The Sensation He Produced in Melbourne. Austra-

Believer in Slade,* Who had Been There a Few Days Before, Tries to Bluft the

Professor,

But is Badly Bluffed Himself by the Plucky Hoosier.

From the Melbourne, Australia, Herald, of November the 26th. There was a la/ge attendance at StGeorge's Hall last evening to witness the clever entertainment ol Professor and Mrs. Baldwin. One of the items in the programme was the slate-writing of Dr. Slade, and considerable curiosity was manifested as to how this was done. As will be seen later on, during the expose ot the Slade writing the audience were treated to a sensational item not on£he programme. Professor Baldwin, on Saturday night, had denounced Slade as an imposter and a humbug, and challenged him to a public test of his slatewriting. Last evening, just before exposing the slate-writing, Mr. Baldwin again denounced Slade, and others like him, who prey on the sorrows and sufferings of poor' weak women. Professor Baldwin declared that he discovered Slade's mcdii? operandi by means of a mirror in a locket, and that when in Amcrica he used a table similar to that now on the stage. The table was not unlike that used by Slade, but something smaller. The leaves were" however, supported by an arm, which, when they are let down, lits into a slot and when the leaves are up, the place into which the arm fits

an opening of about

Slade will give a sitting to Mr. Winter, Mr. Terry and myself, 1 wJlgive him £5 for every word he writes on a slate. My manager will give Dr. Slade, or any other medium, iao to come on the 6tage and get any manifestations. Further, the Professor said he would give £50 to every medium who would do anything which he could not do and explain after witnessing it three times. Turning to Mr. Terry he said," We have a simple way of doing these things in our country. When any money is at stake, we say, 'Put up, ut shut up.1 The performance then went on, some persons chaffing Mr. Terry, when Mr. Baldwin at once interferred, and reminded his audience that Mr. Terry was his guest on that stage, and should be treated like a gentleman. During the evening Mr. Baldwin indicated how mediums got their feet free, and stated that he had shown to two gentlemen from the Herald how by means of a pair of "box" shoes he could get his feet out. and yet the shoes remain as firm as though his feet were in them so that any person who kept his feet on top of such shoes would believe that the medium's feet were in them, while they were out producing manifestations all the time.

After the performance, Mr. Winter asked Mr. Tewv whether he had any objection to allow him to again examine Dr, Slade's table. Mr, Terry very courteously offered to show it at once, and to petmit Mr. Baldwin to examine it, and a start was made for that gentleman's place of business in Russell street, which was found closed and in darkness, but which he opened and lighted up. Mr. Terry was most courteous to our representative during the evening, (for which we thank him) and is evidently an earnest and sin

cere believer in Dr. Slade's mediumship and spiritukl phenomena generally. The table was examined and tound to be larger than that used by Mr'. Baldwin. There was, howe.er, no slot in it. The arm, which in Baldwin's table is movable so thai the leavts of the table may be let dowh, is in Slade's table a fixture, so that there is no need of a slot for't to fall into, as the leaves cannot be closed. Baldwin, however, pointed o'ut at once that this fixed arm formed aii excellent support to place a slate against and while it was held there by the li .tie knger of the right hand a few words can be readily and quickly written by the tHumb and forefinger with a sma'l piece of pencil—the smaller the better. He further declared that to-night he would not use the slot in his table, but would do the trick. He said, moreover, that.he would make a declaration, before any magistrate, that he discovered how Slade did the writing by means ©fa locket mirror, and that it was a trick and that the table used by Slade in New York was similar to that which he (Baldwin) had used that evening at St. George'# Hall. Mr. Winter, being a justice of the peace, was prepared to take the declaration, when Mr. Baldwin went on to say that Slade was a swindler and an impositor. At this, Mr. Terry firjed up, and declared that no such language should be used in his room, as he knew well that Slade was a» honest man as Baldwin,* if not more so. Baldwin was ready to reiterate this statement, and TeVry was ready to champion his friend's cause by doing baitl^ for it. Coat sleeves went up a iittle, and matters looked ominous It seemed as though the room was to be cleared for action, and Mr. Winter got ready to take the dying depositions of one of both of t'ne champions. However, the storm blew over, and quiet reigned again. Baldwin asked where Slade was, and was informed that he had left for Bal larat that mourning, and would probably be absent for about a week. Theseanceexposer then repeated his prevoua offer to put up £25 or £30, and pay Slade twiceljie usual fee if he would give a sitting to Mr1 Winter, Mr. Terry and himself and also give to Mr. Slade five pounds per word, for every word he wrote upon a slate while held by him (Baldwin). Further, to tie two slates together with a

four inches into which a small slate can be placed, and bit of string, and to give slade fivepounds held while the writing is done. Mr

