Dr. blade, who la now creating to much interest with

was not a one dollar man, but a high toned fivo dollar
Spiritualist. No matter at what hour in the day or
evening a searcher alter the supernatural might
chance to Ttslt hit houso lu forty-third street be
would find persona waiting lor interviews with the
??Doctor.''
A short time previous to tho medium's departure
lor Kurope a Hkkild reporter visited the Doctor for
the purpose of testing or examining the work of
the spirits upon Ills slate. It was on a Sunday
tftcrnoun, and there wcro quite a number of
peoplo In the ante room who wero discussing tho
wonderful things thoy ha i seen at the Slado
trances. A Konticui .u, supposed to be secre
tary to the medium, met the reporter. He stated
that Mr. Slade was sick and greatly exhausted.
It was doubt'.ul If ho could command the spirits under
such circumstances. He would sou, however?per
haps the Doctor might be able to give a lew m.uuteu.
This, it appears, was the regular plan adopted. Slmle
was never In health, and his exhibitions were given as
favors, under the most unfavorable conditions When
the reporter wus ushered Into the abode of the spirits
Dr. Slado welcomed him, but stated that bo had been
up all night with a sick child, and was very Hi trom
nervous exhaustion. Subsequent Inquiry proved that
he had told this same story to all visitors tor mouths
at a time. The room in which the seance was to he
given was quite light, having three windows in it. In
the centre of the room was a square, painted table,
sod near to it four chairs, with stuffed seats and bucks.
He requested the reporter to place h:s hands in tho
:entro of tho table and Join those of the Doctor.
Thie betug done, the medium begin to draw
bis breufh quickly between bis clo-ed teeth,
and he oxclaimed, "Ob: ob, dear; ah!" On
being asked what was the matter he said:?
"The magnetic infiuenco was so strong, and that, hav
ing constant communication with the spirits, affected
his nerves." There was ne doubt ofh s being nervous
and unxious, for bo seemed to fear that some unfavor
able report would be madeol bis proceedings.
Knocks upon tho table were produced and several
questions wore propounded, but "the conditions were
bad" and no satisfactory answers were obtained.
an erratic chair.
Suddenly the Doctor's contortions becarao disagree
able to witness, urd during one Tory severe strain upon
his nerves a chair which had stood near unto the
table ran across the room. "There, soe that," said
the medium.
"Is that a common occurrenco?" said the reporter.
"Oh, yes," replied the medium. "At times the
spirits are very unruly. They will knock upon this
table apparently with hammers, and turu over all the
lurnituro In the room." Tbo movement made by the
Doctor when this chair ran away led tho reporter to
believe that he gave It a sly kick.
TUK SLATS.
Tbe medium then produced s small slate, about
light by Ove Inches. He said he did not know whether
tbe spirits would write upon It. Sometimes they would,
and at others thoy reiused to pencil a line, lie broke
a small pteco of slate pencil and laid it upou the
Slate. He placed the .-late a little wuy uuder the tahto
with one baud and kept his other hand upon the table
holding his visitor's. The latter's bauds, being con
tinually required lu this position in order to produce
magnetism sulllcieut to ruu the spiritual machine, pre
vented any careful examination ot what was being
tone beneath the lablo. The minute the slate was
ocucath the mahogany a scratching sound was board,
and ill it lew second* the Doctor put tho slate on the
table and said, "Have they written any thing V" They
bad, and 'twas this: ?1"Investigate and you shall learn
much. ' There was one peculiarity about this writing.
The small piece ol pencil, not much larger than a pin's
bond, had u tine point to it. and tho pencil point re
mained at the cud ol' the line or cross ol the t In "in
rssngaie." as though tbe spirit hud crossed tbe t lust
ind left the piece ol pencil exactly at the end ot tbe
line mndo last.
He exhibited both sides ol the slate before putting it
sut of eight each time preceding a message. When
die slate was benoalh ihe table Ibore was an expres
sion upon the medium's face as though he was en
gaged in doing something requiring thought and atten
tion, and ho rarely spoke while the spirit! were
tround. On being asked whether the spirits ever
wrote upon ihe slate wDeu not uuder tbo table, tho
Doctor replied, "Ob, yea. It wax only yesterday
'when the conditions happened to be very lavorable)
thai the pencil did ita work in lull view of everybody."
He related what woinlerlul things had been done in
the times past, but the day ol this reportorlal investi
gation happened to be an unusually bad day lor spir
itual attendance.
While talking in this way a small n:>nd bell came
out from under the table, went up lu the ceiling and
tell upou lite floor.
"There," said Mr. Slade, "they seem to be desirous
Of cutting up. Sometimes they are very playl'al."
"Did you leel any thing touch you ?"
Tbe reporter did leol something shake tbo bottom of
his pantaloons legs, but he resolved to lull a story, uud
?aid. "No," at which the Doctor looked very much dis
appointed, for he evidently endeavored to produce this
etlecL
Ooo more message in answer to some question was
produced upon the slaio uuder the same condition* as
the preceding ones A strong desire to look uuder the
table possessed the visitor, but, unlike Dr. I.ankestcr,
ol London, lie refrained from using any unpleasant
measures to decide the medium's honesty and power.
Besides, any attempt to eulorce conditions drove the
spirits away.
THK ACOOKDFOX.
Dr. Sludo had an accoraeou?a very old rattle-trap
aflair, with half the notes gone. Ho held the hollows
valvo ol the instrument in one band and placed inn
keyboard beneath the table. Tbe spirits imme
diately grasped the other end and violently opened
and closed the bellows, at tbo same time a sound ol
running the keynotes was heard. As lu the esse ol tbe
slate tbe requirement necessitating tho roporter keep
ing bis band In tbe middle ol tho square table pre
vented any examination beneatn It. Any movement
' of the hand destroyed the magnetic communication
and tbe work ol the spirits ceased. Alur several
musical exhibitions a spirit gave the instrument a
blow which knocked it out ol trie medium'# liaud and
broko the keyboard. Dr. Made remarked that the
spirit was very pluyiul. It would be difllcull io ac

