Rrv. W. M'K. Dattwood—Beverend •fc and Dear Sir T. T. is aware of the sad fact very diminutive oleaginous spot is all that Brother Hook baa left to bear witness that you once existed. T. :T. ia also aware that, In a very brief 0 period, that fell destroyer which, as the tt poet has so besntitally said, "Cats down all,

Both gnat and small,"

Oat damned spot. Out II s»y J" But although such a sad fate has overtaken you, and such lu the near future that awaits what is left of you, still, unmerciful as it may seem, T. T. feels it to be a duty wbieh he owes to the public to 1 address you this open letter.

I T. T. feels In dutj bound to say plain* ly that you richly deserve all that has 4 come and Is to oome upon you. What right, air, had you, a minister of the I gospel, to go down to Pence's HaU to

Investigate the wonderful manifestations |of spiritual phenomena given by Mrs.

4!pt5w»rt,

and then declare publldy that

ithose manifestations are produoed by "rt'fpHDn and frauJ? What if yon did uu so? Going there by your own expressed desire, and—deepest depth of iintamy!-going as a clerical "dead *head," you push

your

investigations as

"if you desired to find out the truth, whereas, under

suoh

oirouinstances you

were under the solemn obligation of *duty to keep your eyea open to all that iseemed—it could only seem-to be the ^result of trickery. The simple fact that ^you had a free ticket should have forever closed your lips upon whatever of fraud and deception you might have thought 1 yon detected.

And then, what right had you to think "there was any trickery here? Did you iinot know James Hook before you went there? Did you not know Dr. Pence?

Did you not know Sam Conner? Didn't syou know that, as Mr. Hook so well says, "for live and a-half years she (Mrs. Stewart) has been under our (their) supervision and control as a medium, giving the closest scrutiny and critical •examination to the phenomena before endorsing It," fec, and that therefore ithey knew a great deal more about this matter than you did Didn't yon know that James Hook, Dr. Pence and Sam Conner are enough sight better, and 'boneater, and more intelligent, and more pious men than you and your fel low Methodist M. D*s and D. D* are? .Didn't you know that thla entire community, where these men ha ye been so -longand intimately known, has perfect confidence in their sound judgment, especially on aptritual subjects? And didn't you know that in even thinking whether these phenomena were real or the reault of triekery, you raised the question whether these time-honored citiaens were, on the one hand, Intelligent and honest men, or, on the other hand, fools or knaves

Now, throwing oat of the scooast the important teat that yon entered Penoe's Hall as a "dead bead," what right had you, knowing all the tots enumerated, to think that It was possible that you bad found proof of deception? Why, under the circumstances, T. T., like any other man of intelligence and honesty, if be had positive proof that Mm. Stew•rt personated every one of the materialising apirita, the nnde male gentleman included, wouldn't believe it. Of course

1

he wouldn't. Isn't James Hook hones* and Intelligent? lent Dr.Pencehoneat and Intelligent? Isn't Sam Conner honest and Intelligent? Therefore Mrs. Stewart la honest. Therefore theee manifestations sre rest Therefore spiritualism is true. There is no eeeape from this conclusion without impugning either the intelligence or honesty, or both, of this trio of gentlemen who for Ave and a-half years hava manipulated this medium end know all about her.

And then, sir, even if you did eo Ux transgress alt considerations of gratitude for the free ticket, and all regard for the

logic Indicated above, as to allow your* aelf to be honestly convinced that these people were practicing fracd and playing upon the most sacred of human feelings, how con Id yon so far deseend from the position which aa a minister yon ought to oecupy, as to say, In yonr pnlpit, "We cannot find language to express our detestation of the frauds and tboae engaged in them In Penoe's Pan demonium In their hellish workV How could yon say of men whom you he lieved to be taking advantage ot the affectionate regard for the dead to deceive the public, and make pecuniary gain, and undermine confidence In the truth, that "thieves and robbers are gentlemen compared with such persons?" How could yon designate those whom you believed to have brought upon public platform a naked man to help them in their deception, as "foes to purity?" Beverend dear sir, T. T. is sur prised and pained that yon, a minister of the gospel, shquld nse snob, to quote dear brother Hook, "vituperation, billingsgate, invective and elang." Yet neither T. T. nor the publio onght to be aurprised at this, for to what depths will not a man deeeend, who will acoept afree ticket to Pence'a Hall, and then, in Usee of the fact that Jamse Hook, Dr. Pence and Sam Conner endorse Mrs. Stewart and her manifeatations, allow hlmaelf to be convinced by the simple evidenoe of his own eyes that the manifeetationa are not real Alaa, alas, that the good old Methodist church should have in its ministry a man so utterly loet to the Influence of a free ticket, and so ignorant of the,moet.familiar l%ws of logio.

