cottages of Astoria, a company of seven persons sat on a pleasant afternoon last week. Looking across the lawn and through a grove of stately trees they oonld see the eastward-bound boats that bad jost passed through Hell Gate, the sailing vessels drifting idly with the sluggish tide, and the excursion boats returning to the city with their gay companies. As the twilight came on parties of hilarious lads were heard splashing ID

the waters of Astoria cove, or paddling about In their boats. Then the fleet ol steamboats were seen no more, the Doise ceased, and a peaceful summer evening began.

The seven persons on the piazza were Mr. AsaL. Hateh, a New York merchant doing business at No. 61 Liberty street Mrs. Lizzie Hatch, his wife Mr. and Mrs. Whitney and their daughter Lillie, guests Mrs. Clinton, the aged mother of Mrs. Hatch, and a reporter of the Sun. The conversation was mainly upon spiritual manifestations. Mr. Hatch had read the article entitled, "Going aLong Way to Supper," which appeared in the Snn on Tuesday,' containing an account of the wedding feast

gnd,

ven to a bridal party from the spirit by Col. Isaac Eaton, at Leavenworth. Mr. Hatch not only believed that account to be correct, but he said he had seen quite as wonderful things in the materialization of his own daughter's spirit.

Mr. and Mrs. Hatoh had one daughter, Lizzie, who died at the age of 21, a year ago last November. She was a beautiful young woman, and an accomplished musician. On the February after her death their attention was directed to the possibility of communicating with Lizzie by spiritual manifestions. They bad ill sucoees at first, but in the last year they have bad frequent table tippfngs, and are convinced that their daughter communicates with them by that means. Last month they received a still more convincing proof. Having business in the west. Mr. Hatoh took bis wife with him, and on the way they •topped at Terre Haute, where there were two spiritual materialization mediums. Mr. and Mrs. Hatch visited one of these—Miss Laura. "The materialization was most astounding," said Mr. Hatch. "I saw my daughter come out of the cabinet. I recognized her face, form, and dress. I talked with her, I kissed her, and she kissed me, I held her hand, and as I held it she passed gradually away out of my sight. She came again and again, and talked with me about things the medium could not know of. Sometimes I saw my daughter and the medium at one and the same time. I know there was no deception, because I tied the medium in a chair in the cabinet. I put flour in her hands, and tied her hands behind her back, and put the rope through boles, outside the cabinet, and tied a Knot outside. The rope was left inside the cabinet for the spirits to tie her with, whloh was done, and when we opened the cabinet door the medium was tied as I had tied her, with the addition of the knots by the spirits." "One incident," continued Mrs. Hatch, "wss peculiar. I made a little bow of lavender silk, the oolor of my dress, here, and when my daughter's materialised form appeared I asked her if abe would wear the bow, and she took it and put it to her hair with a peculiar motion of the hand that sh,e when alive. The wore this bow three used to wear it, and t&e last day she took it off and gave it to me, and there waa no aign of any pin or anything that her head. I kissed her, bead, and smoothed her hair 'as I used to do: and it waa her hair, fbr 1 knew the feeling of it as only mother oan. I knew bar pet ways ana the expressions she used, such as no medium oould have known. I knew the drees she wore last, which was the same that was materialised. There •oald be no deception in that." "There was one funny thing," added Mr. Hatch. "I asked the materialised spirit of Lizzie whether she bad seen me In Lake Champlain last summer. I was np there visiting my brother. We -went out fishing ana fell into the lake, and, aa we weigh five hundred pounds between us, we had some trouble in getting out. Thatjroason the lake was three net higher than was ever kndwn before, and our friends said it was the ahte of two such fat men that raised the lake three feet. Well, I asked Lizzie's spirit if she bad seen the danger I was la, and sue said: 'Oh, yes, pa, and bean! the joke they made about you.' "Here is a letter which Lizzie wrote as," continued Mr. Hatch. It is dated from the spirit world June 1. It tells how glad she to to see us and to talk with as, and she is pleased with the oompany of her brother. Here is

as the medium. Sevbeeu held without re-

beyond the table tipplngs, but they hoped to be able to see their dear daughter yet walking and talking in their old home. They nave improvised a cabinet by banging curtains in front of a bay window, end here, night aft night, the parents sit, patiently consoling themselves in their bereavement in the constant expectation of a visit from the spirit of their daughter.

