Spirits are snpposed'not to be enpabte advisers in business matters and this is thought to be good ground for con testing the will. Read the Prospectus of the St. Paul Globe on our outside. The Democracy of Minnesota at last have a newspaper worthy of their support. No journal tot in Minnesota understands better than Mr. Hall how to '-raise Old Ned" and sell newspapers, and when the great National wave reaches this State Mid begins to melt down the Republi can sugar loaf, the Globe will come to the front prepared to hold its own. The Catholic Review says: Crime is rampant, and red-handed murder stalks through the land. And the criminals, nine out of ten, are men who have been educated in our public school*}, and learned there to despise God and to defy his laws. And yet the Bible is read in our pub lic schools and many of them are open ed with prayer. A large proportion of the teachers are as bigotedly devoted their own church and their own "view of theology as the Catholic is to hK But the Catholic thinks the Prot estent is despising God and defying his laws," and the Protestent thinks the Liberal despising God and defy ing his laws, and the Liberal thinks, well, he t'links what poor fools these church wranglers are, and that in all nations whosoever worketh righteous ness and feareth God is excepted of him. THE SOUTHERN MINNESOTA. The resignation of General manager W. C. Van Horn, to accept the position of Superintendent of the Chicago, Al ton & St. Louis road, is to be regretted, for no man we know of has had better success in bringing non-paying railroads up to the point where they pay. Be fore taking charge of the Southern Minnesota. Mr. Van Horn had thewe management of a St. Louis road which he soon put on a successful basis. He was then induced to take charge of the Southern Minnesota and from that day the road has been steadily coming up. This change, of course, need not de lay the extension nor put the road back in any respect. But it was safe in Van Horn's hands. We gave last week the fact that the company had given a trust deed of its lands and had secured thereby over a million dollars to con tinue the extension. TUB YET.LO IV FEVER. About the time of the outbreak of Ihe yellow fever, the ADVANCE, com menting on the filthiness and indolence of the Southern people, said that the general government ought to take the matter in hand and enforce cleanli ness atvA sanitary reform in the South. And now comes the Charleston (C. 8. C.) News and Courier and calls for a national convention to devise a p'an ••by which the occurrencs of such a pestilence hereafter would be rendered morally impossible. And it thinks that, if the power of the general government should be requisite to car ry out the plan, then Congress should take the matter in hand and pass the necessary laws." Even then, we question whether the plan could be enforced unless some Ben Butler were appointed health officer at both New Orleans and Memphis. Butler ought to be presented with all the silver spoons in Louisiana for his woik in cleaning up New Oi lean* and teach ing the people how to keep out the yellow fever. But they cursed him, called him "thief" and "beast" and spat on his soldiers for condescending to be scavengers, do their dirty work and save their indolent and compara tively useless lives. It may not bejlist the time to indulge in such reflections, when the South is stricken with pesti lence and again depending on the de tested North for relief, but we cannot lielp thinking how patient, long-suffer ing and generous the North has been toward her bloody, indolent, insolent, wayward, boyish, hot-headed brother. It is said that the Poet Longfellow pays an anuual tax of $2,230 on proper ty he owns in Chicago. He probably pays more than this on his eastern prop erty. Now, in the name of all the old notions about poets, we protest against this modern innovation. Poets and saints ought to be poor. They ought net to make money, because wasn't it the style a few centuries ago for them to keep poor and live on charity. Hei is Longfellow, Bryant, Holmes, Lowell, Tennyson, and the whole lot of them just getting rich and living like princes. Well, well, good-by to poetry and piety. This is surely "the work of the devil," to use the clerical phrase. The Review says diphtheria is de clining iii Mankato. The number of pises has been from 109 to 12 andand the deaths 10. WHO FfRBV TItB HALL. Iii conversation with a gentleman recently about the Hall fire, he inform ed us that lie wttH%the part of the taiMing' oeeupiefl by'Mrs. Dehsmdre, nnd that suddenly lie saw the floor coming it? toward- Mm. This was at the moment of the explosion and he, with others, of course, rushed out of the house. He thinks that there must have been half a keg of powder placed under the building. The force of the explosion was so great that the walls of the building were forced out nnd the ceiling over the hall up stairs fell. It is almost miraculous that no one was killed. As we have said often before, it is universally agreed that the Hall was deliberately set on (ire. It is as clear a case of arson as ever went into court. The