From the Stockton Independent, In the beginning of this week there came to Stockton Mrs. Elsie Reynolds, a professional “spirit materializing medium,” who announced that through her would appear to visitors of her seances the spirits of departed friends, whom she would materialize into flesh and bone fora time sufficient for them to talk and kiss beliew- ing relatives. Her assistant was a smooth- faced young man. The seance was attended by anumber of the faithful, who left with addi- tional conviction that Elsie was a true me- dium. Last night she gave another seance, for which she announced “startling develop- ments.” The Inde dent, which is conducted on a strictly cash and which takes little stock in anything supernatural, kindly decided to assist Mrs. Reynolds in fulfiling the letter of her announcement, and bringing about sufficiently startling developmehts to About § o'clock four of the Independent statt went to the Avon house, and were met by the smooth- faced young man of the combination, who ushered them Into the room for which a ‘circus performance was preordained. In one corner of the room was arranged a “cabinet” made by two black curtains hung to form a triangu- lar space with the wall corners. Near the cab- inet, and immediately by a door leading into another room, was a table,on which stood a lighted lamp, giving the only light in the room. At this table sat Mrs. Reynolds, a giddy girl of whout45 years, wrinkled, homely, and evi- dently suffering from wear and tear by the spir- ts. When the first two newspaper representa- ives entered thelr hats were taken into the other room and a close cirele was formed of the first comers, the new arrivals being given back s y would be, presumably, una- ch the cabinet for Interference with ts, When the other two Inclependent visitors came they took back seats. Ben Arm- ington, of the Mail, was the last admitted. Mrs. Reynolds sighed heavily and remarked: ‘ometinies I have circles composed entirely of ladies, sometimes entirely of gentlemen, but then the manifestations are not so good, be- cause there is too much positive force.” How will they be to-night?” asked Hudson. “I think they will be good,” and Mr. nolds then ordered Harry, the smooth- young man, to open the éabinet. Harry said the performance would begin with collections, and he passed the hat for $1 head, whic aid. The cabinet curtains were drawn nd skeptics were invited to inspect the apartment, One visitor examined the curtains, tapped the floor and found noth'ng but what showed on the surface. Harry then locked the and doors darkened the room by placing a large paper funnel over the lamp, which was turned low to burn dimly. ty und the medium began singing. “In the Sweet By and By,” the visitors being requested to join. “Just as the song was tinisaed M nolds sai into the this time members the spi | al directly net curtains. earer, my God, to Thee, then sung, and the spirits drew Elsie and her chair into the cabinet. Soon afterward the eur- tains were parted, and a white figure app but only fora moment. The medium thens “little Effu” was there, and immediately came the words. ina child girl's voice, “Dood even- ing. Tam here again.” Mrs. Reynolds had with her a large tin horn, through Which she talked in a gruif voice, re- sembling that of a large-lunged man. Who is with you,” she asked of Effie. “Susie. She would'nt tell me her other name last night, but now she says it is Organ. She Says her first name was Evans.”” “That's right,” said Dr. A. T. Hudson, The curtains parted, and a white-robed figure took one step from the cabinet. “What is vonr name?” asked a visitor. “Lily. Lily Roberts.” ‘The figure ‘stepped back, and Mrs. Reynolds sang, in a harsh voice, through the horn, a sailor's song. “I tan sing better'n that,” said Effie, and on request she came to the front of the ‘cabinet, appearing about two feet in height, and sang in a childish voice. Two “spirits” were then shown together. First came one, a young woman, who said her name was Sarah Dodge. The good-lookin; lady who was among the spectators recognize: herasa sister. The spirit came forward, shook hands with the live sister, and then embraced and kissed, the deluded sister being much tated. The spirit went back, and again the cu tain was raised, showing two spirit forms, Sa- rah anda dead sister. ‘The live sister became very nervous, and asked fora message. “Sarah” said their father was Jonathan Dodge. “Tell him Sarah wishes to see him very soon.” The medium announced: “There is in the band an Indian girl who comes out and puts lace under the chairs of medium persons, and alace girl who picks up the lace. The Indian cirl is not seen placing the lace. The lace girl has not been with us for some time, but she is coming.” The curtains were parted, and be- hind the guarding table was seen another “spirit,” that of the lace girl, who said: pme~ body's got my lace. Somebody's got my lace.” The figure, which, like all the others, was robed in white, advanced from the side of the table to the middle of the floor, The Dodge sister asked if she would shake hands, “No,” said the lace girl: “I can’t.” “Oh, yes,” suggested Dr, A. T. Hudson, “No one will harm y pirit” came forward another Reassured, the step and stood before the Dodge lady. «Will youshake hands with me now?” the lady asked. At thisimportant moment an Independent man was seized with an irresistible desire to embrace the lace girl. With azility, stimulated by a bad spirit kept for private seahces in the | oifice, he leaped over the shoulders of Drs. 4 ‘T. Hudson and L. F. Cross, and gained the mid- die of the floor, between the circle and the cabi- net. ‘The lace zirl attempted to regiin the cabi- net, but was caught in the strong grasp of the Independent spirit.

