BEECHER—A stranger begs your pardon for trespassing upon your valuable time, but begs you will lend her your kind attention for a space, hoping it may not prove time wasted. . Dropping the third person, I hold a theme closely to heart, which I think needs agitating; and there is no agitator to bring it home so forcibly to the souls and intellects of the people as lH<£vnry;,Ward ;*Beeche+;*1'.‘- I havnyfrom time to time greatly rejoiced at the fall of some old-time idol of custom, knocked into nothingness by your voice. Now, I wish you would rouse up the sleeping saints as to one other great wrong done for “Christ’s sake” through blind and bigoted zeal and the infernal spirit which holds the prompt-book at the elbow of too many professing Christians —the spirit of “ stand aside! I am holier than thou! ” I desire to ask you ﬁrst, however, what constitutes true Christian forgiveness after contrite penitence and effort to lead a purer life? Is it forgiveness with a perpetual reminder to the sinner that he or she has sinned, and that there is no retrieving the lost purity, the regretted estate. while the poor victim is compelled to live among the self-styled holy ones wearing;a cruel badge of the infamy ? Or does the Christ—like forgiveness consist in taking the repentant outcast warmly to the heart, imparting the sweet consciousness that though the sins were as scarlet, repentance and faith have washed them white as snow, and rendered_the misguided sinner worthy to feast with angels at Christ’s own table in paradise? The latter is my idea of God’s free pardon, through the Mediator, His SonJesus Christ, according to christian teach- ing. But worldly wisdom will not have it so. For instance: I read recently in the Chicago Times an account of a Protest- ant sisterhood existing in England, similar to Catholic institu- tions—a sisterhood whose object is to help the needy, minister to the sick and sore distressed, teach the young, and rescue the fallen. ' In regard to the “ rescue of the fallen” I enter protest against the Christless way in Which they do it. for it is the same in this boasted Protestant institution that it is in the Catholic. They erect a home for the friendless to which the sorrowing and repentant magdalens come, aiming prayerfully and hopefully toward a better life. But no matter how deep the repentance. how earnest the effort to live well, how ardent the hope of free pardon, they are magdalens still—can “ never become sisters! ” Is it not a wonder poor outcasts ever have the sublime courage to seek that doubtful shelter, where their sins are written as it were in scarlet letters on their foreheads for all to read who chance in idle curiosity to visit their “ refuge?” Is not the wide, wide world a safer refuge from the sanctimo- nious ﬁnger of scornful pity? Would not heaven itself be a hell of torments to the sinner with the damning conscious- ness that once a magdalen, ‘eternallya magdalen, simply tole- rated in the outer courts of heaven, ticketed “ a fallen angel!" And pray tell me, what are those Protestant sisters, or Catholic either, to assume a greater purity :than their less fortunate sisters, toward whose sin, committed in the dark- ness of a mighty temptation, God may be more lenient in the judgment than toward that unmerciful, unimpressible, self—-rightousness. which shuts the Magdalen into a corner, conﬁned to her class, compelled to bear the burden of her shame after repentance! What constitutes a _Christian? Certainly not the conscious- ! the intrinsic nature of adultery, and of the great wrongs NEW, YORK, FEB. 12,1876. ness that I am better or holier than my neighbor, or that I hold a better right to God’s grace of pardon; but simply the bended will to say and the contrite heart to know, “ I am the chief of sinners! " unworthy of pardon save through inﬁnite grace. - Yet, here is a. band of sisters going" out into the byways and highways of life, taking up those who have stumbled in the pit—falls of sin, and bringing them into a place of refuge. as a magistrate of the ‘law would convey a chain~gang to prison. Preposterous and Christless! C After repentance and steady perseverance in well-doing, the Magdalen has a right to her place in the sisterhood, to her old place in society, to her pristine purity; for sin is but as a garment—as a moral disease—else repentance and forgive- ness were a stupid farce. ' Fancy the thief upon the cross, when Jesus said, “ This day shalt thou be with me in Paradise!” Then fancy him, indeed, with Christ in the heavenly courts, and all the angels crying “ Stop thief! ” I There is yet another most inconsistent feature to this Pro- testant system of “ rescuing the fallen.” Magdalens of a more aristocratic order—clergymen’s daughters, and high and noble dames are permitted a private parlor, as it were, secluded from the common world where more vulgar sinners are penned up, as if there were castes in adultery, considered from the cast iron standpoint of the Mosaic dispensation. .- “Surely this subject needs a sermon. ' The golden calves in the sanctuaries of Mammon, dedicated to Christ, and Him cruciﬁed, need to be knocked on the head. And as I was dis- cussing the question at breakfast, I said, “ the theme needs some one of wide inﬂuence to set it in agitation,” and I re- solved to write to Henry Ward Beecher. I have done so. .Very truly yours, HELEN NASH. Since the above was written, there have been developments in Mr. Beecher’s own case that seem to point to an excellent reason why he did not desire to agitate the question. If he had not been a hypocrite.in his heart, there is no theme he should have held so sacred as the one above mentioned. It is absurd to suppose that Henry Ward Beecher is ignorant of committed by modern society in the name of a. virtue which he must know is but a sham. Overwhelming is "the circum- stantial evidence that he has lived his idea of sexual purity, yet not dared to speak for it in the time of its greatest need. Yet he seems to be ﬂourishing like a green bay tree. H. N. LEADINGS. “Be still, andknow that I am G-od,”was the tranquil utter- ance by which onc of old expressed his realization of the ever potent inﬂuence of the Invisible. , ‘So imbued was David with the consciousness of the actual- ity of this power; so certain was he that the Unseen was the real energy that directs and controls all earthly events; so sensible was he of the supremacy of this Spiritual Force, over royal mandates, over the enginery of war, that he was able to cease, to be still, to behold God swaying the revolu- tions of men as well as the convulsions of nature. Thus must all instruments of the Inﬁnite, ere they receive their mantle of power, comprehend the true source of strength, the invincibility of justice, the absoluteness of ce- lestial -rule; then, step by step, they pass from the faulty con-, ceptions of earth to the faultlessness of "etherial knowledge. Conceived in ignorance, born. in weakness, human beings enter upon an existence with capacities, the limits of which human kin has never yet discerned; with possibilities, which are as impossible of divination, as the bounding of the boundless. ' Yet, the first entrance into earthly existence is met by swaddling-bands, checks to nature’s course, as if the Author of Life had misdirected human energies. As, the unfolding faculties of the new born emerge into action, as the life currents shape themselves according to there natural line of progress, checks and restraints are everywhere encountered, drags on human development, which theology asserts, are neccessary, because every human instinct is born of the devil,——- as if a. devil were the Creator. As adolesence dawns into maturity, as latent capacities ex- pand into creative power, human beings ﬁnd themselves possessed by desires, that cannot be controlled by the will; of inner forces entumesing and seeking their natural expres- PRICE TEN cnnrs; Y1‘ tioned by civil or ecclesiastical power—that is, unlicensed——the act is deemed so vile that society unites with the church, in proscribing by ban and anathema those who obey the law written in their hearts by God, rather than that written on parchment by man, as if nescience, and not wisdom, ha been the originator and director of the power. _ Thus under present conditions the natural action of the law, of sex being next to impossiblmabunormal action, be- comes equally ubiquitous, a deﬁlement which forces myriad hecatombs of the human family into premature graves, vic- tims to consumption or cognate diseases engendered by this ignorant or wilful yielding to man—made law and ignoring that ordained by God. But perishing humanity cries not in vain for life. Already theedict for relief hath gone, forth from the Most High. Already the ﬂame of truth ﬂashes across the darkness of earth, piercing its inmost recesses. Already the bondage of mere tradition is being cast aside by those who aspire to know. Already seekers after truth are inquiring if the inner forces are so evil in their tendences; if creation is such a blunder as theology would makeit out to be. Already ears hearken to the voice within the soul, Al- ready listeners have entered upon the pathway which shall yet bring to light as the heritage of humanity, the life and immortality once revealed in Christ. . CALEB BRINTON. Cnannsroni) PA. “ , ' COMM UN ISM CRITICISED. I should like to say that it surprises me to ﬁnd otherwise sensible people advocating Communism. The ﬁrst followers of Jesus had “ all things in common,” but as they were daily expecting the world to come to an end (on the re- turn of their teacher and friend) their small earnings were as -judiciously disposed of in this as ‘in any other way. Communism is in deadly opposition to individuality, and needs a despot at the helm to-— keep things in order. Unless thislleader be a spiritual despot, and hold his snbj ects at peace through their superstitions, the rank and ﬁle are sure to rise up and dethrone the ruler, as we saw in so many cases a few years ago in this countryand. others. At first sight magnetised under the powerful appeal and silences every other faculty. Then comes experience. and this silences benevolence and calls into activity doubt, distrust and selﬁsh- ness. N o wonder. Here is a man who would gladly work 10 hours a day for a year,dispensing with all other luxuries,so that he could have the means to travel the next year; _but he must ﬁrst ask permission, ask for the money out of thegeneral treasury, and _subject his rights to the vote of a large body of people whose judgment may or may not be just. Or he may be a lazy, logy fellow, dull by nature. What is there to stimulate his faculties when the all-powerful anticipation of recompense and of freedom to use is withdrawn? If he can subsist by slow movements, why wake to greater activity? Depend upon it, both in this world and the. next, we shall wish to own what we create—to give it away, waste, orhold. I say what we create; I do not mean any tithe, or three-ﬁfths ﬁlched from others, as live the rich in our much vaunted, but cruel civilization. C i I We are grateful to Brigham Young, and Noyes of Oneida, for the experiments they have made, and are making; but as both depend on superstition in their followers, we are sure to see both systems become disintegrated when their leaders have departed hence. Polygamy has not proved heaven to the plural wives, and mormon children are prover bially inferior. :So marriage peculiar to the perfectionists, is seen to result in a negative physical condition which is quite noticeable, especially in the women and children. They lack magnetism, and vigorous, and varied individuality. Now no way of living can be the ﬁnal rlghtone, that does not pro- fertile brains, than our present selﬁsh system shows.

ABOUT WOODHULL, STANTON, AND OTHER ANGELS. After declaring that Mrs. Woodhull had done for woman what no other one could——broken a path through the thorny hedge of sexual tyranny. at the risk of her life—-Mrs. Stanton says she has dashed into the dismal swamp, and we (the women, I suppose) could not lift her out. Did she dash in, or did the Comstocks in Christian mask, with special act for the purpose, backed by church wealth and prejudice, press her in? And, in spite of cunning, cruelty and craft, has not her own soul-power, with angel aid, “buoyed her through the deadly waters,” gained a new foot-hold and a higher mental leverage? And if her name shall hold the deliverer’s place- if in her character and person there is only reﬁnement-have women, any more than Theodore, gained by turning away when the fog in their vision seemed a dismal swamp? Again, suffrage being but the “ vestibule of emancipa- tion,” and women unable to reach even that, shall not our eﬁort be to learn why we fail to gain the ﬂoor when near enough to parley with the .doorkeeper? He says we have already so many cares that more responsibilities would be disastrous. On his suggestion let us glance over the thinking, working women who are the sinew of principle to be relied on. (Other classes present a dizzy whirl.) Sad- adening, indeed, is the best view we obtain. We see them haggard with exhaustion, and hurried for time to plait, stitch and crumple the load of cloth that cripples their every faculty. As children, too weak to,,hold the cup they crave, they need trusted hands to administer nutrition. They have dissipated vitality by constricting, casing and curtaining the ioody till, Mrs. Stanton declared in public, “ there are no women to—day.” Is not fashion a mocker? Will women aspiring ‘to freedom, longer yield their rich powers to the thwarter of all their hopes and joys? If among the fragile "human ruins enough force and worth, remain to recuperate physically and rectify morally, is not the ﬁrst, best work of women for women, and of men for women, to relieve them of disabling causes, and, in restoring strength, to give also time to achieve pecuniary support, that they may not only be able to scale the steps, but pas the vestibule, corridors and aisles, and pause at leisure in the central court of emancipa- tlon? It may as well be hoped that turtles will ﬂy and ﬁsh Walk upright as that women in present trammels and mental subjection to known evils, can hold, use and honor civil or social liberty. First must be unbound and respected the temple of uses. Expansive comprehension will then take its «own. Victoria and others are nobly preparing minds for true llife, but who will come to the ﬁrst practical point, the aid of bodies, that mind may be improved to will and to do, with an instrument to use?

TILLOTSON. VINELAND, J an., 1876. THE LEAVEN WORKING. OMRO, WIS., Jan. 25, 1876. Editors Weekly—Will you permit us to return thanks, through the columns of your paper, to[ the many kind friends who have written us words of encouragement and cheer upon our taking the position We have ?* Illness and a press of business have prevented our person- ally replying to these very welcome letters, and now still hurried, we are dismayed at the staring pile of unanswered ones lying ‘before us. We would say, may God bless the kind hearts that have so nobly helped us to bear our burden, which at one time threatened to be more than we could carry. It seems signiﬁcant that the majority of those writing are parents and people past the prime of life. It augurs well for the success of the social movement that those who have had the experience of years are the ones most interested. The following is a fair sample of the letters received daily from every part of the country. Again expressing our thanks, we remain, Truly yours, LEO MILLER, MATTIE STRICKLAND. v PAOLA, Kansas, Dec. 12, 1875. Mattie Strickland: Allihail, brave girl! Allow a stranger to congratulate you, and ask the support of Heaven’s angels to strengthen you in the glorious work in which you have taken the initiatory step——tha~t of leading womanhood up to a higher and purer plane of life. I am the father of ﬁve blooming daughters; the eldest two just entering womanhood, and for them I ask no higher boon, nor grander destiny, than that they brave Mother Grundy and declare their independence as you have done. Rest assured, brave heart, that many, very many eyes are upon you, and with tears they ask for you a joyous life, and the grand fulﬁllment of your iliberty-loving heart’s fondest wish. Your dear parents have my sympathy and condolence, and gladly would I share with them their trouble; but, at the same time, I would point them to the “ New Light ” that has «dawned, and that “taketh away the sins of the world” by removing the chief cause of sin and sorrow. Your daughter is not lost to you; “only goneup higher.” She has taken a .71 step you could not and need not now take; and she will bless your grayhairs in the fulﬁllment of a higher, a holier and a better destiny than marriage bonds and personal ownership could possibly bring to her. Do your parents ever pray, “Thy will be done on earth as in Heaven ?” Did Jesus, the Reformer, say: “In Heaven they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels?” Then are Leo Miller and Mattie Strickland as the angels, and are a living reply to the fervent prayers that as- cend daily to Heaven; for thus far is God’s will “done on earth as in Heaven.” I can and do bear faithful testimony to the mockery of the marriage institution of our country; and I know of what I speak, and of much of its dread deformities. Though living under marriage banns, and seeking not separation from my wife, in whom I fully conﬁde, yet I mingle my prayers with the orthodox world for the inauguration of the will of God upon earth as it is (said to be) in Heaven, and that men and women be as the angels. Let these fond and doting parents be not bowed in grief; but rather let them lift their eyes and thoughts and sympa- thies up to the higher plane upon which stands their true and devoted child; and let them feel themselves honored beyond measure that their daughter has honored their name by refus- ing to exchange it for that of another, and that the brave heart that prompted, nor the fair hand that signed, that “Article of Copartnership” caninever bring disgrace to them, and that to their daughter a lover is worth far more than a legal master. To you, Mattie Strickland and Leo Miller, let me extend my hand and heart’s,fondest,Wlsh that you have made no mistake. Remember‘. the eyes of the world’s advanced thinkers are upon you.’~. Stand ﬁrm to your post of duty, and may your lives be pure, and peaceful and crowned with highest earthly" good. Accept this from an earnest, yet humble worker in all needed reforms. Forltruth, J. T. HAUGHEY. ALL THINGS NEW. ° Editor Woodhull and Clajiz'n.’s Weekly: A change is coming. A new rule of action is to take the world by storm; that is to say, the gathering clouds which blind and confuse all the people, will bring destruction to the world as now organized. Men as competitors are to be brought into disrepute. The whole fabric of competition, as a system of action. will be done away. The new rule or sys- tem of co-operation, or concurrent process, for human good, is ingraining in the mind or instinct of to—day, so that a more active conflict is ripening, and the old basis of things begin- ing to rack with the pangs of transformation. There is no mistaking the signs of the times. We are about to “turn our coats.” Let us see: Acording to the es- tablished order or customs, if one is wrong all are so, in practical life. The great principle of rightousness which men have in them and which they hold dear—which they even worship, because they do not act upon it—must soon move to the surface, and change, and brighten the entire being. Being on a wrong system, no matter what we preach, be it ever so good, our practice must be wrong, and all the world is Without moralpower, There is no salvation under the system. ' There cannot be. There is not virtuelenough left to gal- vanize it into newness of life. Not all the powers of the earth can save it. The beginning of the end of this comp- petitive (every fellow for himself, and the devil for us all) system of action has come. Modern democracy, industrial slavery, and sexual debauchery are playing out; they are onlywinked at nowas phases of fraud, and enervating in- dulgence. They have become altogether ﬁlthy. Let the corner stone of co-operation be laid. Let co-oper- tion be the rule of action among men. Let the universal brotherhood be formed as soon as possible. Not one stone on another of the rotten fabric of competition shall remain; all will be thrown down. It is not a question whether we will leave the sinking ship or not, it is a matter of leave or perish. The thing is settled. ‘We are at the inception of a new dispensation. We must help ourselves. God (or good) helps those who help them- selvs. " Competition, thou forlorn hope of all the ages! down! down to hell, and tell the devil the higher intelligences and angels of God sent thee thither! OGDEN WHITLOCK. CHICAGO, Jan. 23. 1875. 17 Honore street. FIRST EVIDENCES OF WHAT IS COMING. Editors Weekly/——I wish you to inform the readers of the WEEKLY that I have had made known tome a series of rob- beries of the public treasury connected with the Government at ‘Washington, extending back through a series of years, and which involves a loss to the nation of thousands of millions of dollars. I have not yet ascertained the total amount, but the facts but ﬁgures are coming to me daily from a source un- known to any one but myself. Nevertheless, they are so clear that they can be easily proved to the satisfaction of any reasonable man and woman. Some of these frauds are known to the chief officers of the nation. Others are being perpetrated by those in Govern-- ment employ; and of most of them the chief officers are totally ignorant. I shall soon have all the facts connected with this matter fully developed, and then _I shall lay them before the public. I am persuaded in my own mind that such an exhibit will result in an entire change of our present form of government. 7 ' 1' will communicate further with you on the matter when my plans are more fully matured. Yours, as a champion of Truth, . E. P. MILLRR. Bath House, 41 West 26th st., N. Y. City, Jan. 14, 1876. IS MRS. WOODHULL THE WOMAN. Mr. Allen Putnam’s mention of a remarkable vision in re- gard to Mrs. Woodhull, recalls aprophecy made many years ago by L. Judd Pardee. In one of his inspirational moods he forecast the coming rebellion; then, as if a new power pos- sessed him, he moved forward, and bending over the foot- lights said: “And another battle is pending! Heaven has already marshalled her forces for a righteous rebe1lion—a re- bellion against old, time-honored abuses. A war is to be waged against the present marriage institution. The whited sepulchre is to be demolished; in its stead a holy temple shall rise. The leader in the coming uprising is awoman. She will be tried as by ﬁre. She will be persecuted; her name cast out as evil; but, encompassed by a pillar of ﬁre, she will lead the way and win the battle. At last this woman will be star-crowned and called VICTORY, the Conqueror.” Since reading Mr. Putnam’s article, I have wondered if the name was not Victoria. At that time Mrs. Woodhull was a I young mother, living in a city basement, brooding over the wrongsof marriage and motherhood. May it not be that some risen spirit, in sympathy with the defrauded wife and child, saw that the furnace ﬂame would destroy the dross and ﬁt a suffering soul to lead the way to. the kingdom of Peace. One thing is sure: Mrs. Woodhull has not been lack- ing in the reviling and persecution spoken of by Mr. Pardee. The hope is that out of the seeming evil great good will be out—wrought, and that the defamed will by-an.d-by wear the crown of victory. H. F. M. BROWN, SELECTIONS. Ah! the bloom has left the peach, And the dew drop ﬂed the rose; The music of his speech . Seems a dreary, dreary prose; Free am I. But I even now regret That my love has perished too, And I ask but to forget How I blindly knelt to you; Sweet, good-bye. ’TWas homage man pays, and but once, to a woman, A love that would forfeit the world for a kiss, Ay, and heaven itself, with its joys superhuman, To catch from her smile but one moment of bliss. Well, ’tis past! that wild waltz of the heart, to whose measure Love’s pulses beat madly, till being became A thing of too exquisite rapture for pleasure, And sharper than hunger, and ﬁercer than ﬂame. And now, like the perfume of roses long faded, That vision of loveliness comes from the past, But the eyes that entreated, the lips that upbraided, No more shall reproach thee-—0h_. broken at last! HARVARD ROOMS. Illa the Editors of ,lVeekly :— . , ., , There is a caricature ;by Cruickshank which represents a young cockney seated in a steamboat cabin with a cigar in his mouth and a tumbler of punch before him, under it is printed: The winds were wild, the waves were dark, Far distant every joy; When forced by fortune to embark, I went a cabin boy- (To Gravesend) a watering place on the Thames, about ten miles from Lon- don. Deduct the punch and the cigar, and your correspon- dent’s Sunday expeditions are similarly unromantic. But though a journey from Long Island City to the Spiritual Con- ference at the Harvard Rooms. presentsfno mundane beau- ties, it may not be without its use as regards spiritual excel- lencies, which are far more interesting and important. Setting aside all other manifestations, science has never solved the question of the intelligent rappings which heralded the advent of modern spiritualism, and probably never will. They are facts which can neither be disputed nor accounted for, which have called for and received the earnest attention of the civilized world. But to me the whole round of Spiritual phenomena which has been lately exhibited inside and out- side of Spiritual circles is merely the bell to call the attention of mankind to a new development of the spiritual idea of our race. Already, rising up in all our principal cities, we see Con- ferences of Spiritualists——religious democracies—are estab- lished. In them the old levitical order of a privileged priest- hood ﬁnds no place. They are a gage of deﬁance thrown by Spiritualism to all the credal religions on the globe. In them, at least, the rights of woman are fully and practically recog- nized. There is probably not one of them in which woman is not given the precedence when she desires to address the audience. In itself this is a grand revolution. In them the full power of the human unit will shortly be felt, and systems based on the sexual tyranny of man must fall before them, be they religious or secular. The Conference is therefore certainly the foremost footprint, of modern Spiritualism. Of course, among Spiritualists, there are to be found pecu- liarly gifted and inspired individuals, female and male, who are qualified to be teachers and exemplars; but our Confer- ences will qualify us to judge of their excellencies, and pre- vent us from ever investing such instructors with peculiar powers or distinguishing them as a separate class among us. With us old systems have passed away, and all has become new. True Spiritualists perceive that credal religions, which were needed in the past to develop and amuse the spiritual infancy of our race, are now not only useless to humanity, but have become positive evils, sowing discord among the various members of the great family of nations, introducing strife, malice, and all uncharitableness. between the mem- bers of which they are composed, and fomenting in very many of them riots, tumults and wars. I The best effects may be expected from our Conferences if the platforms are kept free. We must have no aristocracy in 2 .2’.-/:a‘_.2.-.;:-L "ii .,,A_ W . «war -9.42-5. Q,-‘W = . , _ ‘ v “E Feb. WOODHULL ab CLAFLIN’S WIEEKLYA _ 3 spiritual circles. Our halls must be open to all, and men and women of all creeds welcome in them. There let the philan- thropist air his schemes for the improvement of the con- ditions of mankind; let the scientist expound his theories on the wonders in and around the earth. In them let the Bud- dist, the Mahomedan, and the Christian meet, and comparing notes, ﬁnd out how much of their res- pective creeds have been stolen from each other. But whilst the good, the learned, and the pious, are heard by us, let us not forget the weak, the poor, the neglected and the miserable, who, indeed, have a better right to be heard in our temples than any others; for. as the great Nazarine said: “They that are whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. From the general tone of the speeches at the Harvard Rooms, in the afternoon and evening sessions of the Spiritual Conference there regularly held, I take it that the above are the conclusions they are rapidly coming to. In the after- noon, Madox of Maine, in a very able effort, pleaded the cause of the miserables, declaring that the road to advance- ment was the elevation of the lowly. In the evening, Mr. Fishbough endorsed the idea by saying, that after having earnestly besought the Deity for the assistance of wise and good spirits to" elevate and enlighten him, he was instructed that the lowliest and least developed spirits had the same claim upon his services, that he himself asked at the hands of those in the higher spheres of spiritual existence. Whilst the Conference is thus majestically advancing on the line of its duties, the other Spiritualistic meeting ap- pears to be falling back in the race. Mr. Brisco, one of the officers of the society holding its meetings at Thirty-third street, declared that, of late, the burthen of the expense of carrying on the same had fallen upon the few, and that they were unwilling to bear any longer the great burthen put upon them. That the present trustees had held oﬂice for the three past years, and that for one, he desired to retire. At the same time, he concluded by saying, that if the Spiritualists of New York would build a suitable hall for themselves he would pay one hundreth part of the subscriptions raised for that purpose, whatever they might amount to. If, as stated by Mr. Brisco, the machine has really been run by a clique, Spiritualists will have little reason to mourn its downfall, however excellent, individually, the members comprising that body may be. When Spiritualists are unwilling to pay their fair and equal share toward the fund for sustaining the necessary expenses of their meetings, it is ﬁtting that such milk-and—water Spiritualism should cease to exist, for it must prove neither proﬁtable to themselves nor their fellow-beings. Anyway, no system ought to be tolerated among us that may mitigate against the freedom of the platform and the democ- racy of Spiritualism. R. W. HUME. .__.__._ FOUND AT LAST. Within the kingdom of my soul I bid you enter, love, to-day; Submit my life to your control, ‘And give my heart up to your sway. My past, Whose light and life is ﬂown, Shall live through memory for you still; Take all my present foryour own, And mould my future to your will. One only thought remains apart, And will forever so remain ; There is one chamber in my heart Where even you might knock in vain. A haunted chamber: long ago - I closed it, and I cast the key Where deep and bitter waters ﬂow, Into a vast and silent sea. Dear, it is haunted. All the rest Is yours ; but I have shut that door Forever now. ’Tis even best A That I should enter it no more. No more. It is not well to stay With ghosts ; their very looks would scare Your joyous, loving smile away ; So never try to enter there. Check, if you love me, all regret That this one thought remains apart ; Now let us smile, dear, and forget The haunted chamber in my heart. A. P. A MOTHER INDEED. SPRINGFIELD, 0., Jan. 25, 1876. Be sure to send me the WEEKLY right along; I cannot, nor will not do without it. Indeed I cannot afford to do without it. For the beneﬁt of my children I must have it. I have ﬁve girls, the eldest 18 years and the youngest 10 years. My duty to them will not permit me to do without it. They all read it, and whoever can get it to read ﬁrst, feels very proud. They were so sorry that Mrs. Woodhull did not lecture a whole week in this place. We all hope to see her again, and that her spirit friends will continue to assist her” in all of her undertakings, and give her strength and courage to bear all her burdens.

There is a good deal of loose talk, from Joaquin Miller and ‘others, about Mr. Whitman’s circumstances, It is hardly de- cent to discribe him as a neglected martyr. The simple facts are pathetic enough. His bodily health, broken by his years of work in the hospitals during the war, is probably gone beyond redemption; {troubled with paralysis and a 1‘-’,'I‘3V9 stomachic affection, he has the use of about one third of his time; the rest is divided between positive suffering and pas- sive disability.

Shel- ley was too pure for any such idea as that of promiscuous intercourse to be acted on by himself; his life, which lies open before us, refutes the diabolical invention. The fact was, that at the early age of nineteen he married Harriet Westbrook, the daughter of a retired tavern keeper. a Woman without soul and that congeniality of disposition which a man After a wretched existence without intellectual sympathy, and on the advice of her father, who did not agree with his ideas on religion, they parted by mutual consent, never to meet again. Shelley about this period met his second wife, a woman of the highest powers of mind and charm of body, Mary Wolstonecraft Godwin,the authoress of “Frankenstein” and other works. daughter of. William Godwin, the novelist, and author of “Political Justice,” and Mary Wolstonecraft the gifted writer of the “Rights of Women.” We are told by Lady Shelley that, ‘To her. as they met one eventful day in St. Pancras churchyard, by her mother’s grave, Bysche, in burning words, poured forth the tale of his wild past, how he had suffered, how he had been misled, and how, if supported by her love, he hoped, in future years, to enroll his name with the wise and good who had done battle for their fellow- menand been true through all adverse storms to the cause of humanity.

Many of these husbands are all the wife could ask, except in this one thing, and never dream that they do not love those whom they have promised to “hon- or and cherish;” but it is a love so full of selﬁshness that it ceases to be true.” _ “ Many a man and woman would shun the society of a proﬁ- gate, and shrink from one who would sell her virtue for gain as from a viper or a scorpion; yet they themselves, under cover of the marriage rite, are just as guilty in the sight of God with regard to the sacred laws of their own body as those whom they condemn.” . “ The great Redeemer of the world has said: “Ye haveﬁheard that it hath been said by them in old time, thou shalt not commit adultery; but I say unto you, that whosoever looketh on a Woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.” And this saying reaches forth into married as well as single life, for Christ makes no refer- ence to wedlock as being an exception when he speaks thus.” “ Another mother, who had taught her littleédaughterito know good from evil with regard to sexual things, says: “My little girl said to me: ‘ O mammal won’t you tell Mattie —— what you told me? for she does that naughty thing you told me about, and she told me to do it; but I know she wouldn’t do it if she only knew.’ ” And this little girl has been the means of saving many others from this evil habit by bring- ing them to her mother to be taught the results of it, and thus they have become pure and virtuous children.” Orders for this book may be sent to Woodhull & Clallin, P.

WOODHULL’S LECTURE, At Smith’s Opera House; last Mondayieveniug, was in many respects a remarkable one. The hall was well ﬁlled, with a good representation of the best classes of citizens. Perhaps one—half of those present were ladies. Mrs. Wood- hull came before the audience, very plainly dressed, ad- vanced to the center of the stage, and there stood, with nei- ther desk nor manuscript before her, holding in her hand only a pocket Bible, from which she read several texts. The entire audience listened throughout with the most perfect attention, interrupted only by applause at the sharp hits or telling passages of the address. Mrs. Woodhull is unques- tionably a woman of genius, a ﬁne and very impressive speaker, and apparently talks from a full heart, without hes-, itation, because ;she has something to say and is vitally in earnest-=at times i;novi.ng;some at least of her hearers, overﬂowing with the impulses of genius, should have chosen.- “I know the heart-history of many noble, high-toned women" I whom we knowof, even to tears. The Lecture was indeed a remarkably one, much of it vastly true, and equally im- , portant, in substance apparently very different from what the audience must have expected. It was an earnest plea for thepurity of the body. Its feffect as a whole must have been good rather than evil; and we feel sure that if she had been announced to lecture again the next evening, the hall would have been ﬁlled to its utmost capacity. (From the Kolcomo, Ind., Tribune, J an. 29, 1876.) 1 Several days ago all the seats in the Opera House were en»- gaged to hear Mrs. Victoria Woodhull, who lectured last- night on “ The True and the False, Socially.” The audience- was composed of our most lntelligent, reﬁned people. Every- where Mrs. Woodhull is greeted with the same audiences of respectable, honest-thinking people. It may be idle curi- osity that brings them out to listen to her; but no matter what the attraction is, they go to hear the only woman in America who dares to attack the social evil sin in the plain wa_;'.tha‘t she does. Mrs. Woodhull may justly be proud of her Koizomo audience, for it was such an one as rarely con- gregateg toﬁheair a lecture. There were a large number of most respectable 1a,&1e~.s, old and young.