Baldwin stats? that tablos of a smaller kind are much used in America, but that the slot or opening was not necessary for the performance ot the trick. Mr. A. P. Martin sat at the table, and the audience saw how easily the slate-writing was done. The sound of a pencil writing was produced, as the Herald stated some time 6ince it could be, by the finger* nail. The illusion was complete, and the sitter at the table with the protestor was much puzzled, while the audience were thoroughly enlightened. After the ope ation Mr. Terry at whose premises Dr. Slade performed, and who was on the stage as one of the comn.itt'ie, rose, and said that the earlier part of the entertainment was a fair representation of the Davenport seance, but that the slate-writing was but a miserable imitation of Dr. Slade's seances, and that Mr. Baldwin had. made misstatements about Dr. Slade further, that there was no slot in Dr. Slade's table that he had a larger slate, which was covered with writing. Mr. Winter, who sat in the body of the hall, said that he and another pfessman had attended Slade's performances on three occasions, and had arrived at the conclusion, published at the time, that he whole affair was a clever trick that Professor Baldwin's expose was a fair duplication of the slatewriting which he (the speaker) witnessed at Slade's. That there was no slot in Slade's table, but that Mr. Baldwin had just stated and had demonstrated to him in private, that a slot was not necessary that the slates he brought to Slade were small, ahd that at two seancts only two or three words were written on the slate, 6uch as "We will try ""W-e cannot that these words were very indistiactlv written but that at the third dlance, in the evening, at which three persons besides Dr. Slade were present, a(Jong message was given on a_slate picked up by Dr. Slade from behind him, and that it was the unanimous opinion of the three investigators that that message, which was a general one, and written clearly and weii, was on the slate before it was used by Dr. Slade After Rev. Winter sat dow.i. Mr. Baldwin said the discussion could not then be continued, but that he would be glad to pay half the expen-es of that or any other hall for Sunday evening, and would discuas spiritualistic 'phenomena with Mr. Terry ^r any one 'else He then took from hi6 pockets a roll of notes, and said "I have here £25 or £30. I wi.l place this sum in the hands of any re=pcciable man, and if Dr.

fnr word

he. wrote withm the two

for every word he wrote within the two slates. Baldwin pointed out that as Slade worked for money—so much per sitting —he v^as afforded an opportunity of making a considerable sum, if his manifestations are not the result of trickery and fraud. One of the spiritualists present, a thorough believtr in Slade, thought this a fair offer, and considered that the seance should be arranged tor. The questiin of Dr. Slade's manifestations now narrows itself down to a very 6mall point. Baldwin declares that the writing can be done by pressing the slate against the arm of Slade's table, and we have ascertained by experiment that this can be'done. Tod° this, however, it would be necessary that Slade's hand, with the slate on it, and a portion of his arm, should b-. under the table. The believers in Slade, of whom there were two present^ declared that at no time is his hand out of sight. Our representatives, one and all, aver thatj at every sfeance at which they attended, Slade's hand and aim were under the table for some seconds, under pretense of asking the spirits if they "would write for the gentlemen," and that, during this time, there was noticeable a peculiar gurgling and coughing noise in Slade's throat, which was no doubt adopted partly to drown any sound raised by the pencil writing, and partly to distract the attention of the sitters. As Slade is still giving sittings, t'uere should

be no difficulty in ascer

taining whether or not his hand, with a slate in it is ever under the table, even for a second. If it be, then the trick is very easy, as any one can write a few words \n the manner shown by Baldwin. If long messages are wanted, a pin, spirits of wine, or sleight of hand and cheek are all that' are necessary to produce them. These are only attempted when believers are present. Our representatives say they are not favored with a slate full ot writing. v?* *4

A BIG STIFF.

