Spiritualism Explained, The question of questions, with the learned and unlearned, the materialist, scientist, re ligionists, and in tact every body, is "What is Modern ; Spiritualism?" Is it a verity or is it all a humbug ? Can it be 5 explained from a physiological I standpoint . and does it come jjmderthe head of Physics, or does it come from supernatural 1 causes and without laws or or der. That the phenomena ex ists, is beyond dispute, whether it will ever be explained re mains to, be seen. That-some 4gjdejm . be; aeesU. handled tad made use of to a good, ad vantage as well as explained is also a fact to which all drug gists and chemists can testify.

"WASHINGTON LETTER. r Faoai onr regular Corraapondent. t Washington. May 2, 1881. So Great has been the pressure for exe cutive sessions ot the Senate, to confirm some of the important nominations, that evidences of a break have gathered dur ing; the laHt few days. It is plain that a majority; of the Republican Senators do sire to give way. They are tired of the contest and well satisfied that it is not do ing them any good before the country, but the question is how to change front without yielding to the Democrats. Over this problem they have lately been cau cusing twice a day, and finally a com mittee of seven was appointed to devise a way .out of the dilemma. If it is finally decided to permit executive sessions for confirming the more urgent nominations over which there is no special contest, there will then be great difficulty in con tinuing the Mahone Riddleberger strug gle. The bottom would fall out of it in a hurry and the hot weather, such as we have had this week, for instance, would soon cause an adjournment, senator Conkling, who opposes going into execu tive session, played it prettv sharp on the Administration Senators by pretending to be ready to take up the Robertson tight and warning them that they must take the responsiblity or his defeat, this rather disconcerted the President's friends who were working for executive sessions. Conkling intimated that he had counted noses and knew where he stood. But nut of all this division in the camp will final ly come to a Bmall Democratic victory. It will be a new sensation to witness a Republican back-down, but it is coming. Our side has, there in Congress, generally done the backing-down, though the Democratic position has often been as it is in this contest. Perhaps we fight better when we are in the minority. The "Star route" scandal is still the sensation here, and from all that can be learned concerning future developments it promises to be second only to the whis key ring exposures of eight years ago. Brady and the contractors so far impli cated only meet the accusations against them with bold general denials, ine Whiskey ring scamps did the same; so. also, did Tweed in his time. But there is ample evidence that what has been charged is not all falsehood and slander. One laughable feature of Brady's defense is his attempt to make Samuel J. maen responsible for bis downfall. It has been admitted that Mr. Tilden stole Charley Ross and that, very likely, be wrote the Morey letter, alt of which was pretty bad, but here is still another crime for him to expiate.' Brad; a; Washington newspa per, edited by George C. Malione-Oorham. sava that the ex-assistant Postmaster- General was ritruiBtt in causing-the publication et certain cipher Qispaicnes and that the "star route" scandal has been invented by Tilden for revenge. In the language of the (street, this is "rather gauzy." The method by which so much piunaer has been secured is such that actual fraud is difficult to prove though it may be very apparent. It consists in raising the com pensations after contracts are let, upon the ground of increased or "expedited" service. For instance, A and B are com petitors for a coutract worth about $15,- 000. over a route requiring three trips a week. A is an honest bidder and tiles his estimate in good faith. B is a jobber, and hv an understanding with the au thorities in charge of the letting, makes his bid below the actual cost of perform ing the service. He gets the job and straightway sets about getting signatures along the mute petitioning for daily trips and -expedited" service. In accordance with this petition, his compensation is increased to S75.000 or perhaps S100.00U, This sort of thing being done on about 93 routes, makes a eood thine for not only the contractors but for their confederates in the Department with whom they are supposed to divide. In most of these cases the increase in compensation is nearly all profit, as the extra expense is but slight. Yet it is all done witnin tne letter of the law and the records of the contract office are in perfect order. Old Simon Cameron has been here try ing to secure "harmony'' between Sena tor Conkling and the President. The ba sis upon which he proposed it, however, was the withdrawal of the nomination of Robertson for Collector of the port of New York, which would amount to a complete surrender on the part of the President, his argument being that the appointment was regarded by Mr. Conk l'ng's friends as an uct of direct hostility to the stalwart element in iNew Jtork. But the mission was a total failure. Gen. Garfield said that others had already pre sented the case to him from the stand point, but that he could not entertain the proposition. It would seem that he means fight, and it may be, if it comes to open hostility, that Gen. Garfield will not reproach himself in the end as Hayes has done. The latter now acknowledges his mistake in being half-hearted about it. He has said since he left office that he re grets he did not remove every Conkling man from office everywhere, high or low. How She Saved Money. "For nearly six years my daugther