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 explained from a physiological standpoint and does it come under the head of Physics, or does it come from supernatural causes aad without laws or or der. That the phenomena ex ists, is beyond dispute, whether it will ever be explained, re- Mains" to. be'leenrasbme spirits can be sen, handled and 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. They need not be named, be cause their name is legion. We refer principally to those medicines through which spirits figure largely as restorative agencies. Saur's Drug and ' Medicine Depot harbors a large number of healing spirits which can be purchased for a very small sum of money and if used according to directions will be the means of relieving pain and restoring the health of the af flicted. This'same drug store has many other things in which it seeks to , make .itself useful and to benefit mankind. The book department furnishes the provisions upon which hun dreds of brains are fed and are thus kept alive and active. The large stock of elegant patterns of wall and window paper is another medicine by which -many homes is made warm and comfortable. Then, too, comes ? , the many different colored c"' paints which are not only a f great preservative agency! but ' ' add to the beautiful as well, tons of which is sold "annually , . and which gives employment to thousands of people. This is a k - "branch of business in which this. house also figures largely. Saur's Drug and Book store aeems to be the depot x'r store house in which everything is kept which can be found in any drug and book house, at prices which everybody will acknowlckge to be very low. V . . . j . LETTER FROM THE WEST. Sioux Fallh, Dakota Ter.,1 July 5, mi. I Ed. Northwest : I see you have pub lished letter from all the towns around Napoleon but this. I lea Napoleon, Ohio, on Monday, the 27th ult., and arrived in Waterloo with my family at 12 o'clock noon, the next day. After a visit ofa week with frhe family of my lamented brother (Jerry), I left on Monday morning for tho Territory. We passed through a beautiful country and many towns have sprung up along the K. R. in the last 10 years, among others is Fort Dodge, Lamars and Storm Lake. We arrived in-8ioux City at 1 o' clock p. m. Sioux City is a place of near ly 10,000 inhabitants and nestles among the hills on the bank of the muddy Mis souri river. This city, like all river towns, is considered a hard place, but I was here over three heura aTid I never saw a fight, and it was the glorious 4th of July. We now take the Dakota Southern R. K. as far as Elk Point, and again change cars for Rok Valley, where we remained all night, and at 9 o'clock a. in., start tor Canton; ar riving there we are again met with the re ply you are too lute, the train is gone, and as only one train runs fronCi nEnn, tft Sioux Falls we have the choice to remain here all day and night, hire a, team or walk. We hired a team aud drove, across the country, arriving here at o'clock p. in. Sioux Fairs is the best bjiilt of any town out West of its size; theTpopulation is about 3,000, a; its 'inhabitants are very industrious. The town is or Die big Siou river, at the falls, from which jit takes its name. The falls answer a double purpose of a natural curiosity and watef powr,and is one of the best water powjers in thi west; the tall is 110 feet in less than a half mile, Here are some of the lirgeat grist mills I ever saw; the largest, the Queer!

' The country around here ia not settled teany gruttfe yet, but 8 mtTes btrt of town the land is all taken np, near town; the land is owned by speculators and tbeyj ask (20 per acre for the land; they are a curse to any country: I tell you that some' people in Ohio have the wrong idea when they think the west is the place tor the poor man; This is no country for a poor man at all, but a man with money that can stock his farm can make money. Nine out of every ten can do better on ifr acres in Ohio,tban they can onlOOacres here.Corn at best is worth but 20cts. here, and the most of it is damaged so as to render it un fit for market, and wheat is used up in freight East, and as an old farmer said to me : "Crops here are like tickets in a lot tery," if the grasshoppers come, no crop, and if the rust strikes the wheat .there , is no crop; this year it is the floods that pre vented the farmers from planting their crops. So you see the only thing that wiU win here is capital to buy a large track of land then stock it. I can't see why so many come west when wild land can be had within 8 or 10 miles of Napoleon for $20 per acre, and that is what they ask here, nearly 1000 miles farther from mar ket than Napoleon is. I don't take much stock in Greely's advice, "Go west young man, go west." I would prefix his advice .vith don't go, don't go. I shall leave here for Yankton, to-morrow, at 6 o'clock p. m. D. Hartsett. For many years the law has provided that show licenses should be from f 20 to $40. AVhen the Revised Statutes came up for approval the Legislature inserted from ?10 to $G0. Some Auditors have overlooked this fact, and continue to charge the old rates, and, invariably, the lowest rate al lowed. The State Auditor has sent circu lars to County Auditors, requesting strict compliance with the new law. The State is entitled to one-half the show license col lected iu each county, and the funds aris ing therefrom go to the use of the State Board of 'Agriculture.

