THE "DAYENPORT SOYS.”
SPIRITUALISM, CREDULITY, HUMBUGGERY,
BLASPHEMY, FOLLY AND TOMEOOLERY.
One 'Williani Shakspeare, poacher and play
wright, -who -was born npon the bants of the
Avon, and died there A. D. 1616, “was,” as the
Western editor generously said, “a writer of ac
knowledged ability and no little originality,” and
withal a pretty gooi jndge of human nature and
at times somewhat prophetic in his sayings. We
were impressed forcibly with this fact last night,
as we sat npon a front bench at the Assembly
Building, waiting to get fifty cents’ worth of spir
itualism, per the “Davenport Boys. ” Theatoie
said tchahspeaie must have had a glimmering of
some such scene when he made (Jlendower say:
1 ‘I can call spirits from the vasty deep. ’ ’
And we sympathized with tlie darederil Hotspur
in his reply: r
‘ ‘And BO can I and so can any man: but Kill then
come *' * l? ’ .*
,_Tbe ! ‘DaTenport Beys* * improve upon the
Welch knight, for they call their spirits from any
where, and they do come to them in a cl-otKes vress '
Bntoi that anon.
WHO. THE * ‘DAVEKPORT BOYS’ * ARE.
The"«‘Davenport 'Boys'* aie “boys.” upon the
same pxmciple.of adolescence that Arlemud Ward
■was »*a G ushing Youth of lorty-seyen summers. * *
They are .what used to be known in our own
youthful days as “Bowers* hovs,” that is to say
moustached individual? ot about twenty-five, and
juetsuch “boys 5 ’ as Uncle Seym-proposes to call
upon to shouldei a musket on pr about the tenth
proximo. They are good looking fellows enough,
and hail, we opine, from somewhere Down East.
TUB MOUVS OTRRANPI.
At the northern end of the main saloon of the
AE6embJyßnildingi«iacarpeipdrplatform about four
feet m height from the floor. Upon the back end
of this structure are three trestles for all the world
like those used by carpenters when they hare a
job of sawing to do. Upon these trestles a fix
ture, stiongly resembling a wardrobe, is placed
This wardrobe, cr clothes-press, is about six feet
in height, about the same in. breadth, and some
foorleetin depth. In this interesting piece of
furniture it a frame work intended for the “Boys”
to sit upon. This is perforated with holes for the
convenience of lashing down the youths in their
seats after they have been properly pinioned. In
the space between them were a violin, a belly l a
tamborine and a brass fire horn, all considerately
placed theie lor the use of-the.“spirits." The
front of the wardrobe is fitted with three doors, in
the centre of which, near the top, is a diamond
shaped aperture, about nine inches in diameter,
covered wi'h a curtain upon the inside.
• The infant phenomena being tied by a committed
appointed by the audience, the doors of the clothes
press are closed, and the Spirits immediately com
mence kicking up a row inside. There is,first a
knocking, then comes a jingling of the dinner bell,
then a scattering of things out through the hole in the
door, then a playing upon|the tambourine, a thrum
ming upon the guitar, and finally, about the time
that,one of the “Boys" can get nd of the ropes
about his wrists, there is something like an at
tempt at a tune upon the fiddle with tamborine ac
companiments. Tin ally the doors are thrown
suddenly open and the “Bovs" are discovered
sitting as demure and innocent in theiT places as
tboogh they were two year old imp* of darkness.
The next thing in the programme is the untyin®'
of the infants by the spirits, and the subsequent
tying of them up as good as new bv the same mys
terious agency.
WHAT WAS DONE LAST SIGHT
As we hare already intimated, we took fifty
cents worth of Davenport Spiritualism last night,
and we went early and seemed a front seat. The
hall was pretty well filled,the great majority being
men, in search of knowledge or fun; while there
was a enfficient sprinkling of Believers among the
audience to vindicate the truthfulness of the an
cient adage-abont a certain class of individuals not
being all dead yet. On the occasion of a previous
exhibition, some persons N who did not relish blas
phemy, and whose stomachs revolted at humbug
gery when the dose was too large and too gross,
had given the “Boys" some trouble by their in
quisitiveness and suggestions, and to avoid a repe
tition ot such scenes, the following notice was
scattered about upon the benches last night:
1 ‘Notice—ln consequence of previous Inter*
rupiton* audio prevent further confusion the audi
ence must remain quiet during the evening.
1 ‘No propositions or dictations allowed from the
audience or committee.
“All loud discussion* prohibited during the
Manifestations.
“The Mediums reserve the right to reject the
Committee atany time they discover a disposition
T.® . a * unfairly or refuse to comply with the con
ditions governing the Manifestations.
“N. B. Those in the audience unwilling to com
ply with the above, are respectfully required to
retire previous to the commencement of the Mani
festations and receive their admission fee at the
Office. G. S. li&OEY, Agent,
. “For Davenport Bovs.” ‘
when seven and a half o’clock came around
and it was supposed that the spirits had got through
■with their suppers, and -were ready for work, Mr
I<“cey mounted the platform and made a speech,’
WHAT ME. LACEY SAID.
Mr. Lacey is a tall, slim, adroit, quick-witted
but atrociously ignorant and impudent hind of an
individual. His face is a mixture of German and
‘ * Yankee’ ’ and there was a faint flavor of German
in his theories. He was handsomely dressed In
fine black clothes’ and carried off his talk with
amazing assurance. He said (and we do notattempt
to revise bis bad grammar and odd mingling of
numters, tenses and moods:)
“The present audience though not so large as
some we bave bad is an intelligent one, and we
hope will keep quiet and witness wbat we have to
show to-night. I do not pretend to explain these
manifestations, which is io mysterious and which

