What we do want is the truth OF the whole
matter, -for the truth will always prevail.
IfMrs. Eddy has discarded Spiritualism at the

say that she was or was not believer or

Arrival of the HonorabIes.

Boston. Oct. 1.-The Dominion line
steamer Mayhower arrived this morning
from Liverpool, having on board the
Honorable Artillery Company OF Lon
don, the oldest military organization in
the world. The Mayfower was greeted
by a salute of 81 guns when opposite
Fort Warren. The vessel proceeded to
quarantine where she was boarded by
the port physician and delegation OF
the Ancient and Honorable Artillery
Company of this city. All on board
were well and expressed themselves as
having enjoyed a delightful trip. As
soon as the MayhOwer had tied up at
her berth, she was boarded by Adjutant
General Dalton, accompanied by'Col.
Hedges of the Boston Ancients, who
extended on behalf of Governor Bates
the official welcome of the commonwealth
of Massachusetts, to the Earl of Denbigh
and Desmond and the Honorable Artil-
ery Company Shortly after ten O'Clock
the members of the British military COM
pany disembarked. They were received
with great enthusiasm by the waiting
throngs of spectators. Immediately the
parade began to move. No less than
three thousand men were in line and
they marched to the music of seven
bands, one of which, that of the Royal
Garrison regiment, stationed at Halifax,
N. S., had been sent here especially for
the purpose of furnishing music for the
Englishmen. The route of the parade
was a long one, the marchers trayersing
part of the business and residential sec
tons. Flags and bunting were displayed
everywhere and many buildings were
deliberately decorated. Mayor Collins
reviewed the column at the city hall and
Governor Bates at the State house. At
3 o'clock this afternoon the officers OF
the Boston kncients and the visiting
organizations will call officially upon
Governor Bates and Mayor Collins. To-
night the Britishers will be given a
smoker in Faneiul Hall. The British
warship Retribution arrived here from
Halifax yesterday. This ship is espec-
tally assigned here by the British Ad-
miralty, in honor of the visit of the
Honorable Artillery Company of London.

Omaha, October "A special dis
patch from Decatur, Neb., says that the
Missouri river is making such inroads
upon that town as to cause the gravest
fears for its safety. The river is rapidly
changing its channel there, as it is at
other points between Omaha and Sioux
City, and Engineer Dewitt, who, under
instructions from the government, has
just made an examination of its banks
within the corporate limits of the town
declares that unless dikes are built or
other safeguards provided immediately
Decatur will be destroyed. Since the
June rise many blocks of valuable town
lots have gone into the stream, while
south of town whole farms have been
virtually destroyed. In and about East
Omaha the situation is even more serious
than it is at Decatur. Thousands of dol.
lars worth of property have already been
destroyed there and hundreds Of dollar
worth is threatened.