machinery nor springs about the Instrument, aud the
medium had but uuu hand to use lu Ita manipulation.
It is not reasonable to suppose the medium Could
manipulate the keys ol tho accord, on with his leel,
particularly as he bad boots ou. The most ridiculous
portion ol the exhibition, pcriittps, waa the conclusion,
when, without nny picmouitiou, the Doctor became

RAILWAY HONOR.
There was also a good demand lor Oral class railway

I due to the fact that tbc grosa earntugs of a majority of

BASE BALL.
Owing to two rsasons?first, that our ball playera
bare obtained therein ao high a degree ot perfection,
and second, tbst our people, of all classes of society,
so heartily enjoy a hotly contested game, It is justly
called the American game. Each season, lor a number
of yenrs past, national associations bavo been formed
by loading clubs throughout tho whole country, for
the purpose of playing with each oilier for the chuin
pinmmip. This centennial year has not been an excep
tion. A national league was formed for It, but Its
rules restricted membership to a Biogle club from any
one city. This system of exclusivcness was not one
which could well popularize tba organization, so Its
movsments weru critically watched. VVbcnovor, there
lore. anything out of the usual coarse was teen In a
league fame the cry arose that members thereoi wore
throwing away or trying to lose the game. Wbolher
tho chargo was or was not well founded Is not a
matter to be herein considered. The lesguo com
mitted several crave errors of Judgment, which
will he notloed?but outsiders can exprnsa an oplhion
thereon without charging upon tho playera that they
have boon designedly corrupt. It was a mistake to
exclude from the leaguo any good club which might
desire to Join. That thoro wore good cluha among
those rejected Is proven by tho fact that every ono of
the league clubs, at some period or other during last
summer or autumu, whs beaten by a non-league club.
It was an error to charge half a duller lor admission
to each visiter who wished te witness a game, as the
meagro financial results attest?Iwcause, lor nothing,
about as Interesting games could be seen, nearly every
fair ulternoon, at Prospect Park, llrooclyn, and In open
inn i ?...? ...?, ..........,?.... ...
lipids near every other city and large village In which
good elnbt are to be lound. Tho folly vf charging mure
than twenty-live cents to see a game became apparent
to the general comprehension before the season
closed. As, however, only experience teaches those
who will not listen to wholesome advice, there la no
likelihood of the league, if It survives, or any club of
wtneh It was formed, cvor again charging Ufty cents aa
the gate fee.
THK NKW MOrSMKNT.
Latterly a number of drat class base ball clubs,which
were ruled out of the league last season, have con
cluded io organize a National Association, with well
matured and complete rules, for the cpssod of 1ST7.
This Is not to be a elose corporation. Any clnb of good
players w ill be allowed to Join upon the same terms
with each other club From this new movement
good results may be expected. Having seen
tbo orrora ol the leajflio. these men can guard
against thoir repetition. It Is an enterprise
which will bo patroni/ed by the people everywhere,
who expressed corauch dlssstislact'on with the bug no
during the season of 1870 as to refuse to encourage
thorn by witnessing their contests If the new organ
ization shall tie properly conducted? and II la but lair
to presume that It will be until. If ever, the contrary
appears?and shall Justly es<:a|>? charges nl crooked
piuymg, their advent Into the arena will be gladly wel
comed. II, however, they elisll become indifferent lo
talr criticism ami adopt the "don't rare" manner of
playing, defying popular opinion by aronsing the indig
nation of the admirers ot a square game, then 1877 will
witness the funeral of tho popularity of the game of
hate ball In this conntry. Kor the sake of their own
reputations, anil for the credit of the gams they pro.
less to love the m?n who are about engaging in the
now movement should flrmiy delermlno and rigidly
prevent everything unfair from entering Into any of
their games. Helieviug their motives to be good,
their promises sincere and their desire to obtain end
enforce good rules io be genuine, they are, ami will
continue to be, encouraged to persevere by good men
in all parts of the country, who desirei nbovo all
things, upright conduct upon the ball Odd and an
honest game.

Seeing the above beading In tho Hijlald of tba 27th 1

seve n couts per copy lor the Hkralo every day for
the week 1 waa there. Of course I would not nave
been without It had ho charged me leu Instead ..f
seven; but I thought it a great Itupoalltoa. Judging
Irom the immense number of people passing th# tu n,,!
every dty on their wav to the Kznlbitlon buildings I
made a calculation that at least front 8 OtK) tu i 000
copies of the Hkrald were sold dally at tbi'a at nd, 'and
