The latcnrs* of the boor, aad the Indisposition of
oar rpe*S.l reporter, prevented oar giving yesterday
morning the conc'o.lun of B«v. Dr. Harrison’s lec
ture on the Mysteries of Modern Spiritualism. We
give the following synopsis of the close. He aaid:
We now approach tbegrodbd of moral argument. I
wish to be convincrd tha? the writing by the alleged
medium is really autoxatic. Almost any pen m may
write with his eyes shot. The medium coses hie eyes
and writes; so can I eo can yon, wheu yon have the
paper and pen placed fcef- re yon. Yon raey write in a
raggdng manner; so do some of the mediums,
want more than that. 1 want a ccmmaofcdion from
aome namren, unknown inflaence. Now I require
dem^n-rration of that, and demonstration I
have. If yc u give xue t)at then I will believe,
rot stubborn; I wsn*. on’y the *ruth. and Out I will
have if I can I in i?t w*dgh the p-oof ard see if ills

who la well known aa a great constitutional lawyer of
-wonderful genian. ;l!e Las left certain writings

communication as from bis sp'rit in the other world

acnti x* rrr to the tjst.
If the medium comes to me with a communication
from Li.rd It-con, and in it he saya ‘ I guess,” *T
iculaie,” and txpn ss'ons like those,
*heu I know that Bacon was one tf the finest writers
of his day, a fine La’i&ist, his style very pare and
Cjrrcct, and ih^t even in ordinary conversation never
indo'ged in auch pbra-es, I recogclee these phrases as
hulonging to our own age and country, and
t belonging to Bacon’s age cr coun'ry. I
«u-not believe the-e ar*» the expressions of
Lord Bacon; communications like these must bear
internal evidence of their genuineness before I can
acc'spt them as each; aa they cannot carry conviction
to oiy mind.
If the mediant gives poetry, sa d to be from Lord
Byron, after comparing it with his known writings,
and these alleged writings do not correspond with
tbit he wrote in the flesh taat also lacks the n<
eary interna! evldu-nce of its genuineness, and my
judgment mast reject It as spurious. The same may
he said of pretended communications from the poet
Cowper; especially wnen aach poor specimens are
given to the world which prove this, that these
really ignorant people who give them to the world.
Itla true that you and I may differs* to the merit* of
certain production, yon may thick it very fine,
whi'e I think it otherwise; we can t determine that
question.
How can you sat'rfy me that the spirits ofde-

to make a test." I cannot he answered that I
have no authority to make such tc:-t, aa to demand
proof of their appearance-; the test la not arb trary
unreasonable. I want some sensible, intelligent
evidence, and don’t want to be carried away by
caprice or fancy, or mere ira gination I want some
thing real solid, on which my mind can r* ly with
confidence. Give that to roe and you will satisfy me,
and I will assist you to convince others.
The Divine Being has nnbmittc.i to a test. Take the
case of Gideon, for in-tance. The Lord came by his
spirit and wished Gideon to undertake the dc-

A Torcnwo Court Ixcidknt.—On Fri
day two whit j girts were arraigned before the ^upe-
n »r «Va-: of Fu’.’on county, on the charge of kotp-
tngslewd bon*e.
On- wo not seventeen year* of are It seems that
Xh-y. r:ginv.!y came fr>»m a n-'rheru cour.y in this
Rt-u. Their father ws* killed in the Confederate
sc-viee. Their mother was nrab’.e to support thorn or
hcr-c'f They rvxnored to another eoan*y, where they
procured employment. Bat the g’arc of city life at
tracted them to Vlacta. nev. without friends or
employ n-n*. they warden! Into forbidden paths.
Their cord - tier excited the sympathies of the stern
Jad.’v and vigilant Solicitor General. While th.ir
h.-arta arc la flexibly opposed to wrong doing, ar.d
they maintain with Roman firmness the majesty of
law, tb-ir h-arts arc not hardened to the appwal
that <r*mpass:on—of that mercy—and of that pity—
which would seek to reclaim the lost and tarn from
error's w*rs the fatherless and poverty-stricken.
Touched by a tender compassion which^ho&crs their
rasuhowl and reflects their true Christianity, they
agretd that if the erring ones would return to their
mother, acd for rake thetr evil ways, they would

