Some time elapsed after the arrival of the hour for the exercises to open, and oniy an array of empty chairs being vistbie on the stage the ghost of some man or woman would have been an ac- ceptable apparition. At length raps were heard, slight, ‘| scattered and foeble at first, and then louder and clearer, Tue raps proved to have no connection with spiritaal manifestations, but simply a mode adopted by many of manifesting umpatience at the lack of promptness in carrying out the printed pro- gramme of the evening, for seeing which they had paid twenty-five cents at the door. At length some tangible shadows revealed themscives in the rear of the stage. These shadows advanced, grew larger and more palpable to the view. They proved to be the spiritualistio moguls of our age and country, aud took their seats in the hitherto unoccupied chairs. More prominent among these moguls were A. J. Davis and his wife Mary, Mr. Warren Chase and doctors withont end or de- grees or pationts. The cause of waiting was soon explained. Mr. P. E. Farnsworth made the explanation, The music had not arrived. They had determined to wait no longer, the these duties Dell * “they” meaning those who had just come on to the stage, ‘ihey, meaning the saine “they,” had been disappointed in the non-«ppearance of Judge Edmonds, who had promised to preside at the meeting. They, meaning the same “they,” had chosen bun to preside. They had come together to celebrate the arrival at ma- jority of a child born just twenty-one years this evening. (Appiause.)

He was received by Mr. Smythe, Assistant Collector Clinch and the deputies and a large number of the clerks of the va- rious departments of the establishment, and was, of course, welcomed very cordially. Mr. Smythe, in addressing Mr. Grinnell, gracefully welcomed him in a few complimentary remarks and pleasant words. He said that he lett this oflice with mingled feelings of pleasure and regret. He would be giad to escape from the annoyances which had beset him; but, at the same time, he would re- grat severing his pleasant asdoclations with his de- patie, who had done so much to aid Lim m the per- formance of his duties, oe Mr. Grinnell expressed his the position #0 gracefuily from Mr. Smythe, He that the severe censures Which had been cast upon of which he believed unjust) would warn him to Keep clear of any act that might bi down upon him adverse criticism.

Dr. McCosh, President et Princes . _A lecture was delivered last nigut at the Second Presbyterian church, corner of Fulton and Clinton streets, Brooklyn, by Rey. Jaines McCosh, D. D.,* President of Princeton College, There was a large audience present. ‘The speaker was introduced by Rev. it. Dewitt Talmage, of the Central Presbyterian church. Dr. McCosh said tliat his lecture would be on “Association of Ideas and its Lessons iu Training the Mind.” He said that our experience gave rise to the impression very generally held that our ideas come and go at random, subject to no law; but, in fact, they are as much subject to law as any of tho seemingly. working agenis of the physical world. First, there is the law of repetition. Our thoughts follow each other according to the law of repetition. For instance, when a child learns the lines commencing ‘John Glipm was a citizen of credit and renown,” he repeats them until the rst words suggest the others, ‘Thus in other things often associated toyetier one is apt to recall another, S50 places become associated wiil what has been experienced in them, A womiun in passing a certain place may be reminded of lier boy with whom she parted there as he went to seek hia foruune in some distant city. It is by tia law that is to be furnished an explanation of character, The speaker said e@ kuew a boy who m= early lite got frightened at a dog, and was ever after afruid of dogs. It ig this law that gives power to habit, Habit gives facility ta doing that which we have often periormed. At lirst work can only be done by effort, bat after repeated repetitions 1 is done of itself. ‘I'he next law in the association of ideas is that Of co-existence. Things that baye been in the mind at the same time recall each other. This law is so like the other both might be expressed by ong name. Not more than four or five objecta can be taken into the mind at a time, hen any one of four. or five objects associated together come up the others will follow. In order to take full advantage of this iaw kaowledge is nocessary— Knowledge gained by travelling, by reading aud by experience, It is by tuking advantage of this law that various artiticial aids to memory Rave been de- vised. By fur the most useful aid to memory Is that which comes from @ proper arraugement of time.