On the evening question the table, a light card table, waa brought out, a circle was formed and the tippinga began. The table was rocked violently, walked and waltzed about the room, mainly with the hands of Mrs. and Mr. Hatch upon it, and sometimes with the hands or others of the oompany, though never alone. Often it would go up to different individuals, and Mrs. Hatch always interpreted the movement, and addressed tne table as Lizzie. Mr. Hatch would also convene with the table. The oonversatlon rau in this wise: "Are you glad you are with us, Lizzie?" "Do you wish to oonvince Mr. that you are here?" Do you want Lillie to play some of your favorite airs?" "Will you come to us in a materialized form "Are you happy with your brother

Then Mrs. Hatch said she would go into the cabinet and try whether Lizzie would appear in a materialised form as she had promised. Chairs were placed for the oompany, a music box was set

Srs.

ing, the lights were turned down. Hatch took her seat In the cabinet, and all waited in profound silence. Miss Lillie then played and sang. Her fingers wandered over the keys of the grand piano, now playing the music of a Scotch air that Lizzie was fond of, •The Maid of J)undee," now that of

Prayer," and leared Away."

"Sweet Spirt. Hear My Prayer," and "When the Mists Have CI

Occasionally the player would sing. An hour passed in this way withuot incident, except the appearance of a stray firefly that found its way into the room, and flew in wayward circles up and down in front of the curtain. "1 am afraid we shall have to give It up for to-night," said Mrs. Match. "I think I will oome out," said Mrs. Hatch "I do not think Lizzie will come out to night." The lights were turned on, and Mrs. Hatch said she had been oonsclous all the time. All she had seen was a bright light and a hazy form that she thought was Lizzie's. Others thought they had seen glimpses of the light through the curtains.

As Mr. Hatch bade the reporter goodnight, he said: "We shall continue to watch for Lizzie, for she promised us she would come. We shall be patient, and I think when she comes once we shall see her often. Then we shall be glad to have you oome and see her with us."

A SKEPTICS ADVENTUBE.

A CHICAGO TRIBUNE REPORTER ATTENDS A SPIRITUAL SCEANCE AND DISCOURAGES THE

MEDIUM.

The medium was a beautiful young

Soor

irl, whose pa takes the money at the and whose ma plays selections from "Pinafore" slowly upon the harmonium after the lights have Deen put out Among the spirits which appear through the medium of this beautiful young girl are a big Injun Firewater. Socrates, Napoleon Bonapart and Lord Byron. But the principal and most mysterious attraction at these seances is the Alabaster Spirit Hand. When the faithful are gathered together, and the light Is extinguished, and the musician has eviscerated the harmonium of a tune, the Alabaster Spirit Hand is seen appear in the gloom, and wave salutations, snap its fingers at a skeptic's taunts and write messages from the Summer Lsnd upon a sheet of paper left for that purpose upon the table.

The other evening a skeptical reporter was placed beside the medium. In a few moments the spirits began to appear, and the most satisfactory developments were made. Big Injun Firewater remarked, "Me Big Injun—heap fight, heap scalp, heap hug um squaw, Ugh!" and Byron, on being asked to sling some poetry, slung the following in less than two minutes:

The skies abov^me kt& blttfe, love, The skies above are blue O, dearly I love you, love—

Dost tnou love me, you?" i, Then the Alabaster Spirit Hand was brought out, and it'performed wonders, quickening the faith of believers and making the most skeptical concede that after all there was something in Spiritualism. Just as the medium's father remarked impressively that the ear ef faith was almost long enough to bear the pearly footfalls of that Summer Land, a howl was heard, and the Alabaster Spirit Hand sprang suddenly off of the table, and the medium intn| up and in oompany with the Alabaster Spirit Hand fled Into the adjoining room,'with a rippling and tearing a skirts and petfcoata

