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.

He bound their hands necks, waists and feet; and they sat there as apparently unable to move as if they were in iron chains. No sooner was lights put out than the Veil wag ringing over the heads of the circle, while the air of ‘‘Lilly Dale” was played upon the accordion “It is wonderful.—-wonderful!” said the astonished wizard, when the liglRij were turned on, “If it is a fick, which I believe it is, it Ip ypt a puzzler to me I to t Six distmtl hands all at one time on different parts of my 'Phis statement wag the qaqse of much to a gentleman m tho circle, who said that bis skepticism wsib as si rong as the rock of Gibraltar. lie asked permission to take a seat be¬ tween the mediums. “I want he to said see with if the chuckle. spirits can fool me,*’ a This request was granted' T1 c room was again darkened, the inslru, ments were again played upon, and 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, “Tell us all about it?" said the manager of the stance. “Well, I must say tnis has knocked me a little dizzv,“ said tho gentle man; “but skeptic though l be, I will toll fuithfull jus) lyhat occurred.

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. — - WONDERFUL CURES, YV. i)/ Hoyt & Co., Wholesale and aild Retail Druggist of Rme Go, says: We have boon se ng Dr, fing’s New Discovery, Havo neve, lanaled remedies that sell as well, or give such universal satisfacton.
