A Spiritual Cheat. An amusing af
fair occurred at an exhibition of spiritual
manifestations at Boston, on Friday night.
A shrewd persnnjjresent, in order to satisfy
himself as to the corporeality of a "sphit
ual hand" which was shown from an aper
ture in a "cabinet" used, supplied himself
with a syringe filled with ink, "and, watch
ing a favorable opportunity, squirted the
dark fluid over the digits and wrists of the
phantom member. ; On-emerging frcm the
cabinet,' the hand of the lady who had
been previously bound inside was examined,
and the inky marks liberally found upon .it.
The .,eonsequence was a. denouncement of
the affair as a humbug, a denial of the im
peachment, and a grand finale made up of
an indignation meeting of the audience,
and tbe passage of resolutions declaring the
demonstrations of spiritualism a very deci
ded physical cheat. ' '' ' . v '
About the year 1964,' the Legislature of
Pennsylvania passed a resolution that "no
member .'thereof should come to : the .House
barefoot, or eat his bread and - che&se - upon
the steps. ' : ' ' '- v ' ; . '

ADELA'S EEVEHGE.
"Depend upon it, Miss, I shan't spend anymore
time runuing after your convenience. If the mo
ney is ready to-night, well and good ; if not, you
may just look out for lodgings, where people
don t expect any pay. I wish you good luok find

Motes Slallory shut the door with a vindictive
bang, and shuffled away down stairs, while Adela
Hays pressed one hand to her forehead, and tried
vainly to keep back the tears, lest they should
spot the rich silk scarf she was embroidering.
' Don't cry, sister," coaxed little EGe. a'ealing
wuslfuUy up; "Mr. Malloiy is across ugly man,
and I don't love him " - ?
Adela stroked down the little one's curls, and
strove to- find some outlet through the turbid cur
rent of her thoughts. . .
What shall I do? what cax I do?" washer
soul s outcry, us the Sit thero silent and immova
ble in the growing shadows of twilight.
Adela Hays was by no means what a modern
novelist wuuldcall a beauty; yet there was some
thing in her sweet, frank face, which irrcsistably
impelled you to look agaiu. Tall and well pro
portioned, with large blue oyes, and hair, whose
wa.ia brown was just touched with auburn, tho
expression of her brow and dip wus better far
than beauty.
Just at present, however, there was a melancho
ly shadow on lip and brow, as she examined the
cmpty compartments of her littlo pocket-book
and laid it down wi h a weary sigh.
Then she opened the worn mabogeny work-box
on the table, and touching a little spring reveal
ing the secret drawer, that belongs to most si ch
tiiias. A slender gold bncelet. curiously wrousht
to resemble tho stem of a flower with ciusters'of

"I mu?t darling!" replied tba sirter. 4iIt would
ha wrong to keep it longer, under tbe circumstan

dear; it breaks my heart to part with it, and I
see ro alternative. Stay hi.-re till I return, ESe,

A Story cf our late President.
The annexed, another evidence of the kind
heart of our late President,- Mr. Lincoln,
we take froru tl e Independent : . .
Ou the Monday before- his death, when
our late beloved President was on his return
from liichmond, he stopped at City Point. .
Calling up;n the head surgeon at tnat place,
Mr. Lincoln told hira that he wished io visit ' '
ail the hospitals uuder hischarge, and t-hako
hands with every ldier. The surewn ask
ed the President if he knew what a task he
was undertaking, and told him that there
were then between five and six thousand
foldiers at that place, and it would be qnite
a tax upon hi strength to visit all the warda
and shake hands with every soldier. Mr.
Linccla auswered, with a s rile, that he
"guessed he was equal to ihe'taik ; at any
rate he would try, an sro as far as he could;
he should never probably sec the boys again,"
and ha wanted theui to know that he ap
preciated what thev had dese for their cotra-
ti7- ...
iinding it useless to trj to dissuade htm,
the surgeon began to make his rounds with
the President, who walked Irom bed to led,
extending his hand to all, saying a tew
words of sympathy to son:e, making kind
inquiries of others, and welcomed oy all
with the heartiest eordiaiitj'. As they pars
ed along they came to a ward in which
lay a rebel? who had been wounded, and was
a prisoner. As the tall fisrire of the kindly
visitor appeared in sight, lie was recognized
by the rebel ,-oMier, who, raising himself
on his elbow in bed, watched Mr. Lincoln
as he approached, and, extending his hand,
exclaimed, while tears ran down hi checks :
"Mr Lincoln, I have locg wanted to see
yoi. to ask your forgiveness for ever raising
my hand arainst the old f?ar. Mr. Lin
coin was nittved to tears, lie heartily shook
tb.ii hani of the l-epentant rebel, and assur
ed him of his good will, and, with a few
words of kind advice, passed on. After
sotne hours tbe tour of the various hospitals
waa made, and Mr. Lincoln returned with
ma-surgeon to nts oinee. , xney. iiai tcarce-
iy entered, however.
niesseczer
came, savins that otia ward had been
omit
ted, and "the !;,vi'' wanted to see' 'Mr.
Lincoln. Thi surgeon, who Wit- thoroughly
tired, and knew Mr. Lincoln tuut be, tried
to dissuade iiini frcui goinr; hut the good
man saw tie n,nst go back ; he woul-t not
knowingly omit one; "the boys" would be
so disappoiuted. bo he wt-ct with the mes
senger, uccorapanicd Ly the surgeonj and
shojk haids wii.Ii the graiiSed soldiers, and
then returned airain to the oSce. TIjp sur
geon expressed the iear that Mr. Lir.co'n's
arm would be lamed with so much hand
shaking, saying that it certainly mut ache.
Mr. Liei'n smiied, and, saying something
about hi- 'sron? nmsckis," stonrKd out at
tbe open door, took up a very Iargs heavr
axe, which hty tlsere f y a log of wood, and
c hojtped vigorous!- for a few moments, gi:nd
ing the chi;is flying in all directions ; and
then. pnuc!cg, 1h rxtnded bis right am
to its lull length holding the axe out hori
zontally, withont its even ouivering as h
held it. Strong men. who looked on men
arjustoaied to manual labor could not hold
the same axe in th.it position for a moment.
Reiuring to the efhee, he took a glass of

ter an interval of about one minute came a
very heavy exploioii, producing in ni.ny
! insta'.cf' a j irring of windows similar to ai
earthquake Various conjectures of the
cause were expressed, some supposing it to
be lizhtning, others that it was that agency,
followed by the explosion of apowder maga
zine in one of the torts in the harbor, as the
sound scpmed to proceed from - the south
east, itirj'jiry thi- morring, we learn
from an inteHigeat gentbniaa who, at the
time, was staniing upon one of the wharves,
that the light was so dazzling that ho. in voir
untari'.y covered his eyes with his hands,
and was thereby prevented fr-nn. observing
wheoee it proceded, tut that the report, af
ter an interval of more than a minute, came
frou the outb. He notice-! al that, the
explosion was followed ior eoLie .wcontL? by
a peculiar rumbling sound, more monoton
ous than is. usual in the rever Deration s of
thunder. A colored sentinel before the
Roper's Hospital described - it aa a falling
star, and pointed to the southern heavens
as the region from whence it descended.