Presently the medium's mother bounded In and said that people who threw vitrei on an unprotected girl and bnrnt off most of the skin on tnebaok of her hand would rob a church, and ought to be hanged as high as Hainan, ana would be, too, if she oould get her fingers In his hair—that was all. A proposition from whloh no one ventured to dissent

Then the reporter offered five dollars to discover who had buckled a strap around hla 1m with six or eight stout fish-hooks at the far end, in anon a manner that when the medium, who sat next to him, got up hurriedly and went into the adjoining room, copious selections from her underskirt and polonaise were left in his possession, and then a cry of "Soofibr!" was raised, and he thought It prudent to get out of the win dow, Decease he wanted to write up his copy and get It In early. The sad event has cast a gloom over Spiritualistic dr cles. and the medium has her hand done up in a towel.

SUPERIOR UALIFIOA TlONSi A friend of ours, laving determined to give a musical party, looked about among his acquaintances for suitable guest*, and after considerable cogitation and Inquiry made up his mind to Invite the following: Jones, because he was so clever in blowing nis own trumpet.

ALIQE 0ATE&8 LATEST MATRIMONIAL JOTS. .• The Philadelphia correspondent of the Ghloago Times gives the following acoountof the manner in which Alioe Oates and her husband are spending their honeymoon:

The fair Oates is now at Philadelphia, and resides with her husband, Mr. Watkins. Jr., In the handsome bouse of Mr. Watkins, Sr., on north Seventeenth street. Husband's lines are not cast in pleasant places exactly. Alioe is getting frowsy a nd fat. She Is loud in dress, too, and in street car, restaurant and theatre lobby is loud of voioe, That she should attract attention is natural, for the reason that she is well known. That her husband should be Jealous, or if not jealous, at least perturbed in mind, is natural. He has nad three fights—real fistlcuflb—during the past week. One of them was very entertaining. There had been an invitation dress rehearsal of "Fatlnltza" at the North Broad. Pro torsionals snd newspaper men had attended, and Alioe was there with Watkins. Afterward husband and wife went to Petty'a restaurant, a popular resort, where they lunched. A gentleman occupying a table near by, looked up at the fair Alioe, and in an Instant Watkins was on his feet, white with rage, and a beer bottle In his hand. "What do you mean by looking at my wife?" he yelled. "We oertainly did not look at her with any disrespect," replied the gentleman "Then what in h—1 did y©u look at for?" cried the enraged man, flourishing his bottle wildly in the air.

Just at this juncture the other man, who is a United States marine officer, and a near relative of the late Minister to St. James, of poker-rules fame, rose -up slowly and extended his right arm quickly across the table. The fist rested under Watkins's left ear for a second, there was a heavy fall, a scream from Alice, and the husband, without a word arose, took his wife under his arm, anc, retire. The marine offloer and his friend oontinued tbelr lunch. Since then, and before, this occurrence has had duplicates. In one instance, Watkins got away with his alleged lnsulter. Oates, however, is to open the season at the Aroh, and opens her own season at the same time. It is a safe thing to say that Alice will "catch one" this year, for she is determined to work, she says, and the probabilities are that her oompany will be of the caliber of the days of Hawson, Crane, Jones, Allen, and Seymour. The women will not be of the first order, for Alice never did, nor will she ever, permit the brilliancy of her own talents to oome in oontact with a light that shines ever so dimly. •f M'j

mm.* N I THE BEAUTIFUL WOMAN WHO IS COMING TO AMERICA.