A MjVN (APPARENTLY FROZEN TO DEATH RETURNS TO LIFE., From tfee Joplin (Mo.) Herali.

From a lady who arrived at the St. James hotel Saturday from the central portion of Arkansas, we learn the particulars of an affair which possesses many features of interest, and to tke medical profession in particular. The lady left home a* the beginning of the present cold snap, with the intention of coming to Joplin. There being no o'her conveyi ance, she was compelled to make the entire trip by stage. The only passenger in the stage with her was ,,a man very thinly clad. While crossing the Boston mountains he complained very much of the cold, and \n fact the weather was remarkably cold, even for the top of those mountains. After awhile he apparently fell asleep. Arriving at the station on 'the north of the mountains the driver attempted to awaken the passenger, but to his horror found him froesn stiff and apparently dead. He was taken out of the hack and placed in a roony which was rather cold, though not sol low as the freezing point by several degrees. The lady stopped at the station until next day, and Just as she was preparing to resume her journey, was surprised! to learn that signs of life had bee'. detected in the supposed dead man, who was to have been buried that morning. True enough signs of life were plain to he observed, and by lively rubbing with flannels saturated with whiskey for about an hour he wasable tospeak. When the lady left he was fast recovering from his stuuer, and she has no doubt by this time he has fullv recovered. Had he continued in that condition three hours longer he would doubtless have been buried, as all thought he was dead. Being placed in a room of just the right temperature no doubt assisted his recovery.

Now wait the warm and fragrant spring, When'bees will hum and birds will sing, And bursting bud to bloom aspire— John! Dump some coal upon that fire! —[New York Graphic.

A WOMAN'S WORDS.

Voict and Their Meaninqs.

I read, not long since, a very pretty -and significant legend of a fairy queen, who was so very plain thai the hearts of her beauty-loving subjects became estranged from her, and she was in great danger of losing her crown. In this dilemma the troubled queen cast about her for some means of winning them back to allegiance.

Her case seemed hopeless till, in a moment of insDiration, she bethought her to cultivate her voice. This she did so patiently and persistently that she was at last successful, and her rebellious sub jects, in listening to the entrancing sweetness of her voice, forgot her personal defects and again gladly hailed Her queen of the fairv court. ^The reading of this led me to reflect on the many dtfferent kinds of voices we hear, and to speculate as to the possibility of classifying them. Alter all, I wonder if there is anything in the voice which enables an "expert" to guess at its owner's disposition 1 once heard a lecturer declare that he would give the prominent traits of character after hearing persons speak in their natural voicc and he actually did get off some clever hits on .those who were so vain, or so fun loving, as to try the test publicly. But, of course, the private opinion of his audience was that he had posted himself pretty thoroughly beforehand.

It is undoubtedly a fact that there is a vast difference between acultivated and an uncultivated voice. And by this I do not mean one which has been trained by a vocalist or an elocutionists, but only the natural voice of a cultured or an uncultured person. So universally true is this that, for one who has thought on the subject at all, nothing is easier then to assign people to one or the other of these classes, merely by hearing them speak.

Appearances ire often deceptive. Voices very seldom are so. How often weheafsome such remark as this. "I thought him a gentleman till I listened to his conversation, and then

A case occurs to me which is just to the point. While traveling by rail, a few years ago, between Vincennes and St. Louis, my attention was attracted by a lady who sat near inc. She was young and beautiful enough to have been a heroine of romance. I believe it is -Shakespeare who says "the eye must be fed." This woman was certaiuly lovely enough to afford a feast to the eyes of even a sister woman. I did not wonder at the many admiring glances which fell upon her. She was well, even elegantly dressed. Her traveling companions'peemed perfectly proper and respectable people, and every outward circumstance bPtokened her a lady very highly favored of fortune as well as by nature. Who. could guess from her appearance that she was not to the "manor born" and '-wearing the purple" of intellectual as well as physical adornment. By chance, however, I heard her address a few words to the elderly lady -whortf»she-called "Aunt*" and her voice betrayed her. It was not loud nor yet harsh, but it had a quality of coarseness, for the description of which I can find no better word than uncultivated. And when she presently requested some one to hand her "them oranges" her identity was immediately established. She was a remarkably pretty member of the numerous family of Shoddy, which became so well known during and af'er our civil ^war.