NEW YORK, SATURDAY, FEB. 12, 1876.- WE are prepared to furnish a few hundred complete sets of the ﬁrst series of Bible Articles consisting of ﬁfteen num- bers of the WEEKLY, for one dollar, postage paid. Our friends should lose no opportunity to bring these articles to the attention of those whom they can interest. A careful study of all of them is necessary to a complete understand- ing of the great and’ all-important truth that is yet to be re- vealed; which must be carefully and judiciously brought be- fore -the world, as the sun comes upon it, bringing ﬁrst the break-of-day, next its dawn, and afterward its full meridian . splendor. __4Q. .4 * wr THE DOUBLE TRIANGLE ; OR, THE SIX-POINTED STAR IN THE EAST. For we have seen his star in the East, and we are come to worship him.——Sr.- MATTHEW, ii., 2. / This ﬁgure is allegorical of the truth, to the exposition of which the WEEKLY is now devoted. ‘It has been clearly shown in our present series of leading articles that it repre- sents the coming blending together of the inhabitants of the earth and spirit spheres in a common brotherhood, and the establishment thereby of the universal human family. It also represents still another and moreimportant truth which has not yet been introduced, but which, deﬁned in a few words, is, God in man reconciling the world unto Himself. We adopt this diagram as emblematic of our future work I “ THE NEW DEPARTURE.” It is now nine months since we announced that we were to enter upon what has generally received the designation of. “ the new departure,” but it is scarcely six months since that departure was at ,,a stage of development in which it began to be evident to many of our readers of what it really consisted. Even at this time a few only have seized upon the meaning of the ﬁnal truth involved; but a very great many haV9 11I1de1‘st0‘0d and} appropriated and endeavored 33° _°°nf°m1 th9i"1iVeS 30 the first principles, which course, It be adhﬂed. 139 strictly, will ultimate in bringing ltd devoteeh to the ﬁnal development. We have always en- deaﬁiored to impress it upon our readers that this develop- ’ ment is something that cannot be bought, cannot be bar- gained for, cannot be obtained by any compromise; but that it has got to be sought through a stern devotion to the truth for the sake of the truth itself; and that the very ﬁrst step of real progress that can be made toward it is the step which people take when they pass from a desire for the truth for a selﬁsh purpose, into a desire for it for its own sake, irrespective of the results that may follow its adoption into practical life. It is utterly impossiblefor a large part of the race, at the present time, to desire the truth in this way. It is too strongly steeped in the dregs of self-interest; and there is too little love of the neighbonas of self to make it possible save through a long process of development. But there is a very considerable minority of the people who are really for the truth, and who endeavor to live it as fast as they know what it is. ‘ We have been censured not a little because we have not, before this, made a clear? and decisive statement of what the ﬁnal truthabout the new departure consists. Our an- swer to these ccnsures has been that it would do no good. for us to make a statement of this truth to any who could not obtain at least a faint idea of what it is from the alle- gorical statements of it which we have quoted from the bible, with such additional explanations in the same way that suggested thsmselves to our minds, and such light as we have been able to cast upon them. It is a fact, although not generally understood or recognized that, when a person arrives at a given stage of development, the truth which belongs to that stage, will flow into his or her mind and become a part of the individual; and especially is this true, when this truth is presented, even in a ﬁgurative way, to such developed persons. To have presented the truth in question to those who are not yet developed to the plane where it is naturally com- prehended would havc been to them like presenting the rule of square or cubic-root to an individual who had ar- rived at simple multiplication or division only, with which to solve his usual, every day routine of business. In this case, the individual thinking—having some faith-that the new method would be attended with the results stated as belong- ing to it, would attempt to reduce it to practice, and would, of course, fail, and having failed, would apostatize to the good that really belongs to the advanced methods, and be thereby placed in a relatively worse position to any future adoption of the method than he would have occu- pied had he been left alone. The same results would have followed the new departure if we had stated the law more plainly than we have. Had we stated it in plain terms, which all could understand, many would have at- tempted to reduce the statement to practice, and would have failed because their plane of _ development spiritually was not such as to make a realization of the new truth pos- sible. It is a singular fact, yetjnone the less true because singu- lar, that the developmentjof the individual as an; individual and as a member of the community, keep pace together, and as a consequence of this that the modiﬁcations which occur in organic social, and all other systems, depend upon the growth of the individuals of whom the society is composed. That is to say, it would be impossible to form a co-operative society of individuals who were ﬁt subjects of an absolute monarchy; or a commu- nity of those who are only politically devel- oped into republicanism. So in this new truth it would be impossible for those who are not developed nearly to the plan upon which it naturally belongs, to re- duce itto a practical life This is a -thing to be arrived at by social development. Social things are governed as abso- lutely by the law of evolution as are material things, and the fruit of a high order of social growth cannot be appro- priated by those who represent only a low order of the same growth. In applying this statement,. it must be remembered thatwhethcr one represent a high or a low order, it is not a matter of personal merit or demerit, but a result of causes over which the subject often has no control. Then, when we say that some classes are not grown into the possibility of receiving the new truths as a guide of life, we mean no personal reflection any more than it would be a reflection upon; the jimson to compare it with the rose. In no case, however, have we refused to make a clear, colloquial exposition of the new truths to such as have re- quested it, having ﬁrst been assured that they had some glimpses of what it is. But, besides these cases, we are in receipt, almost daily and the number is rapidly increasing, of letters from all parts of the country, which clearly in- dicate that the seed which we have sown has already taken root in many places. Many who have not yet conceived the ultimate fact, have taken earnestly hold of what We . have said must precede its reali.zation,{such as proper modes of life—including' personal cleanliness (which is next to god- llness,) diet, and especially the relations of the sexes. It is utterly futile for one to wish to have the full truth when he is not suﬂiciently in earnest’ to adopt these reforms as preliminary and preparatory steps. No person who is habit- ually a stranger to bathing the whole person; who lives on swine’s ﬂesh, or upon anything into which it enters as a component part; who drinks any stimulating drinks’, alco- holic or otherwise; who chews or smokes tobacco; who prostitutes the body either by unwilling commerce to satisfy the demands of selﬁsh lust, or who is habitually deceitful, and who “loveth and malécth a lie," need attempt to live the new truth or to attain to a higher life, until the practice is abandoned. Four out of every ﬁve persons who are accustomed to some one or all of these habits, espec- ially married people accustomed to the next to the last, will say it is impossible for them to abandon them. Well, then, we must say that it will be impossible for them to attain to immortality in the ﬂesh, or to become the means of resurrection to their friends from the dead. But we aﬁirm that it is not only possible for anybody of firm purpose to abandon all these death-dealing habits, these contracts with the devil, but that they will be no sooner abandoned, {and natural, life-giving habits adopted in their place, than blessings will begin to be realized, which will make arelapse to the former impossible. If we could pre- sent tbc substances even of letters which we are receiving, our readers would be astonished at the results that have already been attained by earnest efforts to live for the better -life. The general tenor of them all is, however, this: That since we have endeavored to overcome mere lustful and animal gratiﬁcation, and have sought after that spiritual exaltation which seems naturally to follow an abandonment of the former, we have experienced almost marvellous changes; and what before was §prostrating, weakening, and which had a tendency to nervous irritability, has turned into a singularly beautiful consecration. A husband writes: “ I had been theoretically a free lover many months. but yeti had held my companion in bonds of which I am now thouroughly ashamed. I suffered intensely before I could break these bonds and let her go free, but thanks be to God and your presentation of the truth, I have broken them, and as a result. the love that existed between us is made all the stronger and purer, and we experience what Theodore Par- ker said true marriage should be—a constant falling in love. Still we feel that progress must be slow, principally on ac- count of the wrong conditions in which I grew to manhood, the effects of which have never been fully outgrown.” A wife writes: “As we think and talk of you, and the truths you are try- ing to teach the world, a feeling of reverence steals over us, something sucl: as I suppose the disciples must have felt for J esus; for we feel that through you we have had glimpses of the higher life. For several months I have had what I came to call my happy days. At ﬁrst I did not recognize the cause of them, but when my sister spoke to me of herself, we dis- covered that they followed our attempts to abandon old methods and to live the higher life of the sexes that you teach. Upon these days I feel lifted above trials and cares, and live almost into the spirit. My husband did not at ﬂrst feel willing to sacriﬁce the bonds in which he had held me, but from which I was determined to be free; but when he heard of the experience of my sister a. desire for the truth began to enter his soul. Oh, how pure and holy are the relations of the sexes when raised from the plane of mere animal gratiﬁ- cation. There appears to come a. voluntary blending of the spiritual natures, of such beauty and glory, that it seems too sacred to even mention. I had never before realized what Paul meant when he said he knew‘a. man caught up into Paradise, and heard words which it is unlawful to mention.’ ” Another writes : “I had read everything that you had written about the Bible mystery, but could not catch a glimpse of what yog meant, and when you said that you could not tell it to anyone, but when any were prepared to receive it that it would come to them, I was almost despairing. I felt thus for along time, without a ray of light; but on Christmas evening, after read- ing ‘The Garden of Eden,’ and while talking with myhus- band about it, a light suddenly dawned upon my mind, and I seemed to know in an instant what this mystery is, and to realize that the higher life is the blending of our spiritual natures, upon a plane away above the thought even of physi- cal gratiﬁcation, and that when this condition is attained there will be no desire to ‘commit sin,’ as denominated by John, because there will come a glory that will completely overshadow the transient happiness of the carnal plane which too often is followed by fearful penalties, paid in suﬁering and misery-. ” We might multiply similar quotations almost without limit, but we must desist. We have not felt recently as if we ought to present inducements to entice any into attempt- ing to live the higher life advocated by the Apostles, but have left the subject to be conned and thought over by those whom we had interested ; and we do not now do so so for the purpose of enticement, but rather to show that V the good seed which has been sown has taken root in many a thankful heart. One thing, however, we may say, and that is this, that, when this subject shall come to be one of perfect familiarity and conﬁdence between the parties to it, they are on the direct road to the higher life, Probably at no period of the world’s history has there been a time when there was not living some one or more who had had the ex- perience of the hidden mystery of the Bible ; but as they did not know what it really was, nor what it meant, or that it was the ' hidden mystery, it did not remain with them. “And there are not less than a dozen known to us now who have had the same experience; but as they did not know what it was or what it meant, they fell away from it, and since learning what the mysterious experience was, have not beenlable to renew it.

It is a truth that is destined to kill the beastly lust that runs up and down the earth like a roaring lion, seeking whom it may devour ; indeed this lust is this roaring lion, and it is devouring the world and rapidly reducing it to be a ﬁt sub- ject for a general pestilence. Things cannot go on long as they are going, All the evidences point to a general culmi- nation of events.

The Credit Mobiliers and Whiskey Rings in poli- ties are going down and will carry the system of which they are the legitimateresult along with them; the dissatisfac- tion among the laborers, especially in the coal mines of Pennsylvania and the cotton mills of Massachusetts, speak in equally potent terms of the doom that awaits the despot- ism of capital. The prophecies of Malachi are at the cul- minating point. He said (Malachi iii, 5,): “And I will come near to you in judgement; and I will be a swift witness against those who oppress the hireling in his hire.”, James, “the servant of God” also said: “Go to now ye rich men, weep and howl for the miseries that shall come upon you. Behold the hire of the laborers who have reaped down your ﬁelds, which is. of you kept back by fraud, crieth;” the rottenness and supineness of the Church—- the Brooklyn business; the Bible in the Schools question; the movement against the exemption of church property from taxation, testify of the downfall of modern Christianity; while behind them all, and fnore potent than them all, is the universal dissatisfaction, in many places, and more and more frequently breaking out into open rebellion (side Brydges— McKenzie case of recent date), existing in our social rela- tions. Never before in the world’s history were all these departments of society in ferment at one and the same time. And that they are now so, indicates that some general revo- lution is at hand in which the old shall go down, and that a new order into which everything will be consolidated, shall rise. It has been suggested, and it is unquestionably a de- batable subject, whether the masses of the people can endure the changes that must come through a general revo- lution ; whether there is virtue, health and strength enough to carry them successfully over the chasm. We do not hesitate to -say, that the ability to go safely over will de- pend upon a given standard of moral virtue and physical hea1th——not, perhaps, the virtue that passes under that name to-day, but,_at all events. that virtue which is of the heart with Which} neither law nor custom, nor any other creature, can interfere to deﬁle it ; nor perhaps the health that passes current generally to-day; but, ;in any event, that health which comes by reason of the body having yielded up the supremacy to the resident spirit, and become its servant in place of its master. Those who have any belief whatever that there are to be great changes, should, by every possible means, prepare to nieetlthem; to set his house—his body—in order. In the ﬁrst place, they should eat nothing but living food ; should cease loading their systems down with (no matter how fresh it may appear), already dying ﬂesh from which the life principle has escaped (butchers get the best of what they kill, and they are always fat); they should drink such ﬂuid as is required to maintain the necessary ﬂuidity of the system. The liquid part of the body is not tea or coffee, nor is it whiskey, beer, or wine; ;_it is water. Neither does a healthy system demand stimulation or narcotization ; it demands nourishment only. Stimulants or narcotics in the form of any of the“ mixed drinks ” or in that of sauces (Wor- cestershire and the like) pepper, spices,etc., serve to tickle the palate, and abnormally affect the body, and always tend to sever the intimate relations which ought to exist between the spirit and its external abode, while the __aim of life should be to promote these relations, and, as we have said, ﬁnally to bring the body into perfect subjection to the spirit, and thus make it superior to all external inﬂuences. But more than all things else, should all unnatural com- merce cease, and this comes home to our married friends! Let every man who reads this article, who has a wife whom he imagines that he owns in any sense, at once set her free and never debase his manhood or degrade her womanhood by demanding or even insisting upon relations to which she does not give a free assent. Though this may be a hard thing ;to do, remember the testimony of the letters which we have quoted, and know that it is the direct road to greater happiness than is possible while you hold a slave; and to every woman who is enslaved, we say, Assert and maintain your freedom, at any risk or cost, and never permit your God-ordained functions to be prostituted by unholy touch. And to both, that no menzbers of your bodies were given for the mere purpose of the happiness or the pleasure that their exercise may bring ; but that each one is a medium for some great and necessary purpose in the divine economy, beyond the local functional action, through _ which it must be secured. Any functional use that any organ of thebody may perform, which has no purpose beyond the mere fact of the enjoyment that attaches to the act, is a: lustful use, and this belongs to no speciﬁc organs, but applies alike to all. He who would, place his life upon a secure footing, and he who would “ never taste of death,” must at once and forever abandon all mere selﬁsh things, and rise into the superior condition of harmony with all things. In other words, he must keep the law laid down by Jesus to the lawyer, to “‘ love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind ; and thy neighbor as thyself. “Do this and thou shalt live ” but not without. , Hence it will be seenithat the things to which we hold, are not of an empyrical character; but that they must be at- tained to, if attained at all, by the strictest adherence to the laws of ‘God, as exempliﬁed in nature and symbolized in the doctrines and precepts of Jesus. But with this always kept in view: That physical creation is the effort of God to reduce matter into subjection to Him; to mould it into such perfection that it shall become a perfect external manifestation of Himself, and that this -perfect manifesta- tion can never come save through the perfect unity~—the perfect blending ——fof the sexes, because in this perfect blending will occur the ﬁrst complete reconciliation of spirit and matter——man standing representative of God, and woman of nature, in the blending. Jesus was the Son of God, because in his person all the attributes of God were actualized. It remains yet for the Daughter of God to be made manifest before the new dispensation can be ushered in; bnt when she shall be manifested, and the dispensation ushered in- then will come the marriage of the. Bride and the Lamb, and the “Mystery of God ” shall be ﬁnished. This is that up to which the new departure leads. IS IT BACKWARD OR FORWARD? “ Freeloveism had no advocacy in Mrs. Woodhull’s Salem Speech.” _You will smile when I tell you that thus saith the Salem Republican, one of the local papers here. Victoria 0. Woodhull repudiating Free Love! 1 deem this a wholesale libel upon her.- As I am accustomed to defend- ing her and her principles, I felt it a duty to correct the mistake; therefore, under the head of “ Errata,” I addressed a few lines to that paper declaring that Mrs. W’s Salem Speech was one perfect stream of free love from beginning to ending; that the editors aforesaid did not know what free love was, although she plainly told them that “ mutual love and desire should regulate conjugal unions; that woman should control her own person; that only welcome children should be begotten and born.” Some of her hearers think she has changed her opinions in regard to some of the most radical utterances. I reply that Victoria will not refute any declaration she ever made upon “ Free Love.” But why have they concluded that she repudiates that which to them is unpalatable truth? I reply: Victoria has been condemned so severely for de- claring unwelcome truths. that her yearning heart would burst ere long did she not soften some of her expressions to which she has resorted to command the public attention, and plead for the love of the people; and I rejoice with my Whole soul that she is receiving it, for she deserves it from every- body. ' And thank heaven, a few of us are ready to come to her aid, and do some of the hard work and say some of the hard but true things that she has so long said alone. I know there are unpalatable truths which must be repeated, and for one I will volunteer in the unpleasant but dutiful task. It is time, 0 truth! that thou wer’t loved, for thine own sake; but I am willing to be hated for thy sakeyet a little longer. Then, dear WEEKLY, when you hear from me again, you may look for something that will arouse the disgust of the “respectables.’ There is work enough yet for a class of inconoclastic reformers who can no more afford to deal in that commodity called respectability than could Christ and his disciples. Yours for the purity of truth, SALEM Ohio, J an. 12th, 1876. ’ REMARKS. , We fear that a great many even of our long-time readers do not fully appreciate the various steps which reform should take. That this is true is evident from the above letter from our esteemed friend. not appreciate them, but that she sees that others do not, and has only half stated the case. We are aware that many who are not familiar with the real doctrines of freedom, but have gathered what they think they know about them from their misrepresentations inthe public press, upon hearing them SADA BAILEY. presented as they are now being presented on the rostrum, ‘ think that we have changed our convictions about free love. They can conceive of free love only in the sense of lust, and when they hear it offered as an inducement to, and an illustra- tion of, purity and morality, they do not call it free love at all, while, really, it is the only free love there is. It is true that we do not advocate, and that we never have advocated, what the editor referred to, thought we had, and as what he thought we advocated was his idea of free love, when he found that his idea of it was not ours, he, of course, felt as- sured that we do not advocate free love. But once for all, and all for once, we never have advocated and never shall advocate anything but free love ; no word of ours shall ever be said to have added to the disgrace of enforced love——lust ——-which is degenerating the race. As we have often said : These are the two al'ternatives——free love or enforced lust,—’ and all must range themselves ” under the banner of one or the other. But now more specially to our friends who have thought that they fully understood us and our views of free love. When we entered upon the war which we still wage against legal marriage, it was, as it were, a new rebellion. ’Tis true that others before us had presented the principles of freedom for the afIections,’and that they had been called free-lovers; Not that she does. but it is not true that any had entered into their advocacy with their whole strength and means organized to do battle against the existing social slavery. This we did, and since we did it our life has been devoted to the cause. Wherever it has been possible by tongue or pen we have waged the warfare with all our might, and spent all other time in de vising means to strike the next and harder blow against the institution for legalizing lust. So persistently have we waged this warfare-that some have said that we were insane upon the subject. If they have mistaken earnestness for insanity it has been because they had never seen any one thoroughly in earnest upon this subject. Who else has done as we have done ? Who has given up all other things in the world and followed this the last born truth ? Let those who have , cast the stone at us for what they may conceive to be our , lacking. But have we lacked ? Have we not rather pursued the better,ithe natural course. This contest has been similar to, and may be well illustrated by, that which the backwoods- man wages with the wildness of the forest into which he goes, to reduce it to utility and to make his home. His ﬁrst efforts are entirely destructive. He attacks the huge trees, cuts, them down and burns them up. He next makes war upon the remaining stumps and roots. These he contends against until they yield. Next he puts in his plow and tears up the whole surface of the earth which he intends to re- claim. Having done all this he resorts to milder means. Upon the coarse sod he places the ﬁne-tootlied harrow and levels the surface and reduces it to dust. Not until he has done all this does he reverse the process——does he change from destruction to construction. But now he sows the seed and covers it and leaves it to fructify and grow. So have we done. We went into the backwoods of social‘ wrong and degradation. True, others had been there and discovered the way, but we went there to battle. We went there to stay; to live until it should be reclaimed, and made a place in which humanity might properly be begotten. We went with the battle—axe; with the ﬁre-brand; with blasting ' powder,with dynamite even,to blow the whole thing to pieces. With all of these we made attacks here and therewheretheir services were required, and as long as they were required. Having broken down the most prominent obstructions to our purposes, we then put in the milder means; put in the V plow and turned up the whole surface of the ﬁeld in which We were engaged. We run this plow from Maine to Cali- fornia, and followed it again with ﬁner tools to prepare the soil to receive the seed, and now having opened the way into the ground where‘ the seed is to ﬂourish; having opened the hearts of the people, the time has come to sowthe seed and to carefully cover it where it shall germinate and grow, and ﬁnally yield itsfruit. And this we are doing now. The harsh means to which we were compelled to resort to obtain a foothold, are no longer required; and if they were used they would destroy the tender blades of freedom that begin to shoot above the crusts of law and custom. Had we used the milder means at ﬁrst, we should have met with the same result that the back- Woodsman would meet if he should attempt to sow his seed in the unprepared forest; we should have spent our time and substance without results. , To still further apply the simile, it may be said, in con- ﬁrmation of our friend’s views that, in this large ﬁeld there are still “a thousand places” scattered up and down the country where the same process, upon a smaller scale, will have to be pursued that has been applied in the general sense. At these places the destructive methods will have to be pursued, until “the ground is ﬁtted to receive the seed.” And with her we say, “thank heaven there are a_ few of us ready.” But whether they be few or many now, the time will come when there will be enough to do the work re- quired, after which there will be no need for “iconoclastic reformers”_ in this ﬁeld, and as all will come in time to think alike about it, then all will be held to be respectable who deal in social things. , But we must object to the interpretation ‘to which our friend has left her article open. If the social question in any form has become a respectable one to be considered; and if any who devote themselves to it can be held to be respectable, it is because it has been made to be res- pected; and not because we have ever sacriﬁced a truth, or neglected to do battle against any phase of wrong with which we -came in contact; or to speak boldly or to the point upon any given thing, in order to become respectable. We entered into this contest in earnest, and enlisted for the war,: and when the time shall come when the last blow is to be struck to break the last fetters that bind a sister woman in social slavery, we shall be there to see them fall. STLIL BOILING BENEATH THE SURFACE. For a long time we have refrained from meddling much with the Beecher scandal. The petty squabbling that fol- lowed_tlie half-and-half results of the lengthy trial were not profitable commodities. We knew well enough that the time must come in which all that remains concealed in this mon- ster scandal will be dragged to the light. It is in the order I of progress that this shall be so. Notwithstanding the im- mense work for the social question that the scandal has already accomplished, it» has not yet = done one-half its allotted part. The old, worn-out, moth-eaten, powder-posted, disordered and rotten social structure totters under the , ‘blows ithas received,‘ but its apologists and supporters’ are 3 . WOODHULL & OLAFjLIN’S.WEEKLY. Feb. 12, 18,7 6. , putting forth almost superhuman efforts to bolster it up andkeep it from falling. But their eﬁorts will be fruitless It is doomed to go the way of all the other lesser slaveries 'by- which the people have been held in bondage. We have been criticised, sometimes severely, for not having dealt an- other blow, after the close of the trial,as it had been in- ferred that we should; but why should we do that which time will do so much better. The time for us to speak will be when it is evident that the agitation has ceased; that all J is quiet on the Brooklyn Potomac, which is not the case now, nor has it been, by any means since the trial. Indeed, ’l‘lie couldron of bitterness; of heated internal warfare, never raged more violently than it is raging now in Brook- lyn, in fact in “these two cities,” for there has scarcely been a day in which “the Sun which shines for all” has not had one or more articles, compared with which every- thing else that we have seen anywhere, at any time, has been tame. Perhaps there never was as severe language printed against anybody as the Sun has printed against Mr. Beecher, and it has recently aiﬁrmed its purpose to continue to “do so” until, to use its own language, Mr. Beecher “shall be smoked out of his hiding place.” It has repeatedly applied all the epithets to him that the case has developed, as if challenging him to prosecute for libel. We.do not think that there is another man in the country who would dare to remain silent under the most positively printed charges of perjury which the Sun has time and again made. It seems to us that if Mr. Beecher was on “the ragged edge” when this affair began to come to light, that he must now be on “the rack” or in “the ﬂames” of the inquisition. In this regard he has become an object for sympathy rather than the contrary, and it is not, nor has it ever been, any part of our purpose to pursue Mr..Beecher for the purpose avowed by the Sun. Origi- nally we stated that itrwas not with Mr. Beecher that we were at war, but with the system of which he was the most powerful representative, and was selected because he was the most powerful; and we think that the truth symbol. ized by the killing of Goliah by the little sling of David has been veriﬁed to the satisfaction of the most skeptical, in this aﬁair; for has not the “little‘ stone of truth, hurled in the sling of the WEEKLY, brought the giant of social slavery to his knees, ﬁnally to fall in the dust and yield up his long-held power ? Mr. Beecher is the representative of all this, as the WEEKLY was the representative of the truth, and must needs still suffer that the race may be fully . , emancipated. But we give our readers the following‘ bit of evidence" ‘which has been so long, so jealously guarded, but which, as all the rest that is concealed must be, has been dragged forth. It is a question of time only, when Mr. Beecher will have to come to the point in this matter, in one of the only two ways that are left for him. It is simply impossible for this matter to end where it is, and it will not go backward ; it must go forward, and the following is one of the many evidences still coming to light, that it must: (From the N. Y. Sun, Jan. 20, 1876.) MORE SCANDAL TESTIMONY. The main element in the defence of Henry Ward Beecher against Theodore Tilton’s charge of adultery has been that it was a conspiracy to pull him down, and that: the basis of the conspiracy was the charge of improper proposals, which Tilton made up to the time of the publication of his letter to Dr. Leonard Bacon in 1874. Some testimony has recently been discovered to show that on December 14, 1870, over two weeks before Frank Moulton knew of the charge, and had met Mr. Beecher with it, that Oliver J ohnson, then Mr. Tilton’s associate and friend in the Independent ofﬁce in New York, said to Prof. Moses Coit Tyler, now of the Michigan University, that Mr. Tilton had discovered that Mr. Beecher had committed adultery with Mrs. Tilton. Prof. Tyler entered the Independent oﬂice _on the above named day and found Tilton at his desk, with his head buried in his arms, and apparently in great trouble. He asked Mr. Tilton what the trouble was. Mr. Tilton said that it was a private sorrow—the terrible calamity of his career— and asked him not to question him further. Mr. Tyler went into Oliver Johnson’s room. Presently both gentlemen came to Tilton and asked him to go to lunch. He refused. Mr. Tyler then pressed him to disclose the cause of his trouble. Mr. Tilton said that he would give Oliver Johnson his consent to tell him everything. _ At lunch Mr. Johnson told Prof. Tyler of the ruin that had been wrought. by Mr. Beecher in Ti1ton’s home, adding, “ It has nearly killed Tilton. We_ are turning heaven and earth to quiet him and keep it from public knowledge, and you must help us.” Mr. Tyler joined in the attempt to enforce the policy of silence. He was taken into the Chrtsttdn Unton oﬂice as one who knew the bottom facts, and could greatly assist Mr. Johnson in the management of that paper in the light of the knowledge of its chief editor’s crime. When the Bacon letter was published, all who knew Til- ton’s story trembled at the prospect of its full revelation. Mr. Johnson was especially disturbed. One day a lady’s card was sent to the editorial rooms for Mr. Johnson. He was lying on the sofa when it was handed to him. He was silent for a while, and then earnestly said, “Yes, I think I will go and . see her.” Prof. Tyler asked who it was that he was to see. Mr. Johnson handed him Mrs. Tilton’s card, on which was written a request for an interview at a place near by, which, it is thought, was her brother’s office. \ Mr. Johnson returned from the interview in high spirits, saying that he had done an excellent day’s work for Mr. Beecher. He explained to Mr. Tyler that Mrs. Tilton had sent for him to say* that she was afraid of. exposure, but to assure Mr. Beecher that she was ready and willing to do any- thing that he wished. She had written a letter in which there was a confession of hers in with Mr. Beecher. She felt thatﬁthis ought to be signed by Mr. Beecher and herself, and read from. the pulpit of Plymouth Church. with the declaration that they had sought, and, as they believe, has obtained the forgiveness of God for -their sin, and so they asked for the church’s forgiveness.- _ ’ _ _ _ Y Mr. Johnson showed this letter, it is said, to Mr. Tyler, and he read it. He said that Mrs. Tilton wished Mr, Beecher to read the confession, and she had asked Mr. J ohnsen how he thought Mr. Beecher would regard it. Mr. Johnson said that instead of securing the charitable consideration hoped for, I the-letter would be fatal to both. He promised to give the the -t M . B cher. , 1°Prhf.°TyIer glide known these facts to a gentleman in this city on Sunday, Jan. 2, of this year, when he was visiting New York. He consented to tell them that Moulton and Tilton might be relieved of the charge of conspiracy. It was designed to have Mr. Tyler go before the proposed mutual council with his story, but now that that council is upset, the facts are allowed to be made public in this way. . PROF. TYLER PUTS’ HIS FOOT INTO IT. (From the N. Y. Sun, J an. 27th, 1876.) To the Editor of the Sun—SIR: I have seen your paper of an. 20, containing an article entitled “More Scandal Tes- timony,” and professing to‘~give the substance of some state- ments made by me in a private conversation with two friends in New York on Sunday, Jan. 2. I appealed to your courtesy to allow me room in your coluins to say a few words in comment upon the article refered to. 1. Whatever I said was said in a strictly private talk, and the publication of any part of it was -not “allowed” by me, but has given me great surprise and vexation. 2. I care less for that, however, than for the extreme in- accuracy of your report The statements made by me have expanded and multiplied themselves wonderfully on there journey to your oﬂice, so that your report has scarcely an item that is exactly true, while a great many of its items are totally false. In short. notwithstanding your well known love of the truth, you have beenseriously imposed upon in this instance. 3. It is true, however, and I am sorry to say it, that I have had some acquaintance with this most miserable business ever since December, 1870; but my knowledge of it involves testimony far less decisive than your article implies. How- ever, that testimony, be it decisive or otherwise. is not yet for thepublic, It would be ‘quite immodest in me, with my incomplete knowledge of the case, to take the ﬂoor in ad- vance of more highly qualiﬁed persons who have thus far been kept, in the background . Mosns CoIT TYLER. ANN ARBOR, Jan. 24. 1876. Prof. Tyler should have remained silent, he does know something got the “ miserable T,business.” If it is not unfav- orable to Mr. Beecher, why should he not tell what he knows? He desires that 1-,“more highly quailﬁed persons who have kept in the background shall take the ﬁ001'i11 advance of him. Who, Professor, Who! (From the N. Y, Sun, J an. 29, 1876.) WHAT A PERSON wHo HEARD THE STORY FROM THE PRO- :rEssoR’s LIPS SAYS ABOUT IT. It was ascertained yesterday that Prof. Moses Coit Tyler made known the Beecher scandal facts in his possession to three persons in this c1ty——two gentlemen and a lady—who reaﬂirm the facts as printed in the Sun are correct, the only point in dispute being whether Prof. Tyler said that he had read the confession of guilt prepared for the Church by Mrs. Elizabeth Tilton and given to Oliver Johnson, with the re- quest that it should be presented to Mr. Beecher for his sig- nature. A letter written by one of the persons who heard the story from Prof. Tyler was, yesterday, shown to a re- porter. It contains the following: «- The facts as stated by Prof. Tyler in the presence of my- self and another gentlemen on the 2d of January, 1876, were these; That on the 14th day of December. 1870, while visit- ing in New York, Mr. Tyler called upon Mr. Tilton, with wh om he was on intimate terms, at the oﬂice of the Indepen- dent. He found Mr. Tilton in great sorrow. Mr. Tyler asked Mr. Tilton to disclose to him th cause of his depression. Mr. Tilton replied that he could not do so. Tilton added, “ Oliver (Oliver Johnson. his assistant editor) knows all about it and he may tell you.” Tyler said Oliver J oh nson invited him (Tyler) to lunch with him. They went to a reg- tau-rant on Broadway, near the Astor house. During the lunch Tyler said that Oliver Johnson told him “ That Mr.? Beecher had seduced Mrs.Tilton.” I Mr Tyler used these very words. He said, moreover, that the discloure made such an im- pression upon him, that,’ although he did not keep a diary regularly, he noted this disclosure down at that time, and that it was on the 14 th day of December,l870. Mr. Tyler said that directly after the publication by Mr. Tilton of his letter to Dr. Bacon, two or three days after- ward, he (Tyler) was lying upon a couch, in one of the edi- torial rooms of the_Chre'sttdn Union, when a card was brought in by a boy and laid upon Oliver Johnson’s table, Mr, John- son being out. Presently, he said, Mr Johnson came in, and went into his own room. Mr. Tyler said he heard Mr. J ohn- son say, “I guess I will go and see her.” He came out, and told Mr. Tyler that Mrs. Tilton had sent for him to come ‘to her brothers oﬂice in Broadway, and I think Mr. Tyler said Johnson showed him Mrs. Tilton’s card and message, Mr. Johnson went out, and was gone some time. When he returned he told Mr. Tyler that Mrs. Tilton had come to ﬁnd out from him what Mr. Beecher wished her to do in view of the publication of the Bacon letter; that she said she was ready to do anything Mr.‘ Beecher wished her to do. But Mr. Johnson said Mrs. Tilton had drawn up a statement or letter of confession of their mutual sin, which stated that they believed they had received the forgiveness of God, and they now asked the forgiveness of all mankind, which state- ment or letter she proposed to submit to Mr. Beecher for himito sign and submit to Plymouth Church. The further details of {the conversation now remembered are that Mr. Tyler said that after he was taken into the Chr tsttan Union to help to,guide its affairs for Mr. Beechers’ safety, there was a continual dread in the oﬁice among those whoiknew of his guilt less some message should reach them of his suicide. Mr. Tyler also said that he had told these facts to the Rev. Dr. Eddy of Detroit, to one of the editors of a Buffalo paper, and to other persons. In every case ,’in which his nearer was in doubt as to Mr. Beeoher’s guilt his facts carried conviction. Prof. Tyier’s ambiguous denial provokes the persons to whom he told the facts, and ;is unsatisfactory to Mr, Bee- - cher’s adherents. From the Springﬁeld Republican. 1 CONFIRMATION RATHER THAN CONTRADICTION. Prof. Coit Tyler's denial of the story about the Beecher business, printed as coming from him through conﬁdential friends in New York, is not of a very effectual and dispelling sort—indeed rather goes to confirm the substantial truth. of what was published on this authority. .44 Vf TURNING THE TABLES. It is not too much to assert that at present there is open war between thesexes. Chaos is now the ruler of the so- cial world. Woman is beginning to learn that a girl with a derringer is physically master of Hercules with his club. At Massillon in Ohio, Emily Richardson is charged with killing her husband by shooting him through thehead with a pistol, and Mrs. Fowler of Berlin Heights, in the same State, is charged with administering oxalicacid to her better half also. These are sad. pictures of legal matrimonial iufelicity, 1 which we record with sorrow, though they go to show the necessity for the grand reform we have so long advocated. I As a counterpart to -the above we quote an article from the N. Y. Sun of Jan 29. to show that man begins to feel that he is put upon his mettle, and is proposing to attack woman inside as well as outside of our law courts. It is as follows: * “LOUIVSILLE, Jan. 28,—A1fred Reddick,a youth sixteen years of age, formed a liaison some months ago with the wife of David Bees in Nashville, Teu-n. To—day Mrs. Rees for- bade Beddick coming to see her, and some time later he went into her husbands apartment, procured a pistol, and killed himself. Reddick seemed passionately fond of Mrs. Rees. The Ooroner’s jury found a verdict of suicide, and charged the woman with being the cause of the deed.” We trust that, after the above ﬁnding of the jury, Mrs. Rees will be tried for the murder of the young man Alfred Reddick, and that the same measure of justice will be meted out to all male seducers also. True, we cannot con- ceive how the supporters of our present legal and ecclesias- tical inarriage systems can condemn Mrs. Rees for deciding to preserve her conjugal ﬁdelity, but it will be the province of the lawyers to enlighten us upon the subject. Come, gentlemen of Tennessee, on with the cause, and prove your- selves worthy descendents of your progenitor “Adam”——by reasserting his woi'ds—“the woman tempted me and I did eat.” LECTURE EN GAGEMEN TS.

