MENTAL TLLEGHAFHTNG.
The id"a that ascribes the Uni
verse to iniiniie Intel ami re
eognizes its adaptation to beneficent
results, accords as well with the rea
son of (he Pliii sopher as with the
; reverence of the Christian. If we ’
may not trace the chain of imiver-;
I sal relation and dependence, avc may
still rest assured that no link is
i wanting to render that chain com-j
1 pleie. Fverything is related to till ‘
things, and all motion, form, life, 1
sensation and thought are but out
w;ird expressions of archetypes ex
iiting forever in the Divine eon
seiousnes.-,. The concatenation q£
intermediate agencies may he so I
■ompicx and infinitesimal as to baffle !
li.e most subtle powers of analysis-; !
but, could avo follow the chain of
causation throughout, we should
doubtless at last trace ail mental and 1
|'hy. deal phenomena to spiritual
causes. Moreover, all material
change and transformations, from
the simplest process in (he laborato
ry, up (o the most siupendtious revo- j
lulions in the world of Matter, are j
governed by established laws. The
invisible, external forces, and their
I modus ope ran It in Nature, are but
: the mufiif Ota expression of the In
■inito Idea. If ajl matter is thu>
subservient to the Supreme volition,
the universe of Mind cannot be left
to lawless disobedience ; hut, in a
certain qualified sense, the Divine
Vfisdon must he more conspicuously
revealed in the realms of mind than
in the domain of matter —in so lair
asilie former exhibits a nearer ap
proximation to himself.
Ihe results of individual ex peri- !
cnce constitute the accumulated Avis 1
dom of the Avorld. It is cheerfully |
conceded that the experience of
uthur men may he fraught with a 1
deeper interest than our own ; but
th- sc who restrict th-emselyes to the !
Os iiflßtunw; l*> the common stocU of!
deas. To seek a name in this way I
is to rob the dead of their immor- j
uility. It Avere more commendable j
to die and leave no memorial, than
to tax the nerves and employ the
brains of other men to build a monn
merit.
Long before undertaking the la
bor of ft systematic inquiry into the
philosophy of the vital functions and
the laws of mind, 1 had witnessed
and performed some experiments,
attended with results so remarkable
as to render them worthy of being
preserved among the more interest
ing incidents of my private experi
ence! 1 have not omitted hitherto
to record other facts, occurring with
out the range of personal observa
tion, whenever they afforded the
most suitablei lustrations oi’ my sub
ject ; nor do i deem it necessary to
offer an apology - for presenting the
experimental results of my own
ex peri nee its often as these will best j
subserve my purpose. From aii oh. ‘
nervation of facts incidentally occur- t
ring, 1 was prompted to a succes
sion ox voluntary efforts, which were j
signalized by still more remarkable j
results. In numerous instances I
tried the experiment of thinking in
tensely of soifte person, present or
ab.-ent, with a view to ascertain
whether the mind of that person,
would not revert to me at the*same
time. The experiment,, though
many times repeated, with different
subjects —frequently wdh persons
at a distance—was eminently sue
cessful. The individuals selected ,
were usually, though not always,
personal friends and familiar ac
quaintances of the writer; but the
success oi* the experiments did not
J appear to depend at all on the pre
j vious intimacy of the parties.
The experiments in (his depart
i meat, whether comprehended under
the head of “Mesmerism,” “Pathe
tism,” “ Liectro-Psychology,” “Bi
ology,” “ i husology,” or any other
term—properly or improperly do
rived and applied—are aii illustra
tions ('when they are real,) of the
same essential principles and laws.
