MANIFESTO OF THE LEFT.
A QITETER FEELING.
Paris, May 19.—The Senators of
Left held a meeting and issued mani
festo to the nation, which concludes:
Considering that the present crisis,
which has been raised without any
reason amidst profound peace in the
country, and in the presence of
events abroad which alarm the in
terests of the country and justifies
every distrust, it is necessary to reas
sure France. The Senators of the
Left therefore express their firm con
viction that the Senate will not as
sociate itself with any undertaking
against Republican institutions, and
they declare they will energetically
resist a policy which threatens the
public peace.
This vigorous protest and the
manifesto of the Deputies are pro
ducing a great impression. Anew
prorogation is expected, and a disso
lution three months after.
There was great excitement In
Paris and the provinces last night
and to-day, but no disturbance.
The Temps quotes a threatening
article from the St. Petersburg offi
cial gazette, which points significant
ly to a war of revenge against Ger
many.
Communique to Paris papers says

Italy with the most serious reflec

with serious consequences. Germany
cannot remain indifferent.
It is incumbent on her to display
the greatest watchfulness. A victo

prospect of a war of revenge, and it
is only through an alliance with
France, that their curia can find a
possibility of waging war against
Gortnany and Italy.
Washington, May 19.—Washburn

London, May 19.—The Times’ cor
respondent, discussing the French
situation, says: As to the Bonapar

formidable adversaries, said one of
the moat ardent to me to-day. The
Orleanists and Republicans, they are
now fighting furiously, while we look