was most of the time on a sick-bed from Kid ney and other disorders peculiar to woman. We had used up our savings on doctors and prescriptions without any benefit. Our dominie advised us to try Parker's Ginger Tonic, and four bottles effected a marvelous cure. As it has been our only medicine since, and a dol lar's worth has kept our family well over a year, we have been able to lay by a little money again for a rainy day." A Poor Man's Wife, apl 7-1 mo. Says the New York Heraldot Tuesday: "Colonel iDgorsoll delighted an immense audience last night, and can be sure of more, for every bad character in New York wants to believe that Christianity is a fraud." A New Jersey preacher, who was an noyed by the ladies of his congregation turning about in their seats, paused in his discourse to say: "Ladies, if you will give me your attention for a few moments, I will keep a lookout on the door, and if any thing worse than a man enters, I will warn you in time for you to make your escape." H0RR0BS OF B0T1LTT. Extraordinary Precautions Iralnst the Assassination of the Sew Czar. New York. April 28. A letter from St. Petersburg gives a gloomy account of the new Czar's life at the castle Gats china, thirty miles from the Capital. Before the Court removed thither several hundred artisans of the Procobrojinsky Regiment were sent to make the neces sary alterations. At midnight they were assembled in the church of Catschina, j and were sworn to silence, death or Si beria being the penalty of infraction of the oath. Ten roubles was the price of each man's silence. The alterations were made in forty-eight hours. Vodki soon loosened the tongues of the work men, and the following is a description of the precautions against assassination made on the Palace of the Czar: A subterranean passage leads from the Czar's room to the stables, where a num ber of horses are kept saddled and bri dled day and night. Sentinels are post ed at intervals of twenty yards all around the building. The Imperial bedroom has two windows, protected at night by massive irom shutters, 'which can only be reached from the outside by passing through three spacious ante-chambers, in which are posted eighty Cossacks armed to the teeth. They are allowed to speak and to move about in the two outer rooms, but in the hall adjoining the Czar's bedroom perfect silence is maintained all night. The General on duty for the day Bits in an easy chair, his Cossacks sitting on a divan which runs around the whole room. At the General's right hand is a knob of an electric apparatus which rings a bell in every guardhouse within the Palace grounds. When the Emperor is about to retire, before shutting the door he removes the outer handle, so no entrance can be effected until he himself personally opens the door from the in side. Unlike his father, he can not en dure an armed soldier in his bed-chamber. Several mines have been discovered at St. Petersburg. A quantity of dynamite was seized lust atter it had been intro duced into the court-yard of the Palace of Gatschina, concealed in a load of hay. The Czarina is seriously ill, being subject to severe nervous attacks and strange hallucinations. Hessy Helf mann's illness is expected to be brought to a close in a very short time, and it is thought this will be the signal for her execution. The Parish Intransigeant declares she baa been ruthlessly tortured since a prisoner. Rochefort says of Girardin: "The great hatcher of politics . and financial schemes has now encountered the only thing that can not be turned into shares death." Don't Like It. Harper's Weekly does not like the Ma hone business, to reward whom the Re publican United States Senators refuse to go into executive session and attend to the business President Garfield called them together to attend to. This is what the Weekly says about it: "There is certainly some turning of the tables when Republicans in the Sen ate who have most warmly denounced the rebel Brigadiers and insisted upon strict financial honesty, are found sup porting a repudiating rebel Brigadier as a friend and brother. "For his repudiating or 'adjusting' policy nothing can be said except that any attempted reorganization of the Re publican party in Virginia upon a plat form of national dishonesty would cer tainly fail, as it ought to fail. "If it has been deliberately bought with patronage it is a tnutal disgrace to Mr. Mahone and to his buyers. "If the Republicans promised to give Mahone's friend, Riddleberger, a warm place as the price of his vote, it was a ahametui bargain." Her Photograph. A Boston drummer was the other day taking an order from a firm in Elizabeth, N. J., and when he left the store he left behind him a memorandum book, a lot of cards, and a photograph of a very good looking lady. In course of an hour he returned with an anxious step and said: "Just my careless way, I left my book and a photograph here. It is the photo graph of my sister who is dead, and I prize it very highly. Haven't seen it have you?" "Yes." said the senior member of the firm, "I had it in my hand when Mr. who lives in the next town above, drop' ped in on an errand. He caught sight of the photo, and he lumped two leet high and swore like a trooper. He recognized it as the picture ot his wife! "No!" grasped the drummer. "That's what he said. If you are his brother-in-law then his wile may be your sister. If you are not, and you can't make him believe that his wife and your sister were twins, you'd better have your shooter ready." "Well. I never was worth a cent on ar gument, and I gueSs I'll catch the next train out. It's my sister, of course, but while 1 was convincing that old jealous pated grandfather of the fact I might lose a big sale down the road. Can't miss no sales these sharp times, you know.