The girls agre-d to this, and a nolle prosequi was en

_ y were honored by society, she would
be”deemed vile and infamous ne besought her to

s better are to merit the estcom of the good aad the
upright.
And Gideon said <:»i verse 6 chapter of Judges)
unto God: If thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as
Thnn hast said, behold I will put a fleece of wool in
the floor and if the dew be on the fleece only, and it
be dry upon all tbe earth beside, then shall 1 know
that thou wilt s^vu ItracI by mice hand es Thou hast
said. And it was so; f .>r lie rose up early on the mor
row, and ihrust the fleece t get her and wringed the
dew out of the fl-.-cce, a bowl fall of water. And
<1 unto God, let not thine anger be hot
against mi and I will spc»k bat this once: Let me
prove. I pry th e, bat this once with th« fleece; let It
now be dry ouly upon tho fleeso aud upon all the
gromid let there bedew.
And God did so that night, f*.r It was dry npon the
fleece only, and there wa- ucw on all tbe ground.”
Now, there was the test, lie put that test to prove
* coinmiririon, the second test was given and met.
I am going to put a test on tliii subject, which Is a
taanhable oae. I have stated It frequently and
h »vc he^rd no obj x’Ion to the terms of the test:
You tell me, my r ricod Mr. Medium, that you ore
the instrument of a spirit tn writing tece. If that
be true you can write in one form of letter as well as
mother, English, French. Sjianhb, German; it is
tilting to you what language ; you arc only an au-
naton. Now, I ask you to call up the spirit of Vir
gil, lit died a thousand years before the English lan
guage wa* spiked. I don't want his an r wcr in En
glish ; I wish him to communicate with mo
l mother tongue of his own time;
wish him to write twenty lines on the model of a
•ruin pasiNgu in the Xm-ud in his owe pure Latin.
Tli«-re are peculiarities and bean tics that I can recog
nize as genuine. If your claim Is substantial that
jou write what the spirit common! ales, you can
writ© iu La in as well as in Kegleb. I wish the spirit
communicate in his own vernacular language, not
by sound alone, [that is to.» uncertain,) I want it by
the pen, as yon are the instrument of tbs spirit,
i e the words as the spirit gives them to you. Now,
compare this writing with what we know has
written m the flesh, and sett if they agree.
Now, I ask you to call np the spirit of Mohammed.
It !•* aaid lie was an illiterate man. He may not have
been a learned man. but a man of ingenious and aente
mind, who wrote tliat wonderful book, the Kohrau-
w:sh yon to call up hts spirit. I want h m to write
twenty lines, in the Arabic tongue; tliat u*cd in the
ntury; hi h as was used at tbe time of his
flight to Mecca I want twen'y line* from him In the
style of a certain ch apter on the c »ws. Now, as you
writing only wbat the spirit communicates, it esn
make no d'ff r'nee to you that he writes in his own
tongue, cundreds of years before the English
lEngnsg© assumed anything of its present form. If
s those twenty lines of Arabic, I go to
my study, take his K-hr in, and compare this with it,
th*» particular chapter and section to which I bad
called attention, if they correspond. Yon seethe evi-
•nuu!*tixig.
*k a communication from King David, the
sweet singer of Israel. I waut him to write twenty
Urns on the model of the linh Psalm. I wish him to
Imitate that; and to write It in a peculiar character of
the Hebrew longue, nsed in his day, bcfo:o the burn
ing of the temple at Jerusalem. I compare
tliat as I do the other communications, and
•ee if they correspond. Now. as you profess to hold
communication with departed spirits, I call for the
spirit of Zoroaster, tho old Persian. He lived three
four thousand years ago. He lived long ages be-
e the English language was spoken. Now I want