And yet the good Mr, Hook, true to the character whloh be has ever borne in this community, while so truthfully declsring that this minister baa been *t putting himself In thedireot line of promotion as the Assofsodety," speaka ofbimaa "Brother Darwood," thus, in the depth of his humility, admitting hia own near kinahip to the quadruped of harsh bray and long and alouehingears.

When shall we three meet again?" Till then, farewell. Affectionately.

Topics of the Times.

trii Rici M£N OV ClAiMsB^Bd. In a recent Fourth of Jnly address delivered at Galesburg, Illinois, Col' Clark E. Carr gave utterance to some very sensible idess which it would be well for many people in this country to hear and give heed to. Taking for hia theme the extravagant teachings of socialistic leaders, he set out to inquire whether the poor man was really so badly treated in this country, whether he was the slave of the rich* etc. In order to do tbla he teok up a number of the principal men of wealth In and around Galesburg and showed in what manner they bad oome by their fortunea. The rlcbeat man in the city had left home with only the clothes on hia back and worked out after hewaa twenty-one years old for

|8.00

a month, working

fourteen hours a day. The largest merchant worked out as an apprentice for |26 ayearand furnished bis own clothes. Kesrly every direotor In the three banks started in life without a penny. The chief juatioe of the Sopreme Court of Illlnoie, a citizen of Galeabnrg, began hia profession with only flO in the world. The division superintehdent of the Chicago, Burlington and Qulnoy railroad started at the brake. A boy to Whom he gave the position of brakeman is now the general superintendent of the Central Pad tic while another man who atarted there aa a section boss now holds the position of assistant superintend ant of the Union Pacific. Thus, of the bankers, merchanta, rallroad^and professional men and lkrmers, nearly every one began life poor. Now, what OoL Carr did for Galeabnrg an old dttssn could do for every town In the oountry,—that is, show from his own personal knowledge that all the leading men in and around it began life poor and scraped together the begtnnlnge of their fortnnea by "hard knocka." Do such facta aeemto indicate that poor dm "have no show "—that "they are the alavea of the rich," etc Contrasted with theee foots, on the other hand, how many yonng men, who inherit wealth from their ancestors, squander it Hire water until, In a few yean it la alt wasted and then end their Uvea by crime or violence flow very few who start rich keep rich to the end It Is silly to talk about the oppreation of capital* The man who ia willing to work faithfully and steadily and to carefully husband his earnings, will make an honorable place for himaetf in life, if he is only patient and steadiest.

"Did we look like that?" one would ask who had got out of the brine and into her right clothea again.

OPPORTUNITY, ETC.

The case of Dr. Livingston, Indian Agent, furniahaa an other illustration of the fact that when a man once oversteps the bounds of honeety, there is no calculating where he will bring up. Livingaton secured hia appointment specially through the influence of the Episcopal Church, of which he must have been a respected* and Influential member. At that time he waa probably an honest man and intended to deal boneetly by the government and the Indiana. Very likely if be oould have fbreeeen the course of life he baa led aa an Indian agent he would have ahrunk from the poeittou in horror. But it ie an old adage that "opportunity makea thethlef." Many a man ia virtnoua becauae he laoka a strong temptation to ain. It waa ao In Dr. Livingston's case. He had been upright in bia former life because no great opportunity for suocesaful atealing bad preaented itaelf. At laat the day of trial came and hia negative virtue gave way beneath the assault. He fell, and great was the fall of him. The barrier of honeety broken down, he went headlong. Having stolen a little, he considered he might ss well Steal much. He was a thief* anyhow why not be a big thief? "He stole," Commissioner Hay ssys, "all be oould." There was method In his stealing. He atudied out ingenious jdsns for swindling the government and everybody else, He made it the serious business of his life to get money dishoneetly. Dlsclosurea like theee are ahooking. We read of them'with Indignation and curses. We wonder how any man can beoome such a whited sepulcher of rottonness and corruption. It is well not to forget that it all had a very smsll beginning and that when the Jirst dishonest step wss taken all the reat was inevitable. There ia only one sure way tojkeep from deaerving a place behind the penitentiary bars, and that is, by never taking the firat dishonest atep. i-.&iu-i

TAKB CASE OF THE BABIES. The greateet aufferera from this weather are the babiee. Poor things, they don't know what hurts them. So far we hear of few deaths from diseases of the aummer, but unlesa extraordinary precautions are exercised this extraordinary weather, the mortuary liats will be filled with the little victims. The Obstetrical Society of Phllsdelpbis, composed of some of the ableet physicians in the land have given thla subject a oarefol inveetigatlon, aud the reault of their inqulriea is given to the public in pamphlet form as advice to mothers. The recommendationa are aimple,but all the more valuable aince they are both effective and plainly harmless. The elements of the sdvice are to guard the child against poisoning in air, foul ClOthee, food or medicine, and are briefly summarised aa follows 1. Perfect cleanllneea ia enjoined In every minute particular the ohange of night and day clothing, dean with each

The child, irsick, must be kept to the mother's milk alone, or, if that rove insufficient, to cow's milk. There no safe substitute for milk to Infants who have hot cut their front teeth. No child should be weaned, aa a rule, until after ite eeeond aummer. The food which nature has provided will often eave the life of a child when everything eieefMIe.