That Is the spirit or the War Be tweea Conkling; and The Ad ministration, New York. May 3. The Time' dis patch from Washington aays the contro versy growing out of the nomination of Judge Robertson for Collector at New York is regarded by Republican Senators, so far as results are concerned, should the issue be joined in the Senate over the nomination, as having passed beyond a mere question of the individual triumph of the President over Senator Conkling, and as involving a breach in the party in the State of New York and elsewhere, that would lead to disaster at the coming elections for members of the next Con gress. If the nomination of Judge Rob ertson is kept before the Senate, Repub lican Senators say serious results will fol low to the party, no matter what may be the action of the Senate: and the question that Republican Senators will be called upon to decide is, will rejection or confirmation be less disastrous ? Conkling appeared by invitation before the Caucus Committee, and made a long and earnest protest against confirmation, and to all appeals declined to modify his opposition in the slightest degree. He was determined, lie said, to use every effort to defeat confirmation, and, so far as he was concerned, nothing short of the withdrawal of Judge Robertson's nomin ation would avert the struggle; He would not only fight the nomination in secret session and at everj stage, but should it be determined to act affirma tively on it, he would carry the contest into the open session of the Senate, and publicly arraign the Prei-i Jeut for wanton breach of faith pledjjed first at New York during his visit at the special invi tation of the President. Prior to starting upon his campaigning tour in the West he had received positive assurance that no humiliation would be put upon him and his friends in New York, and he would receive due consideration on all matters of this kind that affected the interests of the Republican party in New York. The nomination of Judge Robertson was a violation of this voluntary tender on the part of the President, and was distesteful to himself, Senator Piatt, and other lead ing Republicans of New York, without whose labors the State would have voted for Hancock. This i said to describe substantially the attitude of Mr. Conkling before the Committee, The situation is still further complicated by the reported attitude of Senator Piatt. That gentleman, accord ing to creditable reports, will co-operate earnestly with Conkling to secure the re ject ifui oicj udjse Koberteon i but should he be confirmed, Piatt, having no desire to continue the four years' war upon the Administration that he believes will in evitably follow, will resign his seat in the Senate. The Committee called on the President and made known the attitude of the New York Senators, and suggested, to avoid threatened rupture in the Repub lican party, he might witndraw Judge Robertson's nomination. The President assured them that in no event, nor under any circumstances, would he withdraw Judge Robertson's name. He had acted for what he believed to be the best inter ests of the country and the Republican party, and it was for the Senate to con firm or reject the nomination. A Brave Woman. An interesting story is told of a young wife who went West with her husband, and thereencountered all sorts of "hard luck." Crops failed, cattle died, the young farmer sickened. During all ibis time the young wife never grew discour aged, but did all in her power to keep her husband from getting the "blues. But one morning the boy, who did the chores, came in and said" he could not find the old cow on the farm. So our heroine set out in search of the lost ani mal, and tinnliy found hsr were she had fallen, over between two large logs dead. The young woman was at last discouraged, and for a time would not go bsck with the bad news to her husband, but finally overcame her own feelings, went merrily to the house and upon en tering, said: "Well, Rollin, our luck has changed." "How is that?" he anx iously inquired. "Why," said she, "the old cow is dead: you can skin her, sell the hide, and we will have some money." And it proved to be true, for their luck did chunge from that day. They sold out their interest in the farm and bought another one, began over, and to-day are well-to-do people. Does not this teach a lesson to repining wives, and show what power there is in a hopeful spirit? The Delphos Herald gives State Sena tor Gayloid M. Saltzgaber a warm send- off for Governor. It says: "His record is good. Entering the army at the age of fifteen years, he serv ed his country for four years, being hon orably discharged at tlie close ot the re bellion. Exercising the same excellent good sense and foresight while yet a mere boy that has been one of his most distin guishing characteristics since, he saved sufficient while in the army to enable him to spend the ensuing four years at one ol our best colleges. Graduating with honor, shortly thereafter he formed a law partneranip ,wir,n the leading law yer of v an Wert, and continued the iun ior member of the firm of Alexander & Saltzgaber until his election to the Senate in 1877.