The New York Tribune's London cor respondent writes: "There is a report—I really cannot say at this moment whether well or illfounded—that Mrs. Langtry is going to America in the autumn. If it be true, then you will be able to test for yourself the English standard of beauty. Mrs. Langtry, though subjected during two seasons to the severest competition, remains the acknowledged queen among those ladles whom soolety pays homage for their good looks. She is still at the head of the professional beauties, as people chose to call them. The name is misleading, and has an odious sound, but it is convenient and has thus passed into general utife. It must not be understood as conveying any repros whatever. It is to be said of Mrs. Langtry—but for the word professional would not require saying—that her uame has been for two years or more on everybody's lips and in every gossiping paper without being associated with any scandal. This is true, absolutely true, although it was the Prince of Wales who first brought her into notice and made her the most famous woman in London. Mrs. Langtry's beauty by daylight Is at least equal to her beauty as seen in the glare of waxlights. What you will say of her In America I cannot predict, but it is certain that one secret of her attractiveness in England may be fouud in the extreme delioaoy of her loveliness. Traveling Britons say that this delicaey Is more common in the United States than here. Mrs. Langtrv's complexion has stood the wesr and tear of London life and late hours and over heated rooms, and the pesch bloom on her cbeek does not fade, nor will it rub oft She once offered her handkerchief to a gentleman who was skeptical on this poiat, and asked him to try. The modeling of the temples Is Singularly fine, the arching of the brow delicate the eyea are sapphire blue, set in an orb of tender ourve the hair, which is soft brown, is worn low enough over the forehead to mark the contrast of color with the eyes snd when this lady Is amused, her laughter gives an amination to her countenance that is some-' times Wanting. The T#c6 nas faults wbleh ltts tossy to criticise, but the beauty of It as a whole la beyond denial. It la of some one of her portraita that I ought to say all tbls, but the original Is so much superior t6 the portraits, and so much more constantly on exhibition, that it seemed more convenient to speak of that For the liberty I take—not being a photographer—I offer the bum blest excuses."

A PLEA FOR A PURR WOMANHOOD AND A PURE DRAMA.

Every woman who cares for woman's purity and manhood'a honor will en dorse the following words, written by Mrs. Helen M. Gougar, in her "Bric-a-Brac" oolumn of the Lafayette Courier:

It is a reoog nixed fact among the amusement loving people of the world that Sara Bernhardt is coming to America. This queen of the Comedle Franoaise is sn artist tn more ways than one, and the day ahe sets foot upon the American stage will be an important one tn the history of our dramatic representation. The eyea of the whole refined world will be turned upon us, and we will be judged according to our reception of this gifted woman. An exchange says of ber: "Sara Bernhardt, the world renowned French actress, noted for her remarkable and varied intellectual attalnmente and eccentricities—a tragedienne who Is a sculptress, a painter, a writer, a poet *&<* aeronaut who has an Insurmountable horror of fools, dresses In male costume, has a skeleton lor a constant companion, and is a terror to authors and managers." Brilliant, so fragile that shessysoi herself: ntUt aggressive, tyrannical, such la the character or will come to our abores a "star," to leave ber Impress, not readily effiwed, whstever It may be, upon the moral standard of

Ameri

can drama. The powerful influence of the drama has been felt by every nation, for good or for evil, and it Is an agent second to no other in forming the character of the people. Upon our own It makes its in

fluence felt more readily than upon any other, from the fact that we so hsstily Incorporate all that is new, exciting, and entertaining, and fail to consider the results until they are actually upon us.

At present we may boast ol a comparatively pure national drama, We point with pride to ita growing influence, and to the fact that purity or character, in both the renowned men and women on the American stage is its crowning virtue. Upon such men as Booth ana Forrest, and to the high type of womanhood as shown in the private character of Lotta, Mrs. Landers, Modjeska, Cary, Kellogg, Litta, and many others of as

Eonornote,

reat whom the Americans love to because of their virtue as well as their talent, we look with the same commendable spirit. We cannot afford to cast a slur upon the estimation in which we hold the record of these men and women, by receiving with open arms this brilliant but decidedly immoral woman. With her success upon our stage will come the seal of Immorality that has caused kings and potentates In power to exile theatrical representations from national patronage and social influence. With her suooees, a flood of Frenoh immoralities will pour in upon us to be dreaded by all good people, all those who hope to see the drama made a power lor good instead of evil, a power arm and arm with the press and pulpit to educate and refine, rather than to oorrupt and debase the thousands of people who so readily drink in its pure or impure draughts. If Sara Bernhardt is received as

Bhe

and ber managers ex

pect ber to be, It will be a blow to pure womanhood, and to a pure drama, that it will take years for us to recover from, if we ever do, and one to be deeply regretted at this period of our unsettled gonial rendition and of our national his' t°ry. ——g—sesB-sss—

WHIPPING CHILDREN. The Golden Rule says with truth: A parent who don't know how to govern a child without whipping it, ought to surrender the care of that child to some wiser person. Sportsmen once thought it was necessary to lash their dogs in training them lor the field. They know now that the whip should never be used. Horsemen once thought that it was neoettsary to whip colts to teach them te start or stop at the word, and pull steadily. They now know that an apple is better than the lash, and a caress better than a blow. If dogs and horses oan be thus educated without punishment, what is there in our children which makes It necessary to slap and pound them? Have they lees intelligence? Have they colder hearts? Are they lower in the scale of being?