In despair of overtaking Chicago, a Cincinnati Enquirer man invents a new complaint against her, and writes thus: A day’s sojourn in this city by a virtuous and unsophisticated denizen of Cincinnati reveals many strange features of the peculiarities of the human race as represented by the people of Chicago. It would Probably be unkind to say that the people of Chicago are all cranks, be- cause their peculiarities may be caused by fomething else, But they are a mighty queer lot. If you go intoa restaurant and ask for a meal ora lunch the waiter will ask you if you ‘want it on the fly, ‘On the fly?’ ‘you repeat. “What do you mean by that?” “Will you sit down and eat, or do you wish to have your order served while you are proceed- ing at a rapid gait through the streets?” “Great God, man, do you serve meals to peo- ple in that fashion here?” “Certainly, sir, If you are in a hurry to turn atrick you need not lose a moment In taking your lunch.

As regards the result of such teaching of Eng- lish as is given in some of our best schools and academies, I may be pardoned for referring to my own observation, Since 1873, when Har- vard college for the first time held an examina- tion in English, I have read from 4,000 to 5,000 compositions written in the examination room upon subjects drawn from books which the can- didates were required to read before presenting themselves. Of these not more than a hundred —to make a gencrous estimate—were credit- able to either writer or teacher, This year I did not read the books, but one who did makes this report: “Few were remarkably good, few extraordinarily bad; a tedious mediocrity | vas every where.” It is this tedious mediocrity | which has amazed me year after year. Tn | spelling, punctuation And grammar some of the books ave a little worse than the mass, and some a great deal better; but in other respects there is a dead level, unvaried by a fresh thought or an individual éxpression, “Almost all the writers use the commonplace yocabulary —a very small one—in th “ame confused w One year, after reading two or three hundred compositions on “The Story of the Tempest,” L found myself in such profound ignorance of both plot and characters that I had to read the play to set myselt right again. ‘The authors of these discouraging manuscripts were, almost all of them, “Just at the age 'twixt boy and youth, ‘When thought ts speech, and speech is truth.” They may be justly regarded as the picked youth of the country, many of them coming irom the best families in point of culture and breeding, and from the best schools we have. ‘They were all boys with blood in. their veins aud braips in their heads, and tongues that < fast enouzh and to the purpose when hey felt at ease. Many of them had enjoyed “Tlie Tempest”—as who that can understand ji does not?—but somehow the touch of pen or pencil paralyzed their powers. If the dreary compositions written by the great majority of cundidates for admission to colleze were ‘cor rect In spelling, intelligent in punctuation, and unexceptianable in grammar there would be some compensation; but this is so far from being | the case that the’ instructors of English tn | American collegas have to spend much of their time and strength in teaching the ABC of their mother tongue to young men of twenty work disagreeable in Itselfand often barren of result, Every year Harvard graduates a cer- tain humber of men—some of them high Scholars — whose munuscript would disgrace a boy of twelve, and yet the — col lege cannot be blamed, for She can hardly be expected to conduct ‘an infant school for adults. Is there any remedy for this state of things? I venture to say thai there is, but it is one that demands persistent and long-continued Work aud hearty co-operation on the part of all who have to do'with the use of English in the schools tn any form and for any purpose. It re- quires Intelligent supervision at one time, Iu- telligent want of supervision at another tine and watchful attention constantly. It requires a quick sense of individual needs and ready wit to provide for them as they arise.