Voices we find may readily be divided into two great classes, viz.: pleasant and unpleasant, though we are not always able to determine the qualities by reason of which they are so called. For woman the "low, sweet' voire" is thought, by some, to be indespensably necessary to well-bred and lady like manners. This, however, depends considerably. One of the sweetest-voiced ladies of my acquaintance is not particularly low»voiced but so rich, and full, ahd mellow are her tones, and so nicely modulated, that it is a pleasure to listen to them, even in the very commonplace and often discordant act of calling her child in from its play.

And ihe natural music of her conver sation—which by the way flows quite as freely as the sex is generally credited with—might, without affectation, be likened to the pleasant tipple of a brook. The possessor of so agreeable a voice, whether it be natural or the result of training, has no cause to envy those who practice vocal gymnastics, the effect of which, is more frequently to astonish than to please.

A pleasant and musical voice is often the gift of nature, but where nature has failed to be bountiful in this particular art, her handmaiden will certainly compensate us for the neglect "if she be properly treated. The snbject is certainly well worthy the attention ot those who are desirous of pleasing.

But to proceed a little further.

Ttl

is the even, firm voice of the man who thoroughly understands himself and his business, and therefore is not afraid of making mistakes at every step

The hesitating, inquiring voice of the one whose want of capacity, or lack of training, has doomed him to a place in the ranks of the incapables. The loud, selfasserting voice which proclaims its owner an egotist of the first wateri- The dep rt eating voice of the toady, who does not quite understand what he is expected to say, and who is vi ry anxious to find out so that he may hasten to say it-

Then there is the •ily insinuating voice] which reveals the hypocrite in every'

time as thef'can find a good opportunity* to scratch. Then let people beware, far no one needs hope to escape.

Thus, to the industrious student of human nature, the peculiarities of voice and manner are each significant, and of^en furnish a reliable clue to character.

Sayings and Doings in Which Ladies Take Special Interest.

Fashion Matters and Gossip Gen erally.

ECONOMY IN DRESSING. N Ladies have frequently asked us to recommend a style of dress which, .wliile it will not look as outre and ridiculous as Mrs. Tillotson's, will yet require little time or thought in its getting up. The Princess costume, now so fashionable, has been in vo^ue several years under various names and modifications. It has been called the Gabrielle, Redington, and Watteau, and has always proved neat, tasty and serviceable, and for those w'ho have little time or monej to spare from other and more serieus purs jits is especially desirable. Made up in black or dark-colored cashmere, and trimmed tastily with banks or pleatings of silk of the same shade. A suit will always look stylish, and with care will last at least two seasons, and can be worn on almost any occasion. The Breton suits will no doubt continue in favor, and they are exceedingly pretty and suitable for street or business wear. We recommend all wool suits for ladies who have neither time or taste for elaborate dressing, as wool goods never fade, and one dress will outwear at least three of any other fabric. A Brenton costume made up in cashmere, debege, or camel's hair, and trimmed with bands of silk or worsted galoon, and ornamented with buttons, is a safe investment for fall wear for ordinary occasions, and a princess dress or polonaise in the same fabrics* will scarcely lsok oldfashioned for some time to come. In fact, a lady needs but three suits to dress handsomely and well, namely, a Breton costume for the street, princess dress for house wear, and a black silk for best. As we are among those who believe that the vagaries of fashion keaps the wheels of trade in motion, we never preach economy in this direction. Let those who have beauty, taste and means adopt every change proposed by the fickle dame, in the comfortable belief that while gratifying what some may call their vanity and love of display, they are yet benefitting their working sisters to whom every change in the fashionable world brings remunerative employment. Better for the money earned by the gratification of harmless vanity than the pittance doled out by the grudging hand of charity. ---[Philadelphia Item. v:u