Moreover, the men who, severally,
either claim to .have made an origi
nal discovery, or to have founded a
j ili-iinct brunch of science, are gener-
aiiy mere pretenders, who, at most,
have only varied the fonnsofexperi
ment, or, {lerhaps, coined anew and I
less appropriate name for the same j
tiling. Many oi’ the professed ex
putiuders oi'the jisyohological liailu
einations, and other similar phe
nomena, have illustrated nothing
! more eh-arly than their own igno
rance of the jihilosoph v of the whoie
siihjcct, while their public experi
’ ments have,for the most part, been
! of so gross and repulsive a character
as to justly offend the good taste
| and the moral senSik oi the intelli
-1 gent and rcliiied spectator. More
i tlt.in one oatoh-pyiiny, prompted
alike by coarseness and avarice to
1 pan’der to a vitiated and vulgar taste,
! has compelled an inteilijent human le
-1 hi j to trail, on nl! fours, to hark like a
I die/, or hr atf like a donkey! The
writer once witnessed such a per
forma nee, with a feeling of almost
irre-pressihlo indignation, that a
i Man should thus he degraded—even
in imagination, for a moment —to
! the level of four footed beasts. No
man who, has not already unfortu-
I natelv defiled his ow n garments by
j a groveling and beastly life, and
j thus disfigured or obscured the
! image of God in his soul, would pros
; tituYe his mental powers, and debase
, the common humanity.
Those who utterly disregard the
j claims ot science ami w illingly bru
i tra ixe their own species-, arc seldom
j capable of giving any intelligible
I idea of the subject on which the pro
foes to discourse. They are usually
j very positive in their assumptions, ,
and extremely negative in their
1 proofs. The public experiments of
such professed interpreters of the
j psychological mysteries, are design
! ed tf> amuse rather than to instruct,
j and the pretended results are often
transparent frauds. The operators ‘
| of this class are accustomed to tell
the subject, in a most emphatic man
ner, precisely what the3’ wish him to !
see,hear,feel,taste, smell or do,so that j
there is ever}’ opportunity for collu
sion, and —if the subject has fine im
itative powers—he may deceive the j
uninitiated spectator. Abi ological j
“doctor,” whom the writer once !
met at Louisville, Ky.,—a rough j
Stone in the temple of humanity—
assured his audiences that the expo- !
riments did not require the exercise of]
the ttill; also that mind (meaning;
the mind of the operator) had noth
ing to do with the results; (others
thought so in his particular case) j
but that all the effects on the body I
and mind of the subject, were to he j
I accounted lor u on the, doctrine of im
\ pressions.” This unmeaning asser
tion—repeated often and with pe
culiar emphasis—the Doctor appear
ed to regard xis a most lucid exposi
tion of the whole subject, and, ac
; cordingly, ho t raveled from place to
j place—by land and sea—
“ Explaining his mysteries to the nations,
Hut never explaining his explanations.”
The experimental illustrations
which follow in this connection are
of width- different character ; at the ;
same time they demonstrate the fact
of a silent intercourse of mind with
mind through the subtle medium of
sensation. They leave no room to ;
doubt that passions, sentiments and
thoughts—no less than external 1
forms and physical phenomena—
fliUneVvd'lis* ‘fty&te’in, through which"j
their images arc conveyed to the !
corporeal scat of sensation, and)
thence reflected to the inner con
sciousness of the spirit. I will now
illustrate the nature and results of j
my experience by a citation of par- 1
tieular examples.
31 isa Wilder,ofLeoministor, 3hiss., j
possessed a melodious voice, and no
little skill in musical execution. She j
was so extremely impressible that I
any piece of music of which one i
might chance to be thinking in her
presence, could be communicated to
her by the slightest touch. When,
occasionally’, the impression wras in
definite, she w’ould seem to be liM
cning for an instant, and then —start-
ing as though she had heard a voice
—would exclaim,“Yes 1 hear ! I hear ,
it !” and immediately commence f
singing, at the same time furnishing j
her own accompaniment on the gui-;
tar. Mr. Davis, an amateur vio'inist,:
and several others, repeated the ex-J
perinient, at my suggestion, with ,
similar success. This lady avus, on
numerous occasions, the subject of I
many curious experiments, in which
the electro mental susceptibility dis I
played was extremely delicate in its
nature, and Avonderful in its re- j
suits.