Shortly after 11 o'clock on Thursday night the alarm of fire was turned in from box 51, by Officer Sawkins. who had discovered that the immense tobacco factory of W. S. Isherwood A Sons, on Ottawa street, near Broadway, had taken fire and was burning fiercely. Shortly after the first signal, the general alarm was sounded, for it was readily seen that there was likely to be active work for the entire department. The response was prompt, but the flames had gained such headway that little more could be done than to save the adjoining property, which was also in imminent danger of destruction. The flames spread with fearful rapidity, and within half an hour of the time when the fir was first dis covered the west wall gave way and wont down with a terrific crash. The rear wall followed soon after, -leaving the building in ruins. An immense concourse of peoplo gath ered upon the scene to witness the con flagration, which, under the heavy at mosphere, formed a grand and impres sive spectacle. The number of drying rooms in the building paved the way for the successful career of the devouring elements, and the tobacco, in itself, burned like veriest tinder. The flames progressed with unabated fury until but the empty shell the ruins of the walls remained to mark the course of human industry in this particular. The firemen worked with an energy that was almost superhuman, but their labors were as nothing in the balance, before the fierce rapidity of the licking flames. The total loss will probably aggregate something like $60,000, which, with the exceptions of some $15,000 or $30,000, was fully covered with insurance. Mr. vy. S. Isherwood is out of th9 city, and the younger members of the Arm are not positive as to the exact amount of the in surance. The stock on hapd was, per haps, a little larger than is usual at this season of the year. This firm employed about 200 hands, most of whom were girls. The building was owned by the Connecticut Life Insurance Company and vfu8 worth about $20,000. It was fully insured. A SCRAP-BOOK. Cotnrplied for the President's' Reading ir When He Gets Well. ashingtos, July 8. Mr. Morton, of ;lerical force at the White House, is aring a separate scrap-book of the newspaper accounts of the shooting and dangerous illness. The different accounts ara cut up and pasted in a Mark Twain scrap-book. The editorial remarks and comments are scissored and put in along side the telegraphic accounts. Accounts of public meetings held are also preserv ed, ' The literature of this character will make a big volume, which will take the President some time to peruse after he is able to read. He has expressed a desire to have the reports of the calamity and press comments preserved. The tele grams of sympathy which have been re ceived will all be preserved. They make a big collection. The telegrams from foreign governments and rulers wore nearly all addressed to Secretary Blaine. These will be kept in the records of the State Department. Those received at the White House will be put in some con venient form, that they will be readily accessible to the reader. A Desperate Situation. , Kansas City (Mo.) Times. Truesdale was detailed to shovel grain from: one of the bins to the chute. Through, this bin ran a perpendicular flange screw elevator, which, being at tached to the shaft by a belt, was kept constantly in motion. By some accident the unfortunate man slipped while near it, and his foot being caught in the ro tating flange was drawn down the shaft on-Which it works until the knee-joint was level with the floor. Knowing that unless something was speedily done his body would be ground to pieces in this sausage-machine, with a presence of mind that was extraordinary, raised his body until it reached the belt which turned the flange, and by sheer strength of mus cle held the machinery still, thus putting his strength against the strength of a twenty-horse engine. In this condition with his crashed and mangled limb still in the machine, he held out against the engine for three-quarters of an hour, when he was rescued by other workman, who had come to see what was the mat ter with the machinery. He was taken to the Sisters' Hospital, and Dr. Bigger says he will ultimately recover the use of the injured member. Truesdale Li about six feet high, and weighs only 170 pounds, but is a perfect giant in muscle. Tho forty-five minutes he spent holding the machinery, he says, will always be a horrible remembrance. Planting Koses. A blacksmith had in his possession, but under mortgage, a house and a piece of land. Like many others he was at one time fond of the social glass, but was happily induced by a friend to join the temperance society. About three months after, he observed his wife busily em ployed planting rose bushes and fruit trees. "Mary," said he, "I have owned this cottage for five years, and I have never seen yoa doing this before." "I had often thought of it before," re plied she, "and yet I had no heart to do it until you gave up the drink. For I was persuaded that should I do it, some strangers would pluck the roses and eat the fruit. Now, with God's blessing, thid cot will be ours; and we and our children may expect to enjoy the produco. We shall pluck the roses and eat the fruit." A great earth-slip is in progress near Sigriswen, Canton of Berne, Switzerland, above the lake of Thun. A stretch