The truth of the following is vouched for by the San Francisco Chronicle : When Foster, the Spiritualist medium first came to this city and hung out his shingle at the Grand Hotel, he was an object of much curiosity. Among those who went to witness the marvelous mani festations which it was claimed were dai ly: made was a well known gentleman, whose name we are not authorized to give. The gentleman bad heard of the slip;of papdr trick, and believing that be knew a thing or two mere than Foster did, he resolved to play a sharp game with him. Before going -to the medium's room he wrote a name on a slip of paper, which be wrapped and folded tightly in a pi of tinfoil. When he got there, in col pany with several friends, he banded little rolled' tinfoil to Foster, mid awa events. The little paper inside the tinfoil co) tabled merely the full naive of the gent! man's mother—her maiden and marri name. Foster took it, pressed it to ; forehead, in that dreamy, listless way has; and then laid it on the table. Pz eutly he said, "Yes, sir, I have a messi for you. There is the spirit of a lady he who wishes me to write you this message, Here Foster took up a pencil, and • many jerks and quirks, wrote : "Do not remove the remains of y( father and myself. Let us rest where are., Your heart is right, but your jut. 11 meet is wrong. The message was signed by both maiden name and married name of gentleman's m'ther. The gentleman tk ed as white as a sheet, for he at once cognized the message as having been teti in the name of his deceased mot He had Jong been intending to remove remains and that of his father from Eastern cemetery to his vault at L Mountain. He had not thought of 1 matter at all that day. Foster had M er seen him before. Neither Foster any one, o else—not even the gentleman wife—knew what the mother's .maie name had been, hence the clearness, strange outline of the message, and, abt all, the aptness with which it referred his project with regard to the remains his parents, gave the astonished gentler something to think about for days to ct He did not wait for an ,answer to _ tinfoil puzzle, but started away very ink in the condition of the young man 3 went to church to scoff, but finally c 4 eluded to remain and pray. Next day the gentleman met his frk the Hon. Chas. E. De Long, who in just returned from Japan. To him he told his remarkable experience of the day before. De Long laughed at him for his apparent credulity, and scouted the idea that spirits had anything to do .with the message. Nettled at this, the gentleman induced Mr. De Long to go with him to tee Foster and judge for himself. That night they both, in company with Howard. Colt, called at the Grand Hotel, and were shown into Foster's room. Mr. De Long was wLolly unknown to Foster.— They all sat down to the table, and after Foster had smoked a while at his cigar, he said : "I can only get one message to night, that is for a person nati:ed Ida.— Do either of you know who Ida is?" Mr. De Long looked at Foster with ra ther a startling look, and said : "Well, yes, I rather *ink I do. My wife's name was Ida." "Well," said Foeter, "then this message is for her, and it is important. But she will have to come here and receive it." This was just enough to excite De Long's curiosity, and after endeavoring in vain to get to reveal the mes sage to him, he -consented to bring . his wife the next night to.receive the import ant communication in person. Accord ingly the next evening the same two, ac companied by Mrs. De Long, were usher ed into Foster's parlor. They were soon seated around the table; waiting eagerly for the spirits to arrive: After Foster had smoked for several minutes in silence he suddenly said : 'The same message comes to me, It is for Ida. This is the lady is it ?" he asked, as of the spirit. "Oh, you will write the Message,. will you ? Well, all right," and with this he took up a pen - an - d - dathed - off - the-following-: "My Dear Daughter Ida :" "Ten years ago I entrusted a large sum of money to Thomas Madden, to invest for me in certain lands. After my death he failed •to account for the investment to my executors. The money was invested, • and 1,250 acres of land were bought, and one-half of this land now belongs to you. I paid Madden on account of my share of the. purchase $650. "-He must be made to make settlement. Your father, • sc VINEYARD." • BOth — Mt. — and - Mrs. De Long • sat and heard this communication read with as- tonished faces.'Us - ANILTrig - knew that in. life her fa,ther, had business dealings with Mr. Madden ; butto what-extentT or even the, nature of them, she did not know. She was terribly frightened at the, denouement, for she knew that Foster did not know who she was, or who her father might have been ; and when the commu nication came in so remarkable away, the surprise of the whole party may be better imagined than described. Mr. De Long had just enough faith in -the-cOrrectness-of-Mrs. De Long's com munication to want to see what there was in it, auy way.. So the next day he call ed on Mr. Madden, at the Occidental Ho tel. Without saying what special reason he had for asking the question, he asked Mr. Madden if there was not some unset tled business between himself and the estate of the late Mr. Vineyard. Mr. Mad den thought for a moment, and then said there was. He said several years ago he and Mr. Vineyard had purchased a tract of land together, and their interest was undivided. The land increased and was still increasing, enormously in value, and he supposed Mr. Vineyards daughter de sired to let her interest lie untouched, which was the reason why the matter had never been settled up. Besides, she had been absent a long lime from the country and was not here to have the matter set tled. When informed that Mrs. De Long had only just learned of the investment of her father, Mr. Madden, expressed much surprise. He said he supposed she and her husband and executors knew all about it, but were simply letting the mat ter rest for the property to increase in value. Mr. Madden then said he was ready to make settlement at any time.— This was readily assented to by Mr. De on &turd. Mr. Why it was so he had_ not the faintest conception. li e was under a mysterious influence that chained him to his seat and made him a slave to its power. At last the train slackened its speed and came to a halt, and John f ound himself moving along with the passengers who were mak ing their exit from the cars. When once outside he discovered that he was a strang er in a strange city. He asked a man where he was. He was told "St. Louis.." "But," says John, "j live in Hartford.— I want nothing in St . . Jouis." The stran ger smiled and passed on, leaving our Hartford friend as jAmplexed as ever.— While standing in his tracks, wondering what to do, he saw at a distance a figure that sent a thrill of joy throiigh his frame. It was his longlost brother-in-law.