Some time since, Avliile the writer
was in Louisville, Ky., a number of
experiments were made with .Miss
Bulkclcy, an interesting young lady
who displayed remarkable readiness
in receiving communications by the
mental telegraph. The subject was
eminently free from any’ tendency
to disease, and the experimental re
sults, in her case, were such as to
excite the admiration of many intel
ligent ladies and gentlemen. Being
in electro mental rapport with Miss
B , the writer received—from
1 strangers and disinterested persons
cards and slips of paper to the
number of twelve or fifteen, on each
j of which the name of some flower
had been previously’ written. The
collection embraced the violet, pink,
rose, dahlia, sunflower, tnli]>, honey
suckle, snow ball, water lilly, and
others of which our recollection is
imperfect. Taking these severally
in my hand, 1 formed an ideal imago
‘ of the particular flower designated
on each separate card or slip of pa
per, and the images ivere successive
ly conveyed by the silent psycholo
gical process to the mind of the
young lady, who—with scarcely a
moment’s delay in any case —pro-
nounced the several names of the
flowers, each in its proper place as
i the card hearing the name was taken
np. All the flowers named above
were thus designated except the
snowball, which, though not named,
I was otherwise described as a large
j white flower.
A middle-aged lady’, residing in
Louisville, whoso nervous system
was so morbidly impressible that she .
would start with a violent, involun-,
tary motion, whenever the door of
her room Avas opened or closed slid j
denly, was also a highly susceptible ,
subject. In her case, the external
avenues of sensation could be
opened and closed at pleasure. She
distinguished sugar, salt, pepper,
vinegar, and other articles, the in
j slant 1 tasted of each, not withstand- :
ing 1 was ten feet from her at the
time, and she had not the slightest
reason to presume any one of the ar
ticles named was in the room, or ,
could Vie conveniently obtained un
dor the circumstances. With a glass
of magnetic water, and a few inani
j pulations, accompanied by’ the ac
j tion of the will, I completely’ sus
pended sensation in five minutes or
J less. With a view of*suhjecting the
sense of hearing to a severe and 4
demonstrative test, a Kentuckian
I furnished roc with a heavily loaded
| revolver, three barrels of which I
instantly’ discharged over the back
jof the lady’s head, without causing
the slightest motion of a single mus
cle.
3lrs. Rice, of Worcester, 31 ass.,
was distinguished tor a most delicate
susceptibility’of mental impressions.
Having been invited to visit her one j
afternoon—at her residence, and in
company’ with several friends —I
seated myself at her side, at the same !
| time requesting her to take an ex
cursion, and to describe whatever j
she might observe by the way. With- j
out giving the slightest intimation
respecting the direction we were to
travel, I proceeded on an ideal jour-*
ney, by railroad and steamboat, to
New York. Mrs. It. described with
singular fidelity all the important
objects on the route of which the
writer oould form u distinct concep
tion—spoke of persons whom she
met by’ the way, and repeated the j
very words they were, by me, sit])- i
posed to utter. On the same occa j
sion, I imagined a letter to be placed
before her, when she suddenly ex- j
claimed, “Here is a letter from Mr.
mentioning the name of an ab
; sent friend of whom I was thinking
at that moment. Going through
with the appropriate notions, as if
she were really’ breaking a seal and
| unfolding the sheet, she commenced
: and read verbatim, from my mind,
‘for several minutes. It-should he
’ observed that these ay ere the first
and only experiments made with
Mrs. Dice, and at that time only’ a
few days had succeeded the date of
; ous first brief interview.
