TH* largest audienoe eyer gathered into the Opera House lb* a minstrel entertainment, was that which greeted the Birch, Warn bold A Backus company Tuesday evening. Billy Birch laid up sick, at Chicago, waa greatly missed, but the others gave fttU value for the money deposited at the ticket office.

NiqbtSCHOOLS.—Prof. Wiley, in his annual report of the city schools, earnestly recommends the establishment of night aoboola.

THE Hibernians danced the old year out and the new year In, quite pleasantly, at Dowling Hall. The ball was well managed and fine success,

SOME kind of a show, poorly advertised and badly managed, came over from St. Louis and lost money two nights this week at the Opera House.

ANT ordinary man can own a steamboat now-a-days. Ohauncy Twaddle has recently purchased the elegant, swift-running steamer Dolly Varden, for twenty-five dollars.

THE Eagle Foundry, J. A. Parker, proprietor, which quietly suspended work some ten days ago, for necessary repairs, will be is full blast and in admirable working order on Monday morning.

NEXT week is the "Week of Prayer." Union services, led by laymen, will be held from 9 to 10 o'clock, in the following churches, commencing Monday, in the order named: Asbury, Second Presbyterian, Baptist, Congregational, Christian, First Presbyterian.

THE Seventeenth Annual Masquerade of the Msennerchor will occur the 17th of February. The Msannerchor is now twenty years old. It was four years old when it commenced giving its series of masquerades, which have grown in popularity with each successive year.

THE Iron Men's Association give another entertainment at the Fifth Street Opera House this evening. These entertainments—free from all vulgarity— are for the benefit of men out of work. The gentlemen who take part in the pleasing exercises do their utmost to please, and are usually complimented with good audiences.

THE Twentieth annual session of the State Teachers Association, of Indianapolis this week, the Journal of that city says was of unusual interest and more numerously attended than any similar gathering the country ever knew. Prof. W. A. Jonas of the State Normal School was elected President for the ensuing year. During the session he read a paper favoring compulsory education.

JOHN WARD, the man who was robbed and thrown from an upper window of the Clark House one night some two weeks ago, died of his injuries at the Providence Hospital yesterday afternoon. Sim Woollen, Matt Alexander, Jeannette Parsons and "Big Ann," accused of the crime are in jail. Ward was an Englishman, about fifty years of age, an excellent bootmaker, at work for J. Kretz, on north Fourth street.

THE pleasant custom—when not abused—of making New Year's calls was extensively observed on Thursday afternoon. There were not so many open houses as one year ago, but by massing forces more ladies received, and we believe there were more gentlemen callers. We are pleased to state that, with a few exceptions, intoxicating liquors were excluded from the sideboards. Next year let no young man be tempted with the intoxicating cup at fair hands.

Ed. Saturday Evening Mail .-—Some time this past year Dr. Pence offered $500 to any one who would expose the performance of Mrs. Stewart, the great medium, who showed faces and hands. I propose to duplicate the performance of Mrs. Stewart, or any other medium. I will do this, first in the dark and then in the light, and in the presence of as many as choose to witness it, and so clearly explain it that anyone who sees me can also perform these marvels. I hereby challenge Dr. Pence to put up his mosey, so that I may be paid for my time and trouble if I expose his medium (which I certainly shall do). I will also expose all other spiritual manifestations, such as as the "dark seances," "how spirit faces are shown in the dark," spirit writing," etc. Yours truly,

^SPIRITS OR NOT?

A Challenge to Spiritualists.

MUfel Tinfy A CBA2&3E FOR INVESTIGATION.

For s&Vferal days past a gentleman by the name of 8. S. Baldwin has been stopping at the Buhtin House. A few evenings since he, in company with some other gentlemen, visited Pence's Hall, where Mrs. Stewart has been holding seances, and finally offered to produce, by perfectly natural means, the same results which are produced by Mrs. Stewart. Last Sunday evening was the time set for his expose, but when he, with his companions, reached the hall, they were not admitted because the hall was already full.

Last evening, Prof. Baldwin gave a private entertainment to a few people in the parlor of the Buntin House. About eight o'clock the room was being pretty well filled, and when the Professor stepped into the apartment some twenty-five or thirty people had assembled. In a few words Mr. Baldwin announced that he would give but a few tests, yet enough to demonstrate that what the mediums call the work of spirits is produced on perfectly natural principles. He then asked that a committee of four be selected from the audience, persons perfectly disinterested,^ who might be permitted to tie him in any way they chose. The gentlemen selected were, Capt. A. G. Welsh, D. C. Greiner, B. F. Clarke, and R. L. Balding. These gentlemen then escorted Mr. Baldwin ana a boy named Mack, bell-boy at the hotel, who was to assist in the performance, into a little room, adjoining the parlor, which was to be used instead of a cabinet. Here they tied the performer and boy to separate chairs, drawing the knots so tight that the cords sunk into the flesh, the entire assembly looking on and at liberty to examine the ropes. Then all retired and the door waa closed. In exactly two minutes the professor called to open the door and he and his companion were found entirely free.