of land on which are jaeadows and house, is gradually slipping down toward the lake. . , . THE PRESIDENTS WOOD. Dr. Hamilton on the Probable Course or the Ball. New York, July 9. Dr. F. H. Hamil ton said this evening that the very favor able condition of the President for several days gave much ground for the belief that Tie would ultimately recover. In reply to questions regarding the nature of the wound, as judged in the light of a bistorv of tho cose, Dr. Hamilton said: "Evidence ia daily increasing that no in ternal vital organ bos suffered any serious, or what might be termed fatal, injury. This implies that the ball must have suf fered a deflection from its original course, and there seems much reason to suppose that it eventually took its way down to wards tho lower part of the abdominal cavity, and that it is resting now some where in that region at a point probably where it does not seriously endanger life. I will not speak of the abscess which is likely to form at the probable seat of the ball as eerioaalv endangering the Presi dent's life. The bullet may remain where it 13 for an indefinite period for aught we know, becoming eneisted, or, what is more probable, matter, will be formed about it in sufficient quantity to render absorption impossible. Then the matter will, by an established law of na ture, in a healthy constitution, such as that of the President, gradually and safe ly work its way to the surface aad be discharged. The abscess formed about tho ball, may direct itself toward the skin through some of the numerous out lets between the muscles, when it will reach a point under the skin, so as to be felt by the finger to fluctuate. Then the abscess can be safely opened, and the matter permitted to escape. Sooner or later Xifter tlm the channel through which pus has passed out may be ex amined by a probe, and the exact seat of tho ball in thi3 channel be determined, and the bullet extracted. Or the abscess may seek the surface by advancing to wards the skin by making a perforation into an intestine, which is an equally safe mode of cgrecs. By this methad many balls have been discharged from the ab dominal cavity. Not a few, indeed, have escaped by a similar process into . the bladder, but in this case surgical opera tion is necessary to extract them; namely, r.n incision like that made for ordinary tfieration for stone in the bladder. By tiny of these methods the ball may be ror pove(i without a trifle of danger to the 1 resident." . - When ask if any anxiety need be felt tr.ibuse it should prove that none of trie vital organs sustained serious injury. Dr. Hamilton said there would then be little ground for apprehension. There would be little fear but that nature would take care of the ball, or enable it to be safely removed by surgical means. TRAVELS OF AN EYE-STONE. Placed in the Eye, It Finally Comes Ont ofa Finger. tfiddletovn (Conn.) Press. The following remarkable incident has just come to our knowledge. It would seem almost incredible were it not for the absolute veracity of the gentleman making the statement. Mr. Kufus Miller is a well-known farmer of this town. living at Mecbanicstown. Some five or six years ago oust before retiring, Mr. Miller placed in bis eye what was known as an eye-stone, for the purpose of re moving a mote, asj he had frequently none oeiore. uor tne Denent ot those of our readers who may not know what an eye-stone is, we will exolain. . It is a small, white round shell, about three-six teenths of an inch in diameter, concave on one side, convex on the other and quite thin. It is taken from the head of a crab, one being found under each eye of that crustacean. In the morning when Mr. Miller awoke, he could not find the stone. He made a careful and thorough search, but all in vain, and he made up his mind that it was gone for good. A few weeks since he felt a hard growth on the end of the little finger of his right hand. He showed it to some friends, who concluded it was a wart, and advised him to let it alone. He did so until about a week since, when it began to be sore, and he commenced picking at it. He soon found out that some hard sub stance was under the skin and digging away, he finally took out his long lost eye-stone. He examined it so carefully that there-can be no mistake. He now recollects that at one time he experenced a considerable soreness in his wrist, and supposed at that period the stone was pressing in that direction. : How this bit of carbonate of lime ever made that long journey without being lost or absorbed is a mystery. That it did so there can be no doubt. Postmaster at Lyons, Fulton County, Shoots his Own Son. Information has been received that Postmaster Cannon, Lyons, Fulton county, shot his son Wednsday night, supposing mm tone a ourgiar. ineioi iowing are the brief details of the case: Some time ago the postoffice was rob bed, and since that time Postmaster C. E Carmon has been very anxious on the subject of burglars. About 2 o'clock that morning his attention was aroused by seerng a figure on the roof of the ex tension to the house, and he fired the contents of a breech-loading carbine through the head of the supposed intrud er. Examination soon revealed the hor rible fact that he had killed his 14-year-old son Elmer, who had gone out, either in a fit of somnambulism or to seek relief from the terrible heat. After Apaches.