difficulty is to ferret out the guilty party or parties. WJiueyer did it was a villain of the first water (1) because nearly all the sufferers were non-resi dents and perfectly innocent of any local squabbles or entangling local al liances (2) because it was an injury to the whole community in depriving the public of a town hall (3) because it destroyed a minister's libiary worth $1,000 which was uninsured (4) because it endangered the lives of a number of our citizens by the explosion of thesonal powder placed tinder* the building (5) becuiseit put the whole town in im minent jeopardy, for a single strong gust of wind would have fired the Stockdale building and then the town would have gone In view of all this tb.ts Grand Jury, at the coming term of Court, will fail to do its duty if it does not institute a Hgid inquiry into the question of who fired the hall. A most infamous crime has been committed in our midst, and, as we have said before, if the matter is allowed to pass without an investi gation, we deserve to have a guardian appointed over us by the common wealth. DR. WRWH'f. The M. E. Conference at Rochester, acquitted Dr. Wright on the charge of writing anonymous letters of a "libel ous, shameful and disgraceful charac ter." The letters weie received by Revs. Creightou, Bilbie and Chaffee, who united in charging Dr. Wright with being the author. The vote stood 41 against and 61 for Dr. Wright. A SENSIBLE BISHOP. The Bishop of the M. £. Church, at the recent Conference at Rochester, exhorted the ministers "to keep clear of all cliques and rings each man to be a min for himself and act in-.vant dependently." This Bishop is a man after our own heart. We extend our hand and say, "shake." If the M. E. Church were only wise enough to ap ply that rule not only as to its govern ment and polity but as to its creed, it could inciease its membeiship 50 per cent in the next year. That was ex actly Wesley's idea. Unity only in following Christ and liberty in every thing else. The foolish churches have insisted on analyzing God and announ cing his will, and then they have in their lucid intervals of ignorance, patcl.ed up a creed and have put the stamp of the Medes and Persians upon it and labeled it this can never be changed." PAY UP. The LeMars Sentinel of Thursday last says: Nearly every name on our subscrip tion books was placed their at the re quest of its owner. Now, to be plain, want our pay. We desire it tl:it» fall, before n°w year. If any one takes offense at this, we have io apology to offer. We will send no bills. We give this notice, and we expect every sub scriber, except those with who'r we have advertising accounts, to come to the office and pay up, or to remit. Weoped simply ask our own. If any one does not wish the paper, let him settle up what is due, and discontinue like a man. Here too. That's the talk. They can pay up if they will. We, however, send bills out, and to those who take offense because we have trusted them so long. we say, pay up and stop. Now is the time to pay. We editors know very well that you can pay if you choose to do so. MtSTAKB CORRECTED. Since issuing the call for Senatorial Convention Judge Perkins has receiv ed several letters in regard to the an pointment of Rock and Murray coun ties, wherein he only gave Rock 3 del egates and Murray 2, when in fact they are entitled to 4 and 3 respectively ac cording to the basis established in the call.—Windom Hepoiter. In dealing witli the community the Enterprise has kept its hide stiictly square. If any man in town has a dol lar against it the account is worth a hundred cent*, and will be paid on pre sentation.—Flandreau Enterprise. Here, too. Our motto lias been, pay as you go, and we have paid. At the same time we have ti listed others two to three years and some of them are me.in enough even then to "get up on their dignity" when we dun them. If we pursued the policy of some men of putting all we get into houses, lands, etc.. and looking to the merchant, the grocer, the printer, etc., to cairy us along meanwhile, we might spread our selves over this county like a green bay tree and be rich in a short time. The Wnrthington Journal says that between the 1st of August and the 21st of September. 53 deaths from diphthe ria have occurred in Mankato. We do not know its authority, but it is an un truth all the same. Between the 1st of July and the 26 of September, there were only 10 deaths in Mankato from dyphtheria.—Mankato Review. If the Sentinel's subscription books are any indication, the peopbe of Mar tin county are nnre sorely afflicted with hard times than they have been for five years. There aie upwards of four hundred of our subscribers who are delinquent, and who claim that they are not able to pay. Under this state of affairs the Sentinel's financial outlook is anything but encouraging.— Martin Co. Sentinel. Neighbor Day, they are able to pay you a dollar or two. The trouble with many of them is they won't divide around. They can pay part, if they will. g»»wstt«wa.*Wg»w*»)w«wwi*t»i« E E OPINION.