We have heard many old people say: "If we were to bring up another child we would never whip it" They are wise, but a little too late. Instead of God doing so little for children that they must be whipped to goodness, He has done so much for them that even whipping can't ruin them—that is, as a rule. But, alas, there are many exceptions to this rule. Many children are of such quality that a blow makes them cowardly, or reckless, or deoeitful, or permanently ugly. whipping makes children lie. Whipping makes them hate their parents. Whipping

maxte

home dis

tasteful—makes the boys runaway, makes the girls seek happiness anywhere and anyhow. Whipping is bar-' barous. Don't whip.

ON A OB YINO BABY.

Shriek away! Cry on! Make all the noise you can! I've no doubt it does you good. You are grieved, or angry, or something hurts you let it out. Arouse the house! Break your mother's heart with tenderness, and set your father to—well, repeating his cateohism! Waken any old bachelor who may be in the house from his dreams, and disturb everybody to your soul's content! Have your day while you can the time will come when, suffer as you may. you will not dare to weep. All your misery, all your woe, all your passion, you must hide within your bosom. If tears fall, they must do it silently. Often and often you will feel that you would like to go up on a mountain and yell until you awaken the world—cry until the rivers arose and there were floods but like the rest of us, you will bear it all in sllenoe, smile politely when anyone sees you, and above all, make no noise, no disturbance, though there be a power of misery within you strong enough to work the mills of fate.

Go on, baby shriek, kiek, sob away into silence only to begin on a higher key lose your breath, catch it, go on again. Cry for all of us—you seem perfectly capable of it. Oh, what a luxury it must be to yell so! If we babies of a larger growth oould do. It, there would be less suicides.

DON'T.BUN AWAY.

Don't run away from the temptations snd influences. II you are really a coward, go and hide yourself somewhere, until you havescrewed up backbone enough to face the enemylikie a man. Don't run away at the slightest Indication of danger, as if you hadh't the slightest oonfldence in yourself. Nobody ever conquered a foe by beating retreat If you mean to fight the battle of life like a hero, you can't begin too early. Would yoa respect yourself and win the respect shrink away fron but encounter them, sod

One day during last week a large gray rat seized one of the chickens and started for bis hole, The hen out off the rat's retreat and fiercely attacked him. The strange pugilists fought for five minutes, at the end of whioh time the rat gave up the ghost. Next day another rat made his appearance in the yard. He, too, was attacked, but fought more gamely than the first of the rodents. He put out one of the fowl's eyes, but was himself finally laid low.

MR. A. KIEFER—

During the fall of last

year I jok the ague so prevalent tn this oountry. I at onoe put myself under the treatment gave me olnohonidia lug the ague, but it returned again and again, ana I became so discouraged as almost to lose all hope of a permanent care. Having paid not less than $75 for doctor's bill and medicines, It looked hopeless, but at the suggestion wf Mr. N. G. Haaold I tried yoar Taraxtneand two bottles did the work so oompleteiy that I have had no chills since, and I am in perfect health.

CONSTIPATION,

Ben* the following from the 1ST, Kent, srOMlacst Preofcyt*. riss Minister of Shelby cennty, Indiana.

About four months ago I ueed two bottli of Taraxine for habitual constipation, with whloh 1 had been troubled greatly for many years. It gave me oomplete relief but laid not need to use as full doses as reoommended. It also removed a continued feellug of soreness and oppression over the regions of the liver and stomach, and also greatly Improved my digestion, which had be^n very poor for many years. I have token none for the last two months, but my improved oondition still continues. I might say I have thoroughly tested several popular•tomach bitters, and can confidently say I regard the Taraxine far superior to anything I have used.