Atlanta, Ga., July 8. Last night, in Heard county, near Alabama, occurred one of the most horrible instances of popular indignation on record. Jesse Waldrop was burned to ashes for a crime so horrid that the law's delays could not stand between him and vengeance. Three months ago. in Randolph county. Alabama, Dr. John Mitchell, a prominent young physician, married Carrie Knight, tamed for her beauty and accomplish ments. On the 29th of June, in the jov of their honeymoon, Dr. Mitchell was walking up the road near bis country home, when he beheld what almost para lyzed him with horror. His lovely wife lay before him a ghastly corpse. Her throat was cnt from ear to ear, and her body wts torn with the fearful clutches of her murderer. It was discovered that she had been raped and murdered. The neighborhood was at oncn aflame with excitement, and search for the guilty wretch was begun. Jesse Waldrop had not long been in the county, but there had followed him rumors of his bad character. He was seen on the road near where the corpse was found on the day of the murder. In the death-straggle the murderer had bitten his victim severely on the cheek and left signs that one of his front teeth was out. Waldrop had this peculiarity. With these evidences search for him was begun at once, and it was found that he had fled. Trained bloodhounds were obtained, and from the scene of the murder they tracked him several miles into Georgia. Here the pursuing party heard that Waldrop had passed. Gradually tracing him, they ar rived at Newnan, thirty miles from At lanta, where a ferryman described a man wno naa crossed, the night beiore, and the pursuers knew that Waldrop could not be far away. At midnight on the 3d the party reached a house where vhey learned a man calling himself Owen had stopped. 1'hey demanded to her shown to nis room, and, rapping on it, Waldrop came out. . He was seized,, and after a desperate resistance bound. He denied all knowledge of the . crime, and wa taken to 3 an, though the fury of some of the crowd demanded his instant death. Next day circumstances were collected so strongly andr presented trf hinf thjat, trembling with fear, he corrfeesed.≪ told how he had a passion for the beauti ful young woman, and, meeting her, threatened her life if she would jnot yield to his desires. She indignantly repelled him, and tried to escape. In his struggle to accomplish his hellish design he nad bitten and torn her horribly. She strug gled so fiercely that the wretch was about to lose his hold, when he cut her throat, and as she was dying accomplished his black crime. After detailing this damn ing story, Waldrop told of a life of crime which few police annals can equal. He confesses to having five living wives, and gave a list of aliases, saying he has always had an uncontrollable passion for women. When he confessed, passion rose so high that he was about to be swung, when some one suggested that he ought to die on the scene of his crime, and that hanging was too good for him. Accordingly he was left in jail until night before last, when fifty men armed, but not disguised, went there and de manded him. The Jailer gave him up, and the procession started. All along the route people came out to look at the prisoner and demand that he should die. Several times the excitement grew so great that it seemed it would wreak ven geance on the wretch at once, but riding by his side were relatives of the murder ed woman, who guarded him and declared they had reserved him for a special fate. Late yesterday afternoon the scene of the murder was reached. Nothing was done rashly, but preparations were made for the execution with ghastly coolness. Waldrop was firmly tied and bound with wire to a stake driven on the spot where his victim was found, when for the first time his dogged courage failed. He pleaded piteously, not for life, but only to be allowed to die by the gallows or bullet; but he cried to men of stone and at midnight one of tho relatives of the unfortunate woman applied the torch to the pine which saturated with oil had been piled aiound him. His screams rang out on the quiet country air, and the flames lit up the scene with lurid glare. The death struggles were horrid, but not a man stirred. Standing 'in a circle around the human sacrifice, they looked with stolid indifference on the horrid expiation of the crime. From first to last the officers made no effort to save the prisoner for a legal doom. If they had it would have been futile, for popular passion was fairly frenzied. Waldrop was twenty-three years old, and a man of good address. : (Juiteau's Cowardice. Special to the Cincinnati Commercial. Washington, July 9. "Guiteau's at tempt at bluff and bullying when I first stopped him moving off from the depot," said Officer Kearney, "immediately gave out upon the arrest, and he wilted like a wet rag." He seems to be in a condition of wilt ever since. Captain Warnon says he nas never seen a man so wretchedly cowardly since the crime as Guiteau. When leaving for the jail he pulled his hat down over his face to conceal his features, and clung to tho officers as a drowning man to a straw. In the hack he crouched down on the floor, and per sistently urged the officers "for God's sake to hurry, and don't let them hurt me. w hen safely within the walls his nerves calaied somewhat, and he Quieted down. Now that he understands the favorablo condition of His Excellency; he is overcome with terror, and is nervous and cowardly. He is already beginning part payment for his dastardly deed, as no remarked last night to one 01 the guards, m a quivering voice, .jerKy with excitement: "This' is death in life: my earth is a bell.