THE TOMTIT.
FROM THE FRENCH, BY M. It.
One beautiful day last winter, 1 strayed
into one of the most secluded spols of tha
Jardin des Plantes. 1 became suddenly
deeply interested in watching the motions ol
a little boy some twelve years of age. He
was clearing away the snow from a narrow
path, and strewing bread crumbs to swarms
of birds that flitted round. Behind him
stood his old faithful servant in livery, hold
ing his young master’s cloak, which had
been taken off, that his little favorits might
not be alarmed. The feast was well atten
ded by these inhabitants of the park. First
came the sparrows, so greedy and tame,
twittering and lighting for the largest mor
sels. The robins cautiously forsook their tall
chestnut to partake ot the festive scene,
while the tomtits, timidiy watching their
chance, darted, one by one, on the stray
crumbs that were intended for them, to dis
appear in the thickest shrubbery. All twit
tered and caroled their sweetest and seemed
to be thanking the generous hoy. The child
was tilled with joy. His expressive counte
nance beamed with pleasure—he did so thor
oughly understand his little friends I 1
noticed that he would rebuke the over-hold,
then gently encourage the timid.
Feeling a desire to contribute my mite, I
approached and distributed among the fam
ished ones a cake I had brought. The child
thanked me with a smite. “These poor crea
tures,” said he, “need all our sympathy.
Their food is covered by the snow —they can
not get at it.”
“You appear to be very fond of birds,” I
remarked.
“Oh yes,” replied he turning aside his head
to conceal a tear, “and the tomtit is the dear
est bird to me. They recall so many tender
memories. My love for them differs from
that of other children. Their pleasure con
sists in depriving them of the air and liberty
given them by their creator, while it is my
pleasure to prolong their short existence,
which gives delight to all.”
These wise and simple words astonished
me greatly, coming from one so young, al
though experience teaches that suffering and
grief sometimes make the young prema
turely old. I ventured to inquire what had
led him to such sober reflection. Sighing,
he replied—
“l had a sister who was all the world to
me. Her thoughts were my thoughts, and
mine were hers. Poor Nina! she would
weep at the sight of the suffering butterfly.
She was all gentleness, all kindness.”
1 cast a glance on the child’s sombre gar
ments. Controlling his emotions, he contin
ued—
“ Last summer we were in the country,
and one day, while my sister and I were
playing in the park, we heard the hoarse cry
of a hawk. Nina was frightened, and began
to run. I held her back, and we approached
the shrubbery to drive away tlie bird of prey,
which we saw flap its heavy wings ami lly
away. Some fine feathers that were floating
around led us to look into the shrubbery,
where we saw a nest that had been ravished
by the cruel hawk. Just one small feather
less bird was in it, amid the bleeding remains
of its brethren. It was uttering despairing
cries for aid. The mother iiad no doubt
perished in defending her young. “Poor lit
tie thing,” said Nina, taking it tenderly in
her hand; “no feathers, no mother, anil the
bad hawk may return. It will certainly
die of hunger, or be devoured.” “We must
take it home,” said I. “We will lake care
of t until it gets strong, then we will give it
its freedom.”
Nina was pleased, so we carried the bird
home. Nina made a sort of white cotton
nest, and both of’us took care of it. It grew,
the throbbing, featherless thing - it became
a beautiful tomtit, with blue wings, yellow
breast, and a blue crest, which she would
raise proudly in anger or in joy It flitted
in the room the livelong day, piping, chirp
ing, and longing for freedom. Then 1 said
to Nina, ‘lt is time that we part with our
dear prisoner.’ Nina, although grieved,
took the bird, and we descended to the gar
den. The day was perfect, the sky blue and
clear, and the sun shining in all its splendor,
Trees were everywhere teeming with fruit,
and flower-beds covered with bright flowers.
Then Nina realized how beautiful all nature
was. She said, looking at the struggling
bird, ‘You ungrateful one, how soon you
will forget us!’ ”
“We kissed our darling, and Nina, open
ing her hand, turned away her head, not to
witness its joyous flight. The tomlit, with
one exulting spring, was high, high above
us, cutting the air like an arrow. She was
soon in a neighboring tree, and began salu
ting us with a melody so clear and sweet,
we knew it was a thanksgiving hymn. But
Nina was very sad. The bird had taken
away some joy from her life, and, unable to
control her anguish, stretched her arms im
ploringly toward the tree, calling ‘Jfluette,
Bluette.’ She had given her that name.”
Hearing the well known voice of its young
mistress, the bird descended from its lofty
height and perched on her shoulder. How
can I express Nina’s joy ' She fondled and
caressed her pet, and the bird, with her little
yellow bill, kept coaxing for more caresses
My sister was speaking the while in her
sweet, triusical voice, and Bluette continued
singing.”
“Tears flowed down Nina's cheek, while
the soft silken wings of the bird wiped them
away.”
“ ‘You see;’ said Nina, proudly, ‘‘Biuette
