TWO JtDITIOJfH

Of this Paper are published. The FIRST EDITION, on Friday Evening,

and others living ouUlde of the city. The SECOND EDITION, on Saturday Evening, goes into the hands of nearly every reading person in the city. Every Week's Issue is, in fact,

TWO NEWSPAPERS,

In which all Advertisement* appear for ONE CHAROEj^^^^— THE LOGIC OF SPIRITUALISM.

The belief that the spirits of those who have died may, and in some instances do return to earth, and communicate with those still living here, is one that is making demands for consideration at the present time. The subject itself, as well as the fact that many earnest and honest men and women accept this belief, forbids that the attempt be made to sneer it down. It is a serious matter, aud one of Interest to all, whether the departed are, or may be in communication with the living. The assent which has been given by many, or at least, by some of more than ordinary intelligence, to the evidence sustaining this belief, entitles it to respectful consideration. It has long seemed to us that the greater part of the evidence presented, and that to which appeal is oflenest made, and which to many minds seems the most convincing, is no evidence at all. We are treated to a series of very strange phenomena. When this thing first appeared in Terre Haute a good many years since, it was found that certain persons had the power of tipping tables by a light touch. There are persons in this city now, not Spiritualists, who will tell of exercising or witnessing in others the exercise, of a strange power to lead heavy tables up and down stairs with the finger barely resting upon them. After a time the table tippings and the dancing of furniture generally, sometimes with heavy bodies upon them, ceased to be the chief attraction of the seance. Then later we had the playing upon musical instruments by unseen hands, though it must be remembered that in a number of instances the hands were unseen not necessarily because they were spiritual, but because the performance was In the dark. But we will admit in this article, for argument sake, that all the ••manifestations" were genuine, and will not urge the fact that in a large number of cases they have been proved to be frauds. Musical instruments wore played upon, and went flying about the room, sometimes just grazing the heads of members of the "circle." Wind was also produced, and strange voices were heard which it was claimed came from certain spirits present. Then came the cabinet performances of various kinds, the untying of hard knots, playing upon musical Instruments and now comes the production of faces at a window. It is evon said, and upon what seems to be good authority, that one of these mediums In England floated out of the window of one room and in at another. Here we have an array of very strange occurrances, and there is very little doubt that, with all the fraud there has been many of, the most wonderful of these occurrences that have not been deceptions. That which was claimed has been done. Now the Spiritualist turns upon the skeptic and asks triumphantly, as if it settled the whole matter, "How do you account for these things?*' And because we cannot account for them they deem us obstinate bigots for not at once becoming Spiritualists. The argument putin the form of a sylogism is this

The man, A., floats out of ono window and In at another. You cannot tell by what agency it was done.

Therefore it was by the agency of spirits. appear at a hole in a box. ,.u cannot tell how they are made to appear.

Thtrefore they are the faoes of spirits. The whole argument is, that because these strange occurrences cannot br, or have not b.vn accounted for iu any other way that therefore they aw spiritual manifestations. Or putting it in brief it Is this, if it Is not spirits, what is It? Therefore It Is spirits. This kind of argument is hardly satisfactory to an intelligent mind. Spiritual agency, in the sense in which the term i5 used here, is but one of a thousand others, any one of which may quite as reasonably be assigned as the cause of these phenomena. Simply because strange, uuaceounUble things are done, we are not forced to accept any theory which may be set up, which we cannot disprove. "If it is not what is it, therefore it is," is not tonnd reasoning, 8o, no m*tter bow strange may be the performances of the seance room, they do not prove the validity of the claim ofSpirltutHMtt. Yet If you strip Spiritualism of all the power which it has gained from these singular maniHeeUtions yon tike away a very large part of the proof upon which it relies.

The purpose of this article is "imply to point out the lack of logic in the arguments drawn from theee peculiar manifestations. We do not believe that all of these manifestations are deceptions. Some of them we know have been, many of them we believe have

not been. Bnt we have seen performances Just as strange as any of these for which we could not acoount. If the performer, instead of admitting that be was deceiving oar senses, had claimed that he was aidsd by spirits we oonld not have proved to the contrary. All strange things however are not the results of the direct agency of spirits, and therefore we have a reaaonable donbt in*this ease. We freely admit that this does not prove that these manifestatlona are not spiritual. Our point is that onr laek of ability to account for the facta in any given case does not prove the existence of spiritual sgency.

