In the meantime we beg to remain yours honestly and seriously for the truth. By order of Mrs. Stewart's managing

the dim light, as herself. other toggery, she sails out as terialiy.sd spirit, and does all sorts ol things, among others shaking hands with the audience. Well, when she shook hands with thc-so young men, she got lamp-black on her hands. Now

got lamp-black on her hands? Was it Mrs. Stewart or WAS it the spirit? At the end of the seance Mrs. Stewart had lampblack on her hands.

Now this would settle the question to most people, but not so to the Pandenioniumites. Dr. Pence does not give his theory of the case in the card which you will come to in a moment, and so we will. Ye (iavi GAZETTEKK has heard him explain this thing so often that ho knows it as well as he does the arguments of the rag moweyites, which, in grandeur of conception, it considerably resembles.

PIIIIJOSOI'H^

A spirit in the process of materializing takes a thin film of matter from

the body

of the medium. For exam

ple, the skeleton hand of the spirit is clothed with a thin film of flesh from the band of the medium, the foot Irom her foot, and so on from tne crown of her head to the sole of her foot. Hair, whiskers and clothing being difiarent in the materialized spirit from those of the medium, asa rule, follow a law of materialization, different, we presume and not understood by us, lor we have never sat at the leet of any of

Apostles of Terre Hanto Spiritualism, and had this matter explained, The hand business, however, we have. Now, you see, the materialized spirit, having masqueraded, so tar as her hand is concerned, in the flesh of t-ie medium, gives that flesh back when the seance is over. Having gotten it soiled, with lampy-black, for instance, during the seance, she gives it back at

its close, covered with lamp-black. Could anything be more natural, more lovely, more loveable, more soul-satis-fying? So you eee this pretended lamp black exposure, becomes a most gratifying and reassuring evidence ot one of the most beautiful truths of spirit materialization. So also, you see, that a person who should go down to the t'andimoniun, armed with a feather to brain the masters of ceremony, would be carrying along with bun altogether too much and and too heavy artillery. .But But we are keeping Dr. Pence waiting. Hear him, and then answer this question: Doesn't Dr. Pence know that Mrs. Stewart and her manifestations are a fraud The Dr. Says: To the Editors of the Evening Gazette:

Iu reply, we would gladly accommodate you'Mr. editor, could wo do so without .spoiling the poetry attached to bo skeptical taste. Sufilee to say that we have enlisted during the war, and no Providential hinderance ^intervening, the seances will continue the same as before your icport appeared. We have entered upon the fourth year of our Stewartship, and have not yet been sufficiently developed to find the fraud so easily discovered, and that too in an increditable short time, by others.

VERSION* OF

THE AFFAIR.

He Pi-«iaonno,«H Rabbi Browan

2i Frasa d,

An item appeared in the GAZETTE yesterday stating that Rabbi Brown had lost a valise at tho St Clair containing somo valuabe manuscripts, and that suit had been commenced in the United States Court for §15,000 damages. On investigation we find the item to have been incorrect in the following particulars:

Dr. Brown never sent a valise to the St. Clair. No bible agent ever tooK Dr. Brown's valise away from the St. St. Clair. Dr. Brown has not commenced a suit in the United States Court, or any other court, and prabablv does not intend to do so.

On the night of tho tenth of November. Dr. Brown and Mr. P. M. King, a bible agent, came together to the St. Clair, having arrived on one of the late trains. Mr. King is a freqhent guest at the St Clair, aud is well known to tho proprietor. Dr. Brown bad no baggage with him, but Mr. King carried a bundle wrapped in paper, this be deposited with the clerk and turned away. The bell boy checked the bundle and placed a duplicate check on the counter. Dr. Brown picked up the check and put it in his pocket. Mr. Spence, tho clerk, who saw the proceeding, thought nothing of it, as tho parties had arrived together and he supposed they were friends, Both took their departure next morning, neither having called for tho bundle. On the following day Mr. King returned and asked for the bundle, He was surprised to lind that it had been checked and declared that he know nothing about the matter. The bundle was delivered to him, and his card substituted for the duplicate check.

About three weeks afterward Mr. Carson received a letter from Dr. Brown, written from Evansville, instructing him to send bv express, a black leather valise, giving the number of the check which had been placed on Mr. King's bundle. Mr. Carson replied promptly that there was no such valise in his house. Dr. Brown shortly after visited the bouse, and exhibited his check, demanding the valise. Of course ho did not get it. He threatened all sorts of law suits, but still Mr. Carson did not scare worth a cent. Finally th® Doctor agreed to settle the matter lor §25, and failing in this,he left the house without paying his bill.

Mr. King, the Bible agent, has not fled the country, but still visits Terre Haute frequently. The night clerk,the bell boy and two policemen were witnesses to tbo transaction ol the check, as related above and are willing to testify to the truth of this statement.

CRIMINAL COURT.