Journal, May 30, The twentieth annual report of the National Temperance society presents a summary of the anti-dram-shop legislation in the several states during the past year, which shows that the mareh of public sentiment against the gr shop, though weakened by various temporary | causes the past six months, yet moves stead- fastly onward. The fiye states which haye gen- eral prohibitory laws, viz., Maine, New Hamp- shire, Vermont, Iowa and Kansas have added important additional penalties, The state of Maine has adopted by a popular vote of three to one a prohibitory constitutional amendment. The legislatures of Rhode Island, Tennessee and Oregon passed either finally or ‘through the preliminary stazes resolutions submitting pro- hibitory constitutional amendments to the peo- ple. Similar resolutions werg considéred aud defeated by only small majorities in Missou Michigan, Texas, West Virginia and New Je sey. Main Ak bama, Tilinois. Wisconsin, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, Oregon and Nevada passed laws making it imperative to Instruct pupils in pub- lic schools as to the effvet of alcoholic stimu- lants upon the human system. ‘The Massachusetts legisiature passed a bill to secure the better entorcement of the restrictive features of the laws in cities which vote for license. The New Jerseyslezisiature increased the license fee, but Goy. Abbett vetoed the bill. ‘The Georgia lezislature discussed a local option Jaw, which proposed to allow all the counties in the state to decide whether they would prohibit or license dram shops, which will soon puss, In ie, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, the meantime 104 of the 150 counties of Geor- gia within a few years adopted prohibition Under special enabling acts, ‘The legislatures of Alabama, Mississipy S passed acts to enable several counties to prohibit dram shops within [their borders by a popular vote. The Oregon legislature passed a local option law, The Ohio legislature attempted to submit a license amendment to the people, but it was lost in the house—60 to 37—not the necessary two-thirds. The Ohio legislature repealed the local option law one year ago. Not asingle retrowrade step has been taken in any state in legislation on the subject the past year, though in several states desperate efforts Were made by the liquor interest. At present five states have general laws pro- hibiting dram shops and twenty have local op- tion laws permitting the legal voters of the municipalities or counties to” vote on the ques- tion of prohibition or license of the dram shop or anthorizing particular counties to do this, By united efforts of the friends of prohibition of all parties, all of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, fowa and Kansas, three-iourths of puma, nearly half of ‘yland and Mississippi, considerable por- tions of Louisiana, South Carolina, Tennessee and Arkansas, half of the area of Missour twelve counties of [ilinois, half of Massach setts, and many towns in New York, Connecti- t, Rhode Is th Carolina,” Michisa and many other’ states have prohibited the dram shop. ‘The agitation of general prohib- itory laws is going on in most of thestates of the Union. ————-cee______ Sam Patch’s Last Leap. A correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, who deseribes himself as an eye-witness of Sam Pateh’s last two jumps, writes as follows: “Sam Patch, the famous cataract leaper, who asserted that ‘some things could be done as well as others,’ took his ‘Final, eternal and life's fatal leap,’ as a local poet expressed it at the time, on a gloomy day in November, in the year 1829. He had ‘jumped’ the Genesee Falls at Rochester, their natural height, one week before, and was induced by the gamblers and roughs who were grooming and managing and living off him to repeat the feat on the fatal occasion. ‘They erected a sort of seaffold on the jutting rock whence he had taken his departure on the previous