I once attended a social party given
|by Mrs. Kirkpatrick, at her resi
; deneejn Albany’. In the company
i was a lady’ (Mrs. 31 ills) whom I had
been led to infer might be highly j
■ susceptible of electro-nervous im pres- 1
! sions, though I had never eonfirmod J
j Taking ‘a seat by’ a gentleman who
’ was known to be extremely skepti
! cal, I observed that it might he pos- :
j sible to demonstrate the existence of j
| a mental power he tvas disposed to j
deny ; that although I had never ,
| conversed with Mrs. M. on the sub
| jeet, nor made the slightest effort to
j subject her to psychological impres
sions, I had little hesitation in saying
| that the voluntary functions of mind
! and body might he controlled —with-
; out physical contact —by the unaided
power of volition.
This gentleman having expressed
a desire to witness the experiment,
it was agreed that I should cause
the lady to leave her place at
the opposite side of the room, and
occupy a vacant chair by’ his side.—
In less than one minute she obeyed
the silent action of my will and seat
, ed herself in the unoccupied chair.
In like manner she was impelled to
i change her position several times,
1 and finally to leave the room tempo
| rariiy, with no special object in view,
and without suspecting the origin of
an impulse she was Unable to resist.
The tea-table Was the scene of an j
interesting experiment. 3frs. 3lills j
was in the act of removing from the
i board—having finished her repast — ;
i when several dishes were handed to
her, all of which were refused. 31rs.
Kirkpatrick urged Mrs. 31. to accept
another di-h of tea, which the latter
positively declined. Without utter
ing a word, I succeeded in changing
her inclination, and, obedient to my
volition, she immediately drew her
chair to the table, and called for a
dish of tea. On my’ passing the sev
eral dishes she had just refused, 31 rs.
31 partook of each, as if it weic for !
the first time.
At an early hour she proposed to go
home; but lhy friend who had given ;
! the entertainment, apprehensive that
i others might follow the example,
and thus tiie company he broken up,
desired me to restrain her. 31rs. |
Mills instantly obeyed the executive
action of the mind, observing that j
the attractions the occasion present
ed w ere so numerous, and withal so
, powerful, that she could not break i
away. In this manner her desire to go
home was neutralized, and Mrs. 3f.|
remained until the company sepa
rated.
Several years ago, while spending an af
ternoon several ladies and gentlemen
mostly strangers to the writer—some illus
trations of mental telegraphing were called
• for by the company. Among ihe persons
present, two or three were more or less in
fluenced. But Miss A., a young lady of in
telligence and refinement, with whom the
writer had had no previous acquaintance,
was discovered to yield with great readi
ness and astonishing precision to the action
of the will Though at the time perfectly
awake—and until then totally unconscious
of possessing any such susceptibility this
lady bestowed several riugs and other valu
ables on different members of the party,
following in every instance, and ir. a most
unerring manner, the writers voiltion.
Without affording the slightest opportunity
for the fair subject to learn, by any external
indications, the rature of the requests made,
a number of difficult trials were suggested
by persons composing the company. Sev- j
era! of these experiments—attended with
the most satisfactory results—may be thus
briefly mentioned:—M'ss A. promptly
obeyed the silent mandate of my mind, od
going to the centre-table, sel. cted a particu- j
lar book, that had been singled out Irom 1
among a number of others equally conspicu
ous. Someone required that she might be
incited to take up another book, ot five hun
dred pages, and turn to a short poem
, somewlier about the midd.e of the voume
—which was accordingly done without t *<J
NUMBER 49.
| least hesitation. Again, by a similar eflort,
this lady was influenced to make choice of &
particular eDgraving, from among a aumber
contained in an annual. While looking at
my watch, she announced the time within a
few seeonds. On a subsequent occasion,
similar efforts wore made to impress the
1 mind of this person, but, from some defect
• in the requisite conditions, the results were
less satisfactory.
