Asa Mahan, President of Cleve- land University, Ohio, recently published an octavo volume of four hundred and sixty-six pages on Modern Mysteries the result of long and arduous labors, extend- ing through a number of yoars, in collecting, sifting and classifying facts, to see what was ‘alse on the subject of tis an attempt to inves- tigate the facts connected with Spiritualism and kindred subjects, in a scientific and relia- ble manner. The work was printed at Cam- bridge, Mass, and published in this country and in England in 1855 We have collected and condensed some of the most important statements in this book, for the consideration, and, perhaps, amusement of those readers If there are any relia ble facts connected with spiritualism, mes- merism and kindred subjects, it is not only proper but important for the sober minded public to know what they aré, in what light they are to be viewed, and what degree of importance should be attached to them. resident Mahan takes the two following positions as starting points: First, that many of the reported facts of spiritualism, mesmer- ism, &c., are true; but that they are inter- mingled with a grost pumber of statements, suppositions and inferences, which are not Secondly, that there is no evidence whatever, of the existence or agency of any spirits; good or bad, in these phenomena. hese positions being argued at length, and the agency of spirits being denied, a main point comes up under the following question How then are the admitted facts to be ac- counted for? Here the author affirms, ‘‘ that there is a power in nature, pervading all be- dies, previously known to philosophers, and called the Odyle force and magnetiem it has polerity, and the c quent properties of attractin, other bodies; that it is freely transmissible through electric conductors; and that the physical organism of some persons in certain jy and very strongly force.” A long array prices, and by co: I am determined to all who will give me a trial.

The case of Ange- lique Cotton of France, and others, are so well attested by scientific men that they can- not be denied. To the power thus existing between the human system and other bodies, whatever it is, President Mahan gives the name of OJylic force. The following phenomena are maintaincd by the writer to be facts 1. The odylic force developed in the humen system acts upon other objects, and is acted upon by them as a very strong attracting and repelling power, so that obj physical touch, such as chairs, tables and va rious articles of furniture, are drawn towards or driven from such persons, ities may happen to be.

Starr King, of Boston, acelebrated medium of this city being present. unknown tothe medium, had proposed four questions respecting a friend of his who had recently died, giving in his own mind true en- Swers to the two first, and false ones to the two last. The true answers were given by the medium right, and the false ones exactly as he fixed them in hisown mind. He told the medium the two last answers were false, told her what the true answers were, requested her to repeat them a great number of times, but constantly fixed his own mind strongly oa the same false answer. It was found impossible, after a great number of trials, for the medium to give any answer except the false one in the mind of the enquirer. Bigelow compelled the same medium, by his own imental purpose, to give ‘ Miserable Humbuz” as the name of the spi say tbat he lived on pork and beans. in Ham- ilton, Ohio, a questioner fixed on the devil as the name of the spirit, two years as the time since he died, and the relation of uncle to himself. The medium gave it all exactly ac- cording to bis fixed mental p From the above principles and examples, it is certain that all answersof mediums will as- cend with the mental and moral character of the circles. Spiritualism, as Professor Mahan demonstrates, consists in putting persons into & mezmeric state, in which they will simply reflect, in all their answers, our own thoughts, belief and mental purposes, true or false, good or bad.— Boston Journal.