The next test was a musical one. A guitar was placed on the table near Mr. Baldwin, and he was then tied tast to his chair, as was his companion, this time by another committee. Both hands and feet were tied. Then the door was closed and no sooner was the latch sprang than the guitar commenced playing. All rushed in, to find him «Btill tied and the guitar lying on the table as before. Then all again retired and upon going into the room in exactly one minute ani seventeen seconds, both were found untied.

His next feat was cdled the "spiritual tie," and consisted in tying him alone in the room to the chair with a perfect net work of knots, and dropping hot sealing wax upon each knot- While in this condition he requested four gentlerUen, any in the room, each to write on a slip of paper, a letter to a dead friend. This being done they put the letters in envelopes singlj, and sealed each leter with red wax, so that they might not be opened. These letters were laid before him on the table in his cabinet, and in a few minutes he read them in a loud voice so that the audience in the other room might hear the contents of the letters. Here are the letters and the answers as found in the envelopes after being returned to, the writers with the seals unbroken "Mr. Grossman, you will please be kind enough to let me know the arcKitectual culture in the spirit world."

There was no reply to the above. The second was as follows: "What is beyond the vale? Is there such a thing as "futurity Or is it but a blank

The answer was/'A blank," and signed, "Drunk Bill."i pA Next: "Is spiritualism a good doctrine to live by better to die in ?—[Greiner."

No answer. He was found sitting in the chair tied as before, the wax seals unbroken. The door was then closed, and in an instant he was entirely free. His next feat was putting on a coat andsewine it together at the sleeves and Iappels, and while tied, taking it off, the coat sewed together as before. The time occupied in this was thirty seconds. nl

Then a couple bf hand-cuffs were brought, the key holes of which were tied over with paper, and sealed with wax. Theae fastening with a lock, were secured on the wrists H. Fisk, and Mr. Baldwin, and the key taken away. Both went into the cabinet, and came out in a moment entjj^ly free, the seal an broken, I

The professor offers fb do just what Mrs. Stewart does, he being givea the same conditions. In all cases he promises to duplicate her feats, and beside, he offers to let Eugene Heiner, or any other man who is a good shot, fire a pistol at anytlingwhich appears at the curtain. These things he offers to do in the dark cabinet, and afterward with the dcors open, so that the public may see all about the matter. It is understood that he will also give an txpote in the Opera House, some night next week.

Knightsville Enterprise: We have fa mors, how well founded we know not) that the coal shafts in this neighborhood will all shut down in a short time. Already the Gartsherrie mine, the Clay Coal Co., and the new Knightsville shaft are idle. We cannot believe that this state of affairs can continue long, as our coal must go to market, and there is too much money invested in the business to lay idle loag. But even a temporary saspension will work much hardship and want for the laboring class.

each impre3slou adding a new color, print ed from a separate stone, especially draw^ by the artist for the purpose, and that it takes from two to twelve months of unremitting labor to bring out a first edition, we shall, perhaps, be willing to allow that the art is not so simple after all. From a philosophical point of view, the great value of chromo-lithography is to be lound in the fact that it cheapens good art. It has been called the "DEMOCRACY OF ART," and Justly so. In these days of high prioes of paintings, it Is a comfort for the well-ed-ucated, but slender of purse, to be able to decorate their walls with such close and conscientious reproductioas. Badly executed prints, guadily colored by band,which formerly pained the sight at every turn, have almost been driven out of existence by chromo-lithography and while the leading newspapers were formerly content wHS Offering to their Mibscribers the obeapes engravings the market afforded, they noi vie with each other to 6upply good copieaot good paintings, a feat which the chrom alone has enabled them to accomplish. Is by this invention that we are permitted to

How Ghromos are Made.

How are chromos made? This question Is frequently asked. Chromos are produced by lithography, a process invented by

ALOIS 8ENEFELDEK, OF MUK1CH, toward the end of the last century. Lithography is the art of printing from stone. The most obvious difference between Urography and other modes of printing lies in the fact that it employs a perfectly smooth surface, while wood-cut and type printing is done from lines raised above the surlteee steel engravtnt, on the contrary, from lines sunk into the surface. The possibility of printing a design from a smooth surfeoe, which at first sight would appear impossible, is obtained by treating the stone (a peculiar carbonate of lime) with varlouB chemical agents, which tend to make those parts of the stone bearing the design susceptible to printer's ink, while the parts bearing no design will reject it.

CHROMO-L1THOORAPHT

is simply the art of printing from stone In colors. But still the art is not simple. To reproduce a good painting is a work entailing no small amount of labor, skill and outlay for the colors cannot be printed all at once, but must be laid on one by one, now overlaying and mixing with each other, now heightening each other by contrast and in the end all combining to form one grand and harmonious whole. When consider that the best of these publication must pass through the press twenty, thirtj or ...K -.