The paper edition of this oration is exhausted; but we have just received the pamphlet edition, which, to meet the extraordinary demand that has been made for the paper, we will furnish in lots of ten at $1, or more at same rate. LIFE-SIZE LITHOGRAPH. We have just received the first edition of life—size litho- graphs of Victoria 0. Woodhull, from the lithographic establishment of Armstrong & Co., of Boston, Mass. They are splendid pictures, both as awork of: art and as like- nesses. They are printed on heavy paper 20 X24 inches, and specially adapted for framing. They will be sent post- paid, securely wrapped to guard against damage, to any address for 50 cents. The common price of lithographs of this size is $2; but we have arranged with the publisher to furnish them in large quantities at such rates that they can be resold at» the price named without loss to us. They are thus put within the means and reach of everybody who desires to have a splendid life-size portrait of the Editor-in- Ohief of the WEEKLY, who has devoted her life wholly to the inauguration of a new dispensation on earth, in which misery, vice and crime shall have no place.

From the following, it would seem that there is likely to be a small piece of 7 a rebellion, in the camp of the “faithful” who ‘‘ following in the steps of Henry Ward Beecher, and who are so blinded by the glare of enforced legal lust, that they imagine free love to be some vile thing. Can it be really true. after all that there are other women besides “ Victoria Woodhull doing harm to the cause of suffrage.’ It would seem so at least, from the following, which we clip from the Boston Corespondence, of the Springfield Mass. Republican: At the women suffrage hearings and conventions, yester- day and to-day, there were many speakers, but Wendell Phillips, although announced, was not among them. The uneasiness and discontent that have been smoldering for some years under the peculiar management of the woman-suf- frage cause in Massachusetts by Lucy Stone and Mr. Black- well, found some utterance at the convention, and may show itself more actively hereafter‘ The minority (perhaps a ma- jority after all) say that everything is arranged for the con- venience of the managersof the Woman’s J ournal,—-that they insist on so directing affairs that the cause of woman suﬂrage makes no real progress in Massachusetts, and needs to be taken up in a very different way. They protest against drag- ging it along at the tail-board of the republican party-wagon, which is reverseing Emerson’s maxim, and hitching a star be- hind a wagon. The endorsement of Gov. Rice by the Stone- Blackwell Wing of the suﬁ'ragists was specially called in question, but there was either strong hinting or open criti- cism on other points. The fact is, that Mrs. Stone and her husband have shown as‘ pronounced a taste for political in- trigue and wire-pulling as is generally found in the old party organizations, while, by their quarrel with Wendell Phillips and Mrs. Stanton, their unreasonable championship of San Domingo annexation and Henry Ward Beecher,—-and their equally unreasonably protest against centennial celebration, —they have disaffected many of the best friends of the wom- an—suﬂrage cause in Massachusetts. MARK TAYLOR, a young negro at Sedalia. Mo., has gone ma (1 and believes himself to be the Saviour. In his paroxysms, he recites whole chapters and even books of the Bible without missing a word, a feat all the more remarkable because he cannot’ read, and was always a vicious boy.

I N o more pen paralysis! No more spinal curvature because of the drudgery of the pen. The Type- Writer has found rapid acceptance wherever intro- duced, and has fully sustained the claim that its work is twice as fast, three times as easy and ﬁve times legible as that of the pen. It paragraphs, punctuates, underscores and does ﬁgure work—in a word, all things necessary to the production of a perfect manu- script. Any size or quality of paper may be used, and the most satisfactory results obtained, at a saving in time and strength of at least one hundred per cent The Type-Writer “manifolds ” ﬁfteen copies at once, and its work can also be copied in the ordinary copy-press. READ’ THE FOLLOWING INDORSEMENTS. What Mr. Jenny, of the New York Tribune, says about it: NEW Yonx, June 10, 1875. DENSMORE, Yosr & Co.: Genllemen——I am an earnest advocate of the Type- Writer. Having thoroughly tested its practical worth, I_iind it a complete writing machine, adapted to a Wide ran e of work. The one I urchased of you several wee s since has been in dai y use, and gives perfect satisfaction. I can write with it more rapidly and legibly than with a pen, and with inﬁnitely greater ease. Wishing you success commensurate with the merits of your wonderful and eminently useful in- vention, I am, respectfully yours, ' E. H. JENNY. OFFICE or DUN, BARLOW & Co., COM. AGENCY, } 335 BROADWAY, New York, Dec. 8, 1874. GIentlemen—-The Ty e-Writers we purchased of you last June for our ew York, Albany and Buﬁalo oﬁlces have given such satisfaction that we desire you to ship machines immediately to other of our oﬂlces at Baltimore, Cincinnati, Detroit. Hartford, Louisville, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and no more to our New York oﬁice, 335 Broadway. We think very highly of the machine, and hope you will meet with good success. Respectfully yours, DUN, BARLOW & CO. OFFICE or WESTERN UNION TELEGRAPH Co., ' CHICAGO, July 8, 1874. DBNSMORE, Yosr &, Co.: Gentlemen—Having had the Type-Writer in use in my oﬂice during the past two years, I do not hesitate to express my conviction of its great value. Its best recommendation is simply to say that it is a complete writing machine. The work of writing can be done with it faster, easier and with a better result than is possible with the pen. The time required to learn its use is‘ not worth mentioning in comparison with the advantages afforded by the machine. Yours truly. ANSON STAGER. What Governor Howard of Rhode Island says: PHENIX, R. I., March 27, 1875. DENsiioEE, YosT & Co.: 0entlemen——We have now had the Type-Writer about a month, and are entirely satisﬁed with it. There can be no doubt in regard to its usefulness. When I saw the advertisement of the machine originally I had little faith in it. An examination s_urp1'ised me, but not so much as the practical Working has. We have no trouble whatever with it. and it is almost constantly in operation. I think that it must rank with the great beneﬁcial inventions of the centur . Very truly yours, HENR HOWARD. MORRISTOWN, June 29, 1875. DENsuonE, Yosr & Co.: - . G'entlemen—The Type-Writer which I _bought of you last March I have used ever since, and I wish to ex- press my seiise of its very great practical value. In the first place_, it k_eepsin the most perfect order, never failing in doing its work. I find also, after having used it for four months, that I am able to write twice as fast as with the pen, and with far greater ease. The mechanical execution has become so far instinctive that it takes far less of the attention of the mind than was the case with the pen, leaving the whole power of the thought to be concentrated on the composition, the result of which is increased vigor and strength of exéiression. The result is also so far better than the ol crabbed chirography that it is a great relief both to myself and to my correspondents. The sermons written in this Way are read with perfect ease by in- valids and those who for any cause are kept from church on Sunday, which ﬁl s a want often felt by ministers. And altogether. if I could not procure another, I would _not part with this machine for a thousand dollars; in fact, I think money is not to be weighed against the relief of nerve and brain that it brings. Yours, very truly, JOHN ABBOTT FRENCH, Pastor First Pres. Ch., Morristown, N. J .

DAVIS. A very pertinent question; for salvation is no myth, although it is not found in the orthodox fashion, nor yet is it found in any sense of the word until it is fairly earned. As uncompromising as the Abolitionists who refused to call this a free country, while the manacles clanked upon the limbs of one negro, so do we refuse a system of salvation which is incapable of ministering to the needs of every soul. The life which enfolds us physically may be properly termed the foundation of all life. Of the building erected thereon the superstructure is the intellect; the dome which crowns the whole is spiritual growth and perceptivity. Materialism compasses the needs of foundation and super- structure. Spiritualism en-wraps, the whole, from «dome to lowest foundation stone. Spiritualism is materialism, with the addition of a soul; it is Pygmalion waking to life his statue in the earthly clods insensate. Man in his threefold life, as a physical, intellectual, and spiritual being, has need of a threefold religious and social Culture. To ignore the one department of his existence for the other, is_the fatal mistake committed by most systems of religion. Materialism is the reaction of the perverted Spiritualism in the religious code of the middle and early centuries. The mediseval saint ignored his physical inheritance. His body was a huge excresence on his soul, to be burned, scourged, and fasted away in an earthly Valhalla of self- denial. To be a ﬂeshless unincorporate soul was the very acme of existence. To be imprisoned in a body which knows hunger, thirst, disease, amative impulse, and death’s corruption, fretted the would-be saint with dire impatience of earth, its contingen- cies and associations. He answered the query: “ What shall I do to be saved?” throughshameful neglect and cruciﬁxion of the basic principle of his being. The foundation being omitted, the intellectual and spiritual man was a starveling, where his physical imbecility was a success; where not, he was a hypocrite. _ _ By so much as he ignored the materialism of life, by so much was he incapacitated from prescribing a safe and speedy process of salvation from the sin of ignorance. V The theologic» plan of salvation says: “Take care of the soul and let the body take care of itself.” ' Materialistic salvation says. “Take care of the body and let the soul take care of itself ”——a decided improvement upon the old plan, but not covering the entire ground by any means. These systems are only twofold——the body expunged from the one, the soul from the other. The Spiritualistic salvation is threefold, and the one for which our organizations clamor the loudest, and will not be educated properly in all departments without. _ ‘ The law and order of salvation consists in the evolution from the scientiﬁc knowledge of the present, of a system of physical and spiritual growth that shall ripen every faculty of our-‘beings; that shall evolve perfect bodies f_or the ten- antry of pure souls; that shall redeem manhood, woman- hood and childhood from all abuses of the holy temple of God—the human body—by gross self-indulgence, by pamper- ing abnormal appetites until the lamp of life burns so low that it cannot longer resist these ﬁtful gusts of morbid pas- sion, ﬂickers a brief uncertain moment, then goes out for- ever, leaving the soul barren of rich results—-the carefully garnered wealth of a life well lived and replete with pure thoughts. puredeeds, pure loves. ’ Such is the salvation we all also for, but so many of us have weighed anchor on the sea of eternity fora life voy- age in such unwieldy, decayed and worthless vessels, that a wreck or premature termination of the voyage on the shoals or reefs of inherited disease, and mad passion, are the inevit. able I'6Bi1.1t5 Of. a large proportion of the voyages of life.

Look to Jesus for your salvation, says the theologian. We have contemplated the cross for centuries; how much better are we, physically, because of such contemplation? Cross contemplation has afforded a leaning post for every morbid sluggard. Because one man has died for a truth, is no good and sufficient reason why we should die in him to any in dividual work for ourselves. - VVhen we trace the need of salvation back to its source, we ﬁnd that the transgression of an inquisitive Adam and Eve’ has nought to do with its necessity, and that the cruciﬁxion of the Jewish philanthropist is of no more avail to stem the tide of our ignorance, than is a child’s hand to stay the rush- ing torrent of Niagara. . Humanity has a chronic distaste for home truths, and the preacher has been popular in proportion as he steered clear of all unpleasant allusions, and conﬁned himself to the story of salvation by the cross, omitting to mention thatthe cross has no remedial power for those who fail to work as well as 5 pray; popular so long as he did not urge brain and stomach salvation, and laid not a ﬁnger upon the veil shrouding the iniquitics of social life, and pretended not to see the grinning skeleton of excess peeping from the eye, seeking expression from the tongue, shadowing the life; popular so long as he did our thinking for us, and told us that ’twas good to be good for Jesus’ sake! As if, our lives were going to beneﬁt a. man who has been dead for centuries, and who has left earthly things so far behind him that they-have become more motes in his memory, “and wl1o cares not a rush whether A eats meat or ﬁsh Friday, whether B keeps Saturday or Sun- day, or C believes or disbelieves the story of the immaculate conception! Clearly, salvation in its threefold character comes not by contemp lation of the cross. The most that has resulted from such contemplation is found in these enormous churches, useless six days out of seven, occupying the most elligible building sites, exempted from taxation, while rum shops, brothels, and the poverty- stricken but welltaxed homes of the laborers multiply so rapidly that crime and its parent poverty ﬁll our prisons and almshouses to overﬂowing, and our highways and by- ways with predatory bands of tramps. If these churches could be used as reformatory insti- tutions to investigate the cause and cure of crime, they would be pre-eminently useful in abating hell upon earth, into which humanity ‘is plunged through its ignorance of this most important, but least understood, of all questions- sexual holiness, perfection of the human body, the living temple of God. We want a salvation that will offer a road out of all this misery and darkness that rivets closer the chains of earth’s famishing millions, and curses society with the fruits of debauched passion whose highest sentiment is selﬁsh grati- ﬁcation. “ He prayeth best who loveth best; and_ he liveth well who loveth well,” are two axiomatic truths, whereby hangs the law of life. ‘ - To save ourselves from ourselves we must elevate, not de- and he. who degrades the coronal of being into animalism, commits the unpardonable sin, and while cursing posterity is eternally cursed himself by the recoil of his act. Phallic worship was the embodiment of an idea of physical per- fection and freedom from pruriency, toward the attain- ment of which we are struggling to-day. This idea, with us, will assume a diﬂerent expression than in its old time rendi-. tion, in accordance with the enlightenment and scientiﬁc research of the age. ’ We are jealous of our prerogatives as human beings above the brutes, and have not made good our claim by using those intellectual and moral‘ perceptions which have supplanted the ﬁxed unreasoning instinct of the brute, to win salvation, and attain, at least, as healthy bodies and normal functions through intellect as the brute owes to instinct. At birth we are nothing, save in possibility Thus, we are left in a measure, free. As animals alone, we are inferior, because our instincts as animal, and our attributes as human, become so confused and untrustworthy, that to save our- selves from becoming the meanest objects on the face of God's footstool. we need to supplant them with something higher; ‘and we ﬁnd that our only chance of gaining a useful and immortal existence consists in developing our- selves up to‘ that point for which we were designed-—-from ani- malism where we do not belong, up to Spiritualism, where we do belong. ’ ‘ _$/ Sexual salvation for the race is found in redeeming woman from centuries of serfdom, and selﬁsh, woful subjection to tyrannous lusts; found in purifying our bodies; found in gaining a knowledge of our physical functions, their uses and the penalty of ‘their abuses; found in a heaven of freedom where each individual owns himself, and is not the bond slave of anothers’ will or whim. Womanhood fettered to the lowest, excluded from the highest, is the curse of the world, arousing the just anger of nature, from which, cross contemplation can never redeem us. For woman the three- fold salvation tarries and waits for its divine consummation in humanity, through the mothers of the race. Woman’s kingdom is the human heart, and she prayeth, ruleth and loveth well, when she has puriﬁed her kingdom of selﬁshness and lust by her determination to quell sexual impurity in lieu of pandering to its larger growth, by abdication of her rightful throne and relinquishment of her sceptre of power. The keynote of woman’s salvation as a physical, intellectual and spiritual being, is struck when she becomes a selfhood with a distinct identity from man, yielding allegiance, not to her husband, but unto her conscience and her God. Woman then becomes, not the reﬂex of man, but an individualized half of the basic principle of the unive1'se—-sex—each com— plete through thejnon-encroachment of the one upon the sphere of the other. Then human life shall attain its dl'\VlllQ perfection, crime and injustice shall disappear, and the Uni- versal Republic shall take the place of the corrupt demagog- ism that new rules thecountry to its ruin. . Man’s physical salvation is secured through woman's eman- cipation ; the degradation of the mother is the degradation of the children she bears. Take heed that the spring of life be pure, for if the fountain head bepoisoned, coming genera- tions bear the cross and mount the Calvary that lies in the pathway of violated physical and moral law. Spiritual salvation aims to strike at the cause; theology aims to strike at client. One tries to heal over the bites of the old serpent of ignorance; thenother tries to remove the serpent that no more may be bitten. VVe do not want to outwit hell and the devil by hiding be- hind a cross; for how well is the world healed to—day after a treatment upon this plan of nearly nineteen centuries! ‘ When a. person gets far enough along on the road of free in- quiry to ask why God don’t kill the devil, be sure he is on the high road to true salvation, for he will speedily ﬁnd that the devil is his own ignorance, and that God intends that we shall slay our devils by educating ourselves into a knowledge and obedience of law, so that we may send forth no more half—made-up children that are no better than rabid dogs, to curse society, and make up our army of criminals, drunk- ards, prostitutes, paupers, imbeciles, tramps, and lunatics. Here are your devils: the abominations of ignorance. Slay them with the weapons of knowledge. Here is need of salvation; provide it from healthier bodies, better~balan,ced heads and riper souls. Exalt your physical functions above the slough of centuries of ignorant degradation and besotted passsion. Hold high the standard for manhood and Wtilllétll.- hood . Arise ye emancipated souls, and welcome the gist: new, era of a world’s redemption by the perfected typeof hu- manity, through the amalgamation of, and elimination from, the races, of the attributes and characteristics of each worth preserving and repeatin g. j ‘ The Millennial day draweth nigh; and how beautiful the thought that so many faces shall yet greet us through the salvation of "divine knowledge typiﬁed in the pictured divinity of face and form, the outcome of the puriﬁed and redeemed soul within. V Then, as on their natal day, shall the spheres chant the praise of the advent of 7a new race. Earth shall smile with a new gladness, and heaven will be found with gates wide open, not without, but within, the puriﬁed and redeemed soul of man. THAT “FINAL RECONCILIATION.” There certainly is to be a “ﬁnalreconciliation of all things” in spite of the quackeries, which in these latter days, have clustered around this phrase. The lion and the lamb shall lie down together; the Bismarcks, and the Pius Ninths and the Henri Delescluzes, shall meet in fraternal embrace. On the one hand,,there shall he the swords beaten into plow- shares. and the spears into pruning hooks; and on the other hand, the myriad seemingly contradictory doctrines that now divide men, hopelessly as one would say, shall have their u_n_-s WOODIIULL & CLAFLIN’B WEEKLY. Feb. 19, 1876. derlylng truths brought out into the clear day light, and be just so reconciled. On the one side, the “conservative spirit- ualism,” (whatever that may mean), with its “capital, la- bor’s best and only"friend,” its “superior sagacity,”t_aking “advantage of opportunities,” its “sweet by and by,” with its “millionnaire * * accounted as the benefactor of the race” ; on the other side, the “sell all that thou hast and give to the poor,” “that terrible‘camel’ business,” that “whip of ‘small cords,” with Dives roaring in hell and Lazarus sweetly reposing in Abraham’s bosom; and both sides having the truth,’the one side just as indispensable as the other. And yet, after all, truth is one; error, or What is the same thing, partial and one-sided truth, is alone divergent and contradic- tory. But no error was ever yet enunciated by human lips that had not a truth underlying it. ' How to eliminate the underlying truth. and so accomplish , that “ ﬁnal reconciliation of all things,” for which all noble hearts, and synthetic minds have ever been longing, and striving, is of course just the question, To attain this un- ' derlying truth is simple, the same thing as to arrive at the genuine “universolgy,” or, to coin a better word for. the ‘hence, “pantology”—neither word, by the by, having any fur- ther utility when once the thing itself is attained. From that moment, the word "science”vserves amply; for the uni- versal doctrine resulting from the application to all possible categoriesof thought, of that method of positive demonstra- tion which ﬁnally solves every problem, solves it past all pos- sible recall, putting an end, at once for all, to doubt and un- certainty, in spite of all the “free thought” in the world; is thatwhich will most assuredly constitute the universal faith of the future, leading up the now scattered and mutually hostile races of men to the normal, oneness of humanity. But then we are met here, ﬂnally by another divergence, another seeming hostility, one that looks at the ﬁrst blush more profound then any above indicated. On one side stands inspiration; on the other side,science, or rather the sciences, the strange new gospel of dispersed specialism, the Spencer- Darwin—Tyndall-Huxley—Draper N ihilism, with the elec- tric telegraph ﬂashing across an ocean and two continents its daily batch of lies, as a most ﬁt symbol of its sovoreiguty! these two social forces—for such indeed they are, notwith- standing the anti——social propensities of the latter——are evi- dently now gathering themselves up for a ﬁnal and decisive death struggle, the by-standers all feeling sure that one or the other must speedily succumb, be ﬁnally and deﬁnitively squelchcd, and to be no m ore heard of forever, save in the pages of curious history. And seeing that supernaturalism, from the very birth of science two thousand years ago in that little greek peninsula, destined to give intellectual light to a whole world, has been at every point, sooner or later- yes even when for special purposes it could secure itself a respite of a thousand years—forced to give way, and recog- nize the supremacy, in the sphere of pure intellect, of pos- itive demons_tration——these by-standers, Ii. (5. the freethinkers really free, come naturally enough to the seemingly unan- imous conclusion, that it is inspiration which has to go under, to pass away utterly and forever from among men. Only the very rare, really integral, minds, minds that can look at both sides and all sides of a great question, and not take for granted that the one side of the post facing the spot where they happen to stand is the whole post, can see-——and they will succeed, too, in ﬁnally demonstrating to to all mankind, along with the rest of normal universal doc- trine—that while supernaturalism has doubtless to give way to the all-conquering genius of positive science, that he in no way deprives inspiration of her own sphere. The conception of inspiration, like all other human conceptions, has doubt- less to undergo the transformation indicated in the law of the three states, the great universal law of progress. But it re- mains inspiration still. It is subject doubtless to immutable natural laws, which science,—the regenerated and uniﬁed science—has had to discover. But it is inspiration still, having its own function within its own sphere that can never be taken away. True enough the relations between science and inspiration are widely different from those that would be imagined by the pure inspirationist. But those who would pretend to systematize science while ignoring al- together the role of inspiration are clearly only quacks. A pretty science of history that would be, truly, that could not divulge the natural laws of a social force that has played such a part in the progressive development of our" race as has been played by inspiration! The play of Hamlet with the part of Hamlet left out would be consistency itself in comparison. RAMSHORN. AUDI ALTER AM PARTEM. NEW YORK, Jan. 19, 1876. Editors W eekZy~—-‘Having recently observed, by chance, N o. 10 of a published’ series of communications by one of our municipal Tax Commissioners on the subject of taxing church property, and as I consider your journal independent, and‘ not under any subsidizing inﬂuence, I would beg leave chieﬂy to note through its columns some of the remarks and proposi- tions of this wiseacre on church assessment or taxation. He begins by quoting Lord Chesterﬁeld, who said: “A tax implies a license granted for the use of that which is taxed to all who would be willing to pay it.” Now, the matter of church taxation, in order to a proper understanding of it, does not require any Chesterﬁeldian authorities, but rests solely on the basis of common sense and reason. Our pilgrim progenitors came to this country to escape from the tyranny of an ecclesiastical government; their descendants,‘ the patriots of the Revolution, fought and bled to rid themselves of it, and the framers of our Constitution in that American Magna Oharta, knowing the consequent mischief and curse of such a mixture, very wisely inhibited all connections and en- tangling alliances between Church and State. This correspondent then goes on to state that the General Government, after imposing certain duties on all articles of luxury, has gone so far as distinctly to recognize the value of religious teaching by exempting from taxation and placing upon the free list, according to oiﬁcial interpretation, Bibles and other books i_mported in good faith for the use of Sunday schools in the United States, on adequate proof; and then asks what sense ‘there would be in exempting books used in such schools from duty and imposing a tax on buildings erected for the fostering of them.” According to such logic, if the existence of one thing be wrong then another wrong should of course be inﬂicted to make it sensible and just. While a Sunday school or a church may be a desirable insti- tution, per se, and productive of great good, it is not the province or duty of ou‘r”G-overnment to foster or aid either in any way, and the act, as the national records will undoubtedly show, was not voluntary on the part of the Government, nor by the expressed wish or will of the people, but “through petitions of those more immediately interested or concerned in the matter. And if our more modern law-makers preferred to stultify themselves by practising this little amenity ‘toward the Sunday schools it does not follow that a still further mix- ing—up of such things should be indulged in by compelling people of all beliefs a11d of no belief to contribute to the sup- port of the many and various religious and sectarian interests throughout the land to the amount of over $200,000,000. He admits that secular properties. to the amount of $2,500,000,000, are exempted by the United States Government. Well, one would’ naturally infer that this amount alone was about sufficient for tax—payers to look upon acquiescently without bearing additional burdens through any outside or extraneous causes. Then he says: “ The enormous amount of securities exempted by the General-Government owe their origin to war, and if Congress should enforce upon the States the tax- ation of buildings for public worship, great wonder would be expressed that, while such enormous sacriﬁce by exemption is offered to the Moloch of war, so small an cblation to the God of peace should be withheld.” The question: “ Who pays the taxes?” has time and -again been propounded and discussed, and the inevitable and correct answer has always been: “The poor man.” Yet, supposing this not to be the case, and the burden fell on all alike, for what purpose is it done by_any citizen but to support the Government under which he lives, and its established institutions? But is a church an established institution of our Government? By no means. How, then, would the whole people grudge an oblation to the God of peace by refusing to pay for the sup- port of a church, while they might be obliged by a natural law of self—protection to offer an enormous-sacriﬁce to the Moloch of war? The fact is, some people out—Christianize Christianity in their pretended religious enthusiasm. Then, too, there is so great a diversity of sects and denominations, how is "a disinterested citizen to know which one among them all is right? And what assurance has he that the sums which he thus pays, directly or indirectly, in the form of a tax, will be appropriated to a good and useful purpose? If there be any thing right about them it must be in some one of them. Christ’s body was not divided into so many parcels. Such divisions and subdivisions are all the result of priestcraft—— the work of doctors of ideas. True and unfeigned religion may be found in an open boat at sea, or in a wilderness, as well as in a grand and costly cathedral. It is not at all depend- ant on church conventionals. Indeed, in this age of corrupt and apostate christendom the real saints, compared with pharisees and hypocrites who make a trade of religion, and “ steal the livery of heaven " to gain an undue advantage of their fellow-beings, are like sparsely-scattered grains of wheat in a. mingled mass of chaff and rubbish. A man now- 'a—days may inwardly worship a golden god, with his heart and affections centered in worldly interests, and if he will say but Lord, Lo—r—d, and subscribe $100,000 to the erection of a costly Christian church, he will be supposed to have secured a through ticket to heaven in a palace-car. But God is not propitiated by any such works, the humblest hall or chapel being as acceptable in His sight as the most grand and gorgeous structure. A . When He said to His people, “Ye are the temple of the living God,” He didn’t have much reference to anything fashioned or ﬁnished with their hands. And when people think to be doing God service by selecting for church cere- monies or service, called worship, the most valuable plots of ground, and erecting thereon large and imposing ediﬁces, gorgeously decorated and furnished to suit the ﬁne apparel in which they are arrayed, they fall far short of the wisdom and comprehension of King Solomon, when, in his dedication of of the Temple, he exclaimed: “ The Heavenof Heavens can- not contain Thee, how much less this house which I have built! ” When in those days of types and symbols of the future, that temple of costly magniﬁcence and grandeur was erected for sacred use, it was not intended by him, who designed it, to be a pattern of houses for the same purpose in subsequent times, but merely as a symbol of the beauty and purity that should characterize those living temples in which he would ever delight to dwell. Christ’s kingdom is not of this world; neither are his people. And a church body or ‘assembly that is truly devout and pious will not lack for anything essential tolits ,existence. But if it be chieﬂy made up _of those who have not sufﬁcient faith, that He whosustains the universe will also not let them fall to the ground, and look to the world and the goverments of the world for protection and aid, they simply show that they are but sounding brass, and have only the form of godliness, without the power thereof. But there are plenty \such. When, therefore, Mr. Andrews denies that exemption of buildings for public worship is a concession, and insists that it is a right inherent in the conditions and uses of the prop- erty, he proposes what in the form of reason is the merest sophistry, and in the way of simple assertion, is nothing more than the sheerest and shallowest nonsense. His ﬁtness. for beings. tax commissioner must, indeed, be surprising. Unscrupulous and persistent beggars for church privileges in the form of donations, exemptions, etc.,whether Protestant or Papal, are among the mostdangerous of frauds. Though possessing millions, their constant cry to the outside world is give; and they seldom. if ever say, hold, enough. It is such fanatical pharisees who are most opposed to taxation; most clamorous for an ecclesiastical government, or whatever may tend to a union of Church and State, and are ever acclaim- ing for the embodiment of the word God in the national Constitution. They make frequent and long prayers in pub- lic. and have always the words God and the Lordpin their months. If they would try to have more of such things in their hearts, without regard to the Constitution, they would, perhaps, ﬁnd it ultimately much better for themselves, and not much, if any worse, for the Constitution, or for the people for whom it was framed.’ _ - I TAX Payne.

Editors W echly :——The Jan. 22d number of your paper, con- taining the conclusion of an article under the caption, “A Critic Criticised,” has been received, but the previous paper containing the beginning of that article I have not seen. I perceive that you have been using me and an unfortunate article printed in my paper a short time since, as “shoulders” over which to Whip a great many people, and for that use no apology on your part is necessary. I am only too glad to have been of some possible good to the world. even in this way, and more for the purpose of giving you still further op- portunity to express your views by making myself a target to be shot at, than with the hope of advancing any new or important ideas, I take occasion to reply, promising, for your readers’ sakes, to be as briefas possible. Now, I admit that if society were so perfected in its parts and organization that the weak as well as the strong could feel sure of protection; if composed of members possessed of sufficient intelligence to comprehend the meaning of justice, and capable of reasoning correctly from causes to eﬁects; in short, a state of society in which it would be possible to live up to the precepts of the Golden Rule——then woman, in com- mon with all of the physically weaker portion of mankind, might freely trust in the wisdom. honorand generosity of man, or her fellows, to secure to her justice; and your the- oriesof freedom might be put in practical operation to great advantage. But such is not the case to~day. "He who holds the purse does hold the power, whatever other “ prize ” woman may have to sell, and to be sought for. Money is one of the prime necessities of our existence. It may be ranked next to air, since air is about the only desirable thing that can be had without it. Of course the possessors of it are, more or less, the autocrats of the world, and especially of the little domestic worlds that ﬁll the world. You assert, and defy contradiction, that “ ﬁnancial independence is impossi- ble for woman ” so long as a competitive system of industry prevails. This is my position exactly. Now, under existing cannot conceive of any independence worthy to be called‘ such, outside of ﬁnancial independence; and as woman can- not have that, therefore, freedom for her is out of the ques- tion, since she cannot be free and at the same time depen- dent. Therefore, he who holds the purse holds the power. For this reason, it seems to me that a system of marriage by contract, which may be dissolved at any time by either party, is one which favors the man who “holds the purse ” very much more than it does the woman who is dependent upon that purse. He satisﬁes his desires, base or otherwise, and is at liberty to seek “fresh ﬁelds and pastures green.” She is faded and dispirited, cursed with physical diseases peculiar to her sex, which are augmented, perhaps. by_i1l— usage, and as a consequence——being a ﬁnancial dependent and the weaker party in making the original marriage contract- there are no “fresh ﬁelds” for her. A beautiful ﬂower, plucked and fondled, and, withering, she is thrown aside for another. In common with a worldful just like her, she must eat and drink and be clothed and housed. She has her free“- dom, however, and if she can ﬁnd “the man to her liking,” she is free to form a matrimonial copartnership with him- providing he is willing. If she possess health, she has free- dom to commit suicide by the slow but sure process of drudgery, devised by the purse—holders for the extermination of both her body and soul. Hood"s “Song of the Shirt” illustrates’ this. She has jumped out of the frying~pan fairly into hell, but she has her freedom. Nor it does not mend the matter that old marriage contracts (“for better and for worse ”) would not be annulled by the new order of things, because the parties to the new contract come there under consideration, with woman at the usual disadvantage. Be it remembered that I am reasoning from the stand- point of the world, its men and its morals as it is, not as it might be or will be. Nor do I overlook the fact that agitation is necessary before puriﬁcation, and that your ideas. which seem to me at present impractical, maybe the necessary forerunner of a better tlme to come.