A BEAUTIFUL AFTERNOON DRESS, if one wishes something original and striking, is made of neiguise cerise and white. The princess polonaise is not verv long, reaching to the plaiting of the black velvet underskirt, which is shown about a quarter of a yard. The polonaise is cut out in points on the bottom, headed with a band ahout a finger wide, of black velvet, embossed in cerise. The fulness of the polonaise in front is set on quite scant under a similar band, which simulates a basque long in front, but turning sharply ascends to the hips, and there takes a sharp turn down the back of the skirt, where is lost in the tiie fulness of the separate* piece, which is caught loOeely behind in the middle of the skirt by two large loops, and left hanging in wide ends. This separate piece is finished with very elegant wide worsted fringe of cerise and white, while the front breadth is headed with an embossed band. The corsage is cut decollete on the shoulders, ending rather pointedly, the sides but not the front trimmed with the bands taking a sharp turn on the shoulder seam and then joined across by a narrow black velvet cording to match the front over the corsage. A black velvet embossed band starts from the back of the neck, and narrows down to within a finger of the cording a deep collar, open decollete, with finally worked chemisetre and ruf fles at the waiat to match. The sleeves are of neigeuse, with a deep tight cuff formed of the embrossed band, and a small piece of bla&k velvet set in on.the inside of the cuff to fill up, while the outside is finished with round black velvet buttons, which also button the front with the polonaise.

HOUSEKEEPING AS A FINE ART. A genuine talent for housekeeping is as rare as it is beautiful. We have lately realized that fact whilst visiting for a short time in a well ordered household. Ornamental specimens ot the busy little housewife's geoius meet one at every turn, and we wonder at the taste and ingenuity that produced 6uch pretty effect from such common place materials as worsted and card-board, canvasfand silk. Her snowy table linen, pretty china and highly polished silver, adds greatly to the enjoyment of a meal, and the well-cooked, palatable food, shows her to be mistress of the cuisine.

The drudgery of housework is r.o compared to refined hoiisemore to be compared to

When we hear the firm, even tones of the business man, we naturally look for an erect and dignified carriage, which will enable him to look his fellow creatures honestly and squarely in the face. The hesitating speech^of the one who is not quite sure of himself or of his reception, usually announces a person with a shuffling gait. The egotistical voice belongs to the man whose walk asserts the fact that everybody ought to clear the way for him. The smooth, unctuous accent of the hypocrite accompany a6lv, creeping, cat-like step, and a sidewise glance of thecve. Very near of kin to this person is the soft-stepping, meek mannered, purring gossip of either sex, who go about with sharp claws thus sheathed in velvet till such a

Men seldom realize the difficulties con nected with housekeeping, and the tact and ingenuity required to keep things in working order they seem to think that any ordinary man or woman can provide a satisfactory meal. We remember, on one occasion, the women 01 the household having gone upon a pleasure excursion, the gentlemen of the family, two in number, promised to have prepared, on their return, a sumptuous supper. What was their surprise and disgust on arriving, hungry and tired, to find the fire out, and their generous providers supping heartily off a muton bone, which they foand in the pantry. It is, however, rather too much to expect that either man or woman, connected with outside business, will feel like taking upon them, in their leisure mo

ments, the onerous duties of housekeeping.—[Exchange. "V WIDOWS IN INDIANA.

Jaipur still keeps ahead of other native btates. According to the Ajmir paper the Maharajah of Jaipur has determined upon eradicating from his State the odious custom by which Hindoo widows are prohibited from re-marrying. To carray out this laudable purpose, His Highness has appointed a council, consisting of four Pundits and one European, who are well* ver9ed in Sanskirt. It will be the duty of these gentlemen to explain to the people that the re-marry-ing of their widows is nowhere prohibited by the Shastars, and that such marriages will be recognized by the State as lawful and commendable.—[Indian Mail

WOMEN VOTING IN UTAH. The Liberal ladies of Utah will remenibtr that they are called upon to bestir themselves to-morrow equally with their Mermon sisters, who support this blighting theocracy with servile and unintelligent votes.

A MODEST YOUNG LADY.

A youn^ lad whom they knew came along with a boat, and they induced him to take them in. He put out into the pond, and the girls thinking it funny to rock the boat, went at it and tipped her over. They sank twice before help reached them, and then all the clothes were torn off from one of the young women in the effort to save her. She went down again, and positively refused to be saved till they could get something to put around her, which was finally accomplished, and she was hauled out.—[Oswego Palladium.
