, though considerable
suppressed mirth was INDUCED IN. 30 the
chairman asked the medium 10 inform them
whose spirit was speaking. But the Spir-
10 D was difiident, and would not permit
his or her name 10 appear, much 70 the re-
gret of the audience The discourse, how
ever. went on, the only interruption being
the occasional paUSes Tor copiOus draughtS
of water taken by the medium, indicating
that the aforesaid spirit CD was perhaps
not memter Of the Prohibition party.
During his talk 1.-The spirit" limited darkly
at the wonderful things that would be done
i'm the way Of producing photo
graphs Of departed dear ones and
Communications from them TO
convince the skeptcal that spiris do re-
turn. The medium at last sat down and
the chairman, eager to appease the curiosi-
" of all asked him 10 give some trapping"
or other token or manifestation Of an I'M
earthly character. This he endeavored TO
do by having those at the table place their
hands IN the position taken 10 produce the
trance (D. But success failed 10 crown
his efforts and after another long wait he
have 10 up, attribUtiug his failure to the
lack of harmony and and earnest gearing
after things spiritual in his audience, which
he thought had not been selected Judiclous-
Nv for the occasion, anu that some time IN
the future under more propltlous clrcum-
stances the spirits might De induced 10
manifest themselves. One OF the questions
put bv the chairman while the medium was
dominated by .he spirits was, Are there
env spirits hereln To this the medium
vouchsafed no reply, and the audience kept
on smiling. Reccommendnga all 10 investl-

the assemblage dispersed, and doubtless IN
many minds the question arose, what
