the :agency of this ^ new science: I availed myseif
of this opportunity to witne. , o that i had"` read 01"

Well the leet crer commeeced, me in a very elo

peered to be perfectly fOltisfieik until he attempted
to prove by actual experiment,ie_hat he had assert•

they would, de pile his utmost endeavors to , cloe
I their eye.. (charneteristie eat' the race; keep ':orte eye
open." After flt: hour of tinsuece4ful 'attempts,to
place sortie of the audience "under hiscontrol," the
I entertainment began to le.ie much of its interest
and they commenced hiatsing and 'calling out for
the , u'iciinvinctrig experiments" t.r Their 124 cents--
I saw that the Scit tier trast likely to receive some

the " Profes, , ,r to aiiiiw the to attempt at least,
to convince the :oldie:ice that ruin could nut only
ever' a powerful influence ho the minds - of his fel
low-men, but also on inaniinAte which was
readily gratiied. I then eimsed the cane of a gen
tleman, Who was seated near me, to follow me out
in front of I,he audience, which., together 'with: the
fire-shayel performed .many wonderful feats, such
as standing erect_ while as many as six caps' were
piled on top of them, dancing. and fidt.,r ing me
around the roomenbsiirvient to my wi;i, while
was standing several feet from them; MIA was a
poser"—proof positive- and the audience retired
in Wonder and admiration. perfectly satisfied that
what the Professor " had asserted, had been de
monstrated beyond the possibility of a doubt.
During my stay in S—, I was considered at
least some piimpkins" amd there was nothing else
talked of but my wonderful power over the :am
and shovel. Old women M :.' iere actuaally afraid of
me, few Mg no houbt, that might take advantage
of this power arid cause some of their fair &ugh

In conclusion IT:will:say, if there are any- .who