attention called to a certain passage In his writings
which I will nam% aud want him to write twen y
lines lu his own language. This 1 also compare with
his writings.
Now, if you give me these communications from
Virgil, Mohammed, David, Zoroaster, each in his own
language, as I h**e request* d, and 1 am satisfied, af
ter examination and comparison with the originals,
jr«>* then have demonstrated to me the tru.h of your
assumption. When that is done I am with yon, and
ill engage in the conversion of the world. If yon
ill to do i* I cat.no: be satisfied, and you don’t com
ply with a plain, common scuse demand.
If you tell me that Zoroaster Is about to answer in
English, when I know be spoke in a different tongue,
I unreasonable when l ask him to speak and
write inklsown language? tint to tell me that he
wl'l answer in English, is the answer not absurd and
unsatisfactory? Bat if the medium answers ques
tions asked from a Frc. chman in French, from a Ger
man in German, Spanish iu Spanish, there is reason
aud common sens© in that; but when I find that the
answers of the medium are the measure of his own
mind, and the spirit can talk no further tlian that, the
question forces itself on me, docs the spirit make the
answersat all ? I say it proves that the spirit did not
do it, but these are emanations from the mtnd of the
medium himself, and not from departed
Now I proclaim it to-night, as I have done it In the
metropo’is of this country, bring me a medium that
meets : -so dema".ds and that sustains this test, and
1 prom so to examine it with the utmost candor and
honesty, and if be demonstrate it I am converted.
But do not tell me I non not moke these demand. It
does not satisfy nu wh-n you say ye n are a represen
tative of th-* government of Great Britain. I cannot
take your word for ihat. I want to see yoar creden
tial*. Show me your authority. Mere assertion is
not enough. Where is your commission bearing the
great seal of the kingdom. I want something more
than your word or assertion- If t s at would be insuffi -
at in that cas* - , how can you expect me to rest
ir word and risk matt* rs of the highest Importance
such insufficient evidence as mere assertion?
st l>e allowed to doubt your assumption until you
furaij-h better proof. Whenever the test is met, 1 am
»be found, and will gladly accept the isrne. *
1 a.-k again, did cot Virgil sp-ik and write in L*tin ?
nas he forgotten his native ia: guage to learn Ergl th ?
all th« ancients I have mentioned foTgottcn their
native tongue? and can they not speak it nowand
me in their native character? Bring me the proof
and I accept it. Now if I give references that only
Virgil can understand, or Mohammed or David can
understand, and refer to facts which they alone are
likely to know, aid their answers are sati-factory—
it is done I am your humble servant. If you
do tki I will then believe in your doctrine of spirit
communication? through mediums. Until then I
must th n believe that a great part of it is very clever
scientific knowledge, a part of it simply imagina
tion tie mew creatures of your excited and busy
brain. I waS solid proof. 1 his you can give in the
way I have already s ated.
On th*' next pj’.ct r f my subject—Is there a vital
force, sufficient to produce the phjsical developments
which are attributed to spit|tual agency t I mean the
accredited pbenom-oa. 1 do not mean the thousand
and one things that are claimed to have been done and
•aid. I presume that no man here believes that a red
hot brick could come without visible means and fall
in the midale of the floor—at least n^atn in his
tenses would believe that; and yet it i4nr that with
out apparent contact ol jects have moved from their
positions* I give you one i^taccc analogous to the
Currency demonstrations.