Bat his dream had made a strong impres sion, and do what ivouldbe could not forget it. .It haunted hint alLthat day, ' and when' he got up the next morning the remenibrance of thationg ride 'and the happy meeting clung to hint still.— That very day some clerk in. the Hartford post-office might have seen a letter ad dressed to Mr. of St. Louis with the instruction 'on the end of the envelope, "If not called for within ten:days return to Jahn Eiswirth, ilartforid, Ct. Mr. _Eiswirth_sAys that he sent the letter ad dressed to his. brother-in-levy withouFthe remotest expectation of hearing from him. He sent it to relieve his mind, as he con fessed that the singular dream harassed him not a little. . • But after the missive was sent he dis missed the Matter from his mind, and' 'might never have thought of it again if something startling had not occurred a ' day or two since. John was at his home with his family when the postman come to the door, and delivered a letter., It was postmarked St. Louis.

In a large city like St. - 'Louis would seem that a letter asking specific direction might, not reach its destina tion but of course the chances are that it would go straight to_the_mark,_as_ it did in his case. It appeared by the let ter that the St. Louis German had been as much in the fog as they have been in regard to him. The St. Louis man writes that he shall soon come to this city on a visit, and his Hartford friends are delight ed at the prospect of a happy reunion. When he dose come John proposes what he dreamed about the lager shall also become a reality." They may come for wool and go back shorn. Love in the beginning is most easily cured.

A Virginia paper. says : "The follow ing information is given us by gentlemen of the highest character and credit, who have seen with own eyes, touched and tested with their own hands, the won derful object of which they make report. The workmen engaged in opening a way for the projected railroad between Weldon and Garysburg, struck on Monday, about a mile from the former place, in a bank beside the river, a catacomb of skeletons, supposed to be those of Indians of a remote age and a lost and forgotton race. The bodies exhumed were of a strange and remarkable formation. The skulls were nearly an inch in thickness; the teeth were filed sharp, as are those of canibals, the enamel perfectly preserved ;, the bones were of wonderful length and strength— the femur being as long as the leg of an ordinary' man, the stature of the body being Near the ir great as eight or nine feet. their head were sharp stone arrows, some mortars, in which their corn was brayed, and the bowls of pipes, appar ently of soft soapstone. The teeth of the skeletons are said to be as large , as those of a horse. One of them was brought to the city, and presented to the officers of the Pittsburg Railroad. ' "The bodies were found closely packed together, laid tier on tier, as it seethed.— There was no discernible ingress or egress to the mound. The mystery is who these giants were, to what race they belonged, to what era, and how they' came to be burl ed there. To these inquiries no answer has yet been made,and meantime the ruth less spade continues to cleave skull and body asunder, throwing up in mangled masses the bones of this heroic tribe.— We hope some effort.will fie made to pre serve authentic and accurate accounts of these discoveries, • and to throw some light, if possible, on the , lost tribe whese bones are 'thus rudely disturbed from their sleep in earth's bosom." Trim LAW OP PLEAsrso.—ln the fami ly, the law of pleasing ought to extend from the highest to the lowest. You are, bound to please your servents if you ex pect them to pleaseyou. Some men are pleasant in the hodehold and nowhere else. We all know such men. They are good fathers. and kind. husbands. If you had seen them in their own homes you would haN;e thought they were almost an gels;' but if you had 'seen them - in the reet, in their stores, in' the • counting houses, or anywhere else outside of their own houses, you would have thought them almost savage. But the opposite is apt to be the case with others. When among strangers or neighbors they 'endeaVor' to act with propriety ; but when they get home they say ;to themselves, "I have played a part long enough, and now I am going to be natural." So,.they .sit down and are ugly, and snappish, and ,blunt, and disagreeable. They lay aside those little courtesies that make the roughest path smooth' and make the hardest things like velvet, and that make life pleasant.— They expend all their politeness in places where it will bring silver and gold.—Sun day Mimicry. • ,• • • • How FAIR CHIN ES E DIE FOR LOVE.- In his "Far Ceiba?' Mr. Medhurst States that one Morning he received 'a card from a wealthy young lady informing him that her betrothed, having passed into an ear ly grave, she had made up her_ mind to commit suicide on a certain day. To Mr. Medhurst's surprise,. his official remon strances were received with commonplace civilities, and."on the day named the wo man did deliberately sacrifice her life .in the presence of thousands. A stage was erected in the open fields, with a tented frame over it, from which was suspended a slip of scarlet erape : one end of this she adjusted around her neck. She then em braced a little boy, probably a little broth er presented by a person standing by, and having let fall a veil over her face, she mounted a chair and resolutely jumped off it, her little clasped hands saluted the assemblage as her fast-failing form twirled round with the tightening cord."