J ., Jan. 8. - Dear W eel.-ly-—A few lines to let you know I am buckling on the armor to prepare more vigorously for the ﬁght. I am at Dr. Trall’s, attending lectures with my husband and child- ren. Cannot say too much of the system ; of Dr.9Trall him- self as an earnest, honest truth-seeker, and a daring teacher of the same. His Hygienic Home, on the banks of the Dela- ware,‘ twenty miles from Philadelphia, is a beautiful location. Here we are taught that to be true to one’s self is to be true to God; to be a Christian is to be a humanitarian; to take the world as our church and Nature for our creed is the highest ‘religion. Here we are taught. if we would be happy, we must be well, and if we would be well, we must obey the laws of health. Dr. Trall has long been condemned and scornedlb37Th73 _ medical faculty for his radical views on health reform. but his theories and principles will live long after he has passed from earth, because they are founded on the immovable laws of G-—od—Nature. Your readers may be desirous of knowing some of his eccentricities. His many valuable books explain much, ‘and they should be more widely known. He holds disease as a remedial effort, and as such should never be cured. Assist nature’ to its normal condition through the physiological agencies of air, exercise, water, magnetism, diet, etc., and she will restore herself. We here have two meals a day. Meats, salts, as well as all other condiments and spices. are excluded. A strict fruit and vegetable diet is required. We have two——sometimes three——daily lectures, two lyceums, and a dance weekly; gymnastics daily. Dr. Trall fears not to call things by their right names, and place people in their right pews. Six male prostitutes to one female, was the assertion made yesterday. He fully agrees with you that the blood ﬂow in menstruation is disease. The ovum should ripen and (pass without pain, and not only con- clusively proves it by nature (as he does every statement), but we see it demonstrated here by women ‘coming and living strictly hygienic. The flow entirely ceases, and they improve in health. Just now the doctor is giving us some extra lectures, by request. His views on theology—-rich, deep and abiding. God bless Dr. Trail, with you, dear Victoria, and many more of our modern Savlours, till they see the fruits of their labor Let me, too, offer aword of cheer to Mattie Strickland. GO on brave girl; be true to self and you can but be true to God. I wept over your sorrow, but rejoiced over your noble test of womanhood. Would there were more possessing your courage.

Editor Woodhull and Olaﬂ'in’s Weekly: , I think Mrs. Woodhul1’s lectures are practically true, and go to the bottom of the evils of society. The church, as at present constituted, is lopping off the branches of the great tree of evil, while Mrs. Woodhull is going down to the foundation, and digging up the tap roots. I can see no reason why society has not as good a. right to prevent criminals,lpaupers and lunatics from propagating as society has to support and take charge of them after they are propagated. ' In my view no criminal, diseased person, lunatic, idiot, or pauper ought to be permitted to propagate their species. The course which society pursues in this respect is a disgrace to the race, and an outrage upon the.Divine Being. If the true history of all the idiots and deformed children could be correctly ascertained, it would be found that one or both ofthe parents was directly responsible for these difﬁul- culties. Many children are made idiotic and permanently deformed by the eﬂ"ort,s of the mother to destroy them in em- bryo. The fearful question of foeticide is taking hold of the minds of the people, and it will have to be met squarely be- fore long. , ‘We want the facts laid bare in these cases, so that the pub- lic can see who is responsible. I It should be-considered a reproach to a woman to have a deformed child. A healthy sentiment of this description would have a tendency to stem the tide of degradation which is nowcarrying the race toward the quicksands of total ex- tinctioii. The people wantichristianity made practical. Theology is alfltheoretical. Christ healed, the bodily inﬁrmities of all whose sins He forgave. The most important part of the mission of the Apostles was to heal the sick. A Salvation of the body was what Christ principally taught. All His teachings go to show that He came that we might have life, and that whosoever believed in Him should not perish. I believe in Christ as a physical Saviour. “ Ithink the time is not far distant when the great mass of the world will believe in this idea of salvation. ' — ' ' I can only bid you God speedin the work you‘are doing. Yours truly, E. P. MILLER. AN INQUISITOR AT NEW HAVEN. 7. .Mrs. Emma Hardinge Britten, who is lecturing in this city before the Free Lecture Association, took occasion. in reply to a question, to pay her complimentsto Mrs. Woodhull and to that large and increasingclass Of thinkers who agree with her on the social question. She said ‘_‘ it was the dis- grace of the age that speakers should be permitted to travel through the country and teach such abominable doctrines”- meaning, of course, the doctrines of Mrs. Woodhull-at which a crowd in the back part of the hall, which had several times interrupted the meeting, stamped and applauded, the Spirit- ualists and Liberalists present preserving an ominous silence. ‘We cannot imagine a better co-adjutor of Comstock, the Y. M. C. A., and the hosts of bigotry, than Mrs‘. Britten. She denounced atheists, she sneered at “reason,” she quoted judging from her remarks, the social reformers would be arrested, and all free speech on the most momentous ques- tions of the hour stifled. What a liberal is this Mrs. Britten who can talk transcendental vagaries for two hours without hardly taking breath,’ and who would prevent, by force, a noble and glorious woman from declaring the grandest truths that were ever uttered by human lips! - I Be assured, Mrs. Britten, and all would-be liberal popes and spiritualistic inquisitors, that you will not succeed. Spiritualism will have no pontiifs, either in pantaloons or petticoats, to dictate beliefs and crush out freedom of con- science and speech. BRUNO. A PETITION FOR GREENBACKS.

That the National Bank currency is a costly currency to the people, inasmuch as it ensures the banks two interests; first, on their bonds, and second, on their currency which they receive for their bonds while deposited with the Gov- ernment; 5. That the currency best adapted to the interests of in- dustry, is that issued by the Government, which should be made receivable for all dues. — We therefore respectfully ask that your honorable bodies will pass a law providing for the retirement of the National Bank currency, and for the issue of United States Treasury Notes to take its place,:and for this we will ever pray. A 4 f 'wr'—* MRS. WOODHULL IN THE FIELD. COMMENTS OF THE PRESS. (From the Tribune, J ohnstown, Pa. J an 22, 18.76.) The lecture delivered by Mrs. Woodhull in the Opera House last night was thoroughly. enjoyed by the ladies and gentlemen present. She is a rapid, yet clear and distinct talker,'and possesses a richly—modulated voice, which is ex- ceedingly pleasing to the listener. There were many home truths spoken last evening by this lady in such an impres- sive manner as to touch the hearts of her audience, and the close attention with _which her discourse of an hour and a- quarter was received showed that it was highly appreciated by all present. . (From the Democrai, Johnston, Pa. Jan 22, I878.) <VICTORIA C. WOODHULL delivered her lecture on the “True and False, Socially,” in the Opera House on Friday evening last. There was not a great crowd out to hear her, but what it lacked in numbers it made up in li‘igh—tOned, appreciative listeners. Mrs. Woodhull, in personal appear— ance, is far handsomer than any other lady we have ever heard onlthe rostrum—gracefu1 and feminine in all her move- voice and gestures. but everything denotes the sweet—voiced, cultivated lady. She spoke, about one hour and a quarter, and the very close attention given her by the audience was an evidence that she was interesting and entertaining. The lec- ture surpassed the expectations of the public and was a rare treat, being one of the most elegantly delivered lectures ever heard in our town." (From the Globe-Democrat, St. Louis, [Mo.] Feb. 21876.) THE OVATION LAsT EVENING AT ARMORY HALL. If among the large audience who were present at Armory Hall last evening to hear Victoria C. Woodhull lecture, any went with the expectation of hearing anything advanced by that lady that was either immodest or licentious. they must have left the hall disappointed in that respect, but much bet- Jesus like a first-class orthodox ranter.

Mrs. Woodhull appeared upon the platform attired in a very plain, darlc-colored dress, and spoke with great animation for about two hours. Her utterance is very rapid, but dis- tinct: her language forcible, and her gestures appropriate and effective. Everything she does. both, in utterance and action, seems to be spontaneous. She never hesitates for a word, and her strong, vigorous thoughts are clothed in the most appropriate language. Unlike most ﬂuent speakers she deals but little in imagery, and her efforts have no at: tempt at rhetorical embellishment. and yet she is an orator of great ability. In the treatment of her subject, she goes straight to the point under consideration for the time, and says what she has to say, in vigorous Saxon, and then passes On. Her strength as a‘ speaker ~ is in her earnestness. Her audience at once become en rapport with her, for they feel that they have before them awoman who is in “dead earnest,” and that the wOrds,which are falling from her lips are not the mere coinage of a mental process but they are thoughts coming straight from her heart, earn: estly uttered. because earnestly felt. -The lecture was listened to by the large audience, a large proportion of whom wcreladies, with rapt attention, and the speaker was frquentiy interrupted by loud applause. While Mrs. Woodhull. in dealing with a. subject which jg generally ignored in_ the pulpit and on the platform, calls a spade a spade, there was nothing that fell from her lips which could justly shock the sensibilities of the most reﬁned . On the contrary, there was around it an elevated, moral and even religious tone. The subject is one that is demanding the attention of all who are interested in social ethics, and who is there that is not interested in a matter that so vitally — affects the general welfare of humanity?

NEW YORK, SATURDAY, FEB. 19, 1876. I: ,_._.. WE are prepared to furnish a few hundred complete sets ’ of the ﬁrst series of Bible Articles consisting of ﬁfteen num- bers of the VVEEKLY, for one dollar, postage paid. Our friends should lose no opportunity to bring these articles to the attention of those whom they can interest. A careful study of all of them is necessary to a complete understand-_ ing of the great and all-important truth that is yet to be re- vealed; which must be carefully and judiciously brought be- fore the world, as the sun comes upon it, bringing ﬁrst the break-of—day, next its dawn, and afterward its full meridian splendor.

It also represents still another and more important truth which has not yet been introduced, but which, deﬁned in.a few Words is, God in man reconciling the world unto Himself.

The universe exists, and is in constant motion; andthe motion produces as constant change. It is impossible that there should be motion of any kind in any part of anything that goes to make up the universe, without the effects of that motion being communicated to every other thing. Every movement in the atmosphere by what we call “ the winc ” is proof positive that every other portion of the atmosphere is moved to restore or keep the equilibrium ; in fact “the wind” is the means by which the equilibrium is maintained. Wlrenever there is a contraction of the volume of the atmosphere in any part of the world, caused by cold, the warmer pprtions vfromi all surrounding quarters «rush in to reestablish the balance; or when any part of it becomes expanded by heat, it rushes outward in all direc- tions, the violence qr rapidity of the movement, in either case, being in proportion to the suddenness and degree of the change in the temperature. ~ There is no division any- where in the atmosphere. It is all one; but there are all varieties of movements going on within it all the while. And what is true of the atmosphere is also true of the earth. There arerno absolute divisions in the matter of which the body of the earth is composed. As with the atmosphere so it is with the earth; as its different conditions in various places, depend upon the different motions that are set up within itself as a whole, do the various conditions of the earth depend upon the motions that have been made in the original matter as a whole; and there are no exceptions to this rule, even up to and including man. From the time that the ﬁrst combination of two different elements (accord- ing to the elemental theory); or from the time that two atoms combined together (according to the atomic theory) up to the highest, most perfect, and most complex organic structure that there is existing, there is one continued line of change caused by motion in the matter that has been thus evolved. And it must‘ be remembered that each new combination which has been effected, has been a result of those which have gone before it. Nothing, at any time, has ever been interpolated into creation that had no previous cause. Thus creation is one continuous line of change on change, of growth on growth, from the beginning till now, and ever will be. The evolution of the material universe, it should be re- membered also, has not carried all the matter contained within it forward with equal rapidity. The primeval rocks from which the sands and soils have been decomposed, still comprise a very large portion of the solid body of the earth. There was a time, however, when there was nothing higher in the scale of organized matter than the rocks. These are, as it were, the foundation upon which creation is built; and upon which layer upon layer, story upon story, has been erected. It is even questionable whether the highest addi- tion that now exists could stand, should the foundation rocks by some processbe removed. May it not be possible, nay, is it not certain, that the foundations of creation are as necessary to the “upper works” as is the foundation of a building to its continuance as a structure. And yet the vegetable world is a higher order of creation than the rocks; and the reptile and fowl still higher orders than the veget- able; and the animal a further-on development still. The human animal, man, standing on the apex of creation, looks backward down the ascent that has been made and sees himself the culmination of all this mighty work carried on through all these mighty rounds of ages. Witli man, however, the old order of growth culminated. Hitherto the progress had been in complexity of organic form. Each new order of creation possessed some new function or organ, or some new functional or organic capacity. All of these new additions to the complexity of organic structure may be clearly traced, and the line of evolution formulated, from the ﬁrst structural cell upward and forward until it ends in the delicately formed" and beautifully arranged and adapted hands and feet and ﬁngers and toes of the human body. But all the matter of which the universe is com- posed has not been raised into human bodies. There are still existing, with some possible exceptions, all the links that comprise the chain of development reaching from mat- ter “without form and void” to man. In other words, there is still a place for everything, and may it not be also added that everything is in its place, while the rounds of growth continue to make their mighty circuits, every year adding th the mass of matter that has become imbued with human life, by having been passed through the human body. Standing on the apex of creation, all below and around man is becoming permeated with a new power by reason of his existence; and nature is constantly receiving her recom- pense for having in her economy developed him. Man produces a modifying, an elevating effect upon everything which comes within the circle of his inﬂuence. The very air he breathes becomes possessed of a new power because it has been in his body. All this we have frequently men- tioned before, but we wish distinctly to call attention to it here and now, because it furnishes a view of evolution that few have ever given its proper weight in the divine econ- omy. It is not generally recognized that the whole -mass of matter of which the earth is composed, and all of creation below man into which matter enters, is gradually becoming humanized. Not only is man discharging himself into the amosphere by each exhaling breath, but in the insensible perspiration, and in all his bodily secretions and cxcretions there goes a principle to enrich and lift the world to higher possibilities. Of course, this action is not to be perceived in the individual man to any considerable extent, but there is, nevertheless, a constant ﬂux and reﬂux between organic and inorganic matter by which the latter is charged with the highest powers of the former. Indeed this is the method by which God is reconciling the world unto Him- self; that is, is making all matter capable, gradually, of ministering to the highest needs of man, with and in Whom He is eventually to dwell. ' We have been thus explicit in pointing out the methods by which matter is being ﬁtted to be subservient to the highest needs that it is to ﬁll in the divine economy of the future, so that we may teach a lesson by analogy further on that might not be recognized unless it had an illustration by which it could be enforced. The same law of evolution of relation and economy, prevails in all departments of na-’ ture. This law of reciprocal action and reaction is not con- ﬁned to the material universe. It enters into the new order of growth that was set up in man, when he appeared, It is plainly to be seen that nothing in the material universe can stand alone. All the surroundings, all the antecedents and consequents, are necessary to each distinct creation and to all the individualities of each, as well. All former crea- tions had to exist before the later could exist; and the 1ater are dependent upon the former to maintain their existence. So there runs a line of interdependence through the whole circuit of creation. No part can say to any o.the1-, *4 I have no need of thee,” for all are parts of a united, common whole, which wouldlnot be a whole if any part were miss- ing or even were misplaced. Before leaving this part of the subject, it should be noted that so long as anything remains in the economy of nature, it remains to do a needed work, and if it disappear, it is because that work is done. The time, no doubt, will come, when it will be impossible to find the material out of which to construct a tiger with his ferocious disposition. For the character of the tiger depends upon the organism through which its life ﬁnds its expression. N 0 other form of animal can be made to imitate the tiger; and what is true of this variety is true of every other. Each forms a connecting link in evolution which, when it shall lift what is behind it, to its level, or to its place, and connect it with that which is before it, it will drop out and leave the new connec- tion to do its further work. The species of animals, rep- tiles, etc., that have become extinct, are illustrations of what we mean. They became extinct because there was no further use for them to serve in the economy of nature; and being none they disappeared. The same as We lay aside a thing that has served its purpose, so has God laid aside the things which He has made which have served His, purpose; and so will He continue to do, until the world shall be reponciled unto Him. We can now rise into the domain of man ; into the new order of development that was set up by his advent on the earth. It may be diﬂicult to draw the line in creation and say, here the animal ceases and there the man begins. Originally man was nothing that he is now, save in form, and even that has changed materially in someimportant parts. The shape of the -heads of the people of enlightened nations is widely diﬁ'erent-from that of original tribes. But here, even, the original is found to reach down to the pres- ent in exceptional cases even among the most advanced classes. Generally speaking, however, the shape of the heads of the people generally has changed as the people have advanced intellectually and spiritually. There can be no doubt that the evenly balanced head; the head with the animal, social, intellectual and spiritual faculties evenly de- veloped, is the most perfect bead; is the better head to have than one in which either of these departments is below the average of the others. ~ The development, therefore, in man has been in brain power; in intellectual and spiritual direc- tions, this growth causing a change in the conformation of the head, to meet the needs of the enlarged organs that it contains. Now it will be observed that those people wlxosh-E52753 are nearest perfectly developed, whose heads are rounded out and full instead of sharp and angular, have the most evenly balanced characters. And what is true speciﬁcally of the head, is true in a more general sense of the body as a whole —~the bodies that approach nearest to perfection of outline and of general form, providing other things are equal, con- tain the nearest approach to perfect characters. No one can conceive of Christ as any more deformed or imperfect in His body thanln mind and spirit. Therefore it seems that l ‘ \ “'» 4, “'--~G 3-qb"". =- ~Feb. 19,1876. A it must be that the degree of perfection or imperfection that is indicated by the acts of individuals, is determined by the perfection or imperfection of their forms, through which they are made manifest. It is impossible for some to steal, while others have no power to refrain from stealing. It is impossible for many to be driven to a condition in which they could take the life of another, while there are a few among the whole who place no value at all on human life. But the many have no right to complain of the few, further than to provide protection for themselves against the defects in their organizations which make them dangerous. The person who cannot keep from stealing is more to be pitied than is he from whom he steals ; and certainly thesame, in a’ still higher degree, is true of him who by reason of the sins of his parents is made liable at any time to be provoked to murder, than is he who falls beneath his fury. All these evidences of imperfection in human character—all these evidences that the blood—thirstiness of the tiger is not yet burned out of matter, or that the secretiveness of the fox will manifest itself in man when the fox is made the basis of his character—go to show how careful all should be who assume the responsibility of adding to the population of the world. It is not true, however, that parents are wholly responsible for the defects of character with which children are en- dowed. Save as between the two they are only indirectly responsible. No person living can stand up amid the people and say I am alone responsible for what I do, and say it truely. No one can be so completely divorced from things around, assto make this possible. In the ﬁrst place every one is a natural result of the conditions in which he or she was pro- duced, and in the second place this aggregate of results is open to the inﬂuence of everything by which it is surrounded, and is made to act in given directions, in proportion as these inﬂuences are strong or weak in.those directions. N 0 one is his own master or her own mistress, but, on the con- trary, persons are the slaves of the inﬂuences in which they live, conjoined with their inherited tendencies. In all com’- munities there will be individuals both above and below the average of goodness of the larger majority, but the degree of goodness which the general average of the whole of any community represents, depends not upon any individual of the community, but upon the community as a whole, and the general progress which any community makes does not depend absolutely upon any of the individuals who may seem to do most to cause it toevolve in goodness, but upon the commonlaw of evolution, working upon general princi- ples which lie behind all men and all communities, ofwhich all men and communities are the agents only. As in the abso- lute sense there can be no such thing as personal responsi- bility, so in the same sense there can be no such thing as personal merit. True, man -may perform a part in some grand cause that may prevail, but, after all, it is because he was prepared to do so, and because the work was ready to be done. He neither makes himself, nor yet the material with which the work is to be performed. But there is a modifying power in man that seems to go beyond the limitsof adherance to evolutionary law, and to act independently of it, and this fact has led men to adopt the idea of personal responsibility. Everybody is conscious of a power within that says to the inclination: “ This is wrong. See thou do it not,” or, “ This is right. See thou do it.” But in recognizing this power a collateral fact is overlooked, and this is, that the degree of the restraint from ,,doing the wrong, or constraint to do the right, depends wholly upon the conditions of which we have been speaking, and vet undoubtedly the progress that man has made in the line of evolution, of which he is the speciahreprescntative, has been so made by virtue of this thing that stands behind the inclinations and tendencies of his animal economy as monitor and umpire—-as the judge ; and this is the contest between the devil and God——the good and evil-—the carnal and the spiritual-—in man. ‘He is the ﬁeld in which the con- test wages; in which it has waged since this the voice of God began to speak in man. There are no evidences that this still small voice ﬁnds utterance in any form below the form of man. The beast pursues the bent of his own nature, and he is contented or uneasy as this bent ﬁnds satisfaction or is deprived of it. No one considers it a crime for a tiger to devour a man. It is his nature thus to-do, and God hath made him so. How much more a crime is it in the man who is a human tiger-—who has no voice of God within him to re- » strain him from the crime? But it must not be forgotten that the standards of right and wrong, change to keep pace with the development of this power over human action. “That is right and proper in one age of the world comes to be wrong and improper in a succeeding age. Neither should it be forgotten that, while there is seemingly a common standard of right and wrong, which ﬁnds expression in the laws and customsof a people at any given time, that this is only seeming, for behind this external standard every individual has one of his own by which he directs his life. Now, here is the disputed ground between those who contend for the written law, and. those who contend for the-. higher law. V The higher law to anyone is the law within him which tells him that this is right and that is wrong; let the written law be what it may, whether really a higher standard or a lower than the one existing in the indi- vidual. It is he who acts always nearest to the dictates of the lawwithin him, whether it be in accord with the law without or not, who obeys the law of God. For he who acts ‘fully up to the law he ﬁnds within him, lives the life that is natural to his degree of -evolution. “ Let every one be fully persuaded inhis own mind,” said the profound St. Paul, ‘ And if anyone being fully persuaded in his own mind that a certain thing is right for him to do, no matter if the whole world be against him and call it wrong, it is right for him. Then here we ﬁnd the rule that should govern life; here we ﬁnd the rule that would govern life if all arbitrary and external inﬂuences were removed. If a man do what a law or custom requires which is in opposition to this judge within, he will be damned; he is condemned; and p it is this inexorable judge‘——this God within—that passes sentence. ' In presenting this we must not'be understood to say that any given act which may be done with the approvalof this judge, must be the highest. N ot by any means. There is a highest standard and a lowest, and there are standards all the way between the two, and those who live by the highest are the nearest to perfection. But this does not alter the former proposition. Degrees of goodness are a necessary accompaniment of the law of growth. All people do not grow alike, and, consequently, all cannot think and act: alike, and think and act rightly. Everything is true, or should be, to the standard which its actual development represents, and there are as many different standards as there are degrees of growth between the starting point and the highest yet attained. So it comes about that “what one thinketh so he is,” and so also that what one is “ fully per- suaded in his own mind” is the best thing for him to do; is the best life for him to lead, really is the best for his pres- ent condition, and without doubt, most prcmotive of fur- ther-on development, For, if one attempt to live a life that some one wants him, to, which is above his natural standard, such an one is liable, aye, is almost certain to back—slide, because the seeds of the old life still remain in him, and will spring up and grow as soon as the pressure that carried him upward is removed. Whe1'eas,. had he been ‘left to exhaust the conditions of.the lower, and to be guided by the judge within, instead of one without, he would have developed regularly instead of spasmodically, to fall again. When applying this rule of life to social things, it must be held that whatever one is fully persuaded in his or her own mind is best; is the most in accord with nature; is the highest, that life is the best for him or her, and if led, will not only contribute most to present happiness, but also to the most rapid growth. For all growth must be of the in- dividual. N 0 one can grow for another, save in this way, if it be an exception: every one has an inﬂuence on all by whom surrounded, and those who really, in the absolute sense, oecupy the most advanced positions in real goodness," purity and morals, both by word and deed, disseminate their goodness, purity and morality everywhere, and by so doing enrich the soil beneath; by so doing sow the seed of their own standard in lower grounds; inoculate their good- ness in the life of those who are fully justiﬁed’ in their own lives upon a lower plane, and thus, unconsciously to them, lift them higher. What is needed now is freedom for these forces to act; emancipation for the people so that they can thus act. Truth never ‘need ‘fear error if left free to combat it; nor need the higher ever fear that the lower will triumph, if each be free to grapple with the other. Evolution and not retrogression is the law of nature; and when nature is left free to act her part, the movement will be always up and never down. People might as well legislate that the weeds shall not grow in the garden as to do the same about the weeds in the higher garden of the human body. The true way is to cultivate the good seed, not by compulsion, but by attraction; by love, which is another name for attraction. In this way the higher will always draw the lower to it by the natural ‘power of which it is possessed; by virtue of its being the higher, while every form of force serves only to break this magic inﬂuence. Let every one be “fully persuaded in his own mind” how he should, live, and then adhere to it, in spite of all external inﬂuence; and let this cover the whole range of life. Who- ever does this not only will have the approval of his judge, which is the God within, but will make the most rapid general progress, because he who lives such a life as this ensures; is always ready to learn and adopt the better way; is never bound by any external thing to any idol; and, ﬁnally, because such a one is honest; is not a hypocrite, and has no need to/seem to be other than he is. 44- A ﬁwvw WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH LABOR? , Probably at no time since the establishment of this country was there so much unemployed labor as there is now. One person in every eight in all the large cities with nothing to do, and consequently with nothing to eat; and the same is true, to a greater or less degree, of all the country. It is a disgrace to civilization, that, in a country which can be made to yield even treble the crops of breadstuifs that it does there should be a million people suffering for the want of a. loaf, each, of bread a day. That the resources of the country are ample to feed ten times its own population, and at the same time that there are immense numbers of men, and es- specially women and children suffering for bread, discloses the fact, as it was never before disclosed, that there is -some- thing wrong somewhere. Of course, there is a great deal of talk among the “ wise,” and especially do the ﬁnance tink- erers talk earnestly of the evil whichithis or that amend- ment to our currency, will effect. But in spite of all this frfotli, there are causes behind it all out of which it rises, woonnunr. & GLAFL-IN’S WEEKLY. , is which are scarcely recognized by these doctors of ﬁnance. It is true that a thousand things which these tinkers may do, may aggravate or mitigate the symptoms of the disease, but they are tinkers merely Logically, the question of equity in industry, and of a. proper medium for eﬁecting its exchanges, have no relation to each other. If a man, or a body of men, set down anywhere in this country, is permitted to make free use of that by which they may ﬁnd himself surrounded, he will not only be able to provide himself with food and raiment, but his family also. The reason then that thousands cannot do this, is be- cause there are some kind of improper restrictions exercised somewhere, that destroy the natural right possessed by every man. If it be true, that a man by exercising his natural right to lab or, can provide himself and family with enough to meet their needs, then a body of men can do the same; and if abody, then the whole, if they are properly organized . These are self-evident propositions. It follows then since many men cannot do this under present conditions, that the fault lies with the system of organization under which the industries are conducted. And no tinkering with the ﬁnances, nor any strikes for wages, or. for hours of labor,- can ever settle this. Alleviation in securing better wages or better hours, may assuage‘ the symptoms, and put oil the day of the ﬁnal overthrow, as all compromises with wrong serve to do, and to retain the real oppressors longer in their power, but they can never remove or touch the real causes of the misery that need to be abated. It seems to us that there is one cause of present stagnation that hasbeen quite overlooked. Take the world as a whole, there are not so many more people in it than there were a a hundred years ago, as may at ﬁrst be supposed. Nor do these same people consume so muchsmore than they did then as‘ might be supposed. They require just about the same quantities of food that they did formerly; and wear about the same amount of clothes. But now look upon the other side, and see how large the increase in production has been, both in food and manufactured goods. The same number of laborers working the same number of hours now, by the aid of labor-saving inventions, produce sometimes ‘a hundred fold more than they formerly could have done without the aid of machinery. Whatever may have been the increase in consumption, the increase in production has been ten times as large, at least. All of this increase over consumption, has been accumulating in the markets of the world, until large amounts of capital_ are swallowed up in them, and as as the capital is all invested in these surplus stocks. This fact may be seen‘ probably more clearly, if the illus- trations be made of agricultural products. If the agricultu- ral industries of the world produce yearly double what is re- quired“ to feed all her people, it is clear that such overt pro- duction could go on only until the merchants should ﬁnd themselves with all their capital invested in produce, , for which there were no consumers. Then they would cease to purchase of the producer, and he would be left with his crops on his hands. Much the same condition of things as this would be, exists regarding manufactured goods. In fact, the condition is largely true regarding the direct products of the soil. With the increased facilities of production, there should have been a proportionate decrease of the -hours of labor, but no reduction in the wages of labor. ‘The a family than that of a hundred years «agolwlould produce, and yet a day’s labor produces sometimes a hundred times more than it did at that time. From year to year, merely, this increased production is not felt; and it has not been largely feltttill now, because the increased‘ methods of commercial intercommunication with various parts of the world, have distributed this over-production among the nations which have not been blessed by increased facilities for production. Butnow these new sources of demand have all been opened up, and their present requirements ﬁlled. Their marketsare overloaded, and the reaction of all this, to be severely felt, for almost the ﬁrst time. The conse- quence is that the merchants have got all theproducts of the labor of years on their hands, while the laborer, now idle, has nothing with which to purchase. Now the solution of this whole problem is patent on its face. If these people who have succeeded in smug- gling the products of labor into"'their hands, were the agents merely of the producers, and'not the owner of their products, then labor when unemployed by reason of prdduction over consumption could be maintained during such reactionary periods, whereas now they must be subsisted if they are permitted to subsist at all, by the charitable bestowment upon them of the very things which their labor orig'inal‘ly produced. For such injustice as this there can be found of the vexed question of ﬁnance, wages, or hoursof labor. The cause lies deeper than they can reach. What the world needs to secure is the greatest good and greatest number merely, '_but for all. e ‘The policy of self-aggrandisement has been pursued until one-half the worldis starvingand naked, while the other half has got an immense accumulation of goods upon its hands with which it does _not know what to do; or, in its"own»language, “We cannot purchase any further because there is no market for what we have.” iThisltells the whole story, the real seat of the disease they can never reach, because ‘ a consequence the manufacturers cannot goon producing, price of a day’s labor willnot produce any more support for I upon the producing centers of civilization, is now beginning‘ no remedy in any solution that may be made or attempted , the greatest degree of happiness and comfort, notifor the ~ 6 p Z‘ , woonnunna cr.A1vL1N*sswEEKLv. G N ow, what is wanted in place of the present system of in- dustries is a system which will leave the producers in pos- session of their products, so that in any event of failure to produce, or from temporary reaction caused by over-produc- ii tion, they may not be left to subsist from charities, in which system all the classes who are now the rulers of the producer, inasmuch as it is they who say we will or we will not pur- chase your products, will become their servants or agents i to effect the exchanges between the several branches of industry. In such a system there would be no Stewarts, with millions of the products of labor stored in their immense warehouses, which no laborer could obtain without payinga price. We then should have Stewarts to oversee the accumu- lated products of labor, and, in times like these, to deal them out to those who otherwise would suffer. In place of the spirit of selﬁsh greed, we need that of the “ Good- Samaritan,” by Whom Jesus attempted to teach his pro- fessed followers a lesson that they will not learn. Ln 4 V 17* ARE THEIR EYES OPENED? The Y. M. C. A. have heretofore never had any diﬁiculty in getting Congress to pass any bill that they have asked for, to assist them in the so-called “ suppression of vice and crime.” All they have had to do was to send their suppliant agent to Washington with a box of the latest seizures of obscene pictures or books, and a prepared bill, and the job was done. Probably there were not a dozen Congressmen who would ever hear such a bill, sought to be passed read. They simply didn’t care anything, about it. They knew that a. powerful Christian Association asked that it be done, and they have done it without a question. They did not perceive in the artfully drawn law how they were being entrapped into trampling upon the Constitution ; or rather into‘ passing a law, that, while it did not in speciﬁc language, infringe upon the Constitutional rights of the freedom of the press, was nevertheless intended by its pro- moters to be interpreted so to do, and to be used for that purpose. When this same suppliant agent had us arrested, there was no language in the law, which he knew as well as any- body‘ else, that’ could be construed by any twisting into a justification of proceeding against us, even had the paper of which he complained been obscene in law, which it . was not. But he, or those behind him, relied upon the prejudices of the people and the public , opinion, which they knew would support the Great Preacher and the “Revered Citizen,” to justify his high—handed assumption of dictatorship to the press in our case. But inthis he failed, and when he saw that he was defeated, his impotent rage knew no bounds. Everywhere he went he openly avowed that he would never rest until he had procured a law by which he could send us_ to the peniten- tiary. Even before the culmination of his brigandish attempt upon us, he went before Congress and had interpolated into _ the law the word “ paper ” among the things that might be proceeded against for passing through the mails. Congress did not see that, by this word “ paper,” _its artful drafters really meant newspaper. A paper is a too general term to be used in statutory law to designate a newspaper, because a ‘paper may be any other thing in paper form just as well as a newspaper. But the trap was set to make_Congress violate the Constitution, and, as far as the intention of the Y. M, C. A. was concerned, they did pass a law abridging . the freedom of the press, which the Constitution prohibits. Not only did he procure this done, but he got the penalty increased from one year imprisonment to ten, specially to suit our case, and to appease his wounded vanity for being defeated in his schemes to dispose of us at first. , But this unconscienceless agentof the Y. M. ‘C. A. ﬁnding that this little word “paper” would not _carry himself safely through the crusade against newspapers that do not advocate the line xofimorals prescribed by the Association which he serves, has found it necessary to go before Con- gress again to widen the scope and the application of this infamous law by which he seeks to obtain control of the press and the power to suppress any paper that may fall under the bane of the Y. M. C. A. This time he makes a bold bid for the whole word, and asks that Congress insert the word “newspaper” so that there may be no doubt about his right, so far. as Congress can make it a right, to prosecute newspapers._ One of the members of the Com- mittee informed us while in Washington, that “if Lant’s Sun had been a regularly issued newspaper he could not have been convicted-;_but that in law, his issue was a paper, without being a. newspapeﬁ “N0 newspaper,” said the Congressman, “can be attacked under this law; nor can Congress pass, 3 law of such import, because it is prohibited V by the Constitution.” When the late attempt was made to rush-a new law through Congress, its members at once saw the cat concealed in the meal, and some of the prominent ezepresentatives proceeded to denounce the bill" in proper germs as a dangerous innovation;upon the rights of the peo- ple, and the bill was recommitted for revisal. But behind the law, so far as it is intended by its promo- ters to apply to newspapers, it confers a power upon this agent of the .Y. A., now a U. S. P. O. oﬁicial, to overhaul the mails and to break open letters that he may deem Suspicious-.——a.p0WeI' that even the Premier of England dare not exercise, and for exercising which, in the case of an Italian rﬁfugee in England, one was forced to resign his V Mﬁce, Pg,1-liament-would not permit even the British Prime , Mmnisp-er 1,9 1;;-Wk thpispal. pf a letter belonging to a refugee, was who had sought shelter in England, but here in the United tates, not only does the agent of a body of sectarian Chris- tians assume to do what a’ British Premier dare not, but Congress passes a law legalizing the infamous outrage. In England the mails are sacred. In the United States they may be tampered with by a mere scenter after obscenity. How long will the people of this country -submit to such outrages? How long will they endure the insults of a gov- ernment whichexalts such men as this one into being a censor of the mails and the press? Let the government beware how far it trenches upon the endurance of this long- suffering people, lest they rise and in a day resume the rights of which, piece by piece, they have been defrauded. Remember, people of the United States, that this govern- ment, your Congress, your servants, have passed a law which stands upon your statute books a blotch of infamy, by which this man, who is beneath the contempt of an American citizen, infers that he has the right to go into any post office and open your letters; your daughters’ letters; your wives’ letters; your business letters, to see if, per- chance, you haven’t written something that, in his judg- ment, may corrupt the morals of the person whom you have addressed. - Moreover, this agent of obscenity does not dare to attack any of the greatnewspapers. He only moves against such as he imagines he can rely upon the prejudices of the public to sustain him in. It was this only that convicted Lant.:Had it been Mr. Dana, of the New York Sun, instead of Mr. Lant, of the Toledo Sun, that had published the objection- able matter, he would never have been proceeded against in the first place, and could never have been convicted in the second place. No jury could have been found who would have brought in a verdict of guilty upon the evidence that convicted Lant. It was because Lant was not a Dana, or a Bennett, or a Jones, that he .was prosecuted to convic- tion by the Y. M. C. A. Wlien George Francis Train was in the Tombs, day after day the New York Sun published column after column, equally ‘as objectionable to good taste and public morals, as was this from the same source for which Lant is now in the penitentiary. This fact of itself ought to move Congress to immediately repeal the law under which such outrages can be committed. No law should be permitted to stand upon the statute books of this great nation, which, in any case, can be used to op- press the weak and the poor, but from which the inﬂuential and the rich are protected by virtue of their position in society, and their wealth. No law should be allowed to stand a moment,,that is open to being made the vehicle of any man’s, or any association’s, sectarian or social bigotry and intolerance, to be vented , upon his victims by working upon the prejudices of an ignorant jury, who have no competent idea of purity or vulgarity in literature. A law that cannot be enforced against the great and rich as well as against the small and poor,» should never beenacted, and if {enacted and found to work in this way, should at once be repealed. Law should be for the protection of the people, not for the oppression of the weak, or the vehicle of religious or social persecution; and as this is the use to which the Y. M. C. A. reduce the Congressional Act to prevent the circulation in the mails of obscene literature, it ought to be repealed, at least so much of it as may be inter- preted to prohibit the sending of newspapers, books and pamphlets in the mails, and upon which prosecutions for sending them may be instituted. Newspapers should be left free to discuss all questions relating to the welfare of the race; even the sexual question in its minutest particu- lars; and books and pamphlets, containing scientiﬁc or con- troversial investigations jnto the mysteries ‘and the un- known in sex, ought to pass freely through the mails. A m if LIFE‘-SIZE LITHOGRAPH. We have just received the ﬁrst edition of life—size litho- graphs of Victoria C. Woodhull, from the lithographic establishment of Armstrong & Co., of Boston, Mass. They are splendid pictures, both as a work of art and as like- nesses. They are "printed on heavy paper 20 x24 inches, and specially adapted for framing. They will be sent post- paid, securely wrapped to guard against damage, to any address for 50 cents. The common price of lithographs of this size is $2; but we have arranged with the publisher to furnish them in large quantities at such rates that they can be resold at the price named without loss to us. They are thus put within the means and reach of everybody who desires to have a splendid life—size portrait of the Editor-in- Chief of the WEEKLY, who has devoted her life wholly to the inauguration of a new dispensation on earth, in which misery, vice and crime shall have no place. In reply to many letters asking for " dealer’s terms ” we would say that the lithographs maybe ordered by express by the half dozen, dozen, or more at 40 cents, the usual price, less the postage. In explanation of the delay that has occurred in sending lithographs we would say that the second edition has been delayed, but will be received within a day or two, when. all orders will be ﬁlled.—[MANAGING EDITOR]. __iQ 4 V 1* THE GARDEN OF EDEN .

