they have both been telling the truth about the pjattear in hand. The moat unfortunate j»art of this aftair—and It is difficult to conceive of any occasion for deeper regret—ia that, instead of both parties being killed outright, neither was «erioua!y hurt. These contests would IK* only be more amusing, but a real frueftt to the public, if they were invariably attended by fetal results to both ^•ombatanta. Unless they can be carried to this extent, and be made productive ef public good, it were better te diseonvontinue them. t. iv is a snsmrAXJBrremx.
Hia ftdth ia too strong to be shaken by ttay auch slight alfitlrs as the Katie King exposure. The fiKt ia that the r»il Katie King has been called up to a higher *phere, and couldn't come here any mora. Tb» public demand for Katie was ao strong that Mr. and Mis. Holmes were tempted to produce a bogus Katie, and were caught at it. No spiritualist, whose faith is founded on the mani&stationa given by Mrs. Stewart at Pence's Hall, can be made to doubt the reality of these heavenly visitors, though every medium in the country,Mrs. Stewart inciuded ahould be proved a fraud.
Bpiritualism ia a grand system of truth which no exposures of deception can aitect. IT the Intelligent akeptica of this city would only gt to Peace's Hall and tfilftaeas the marvels produced by Mare. Mtewart and liaten to the tuessagea which she brings from the spirit world, they would doubt no longer.

All this is something, at least, on the ride oi Spiritualism.
Mr. Owen's recent article in the Atlantic we have characterised as remarkable. It details a series of seaneea given in Philadelphia, by the Holmeees, last summer, which Mr. Owen had been invited to attend by a message flrom the spirit world, with the promise that he should receive much edifloafcion therefrom.

The spirit of Katie King, a beautiful and Innocent young girl of celestial liveliness, revealed itself to him on many oe casiona, brought inspiring messages from the other world, spoke words of heavenly wisdom, touched him, even allowed him to put his arm gently round her on one oceaalon, and in short gave him such hope and enoouragement as no mere sublunary being could do. Others saw and heard her aa well as he. It was not-possible there should beany trick, ery or delusion. All these wonderful revelations were made in a plain room, with a simple cabinet which was thoroughly examined for any of the implements of Jugglery every exit te or lroua the room waa thoroughly barred in ffcet every possible guard against deception waa put In practice. Yet from the cabinet door would come lltUe Katie, in her robe of celestial beauty and angel fkee, and, to prove the verity of her garment, condescended to cut a small piece from it for Mr. Owen, when

usual the reporters called on Mr. Owen to know what he meant. While replying in oautious language, he admitted that he had not made his teats as rigid aa they might have been that the cabinet was In proximity to a window (boarded up) and also to a door, and that the arrangement might have allowed of traps. (Both these circumstances are alluded to in the Atlantic article, but Mr. Owen there says he convinced himself that no entrance to tho cabinet could be efleeted by means of them). Furthermore, he had informed the Holmsee that he was not absolutely satisfied with their manner of conducting the seances snd asked them to place the cabinet on castom, so that it might be moved to any part «f the room. This they did not seem inclined to do. Uaid the reporter:
Do you think the Helmses would practice a fraud To which Mr. Owen n£ plied "I do not make any acousatlon, but certainly none could better do it than they. Falling to produce the original

NEWSBOYS' ADDJiESS. fj!
At the solicitation of the little army of Mail newsboys, who, at the close of each week carry the Saturday Evening Mail to the store, the shop, the office, and the private residenoe, we have had prepared aspioy New Year's address full of happy hits and rhymes on the times. We commend these little newsboys to the kind consideration of the patrons of The Mail. When they band yon their offering on New Year's morning, reward them with a small amount of postal currency. Whatever you give them goes directly to their little pockets—not to the publisher of this paper.
The address—some five hundred lines in length—touches upon such subjects as—a New Year's caution—the carrier's personal—the carrier's dream—the burglars—beer, Baxter and politics—city council some improvements hard times—pedal culture—Lafayette feet— about big shoes—water works—greeting to the little folks, Ac., o.

^£"7 ADVICE TO WIVES:
Never Have a "Gtnttemtm Friend."
Why don't some one write a book fotf wives that is worth something? Puddings, pies, hair brushes and neat slippers, are all important to domestic bliss, of course but after having said, "Always be neat always see that dinner is properly cooked, always smile when be comes home, and never on any account forget the pudding"—which, by the way, is the very last thing he cares for generally—why don't somebody say, "Never have a gentleman friend I say so decided ly. A girl may have any numberof them, and it is a wldow'a especial privilege but a wife bas no business to have any "dear" friend, her own lather and brothers excepted, beaide her husband. The moment she has one she leaee the brightest link from the chain of wedded life for marriage ia worse than nothing if lasting and unswerving friendship do not underlie it, and if confidence do not set Its seal upon it and, no one can have two confidential friends at the same time.
When a with has told this "friend" of hers some little thing that ia kept from her husband, when she baa a glance for him with a meaning in it not for others, there is planted in that man's heart a little germ of selt-aaUsfacdon, aglow off triumph over tise husband, in whose^ place, in that one particular at least, he certainly stands. The woman may be, the last to misconduct herself outright,f yet she bas done so in spirit.

A gentle husbandleisa creature in Illinois writes to a lawyer who advertised that he would provide companions for unmarried persons: "My dear Mr. This is to oertify that I am a widow with thirteen children born, have bad three husbands each of which died in poaco in his own way.

Ten dollars will be given to you to produce a man." The case of Oliver B. Stout is the sensation In Indianapolis. Oliver sued hia mother in law, claiming damages to the amount of $40,000, for "alienating his wife's affections." The defendant proved that the aggrieved husband came home drunk every night, and besides wss addicted to the practice of nudcing love to the oolored servant girl, besides committing other indiscretions of just such a nature as would "alienate the affections" of a wife, without taking account* of any influence exercised by the mesh-er-in-law.