Social Life—American Moth•

-From the New York Tribune. One* night not long ago. this young girl in a haunt of vies in Philadelphia, accidentally, while ataopjper, put her foot on a parlor match, whfoh aet fire to bar clothing. Another girl, who ran to her reecue, shared her fete their dresses ware of thin materid, and blaaed over tbdr heada while they fled shrieking to the street, and there burned elowl to death. Tne men, their onmpsnfons, stood by and offered no help. Thedgniflcant part of this horrible etory 1* that both women were young, attractive, of good birth and aodal podtlon, both educated (one a graduate of Vassar college) both had left homeeof comfort and eaee, hnabanda and ehlldreu, voluntarily, to take up thla mode of life, whloh in tbdr caae could boad of no attractive gilding. The houae in wbich they met their terrible fate waa one of the lowest of its class the men whom they chose aa friends belonged to a wretched negro minstral show—degraded, cowardly brutes whostood off in safety watching them die. Only two or three daya ago the police raeorae of our own city told an even more pitiable tde. A father found hie daughter In an infamous ilace, and strove by legd meana to take ier out. She defied him, the courts sustained her, and ahe went out gayly from the court room with ber wa companions, giggling at the discomfiture of the bftokenliearted fetber and brother, who etood with heada bowed in ahame as they passed by.

The most frightful fact in our social life faoeo us in theee etoriee. It ia that there are women in this lowest deep who sre not driven there by went or orudty, nor led there by a betrayed affection women who nave been gently reared, educated, beloved, wboee nature* are ao tdnted that they chooee to go out. like the prodigal of old, from the home God gave them, to feed with tbe ewine. How many such are bidden in theee dena God only knows how many remdn in tbdr original podtlon, the reoords of our divoroe courts, tbe foul gosdp with whloh so-odled feahlonable aodety reeke, not only In thla eountry but in England, gives us an appdling hint. It ia uaelees to ignore ihlafeot. Neither the pulpit nor the preee, if it aneana to help at dl in the work of bettering our aodd life, ought to ignore the fket that a oertdn portion of American and Engllah society Is rapidly becoming aa lloentloue aa that of Paris.

Who is to blame for lt? Not human natures Women and men are born ss pure to-day as they were a generation ago. Not Christ's religion. His hand Is ss strong to save'the Msgdden In the streets of New York ss of Jerusalem. It is tbe mothera who are'to blame. Mothers in feshlouable society, in tbeoltiee, and in that aodety whloh feebly apse tbe fashion in towns sndvillsgee snd farm plscss, from Mslne to Oregon, wfco set before their daughters, from their birth, drees andabow anddyle aatbe gods they are to follow. We venture to say that '"Style that mod vulgar of words and things, hss done as much to oorrupt the woman of America as liquor hss. Not only wss it the cause of our fiasndd downfdl, but modesty, honeety, deoency sre sacrificed to ft. Fashion now publishee even the rules for "first communion dressee," snd sets forth the pipings and coiffure In whloh an innocent girl may properly approach her God. There le nothing so holy that itianot made eubaervlent to it. It is not the wedthy mother alone who vitiates her.child'a mind bv thia worship of folly, but the mechanic's wife, tbe poor seamstress whose sim Is to "push ber er on In sOdety," to give her stylidi dresses Instead of a modest heart, aelean mind and a God-fearing aonl. The moral training which auch mothers lect ia supplied by hot-presaed aenond juvenile literature and the reporta of foul aoandala in the ddly newspapers. Listen to tbe preoodous goeelp of tbe flaunting, overdreseod school glrla who parade the etreete on a holiday, abd the tragedies in Philadelphia add New York whloh we have mentioned will not eeem a strange sequel to such training.

It is but to a certdu portion of our aodety that theae trutha apply, and that tbe amalleet. Tbe great obscure mses of American women are honorable, chaste and modeet. In the msjority of our bomea there are common sense and piety enough to give tawdry display its proper piece In life, and to eurb and direct the appetitee which Ged baa given to man aaMl women. It rente with mothera to make thatmajority larger or amdler.