READY FOR THE CONFLICT. Bowen talks like a man reluctantlyenlisted, but-, once in, resolved upon a square fight. VVe are rejoiced to secure for the right a soldier of such grit. He brings himself up with millions of ammunition, and will, no doubt, do more to shake up the sea—sick followers of Plym0utl1’s Jonah than all that have preceded him. There is manliness in Bowen’s words, some heart and brains. Good men ;will appreciate his straight forward statement. We are tired of petty-fogging; it has been one of the poisons that has brought on so much demoralization throughout the nation. “ Down with shams !” Parson Halliday very properly introduced Bowen’s “letter missive” by prayer. He seems to have had an idea that the “missive” would contain some sharp accusations against the modern St. Paul. No doubt Brothers S. V. W., Joe Howard, and others of that ilk will continue their whistling, and try to keep up their courage; but sounding brass and fog horns will not much longer protect their beloved Henry VVard, nor will they frighten the besiegers any more than do .Shearman’s tears. ——~——-————¢o« A REQUEST. As we are soon to begin the preparation of an elaborate statement of the ultimate truth of the New Departure, so far as it is known to us, we desire that all persons who have any singular, exceptional, or hitherto inexplicable sexual experiences which they think may relate to this truth, should write them out in detailed form. These com‘ munications, if desired, will be held strictly conﬁdential, so far as the writer’s names are concerned, but we propose to incorporate such parts of them as have bearing upon the truth, with the statement. This statement is designed for those only who have expressed a desire to receive the whole trnth, together with all its responsibilities, and will contain in an appendix, a,‘,list of such persons’ names with their resi- dences, through which they may come toknow each other. P—<‘>—-4 TO OUR OHIO READERS. , There is :1 bill pending before the legislature of Ohio, providing for the taxation of church property. Every one W110 favors such a bill should send in a petition, with all the names that can be obtained, asking that the bill pass. _j—»;. LECTURE ENGAGEMENTS. Mrs. VVoodhull lectured in Memphis on Sunday, in N ash- ville, on Monday, and in Chattanooga to-night (Tuesday). And is to lecture at Atlanta, Ga., to-morrow night (Wednes- day) ;at Augusta, Thursday; at Macon, Friday; and at Mont- gomery, Ala., Saturday of this week. Route beyond there is not yet known, but will probably be Selma, Jackson, Vicksburg, Mobile, New Orleans, Galveston and other Texan cities in regular succession. All letters about lectures should be addresed to the United States Lecture Bureau, Box 3,791, New York City. 4;. VV*- Bowen’s “Doxolager” will probably cause a fresh ﬂow of briny tears from Shearman, an essay from J 0 Howard (or a squib from Jugg), a hundred fresh camilias from the ladies of old Plymouth, and some capital stories from “Henry Ward B., of Puritan stock,” who faithfully preaches “the word to his flock,” and then the brethren will vote an increase of salary, and request that brother S. V. White’s name be dropped for making a fussy time about nothing. Will somebody give the names of the male mem- bers of that society who have not yet been prominently connected with the defence of the “ Great Defendant ” and its ﬁnancial condition, officers, vestrymen? Let it be seen. of wl-hm the rank and ﬁle consist. Those most prominent were registered long since—Henry’s letters to Moulton did that business—but his faithful sepoys! poor fellows, pity them! ——~———————+~>-—-———— THE -DAWN OF DAY. Are we in reality to have more truth in the world?- There is a vague idea tripping around corners, pitching into churches, schools, theatres, warehouses, prisons——even law oﬁices ﬁnd it frequently perched on their court calendars; that we are “too smart”——that we “cant”——are “hypo- crites ”——evcn worse, if that is possible—all false. _. Are your readers expected to believe the New Departure is to make a clean sweep of all this rubbish that has swamped so many millions of good fellows ? Suppose we begin by inviting that much-abused woman, Elizabeth R. . Tilton, whom we fervently hope will yet have faith enough in truth to clasp it, and demand the world’s approval. She has carried the sins of Plymouth on her shoulders, and besides, a load of masculine selﬁshness beyond endurance. She has heroic qualities. The good in all directions will welcome l1er—we pray she may step ﬁrmly to the front," and fear not. SOME WOMEN IN CHERRY VALLEY.

It paragraphs, punctuates, underscores and does. ﬁgure. work—in a word, all_ things necessary to the production of a perfect manu- script.

Having thoroughly tested its practical worth, I ﬁnd ita complete writing machine, adapted to a wide range of work. The one I purchased of you several weeks since has been in daily use, and gives perfect satisfaction. I can write with it more rapidly and legibly than with a pen, and with inﬁnitely greater ease. Wishing you success commensurate with the merits of your wonderful and eminently useful in- vention, I am, respectfully yours, ‘ E. II. JENNY. Orrrer. or DUN, BAELOW & CO., COM.

Respectfully yours, DUN, BARLOW & C0. Orrion or WESTERN UNION TELEGRAPII Co., CHICAGO, July 8, 1874. DENSMORE, Yosr & Co.: Geni‘lemen—-Having had the Type-Writer in use in my oﬂice during the past two years, I do not hesitate to express my conviction of its great value. Its best recommendation is simply to say that it is a complete writing machine. The work of writing can be done with it faster, easier and with a better result than is possible with the pen. The time required to learn its use is not worth mentioning in comparison with the advantages afforded by the machine. Yours truly. ANSON STAGER. What Governor Howard of Rhode Island says: PHENIX, R. I., March 27, 1875. DENSMORE, Yosr &. Co.: « Genllemen——We have now had the Type-Writer ab out a month, and are entirely satisﬁed with it. There can be no doubt in regard to its usefulness. When I saw the advertisement of the machine originally I had little faith in it. An examination surprised me, but not so much as the practical working has. We have no trouble whatever with it, audit is almost constantly in operation. I think that it must rank with the great beneﬁcial inventions of the century. Very truly yours, ‘ HENRY HOWARD. MORRISTOWN, June 29, 1875. DENSMORE, Yosr & Co.: Crlenllemen-—The Type-Writer which I bought of you last Marchlhave used ever since, and I wish to ex- press my sense of its very great practical value. In the ﬁrst place, it keepsin the most perfect order, never failing in doing its work. I ﬁnd also, after having used it for four months, that I am able to write twice as fast as with the pen, and with far greater ease. The mechanical execution has become so far instincxive that it takes far less of the attention of the mind than was the case with the pen, leaving the whole power of the thought to be concentrated on the composition, the result of which is increased vigor and strength of expression. The result is also so far better than the old crabbed chirography that it is a great relief both to myself and to my correspondents. The sermons written in this way are read with perfect ease by in- valids and those who_for any cause are kept from church on Sunday. which ﬁlls a want often felt by ministers. And altogether. if I could not procure another, I would _not part with this machine for a thousand dollars; in fact, I think money is not to be weighed against the relief of nerve and brain that it brings.

V p-<Qo« BEESON AND WARREN ormsn ON THE MARRIAGE QUESTION. Editors of the Weeklgt/—In your issue of Feb. 5th, our good brother, Warren Chase, invites me “to tell more plainly what I think of the marriage question.” Well, I agree with him “thatthis branch of the great sectarian tree bears the worst fruit of any;” and that it includes “the sum of all villainies,” and therefore if “there are Spiritualists who want to shape anew the unholy tree and its evil fruits,” I beg that he will not class me as one of them. Andl wish to remind him that the article in your issue of Jan. 22, which he re- ,views was simply a statement of the motives which induce marriage, and not the modes by which it is eﬁected; for no matter whether a priest.or a squire pronounced the fact, or the parties themselves. as in the case of Moses Hull and Mattie Sawyer, or Leo Miller and Mattie Strickland, it is in each case marriage, for the dictionary deﬁnes it as the “union of the sexes.” The difference is that in one case it is in accordance with law, and in the other with nature. The law compels its perpetuity for life, while nature permits it only while it ‘serves the purpose for which it was instituted. Thus, in one case, it must continue no matter how irksome and hurtful to parents andchildren; while in the other it ceases when its highest object is accomplished. It is akin to slavery with all its horrors; or to freedom with all its bless- ings. This vast advantage of one over the other is overlooked and hardly noticed by the masses, because priestcraft has given bad laws a religious sanction, until long custom has become a second nature. But of all great wrongs'this, which is emphatically the greatest, -may be the soonest and the easiest overcome. Indeed, if it is true what has been aﬁirmed, that comparatively few know who are their own fathers, and that there is as much sexual commerce outside of wed- lock as there is within, it is already largely overcome. All that is now required is the use of pure instinct, enlightened reason, and a properly educated public conscience, together with a right application of the Scriptural injunction, “Whom God hath joined together, let no man put asunder.” The swallowsiunder theﬂeaves are_ thus mated, and surely the humans in the house can obey God's law and live as har- moniously as they. The ﬁrst organized public effort should be a call for a national mass meeting to convene early in sum- mer, to discuss the cause and itlfe cure of existing wrongs, and to nominate a President and Vice-President of the United States whose well-known‘ enlightenment and love of justice will be a guarantee for their sanction ofall the essential reforms which are new advocated by the mostladvanced minds in the country. I think it needs no argument to show thatthis is the ﬁrst step inlthe order of progress, because unless We have the right men in oﬂice, we cannot have the necessary change in“ the Constitution for woman’s suﬁrage arid for her pecuniary provisionwwhich will be necessary to her highest and holiest function as the mother and educator of our race. I therefore respectfully suggest that if neither _the _Woman’s Suffrage, nor the Sexual Science, nor the Uni- versal Peace Associations, issue a call for the above purpose by the close of February, that Mrs. Woodhull and her im- mediate associates do so, at such time and place as they deem proper.

[REMARK——F’S expectations on this head would have been more than realized had not the tendency to organize industry been suppressed by force. The co-operationworkshops insti- tuted by, or through the inﬂuence of Louis Blane in 1848, or just after the revolution of that year, were, notwithstanding persistent assertions to the contrary, completely successful, and therefore put down by force. This I had from an eye— witness, a French shoemaker, with whom I was acquainted in Washington. Other co—operative movements were at- tended by “ mouches,” or spies, who endeavored to entangle those concerned, in some political matter, so as to give the authorities a pretext for suppressing them.“ Failing in this, the “ mouche ” -would “ spin a yarn out of whole cloth ” for the same purpose. My information here again is from a gen- tlemen then residentin Paris, now in Washington, whom a “ mouche ” informed what he had been doing, remarking that it was disgraceful to those who arranged it, but as he (the mouche) was paid to do the work he had to do it. Yet a Republican (I !) American press is‘ down on the Commune because its partisans, or some other persons, drowned one of those wretches, paid to do any villainy which French oﬁioials may order “in the interests of society and religion”! I This in connection with other " straws,” indicates that a coup d’ etat to i.naugurate a civil and religious despotism may not be less successful in America in 1880 than it was in France thirty years previously. At any rate, ﬁunkies are sufficiently numer- ous and inﬂuential.) V — - We are about to make a giant stride in the social career.

But observe the consequences resulting from the delay. N ct over ﬁfty years (probably) have passed since the above extract was written, and four revolutions have already occurred in France, a ﬁfth being only held back by a repressive, oppressive ecclesiastico—military organization, which? governs France through ahold-over legislature having no title or pretence of right,‘ legal or constitutional. In 1848, as to-day, the French people (or a large portion of them) were and are ready for a large installment of co-operative, unitary life, which is only suppressed by force. And notwithstanding the enormous obstacles thus imposed tne “ Social Palace of Guise ” exhibits the superiority and practicability of unitary life in avery high degree. As to the “ score of revolutions” a million of lives have been recently sacriﬁced in the United States to es-. ablishp the germ of a. semi-savage monarchy, built on that struggle for freedom of another race, present social conditions in the United States only oﬁering option between the Scylla of chattel slavery and the Charybdis of a semi-African gov- ernment, pivoted on dollars, dinners, drinks, “addition, di- vision and silence ”-—option between the lash of the planta- tion as the sceptre resultant from a " third term.” And some think that we must sacriﬁce more lives to put down the sceptre than have been expended to raise up the chattel. But the Granger and the labor movements and their auxiliaries approximate to guaranteeism by the necessities of their being, andmay thus save these anticipated evils by lifting us up out of this ‘accursed but worshipped “ civilization.

That it is a crime which it is equally well knownthat it can be committed by married the latter. It is also well known that the crime is often com- Fmitted on married women, and often by married men, and the criminal law reaches and recognizes all these cases except where the married man is the husband of the victim, and then the crime is no longer a crime, for the priest has by law sold him the indulgence, and he is licenced to commit the second crime in the calendar, and go unpunished. Why not‘: law and religion to commit this crime? Formerly he had the same right to murder her and her oﬁsprlng, but we have ameliorated the slavery a little where it does not interfere with the sexual lusts of the law-making sex; but in this the tyranny is as complete as in the days of Constantine and Nero. , ~ It is a well—established fact that there are ten rapes committed by. husbands on their wives to every one com- mitted on others. And if it is murder for a man to kill his wife, why is it not rape when he commits the same act on her that is rape when committed onganother woman that has not been married? A crime is a crime, murder is murder, and rape is rape, and how a few words of priest or magistrate can remove the criminality from one of the acts,.and. leave, it in others, is what we cannot see, unless it is “compounding felony." ‘ A - 2 The pretence that the woman has consented at the time of marriage to let the man commit rape on her While she ' lives is false.

Suppose she had promised to let him kill hex- ﬁrstfchild, and he did it and proved she had consented at the time of marriage, would that exculpate him from the crime of murder? Or suppose she had consented to his murdering her the ﬁrst time she failed to get his dinner precisely at cution for murder? If an-actis a crime in itself can any second party by consentingto its committal release the party from criminality? We would not abate the horror nor lessen the criminality of rape, but we would protect wives bylaw against it the same as we do against the next higher crime of murder, and hold the husband as guilty who commits it on his wife as the one that commits it on any other woman. nected with it. If an act is a crime at all it is a crime “per se,” and no licence to commit it can palliate its enormity. An unmarried woman consenting to sexual intimacy at'one time with a man, does not prevent his ever after committing a rape on her. She might have been his wife and ‘afterward divorced‘, and then he could be held in law‘ for a rape on he’r;"i but if the courts had not absolved the contract he could not be held, even if the act cost her her life, as is often the case. deacon who insisted on commerce with-his wife a few days after the birth of her child, and in which he forced the ‘lady that waited on her to leave, with severe threats and against the tearful entreaties of the wife, whoassured him that it would kill her, and it did, and he knew what killed her, but he soon,had.-a.nother’victim underthe holy institution. 4 ' fully Vequallinggin enormity those outside marriageiwhen ,our papers and few of our writers who see the enormity of this crime committed out of marriage bonds cannot see any merit.

Dear Weekly Reaclers—Our beloved Mrs. Woodhul1’slecture in St. Louis last night, Feb. lst, 1876, was an event never to be forgotten by any one who sat underthe burning eloquence of her impassioned oratory. She entranced her auditors, and no wonder, for she spoke with the tongues of angels. Ah, beautiful soul, crowned with the gift of God’s holy spirit, thou shalt reign over cruel injustice in triumph and splendor. Thou art rapidlyebuilding upon earth a holy temple into which the prejudice of ignorance that has assailed, and still dares cowardly assail thee, shall yet, under righteous judg- ment of Christ, humbly beg an entrance. God speed the day! God speed the hour! . , , Hard-faced men that may have come to satisfy a ‘vulgar curiosity, quickly changed in countenance, and were wrapt in tearful ‘attention throughout, while women wept in sym- pathy with every noble utterance. I believe she must /have won every heart present, for such melting, soul-reaching, magic tones preaching to “stones would make them capable.” For more than an hour after she ﬁrst appeared upon the platform, I thought she wore upon her head an ornament C other than the white rose at the back; but after my vainly trying to deﬁne what it was, it suddenly disappeared, and then returned again to make itself manifest to me as a crown of hallowedliglzt Which God had placed upon the head of His A beautiful city-—the daughter of Zion——whose struggles will soonif-accomplish His kingdom. For these divine blessings I believe you will all join me in praise to His holy name. DARL Sr. MARYS. TO MATTIE STRICKLAND. I wish to express in the WEEKLY my appreciation of the . position of Mattie Strickland. 'When so many blunders in conjugal unions are made by reformers in trying to exter- nalize their ideals in the miserable, yielding-to custom way they do, it» is ‘truly a hopeful sign to see even one woman establish and follow a custom which her moral sense tells her is the only true basis on which to begin to realize an untram- meled life; and it is the duty of all appreciating her endeavors . to attain this ideal, to add their mite of magnetic support in some way. - - Grand ideals of manhood and womanhood cannot be at- tained by yielding to the demands of custom when We feel ' them to be demoralizing to our ﬁner sensibilities;_and the nature that can come so boldly to the front must be true and ‘ pure. - What an exalted womanhood it portrays to thus create its exterior conditions in harmony with its interior concep- tions !

Editors Woodhull and Claﬂiws Weekly: ‘DEAR SIR-—'1‘he peace and quiet of our hum-drum life were ‘disturbed yesterday evening by the arrival in our little city of Mrs. Victoria C. Woodhull and Miss Tennie Claﬂin. , Mrs. Woodhull was advertised to lecture here on the evening of the 9th, and our people were on the qui site to hear what this ‘noted social reformer had to say.‘ _At an early hour the elite of our city, and members. of our.Legis1ature, which is now in session began to gather at De Give’s Opera House. By eight o’clook a full audience had assembled, comprising the A ='i1_1t911ig911°9 Of 12116 Stateaﬁnd 8». few minutes afterward Mrs. Woodhull came upon the stage, with Bible in hand, and read the 16th verse of the 3d chapter of 1st Corinth. : “‘ Know ye I not that ye are the Temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you.” For nearly two hours she kept that audience spell-bound by the magic of her voice. while she portrayed to them the many ways in which the temple of the living God is deﬁled, and gave many statistical ‘facfts‘cou- cerning the rapid march that .diis‘_ease,_insan.ity and Crimes are making upon the human race. She appealed in glowing words of inspiration that must haveburned inf-o,.the soul for . reform; Never was a speaker more intently liisteneid to, or an audience more thoroughly imbued with the ftfcts presented in regard to social reform than this one last evening. A Cheer upon cheer arose from them, though the words must have cut deep as they fell from the lips of a woman who dared tell them of their short-comings. To—day, on our streets, Mrs Woodhull’s name is on the iips of everyone, in words of praise, wishing her God-speed in her glorious work, until the temple of the living God is made a ﬁt habitation for Him. If she were to lecture here again, the Opera“ House would not hold the audience that would comepout to hear her.

Respectfully, : V F. F. TABER, M. J). A VOICE FROM CHICAGO. 1 Dear friends of the Weekly; , _ God speed the New departure, and well we know He wil in his own good time and way. I acted. upon your suggest- tions, and reached Chicago on Thursday evening. By Sun- day I got organised enough to take an out- look upon the spiritual status in Chicago. I ﬁnd upon "investigation abundant evidence of disintegration and decay. The wonld—be leaders—-they who assume to have a fee simple upon the spiritual world, and its amamuensis here—are in hot water; whilst the people are hungering for the bread of life. The ﬁrst society of spiritualists have been rent in twain, and while a part are in attendance upon the ministration of John Collier of England at Snow’s Hall, a considerable num- ber were to—day endeavoring to organize under the ministra- tion of E. V. Wilson. Wilson remarked to me as he took my hand, and inquiredhow the cause East was : “We are all broken up into factions.” As strong and ponderable as he is I felt that in this effort he would be like the Cincinnati speculator of whom a friend said : “He has come to the end of the rope, there is no knot on it, and he will slip off.” But failure and disappointment, as are prophesied, will inevitable attend these who do not accept and enter into the fullness of a new departure or’ dispensa- sation. But all we can do, is to do all we are inspired to do, then leave “the dead to bury the dead.” I never felt a deep- er and more intense inspiration to labor in the Master’s vineyard, than I now feel since I am safely landed here; for truly the harvest is ripening, butthe laborers are feW.” I send you all, greeting, my earnest sympathy in‘ the new de- parture to unfold the fullness of the gospel or Bible truths. - - THOMAS Coox. v CHICAGO, Jan. 18, 1876. Dear Weekly—~I ﬁnd the following from the Religious Alliance, copied into the Inter Ocean of the 17th ult: “These children are seldom born of the miserable beings who speculate on their helplessness. Some are born of young beggars, but more are the illegitimate offspring of youthful fo1ly—-children born in city and country hospitals and in hidden resorts—-children whose mothers are forced by society to deny their young, and who consequently become the lawful prey of. thieves and beggars.” The Alliance, as quoted by the Inter Ocean, very pertinentl y says, that the majority of these children are those-whose mothers are forced by society to deny their offspring. Would it not be well for those papers to ask themselves the question: Who and what are responsible for the conditions in society that force women to the unnatural necessity o crushing the highest and noblest feelings of their being-—.~a mother’s love forlher oft'spring—that;they; may conform to the urgent demands of that society? , V - g If it is free thought and free thinkers, Spiritualism and Spiritualists, Communism or Communists, or even Wood- hullism and Woodhullites, let them know, and they will probably correct the abuse. I But, on the other hand, if these evil results are the natural consequences of present customs and institutions against which these classes rebel, then is it not high time that they should be put aside to give room for something better. .

It is twenty years and more since a de- mand was made by certain eccentric women for equality of political rights; but since the ballot has been given to the coloredrace, partly for the promotion of abstract justice——a sort of compendium between slavery and freedom——and par- tly for less laudable party reasons, almost all the intelligent and reasoning portion of our American woman are in favor of it, and the century willnot close without witnessing the achievement of this greatest of all,in,nov.ations.

First, it will conduce to the elevation and moderation of p_o1%_t%cs, elevate the man, and moderate the excesses of pub- ic i e. . Secondly, women, afterftheir emancipation, will be situated, or, by this act, will place themselves in a position where they will be obliged to grant a man the right to criticise their er- rors and sins in an unvarnished and honest manner. This is impossible in their present passive situation, when with hackled movements they are justiﬁed in retorting to any're- preach, such as, “We are what you have made us, give us our freedom and make us self—resp0nsible beings!” I had heard that among the many females employed in cutting and arranging the lUnited States currency, (amount- ing from five cents to hundreds of dollars per package) in the treasury department, there ‘was never any stealing; while among the males thus employed, although so much discretion had been exercised in« their selection, I there were large and small sums embezzled‘ daily. You have heard of the revelry and bacchanalian nights, and doubts loud and deep expressed in regard to the virtue of these women employed in the treasury, but no one distrusted their honesty. I This fact was mentioned to me while in a little town‘ in Kentucky, where I was paying oﬁ an Illinois regiment, and my out money gave out, and I could not complete the pay- ment without “paceling” atleasta hundred of the sheets, on each of which twenty of the5 cent notes were printed; I hap- pened to notice a number of boys and girls playing near our 4 headquarters, and called them in. There were ﬁve boys and six girls. I promised each of them a brand new 10 cent note if they would out those sheets for me. They cheerfully consented.) I separated them, gave the boys 50 and the girls 50 sheets. When they had ﬁnished, my clerk counted the money, and out of the parcels cut and arranged by the boys, only one in ten was correct, while in those prepared by the girls, not one ﬁve cent note was miss—— ing. _ In the evening I related this incident to the planter at whose house we were quartered, in the presence of his little daughter, one of the girls before mentioned. She asked the amount purloined (one dollar and forty-ﬁve cents), hastened away and in the company of her girl playmates sought the little thieves and made them restore the ‘money. Every one of the boys had taken a few cents. Beaming with happiness she came to me with the money saying, “We got it all back but ﬁve cents, and mamrna put that to: it." Dr. Bernays thinks that if women once have their hands on the public helm the ship of state will not be so liable to get on to the shoals; they will force the men to act honestly, and save their own native integrity by not countenancing trickery on the otherside. he public morals will be decidedly im- proved, and public life become purer through the inﬂuence of woman. . Still, the doctor says we will, in time, be some- what inoculated by the lax principles of his own sex; but he is willing we should suffer by this, if a universal advantage is gained thereby. He is anxious for us to be “equal,” but promises to put us through "a. course of sprouts” and tell us our faults and point out our defects with a freedom that will astonish us, simply because we do not expect to be treated as a “public body,” though we aspire to its rights . He further declares the American ladies now pass all their time in prep- arations for and attending concerts, theatres and places of amusement. He does not mention churches and prayer- meetings, but I am sure that it is our American ladies that support after they build all the magniﬁcent structures in which they worship. For American woman cannot do with- out religion, even if they do, as he says, ruin their husbands by their extravagance, and would ruin more frequently if it were not for the miraculous energy of the men. ’ There is still a greater wrong to be taken into considera- ation, and Dr. Bernays gives the statistics to prove it, that human propagation is lamentably decreasing, and if it were not for the constant immigration, the United States would soon be depopulated. He draws .a veil over the manner this is brought about; nevertheless the fact remains that Ameri- can ladies object to large families. The result is a broken constitution and delicate health, although the principal objec- tion to hearing chilbren rests in the idea that it breaks the constitution, destroys the graceful, Asymmetrical form and the gazelle—like movement for which American ladies are renowned. But he says every sensible and decent human being will agree with him in thinking it is a miserable sacri- ﬁce to oifer on the altar of vanity—-this deviation from and abuse of nature’s laws that has heretofore been the basis of respectability, and nature"s badge of honor to womanhood. "Without exception all American ladies conduct them- selves with dignity, courtesy and conﬁdence everywhere. They harmonize costume and toilet by adapting it to their ‘style,’ in other words study dress effect. They all write el- egantly, comoose well, and conduct an extended correspon- dence,” and h_e_ adds furthur that they possess a Wonderful taculty of ﬁtting themselves to the changes of fortune that occur so frequently in this country, and under the most ad- verse circumstances ietain tlieirgladylike peculiarities and manners, and always endeavor ‘to makethe best of it, by never surrendering to misfortune. ’ Posessing neither the depth of character of the Grerman women, nor the effer- vescent spirits of the French women; cold,super.ﬁcial, they are but made so by education; ornamented human beings, bhI'0l1gh the fact of the stereotyped treatment they receive from the gentleineii. But .Dl‘. B. declares they will become true, thorough women by the power of freedom and the‘ba1- lot.« He further blames the tyrant, fashion, that plays the despot in no other country more than in America, for many of Ami_ar_1ca’s peccadillos. Not only does this tyrant rule in large cities, but also in the remotest corners of the land. The perpetual migration. of people back and forth frpm state to state and city to country, carries the most absiirb fashions into the very backwoods. ‘No sooner are a pair of patent “calves” perambulated on Broadway, New. York. by. some fashionable lady‘ than great loads of these wonderful articles are shipped lI1LO the far West. A new agricultural machine, a new novel, a new piece of dress goods, or improved pump, &c., anything that may appear in the East, in six or eight weeks after, may be found in the stores of,Nebraska, or even New Mexico. If it -is fashionable to wear beards in Boston, the_very last backwoods man will grow one. If the Yankee ladies consider it proper to have only two children, all the other ladies inthe country will do there utmost to pattern after their Eastern model, etc. He says he never know an American to carry -the same pocket knife over three months, or the same watch over three years. Everything new must be had; if he cannot aﬁord the best quality, it must at least have the latest “style” in appearance, and in this respect the ;adies _take the lead. If it is fashionable to wear the hair short, immediately every head is sliorn, and when the next mandate calls for long braids they are furnished at the hair- dresser’s, without the least care whether people think they grew on the scalp to which they are attached or not. The skill of our dentists is lauded, but it can be attributed to the constant demand on their ingenuity by ladies who have their ‘ healthy teeth extracted because there may be some blemish of_color or shape, and others are inserted to please and suit. Still, _whatever is artiﬁcial or imitation is presented for just what it is, and the doctor crowns the American people with the noblest of all crowns-—honesty. It cannot be denied that he_is correct in one respect, and that is our spasmodic way of doing things generally. We rush en ma.._s:se at an idea that strikes the popular vein; ..for instance, the whole nation be- comes ﬁred with religious enthusiasm. Certainly the nation hasgot one of those maddening prayingspells just now. and every idle fellow that is out of a situation will start up a re- viral somewhere, and the pestle resales him set their ssspsl for the time-being until they are disgusted withbis illiteracy, or his “yarns” are exhausted, or perchance a new opera or some circus attracts the “spirit” in another direction, and the religious "straw-ﬁres” are burned out.- One thing, though, it were well to say to the doctor, and that is, if he is in favor of giving us the ballot because it would make better mothers, wives and daughters of us, I think he is just a little in error. If w.e_would attend political meetings and keep posted, as we certainly ought, _to become unbiased voters pro and con in all things pertaining to pub- lic life, we would want to become editors, Judges and oﬁce holders, etc., etc. I And then indeed our country would be- come depopulated, for we should have no time left to attend to maternalduties, and scorn to become wet-nurses. And as we crowd you out of the public arena where would you go? Nature, methinks, never intended you to perform our duties for us. I Z ‘ e . Yes, I concede the ballot and its attendent associations would develop our intellectualcapacities, but while one out of ten women would retain the charm of domestic manners, the other nine would develop an Amazonian bravado that would tear down the invisible, but hourly perceptible, barrier that keeps the rudest man in his place when in the presence of a lady, a woman, be she clothed in cotton or velvet. The respect pantaloons alwaysfgrant petticoats. ~ I SELECTED. “ Before I trust my fate to thee, Or place my hand in thine, Before I let thy future give Color and form to mine, Before I peril all for thee, Question thy soul to-night for me. “ Is -there within thy heart a need That mine cannot fulﬁl?