The Beautiful Experiences of an O ox Family. Efficacy of Paryer and Angel •:.- Visits. In your paper recently I read a short communication on the subject of Prayer, and I feel impelled to write you, giving some of our own remaika ble expeiiences during the past year, and at the same time some points of onr belief. As we (my husband and myself) are Orthodox Congregatioiialists, with an aucestiy on my own side ot clergymen for several generations back, it" will hardly be expected that we should cut the nerves of moral obligation and rest our faith on anything less than a per- Deity, holding immediate rela tions with us as earth-dwellers, mani festly created as subj-ctg ot moral ob ligation in the universe. Our heaits and souls cry oul continually with the lsalm-.st Tor the fountains of tli3 living trod. We feel that theie must be a power above us that takes cognizance of all human actions, and either quick ens or weakens the decisions of the in waul monitor and that this same pow er governs and controls throuurhoiit thrt. spiritual as well as the material world. It is to this revealed One that we must look, in all his inconceivable perfections, for whatever of truth theie is spiiitlial manifestations. When we are told, therefore, that prayer is a needless instrumentality in this woild of sin, penitence and sigh ing that the ear of the Divine One is closed to this continuous cry of human ity for the expiation of sin, the abyss ot man's guilt opens with too wide a chasm for anything but the most trag ic sentiment to bridge. This is oureffably intellectual belief, and our heart-expe rience is in accordance with it. We have unquestioning, unwavering faith in our blessed Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, as the Redeemer of the world, and in the efficacy of prayer— constant, earnest prayer to God for His sake. Every joy, every sorrow, every want, temporal or spiritual, we take to llim in preyer. Prayer is to our spirit what the pure air of heaven which v.e breath* daily is to our earth ly bodies. When we "hunger and thirst after righteousness, "after pol ity, trirh and love, by prayer, and by piayer alone, aie we filled. Do we stiength to encounter the trials and temptations of this eaith-life, we read in the Book of Books, "Trust in the Loid with all thy heart, and lean not unto thin* ownundeistanding," and we tiust and pray. Does some unexpected joy brighten our pathway, our spiiits offer a piayer of thanksgiv ing. Finally, do we earnestly desire to speak to the dear guardian angels, whom we feel assured are ever aiound us do we want their assistance or ad vice, we ask it of God in prayer, and we have ill We do not call ourselves Spiritual ists, and I presume, in view of what I h.ive wiitten above, you would notaccoid us that designation but we^ arc and have for some time been firm* believers in spiiitual manifestations of vai ions kinds, and we deem the power of con\eising with those who have gone to the spiiit-woild, and receiving comfoit and advice fiom them, one of God's best gifts to man—one of those '•good and peifeet shifts which comes from the Faihei of lights. We have for the last twpnty-five years been conveisaut with these "man ifestations." In the summer of 1852, my father (a CongregationJIlist cleigv maii, now gone to the spirit-world.) came home from Boston, greatly inter ested in what he had seen theie, and pioposeda" family circle," to which we all aceeded, and I was soon devel as a wi iting medium. I wrote a great deal then, but it was not itiiely satisfactorj to myself, and I presume not so to my fi lends. After nijrmai liage I gradually gave it up, as my husband thought the writing injm ious to mv health. But we have never doubted the constant presenc3 of our spirit friends, or their pouer to com municate with us, although this belief has been kept stiictly within our own family. About two years ago, my daughter's most intimate fiieud, a Juing lady of r.ue loveliness ot character, passed to the spiiit-woild. Site knew nothing of our belief in these matters, and felt a great shrinking and avei sion to any thing ot the kind while in earth-life. A few weeks after she had left us. while sitting together one evening convers ing on various subjects, we lieaid some peculiar raps on the table near us. Wefied soon heaid them on otber at tides of lurniltiie and in various parts of the loom, and on inquiry, found that it was our fiieud lately gone. This was our first intimation of her presence, although we all daily mourned her loss. She then gave us, by raps and the al phabet, some duectious for her moth eras to the disposition ot certain arti cles of hei s—her watch and other things. This was the beginning of a series of constant communications from her and olheis, which has continued until the present time embracing many wonder ful tests, and numbeiless messages of gieat beauty and goodness, all tending to strengthen our faith in God and in our Savior Jesus Christ. Some ot these I will try to relate. The raps began that night continued at intervals, un til they were of daily occunence at any time and in various parts ot the house. They weie source of great pleasure to us, and we felt moie than ever that the presence of our spirit friends was a reality. We had one evening some very loud nnd unpleasant raps which annoyed us, and upon inquiiing, the name of the Evil One was spelled out. We replied. the The Mankato Review contains following death notice: DIED—In this cily, of diphtheria, September 17th. James F., agedSyears. 