in this city a quarter of a century
ago. As clever as Prof, llermami’s
performances were, they fell fai
sliort of the sleight of hand .nchhve
mentfl of the Bister.--Mt s. Colie and
and Mis. Lamb,
The first seance, in New York was
a private parlor entertainment, to
which a few members of the press
were invited, ar.d the writer was
among the number. The company
fonued a semirclrelc around the ta¬
ble, f.l which sat tho ststoi'^ono at
each cr.cb They were firmly tied in
such a way that it seemed urtertly
impossible for them so extricate their
hands or to rise from the chairs in
which they wore sifting. Then all
the semi circle joined hands artd the
lights were extinguished. Immedi¬
ately some musical instruments, con
sisting of two guitars, an accordion,
4 hnimojncor, a tambonne, a violin,
a hell and two tr»inphoty ; were sim
ultancouly played upon, and while
the manifestations were progresing
the lights were struck and tho modi
as they professed to be, were,
found tied precisely as when the
room was darkened.
What do you think of that?” said
an elderly lady, a wet! khown spirit
alist, with whom the writer had long
been acquainted, and whose left hand
he held during the derformance.
“A re you skeptic any longer? Sure¬
ly somebody must baye played upon
the instrument, and it would certain¬
ly bo unreasonable in you to suppose
that these ladies, bound as they are,
could have done so.”* ‘
< Wbb or what did it, then?” she
was asked.
“Why,” answered the old Iadv,
there i» only or.e answer to that ques¬
tion. It was done by some supernas
tural power, the spirits, I believe be¬
yond a doubt.”
Phosphorous was then sprinkled
upon the guitars, and the lights were
again extinguished. In an instant
guitars and violin were lifted,
and while they played upon, appear¬ the
ed to float over the heads of
company, the shifting
light serving as a test to show that
the manipulatiion and movement of
musical instruments were not produc¬
ed by any physical action of the me
diums. When a moment later, the
gas was again turned on, Mrs. Lamb,
still tied, sitting in her chair, on the
and Mrs. Colic’s position had
been changed to a place immediately
in front of the circle.
“Now,” said the old lady what
do think of that? Conld these two
ladies place one of themselves upon
the while they were both engaged
in playing upon the instruments and
passing them over our-, heads,
and that, too, while they were still
firmly bound and tied to the chairs."
And if they did not do it, who did
a They have got confederates, nwy
be,” suggested the writer. i
“Oh, yon’re an awful skeptic,” _ sau
the old lady, giving a writer a look
which seemed to bo one of pity f 01
mcredulousness. Sim¬

when the gas was again turned on
the man was standing facing the
sisters with a half dazed expression
upon his face and bis hair pukeuipt,

manager of the stance.
“Well, I must say tnis has knocked

THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEES.
The Chicago convention nominat¬
ed Benjamin Harrison of Indiana
for President and Levy P. Morton,
o» New York for Vice-Pi esidont.
Mr. Harrison belongs to a historic
family. One of his ancestors sat in
judgment on Charles the first of
England and signed the judgment
that seut him to the scaffold, aud
w,hb himself beheaded after Charles
the second ascended the throne.
Ope of Ins ancestors was a signer of
the declaration of independence, and
lie is a grandson of William Henry
Harrison, a former piesident of tho
United States. He has had a term
in the United Slates Senate and
made himself unpopular on tho
Pacific slopo hy his position on tho
question of Chinees emigration. Al¬
together we think tho ticket is a
strong one, and doubt if a nomina¬
tion could havo been made, more
dangerous to the democratic success.
We believe howevei, that the Demos
crafcic banner will wave triumphant
at the close of the campaign.