When the mental and moral gravitation
has been mutual, I have been scarcely less
successful in my experiments oa persons at
a distance. Oe one occasion, while spend
ing a few days at Waterbury, Conn., I found
’ it necessary to see a young man in the vil
lage. The immediate presence of the youth
wa3 of considerable importance to me, but,
I not knowing his residence, place of busi
ness, or even his name, I could not send for
’ him. In the emergency, I undertook to
telegraph him, by concentrating my mind
on the young man, with a fixed determina
tion to bring him to me. Some ten minutes
had elapsed when he came to the house
i and inquired after the writer. Meeting a
gentlemen at the door, he asked, with much
apparent interest, whether I wanted to see
him. On being interrogated by this indi
vidual, he stated that a few moments be
fore, and while actively engaged in his
workshop—distant one fourth of a mile—he
suddenly felt that he must seek my pres
once without delay. He declared that he
was conscious of the existence and influence
of some strange power, acting chiefly on the
anterior ponion of his brain, and drawing
him with irresistible energy. His work
being urgent, lie resolved at first to resist to
resist this unaccountable inclination, but af
ter a determined effort, found himself une
qual to the task.
While employed at lecturing at New Ca
naan, Conn., several years since, I chanced
one night to be thinking earnestly of a young
; man who was living in the adjoining town of
1 Norwalk—at a distance of several miles—
and who had been the subject of some ex
periments on a previous occasion. This
youth happened at that precise time, as I
! subsequently learned, to te in company
with several gentlemen who were subjecting
him to some similar experiments, when alt
at once—and in a manner most unaceounta
i ble to all present—he escaped from their in
-1 flueace, declaring, with great earnestness,
that Mr. Brittan wanted to see him, and
that he must go immediately.
The wife of Rev. C. H. Gardner proved
to be an excellent telegraphic instrument.
I had personally subjected the lady to 6
I single experiment, resulting in the cure of a
distre-sing asthma, from which she had sufa
t'ered intensely and for a long time. I ha—
not spoken with this person for thred
months, when one day her arrival in com
pany with her husband was unexpectedly
did not occupy more tnan nve minutes, 1
withdrew and retired to my study to com
plete the tatk I had left nu/inisbed, leaving
Mr. and Mrs. G. with my family and sever
al other persons. Not the slightest allusion
had been made to any further experiments,
and certainly none were then premeditated.
Several hours elapsed—l know not how
long—when the silence of my apartment
was broken by sounds of mirth proceeding
from the company below. They were en
gaged in some amusement which excited a
spirited conversation and immoderate
laughter. The voice of Mrs. Gardner was
distinctly heard. At that moment the idea
of taking her from the company occurred to
me. Hut the occasion seemed to be in all
respects unfavorable. She had no intima
tion that any such effort would be made;
she was in a remote part of the house, and
we were separated by a long flight of stairs
and two partitions. Moreover, surrounded
by others, and excited by outward circum
stances. the soul is not in the most suitable
state to be successfully approached and
strongly influenced through the subtiie, in
visible media employed by the mind. Nev
ertheless, I resolved to make the experiment.
Closing my eyes to shut out all external Dir
ects, I fixed ray mind on Mrs. G., with a
determination to bring her to the library.
Doubtless the mental eflort, in that instance
would have been sufficient —as ordinarily
applied through the muscles —to overcome
the physical resistance es an object equal to
the weight of the lady’s person. I was,
however, not a little astonished on wit
nessing the result of this experiment In
about two mioui.es the door opened and
Mrs. Gardner entered with her eyes closed,
when the following conversation ensued :
“ You appeared to be very happy with
the friends below,” I observed, inquiringly.
“I was.”
“ Why, then, did you leave the compa
nay ?”
I don’t know.”
“ Why, or for what purpose, did you
come here ?’’
“ I thought you wanted me, and I could
not help obeying the summons.”
While on a visit at Newton, Conn.,
j some seven or eight years since, I be
came acquainted with Miss Grace Good
year, whose extreme mental receptivity
was evident from her readiness to divine
| the thoughts and feelings of those around
her. In the course of interview, an ex
periment was suggested for the purpose
of ascertaining whether her exquisite
susceptibility would admit of her receiv
ing telegraphic communications from a
distance. It was mutually agreed that
on the succeeding Tuesday evening, at
1 ten o’clock, she should retire to her pri