The only proof of any weight in this maUer, is in the nature of the communications received. If the communications are of suoh a nature as could only come from a certain spirit then there is evidence that that spirit has mcde the communication. But this is a very difficult thing to prove satisfac torily. The mind and its operations are too little understood to make us very oertain in this matter. It would seem that there is a power possessed by

Berne

minds of putting themselves

in control of other minds. If the medium communicates a fact which it is certain was only known to one now dead and the one to whom the communication was made, then a strong probability is created that the spirit of the departed one communicated that fact. Yet the proof here iB not positive, lor there may have been means not yet understood by which persons of certain powers may learn what is in the mind of another. But of this kind of proof, it was net our purpose to write now. The only proof of any value must come from the nature of the communications made. These wonderful performances, no more prove the existence of spiritual agency, than they prove the existence of laws in relation to mind and matter not yet discovered. It is not logic when a man says "Account for this or else admit that it is the work o^spirits/l^^^^^

THE NEW POS TA GE LA

W.

By the recent change in the postal laws, subscribers to newspapers published in the county where they reside are required to pay postage the same as upon papers published elsewhere. The now law goes into effect on the first of July. On The Mail the rate is only five cents a quarter (three months.) We confidently belieye that this law will be repealed at the next session of Congress. It passed in the form of a clause attached to the appropriation bill, where it received little or no attention. The provision requiring postage in the county formed no part of the bill abolishing ae franking privilege, and could not be classed among the abuses which this act was intended to reform. Upon the presumption, therefore, that the law will not remain in force more than six months, the entire amount which each subscriber will be culled upon to pay in addition to the regular subscription, will be the trifling

of ten cents.

THK fact that the Great Eastern has been laying an Atlantic telegraph cable, is one of the common place items of the day, causing scarcely more of a ripple in the nowspapers than would the laying of a cable across the Wabash. The vessel arrived at Heart's Content yesterday, and safely anchored another cable uniting the two continents.

ONE of the unpleasant features of the recent rise In real estate Is the fact that It has attracted few if any outside capitalists. We have been speculating among ourselves. Like a party of gentlemen closeted all night at cardsthere Is no more money in the room when they rise than when the game commenced.

THIS is*ue completes the third year of The Mail. It is a gratifying fact that the paper was never so prosperous, ard that with each returning* week the circulation steadily increases. The latter is evidence of merit, or exhibits the poor taste of the reading community.

CARD FROM DM. PENCE.

TO KM, jomw SMITH.

MR. EDITOB:—With yonr permission I propose is brief manner, to notice some of the objections to.Bpiritualism, which I find In an article over the signature of a Mrs. John Smith, In your Saturday's issue (21st last.,) in which a request is made, to which my consent is solloited by the writer, who assures the publio that she is not prejudiced against Spiritualism, but rather pleased with the idea that the loved ore's may return from their homes beyond, to guide, comfort and protect us, but while we concede the thought to be a pleasing one to us poor mortals, can it be equally so to the one returning? Particularly on finding some of the loved ones on the downward career of life: In which case the writer pathetically asks, "What would be the feelings of a father who returns to earth and finds a son ruined by the wine cup, or the gamingtable? Or a mother who looks upon a lovely daughter strayed from Innocence and virtue?"

Need we ask what are the feelings of parents who are unwillingly forced to witness the same thing in this life Do thev desire to be remeved to a point beyond hearing dlstanoe? Verily, no. Who has not witnessed the frantic efforts of a parent to reclaim a wayward child? "Yea. more," who has not felt the throb of that sympathetic cord which binds each to the other, when touched by the agonizing cries of a poor unfortunate None, no, not one. It permeates every soul, makes of us the humane beings we are binds us together as one body, and cannot, will not be severed by passing through the change called death. No, no, it belongs to the soul, will follow it by Divine permission throughout the realms of eternal space, inspiring us everywhere to more noble deeds and better acts. It is the attractive element which draws the loved ones back to sympathize with, to aid, guide and protect so far as possible, those whom they have left behind to fight "yet awhile" the battle of life In this mundane sphere.

Let the fact be known that we are never alone, but ever surrounded by the loved ones who have passed from the mortal to the immortal, whose mission it is to influence us to higher, better, and more noble deeds, ana further, let all realize the fact that every misstep Is taken cognizance of,and brings a piercing pang to the heart of a dear mother, a father, or some other dear friend from the other shore, and still further, that every such act makes its impress upon our spiritual existence, which may hang over us as a dark and dismal cloud for ages in the world of spirits. There is but a small portion of the teachings which reach]us through our spiritual friends from the other world, which if the ministry would inculcate it, preach it as a religious principle throughout tbe world "me thinks" humanity would be the better

The writer further questions what would be the feelings of "a husband who draws near an idolized wife and finds her in the arms of another?" Indeed I do not know, but would suppose that much, very much, depends on the amount of lealousy and selfishness tbe spirit has taken with him "to the next shore across."