Just so it is tliaf the spirits requires certain laws

add hpfore. we begin, that we are notahnmbag: we
can aflord to hire this hall ior six months and give
lrte exhibitions, and let me say we would rather
, do Jbat than have the rowdy rabble that has at
tended one or two evening* and have interfered
with the manifestations. Those who cannot keep
quiet may retire. Those who cannot keep off the
stage and who intermeddles with the box had bet
tergo away and get their money at the door. ’ *
V \l tav , e glveu above as much of the mixture of
cool humbug, blasphemy and bad grammar as will
snow the an\mus of Mr. Lacey’s remarks, but no
cun do justice to the brazen way in which he
glibly uttejed his address, and the positive effron
teiy with which he faced tbe audience.
THE FUN BEGINS.
\Ve thought 'while we were listening to this
rade of blasphemy and bad grammar, that if tho
epirlt-of Lindley Murray was within hearing, Mr*
Lacy would get a rap over the head; but the spirit
oi the late Mr. M. did not interfere and so the fun
went or.
The first thing in order was the appointment of a
committee to go upon the stage, and two gentle
men, whose impartiality'conld not be doubted,
were appointrd from among the audience. After
the usual lashing to the seats had been performed,
Hr. Leon, one oi the committee, produced a pair
of handcuffs, which he asked' permission to put
upon one of the ‘ ‘Boys. * * This was more than
was bargained for, and the “Boy*’ looked glum
and embarrassed. He finally consented io the ar
rangement, provided the key of the iron ruflles
was left inside the wardrobe, within reach of the
Spirits!, Tbis compromise was agreed to and the
key was sinck in a crack m the top of the ward
robe. (P. S.—We put ou these same handcuffs
subsequently, and unlocked them with our own
hands with the proper key.)
The “ Boys’ ’ were lashed in their places, appa
rently very Becnrely, the doors of the clothes press
Were closed, the lights were turned down very
low, and presently the racket commenced. Haps
loud and frequent were heard inside, tho bell was
jingled, a whits hand appeared for an instant at
the aperture in the central door, the brass fire horn
was pitched out through the hole on to the stage;
then came a clattering upon the tambourine, a
•thrumming upon the violin and a grand Ticket
generally. Then the doors were thrown open and
I .there sat the two lovely youths looking very iano
! cent to be sure, but in a profuse perspiration, and,
as Hr. Leon said, >vHh their pulses in a condiuon
which indicated active exertioa. The next part
of the performance was very like this, tho white
bond making its appearance at the hole almost at
the very instant tnat the door was closed. This
elicited a very unspiiitual remark upon the inside
to the following effect': “You did it too quick that
time! 1 * This was overheard by Dr. Leon, who
reported the fact to the audience, raising a great
laugh thereby. The “Boys,” backed by the irre
pressible Lacey, squirmed out of this expose; but
the explanation convinced nobodv except those
who were “ devoutly willing to be blind.”
The next thing in order was. the untying of the
youths by the spirits and the subsequent tying of
Than by the same agency. Tbis trick was very
adroitly done, and so the performance cl?sed
Tfce exhibition convinced us of several taings. /
First —That no person beside the “Boys” was
inhide the wardrobe when the doors were
Sezcnd —l£atno spirits were there unless/they
came of distilled rye. / .
Third —l hat by tome ingenious mechanism the
boys, seats and all, were elevated at pleasure to
near - 1 he top of the wardrobe. /
Fourth —That by some iriekone of the adolescents
could readily rid himself of his bonds,' said
and again lash Loth his br&ther and hiirselL
.JiffA-Thut’ the exhibition was a blasphemous
and scandalous fcumtfug. >