WE are prepared to furnish- a few hundred complete sets of theﬁrst series of Bible Articles consisting of ﬁfteen num- bers of the WEEKLY, for one dollar, postage paid. Our . friends should lose no opportunity to bring ' these articles to the attention of those whom they can interest. A careful study of all of them is necessary to a complete understand- ing of the great and all-important truth that is yet to be re- vealed; which must be carefully and judiciously brought be- fore the world, as the sun comes upon it, bringing ﬁrst the break-of-day, next its dawn, and afterward its full meridian splendor. ‘ l .+—4 THE DOUBLE TRIANGLE ; OR, THE SIX—POINTED STAR IN THE EAST. . For we have seen his star in the East, and we are come to worship lm.-Sr. MATTHEW, ii., 2. - \\ If f ,. . vi‘ . cl’?-’ 4 \/ This ﬁgure is allegorical of the truth, to the exposition of which the WEEKLY is now devoted. It has been clearly shown in our present series of leading articles that it repre- sents the coming blending together of the inhabitants of the earth and spirit spheres in a common brotherhood, and the ‘establishment thereby of the universal human family. It also represents still another and more important truth which has not yet been introduced, but which, deﬁned in a few words, is, God in man reconciling the world unto Himself We adept this diagram as emblematic of our future Work THE TWO ALTERNATIVES. And now lest he put forth his hand and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the Garden of Eden, to till the ground from where he was taken. So he drove out the man.—Genesis ll.l—.22, 23, 24. The dead shall be raised incorruptible; and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and the mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying, Death is swallowed up in victory.-I Corinthians xv—52, 53, 54.. ll ‘ For this we say unto you by word of-. the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto thecoming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God, and the dead in Christ shall rise ﬁrst. Then we which are alive and remain, shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the God in the air; and so shall We ever be with the Lord.—-I Thessaloniansiv-15‘ to 17. But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were, finished. This is the ﬁrst resurrection. Blessed is he that hath part" in the ﬁrst resurrection; on such the second death hath no power.—Revela-’ tions xx—5 and 6. . And the spirit and the bride say, Come, And let him that heareth say, Come, And let him that is athirst,‘ come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life f'reely.—Ibid xxii—l'7. Let those who have discarded the Bible, as avbook of no account, say what they may, it is the only one ever printed that treats upon those things in which, of all things, every- body is the most deeply interested, in a manner that at all grasps the whole compass of the subject. Life and death are the two factors of the controlling power of the human mind; and these two factors, together with the causes of both, are the basis upon which the Bible is constructed. How shall the former be gained ; how shall the latter be de- stroyed, and how shall they who- have suffered from the latter be restored to the foriner, are the problems to which almost its whole space is devoted. Nor is it going too far to say, without asserting its truth or falsity, that in no other book is there any competent idea offered, of what the ulti- mate condition of life is tobe. Until the birth of modern spiritualism the people knew that they lived and were to die, and that was about the extent of their convictions. It is true that they pretended to have a belief in a heaven and a hell, but if asked to state what those very important places might be, the answers were such as to convince the questioner that they had amere belief, seldom amounting to a conception or a conviction. But what has Spiritualism done to really advance the standard of the knowable about these things‘? Can it be said——wi1l any of its “ great lights ” attempt to say—tl1at the ultimate , condition in which conscious individuality shall become immortal, has been demonstrated ? Will they say that they can show a natural process by which men and women are to develop into the immortal state? Will they assume that they have any other ground than the assertions of the spirits that the ultimate condition is a spiritual con- dition, and not spiritual and material combined ? And do they assert when» physical death is passed that the released spirit has done with earthly things, never more to desire or to be compelled to return to them? At what ﬁnality has Spiritualism arrived? It will not do to say that progress admits of no ﬁnality, because that is to say that there is no conscious individualized immortality ; that as progress goes on we are to progress out of organized individuality into, we know not what. Have we or have we not arrived at perfec tion in form ? If we have, what is that form to be ? And if not, what will be the form in which our individualities shall become immortal? Has Spiritualism decided any of these things; is Spiritualism the last development of truth that there is to be made ? If not, what is to come after Spiritualism ? The advent of modern Spiritualism has, undoubtedly, as nothing ever did before it, changed the whole face of belief in the condition after death. Before it came the after-death condition was one of unconscious sleep to the majority of the people, from which they were to be roused by the trumpet calling to resurrection and to judgment. It is safe to ‘ say that no intelligent person now believes that death is an unconscious sleep ; or that the spirit is in a comotose condition, waiting the call of God. All believe in spirit life; and many who make no profession of Spiritualism be- lieve that spirits can and do communicate. Hence we say that the whole current of thought about the after~death con- dition has undergone achange in the last quarter of a cen- tury, and that that change is due to modern Spiritualism. .We must not be understood as questioning the truth, the good, or the utility of Spiritualism. We admit all these and claim, perhaps, more for it than the most orthodox of them all have eve:'thought of claiming. But with all this, we want to know if Spiritualism, as deﬁned by those who pretend to be its rightful custodians, includes all issues in _ which the spiritual part of man is interested; are all the issues that are germain to the welfare of the race germain to Spiritualism as deﬁned by them ? And if not, whether it may not be possible that something may arise which will be of greater consequence than even Spiritualism? ‘In all ages of the world there has been at least a belief entertained, perhaps it would be nearer the truth to say that there is a ﬁxed conviction, about the reappearance upon the earth, in a physical form, of the so-called dead. The doctrine of the resurrection from the dead is as old as the records of the race, and almost as universal. It has found a place in nearly every religious faith of the ages. and forms an im- portant part of present religious creeds. In its earlier dc- velopments Spiritualism, almost alone cf all religious .issues, seemed not to recognize that there is to be anything simi- lating to the resurrection. It has always made its chief glory to depend upon the beauties of the spirit life, and has left it to be inferred, at least, that the progress maintained in that life is away from, rather than in the direction of, material things and earthly localities. The “ seventh heaven” and some far-off planetary; locality have been the worlds to which the ascending spirit is to mount at each round of progress, and with each, to be fartherremoved from earthly care, and sympathies. Overcoming the attractions to the earth, they are to ﬂy to other globes and link their destinies with the untrammeled souls of other Worlds. These, we say, have been the teachings of the leading lights of mundane Spiritualism. - ‘ - ~ But what has been the logic of Spiritualism itself ? In- stead of supporting these ideas has it not been precisely the reverse of this? Its ﬁrst manifestations in our esteem, as wellwas all its more recent developments, have been the most singularly conﬁrmative evidences that, instead of growing away from earth, spirits are coming nearer to it ; or at least, that the earth and spirit spheres are constantly approaching each other. The ﬁrst manifestation of what was recognized as of spirit origin, was the ﬁrst evidence to the world that the two worlds had grown so near to each other that it had become possible for the inhabitants of one to speak to those of the other across‘ the gulf, before too wide to be over- reached. And it is only necesssary to consider the character of the later manifestations to be convinced that the progress has been wholly and strikingly maintained in the same direction. I , Have spiritualists stopped to think what all this means *3 While singing of “That beautiful shore” have they con- sidered the meaning of the persistent effort made by spirits to return to this ? Do they imagine that that effort is a re- sult of a purely unselﬁsh purpose to teach those still in the flesh that there is an active life upon the other side of the dividing gulf ? Their doctrine upon this point does not indicate that there is so sudden a loss of selﬁshness as such a conclusion would indicate ; but, on the contrary, that spirits carry with them the traits of character with which they are endowed when leaving this sphere. Moreover, has it not always been taught that the chief interest of the spirit world is centered in the earth, and that its powers are directed to inﬂuencing earthly things; in fact, has it not been claimed repeatedly that the spirits have had an active if not a dominating part in all the strides of progress which the world has made; in all its revolutions in religion, gov- ernment and science ? And still again is it not true that it is claimed that the rapid progress in all departments of life made since the advent of Spiritualism, is due to the fact that the spirit inﬂuence has been more intimate with, and had more eﬁect upon, the world, than before that time ? Most certainly will Spiritualists admit all this ; but will they also hdmit the necessary logic ? ' And what have they to say of materializations? What does this newest phase of manifestations mean? Is it not demonstration clear as mid-day sun that the two worlds are coming actually together. Admitting what most Spiritualists believe to be true, that there have been actual materialize- tions of perfect bodies, and that these have grown from very small beginnings, what is to be the outcome in a few years , more, if thegprogress continue? After spirits have demonstrated that they can materialize perfectly, are they going to drop it there, and, turning away from earth, direct their attention to establish the earlier teachings of spiritual philosophers? Now is it "not a factthat those who taught these earlier doctrines of Spiritualism see that the stern logic of events has already proved their theorizing false, and that it is useless longer to bandy wordsnpon sustaining them? And is it not also a fact that the developments of materiali- zations are unrefutable corroborations of the bible doctrine of the resurrection? What is it to be resurrected from the dead if it be not to come again to earth in ﬂeshly bodies; in bodies having the same organs and functions common to human bodies? And why do they not admit thatthe resur- rection so vividly described in the bible, is now actually begun? Is it because they do .not wish to admit that the “old and Worn-out bible” was wiser than all of them; that the seers and prophets of two thousand years ago knew. more of _what should come than the great lights of the present knew, just before it began to come? Is it true that all this hesitation of Spiritualists to acknowledge these things is because they do not want to admit it? It seems so to one who looks on from an independent position; Then what are the alternatives presented to Spiritualists? They will be obliged to abandon their earlier cherished doc- trines and accept the facts ,5 that are to come, or else they will renounce spiritualism as wholly of the devil and fall into the bosom of the denying church. But few, however, and they of the kind who are more bigoted and intolerant than the church itself, will deny the light they have re- ceived. They will soon accept the necessities of the\situa~ tion and acknowledge. that the best thing that they can do is to aid the spirits in their unconquerable desire to .re- habilitate themselves with ﬂesh, and will turn to look after . their own physical conditions, and to make them pure and clean; to ﬁll the atmosphere in which they live, with in- ﬁuences that will invite and not repel their anxious friends; , to harmonize themselves and their relations so that their inﬂuence may be fit for spirits to come in contact with; to bear and rear their children in such a Way that they shall be fit companions for “the langel.s;” in short, they must Feb. 26, 1876.

VVe say that this is the‘ necessary logic of the facts that Spiritualism and Spiritualists them- selves have given us ‘to consider, and confess that we have waited patiently for some one to acknowledge that these things are so, until “the time” is so near at hand that it must needs be spoken, that those who have recognized them, and failed to make it known, may be called to judg- ment. VERIFICATION. It will be remembered by our readers that we have long since claimed that the periodical wasting away of woman’s life is a disease. But it is not known to them that we were conscious of this a long time before we announced it to the public, and that we called the attention of numerous phy- sicians to what we believed about it, and endeavored to induce them to enter upon an investigation of the subject. Whether that to which we are going to refer is a direct result of oureﬁbrts or not we cannot say at the present time, but since it is admitted to be a new thought in the medical world, it is fair to suppose that what we have been agitating for three years or more is really at the bottom of the investigation which has been made by the medical scientists, and which has resulted in a complete veriﬁcation of our previous discovery. This waste is now pronounced by high authority in medical science to be “an abnormal function,” and to be placed side by side with any other hemorrhage from the interior of the body, as bleeding of piles or at the nose. We are not prepared now to present the whole case as laid. down‘ in a late medical publication, but we are justified in saying that it establishes all that we have claimed of this function, and goes, with its deductions, even far beyond anything that we have any more than hinted at. This veriﬁcation has been published widely, having appeared in all the medical journals of the country of which we have any knowledge, and is, therefore, fully beforethe whole medical world, because _every -physician of any note takes one or more medical magazines. The recognition of this’ discovery is in itself siifﬁcient to create a revolution in our present social customs and ethics, and if every physician who knows that the truth has been at last spoken would perform his duty to those who trust him with their lives, it would not be a year before this revolution would be openly acknowledged to be under full headway, as it has really. . been secretly for a year. Let us say to our friends, who are anxious to have the whole truth, to be patient. Things are moving rapidly enough. When we began the exposition of the Bible Mys- tery, of which the fact in question forms a most prominent part, we had no hope that the medical world would come to our assistance. But it is true, nevertheless, now, that if there is to be odium attached to the declaration that woman’s curse is a disease, it must be bourne by medical authority as well as by us. But the chief value of this veri- ﬁcation does not lie in what has been done already, but in the results to which it is certain to lead. The fact that has been veriﬁed was the ﬁrst one to be made clear to us, and from this, further investigation led us, as it will lead the medical investigators, to the discovery of other facts that will verify and demonstrate the possibility of immortality in the ﬂesh, which to us is just as clearly to be the necessary outcome and culmination of creative evolution as that day succeeds to night, or that the human is the necessary cul- mination of the animal. It is to be by no miracle, but to depend upon the evolution of matter, and of mind and spirit in their control of matter. But for the immediate present, let us say to our friends who have caught a glimpse of,the great truth that lies concealed behind this fact that is now veriﬁed, take courage; ‘and to those who have not yet seen a, ray of this truth, that this veriﬁcation by medical scientists of what we have been saying so long, is only the beginning of what shall end in complete demonstration of immortality through the normal use of what is now declared to be abnormal waste, When this shall come, there will also come an acknowledgement that the seers and prophets of ancient times knew more about the secrets of creation than any modern scientists have as yet discovered, and with it an appreciation of the Bible as the Book of Books, for in it the whole story is told in words so plain, when once the key is had, that he who runs may read. 44¢» 4 V 6'’ WHO PAYS THE PUBLIC EXPENSES? Nothing is more deceitful than appearances. In almost every sense the actual is precisely the opposite from the seeming. In no case is this more forcibly illustrated than in the apparently evident answer that is made when the question is asked, Who pays the taxes? Go to the assess- ors’ oﬁices and turn over their books, and there will be found the names of all the property-holders in each district, with their property assessed at so much. Go to the collectors’ offices and there will be seen, in tax-paying season,man after man, representing the wealth of the city or town, paying his taxes. Of course they hand the money to the collector, and hence when theanswerlis returned, it is, The rich men pay the taxes. , ‘ But it is no mcre true than it would be to say that the boy whom the merchant sends to the bank to pay his note is the payer of the note. There may be isolated cases, per- haps we may say exceptional cases, where, if the individual property is considered for the present time merely, it may be said that wealth pays the tax; but we will consider this hereafter to see how deceptive is even this, Taking the aggregate of wealth in the country, it is true that it does not contribute a farthing toward defraying the expenses of government, local, State, or national. The fact is that the aggregate of wealth increases every year. What makes it increase? Labor, simply. If it were not for this; if there were no labor; ‘if people lived upon accumulated Wealth and there were any taxes paid, then it might be said that wealth pays taxes; but otherwise not. If wealth pay the expenses of government then it would _ decrease every year by the amount so paid. Labor not only pays all the taxes, but it also adds the increase _of each year to the aggregate of last year’s wealth, the holders of the wealth really being the channels or the agents for labor. All wealth is the result of labor. The men who hold it never add a dollar to their possessions.‘ Even the man who should pay taxes on United States bonds out of the interest which he receives from the government would pay money that came straight, though through many hands, from the daily laborer. - ' , It is the people who do the work; those who are paid by the day for their daily labor, from whom all this money comes. Doesn’t this seem clear? If there are any rich men to whom it does not seem so, let themdischarge their laborers and stop the work that is going on upon their property, and then see where the money would have to come from to meet the demands of the government. But labor does even more than this; a thousand times more than this. It not only pays all the expenses of maintaining the government-—the interest on the public debt, salaries and contingencies——but it feeds, clothes and houses every man, woman and child in the world who do not labor’ enough to do it themselves. Every ‘r‘ gentleman” who smokes his half dollar cigars, and drinks his ﬁve dollar champagne, and sports a ten, twenty, or ﬁfty thousand dollar mistress, or wife, as the case may he, does so at the expense of labor, for it is from ‘this source that the substance comes by which these expenses are defrayed. We repeat, if the rich do not believe this, let them discharge their laborers and see to what they would come. A Is it any wonder, then, that the bond-holders and the money-lenders are unanimously in favor of retiring the “ greenbacks ” and of issuing more national currency? Not at all. If there were $1,000,000,000 more national currency issued, they would draw from the industrial classes $60;000,000 or more per annum as interest, because if this currency were issued, the banks would have to deposit that much in bonds with the Treasury, on which they would A draw $30,000,000 from the government, and then they would loan the currency for as much more. Now, if this billion of dollars were in greenbacks instead of bank cur- rency, all of this immense sum would be saved to labor. It is not to be wondered at, that manufacturers are compelled to reduce wages or close their shops, when theyare obliged to pay to these bond and bank mén from twenty to ﬁfty per cent. interest, or discount, to get money with which to carry on their business. And yet they do not seem to know what is the matter. It is a notorious fact that manufactur- ing States are strong ‘gold-coin and bank-currency States, while their interests should make them quite the reverse. The only reason that there is any need for a protective tar- iﬁ is because the interest on money is so much higher here than it is in other countries which compete with this in manufactured goods. ‘Let the manufacturers exert their inﬂuence with Congress to have the national bank Act re- pealed, and the government to issue “ greenbacks ” enough to pay off the bonded debt and stop the immense interest,- and to supply them with “greenbacks” without interest, on good security, as it does now the ‘fpostal system without security, and the conﬂict between labor and capital, which increases in severity every day, would be half solved. It is this God-accursed interest that is the vampire, sucking away at the vvitals of industry, and that is gradually, but nevertheless surely, sapping the life of the middle-men as well. If there» is not a change made, the time i_s not-far distant when the bond and bank men will own this country and also, virtually, all the people. For how can labor and those who stand between the laborer and these two classes, hope to hold their own against their rapacity, when labor can only increase wealth less than three per cent. per an- num, while the insatiate maw of bonds and money is not satisﬁed unless they increase at the rate of at least ten per cent. Here is the ﬁrst issue for the laborer: Greenbacks in place of bank notes, and no interest.. When these are obtained, then there will be another demand to be made. In the meantime, laborers, remember that you pay the ex- penses of every man, woman and child who does not work. TO ‘OUR OHIO READERS.

Evans, author of, “Mental Cure” and “Mental Medicine.” Colby & Rich, publishers, 9 Montgomery place, Boston. M This book is an effort on the part of the author to estab- lish the superiority of the soul over the body, as a fact. He adopts the theory that it is the intention, both of the Creator and of nature, to develop the soul until it shall master the body, so that it shall control all physical ills. The author is evidently a transcendental Spiritualist, and his book will ﬁnd no favor with the Materialistic class of mind. With him the soul is the living motor power of the universe and not a reﬁection of the action of matter. The book is wor- thy a place in any library; and may be studied with proﬁt by even the best informed. 4; VVV CORA A SYME FUND.

WOODHULL IN THE FIELD. COMMENTS on THE I>iiEss. (From the Herald, Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 10, 1876) ‘ THE EDITORIAL. .Mns. WooDHULL’s LECTURE.—-The idea running through . Mrs. Woodhull’s lecture, at De Give’s Opera House last night, made a powerful impression on the very respectable i audience of intelligent gentlemen and ladies who heard her. The diﬁiculty connected with the lecture was the reconcilia- tion "of the subject with feminine delineation of it. ‘ A scientific professor discussing the theory, that she elabo- rated, before a college of students, would seem a very ﬁt advocate of her views. And certainly if the lecture had been delivered by such a person before such an audience, its utter- ances would have been, and must have been, pronounced strikingly philosophical, full of well-considered reﬂection. and worthy of careful thought. ’ The diﬁiculty of accustoming one’s self to the discussion of the delicate theme by a woman before a mixed audience of both sexes is hard to get over. That over, the impartial critic must own. that Mrs. ‘Woodhull spoke a deal of prominent truth, and grappled with live problems in a strong manner. And as the audience poured out of the Opera House the current of comment showed that, while men were reeling jinder a sort of sense of unﬁtness in the fact that the source of the lecture was feminine, yet there was irresistible and universal recognition of the further fact that a large amount of home truth had been uttered. Mrs. Woodhull grappled with the great social problem of human procreation, and how to check the progress of disease and vice. She dealt largely in statistics of crime and sickness. in illustration of her views. She contended that the produc- tion of a nobler race of people depended upon an intelligent understanding of the great laws of nature and a conformity to those laws. There was no mincing of words in her lecture in the portrayal of disagreeable things. She proved herself- the possessor of a strong intellect with unusual powers of fluent and forcible expression. She showed herself Well: posted upon statistics of human experience. Occasionally she took the breath away by her freedom of \ discussion, and by a ﬂashing suggestion of inferential more than expressed latitude of opinion. But before ‘she got through she impressed her hearers with her undoubted belief life again repeat that had her lecture been heard from a professor in the curriculum of the university, we are frank to say, it would have been deemed orthodox and correct. Coming from a. handsome woman in the rostrum before: a social audience, it kept a Southern hearer in a sort of a whirl of revolutionary protest, due to a very audacious innovation upon deep-rooted prejudices. , [ THE REPORT. A fair audience assembled at the Opera House last night to hear the lecture of Mrs. Woodhull. When she appeared on the stage we saw ahandsome women, handsomely dressed. ‘ ‘ i’_l.‘l:ier_e was a quiver in the voice that betokened at ﬁrst thought a dash of dilﬁdence and timidity. As the lecture proceeded it seemed to be more like a. tremor of tearsin the wooniinnt e cLArLin*s WEEKLY.

The concluding portion of her lecture, inwhich this feeling was stated, was of a moving and melting character. Her picture of her trials, her separation from her daughter. and that daughter’s brave answer of love and loyalty, of the scene in prison where, kneeling in prayer,she felt that she had had a revelation of the future love of the people, and her appeal for that love, was eloquent and touching.. Her manner was very ﬁne. Grace- ful and forcible in every attitude and gesture, with a voice of rare modulation, controlled with a well—trained skill, she received the undivided attention, and swayed the hearts and applause of her auditoryfrom the beginning to the-end . ’ The matter of the lecture was one of outline and suggestion rather than distinct statement and full elucidation. The central idea was the reform of dissolute lives——the necessity existing for this in every corner of the land established by unvarying statistics. The method of reform suggested was to teach the child by fathers and mothers, but especially by mothers, that the body is the temple of God. In doing this we must be true to nature, state facts just as they exist in ‘natur.e,.give our children information in regard to all matters pertaining to nature, the origin of life, _ the necessity of purity, the results of criminal indulgence, without the false modesty which too generally prevails. B The sacredness of motherhood was a prominent idea in the lecture. -The mother reproduced in the son was a favorite thought, urged with great ‘force and beauty. N 0 one could hear the appeal for purity in connection with that holy name apd tie without an obeisance of reverence, perhaps a memory 0 tears. - .S_he maintained that reverence for the Bible was a cardinal point in her faith, and insisted that by some admission or in some form such a reverence was universal. There was nothing which would have been considered vul- gar or improper in a scientiﬁc lecture from a physiological or medical professor to young men. The truths stated as to the prevalence of prostitution and its evil eﬁects were undeniable, the ground taken against it both in males and females, among the married and unmarried, only such as any moral man and woman could take. j There were, here andfthere, ﬁne touches of humor, but the humor was without the sting of sarcasm~—it taught and en- tertained without wounding. There were sallies of wit, bursts of eloquence in ‘word and act, brilliant passages of genuine oratory. As we have stated, the pathos of the lee- ture touched its every part as with a gentle and quivering light. whose tremulous -’plea fell upon the heart already in- ﬂuenced by argument and aroused by appeal. . A From the Constttattoit, Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 10, 1876. , For several days life-size wood cut portraits of Victoria C.” Woodhull, the celebrated woman agitator in social theories, have ornamented bill boards. These were accompanied with the announcement that she would lecture here last evening. The fact excited more comment than appeared, and while hundreds shook their heads and thought it would not do to encourage her, others determined to go and hear exactly how terrible were the doctrines which had lifted this woman to such prominence and brought upon herself and sister such an avalanche of abuse. Shortly after the opening of the doors last evening the curious and interested began to arrive and ﬁll up the house. As they stopped at the window ofthe box-oﬁice they met the not unhandsome face of Mrs. Woodhull, who was acting as her own treasurer and as much at home as when discount- ing notes at the window of her Wall street bank. Securinga ticket they passed up to the door, where Miss Tennie Claﬂin, an attractive lady, with bright blue eyes and sprightly man- ners, was taking up the tickets. The audience was a large one. The members of the Senate and House of Representa- tives were present in force and were ﬂanked on all sides by some of the ﬁrst gentlemen in the -city in every department of commercial, literary and professional life. . - . Shortly after 8 o’clock Mrs. Woodhull walked upon the stage in a home-like way. She is a ' lady of commanding presence, ﬁne carriage, good features and an expression full of force and intellectual energy. She was elegantly dressed in brown cloth, elaborately trimmed with a darker shade of velvet, and she wore few ornaments. Her coiffure was simple a la Greque and her style modest enough end never extrav- agant. She has persuasive eloquence, ﬁery energy and an earnestness whose genuineness cannot be questioned. She is a woman of great ability, and states her views with singular clearness and force. She was frequently applauded with a twill, and when she ‘retired from the stage the demonstration was as enthusiastic as any orator or actor could desire. (From the~Datly 'Amem'can, Nashville.

Wood- Dress circle and parquette were jammed, and the galleries were better ﬁlled than was ever before witnessed in that thespian temple. The audience was composed of the more intelligent and cultivated citizens of the community, the ladies present being the wives and daughters of business and professional men. After the lecture Mrs. Woodhull received several letters, couched in the most complimentary terms, and specially asking that she might deliver another lecture, but she ﬁnds it necessary «to leave for New Orleans to-day. (From the Evening Mail, N ashvtlle, Tenn” Feb. (8, 1876.) MRSCVVOODHULL AT THE OPERA HOUSE. ' The lecture of Victoria C. Woodhull at the Opera House last night on “The Human Body, the Temple of God,” attracted a respectable and appreciative audience. The best of order prevailed during the evening, and the audience seemed to be deeply interested. I . ‘ a (From the Voice and Echo, Johnston [Pa.] J an. 29, 1876.) Victoria C. Woodhull delivered her famous lecture on “The True and the False, Socially,” at the Opera House, on Friday evening of last week, to a select and appreciative audience. She was attired in plain black, without any osten- tatious show» of rings, pins or chains. From the "beginning to the close she entranced her listeners with the most eloquent, rhetorical and convincing speech that has ever been deliv- ered’ in our city. As the truths, like pearls, fell from her lips they were eagerly caught by her admiring hearers and di-" gested, intellectually, and the praise givenighersince, will tes- tify that her eloquent display was never excelled by a Phil- lips, a Choate, or any other person. Would that all the mothers and daughters in our city could have left the false at home andfhea-rd the truths fall from the lips of-one of their own sex!‘ She certainly has the moral courage to dissemi- nate such facts as none dare dispute.

Have you seen the Wonderful Type- , Writing Machine? - I I No more pen paralysislI No more spinal curvature because of the drudgery of the pen. The Type- Writer has found rapid acceptance wherever intro- duced, and has fully sustained the claim that its work is twice as fast, three times as easy and ﬁve times legible asthat of the pen. It paragraphs, punctuates, underscores and does ﬁgure work—in a word, all things necessary to the production of 'a perfect manii- script. Any size or quality of paper may be used, and the most satisfactory results obtained, at a saving in time and strength of at least one hundred per cent The Type-Writer “manifolds ” ﬁfteen copies at once, and its work can also be copied in the ordinary copy-press. , V READ THE FOLLOWING INDORSEMENTS. What Mr. Jenny, of the New York Tribune, says about it: NEW "YORK, June 10, 1875. DENSMORE, Yosr & Co.: Gentlemen—I am an earnest advocate of the Type- Writer. Having thoroughly tested its practical worth, I ﬁnd ita complete writing machine, adapted to a wide range of work. The one I purchased of you several weeks since has been in daily use, ‘and gives perfect satisfaction. I can write with it more rapidly and legibly than with a pen, and with inﬁnitely greater ease. Wishing you success commensurate with the merits of your wonderful and eminently useful in- vention, I am, respectfully yours, E. H. JENNY. OFFICE or DUN, BARLOW & Co., Corr. AGENCY, } 335 BROADWAY, New York, Dec. 8, 1874. Gentlemen--The Type-Writers we purchased of you last June for our New York, Albany and Buﬁalo _ oﬂices have given such satisfaction that we desire you to ship machines immediately to other of our oﬁices at Baltimore, Cincinnati, Detroit. Hartford, Louisville, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and no more to our New York oﬁice, 335 Broadway. We think very highly of the machine, and hope you will meet with good success. ' Respectfully yours, DUN, BARLOW & CO. , Or-men or VVESTERN UNION TELEGRAPH Co., CHICAGO, July 8, 1874. DENSMOBE, Yosr & Co.: G‘enllemen—Having had the Type-Writer in use in my oﬁice during the past two years, I do not hesitate to express my conviction of its great value. Its best recommendation is simply to say that it is a complete writing machine. The work of writing can be done with it faster, easier and with a better result than is possible with the pen. The time required to learn its use is not worth mentioning in comparison with the advantages aﬂorded by the machine. Yours truly. ANSON STAGER. What Governor Howard of Rhode Island says: PHENIX, R. I., March 27, 1875. DENSMORE, Yosr & Co.: G‘entlemen——We have now had the Type—Writer about 8. month, and are entirely satisﬁed with it. There can be no doubt in regard to its usefulness.’ When I saw the advertisement of the machine originally I had little faith in it. An examination surprised me, but not so much as the practical working has. We have no trouble whatever with it. and it is almost constantly in operation. I think that it must rank with the great beneﬁcial inventions of the century. Ver yours, HENRY HOWEARD. MORRISTOWN, June 29, 1875. DENSMORE, Yosr & Co.: Centlemen—The Type—Writer which I bought of you last March I have used ever since, and I wish to ex- press my sense of its very great practical value. In the ﬁrst place, it keepsin the most perfect order, never failing in doing its work. I ﬁnd also. after having used it for four months, that I am able to write twice as fast as with the pen, and with far greater ease. The mechanical execution has become so far instinctive that it takes far less of the attention of the mind than was the case with the pen. leaving the whole power of the thought to be concentrated on the composition, the result of which is increased vigor and ‘strength of exgression. The result is also so far better than the ol crabbed chirography that it is a great relief both to myself and to my correspondents. The sermons written in this way are read with perfect ease by in- valids and those who for any cause are kept from church on Sunday,’whic_h ﬁlls a want often felt by ministers. And altogether. if I could not procure another, I would _not part with this machine for a thousand dollars; in fact, I think money is not to be weighed against the relief of nerve and brain that it brings.

BY KERSEY GRAVES, . _ Author of “The Blograplty_of Satan ”.an_d “The Btble of Bzbles ” (compmszng a descrzptzon of twenty Bzbles.) This wonderful and exhaustive volume by Mr. Graves will, we are certain, take high rank as a book of refer- ence in the ﬁeld which he has chosen for it. The amount of mental labor necessary to collate and com- pile the varied information contained in it must have been severe and arduous indeed, and now that it is in I‘ such convenient shape the student of free thought will not willingly allow it to go out of print. But the book . is by no means a mere collation of views or statistics: throughout its entire course the author—as will be. seen by his title-page and chapter-heads—follows aI deﬁnite line of research and argument_.to.the close, and his conclusions go, like sure arrows, to the mark.

Y., August, 31st, 1875 Wakeﬁeld Earth Closet Co.—We have used one of your Earth Closets now for near three years, and it has proved to be quite equal to our expectation. We do not hesitate to say that where there is imperfect drainage and the lack of water closets, the use of the Earth Closet seems indispensable for both health and comfort. And where members of the family are very young, or where they are weak and in delicate health we believe that one of your Earth Closets will in than pay for itself every year. Our feeling is, tha could not think of doing without your invention. I _ ' A. MCELROY WYLIE.

H. S. DRAYTON, ' I Ed. Phrenological Journal and Life Illustrated. From Our Home Hygienic Institute of Dansville, N. Y., Sept. 1st, 1875. ' We have used several of your Earth Closets ‘ in and about our Institution, and cheerfully accord to them the ﬁrst place, so far as our experiece goes, and it has been not inconsiderable. For all purposes of neatness, freedom from smell, and non-liability to get out of re pair, they are unsurpassed. Yours very truly, ‘ JAMES H. JACKSON, Secretary. From D. R. Locke (Nasby), Editor Toledo Blade. New York, Sept. 1st, 1875. I have used one of your best Wakeﬁeld Closets for three or four years at my residence in Toledo, and it every way satisfactory. I consider your system every way equal to the Water Closet system, and in some respects superior. It saved me the expense of a water closet, with trouble of bursting and obstructed pipes, and my friends in the country were glad to keep me supplied with dry earth, on condition of receiving in exchange the product of the closet from time to time.