3 months nnd 20 iys September 20th. Edward II., aged 7 years, 10 mouths and 24davs same day Small Z., aged 15 years. 3 months and 12 and on the 21st. Freddie aged 12 yeais, 0 months 20 davs—all children of Samuel and Catharine Randall. We will not have this," and my daughter and myself immediately pvay ed that God for Christ's sake would "deliver us from evil, and suffer on ly the good and pure to me to us. This prayer for only good spirits to in fluence us has been a daily one since, and it has been abundantly answered* But we have long since gone beyond raps as a means of communication. While sitting around the center-table one evening with an intimate fiieud ol the family, a singular nibbing and scratching was heaid, seemingly on the under side of the table. We asked, "Who is theie, and what is wanted?" but the rubbing continued until it be came a distinct sound of writing— ciossiug the t's and dotting the i's. Thinking of my writing in former years, I said, Do you wish to write? The answer, "Yes. came quickly in decided raps. Shall I write? I ask ed. "No, was the answer. "Shall om friend?" "No." 'J Shall my daugh ter? "calling her by name. A shower of raps gave decided "Yes." Iteluct ently she took a pencil for the Ins* time, and wiote for more than an hour rapidly and intelligibly. There was no circle, no joining of hands, and only three otheis beside my daughter pres ent. Questions were asked by the friend present in both Spanish and German, with which languages my daughter is entiiely unacquainted, and 1 mg satisfactory ausweis given in the same languages. I should say here that she mutually, of course, took the pencil in her right hand, but it was immedi ately changed, the left hand taking it from the right, and retiiining it during the entire wrjtittf. Tills we found was not our friend communicating, but an-, other whom she had brought with-lieiyi and who hits since been our constant companion here. He is a bright, joy-* ous, fun loving spirit, who left eaitli'-^ Hie i» 1848, when only fourteen years old. We have since found his friends, who resjderm-Newr Jersey, and he has given us proofs aiid tests without num ber as to his truthfulness. His name Vic is a household word with us now, and-whenever we are depressed or troubled, he comes with his merry, playful ways to'cheer us up and make us laugh, in which he always succeeds, lie says that is his mission. We have a son of fifteen, who is especially at tached to this spirit-friend, and who calls upon him daily, through his sis ters nitdiiimship for sympathy in all his spoits, frequently saying that lie likes Vic for company better than any boy he knows. His influence over him is always for good. My daughter's friend has become her guardian and controls her especially, keeping through the grace of God all evil firm her and her brother, and permitting only tiiose whom she ows to be good to come to us. Tiiis she savs God al lows her to do, it is a part of her mis sion. We have had a great number of other spirits with us fiom time to time, but all biought by her, they say —she in many instances writing for tliem, saying, It is not given them to write." Some peculiarities of our writings are that they are done at any tin e, without any preparation, frequently when we are not asking or expecting it, with no ciicle or arranged seance, and alone or with one, two, or any number present. Theie is inuipparent psychological condition supeiiuduced or otherwise brought about but my daughte' seems in a pet feet normal state, cany in. on couveitations while her hand is thus occupied on the inci dental topics discussed by those pres ent. And these wiitiugs take place even in her sleep, when pencil and pa per are placed by her, and the most beautiful sentiments tin own off with thegieatest possible lapidity. At all tunes when tbe name ot God, Jehovah, or Jesus Christ aie writte i, the hand is ariest*d, the pencil moving with great slowness, and the lingers hovel ing over it as if it were something in sacred and holy. The hand, however, is more or less abnormally affected while writing,gen erally be oming somewhat cold and damp after any considerable time. When she writes in her sleep she will give the exact time of night with no time-piece in the room or any clock that stiikes the hours in the house, and also indicate the exact moment at which she will be awakened by her at tending spiiit. But the most reinaika ble exhibition in her case is. that of a paiticular spii it who in ifoi mly \vi ites w.th the paper tinned from tile rna-ili lira, so tha' the person on the opposite side of the table can lead the- niessagt as they are penned, each sentence bi iug written backhauls an«l the last woid of each sentence and tlw last let ter of each word writren tiist.. These back-hand messages are written with gie.it legibleness and rapidity, and form continuous