The trial of Roberi Clark, charge'! with tbe murder of Morgan 8. Gunn, was commenced at two o'clock yesterday. Prosecutor Ivelley and W. H. Duncan for the State, aud T, E Knot, for tbe defense. Tbe two sons of Mr. Gunn were examined yesterday afternoon. They were tbe only witness of tbe shooting. They testified that they were passing along tbe road about one fourth of a mile from their home in company with their father when they came upon Clark, setting upon tbe fence at tbe roadside, holdidg ashoU gun in his hands. As soon near enough for speaking, Clark called to Mr. Gunn, "take baek that s— of a b—or I will shot you," following tbe words almost immediately with a shot, which took eflect in their fathers face, killing him instantly. Other teetimony was introduced to prove that Clark had made numerous threats against the Gunus.

The witnesses for the defense who were examined this morning all testified to the good character of the defendant and most of them testified to their good oharacter ot the decease ed. The evidence will probably be closed to-day.

CHAUCER.

COL. R. TV. THOMPSON DELIVERS THE SECOND OF THE HOME COURSE OF LECTURES

TAKING FOR HIS THEME

Tlic Father of English Verse,

The Baptist Church was filled last night by a number of literary persons, who desired. in company with the eloquent speaker of the occasion, to be led back into the misty ages of the past, and hold concourse with Geoffrey Chaucer, lamed author of tho "Canterbury Tales" and first Poet Laureate of "Merrie England." The light shed by this revered progenitor of English literature, though dimmed by three hundred years of time, is yet closely cherished by thousands of students, who longed to hear an Able review of his life, his work and the day in which he wrought. They were not disappointed. There i9 not a person in the State more richly versed in early literature, than Col. Thompson, and certainly none more felicitous in expresion, or pleasing in delivery. The speaker commented at length on the beauty and simplicity oi inoncsylables. They constituted

Iho chief charm of the Chaucer's verse, and of his later disciplein this respect, John Bunyan. No expression has such strength and rffVyiveness as are made up of clear cut, Anglo-Saxon monosylables.

With the invasion ot William tho Conqueror, the Anglo-Saxons, though they had more ol ehivalric romance and brilliant wiitings infused into their natures, and added to their literature, still suffered imminent danger of the complete annihilation of their language. For two hundred years, though their native tongue was despised at court and unseen in poetry, it was cheriseed by numbers of such sterling Saxon character as C'edric, famed of Walter ^Scott, and handed down frosh and unimpaired to the overthrow of the tyrannic yoke. John Wickliff's translation of the of the Bible in to Saxon In 13S0 was the incentive which gave this tongne new vigor.

The speaker then proceeded with a review of tho personal history ot Chaucer in an original and entertaining manner.

Prof. Burt, ol the Normal school will deliver the next lecture in the course. His subject will be, "Spenser and the Elizabethan Ago."

A "WATCH" PUT ON HIM.

Rocart Fijnn of Hulman & Cox's Watched. At the dance last night, on tho waxed pine boards ol Turner Hall, given in honor to Robert Flynn, a presentation of a handsome gold watch was made, Mr. us Linderman delivering the presentation speech. As will be seen,the other omplwyees are suspicious of Robert, He said:

Mis Addresses. To the Editors of the Gazette: COL. THOMPSON'S LECrUTE

Last night at the Baptist church, was greeted by a large audience. He spoke well, as he always does. His subject was "Chaucer."* He bad not much to say about the pioneer English poet, but the greater part of his hour-and-a half's lecture was a tirade against papacy and catholicity.

As Iago was "nothing unless critical," so Col. Thompson is nothing unless anti-Cutholic.

of men in the service of one

employer or of a firm, there is always one who is talked about more than any of the others. In such cases it is neces sary that a watch should be put upon such persons. In this case as I am' of a more malicious disposition

have

been selected so perform this duty,and in order to Keep a better watch upon your actions. Mr. Flynn, iu the name and behalf of the employees of Messrs Hulman & Cox,one of tbe largest firms in the West,I present you this as a token of their regard and esteem,[handing him the watch.]

This putting on ofhand cuffs, so to speak, rather got the better of Mr. F. He was, notwithstanding, able to make tbe following reply: •'Allow me to thank you and my friends for this. All I can say is, that although I have had many 'watches, heretofore, this is tbe first time I ever owned one."

CATHOMCISM,

matter what

subject he speaks on, he manages to pitch into the Pope of Rome. It seems that Chaucer was a follower of Wicliff, and a so called Tallard, and from this fact Col. Thompson managed to brisg in his sectarian bigotry.

Suppose some one ot the gentlemen who are to follow in the course of lec ures should select Alexander Pope (a Ctabolic) as the subject of a lecture, and should make it the occasion for invective against Luther, Calvin and the Protestant religion. This would no doubt be deemrd by many persons a great outrage. Verbum Sap. If Mr, Henderson expects to make the course of lectures on English Literature success, he mu9t certainly regret ihat the groat talents of Col. Teompson should have been employed in stirring up religious strife.
