As Justin Mccarthy fairly states in
his ''IIistory OF Our Own tines: The
sovereign is always supposed to under
stand the business OF the state, to con-
slider its affairs, and to offer an opin-
ion. and enforce it by argument, on any
question submitted by the ministers.
When the ministers find that they can
not allow their Judgment to bend to
that OF their sovereign. then indeed
the sovereign gives way or the min
listers resign. In all ordinary cases the
sovereign gives way" Queen Victoria,
while carefully adhering to the consti-
tuition, has never allowed herself to
become in any sense mere flgurehead.

that she wished to know beforehand
what he proposed TO do in a given case

She further intimated that having once

To show how particular the queen

He said that last year before he be-
thing say to his inner consciousness.
Go TO Lake Pleasant, go to Lake
Pleasant" He went TO the lake, which
is the leading New England resort for
spiritualists. and had scarcely entered
the grounds when a medium stepped
up to him and said: There is a big
brave walking by your side. and he
has something to say to you" Newell
treated il humorously. but II was re-
peated. He was accompanied by his
wife and sister, and the latter said:
Bradley, don't you remember your
talk with Uncle George? Perhaps he
has something to say to you" At this
moment young girl who was walking
past the group threw up her hands
and shouted. Right. rightT THAT
girl is unconsciously a medium" said
the first medium who had saluted Brad
ley.
His sisters words revealed a CONVEX
sation years before when he and his
uncle had said to each other jokingly
that whichever died first should appear
to the other. directly IL possible. and.
II not possible. through some medium.
Newell had long forgotten this COM
pact The medium said big brave
stood by his side; the dead uncle
weighed $50 pounds.
During his stay at Lake Pleasant
Newell says he visited a medium, who
told all his past history and predicted
nearly all that has since come true.
Other mediums made similar predic-
lions. All spoke about a black, heavy
box, which was to be of great impor-
lance to him; but IL has not been found
yet. The mans sincerity and evident
honesty in telling us these things inn
pressed us all.
He denies that he is spiritualist
and says he knows nothing about
hypnotism. The impression gained of
him was that of man OF strong will
and great hypnotic power, although he
seems wholly ignorant as to what his
power is. Many persons declare that
their pains vanished when Newell
touched them, but many others felt nc
effect whatever. Probably one-haii
think they are benefited at the time