seutences of extreme beauty and appiopriateness of thought and sentiment. This is done while blindfolded, and with ter left hand, and it is utteily impossible for her to pel form this tea* with either hand when attempting to do so of her own accoid. Amontr other extiaoidinaiy tests, the captain of on 5 of our New Haven and New Yoik s'.eainboats lost a most .valuable pair of sleeve-buttons which he prized mo&t highly as a gift, and had vainly seaic'ied for weeks to nnd. He requested lis it our spn it-fi ieutls'' should inform im wh»re it could be found. A message wns sent him that it was not lost, b-it was wheie he put it. and his hand was involuntarily mov ed to a lnppel in his ve,t, where lie companion bntto had been thought lessly placed by him and overlooked. Our daughtci had never seen the but ton, and was ni my miles away from him. It is a common occunence in om family, when anything is lost and dil igent seaich h.is been made for it, to ask where it is. and in every instance the place is it imediately indicated where it may found. On one occas ".on the question was asked, What does 'S." stand for in the initial ot a newly-four.ed acquain tance? leferur to a peison who h.id but lecently and accidentally become inteicsted in too mediumslup ot our daughter. Instaitlj the pencil was seized and the name Saltoustall" was wiitten. Ti en followed a senes of test ansjveis of the most extraoidi "ary chai acter. such as that he had two brothers engaj ed in meicautile busi ness in China, one of whom had lecent ly loft earth-'ife that "Saltons all'' WJIS the middle name of his fat ei, who was a lineal de scendant fiom old (?ov erner Saltonst ill. of Connecticut, and who had a laip tAinily of childu-n, the number being iriven, when not one ot the facts stat »d was known to om daughter or a single peison in the loom. Othe. questioub weie asked and answeied. and all were fully ven by sub^eqnen inquiiy. Other spii its have come and written to their frier ds, giving tiie names of entire families, and suchciicumstances as the death ot one jnember in Pisa, Italy of another at a boai ding-school for young lad ies of the maniage of a third, witi. fames, dates and places— all fully verilied, even to the minutest particulars, when answeis weie received fre the pr.it vs addressed and yet these families were hondieds of miles awav. and not one of them known ore er before heaid of. Our dang liter will take her seat at the piano, blindfolded, but in a peifect normal condition, and without know ing what is beioie her will play dilhcnlt music that she has never seen. On several occasions we have l* en told that such and such things would take place before long—some times events relating to onr own family, and in sev eial instances lelatiug to fiieuds and acquaintances. These piedictions have always proved true. One eveniiisr, some wil influence calling himself "Xerxes" made seveial ineffectual efforts to communiciite, and finally succefdeel in writing, I want to write, but a girl here won't ht me (with an o-ath) her nnnv is "calling the name of onr friend. She inunediitely wrote, No. I won't let him, or any evil come here or near you." 1 fully believe that if the medium and otheis interested de iie it, all evil influences ca'.i be kept faraway, and only the puie a»ul good permitted to write, which to us seems most desirable. This has been our experience, and I believe it to be the result of prayer. To give you the hundredth part of tbe remaikribe messages that we have received through our daughter, would make this an aitiele of magazine lath er than newspaper length. We will therefore end wi'h a single other inci dent, occurrinff but lecently in a game of Casmno. The medium WJIS blind folded at the request of her spirit-fi iend, the cards weie delt into the hand of a young brother sitting opposite her. The game was played by her, she tak ing the cards singly from her brothel's hand, and winning the game. Two or tluee times the broiler exclaimed, "That was a foolish play," and yet the result showed tint it was just siich a plav of the cauls as an expert player would have made had he known the cards held by his paitner and two an tagonists. The game was counted by her by simply placing her hand on the cards, and counting the number of points contained in her hand, and mov ing her peg to indicate the same. On ly one game was played but when ask- ed to play another, this was written: It is notjUlowed, except to convince you of the reality of'our presence." As stated in the CQrittnaucement of this letter, we hay,e! always been firm believers iiuUheitruth and sacreHneM* of the. Holy Bible, in thedivinity of Jesus Christ, and in salvation through Him, and Him alone and I desire to say that so far firm having this belief cha ged or weakened in the least, it has been confirmed and Strengthened by all the communications we have re ceived, andiourrevefeiwi&ajnj love for God and our Savior Jesus Christ has never been so great^and has never ex erted so strong and purifying an influ ence over onr everyday life, as since we have been the happy recipients of these blessed messages from our angel friends.—\Y.