THE THORNY ROAD. D ear Weekly:—“ Those who have labored most zealously to instruct mankind have been those who have suﬁered most from ignorance.” This i s no new idea, but it is one which bears constant repetition without becoming stale, for the truth it contains is ever recurring. I ﬁnd the expression as quoted above in a workentitled “ Curiosities of Literature,” ' by D’Israeli, combined with “ Curiosities of American Litera- ture," by Rufus W. Griswold. . V Immediately following the above sentence there is a list of illustrious examples of its truthfulness, which it will be well worth the while of the “general reader” to consider, as showing the cause for which the greatestand best have en- duredlthe persecution of bigotry and ignorance. Therefore I. _ need make no further apology fo.r borrowinglfrom the above - work some of its facts and some of its language to lay before the- readers of the WEEKLY. Those who are cognizant of them already will have memory refreshed. perhaps, and those who are not will be ediﬁed. I will put in quotation marks‘ the language which I employ from the book, for some of the instances I shall presume to comment upon myself if I can ﬁnd language suﬂiciently strong. ’ First, then, in the "list of martyrs to the ignorance of the age, we ﬁnd Lord.Bacon, who “ with a noble perception of his own genius,” prophesied in his will his recognition by pos- terity. Mark that noble perception of his‘ own genius! There is a distinction between conceitand egotism, or egoism as George Eliot persists in using it. But if one has genius and nobiy perceives it, methinks onlyafool or.apedant—-between , which there may be littleorno distinction—would be dis- posed to ball such perception either conceit or egotism, when it seems to be rather a sort of divine instinct, whichfserves as a buoy to keep the devoted head -above the dirty waters of ignorant detraction. Galileo suﬁered forhavipg learned that the world. moves physically, and desiring to impart his truth to. mankind, just the same as they suffer persecution to-day, who,” having learned that the world moves in a higher sense than Galileo found out, are similarly desirous ‘of arousing the stupid masses to the fact.“ ’ Harvey was ridiculed for promulgating his truth that the blood in our veins circulates . Think what he must have felt, with his knowledge of a fact, not his conviction of a theory or a prophecy yet to be elucidated or fulﬁlled, but a fact that was obtainedrby. scientiﬁc investigation and experiment—a fact beyond peradventure-—,and yet he must endure the sting- ing lash of vulgar ridicule! Could aught beside a.“no_b1e perception of his own genius ” have upheld Harvey and his great truth? Thank_God for that “ noble perception ” which gets mistaken by the unskillful for fanaticism, to which; it holds no more resemblance than an eagle to a scare-crow. Nevertheless the dolts ofphumanity laugh to-day at what they do not comprehend, just as they did when informed that their blood ﬂowed in their veins, fancying now as then that the ﬁnality of the universe was reached in their sublime conception, never dreaming of more things in heaven or earth than servejsheir immediate stupidity. V A Socrates had to die because he Was wiser than his genera- tion, and lived for some purpose in the ages. Anaxagoras was imprisoned for his idea of the Deity, which if not more just, had the merit of differiiig fromthe accepted idea, on the principle that, any change in a ﬁxed idea, lnotbased upon a fact, is pretty sure to be a; change for the better. Aristotle could’nt endure the persecution he was sub- jected to, so made his quieitus with a “cup of cold piion.” Heraclitus, who has had an illustrious follower in George ‘ Francis Train, “Was so tormented by hiscountrymen that he broke off all communication with men. ”- “Great geometricians and chemists as Gerbert and Roger Bacon were abhorred as magicians.” “Virgi1ius,Bishep of Saltzburg, went to ,the stake for, asserting that there were antipodes.” “The Abbot Trithe'm.ius,, for his trial at improv- sing stenography, or the art of secret writing, had his works burned as works of the devil.” T L An ignorant old father 'confessor, presuming that the sum of human wisdom was footed up "in his thick head, through working upon the misdirected pietyiof Galileo’s wisdom, got possession of the MSS. ofthat philosopher, and “destroyed ‘God knows how much truth has'be‘en «rletarded—destroyed it cannot be for thefeternali years of God areihers——through zeal than just judgment. _ j V “Cornelius Aggrippa was. compelled to ﬂy his country and the enjoyment of a large income, for a few philosophical exi- The peopleheld him as an object of horror, and not untre- quently when he walked he found the streets empty at his approach. He died ina hospital.” A , , p _ , ; The fly that settled on’ the head of Urban Grandier when he was being led to the stake was thought to be the devil come forhis own, because an old foolof a monkhad heard that in Hebrew, Beelzebublmeant the God of Fli:e_s.., On r such lamentable‘ ignorance havetége s.ci},1tjl_lations of .divi_ni_ty been hammered into dullness. V ‘f Sextus. the Fifth, Marechal Fabier, Roger Bacon, Caesar Borgier, his son Alexander the Sixth, and others, were sup- posed to have their diabolical attendants.” They didn’t lay claim, it seems, to supernatural assistance, which would have been some justiﬁcation for the ignorant, supplying, them with the attendance of the devil’s imps, but their superior scientiﬁc and philosophical acumen was enough to clothe them in the grim majesty of Satan. . “Cardan was believed to be a'magician. The fact is that he was, for hisptime, la, very able naturalist, and hewho hap- pened to know something of the arcane. of nature was im- mediately. suspected of magic. Even the learned themselves who had not applied to natural philosophy seem to have acted with the same feelings as the most ignorant; for when Albert, usually called the Great——a.n epithet he owed to his name, De G»root—constructed a curious piece of mechanism which sent forth distinct musical sounds, Thomas Aquinias was so terri- ﬁed at it that he struck it with his staﬂ -to the mortiﬁcation of Albert, annihilating the curious labor of thirty. years.” ‘ It seems that poets and poetry were imuch under the ban of ignorance in ye ancient days,——and if Joaquin Miller’ had served them for an example there’ would not need be any wonder at it. Our book says‘: “They could not imagine a poet without supposing him to hold intercourse with some demon.” This sort of persecution of science and genius lasted tillthe close of the seventeenth century,” so the book says, and the list of its examples closes with this opinion from .Hallem: “ If the metaphysician stood‘ a chance of being burned’ as a heretic, the natural philosopher was not in less jeopardy as a magician.” Then follows alist of poor geniuses who lived in poverty and died inethe most abject want.’ But it seems to me a little like the assumption of ignorance to set it down that “persecution of science and genius ” ended with theseventeenthpcentury. The same inveterate and- intolerant spirit, born of egiotism and nursed in ignorance, is as rampant‘ in the nineteenth century as it ever was in the seventeenth or before; and if the priesthood had the same power the record would be as bloody and barbarous. The spirit enthroned in wisdom beyond the age suﬁers torments and tortures though the poor body escape ﬁre and poison. The superstitious ignorance and the grounded bigotry of the day will strip a gifted soul of all claim to decency and the “rights of man” for promulgating an unpalatable idea. The world seems doomed never to learn the lessons"of the past; its course seems destined over burning plowshares, trodden by the blistered feet of wisdom born before its time. It seems that all truth must ﬁght its disputed way; ﬁrst, through the indifference of the stupid; next, the ridicule of the vain and frivolous, and lastly, through the persecution of the bigoted and powerful. . ‘ ' r A , And the great social truth which took the ‘form of a social‘ earthquake has gone through each stage until it‘ has at last "reached popular recognition." Truth travels faster than before- we had the much ridiculed railroads and telegraphs to help it on its eternal course. What if the priests had had the power to suppress Fulton what in his judgment. were not ﬁt for the world to know.” .blind and fanatic persistence in popular errors, aided by the cﬂiciousness of some small-souled Comstock more gifted with periments which any school boy performs with ease to-day.‘ .44,/" and Morse for apiairl of lunatics dangerous to the sway of their ignorant god, and to destroy their models as “ not ﬁt in their (the priest) sublime judgment for the world to know A anything about ? W,el_l,.we should only have had tohwait a little longer for. the facts that steam and electricity could be utilized; for the womb of time was pregnant with the truth, and no stupid edict against nature could murder it in embryo, becausethe conception was immaculate. A , J " It is just dawning into the minds of advanced thinkers that there‘ hasbeen a Woful mistakemade in'regard to the human 'bodyj'a‘nd it functions. Never was the world more grounded in an error; never was the task of luprooting falsehood fraught with greater peril, in a temporal sense, to the soul that wider- .'took it with a “noble perception of its own geni_us;” never was persecution more rampant, merciless and insatiable, yet neverwas truth clearer to the sense of her votariesr;_V never was the "way of ‘her logical development better paved; with ~9testim‘ony, and never did truth travel so far and so fast in so short‘ a space. indeed shall the stone that was rejected of the builders become the crowning glory of the temple. ‘ The evo- lution of the truth that the human body is “ God’s holy tem- ple,” which men and women have been desecrating for ages, isdestined‘to work a new era in the annals of the world; for once substitute reverence for contempt, puriﬁcation will begin to "take ‘the place of pollution. When we do come to T a sense of the sacredness of ourselves the worship will indeed be in spirit and in truth; for there will be no scapegoat, no vicarious atonement. no outside temple made with hands where we go each seventh day to put on a. vain-show of holi- ness and give up the temple not made with hands to the domain of death—dealing lust the other six . Itis not too much to hope that all who" have learned of truth to the reverencing of their bodies will live to see‘ the travail of their souls and be satisﬁed. HELEN NASH. MOODY AND SANKEY-—WHAT ARE THEY? A BY A FREE-RELIGIONIST. A thinker, who builds a frame for his facts before he has discovered them, is a dangerous man. The world has had many such, and incalculable injury has been the result. Thus human slavery, that master—piece of iniquity, was made to ﬁt most admirably into the scheme of general salvation and dubbed a _“' divine institution.” Thus the curse placed upon woman, and the position of virtual servitude assigned her, have been merciless drags upon the growth of her mental and moral capacities. And such a terrible grip has this assump- tion of “divine wrath” so-called, upon the intelligence of the age—that even now we hesitateto acknowledge woman capable of the most ordinary civic duties, or_ entitled to a voice in forming the laws that‘ control her life, liberty,,and pursuit of happiness. . ‘ At present in our city we are having an exempliﬁcation of thehludicrous inconsistenciesthat result fromiour trying to force the facts of to-day into the frames of yesterday. In school and college the student is taught that the laws of the universeprescribed by inﬁnite wisdom are inviolably ob- served, and that to ask the suspension of even the smallest of nature’s rules, would be at once impious and monstrous for it would be an impeachment of God himself, an accusa- tion that His bounty is not all sufficient. ‘ And yet these men stand”boldly forth and proclaim, that under certain con- ditions a. man suffering from tubercles on the lungs can be _made perfectly well and whole through the agency of a series of mental processes termed penitence, entreaty,1audation, etc. A village suﬂering from the scourge of intemperancee is promised relief by these keepers of the conscience of the Most -High by the same means. a A widow, whose only son has fallen into wicked ways, is told, that no matter what the causes of the young man’s moral obliquity may be, prayer, of itself and alone, is all potent to eﬁect his cure, and restore him to her arms as pure as on the day he ﬁrst saw light. With causes these men have nothing to do, It is the old, old story. In every age, in_every profession, such men come to the surface. Wfiat Mesmer was to the scienceof medi.. cine, these men are to the cause of “true religion.” And when we say “true religion,” we are willing to accept the deﬁnitioniof the founder of Christianity, Whose followers these Quixotic theologians proclaim themselves to be. The young Jewish teacher said, in answer to a certain lawyer: “Love God with all thy heart, soul and mind, and thy neighbor as th.yse1f;” hereupon “hang all the law and the prophets.” ‘ 2 in WOODHULL as cnsrmuss WEEKLY. Mar. 4, 1876. What this “love thy neighbor as thyself" means, we ﬁnd in another passage. “I was hungry, ye gave me meat; thirsty ye gave me drink; a stranger, ye took me in; naked, ye clothed me; sick, ye visited me; in prison, ye come unto me.” ~ . n l . Here we have a deﬁnition, rather bald and crude, but strik- ing withal. Lotus apply this standard to Messrs. Moody and Sankey and mark the result: ; , ' _, ' “Ye were hungry, we prayed for you; thirsty, we prayed for you; fa strand-ger,;we_ prayed for you; naked, we prayed for you ;”sick,_ we prayedfforr you; in prison, we prayed for you.’’’‘' , " , " 1, I . Children, playing with: 'lighte_d torches in a village of card- board houses,‘are not more to be dreaded than an ignorant man with an earnest fervid manner, for the world isalways impressed by earnestness and fervor; no matter how worth- less, how reprehensible the cause may be, converts are never lacking. Such a man is generally grossly ignorant, he ‘has'nt the faintest conception of physical" and psychical laws, he cares nothing for them, he is a law unto himself. If a physician, he carries his “speciﬁcs” in his vest pocket; if a lawyer, his office and library in. his hat; if ._ a preacher, he puts forth ‘ noise for argument and “howling dervish” manners for the “fervor of the spirit.”_ To such a man religion and emotion are synonymou’s.termS.. and‘. hysteria is the working‘-of the‘ Holy Ghost. A momentary attack of contrition is pro- nounced a descent of the spirit. The veriest rogue who has‘ preyerl upon society for years is] led ‘ to believe that his con-. version may be wrought in an instant. In other words, that which has taken years to pull down may be built up in the s twinkling of an ‘eye. Here we are struck with the full. ' enormity of such’ a" doctrine. ‘Here we are run upon that de- testable quackerywhich ignores the law of causation, ignores the law of environment, ignores the law of hereditary descent and ignores the law of social forces.

While p_roba_b1ythey might be induced to admit that theyare conscious of the existence of law and order_ in the physical world, yet in the domain of the mental and moral, they perceive naught but chaos, out of which it is.im- _ possible for the individual to bring light and life, except by the direct interposition of a supernatural force. And here it is exactly that such teachers become extremely dangerous.’ While willing to admit that nature’s mills grind slowly. that she requires much of time and effort to restore the broken tissue, yet with the madness of the deductive rmethod, they urge that the moral plague, the mental ulcer, may be-cured in ictu oculi. Here they cease to be harmless agitators and become distillers of a poison which they cun- ningly administer in such disguised form, as to delight whno it destroys. . Suppose a man who has stolen his neighbor’s coat, upon being asked to plead at the Court of Sessions, should rise and thus address the judge: “If your honor please, I did steal this man’s coat, but I have repented; I have told God of this false step. He has pardoned me and directed me to do so no more. I therefore ‘move that you discharge me.” , Or suppose the cashier ofa bank, detected in the act of em- bezzlement, shculd thus address the president: “True. I have committed this crime; but, sir, you see my tears, you hear my lamentations, my repentance is sincere. I feel that God has balanced the account in the Great Ledger of the re- cording ange1’s department. I therefore ask that you rein. state me and give me your entire conﬁdence.” What think you would be the reply which these worthies would receive? It would be simple, terrible. just; it would be this: “Con- trition, Probation, Reparation.” To return tothe discussion of these menthemselves. Sup- pose Howard instead of v-isiting the “bridewells, houses of correction, city and town jails” had stayed at home to pray, what reform would he have accomplished in English prison system? Suppose l/Vilberforce, instead of ﬁghting‘ slavery as he did, had gone about singing anti~slavery songs invlpulpits and on platforms, would he have fulﬁlled his glorious mission? r V A And the same question ‘may be askedof all the workers ' and helpers in the domain of true religion-——love God and man——from Buddha to John Brown. It is vain for these prayerful men to assert that no such ﬁeld of activity is ready for them. Let them turn their eyes from withinwto without. ~ While they are engaged intakin g God to task for His lack of mercy, the hungry,.the thirsty, the stranger, the naked, the sick, the imprisoned are calling unto them. Mr. Bergh has provided for the proper transportation of animals, but the horrors of the prison—vain and chain—gang still remain. Our penal laws and our prison system have come down to us from days of blood and revenge. The church dares not attack prostitution. In the temple, public conveyance, and public hall the whites still call out to the blacks: “ Holier than ‘ye i” Work degrades woman, where it should ennoble her. But enough. Why add . to the list? Men are willing to suffer martyrdom nowadays, provided they be allowed to carry a change of linen, comb, brush, etc. to prison with them. It is a shame that people should allow idle curiosity to give even a quasi—endorsement to this latter-day gospel of gush and snivel. . I » A We have no difficulty, in view of the facts, in framing an answer to the interrogatory placed at the head of this article. And in doing so, be it well understood, we set nothing down in the spirit of lampooner or satirist; but in sorrow rather than -in anger, in pity rather than in censure, with a pen _ moist with the warm milk of humanity, rather than dripping with the gallof cold indifference, we arrive at these conclu- sions: - 7 * r ' 1. In that these men, by their teachings, raise the emotional element of religion to such undue prominence as to leadmany ‘sell her maternallfunctions out of her control? ‘our marriage laws are wrong, and open the gates to many people to believe that, by earnest prayer, God may be induced to decree the release of man’s responsibility to fellow-man, they dispense a dangerous poison, the more dangerous from its sweetness to a disordered moral taste. -2. In that these men, either through an ignorance of i“causes,”, or from a moral cowardice to attack them, treat “ effects T’ only, and doctor the “symptoms” and not the .""’disease,’»’ they are simply religious charlatans. ,3. Inthat these men proclaim the existence of a Court of 'Heavenly.Justice, always in session, but whose judgments are based upon the statementof only one party, they bring “human law into’ contempt, they weaken the hold that man has upon his fellow-man, they rob remorse of its sting, they ‘open up a new road into the territory of crime by pointing out a safe . and pleasant retreat; in .a word, if they were not honestly in ‘error and had not their fervor and zeal to com- mend them, they would be prosecuted as enemies of law and order, and corrupters of the public‘ conscience. 4.. In that these men proclaim themselves the disciples of the Founder of Christianity,.but, unlike Him, have no power to do good or show miracles—except it be the strength of their tongues-they have no claim to our respect, and are alone saved from our contempt by the reflection that the cul- tured 'thought of’ the age will soon render such exhibitions "impossible.

A NEW CLASS OF CRIMI-NALS. BY WARREN CHASE. Crimes are settled among civilized nations by statute law, determined by the nature and effect of the act. and its hear- ing on the party and the public.’ The criminal code of the Christian Church differs somewhat from the legal code, as in the former there are many criminal acts not recognized as such by law, such as taking the name of God in vain, or pro- fane swearing, except when used in preaching and praying, when it is no crime to take it in vain as all praying christians do. Drunkenness and lizeing are also crimes in the code of most churches, and in the Roman church (the mother of the whole brood), coition is always‘ a crime, when not permitted by its priests in their marriage contract, and hence all legal and protestant marriages are void, as God does not put them together, and their intercourse is criminal in the sight of God and the holy church. But we are not after the criminal code of the church in this article, but the law of our protes- tant and inﬁdelstatesmen. It is universally conceded, that murder, except in war, in self-defence, and by law, is a crime of the deepest die; hence suicide is always considered a crime, even though we cannot punish the perpetrator. Arson is next, and _this crime is the same in nature if the person sets ﬁre to his own building, as if he set ﬁre to his neighbor's, although the law might deal more leniently with the criminal. Rape is the next, and as we have often as- serted, ought to be the same when it is committed on a wife,’ as when committed on any other woman; but as we shall see, here steps in. another crime to justify this. Piracy is a crime, and slave—stea1ing is piracy; yet civilized men go,into Africa. and coax, allure, deceive, and entice the innocent and ignorant natives into their power, and "then secure and sell them for slaves; then {they are owned by the purchaser. Where slavery is a crime, as in this country, no person can any ,more sell himself or herself, except by special ,law, than he or she can a child, a neighbor, or a stolen African. If it is a crime to sell and make a slave of a child or neighbor, or a stolen African, it is equally so to make a slave orvproperty, which is the ame thing, of one’s self; and yet, by law, every wife is the property of her hus— band; hence the horrible crime of rape on her person is no crime in law, because she is,-in law, no person, but only property, and with only some especial laws for her protection, the same as there are for horses which the owner has no legal right to pound to _death_yvith_clu.b,s,.n . Now, as in most cases the wife is coaxed, enticed, deceived and allured into the mentalapower of the male, and then, for various considera- tions, induced to sanction the sale of herself in the presence of some person authorized to "legalize the sale, is she, or is she not, aoriminal, if slavery be a crime? It must be re- membered that the thousands of happy unions and mutual companionships that exist under the law have nothing to do -with this question, as our laws should be made for those who need protection from them, and not for those who have no need of them. As these happy unions are not made so by law, but by love, which is above the law, over which the law has really no control, they would be just as happy, as good and as true without as with it. This brings us to the bottom rock of this question: Has a person a right to sell herself, body and soul, into slavery—slavery for life——and to If not, then wrongs which are crying daily for redress, while the church and State, backed up by every libertine and real slave owner in the land, are calling out in holy horror at the horrible doc- trine of social freedom which alone can rescue us from the evil and the suffering from this terrible doom. FREE LOVE. An Arizona wife begged the court not to punish her hus- band for the crime of bigamy, of which he was convicted. “ He loved me once, and was kind,” said she, with the tears running in streams down her face, “ and when I go away to my lonely home it would be my only earthly comfort to know that he was free" to seek for happiness if he can ﬁnd it any» where in the world.” When sentence was pronounced the stricken woman fell on her knees before her husband, and, placing her hands upon his arms, asked him to forgive her if she had ever done anything to chill his love for her, and to kiss her just as he would a dead wife whom he loved. The wretched man seemed entirely overcome by these appeals and his own fate, and grasping her in his arms, kissed her over and over again, and when the omcers drew him away she sank fainting to the floor. We commend the above extract to the editors of the many papers in which it has appeared, as an illustration of free love—a love that exists to bless and not merely to possess its object. Beside such love as this, the other kind is hatred. If people will not or cannot understand what we mean by free love, let them take the above Arizona wife as our argu- ,ment ; she not only was free to love, but she gave the object of her love the same freedom. INTELLUCENE AGAIN. . Srnunux, HURON Co., Ohio, Jan. 6, 1876. Editors Wealth/—~Desiring more-knowledge of the “Phil- osophy of Intelligence” the first thing to be considered is intelligence, for “ without this we can do nothing,” and our philosopher tells us that it is an idea, and that ideas are formed of a substance called intellucine, but whatintellucine is, further than that it is a substance, he does not inform us, nor how he knows that it exists, and that the earth is sur~ rounded with it, nor how he knows that it is subject to the like or analagous laws that pertain to other matter—,—all of which are matters necessary to be understood before one can form an intelligent opinion of the character of his proposi- tions. A few inquiries and remarks may serve to bring to light what seems now rather obscure. How does he know that in- tellucine exists, and that it is a substance and surrounding our earth like its atmosphere, and especially how does he know that thoughts are formed of it ? Has he ever detected and secured any of it and subjected it to chemical analysis to ascertain this and to sustain his assumptions? Of course if thoughts are formed out of this substance now, it must be reasonable to suppose that they always were so formed, and consequently that substance existed before thought, and that thought could not even havebeen coeval therewith. And just. here will our philosopher instruct us how intellucene formed itself into thought, and how the organism that ap- propriated or appropriates it for the formation of its mind, came to exist without mind intelligence? The individual mind could not have existed until the organism existed that appropriates it for its formation; and we would like to know (for we are naturally of an inquiring mind, especially regard- ing the mysteries of God and His creation) how thought could have a representative form of substance until a thought existed needing such representation? But the greatest of all this kind of mysteries that most needs solution is how intellucene, of which all thoughts are made, if any, does act per se in the same intellusic atmos- phere, in and through similar organisms, side by side, in the formation of thoughts in one that is so diametrically op- posed by the thoughts of the other. We are not unaware that diﬂ'erences in theconstruotion of organisms imply the mani- festation of diﬁerent operations and eﬁects, but that the two suggested should so sharply antagonize, and with apparent design, when, according to our philosopher, there could have been none, is not easy of understanding. The only way to account for this is, it seems to me, that old mother nature (matter, Itake it, is naturejorganized or unorganized) is an in- telligent old hussy per se, and having no intelligence to guide her, as a matter of course, could not do otherwise with her eﬂorts than to construct the unintelligent and varied mass of organisms, withall of their idiosyncraoies and contradic- tory and conflicting manifestations that we now witness, not- withstanding the boastful claim made in her behalf by her scientiﬁc endorsers. V V _r These remarks, with the connected querries, are deemed suﬂicient to draw from our philosopher such explanations as gratefully received, at least by his and your Humble servant, H. A; C. S.

Woodhull and Claﬁinﬂs Weekly, Greeting: As an earnest worker for political, social, and a thorough general reform, I desire to announce through your columns that Inam anxious to make the acquaintance of, and co—oper- ate (as far as possible) with, all persons» who are ripe for practical peaceful reform. Great amelioration of the suffer- ings that will attend the coming conflict, can be secured by the wise and determined union and co-operation of energetic working people. The gloomy wonder now is, how must we proceed to obtain support, and compel Government to pro- ? mote human safety and happiness. I offer my opinion of the true mode of organization: Small societies or divisions of people must enact‘ their own neighborhood laws, and select and install their own delegates to frame rules for more ex~ tended association with mankind. For further explanation I inclcse a copy of a petition now before the Utah Legislature on primary organizations, hoping that it may be extensively, studied and commented upon, so that by some means we may arrive at a true knowledge of organic union, peace and good will.

Mr. Oliver Johnson, then an associate editor of Mr. Beecher’s on the Christian Union, at the scandal trial was called as a witnes for the accused pastor. Mr. Johnson testi- ﬁed to very little of importance, the main part of his evi- dence being directed to _the matter of Mr. Tilton’s alleged _ immoralities, on account of which, according to Mr. Johnson, Mr. Bowen dismissed ‘him from the Independent. Mr. Johnson gave no testimony touching his knowledge of Mr. Beecher’s immoralities, regarding which thepublic then. had and now has so great concern. But the form of action brought against Mr. Beecher enabled his counsel to befog the issue with inquiries as to Mr. Ti1ton’s moral behavior, and they did not fail to avail themselves of the opportuni- ty to help their client with the jury by efforts to macken the reputation of his accuser as something not to be damaged by a seducer who should enter his own household. What Mr. Johnson failed to tell in court regarding his knowledge of Mr. Beecher's immoralities, about which he seems not to have cared to speak, since he was in the employ of the accused pastor, the subjoined letter, which ﬁve years ago he wrote to Mr. Bowen in Mr. Tilton’s behalf, very emphatically says: “ [Private and Confidential.] “128 EAST TWELETH STREET Jan. 7, 1871. “ MR. H. C. BowEN—My dear sir: It is stated in various newspapers, and conﬁrmed by public rumor, that you have expelled Mr. Tllton from the editorship of the Unibn. At ﬁrst I stubbornly refused to believe these reports ' but after hearing them from so many quarters. I begin to,think they must be true. The statement is also passing from lip to lip that you refuse to fulﬁl the the pecuniary Obligation assumed in your contract with Mr. Tllton, assigning as the reason for so doing your conviction that he is an immoral man &c. I have neither seen Mr. Tilton, nor had any communication with him for more than a week, and in writing you this letter I act without his knowledge, and in simple obedience to my own sense of duty as his friend and yours. “ At the close of the interview at your house on Christmas day, I understood you to pledge your word that you would do nothing respecting Mr. Tilton——would take no step in the matter»-without consulting me. On this point I am sure I cannot be mistaken. If, therefore, you have done to Mr. Tilton what you are reported to have done, have you not broken your promise ? Certainty you have not consulted me on the subject since that day, except so far as to inform me that you had heard fresh reports putting matters in’ a Worse light. I was expecting. from day ‘to day, that you would seek my advice; and therefore when the newspapers re- ported that you had summarily dismissed Mr. T. from the Union, I contradicted the story among my friends, believing‘ that it could not possibly be true. . , - “In this matter 1 claim no right beyond those which you voluntarily, and without any solicitation on my part-,conferred- upon me. You took me into your conﬁdence, and I have neverisought, even by inquiry or a hint, to elicit from you anything beyond what you deliberately chose to communi- cate.

Oi course, I understand you to be acting up- on the belief, no doubt sincerely entertained, that Mr. Til- ton is guilty of the charges made against him.

If you would give the one a chance to recover himself, why not be equally forbear- ing to the other? This Lhsay on the assumption that Mr. T. is guilty; but I do not myself believe that he is half as guil- ty as you suppose. In short I know. that some of the stories told against him are false, and that malignant persons are on his track, with the intention of hounding him down: and I thinkvyou have been, to some extent, the victim of theirvmae chinaticns. A no you not remember saying to me that in all you might It seems to me that you should not ‘ do in this case, you would be governed by a desire to spare T. from exposure, and to give him a chance ‘to recover him- self if he was wrong? And yet I hear people say, on your alleged authority, that heis so bad a man that you can have nothing to do with him.

Your hardness repelled him——perhaps drove. him to concealments as unwise for himself as embarrassing to you.

But Mr. Johnson did it, and threw his inﬂuence on the side of his employer. Know- ing Mr. Beecher to be an adulterer of manifold offences, he went on the witness stand in his behalf, to try to shield him an oath in order to cast reproach on the accuser whom he to help to ward off righteous punishment from this last. In so acting Mr. Johnson has not been alone. Prof. Moses Coit Tyler is informed regarding the bottom facts, but he does not come forward with the testimony, and Mr. him tohbe an adulterer and a perj urer, a cruel assailant of his friends, and a man who is seeking to regain his foothold in the church and in society by trampling on those he has in- jured. no means made up when the case of,Mrs. Tilton is stated, points of Congregational order raised by Henry Ward Beecher and his wily attorney, Brother Shearman.