occasion, making it 25 feetabove the rock, or 120 feet in all from the scaffold floor to the surface of the river at the foot of uh falls. Ascending to the scaifold with some aiih- culty, considerably inebriated, and by a steep ladder, the unfortunate demonstrator straight- ened up with a jerk, bowed awkwardly on all sides to the witnessing thousands, then pushed a pet bear off he had with him, and instantly leaped forward himself, His person ‘canted over’ on the left side, and strack the water for- cibly, no doubt bruising him and forcing the breath from his body, Nothing more was seen of him till the next March, when his corpse was discovered among some bushes at the mouth of the river, seven miles below, very much muti- lated, but recognizable by a handkerchief tied around the body. Patch, beginning on the schooner yard-yarms at Paterson, N.J., was a special led 20 years or more, jumped from amazing heights at. Niagara thrice belore he tried the Genesee rapids, and challenged the inspection of admiring thousands to the realities ofhis feats. Ifyet living he would be about 90 years of ae, but who knows if he had not tackled John’ Aleohol, his bear, and a great leap at one and the same time he might notbe jump- ing yet?” ———+e+___ Brother Cleveland Warned. From the St. Louis Globe Democrat. Carter Harrison, the indomitable mayor of Chicago, wrote his name and that of his wife in the register of the Southern yesterday, “I am on my way to Hot Springs,” said he last even- ing, “not for the purpose of taking my wife there, as-reported, but to see {f Ican’t cure these hands of mine.” The invincible held out his two hands a moment, and, looking at the broken flesh thereon, sald: “My hands are sore, I don’t know what's ‘the matter with them.” “How was it you were not elected Senator from Ilinols.” “Because they elected a republican in the thirty-fourth district.” ane do you put the blame of Weaver's elec- jon on?” “Bverybody knows where the blame rests.” “How does Cleveland strike you from’ a Chicago point of view.” “He hasn’t done enough yet. He has, how- ever, recognized one branch of the party there.

ANCIENT RECORDS OF FAIRFAX—THE FATHER ta COUNTRY PRESENTED BY THE GRAND ‘From the New York Sun. FarrFax Courtuovse, Va., May 29.—The courthouse structure here was built at the be- ginning of the century, while the jail was fin- ished only last summer. A few weeks ago I was told by the sheriff that bnt one person had been locked up in its comfortable cells since the Jail was completed, and he had remained only fora few hours. This speaks well for the pres- ent state of morals in Fairfax county. Some people attribute it to the fact that no liquor is sold in the township wherein the courthouse is situated. The ancient records of court proceed- Ings inthe county, which I have taken great interest in overhauling, show that innocence and temperance did not always prevail here; and they contain many curious entries, written out in aspleadid round hand, with ink that is as black after 130 years as if spread on the page last week or yesterd: Among other matters coming under the juris- diction of the gentlemen justices, who presided over the county court ‘was the schedule of charges to be made by innkeepers. Here are some of the rates that were established on March 20, 1755: Shillings, Pence, A gallon of rum, 3 = A gallon of Virz Otherwise nothing. Tt would be well if the condition in the last item of the schedule could be enforced no: days in country taverns, On Nov. 21, 1704, the grand jury presented John Cockrell, of Truro parish, “for not attending his parish ¢hureh within vo months last past, w tbe knowledze of two of us.” James Robertson, of Truro, was presented “for marrying the reported granddauzhter of his former wile to the knowl- edge of two of us.” “Then this remarkable en- try is found, We present the surveyor of the road from Aceotink to Dogue Runon the back road for times, an’ then he got as mad as Satan an’ | went furme.