In the morning she. would visit the firm. While Arthur slept, his mother passed the ansiouslours in alternate watchings by his bedside and prayers at her own.— "the restraint which she had ►laced upon herself was now removed. 'toward: day light-the storm subsidediand-the-moriF ing dawned , on a fair day. The calm comforted her, and wheu Arthur rose from the breakfast table, she said cheer fully : "I am going out this morning, dear, 'and you must remain at home. Se a good mother to brother and sister, and if any work comes in remember carefully all particulars: bnt first run 'out and sweep me a clean crossing through the fresh snow." Quickly wrapping herself, she proceed ed to the gate. She stood relisting against it and gazed on the pure scene—the trees, the hedges, the roof's of buildings, every nook and crevice piled up with .the glist ening snow. But purer than all was her sou Arthur—in her eyes the fairest fea ture of the picture. His clear eye was "not that of a thief!" 4nd the mother's face beamed upon him "with confiding love. At this moment Mr. Powell came to ward mother and son. Mrs. Howard re ceived him as calmly as she had his let ter, bidding Arthur run over to Mrs Ames, to Old John's, and to one or two other childless homes, and sweep offitheir paths, Mr: Powell was full of regrets and apolo gies fer the note sent on the previous even ing. Accidently the real culprit had been discovered, and Arthur fully cleared. "The firm wished him back. They will increase his wages, give him every oppor tunity. for improvement, in short they will atone, if possible, for the cruel wrong so haStily done." ' Mrs, Howard replied, "On one, and on ly on one condition can he return, and that is, that neither he nor .any of the clerks in your employ learn eue word of this affair. I would not have him suffer the knowledge of this suspicion for worlds. I would not have his self-respect injur ed." The next morning 'found Arthur in his accustomed place,. and the pleasure with which he that evening communicated to his mother his delight and astonishment at a sudden increase of salary, was with out a shadow. Years after, the firm pro posed receiving Arthur into it, and in re sponse to his glad thanks, Mr. :Powell placed his hand on bis shoulder and said "NO thanks my boy. Thank . your moth. ? ther.

EXPANDING THE; LUNGS.-St ep Out in to 'the purest air you can find ;stand per fectly erect, with head and shoulders back, and then fixing the-lips as if you were go ing to whistle, draw the air through the lips into the lungs. When the chest is about half full, gradually raise the arms, keeping them extended,) with the palms of the hands down, as you suck in the air, So as to bring them _over the head just as the lungs are quite full. Then drop the thumbs inward, and after gently forcing the arms backward and the chest open reverse _the process by which you draw your breath till the lungs are empty. This process should be repeated immedi ately after bathing, and also several times through the day. It is impossible to describe to one who has never tried it, the glorious sense of vigor which follows this exercise, is the best expectorant in the world. Wo know a gentleman, the meas ure of whose chest has increased some three or four inches daring as many months.—Dr. Paine. FALLEN MAN AND WOMAN.--Man, stenk helol his natural level, hates and effects to despise the height where he has walked. Woman, fallen from her fair estate, looks ever back to it with longing and regretful eyes. He proclaims him self not worse than his fellows ; endeavors to pull those above him down to his flat. She admits her fault; deplores it; is glad there are women so much better and more fortunate than she ; strives to have hope for the future, and listens with bounding blood to every voice that brings back to her the spotless past. Never does she quite renounce morality; humanity claims her to the last. Miserable, down-trodden, wholly forsaken, she looks up from the dross and the mire and hears the lark of her love singing at the gates of heaven. There are many inen who appear to be struggling against adversity, and yet are happy ; bait yet more, who, although.. a bounding in wealth, are miserable.