The speaker here related an Incident that took place
i Mississippi. While traveling Though that Mato he
_:opped at a house where there were two mediums,
ne and they got around a table Each one was to a nte
question of twelve words, unknown to the other,

laced in the hands of a third party, who calls*
he alphabet. The table answered to the first tine
letters of the speaker’s question. During this time
hts mind was concentrated. At the ninth arswer,
however, a Methodist preacher looked in at tbe
word of his question. This the speaker cited as a
illustration of the odic and unconscious mnscn'ar a
t:or. He then cited the power of odic force in cc
trolling the movement of a gold ring on the hand, by

that there has never been a fact made known, beyond

The Fire-Fiend at Boston*
Agiin has been experienced one of those
dreadful visitations of unforeseen and casual
calamity that fonn milestones of human
tory. The Boston fire matches the Chicago
conflagration. A large, splendid city in
few short hoars is laid nearly in ruins. Thous
ands of people are beggared and rendered
homeless. The commerce of the country
feels the shock.
Mankind thrills to the stroke. Millions
npon millions of property are wiped ont and
nothing left to represent them but a few
crumbling ruins and worthless ashes. Tbe
monetary world qnivers under the blast.
Merchant princes whose financial transac
tions extend over the entire world, and in
volve hundreds of remote business men, are
prostrated. Currency under the pressure be-
comes scarce and leaps upward, contracting
the market, crippling business,checking credit,
tightening the times, and affecting all inter
ests. Insurance companies controlling mil
lions of capital and employing thousands of
brains reel in anticipated overthrow, and
gasp in the agony of threatened extinction.
Scarcely has the country recovered from
tLe Chicago fire ere its disastrous injuries arc
repeated in the Boston holocaust.
The engrossing reflection engendered by
these appalling and resistless conflagrations
following each other in quick succession, and
showiog tbe same unconquerable and de
structive master of the lurid fire fiend, is the
grave fact that all present schemes of fire
service in our large cities seem powerless to
control great burnings. Is human ingenuity
powerless to msster the ruin ? Arc our great
cities to be ever the vsssal of the flames ?
Both of these cities thus quickly and ruth
lessly destroyed had magnificent fire depart
ments splendidly organized. Yet they were
utterly impotent to arrest the fierce, impily
ing, remorseless tornado of flame that wiih
inconceivable impetuosity and power swept
away a city in a few short hours.
Tbe matter is one for serious and deep re
flection.
To the sufferers we extend the sympathy
due from humanity to the stricken, and that
none more readily give than our warm
hearted Southern people.
These great burnings recall those of the past.
They bring vividly to mind similar disastrous
experiences.
To-day is the 12th of November. On this
day eight years ago tihenuan left Atlanta,
firing it as he left, and it became a mass of
ruins. It is a coincidence worthy of note
that onr readers in Atlanta this morning npon
the anniversary of Atlanta’s utter destruction
by premeditated fire should be reading of the
almost entire destruction of that great North
ern city, Boston, by the accidental agency of
the same annihilating element
We therefore know how to sympathize in
dire visitation of disaster and ruin.
CutTcc In Hie Cabinet,
Slowly Sambo has been reaching out his
grasp for honors and emoluments, lie crept
into State Legislatures, then into the national
councils, then went on foreign missions, and
now he seeks admission into Grant’s cabinet
Attorney General in the person of John
M. Langston. Langston seeks to be the
President’s legal adviser on tbe ground that
he was the earliest advocate of Grant’s elec
tion 03 President, and that Grant owes his
election to Langston’s controlling the negro
vote.
Well, this is novel, and peculiarly Kadical,
this idea of seeking a high legal office and
getting it, not for merit, not for abilities, not
for the country’s service, but because the
seeker first thought of Grant for President.
We had thought Dr. Bard claimed this special
honor. If wc are correct a bloody battle
may be expected between the Doctor and the
saffron-colored Langston.
But why not? Let Langston go in. Cuffee
entitled to that place, morejtoo. It will be
fitting in the highest degree. We will wager
that Langston is as good as Akerman.
So push him in.

SUNDAY'S DISPATCHES.

Boston, N ovember 10,10 A. M. —An alarm
of fire was sounded at 7.30 Saturday evening,
and was followed a second, third and fourth
in rapid succession.
The first engine had hardly reached the
ground when the flames buret forth from the
fourth story of the Granite Store, a wholesale
dry goods establishment on the corner of
Sumner and Kingston streets.
OBXGQt OF TBE FTOE.
The fire caught in the engine room, and the
flames following the elevator, were first seen
under the roof. Thebnildingsin the vicinity
are four story Hansard roofs.
The flames soon reached the Mansard roofs
of the buildings on the opposite side, far be
yond the reach of tbe engines. In less than
thirty minutes, the whole city in one direc
tion was
AT THE KEBCT OF TBE FLAKES,
which leaped from roof to roof. One after
another of the great dry goods houses suc-
cumed. and the granite falling in the streets
made them impassable.
FBOGBESS OF TBE FIRE.

DIMENSIONS OF TBE FIRE.
The fire has reached dimensions that
simply defy description. The people of
Boston find themselves
IN DANGER OF THEIR LIVES.
The loss of houses and property; is now
scarcely thought of. The people are retiring
before the fiames towards Tremont and Court
streets, where the fire was supposed to be un
able to reach, bnt a gale is blowing, and it
seems to have no positive direction.

The Key to Health.—It 13 the easiest
thing in the world to lose the blessiog of
health, but when lost it is not so easy to re
gain iL The popular idea of fifty years ago
that a tremendous scouring of the bowels
was an essential element of cure in almost
all diseases iias fortunately for mankind been
pretty effectually Ckplodt d. The introduc
tion of Hostetteris Stomach Bitters, nearly a
quarter of a century ago, may be said to have
given the coup de grace to drastic purgation.
The world has learned from the beneficial
effects produced by that admirable prepara
tion, that one medlbme may embrace the
three properties of a tonic, a laxative, and an
alterative; that the three curative processes
of invigoration, purification and regulation
may be compassed at the same time by the
operation of a single agreeable remedy.
There are sound, philosophical reasons for
the remarkable improvement which the Bit
ters occasion in the condition of a deranged
and enfeebled system. This pure combina
tion of vegetable juices not;only strengthens
the stomach, stimulates the appetite and
braces the nerves, but also imparts tone and
vigor to tbe secretory organs—as the skin, the
liver, and the kidneys—and if ihe blood has
become too thin and watery to nourish the
body properly, enriches and vitalizes that
“raw material” of the solid portions of the
frame. At this period of the year, when in
termittent fevers, bilious disorders, stomach
complaints, and dysenteric and diarrhoctic
ailments are always more or less rife, oici
sional dotes of the Bitters will be found 1
best safeguard against the aimostpheric c*
dilions which generate them. An accession of
general vigor is necessary to enable tbe sys
tem to resist the morbid influence of tbe ma
larious vapors which rise from the earth at
this season, and of all the known invigorants