bignor Bliu would consider himself a bungler
if be-could not excel thy “Boys” in the best of
their tricks,, and he does perform twenty every
evening, that are much more skillful and incom
prehensible. /
THE FAROE.
Alter the playcame the larce, This was a »‘pri
vate exhibition, ” given in an adjoining room, by
a^“r * *ay, of Chicago. All hands were to enjoy
the privilege .of direct personal coo tact with the
spirits, .and for this each individual was to pay
one dollar. "We were ‘‘in’’ for the whose
show, and so, having forked over our
greenback and received our ticket, •wo
accompanied about fifty.nine other victims of
misplaced confidence to the-appointed rendezvous
with the ghosts. Here we found a small room into
which all hands were crowded, leavinga semi
circular space in front, in which was a table
covered wnh the trumpery that had been in the
wardrobe. This table .was flanked with a chair
upon either side, and these chairs were occupied
by the Fay and one of the “Bovs.” These youth*
having been lashed in their seat*, and their hands
being properly tied behind them, the modest Lacey
announced that all persons present must
take hold ol hands so as to preserve an “unbro
ken current,” and that all must remain perfectly,
quiet. The lights were theD extinguished and the
apartment was left in pitchy darkness. In a mo
ment ihe spirits weTe heard fumbling over the
table, a thrummißg upon a guitar was heard aud
the instrument seemed to be traveling around the
room, over the head* of the audience. By and bv
it come sailing, along over our own - he.nd;
we had before irreverently broken ‘the mys
tic circle by dropping „the digits of onr
immediate neighbors, and 5 with both arm*
stretched above our head, we felt around for ih»
magic instrument. The spirit that held itmus*
have been unaccountably blind, for he broughti
into direct contact with our left hand; with the
latter we seized the butt end of the guitar, and with
our dexter paw we made a grab tor the nariv that
had hold oi the other end of the instrument.' The
spirit was too quick for us, for he dropped it like
a hot potato, sind got out of the way. Had we
got a fair grip of the wrist we sought for, there
would have been oi.e spirit durance until a
light was procured.
■ft ok ok np the tune where the ghoit had left off.
and the credulous among the audience murmured
■ n onderfnl! in tones of deep admiration. The
tambourine then .tarted off on a spiritual exploring
expedition, and after a while it went Bhvine into a
coiner oyer the heads of the dupes. We then had
an interval of lamplight and Lacey, and the scat
tered lnsuromenU having been gathered up (the
spirits being unable to find them), the show re
commenced. About this time our left hand neigh
bor, who was one of those individuals who take
nothing for granted, asked some quca'ions aud
made rome suggestions that intimated donbl, and
he immediately became the victim of the ire of
Lacey. Talk of putting,the offender out, giving
him his money back, Ac., followed, but neither
was done, ar d the spiritual work went on. After
this all tbetfiddles, tambounues, Ac , that were
played out aud were thrown away by the spirits
were thrown in the direction of our fiTeuding
mend. We managed to dodge the missiles and
nobody was hurt.
The performance closed with a general howling,
rapping and throwing around of things, and this
over, lamp-light and Lacey came onco more. This
show was even more absurd than that in the main
saloon, for in the latter there was partial light.
As lor the tying of the two mediums in tbeirchairs,
when half a dozen confederates had their hands
ail£ i free to use them, in the utter darkness
that prevailed, it was too ridiculous.for grown
men to tolerate. It was about as brilliant an idea
as to bar and double lock the front door and leave
the windows and hack door open.
A SPIRIT OP T3IK SAME OP JOIOf.