w ill never part from us again.”
“Alas! how true were her words.”
Here the boy stopped, overcome with his
emotion; but he soon continued:
“From that moment, a close intimacy
seemed to exist between Nina and the tomtit.
The bird would sing at the sound of her
voice, and fly to her when she heard her steps.
They were constant companions. It was
Bluette that awoke her in the morning—
she would hop on the pillow; and peck the
rosy lips of the sleeping child. But soon the
beautiful days were over, and the cold winds
sent us back to Paris. My sister was in del
icate health, and needed the care of the most
skillful physician. She rapidly grew worse,
and alter a while could not leave her room
The waiting-woman spoke in whispers, and
my mother’s eyes were always red, and I—
what did I know of death? Bluette was al
ways near her mistress, How often did she
perch on my sister’s thin white finger! She
would neither warble nor sing, but would
remain pensive and silent, listening to my
sister’s tale of suffering. When Nina was
silent, the bird would lift her pretty head for
a kiss, and seemed tuencourage her to bear
patiently her pains. One day, I was quite
alone with my sister. I thought she was
sleeping, when all at once I heard her call
me. I went quickly to her. ‘Good-bye,
brother.’ said she. ‘I am going to die
Where is mama?’ ‘Mama is coming,’said J
wishing to quiet her, and she tell back mo
tionless. She was dead. I uttered a cry,
and fell on my knees. At this moment the
tomit, that was on the pillow, took its flight
through the half-opened window with a
plaintive cry. I could almost tancy that I
saw Ffina borne to Heaven on its azure
wings.”
I took the little fellow’s hand in mine, and
] pressed it. His heart was bursting. The
I old servant, who had been listening, had
\ also tears in his eyes. I enquired if that
I was the last he saw of the tomtit.
“0, no,” said ec. ‘As soon as 1 was in a
i condition to do so, 1 begged to he taken to
Nina’s grave, in the cemetery of Pere la
Chaise, 1 knelt on the marble, and was deep
in prayer, when I heard the song of a bird
near me. I raised my head and saw a tom
tit. My heart stood still. I called “Bluette,
Bluette!” just as my sister had been in the
habit of doing. Tne tomtit flew down and
w’as on my linger before 1 could recover
from iriy surprise. I covered with kissed
the faithful little creature; then she flew-ans
buried herself in the wreath of orange blos
soms that hung on the cross of the grave, as
if to tell me she still belonged to her who
was lying under the sod. Whenever 1 went
to the cemetery. I always found Bluette at
her post, singing by day and sleeping at
night among the flowers that loving hands
placed there. One morning she was found
frozen to death—she would not abandon her
mistress!”
By this time we hail reached the gate,
where a carriage stood waiting for the child
and the servant. Before we parted he said
with a melancholy smile, “Now you know
why 1 am so loud of birds.”
How It Seems to live Aiming Angels.
Avery curious case of trance, or
prolonged sleep, occurred In this
city during the past week, which
maybe of interest to the medical
profession, as well as to many others
who have turned their attention to
the various phenomena belonging
to the department of psychology.
The case has been called one of
trance because it is so termed by the
friends of the subject, total absence
of the symptoms that usually charac
terize catalepsy, epilepsy, or hys
teria.
The subject is a young girl, thir
teen years of age, named Ada Turk,
residing with her parents at No. 354
west Lake street. She is a blonde of
a most pronounced type, her hair
being genuine golden color—a color
much raved about by poets and
romancers, but seldom realized in
real life. Her eyes are a clear blue,
her skin is almost transparent iu its
clearness, and altogether she is a
most attractive and intelligent little
iady. Her general health appears
excellent, and her mind is exceeding
ly active. During tho trance she
was attended by Dr. Adam Miller,
a well known practicing physician
of this city, whom a reporter of tho
Times took occasion to interview on
yesterday with reference to the case.
“As a physician,” said Dr. Miller,
“I report the case from a medical
standpoint, and leave others to draw
their own conclusions. It will be
proper to add that the young iady is
a believer iu spiritualism, and claims
to have frequent communications
made to her from her friends aud
others iu the world of spirits. Her
parents are ulso strong believers in
the truth of these manifestations,
and claim that strange and unac
countable movements frequently take
place about the house.
“She was first entranced at the
house of Mr. Reed, No. 352 West
Madison street, on or about the 25th
of April, where she lay iu a comatose
state for twenty-four hours, seldom
speaking above a whisper, with her
eyes closed, her countenance natural,
aud her pulse between forty aud for
ty-live beats per minute. Her respi
ration was slow and regular, aud
during ail this time she did not take
a particle of nourishment nor taste
water, When spoken to, she seemed
not to recognize her own identity, but
claimed she was absent and another
spirit had taken possession of her
body. When she recovered from this