WASHISGTO. The Thieves Quarreling Threat. Against Garfield an4 Hayes. Spm-lal Ui the Plain Dealer. Washitton. April 30. Dorsey, charg ed with being in the star mat rinjr, pub lishes a letter denying not the existence of the ring but that he was in it. He in timates that Brady is a rascal and that he ought to be prosecuted. Brady on the other hand threatens all sort of evil up on the administration if the investi gation is not stopped. It is well for the President that he is fortifying him self at the outset, because their is infor mation in possession of the rinir unon which charges might be brought that he uuuiu not wen overtook unless the expos ure could have so far progressed as to make the charges appear simply vindic tive. They are very serious for one in his position and with his aspirations and have never yet been published. It will thus be seen that other considerations that pressure upon the Executive to drop ne matter ior party reasons with a Binv pie exposure are likely to govern devel opments in the case. Those who claim to know say that no criminating evidence will be furnished by the beneficiaries of the expedited routes upon which suit can be brought, and claims that without such evidence a suit would not stand. A quarrel among themselves, it is said, would alone make the necessary revela tions for successful prosecutions. Of the probability of that nothing can now be foretold, although the contractors whose pay is to be cut down to a reasonable basis will doubtless become disaffected. It is said that Brady has a letter of Gar field's in his possession, showing that Garfield knew of the thefts and knew that part of the stolen money was sent to Indiana to buy that State. It is also said that Hayes knew all about the steal ing but would not interfere lest it would hurt the party. Yotiug Qualifications In the State of Rhode Island. The franchise in Rhode Island not being very well understood by the pubiic, the following explanation of the matter is made as Drier and succinct as possible: There are two clases of voters in Rhode Island, property and registry voter. Both can vote for all general officers, Mayors and general city officers, and Presidential Electors, but only prop erty voters can ballot for membership of City Councils in cities, the idea govern ing this latter franchise being that only that property-holders can have an inter est in the question of taxation. QuauV ncsuons or voters are distinct. ino: natives of the Unites States can become registry voters by a residence of two years in the State and six months in the town; or they become property voters by a residence of one year and owning $134 value of real estate. Second, those born in foreign countries must be naturalized, must live one year in the State, and must own $134 worth of real estate in all cas es. They cannot become registry voters, nor voters in any way, except by owning real estate, but when made voters bv owning such real estate, they vote for officers of everv kind. It is this impara- tive clause, that in Rhode! Island natur alized citizens must own real estate to the value of $134, which is not generally known. Besides the qualifications for registry voters, these persons must have their names duly entered in the registry list oeiore tne end or December of the proceeding year, and must nav SI reeis- try fee before the 10th day of January of the year in which they intend to vote. Registry voters of American birth can become property voters by pavinc a tax on $134 worth of property, real or per sonal. Men native born, without proper ty, real or personal, may be taxed for a nominal sum of $300 personal so called, and thus become property voters. A Wood County Linguit, Bowling Green democrat. John Thompson, at present a merchant of Custar, is, without doubt, the most wonderful Linguist in Ohio. Mr. Thomp son can speak fluently in the English, French, German, Latin, Servian, Bohe mian, Italian, Spanish, Hollondish and Greek languages. Born in Seidleko, in the Prussian Province of Poland, in 1823, he emigrated to the United States in 1852, settling in Plain township, near Bowling Green. When he landed in New York he witnessed the imposing funeral cer mony of Henry Clay, and during the late war as Sergeant he commanded thedeteal of the Second Battalion (V. R. C.) 47th Company, which acted as escort when the body of the great Kentuckian was re moved to Lexington.

Alleged Fraud in State Supplies, .. ' j CoLrvBL-s.May 9. The Sunday papers charge that there has been fraud in the matter of coat supplied some of the state institutions here. The institution m which the alleged frauds are principally charged is the central Ipsane Asylum. Captain Alexis Keeler. one time Chief of Police here, and a prominent Republican striker hns the contract for furnishing coal, and is accused of delivering it short weight. It is stated that some loads of coal were short as much as a ton to the load. Captain Keeler in a card in this morning's Journal denies that there was any fraud, and says that if there was any shortage he knew nothing about it. He demands an investigation. There are some whispers about a ring among the Republican officials, but nothing definite is alleged. Crop Reports. Cincinnati. April 29. The Time-Star to-day publishes a report of the crop pros pects, collected directly from farmers and grain dealers from all parts of the country, the result of which is about as follows: Ohio Wheat, large acreage and en couraging prospects; tobacco plants ad vancing finely; fruit variously reported, peach buds in some places being partially and others totally killed. Kentucky Poor promise for wheat and good prospect for fruit. Indiana An encouraging wheat pros pect except in Southern Indiana. Barley is a total failure. Corn planting has com menced in the southern counties. In Arkansas and Texas the season was cold; late peaches are a failure, early corn has been injured by rains which also reduces the acreage of cotton. 7-" ; West Virginia The peaches are killed; late and wet weather is unfavorable to the crops.