knowledge of, there tvafea fitness between their
names and their condition and to ;ation. Oberon

Nothing of importance occurred until they «\w
approaching in the distance a large body of men,
and, supposing them to be rebel soldiers, they hid
themselves, intending to remain concealed'until
the party patted; but on a nearer view they
discovered that they were Union prisoners uuder
a guard, and they atoxic*; determined to join them,
as they supposed thailrom the direction they were
taking they were on their way to Camp Parole for
exchange. And so it proved, for, after quietly
joining the party unobserved, they found that
they weieeu their way from Houston to Shrete.

Procuring six days’ rations, and parsing them
telvcs off as rebel soldiers returning to their regi
ments at Monroe, thev passed boldly out of
Shreveport, and started'in the direction of the Red
nv*r, taking a due eatt course. Afteramarh of
flftetn miles they succeeded in reaching Red river
that evening, and were rowed over to the other
side by a slave, who furnished them with sapper,
and directed them to a cotton pen, wh«wc they
passed the night Tory comfortablv, considering
that the weather was very cold, and that they had
but one light blanket each.
On the 15th day of January thoy arrived at Red
Shoot Eayou, which is almost as'wide as the Red
river itself. They then took off their clothes and
started up the bank of the bayou for the purpose
of finding Roincihiug to cross on, bet did not suc
ceed until they had walked three tuilP3 when they
saw a slave working in a piece of cleared ground.
On learning tha’ they wished to cross he promised
to row them over in a skiff in the evening, and kept
his word. r
Continuing their journey, they.airived at "Wind
parish, seventy-Jive miles northwest of Natchez.
Two days after they arrived at Catuhonla par
ish, distant from Natchez about sixty miles. Herd
they found an outspoken Union sentiment, and to
a thorough Union maii they *tated who they were.
This man directed them where to stop the follow!
ing night, furnishing them with. food, and bade
them ‘ ‘God speed.” On arriving at the house of
hie friend they webe directed to a'camp of Union
men concealed in the brush. They were com
posed of deserters, persons fleeing from the con
scription, and Union men, and all were on their
way to Natchez.
Here they remained until three o’clock the fol
lowing day, when they were piloted to a second
camp, some miles distant, where they remained a
few hours, when one of the party volunteered to
act as scout, and pilot teem them through the rebel
picsets. 1 liia was accomplished, and in two days
alter the whole party entered Natchez.