condition, or came back, as she ex
pressed herself, she seemed to be
perfectly happy and cheerful, and
appeared delighted with what sue
had seen during her absence, but re
fused to say much about it, as she
said she would soon have to oome
again, and be gone three days, or
perhaps longer.
‘ On the following Sunday evening,
April 22d, she again fell iuto a trance,
and remained apparently uncon
scious till the following Monday
evening, when she awoke to consci
ousness for a few hours, and then
again fell into a trance, and remain
ed in this condition till the following
Saturday—a period of five days.
During these live days she did not
eat more than what would make a
single meat for a healthy person.
Her symptoms were closely watched
by me, e.s her physician, with a view
of rendering medical aid should any
alarming symptoms manifest them
selves. Her eyes were constantly
closed, and when she made an ef
fort to talk it was always in a low
whisper. Towards the close of the
week her parents and friends became
uneasy, but were always assured in a
low whisper that ‘Ada will be back
on Saturday night.’ This time was
looked forward to be her friends, as
well as myself, with a good deal of
interest.
“About 7 o’clock in the evening
she whispered, ‘Ada is coming,’and
then, for the first time, difficult respi
ration commenced, and her limbs
became cold. Stimulants were or
dered and warm flat irons placed to
her feet, with active friction and
bathing of her head and stomach.
It was with great difficulty, however,
that she could swallow a teaspoonful
of the wine that was ordered for her,
on account of an apparent muscular
contraction of her throat. After a
few slightly convulsive movements
she came to her natural conscious
ness about one o’clock on Saturday
night, by no means dissatisfied, as
she claims, with
HER JOURNEY TO THE SPIRIT-WORLD.
She now talks freely of what she
saw; and her account agrees, very
singularly, in many respects, with
that given by the entranced Wiscon
sin girl, recently published in some
of our city papers.
“It may be proper to add that al
though she had her eyes closed with
the lids tightly pressed together, she
could readily’and correctly distin
guish different colors that were
brought to her, aud part of the time
her hands were employed iu making
fancy frames for pictures and other
fancy work, and whenever addres
sed by her own name would always
reply, ‘Ada is net here,’ and when
called a little girl, site whispered,
‘I am not a little girl; I am twenty
two years old, and my name is Su
sie.” ’
After tho interview with the doctor
the reporter repaired to the residence
j of the subject’s parents, and found
MISS ADA,
the young lady already described.
From her own statement, it appears
that she has been what is known
among spiritualists as a “medium
for more than four years, although
now only thirteen, frequently, as she
and her people allege, giving most
wonderful tests of spirit-power and
presence, through tho phase known
as normal clairvoyance—that is
clear-seeing” without going into the
trance state, as most alleged spirit
and mesmeric subjects do. From this
phase about six months ago she
passed to wlmt is known as table
tipping, followed by more or less
manifestations known as “materiali
zation.” The prolonged trance, she
says she is now told by her “guides,”
was for the purpose of perfecting her
system for spirit influence for impor
tant results In the future.
“Will you describe your feelings
and experiences during the trance?”
the reporter took occasion to ask.
“I felt a lightness, as if I were
about to float away. The next thing
I knew I saw my body lying on a
sofa and bed, but I could stay but a
moment. It was a mere glance.
Then T passed away. I seemed to
float.”
“Did you realize your wherea
bouts?”
“Yes perfectly; I knew all the
time that I had left my body, but
also felt that I must return to it. I
thought first I must have wings—l
seemed to fly—but I couldn’t find
any. I know 1 didn’t walk, for I
didn’t seem to have any limbs, but
floated a couple of feet above the
surface.”
“Did you see any oue?”
“Oh, yes, a great many spirits.
The first one I saw was Mrs. Briggs
the mother of a neighbor of ours, who
is dead, as people say. She seemed
to take charge of me. But I ulso saw
a great many others. I passed up
ward, and it seemed as if from room
to room, and each room was brighter
thau the other. They called them
spheres. I saw beautiful meadows
and flowers, and heard, oh, such
sweet music! In what they called
the second sphere, which was very
near the earth, the people seemed
quite unhappy, and oue man whom
I approached told me to go away. It
seemed to me he wanted to be alone
with his thoughts. In one of the
higher cireles I found nothing but
little children, all so happy, playing
in beautiful gardens. These little
childen I was told, were sometimes
taken back to earth to gain earth ex
perience, which they had lost by
their early deaths.”
“Were you happy.”
“Oh, I was very happy, and wanted
to stay. It was very pleasant, and I

pears, owing to her bright intelli
gence and almost full-grown figure—

and the fact, coupled with the state
ment of her physician, makes this
case one of peculiar interest, especial
ly to the medical profession.— Chicago