HOW TBE NEWS OF THE BOSTON FIRE WAS
RECEIVED IN WASHINGTON—GREAT EXCITE
MENT.
The entire community was yesterday
startled by the news of the great fire in Bos
ton, an account of which was published in
the Sunday morning papers. The desire to
learn further particulars was intense, es
pecially among citizens of Massachusetts so-
C ning in Washington, including Secretary
tweU. Hundreds of them, during the
day, thronged the office of the NewYork
Associated Press in pursuit of further intelli
gence. Maps of the city of Boston were
produced in order to trace the limits of tbe
purnt district, the explanations given by those
familiar with the locality, Secretary Boutwell
among the number, increasing the general in-
Crowds also .gathered at the hotels and
telegraph office where the dispatches received
from time to time were the subject of com
ment. The excitement was at least as great
as at the time of Chicago. Fire extras, giv
ing the latest details were issued by tbe
Chronicle and the Republican newspaper of-
r is, and were eagerly purchased by allclass-
of the community.
Secretary Boutwell received a dispatch this
afternoon from General Burt, Postmaster at
-Boston, saying our present post-office and
tub-Trcasury is now burning. The Treasury
vault will not be injured. The new building
has suffered but little. The centre block
around the new office is destroyed. The fire
makes a clear sweep from the head of Som
mer street to Fort Hill
PANIC AMONG INSURANCE COMPANIES.
Many dispatches have beenrecoived by the
Secretary of Treasury from bankets and in
surance companies, both in Boston and New
York, saying there is quite a panic in those
cities. The Sccrctaiy telegraphed them that
there is no reason fora panic, and sent a dis
patch not to yield, as he will do all he can to
sustain them.
Secretary Boutwell intended leaving Wash
ington to-morrow to remain till Friday on
matters of importance, but he will not now
do so, as business originating on the Boston
fire may require his presence in this city.
Assistant Secretary of Treasury, Richard
son, was to have left Boston for Washington
last night Ho has been telegraphed by the
Secretary to remain there after he had already
left Boston. He will be intercepted by the
telegram on the way and requested to return.
Comptroller of the Currency, Knox, and
Mr. Bigelow, Chief of the Loan Division of
tho Treasury Department left for Boston to
night at the instance of the Secretary of the
Treasury, to look after the Government’s in
terest in Boston and to report to him the
facts in the case. Mr. Leopold, Chief of the
Sub-Treasury Bereau, was to have accom
panied these gentlemen, but it was subse
quently determined that he should remain
here to answer business demands from Bos
ton, and to send such supplies thither as may
be needed for the Sub-Treasury. It was only
last Saturday that the examination of the
accounts of the Assistant Treasurer of Boston
was completed. Mr. Conant, tho Chief of

THE MIXED COMMISSION—DISMISSAL Or THE
KAGBIDE CASE.
Washington, November 11.—The mixed
commission on the British and American
claims have dismissed on demurrer the case -
Magride against the United States. The
facts are: The latter demurred to the memo
rial of the claimant on the ground that-hc
had no standing aa a British subject, having
been bom in the United States and being, by
the laws of this country, a citizen of the
United States at the time of the alleged in
juries domiciled within the United States.
The British counsel replied that the claim
ant was bora in Pennsylvania of parents,
who at the time of his bit th, were subjects of
Her Britanic Majesty, wheat the date of roc-
moralist’s birth, were ou a visit to tbe United
States, but within a few weeks after his birth
returned to England, taking mcmoralist
with them, where he was christened and edu
cated, and under control of his father during
his minority. Upon arriving at the age o
maturity, he has always claimed and adhcrrcd
to his allegiance as a British subject, and
neither hia father or mother ever renounced
allegiance to Her Britannic Majesty. It was
therefore contended that inch person is un
doubtedly, by the law of Great Britain, a
British subject, as tbe child of American pa
rents bora abroad, under such circumstances,
would be an American citizen, and this has
never been doubted.
The reply to the demurrer infers that this
commission meant to go no further than to
declare that Alexander, whose case was cited
in the demurrer, had an American as well as
a British nationality by force of tbe statute
of Kentucky, which declares that all persons
bora within that titate arc citizens thereof,
and that nndcr the circumstances of that
case, Alexander had not made such on elec
tion as entitled him to prefer his claim as a
British subject