-s?rA\t A V *v on th * B,ai r of the rebel General
V\ illiam L. Hunter, was brought in a prisoner
to-day. He was captured on the 30th ult. Gen.
Hunter,is a son of Senator Hunter, of Virginia,
and has been assigned for the present to an Indian
brigade, under Cooper. Captain Russell was
going ‘O join him with a small escort when he was
captnTed. He is a young mau of fine appearance
and determined bravery. He says but little as to
the movements and strength of the enemy,
l Price is still at Long Wood, west of Camden.
Be has superseded Holmes in command of the
rebel Department of Arkansas.
The rumor that Qaantrell led the enemy in tho
recent action on the Arkansas, is a canard.
Shelby was in commaud Captain Kussel saw
Qnantrell about thr*e weeks ago crossing Bosuf
river, in Northwest Louisiana. He had about 100
rmen with him t aH dressed in Federal officers* uni
forms of Tariousranlr,ljom Maj. Gen. down. They
dashed into the water on a gallop, four abreast,
and swam the river without breaking column.
Dick Yager had another hundred of his men some
forty or fifty niiles distant. Q,uantrell was prepar

The First Ward Mystery.— The evidence
h’krn yesterdny by Coroner Taylor in the case of
James Hackett, soldier who met with sneha
mysterious death, ; is published elsewhere in to
day s paper. The affhir is assuming more and
more the appeal ance of a murder. At a former
meeting, of the jury, it will be remembered, the
prisoner, Augustus Ford, according to the evi
dence was seen in company with a soldier on
second street, below ’Wharton, about eleven
o clock on Friday night. The testimony of yester
day show s that at a few minutes before‘eleven
o clock on * riday night Ford purchased an ounce
°* a*. Gen. Iteilly’s drug store at Second
and Wharton streets, and said that he wanted it
for a sick brother, but his mother testified that she
had never sent Augustus for laudanum or medi
cine, althongh she - always kept the former in the
bouse. These facts tend to raise a suspicion that
Puckett was, poisoned. Tir. Shapleigh says that
d narcotic poison such as laudanum would not be
detected by a post mortem, examisation. The
stomach of the deceased has been taken out. and it
is probable that an order of the Court will be ob
tained to have a chemical analysis of the contents
made. This will unravel much of the mystery
which has heretofore surrounded the case.
A Serious Charge. —Before Aid.
yesterday afternoon, a young woman named Mary
. Jane Bolen was charged with arson, in haringset
fire to a room in the hbuse of Mrs. A. Colemau
No. 101 North Nineteenth street, on Suuday las*
and also with having stolen apocfcel-book contain
ing S»3!. The testimony showed that the girl had
been living in the house about a week, and on the
night that ihe fire took place she told another do
mesiic in the bouse that she was going to bed, bat
in a short time she went down stairs and gave the
alarm of tire. The flames were extinguished be
fore much damage had been done. On cxaminiii o,
ihe room it was* found that the doer of a wardrobe
in which the pocket-book was had been broken
open. The. aroused subsequently acknowledged
having taken the money. She was held to bail to
answer.
Bounty Meeting.— The representatives of
the different Ward Bounty committees held

tranfacted was in reference to the fnnd of ft 13,000

ofiered to distribute among tne Wards accordiug to
the quoia of t-ach. A**it is difficult to learn offi
cially the quota, it was stated that the Commis
sion woubi be governed hr any basis which th s
rateting might suggest, and accordingly a state
ment, published some time since estimatin'- the
quota under the call for 300,(KM in n at«, was
ndcptej as a basis for the distribution. The com
mitiee 10-wait upon General Hancock and invito
him to address a public meeting of the citizens of
Philfuiel* Liu, reported that the General would bu
very happy to respond to th* invitation, but could
not fix a time and place for his address.
Haydn's Oratorio or tiik Creation. The
sal* of tickets for this Oratorio at the Academy of
music, on Saturday evening next, is progressing
at Martten’s, Gould’s, and Ashmead ,*c Evans’s?

served seats is fifty cents. The opportunity of'
listening to this magnificent production of Havdn’s
genius, executed its it will be, by the entire Handel
and Haydn Society, assisted by the GermanU Or
chestra, will doubtless gather a crowded and in
telligent audience. Y. r e predict a rich treat for all
who may he so fortunate as to procure tickets.