The Paris correspon dent says: At yesterday's sitting of the Monetary Conference, Evarts, delegate from the United States, read the follow ing declaration of French and American delegates, in the name of their respective uovernmenta: "The depreciation and groat fluctua tions in the value of silver relatively to gold which of late years have shown inemselves, and which continue to exist, have been and are injurious to com merce and general prosperity, and the es tablishment and maintenance of fixed relations of value between silver and gold would produce most important benefits to the commerce of the world. A convention has been entered into bv . an important group of States, by which tney should agree to open their mints to the free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold, at a fixed proportion of weight Detween gold and silver contained in a monetary unit of each metal and with a full legal tender faculty to money thuc issued, which would cause and maintain the stability in the relative value of the two metals suitable to the interests and requirements of the commerce of the world. Any rato now or of late in use by any commercial national if adopted by such an important group of States could be maintained but the adoption or 154 of silver to one of gold would accomplish the principal object with lees disturbance in monetary systems to be elected by it than any other ratio. W ithout consider ing the effect which might bo produced towards the desired object by the lesser combination of States, a combination which should include Enirland. France. Germany and the United States, with the concurrence or other a States both in Europe and all the American Continent, which this combination would insure. would be adequate to produce and main tain throughout the commercial world the relation between metals that such combination should adopt. OHIO CROPS. . Report From the State Bear of Ag ricnltnre, ;. 1 Columbus, O., July 9. Tfie forthcom intr Julv eroD reDort of the State Board of. Agriculture, based ont estimates from one thousand township correspondents returned July 1 to , will give the follow ing percentages of the condition and prospects of crops, compared with July 1,1880: Wheat 77 per cent., rye 86, oats 94, corn 76, timothy hay 92, clover hay 101, red top, etc., 87, Hungarian 92, potatoes 86, tobacco 87, apples 39, pears 63, peaches 43, plums 55, grapes 73. Wheat prospects May 1st, were reported 85 per cent. The loss is due to the May drouth and to the Hessian fly. Much of the wheat is thin on the ground, but has long heads and plump berry. Nearly the entire crop of wheat for Ohio has been secured in good weather and is in good condition. Seventy-seven per cent, of last year's crop (52,000,000,) as estimated by the State Board November last, would be 40,000,000 bushels. But as compared with the estimate of the Washington De partment (39,000,000) it would be but 30,000,000 bushels. At all events the present estimate is for 77 per cent, of last year s crop, whatever that was. The prospocts in Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and Iowa are far less than 50 per cent, of last year's totals, according to reports received by the Ohio State Board from official and private sources. From the latest reports received since harvest is nearly finished, Secretary Chamberlain is of the opinion that threshers' returns will not show more than 76 per cent, of last year's crop in Ohio.

Please convey my personal congratulation for the present safety which to my experience betokens deliverance. I now consider recovery assured. Secretary Blaine received in the mail to-day a postal card post marked St. Louis, Mo., but without signature, upon which the writer states he had carefully watched the reports relative to President Garfield, and should not be satisfied with simply the incarceration of Guiteau in an insane asylum, or for a term of years in the penitentiary, but that he had avowed by all that is holy, to take ven- feanceforthe suffering needlessly caused resident Garfield, and to kill Guiteau himself, which statement he desired not to be forgotten. Less than a hundred years ago a -woman was hung in England for picking up a piece of dress goods in a shop, al though returning it on being detected.
