The second part of the performance consisted of the spiritual manifesta tions', from which Mr. Brown stated that the audience must draw their own conclusions. He would not say wheth er or not they were genuiue. but he did say that he regarded about nine-tenths of the spiritual manifestations of the day as legerdemain,’ and one-tenth as genuine His performance of these' manifestations including the table trick and the cabinet trick and the message from the dead trick evidently came under the head of th e nine-tenths, though nobody in the audience , could 'explain how they were done.