The writer adds: "At a seance a gentleman whispered to me as a face appeared, 'that is my first wife,' and I thought to myself, well If I were your first wife I would comedown out of that clothes press and sit between you and No. 2." I am truly glad to know that this is not the only instance in which spirits have been recoguized and it affords me still greater pleasure to find those thus favored rejoicing at beholding the face of some dear aud bellvcd friend,whom they had mourned as

live, an/by their presence demonstrate the fact that there is an individualized conscious existence beyond the grave, by which the great?question, "If a man die shall he live again," Is answered. And still the question is asked "what good do they accomplish? Who is made better thereby?" Mrs. Smith thinks it strange that the one recoguized by Mrs. Potts as her husband should put on spectacles, and the aunt a bonnet, aud in order to remove all doubts as to her identity should show "the side of her face distorted by epilepsy." Flaase turn to Hebrews and read 13th chapter 2d verse also 20th chapter St. John, and this may not appear so strange.

I a in unwilling to bolidve that the seance room Is visited by parties whose object it is to find a subject for ridicule, as is supposed be the case by Mrs. Smith. It may be possible, however, through the force of prejudice and lack of appreciation, there inay be those who feel thus inclined. If so they are admonished, for their own good, to remain outside.

In reply to Mrs. Smith's remarks with regard to the uncleanly appearance of the medium. I have but little to offer, never having been one of tbe examining committee. Would say, however, In extenuation, of the medium, that one who has the charge of a family, and is from the force of circumstances compelled to work in the kitchen and over the wash tub, cannot appear as tidy as those more favorably situated. Would say to Mrs. John 8mith, have charity, charity. O, I pray thee, have more charity.

Mrs. Smith concludes her article by making tbe following proposition, viz: "The first time I ever saw Mrs. Stewart she fixed her eyes intently upon me and exclaimed, 'you are mediumistlc.' I laughed and replied.'I guess not. I wouldn't heve lived all these years without finding it out.' 'Nevertheless you would make a good medium.' was tbe reply. Now, since I am 'mediumistlc' and therefore cannot disturb tbe conditions may I be permitted to enter the cabinet with Mrs. 8tewart? If I do not detect a fraud I will never again lift my voice or pen against Spiritualism." Mrs. John Smith may or may not be medfumlstic, tbe fact that ahe has not found it out is no evidence that she Is not. She may not have cultivated these powers. But admitting that she is, this would not favor her claim to a seat in tbe cabinet, it would be no (•ridence that the conditions would not bedistured thereby, her mediumsbip might not harmonise with that of Mrs. Stewart's, there being many grades of mediumanip, In proof whereof, read 13th chapter 1st Corinthiana. mnce we cannot grant this request I will propose tbe following, hoping it may prove qui tea* satisfactory. I will execute my bond for one thousand dot-

{.DO MUUO ^UVUUUTOUS TU»* by Mrs. Stewart, under tbe teat conditions granted by her, and evade detection as she bss, then explain bow the thing can be done, outside of spiritual phenomena, tbe proposition to stand

good for the nest Ave yean. Permit roe, Mr. Editor, to say in ooncluslon that tbe ssanoe room will be open Tuesday, Tbursdsy and Saturday evenings of ssch wsek: slsc on Sunday evenings when tbe ball la not occupied.

Tbe flvo hundred dollars is still offered under the former proposition aa a reward to any one who will detect fraud in Mrs. Stewart's seanoes. The investigating publio are oordially invited. Come friends: come help us to detest tbe fraud, if a fraud it Is. Again come and oblige ALLRW PMCK.

THERE was an exciting scene in the vicinity of the jail yesterday evening. To execute a bond Col. McLean started from the Court House to the jail. To get in out of the rain he went on a run. He beckoned to Deputy Sheriff Erney, who followed at a rapid pace. The police saw the movement, and started on the run the people followed, and in less time than it takes to write this, a large crowd had collected, expecting to find the prisoners had jail, or some dire calamity had oocurred.

THE Terre Haute Mwnnercbor originated, and Breinig's Band have volunteered, to give a concert at Dowling Hall next Thursday ovening for the benefit of Michael Rink. The entertainment, of Itself will be well worthy of patronage, and tbe unfortunate man, whose life now hangs upon a thread is deserving of the comfort which a few dollars will bring his family now dependant upon a matter of five dollars a week granted by tbe county.