Effcet of Fright on the Mind. REMARKABLE ACTIONS OF THE CROWD DURING THE EARTHQUAKE AT ISCHIA. From the New York Sun, An interesting account of the mental states induced by fright was given some time since by Dr. Fazio, who was an eye-witness of the great earthquake at Ischia. He says the emotions corr Whether the charge was true or 0 varied character. During the fifteen seconds that the shock continued everybody stood still, seemingly rooted to the ground with terror. Men were weak in the knees and shook as with ague, feeling as though they were about to fall, Soon this stillness was broken by loud cries and howls, and every one rushed toward the shore. Then women and children fell into convulsions orappeared to be semi-paralyzed and specch- less. Rudeness and brutality were mingled with self-suerifice and heroisin of the most ex- alted cha Six hours after the c: death reigned over Casy Men wan- dered about the ruins halt clad and silent, as if risen from the grave; women were excited and hysterieal; children of eizht or ten years seemed dazed and stupetied, while smaller children stood around unconcernediy, eating whatever attractive food they could find in the ruins. It was most interesting to see the different ways in which Judividuals were affected by the shock. ‘The keeper of a refreshment, booth, who had lost everything, kept offering his delicacies to those who passed by, Just as though his whole ‘ock had not been swept away in the debris caused by the earthquake, A surgeon, with blood and sorely wounded by the failing be: rhed only for his instru ments, and inquired after them of everybody whom’ he encountered. Who had been bedridden for months, jumped up and saved herself by flight, and remained permanently cured. A very considerable num: ber of instances of this kind are well authentl. cated, and the reports seem to show that diseases not generally classed as nervous, and, atall events, not wholly nervous in character, often disappear under influences of a strong emotional character. Many persons at Ischia, who were brave and full of enersy immediately alter the first shock of the earthquake, became depressed, or wholly apathetic, later In'the day, or had convulsions, or alternate fits of laughter and crying. Sometimes an attack of melan- cholia” was induced which continued for months, and muny people became ineurably in- sane. These were, perhaps, persons having the insane temperament, though the actual mani- festation of it might hever have taken place e: cept under the influence of great nervous shock. In many instances there was an aversion for food, lasting for hours ater the catastrophe. There were several instances In which the hair was whitened by fright, and even some boys of 10 to 14 years Showed ‘heads sprinkled with gray. Many of the unfortunates who were buried in the ruins exhibited the greatest indifference to their tate, following listlessiy with their eyes the motions of those busied with their reseue. Those whose occupations had led them to acquire a habit of coolness in danger seemed to retain their imperturbabilit A foreign ollicer, whose legs were imprisone under some heavy timbers, drew out a cigar- elie and smoked “it with the utmost nonel: lance. One man, as soon as he was pull from the ruins, shook his rescuer by the and presented’ him with his card. Another, who lay in the debris tor twenty hours, imme: diately looked at his watch in order to ascer- tain the exact moment ot his deliveranee. A lady who had just beem extricated from a mass of rubbish would not budge from the spot until she could ascertain the fate of her pet dog, which was buried with her. Qne woman, who was nearly covered up inthe debris, heard a man calling loudly for his daughter.’ She at- tracted his attention to her, and suceeeded in making him believe that she’was his lost child. So cunningly did she practise this deception that the old gentleman had reseued her from the ruins before the trick was discovered. Most of the people, however, who were im- prisoned beneath the ruins were too indifferent tw their fate to. ma yattempt to get free through stratagen is 2 curious fact that most of them had’ become regardless of the flight of time, and had not the faintest idea as to how long they had remained buried. In very miny cases those who had been wounded by falling buildings were obliged to undergo severe surgical operations, Most of them experienced no “pain while under the knife, though they were manifestly in a condition of excessive Sensibility to most of the impressions of ordin- ary life, see Yankee Notions in London. The favorite features of the World’s Exposi- tion of inventions in London has proved to be the American machines for making watches and for ironing collars and cuffs. Both are novelties in England, and are inscrutabie and fascinating mysteries to the visitors. The at- tractive young women who preside over the sublimized washtubs and froning-boards of the American laundry company have swams of admirers, and crowds surround the watch- making machinery from morning until night. ;Among the crowds are many Eritish watch- makers, who scrutinize the complex and dainty processes with spellbound interest, and return to their posts day after day trying to penetrate the secrets of the seemingly huinan intelligence of the glittering little machincs, soe Why Me Clellan was for the Union. General George B.