' There can be no doubt’ that the nearer one comes to eat- ~ ‘ing foodin its natural state, the nearer such an one will come to living normally. We have only to observe the diiference betweenthe habits of man and those of the animals to learn this. ‘Were animals to live after the habits of man, they would soonlbe. cursed with all his weaknesses, sicknesses and early death. Animals live naturally to certain ages, so seldom‘ dying. ‘before that age, that it may be said that they have anallotted period of life. But among the young this difference is‘ tobe marked most distinctly. The most fatal period of life among the young of man isfrom birth to the ﬁfth year. In that period nearly one-half the children, bo‘rn_‘of.what ought to be the most enlightened parentage, die. Nothing like this is found among the ‘young of any species_'of animals below man. The reason is obvious. Animals live normally; live in accordance with the laws by which they are related to nature, and their young are born normally, wlthout any inherited tamts, and, living nor- mally after birth, suffer none of the evils that children suffer. . . A r . n The fatality among children exists because they are.con- ceived in wrong conditions, and are generated and born under abnormal’ inﬂuenoes;'a.nd are then nurtured and “fed in a manner that the feeble resistance which their immature being theleast affected by the unnatural inﬂuencesof which we speak, come to a more positive existence, andresist the destructive inﬂuences with more success. In the period from ﬁve to ﬁfteen, save fijom contagious diseases, a very small percentage of 'childre‘n die. ;,This period is, however, followed by a fatal one, caused by the inability to resist the effects of the abnormally gdeveloped passions that in the meantime make their appeairance. But we do not intend to go into this here. . i The young of animals die so seldom that it may be said that none die from disease. Has this no meaning which man should understand? Why should one-half the young of ' the highest order of animals die immature, while all the young of the lower order live to mature? There can be but two reasons; ﬁrst: By reason of the physical taints inherited from their parents; and, second: {By reason of improper food‘ and care. Think of it, mothersl. One-half of all children bprn, dying before attaining the age of ﬁve years? Can it be anything less than murder that such a fact is true——murder by reason of your ignorance, and your faults of life and care for those to whom you have given life? It is a most terrible, but a most true indictment. In the eyes of the law thousands of mothers are as guilty of man-, slaughter, as is he who, through carelessness, causes the death of another. ,~‘Among the causes of!‘ early death and almost constant suffering during life, one of the chief is, no doubt, that of , improper diet.‘ If man lived as normally as the beasts, it would be ‘fair to conclude that he would be as healthy. One of the two most marked distinctions between the life of man and the animals is in diet. And examples are not wanting to prove that as the diet of people approaches nearest to eating natural food, the better is the degree of health enjoyed. Natural food is that which, when eaten, has all the life principles still within it that can be retained and be prepared for food. In preparing meats for food, the ﬁrst thing is to drain it of its blood, the very central force of life. Onereason that ﬁsh is a superior diet to ﬂesh is that it does not lose this life. But ﬁsh is not atall equal to fruits and grains, because the spirit life of the ﬁsh goes out when it dies, while it remains in fruit and grains and is taken with their substances into the system. What we mean by this may be illustrated by butchers who stand over the animals they kill and inhale their departing life. They are seidom large eaters, nevertheless, as a class, they are always ﬂeshy andhealthy. If instead of the meat of animals, the life of the meat could be secured, that would be a life-giving element. - All kinds of cooked foods, which in cooking lose any "of the vital life-force, are inferior as diet to that which is uncooked.’.;§t Indeed it, is almost certain that cooked food is second best to that which is uncooked. I We believe that the time will come when all cooked food will be discarded. V , . Of course to make a change from present diet to one of fruits and grains, requires some faith that it will be bene- ﬁcial, because a system, long accustomed to abnormal things, will suifer if a change from them be made, and if persisted ‘ in, will in most instances cause a loss of ﬂesh; perhaps, at ﬁrst, of strength and of ability tolabor. It is like a drunkard leaving liquor. One who has drank to drunkenness for years will have delirum tremens, lf he cease too suddenly; and the same is true in less degrees of all use of intoxicating drinks. To eat or drink nothing of which the want is felt, if it be dropped‘, is a safe rule to follow, and this will ex- clude, almost at the head of the list, the most common articles of diet. Tea or coﬁee‘ is used by the great majority of people. With many they are so necessary that they can- not attend to their accustomed duties without them. ’ The habit of drinking strong coffee for breakfast will in time produce an abnormal appetite for it, and such an eﬁect upon the system, that if it be discontinued, severe headache will ensue. It haslong been a question with us, whether his a;dnpt_thin sense as emhlematie or eat future earls bodies can oppose to external inﬂuence, cannot overcome; , hence they yield and die. After ﬁve years, those who live, V the aggregate of the ill eﬁects of tea and coffee drinking,vvas, drinks. In an individual case, the latter may be more deleterious; but as the number of those who use the former ' is so much larger than that of those who use the latter, the l total evil may be even greater. Nothing should ever be taken into the stomach, either as food or drink, that does not go directly to supply depletion; that does not assimilate " with the ﬂuids, tissues and solids of the body. The body does not require stimulation or narcotization; it simply needs alimentation. ' - . ‘Conﬁrmed habits of diet will undoubtedly prove one of the hardest barriers to overcome, in the search for eternal life. But the value which we place upon overcoming them, may b.e imagined when we say that, given parents who have lived perfectly in accordance with nature for, say, ﬁve years, who shall then bear children who shall live on natural food, they will develop into the conditions in which eternal life is found without difficulty. While, on the contrary, those who live abnormally, in diet and in their relations to the other sex, will‘ struggle many a day and fail at last to attain to that condition. We have said all along that the truth is a fearful .thing for those to have who are slaves to any habits that are opposed to it. And we want all our readers to take this to mean the most that it can be made to mean, before deciding that they want the truth that we have got to offer them. v ' mung ﬁorwr , THE TRANSIT FROM LUST TO LOVE. There. are many evidences, still existing and constantly coming to light, that even the first principles of love, are not yet understood by those who have seemed to think and study upon the subject most. Because both thesepowers ﬁnd their physical manifestations in the same way, thou- sands have confounded one with the other; generally mis taking the former for -the latter, but sometimes the latter for the former. For these reasons the term free love to most people means free lust, just as if such a contradiction were possible. Thevonly logical way to contrast these terms is to make the latter the antipodes of the former, as well in the expletive as in the substantive. Enforced lust is the opposite of free love. Neither of these expletive words, however, are at all necessary, since love is always free; while lust, exempliﬁed in action, is always enforced or gained by some means that are widely apart from love. But this will be better understood if the factors of sex- love be analyzed, Accepting love as a sentiment expressed in action, it is composed of two factors, passion and desire; the former positive and masculine, and the latter negative and feminine. Passion may exist unexpressed, and so long as it does, it is simply a positive power in readiness to be called into action; but when it comes into the inﬂuence of desire, then the law of unity, or the focalization of the two poles of the human battery, are indicated and it -may follow and produce harmonious results. But whenfpassion ex- presses itself regardless of, the attractive power of desire, it is like to the bursting of a shell, the explosion of a. maga- zine of powder, or any other simply destructive process; while passion answering to desire is like the conﬂuence of two rivers running in the same direction—-they unite and increase the volume of power that flows onward to the great ocean of life. _ This may bejillustrated, perhaps, still more forcibly by the electric telegraph. The positive pole of the battery is always charged and in readiness to comply with any de- mands that may be made upon it, but it never projects its power forward into space or upon any object. And when it is brought into communication with a negatively po- larized battery, it goes forward over the wire by virtue of the draft, the demand that is made upon it; i. e., it is drawn ‘ to the other extremity of the connection. Now, in this simple electrical problem there is a truth locked up, which I would beneﬁt the world immeasurably if it should search after and ﬁnd it and adopt it as the rule of life. The same law is, however, exempliﬁed under other processes of nature. The positive elements, in whatever department, when they act harmoniously and constructively, and not lawlcssly and destructively, move when attracted but not before; go where they are drawn, never elsewhere. All processes of recupera- tion and growth are evidences of this law. Recuperative and building-up powers, which are always positive, move to their places and take up their ‘association by reason of at- traction and not of propulsion. , If this law were rigidly observed in the relations of the sexes, all the ills that now grow out of them would cease. The propulsion of passion, when a.nd where it is not at- tracted by desire, is always lustful, is always selﬁsh, one- sided, destructive and death-dealing both to its subject and object. There is little doubt that muchthe larger propor- tion d of commerce that obtains under cover of marriage is of this kind. . , And this large proportion of death-dealing commerce, is largely increased by another variety-——that which is carried on in utter ignorance of all the laws which ought to govern it and be fully understood. We refer now to that class of cases where passion and desire are both present, but where from inadaptation, ignorance, selﬁshness, thoughtlessness, or any other preventing cause, the former expends itself without having reached and ﬁlled the demands of the latter. Of all classes of commerce this is the most destructive, be- cause it not only has all the elements of evil to the positive side of the issue. that are possible of simple propulsive net greater than that seeming none the use elf stronger, passion, but it also destrogys the healthy tone at the opposite ’. i- ..- . -1.‘ ., .... _.. ,~.-.._._......._.-... ‘ﬁx. ,....~=-5-1 .» ll‘ t .,_ .43 _.._ ll l 5 mi, Mar. 4-, 1876. WOODHULL &cr.A_rI.1N's wnnxtr. I - d "5 side, by first raising it to an intense pitch of expectancy only to let it fall into the cold abyss of disappointment. Highly wrought nervous diseases of females arise almost wholly from this cause. , But while the ultimate expression of love is centered in the physical organization of the sexes, it by no means fol- lows_that all there is of love is of the physical, although this may be perfect in itself, without the complementing benedictions of the other departments of love. Passion and desire that meet wholly on the physical plane are sub- ject to change; to satiety; to becoming repellant to each other, and consequently they seek new associations. Those who are on this plane are on a level with the animals whose commerce is governed wholly by physical passion. and desire. But the love divine is something quite" different from this. Man is a three-fold being; he is ﬁrst, physical; second, emotional; and third, spiritual; he is a.three-fold battery giving off emanations from the brain, the heart and the generative system. He lives in an atmosphere made up of these three emanations, and when he comes into the sphere of one of the opposite sex who also has the counter- parting atmosphere, these different emanations meet and mingle or else repel each other. Thus men and women may meet and the former be strongly attracted by either one, some two or all three of these emanations, or be equally repelled; or be attracted by one and repelled by the others. Almost everybody has experienced this. There are fre- 'quently strong attachments between individuals of the opposite sexes, spiritually and emotionally, where physical attraction is wholly lacking; and sometimes, strong physi- cal attractions, where otherwise there is equally strong repulsion. The understanding of these laws would carry people along way toward a proper arrangement of their social relations. ' A purely physical love, as we said, is open to constant change and is never satisﬁed long at a time; physical and emotional love combined ensure more permanent unions; but it is only where there is a complete union of the three phases of love that permanency is to be anticipated or de- sired. The attempt to compel the incompatible emanations of the sexes to blend together into continuous and harmoni- ous lives, is thebeginning of all the discords and inhar— monies of life, and is also the fruitful cause of disease and death, because it is the condition in which lust develops and expends itself. Viewed in the religious sense, love and lust may be illus- trated by curses and prayers. Cursing and swearing are the efforts of the individual to impress himself, (ego,) upon others, while prayer is the sweet incense of the soul that , reaches out to ﬁnd its Creator. So with lust. It vents it- self without care for man or God; it regards only self, it is self, personiﬁed; the utter cutting off of self from all about it, and wrapping it in its own mantle regardless of whom it falls upon or injures; but love is the offering of the soul which seeks a perfect resting place; gently, sweetly, per- haps ardently, but never rudely. It approaches its object with reverence and gratitude as well as love. Indeed the highest love isablendiug of all the attributes of human nature, seeking to be at-one with their Creator; seeking for divinity and ﬁnding it, if it meet response. To love perfectly is to love divinely; andto love divinely is to learn of God, for God is perfect love, which casteth out fear. The solution of the difﬁcult problem of the relations of the sexes then, is to be found in the understanding of the laws of temperamental attraction and repulsion, which are the laws of God, and not in the enforcement of a written law, which is the work of man. God made the law that is writ- ten in the heart and in the understanding; and mans’ attempts to improve upon it have ever been, and will ever be, failures. . -* ‘ Or——-4- HE, SHE, OR IT. We have received. several letters from "our friends criti- cizing the use that we make of the term God, or rather in the use of the personal pronoun, He, referring to A God.’ We do not wonder that objections are made to the practice from which the tyranny over women has arisen. It is true that all the religions of the world, save the Catholic, have been male religions only. But we have deﬁned_ our use. of the word God so deﬁnitely, that the objections that might‘ apply, if we had not done so, do not apply in our case. If the world use a term contrary to its true signiﬁcance, and out of its natural relations,'it should not be a valid objection against its proper use by the few. This was the objection that both Mr. Tilton and Mr. Beecher raised against the use of the term “ free love ” to designate free- dom for the aﬁections. But we did not see the force of these arguments, and have wrested the n'1uch~abused words from the mob by whom they were held to stand for en- forced lust, and enshrined them in the hearts of the pure’ and good, as representative of all that is holy in the re- lations of the sexes. , The male and female principles are everywhere distin- guished respectively by the personal pronouns, he, she, his and her’s, him and her; and also as thepositive and nega- tive. poles of the creative battery. The positive power which permeates and works through matter is the male 7 principle, and is, therefore, properly designated by the male pronouns. The negative substance which is worked upon, and through which all creation is externalized, is is the earth; and is properly designated by the ishe discovered that the climate unpleasantly affected her female pronouns. It certainly would not be correct to use the neuter pronoun, it, to speak of either, because it would not convey the truth. i The creative power is the male principle. It is this which impregnates and makes fruitful; that which is impregnated and bears the fruit is the receptive or the negative principle, and this is feminine, always. These, then, wherever they are found, whether in the divisions or in the whole of natural existence, are designated. properly by the personallpronouns. The pro- noun, it, can be used properly only when it refers to some- thing that in and of itself has no gender, is neither a male or female.‘ This certainly could not be used properly to refer to God or matter. As there are no other words which can be used, we think it eminently proper to use he, his and him in the place of God; and her, her’s and her in the place of the earth. God stands related to matter, as a whole, in the same way that man stands related to woman as a sex ; or, as thte_individual man to the individual woman. The difficulty is not with God, but with ‘man. Man has subjugated woman, and refusesor neglects to set her free. Womeii, as well as these men who recognize the wrongs of woman, feeling this, rebel against the application to God of the pronoun which represents her master; but the rebellion should be against the master; against the position which she is forced to occupy by man, rather than against the creating power of the universe. God is male; the earth is female. He impregnates the earth with life; and she is impregnated and bears her fruit to Him. _ 4.; A .w* wr—~ FROM TIIE. EDITOR-IN-CHIEF.

This book of 400 pages is a laborious and exhaustive effort to utterly destroy the pretensions that the four Gospels of the New Testament were written by the disciples of Jesus, and to prove that they were concocted by the churchmen of the .second,century. It claims that St. Mat- thew’s Gospel was written by some ignorant person, while “ Ireneus ” remodelled it and wrote ‘the other three to cor- roborate it and to support the fraud. It claims thatthe Old Testament contains all the material necessary out of which, in the hands of a shrewd designing priesthood, to manufacture a new Bible to suit a new dispensation. Peru it, woulddevelop a more complete success than it now appears to be. In any event it evinces great research and careful study; but we should say, study pursued to ﬁnd who are interested in this, either pro or con., cannot fail to ﬁnd this a deeply interesting book.

VVOODHULL IN THE FIELD. COMMENTS or THE PRESS. (From the Memphis, Temv.,rAppeaZ, Feb. 8,-1876.) On Sunday night one of the largest and most thoroughly, representative audiences ever gathered in the Theatre, in- cluding, perhaps, one hundred ladies, assembled to hear the first lecture delivered in Memphis by -Mrs. Victoria 0. Woodhull. By eight o’clock, at which hour thecurtain was . raised punctually according to programme, every seat was occupied. Scanning the auditorium the reporter of the Appeal saw that the bench and the bar, the press and the medical profession, as well as the mercantile, the mechanical and the laboring classes, were fully and ably represented, and that the faces of all present indicated, especially after the fair lecturess made her appearance, a very tension of in- terest. Mrs. Woodhull entered upon the work before her withoutjntroduction or preliminary, indeed,almost abruptly. This, however, was pardonable in view of the visible effect her apearance worked, and when itis remembered that she had hardly opened her mouth to speak ere her mastery, so to speak, was confessed. Her toilet was plain, but rich and be- coming. Her dress, composed of brown velvet and brown silk, was made up in, the latest style of pull-back, and pro- perly trimmed, relieved only by linen collar and cuffs, the absence of jewelry being conspicuous. Her hair was put up in the plain “club” style of the day, and altogether she pre- sented a quiet, decorous, lady-like appearance. At ﬁrst her words came slowly, deliberately, indeed nervously; but once fairly launched upon her theme, the flow of ideas and words was steady and rapid, both occasionally/merging into periods as startling as eloquent and beautiful as any ever delivered by the best orators of our language. At times she reached the loftiest ﬂight of forensic effort and roused her audience from the repose of a death-like stillness to most enthusiastic applause. Every point she made was caught by the audience and, as our reporter has indicated, was greeted as it deserved._ Five or six times this applause was delivered with unusual fervor,and with an enthusiasm that surprised even those most favorably inclined toward the lecturer who so nobly contended for her sex, and at the close, when after what seemed vain efforts on her part to take her leave, she ﬁnally bade adieu, the most deafening and prolonged shouts recalled her again and again to receive the warm and generous plaudits of those who had listened with pleasure and proﬁt to one of the most logical and able lectures ever delivered in Memphis upon any subject—if not the ablest. She answered every call until at last, breaking throug hall form and ceremony hundreds, both old and young, stepped upon the stage and personally con- gratulated her upon her success, each one giving assurances of satisfaction and gratiﬁcation. Among these were many ladies, and most conspicuous of all were the young men-— gentlemen of position and culture—-some of whom failing of opportunity on the stage, followed her to the hotel, and through the media of ordinary introduction expressed to her the most unbounded gratitude for the instruction she had given them. ‘One such embassy we ourselves witnessed, and confess it not the least of the delightful surprises the evening produced for Mrs. Woodhull. Hundreds of her portraits and pamphlet copies of her lectures were eagerly purchased, and the audience evidenced in every way possible a most respect- ful consideration for this woman whose heroism they gener- ously confessed. Of her lecture, a full report of which we append, there can be but one opinion: Every word of it is true, and the only difference there can be between our readers and the lecturer is as to the propriety of such plain talk upon questions so delicate and hitherto wrapped in the mystery of silence. Without committing ourselves as to that one way or the other, we give it as follows, as part of the absorbing news cs the day: [Here followed an almost verbatim report of theiwhole lecture] ‘ [From the Melnphis (’1‘eam.) Ledger, Feb. 7, 1876.] The fame of Mrs. Victoria C. Woodhull and the publication of her peculiar views on social science through the press of the city during the past few days brought together at the theatre last night a very large, respectable, intelligent and cultivated audience. In fact, the theatre was crowded to ex- cess, many ladies gracing the scene with their presence. At eight o’clock the drop curtain was rung up, and Mrs. Woodhull walked out from behind the scenes and approached the foot-lights amid no little sensation and encouraging ap- plause from all parts of the house. Mrs. Woodhull is a ﬁne, earnest-looking woman, possessing a ‘well-shaped. form, in- telligent face, acquiline nose, and expressive mouth. She was clad in a dark brown silk velvet dress, heavily. fringed with black lace; a small white collarcircled her throat; all jewelry was discarded; white linen cuffs, fastened withjet buttons, encircled her wrists. Her hair is dark brown,. cut short in front, and was destitute of crimps, but it was tied up. in folds or knots behind. She was dressed for a lecture, and gazing over the sea of faces, she commenced "her discourse, in a voice slightly tremulous and emotional, by reading from a Bible which she held in her hand: [Here follows a four columns report of the lecture, closing with a paragraph equally commendatory as that ‘of the Ap- epctl, but which we have lost.) (From the Avalanche, Memphis, Team, Feb. 8, 1876.) A EDITORIAL. ‘ Many ‘gentlemen and ladies who heard Mrs. Woodhull’s lecture at the Memphis Theatre Sunday night, were so well pleased that a petition was circulated yesterday, requesting her to repeat the lecture, and a number of signatures had been obtained before it was discovered that Mrs. Woodhull and Miss Claﬂin had left for Nashville on the early train. (From the Dispatch, K okomo, Ind., Feb. 3, 1876.) One of the largest and most highly educated lecture audi- ences of the season ﬁlled the Opera House, on last Friday evening, to hear Mrs. Victoria C. Woodhull deliver her cele- brated lecture, “ The True and the False, Socially.” It was noticeable that the audience was about equally composed of the male and female elements. Prejud_1ce and mock modesty, doubtless, deterred a few delectable individuals from enjoy- ing one of the very ablest lectures every delivered in this city. Promptly at eight o’olock Mrs. Woodhull stepped be- fore the foot-lights and began he_r lecture. For two hours shepoured hot shot into the shoddy rampants of a diseased and debauched moral and social fabric. As she progressed in her lecture her face flushed with inspiration and herwhole being was aglow with the enthusiasm and sentiment of her topic. She piled fact upon fact, argument upon argument, in arapid ﬂow of impassioned eloquence. She drove home many wholesome facts that the world aﬁects to disbelieve but knows full well. She denied; free love as the world under- stands the term. Her free love, she said, was the free love of God to the world. She said she had been traduced, viliﬁed, misrepresented, and imprisoned for-maintaining the right. To the world that has hated her and tried to crush her, -she now offers her bleeding heart in love. She said thatthose who’ knew her in a false light should yet know her as she ‘is’; those that hated her should yet love her; and the world that refused to listen to her story should yet accept her truths and become reformed from social and moral degradation. Mrs. Wo0dhull’s lecture was able and full of truths. Those who went to hear a coarse woman were happily disappointed. Mrs. Woodhull is a handsome, unostentatious, honest-appearing woman of wide learning and great depth of mind. She talks as a mocher who knows the joys and sorrows of maternity, as a woman who has suffered much for her principles, asa representative of her sex who is boldly breasting public opinion for the promulgation of a great social reformation. She made many friends in Kokomo and removed a false prejudice that had long been entertained against her. All wflfio heard herpronounce her lecture a grand and masterly e ort. 44 TW GEMS FROM FOURIER. WHAT To Do WITH THE BOYS; THE “ HOODLUM ” PROBLEM ’ SOLVED; THE “LITTLE HORDES” AND THE “LITTL _BANDS.” “ About two-thirds of boys are inclined to ﬁlthiness; they de- light to wallow in the mire and play at handling nasty things; they are surly, headstrong, ribald, adopting a roiﬁzh tone and gross expressions, raising uproar, braving dangers and in- clemencies of weather, and committing havoc for port. These children (in Unitary Homes or the Combined Order) are enrolled in the “Little Hordes,” the employment of which is to exercise, as a point of honor and with intrepidity, all ‘repugnant labor which would degrade a class of workmen. This corporation is a. species of half-savage legion which con- trasts with the reﬁned politeness of Harmony only in tone and not in sentiment; for it is the most ardent in patriotism.’ The other third of the boys, with about two-thirds of the girls have a. taste for good manners and peaceful functions. They are enrolled in the “Little Bands.” On the other hand, one- third of the girls have masculine inclinations, liking to in- troduce themselves into the plays of boys, which they are for- bidden to frequent; (“tom-boys.”) Thus one-third of girls enrol themselves in the “Little Hordes.” (VI, 206-47. ‘ The “Little Hordes” are the focus of all civic virtues; they should employ for the welfare of society that self-abnegation recommended by Christianity and that contempt of riches recommended by philosophy. (The latter refers to the per- mission supposed to be given in the Combined Order to the members of this body to ﬁll from their own earnings sundry gaps of a pecuniary nature which _might. otherwise cause discord.) . They should practice all virtues dreamed of and simulated in civilization. Conservators of the social honor, it is theirs to crush the serpent’s head, physically and morally. In purging the country of reptiles, they purge society of a poi- son worsethan the viper; they stifle by their treasures all risk of cupidity which might trouble concord; and by their unclean labors they stifle that pride which", by despising an industrious class, tends to bring back the spirit of caste, change the general amity and hinder the fusion of classes. It is one of bases of the Societary mechanism, which is founded on- Industrial attraction; equitable division; Unison of classes; equilibrium of population. It would seem that to obtain from childhood such prodigies of virtue we must use supernatural means, as do our monas- teries, which by very austere noviciates habituate the neo- phyte to self-abnegation; but exactly the opposite course will be followed. * * * Let us analyze the springs of those virtues; they are four, all reproved by [existing] morality: They are the tastes for ﬁlth, pride, impudence and insubordination. It is in their addiction to these pretended vices that the “ Little Hordes ” are elevated to the practice of the highest virtues. * * * * Their’s is the high police of the animal kingdom, watching in the slaughter-houses to see that no one makes any beast suffer, but gives him the easiest death. Whoever, of any age, maltreats any animal is liable to be brought before the “Little Hordes.”-—(VI, 211-12.) slaughter-houses would be unnecessary, owing to the superior quality of vegetable foods obtainable by unitary cultivation. THE “ LITTLE BANDS.” As the “Little Hordes” maintain social concord. so the “Little Bands” maintain social charm. The former reach the beautiful by way of the good; the latter the good by way of the beautiful. The “ Little Bands,” are composed of about two-thirds girls and one-third boys. They addict themselves to the care of animals diﬂiicult to raise and train; their’s is the high police of the vegetable kingdom: whoever breaks a branch of a tree, gathers ﬂowers or fruit mal apropos, or carelessly tramples on a plant, is brought before the senate of the ‘_‘ Little Bands.” They are charged with ornamental; it is their duty to censlire bad language and vicious pronuncia- tion.—-(VI, 214-18.) REMARK BY A SPIR1’.[‘.—IS it not beautiful to-contem- plate these possibilities of a future which may be within the reach-and ken of many now living in the form, even of adults, which are so far within the province of the present that almost we can stretch forth our hand and grasp them? Blessed be the men who have had the cour- age and the foresight, the eye of seer and the soul of poet, thus to throw out in sight of the many those high, heroic, emotions and impulses which are more than mere poetry, because they can be actualized, and more than practice be- cause they are the ideals of which the practical can only be the imperfect embodiment. Thus marrying the ideal to the practical they help the race to steps which will ere long become strides in a. progress which will know no halts and no backslidings. ‘ But the power to incarnate in the actual was wanting in Fourier; and the times demand those who can supplement this defect step forward! Those can best do this who are most conscious of the diﬁiculties whichvbeset the transition.

Have you seen the Wonderful Type- Writing Macliinel because of the drudgery of the pen. The Type- Writer has found rapid acceptance wherever intro- duced, and has fully sustained the claim that its work is twice as fast, three times as easy and ﬁve times legible as that of the pen. It paragraphs, punctuates, underscores and does ﬁgure work—in a word, all things necessary to the production of a perfect manu- script. Any sizeor quality of paper may be used, and the most satisfactory results obtained, at a saving in time and strength of at least one hundred per cent The Type-Writer “manifolds ” ﬁfteen copies at once, and its Work can also be copied in -the ordinary copy-press.

Having thoroughly tested its practical Worth, I ﬁnd it a complete writing machine, adapted to a wide range of work. The one I purchased of you several weeks since has been in daily use, and gives perfect satisfaction. I can write with it more rapidly and legibly than with a pen, and with inﬁnitely greater ease. Wishing you success commensurate with the merits of your wonderful and eminently useful in- vention, I am, respectfully yours, E. H. JENNY. OFFICE or DUN, BARLOW & Co., COM.

DENSMORE, YosT & Co.: G-entlemen—Haviiig had the Type-Writer in use in my oﬁice during the past two years, I do not hesitate to express my conviction of its great value. Its best recommendation is simply to say that it is a complete writing machine. The work of writing can be done with it faster, easier and with a better result than is possible with the pen. The time required to learn its use is not Worth mentioning in comparison with the advantages afforded by the machine. Yours truly. , ANSON STAGER. What Governor Howard of Rhode Island says: PHENIX, R. I., March 27, 1875. DENSMORE, YosT & Co.: - Cr*entlemen—We have now had the Type-Writer about a month, and are entirely satisﬁed with it. There can be no doubt in regard to its usefulness. When I saw the advertisement of the machine originallylhad little faith in it. An examination surprised me, but not so much as the practical working has. We have no trouble whatever with it. and it is almost constantly in operation. I think that it must rank with the great beneﬁcial inventions of the century. Very truly yours, HENRY HOWARD. Monnisrowri, June 29, 1875. DENSMORE, YosT & Co.:_ Gentlemen——Tlie Type-Writer which I bought of you last March I have used ever since, and I wish to ex- press my sense of its very great practical value. In the ﬁrst place, it keepsin the most perfect order, never falling in doing its work. I ﬁnd also, after having used it for four months, that I am able to write twice as fast as with the pen, and with far greater ease. The mechanical execution has become -so far instiiiczive that it takes far less of the atteiition of the mind than was the case with the pen, leaving the whole power of the thought to be concentrated on the composition, the result of which is increased vigor and strength of expression. The result is also so far better than the old crabbed chirography that it is a great relief both to myself and to my correspondents. The sermons written in this way are read with perfect ease by in- valids and those who for any cause are kept from church on Sunday, which ﬁlls a want often felt by ministers. And altogether. if I could not procure another, I would ‘not part with this machine for a thousand dollars; in fact, I think money is not to be weighed against the relief of nerve and brain that it brings.

To the Wakeﬁeld Earth Closet 0o.——GEivTs:——Among the many useful contrivances of this utilitarian age, the _Earth Closet holds so prominent a place, that to me it seems strange that it has not been more univer- sally adopted. Havin used the Wakeﬁeld in my family for four years, consi ering it the best, I can truly say that, in the absence of the water closet, it is indis- pensable to the health and comfort of any family.

Wakeﬁeld Earth Closet C'o.——SiRs:-—-Your Earth Closet has given perfect satisfaction; in daily‘ use for two years or more, has never been out of repair. In -preference to out-door travel, or even water—closets; no ofensioe pipes to get out of order. ‘Ill sickness, or even perfect health, would recommend it in preference to any known mode.

Y., August, 31st, 1875 Wakeﬁeld Earth Olosel 0'o.———We have usedlone of your Earth Closets now for near three years, and it has proved_to be-quite equal to our ‘expectation. We do not hesitate to say that where there is imperfect drainage and the lack of water closets, the use of the Earth Closet seems indispensable for both health and comfort. And where members of the family are very young.‘ or where they are weak and in delicate health we believe that one of your Earth Closets will In than pay for itself every year. Our feeling is, tha ' could not think of doing without your invention. ‘ A. IVICELROY WYLiE, Pastor of Presbyterian Church, N yack, N. New York, Sept. 1st, 187 _ Having used Earth Closets for some years and k. ' ing their great superiority for household purposes ove the oi dinary appliances for similar ends, I can Cor ' ly commend those of the Wakeﬁeld Company to the practical consideration of people who have sani- tary reform at heart. H. S. DRAYTON, Ed. Phrenological Journal and Life Illustrated. From Our Home Hygienic Institute of Dansville, N. Y., Sept. 1st, 1875. We have used several of your Earth Closets in and about our. Institution, and cheerfully accord to them the ﬁrst place, so far as our experience goes, and it has been not iueonsidei-able. For all purposes of neatness, freedom from smell, and non—liability to get out of re pair, they are unsurpassed. . Yours very truly, JAMESH. J ACKSON, Secretary. From D. R. Locke (Nasby), Editor Toledo Blade. New York, Sept. 1st, 1875. I have used one of your best Wakeﬁeld Closets for three or four years at my residence in Toledo, and it is every way satisfactory. I consider your system every way equal to the Water Closet system, and in some respects superior. It saved me the expense of a water closer, with trouble of bursting and obstructed pipes, and my friends in the country were glad to keep me -supplied with dry earth, on condition of receiving in exchange the product of the closet from time to time. Yours respectfully, D. R. LOCKE. We have similar letters from the following, among many others: Dn. SAMUEL LYNES, Norwalk, Conn. JOHN P.

If our “ Reformers ” limited themselves to denouncing the tyranny of our money lords and our landlords, the rob- beries of our Wall street and our railroad men. the hypocrisies and inﬁdelities of our clergy and priesthoods, especially if . they included the venality and base falsities of our news- paper men and quack scientists, there would be less to re- proach them with. What they said would at all events be true; most of it really needs saying and saying often. Their weak point‘ would be that, making no pretension to pro- pound any remedy, they would seem peculiarly exposed to the cynical inquiry of the Tweed ring: “ Well, what are you going to do about it '3” But, then, to this cynical inquiry there is possibly a really effective answer accessible when men feel the need of it, but from which the absurd actual attitudié ‘of our several “ Reformers ” utterly debars them. They have a ready answer enough now, no doubt. Theo-. retical difficulties have no existence for them; only their so ready answers are foolishness in themselves, and a resultant calamity to us all. “ Land reform,” " Anti~usury,” “ Indi- vidual sovereignty,” L“ Cost the limit of price,” “Paper money and lots of it,” and all the rest serve just one pur- pose: to strengthen the grip of the tyrants upon our throats, seat them more securely than ever upon their usurped thrones, and enable them to laugh to scorn all attempts to place upon their absolute, and irresponsible power any sort of limitation. Our tyrants, unfortunately, with all their stupidity, are not quite so ignorant as our “Reformers,” and, in view of some of the anti-social absurdities propounded, might well imagine themselves the champions of civilization against barbarism. Only the self-defeating futility of the schemes of the disorganizers; prevents their really becoming such. , , . The “Land Reform ” scheme is a good illustration. How our great monopolist lbrigands must laugh in their sleeves at this “lame and impotent conclusion” of all the tirades hurled—and really so justly hurled—at them. As a remedy againstland monopoly, forsooth! Well, what? Why, every- body-—it is always this everybody, just as though society were made up of mere individuals—everybodyi must have all the land he wants for cultivation byvhis own hands and no more! And pray who wantspland nowadays? The scheme assumes that the workingman wants land to raise his own food, and to be independent of the tyrant capitalist.‘ The very men who advance this doctrine know well enough‘-—-or would know if they could silence for a moment the clamors of anarchical passions and allow common sense combined with a genuine love for their kind to speak——th-at it isa stupid lie. They know at all events that they don’t want land themselves; they choose to stay in Boston. They know quite well that the working-men can have land if they want it under the United States laws easily enough, on the terms simply of occupying it and cultivating it. But the workingmen also refuse to have it onyany terms; they also choose to stay in the cities. Nay, more, the sons of the men who already have the land and know how to till it, forsake the paternaliacres, as our census reports stand there to prove, and ﬂock more and more, from decadeto decade,linto the great cities. S P A 3 ' And they are in the right——most plainly in the right. Who "in this age wants land, in this age of steam-plows, and reap- ‘ ing machines, and mowing machines, and haying machines, and great granaries laden with stores of food for two or three years ahead, this age when water and iron taking upon themselves, or having put upon them, rather, by an organized , human providence, the drudgery heretofore imposed by nature uponhuman muscles, and having it put upon them more and more continually, Keeley motors or no Keeley motors? What we do‘want, on the contrary, is to have thee steam-plows. and reaping machines, and mowing machines, andi haying machines, and great granaries, with their exhaustless stores, administered in view of the general well—being of the whole. instead of being perverted‘ from their legitimate destination, their social destination, to be the mere instrument of a barb aric and debauohingluxury for _a privileged (and thereby accursed) few. What we do want is to have all the results of a grand industrial organization. the gradual growth of ages of human suffering, justly and honestly i distributed among the entire human ‘family. . But we want a great deal more even than this. It is - not the direct results of the social industry only, properly so called, that we need to have justly disseminat ed amongst us all. but the whole of the beneﬁcial results of this grand civilization that has cost mankind so much; not the material products merely of its steam engines and its spinning jennies, its looms and its lathes, counting in even its Lyons silks and its“ Sevres porcelains. We want, and must, and will ‘have, still more, those other products, of ﬁner and rarer texture. ’the light of science, the aesthetic culture of the fine arts, the reﬁnements and embellishments of life, whether radiating from the drawing—room or from the temple. 1t is not dis- persion that we want; dispersion is our curse. We want only a higher, diviner, more social concentration. No, indeed; it is no individualist anarchical “ land re- form ” that can give us what we want, nor any other juggling . with » mere externals. “ Labor notes,” “ greenbacks,” , “ bonds,” i nterchangable or non-interchangeab=1‘e, or whatso- whether of the Carey kind, or the Malthus,'or the Ricardo, or any other kind, are altogether beside the mark. , It is that higher kind of Spiritualism that can purge out the grossness of our habitual aims and purpose, naturally breeding, as this does, grossness and empiricism in our habitual conceptions, conceptions of politics, conceptions of society, conceptions of reform, conceptions of religion, that alone can help us. Un- happily much of the so—called “Spiritualism ” of to-day is itself only a product of this very grossness; only another form of the all—pervading, still-developing, still-extending, of our worst vices, moral as well as intellectual. And if this seems a little like speaking in parables, all there is space to say further here, just now, is,~that the in- telligent ‘reader who is not afraid of the trouble of doing a little honest thinking can have it all made clear enough to him; on conditions, of course. Nature has ﬁxed immutably the conditions upon which alone she will yield up her secrets. As long as men shut their eyes, stop their ears, crying, “ Are not the waters of Arbana and Pharpar. etc.,” setting up ignor- ance to weigh knowledge, in her stupid, crooked, and passion- weigh ted scales, so long must the supreme laws of our Cosmos remain to them as Sphinx riddles. RAMSHORN. IN LMEMORIUM. Aurora H. C. Phelps died at Woburn, Mass., in the 45th year of her carth—life, and was given a pauper's burial by the town authorities. She, was a remarkable woman in many respects. Liberally educated, she might have ‘moved in the highest circle of society, yet she gave up all and de- voted her short life here to the uplifting of the down-trodden and oppressed of earth. During the war she devoted her time and energies to nurs- ing the sick and wounded in the Union hospitals, and many an old comrade has changed worlds with a blessing from his pale lips for the soft hand that soothed his fevered brow. Since the war closed, the Working women and sewing girls of the East have ever found in her a devoted friend. Failing apparently, but not in reality, in many of her grand and benevolent projects through the lack of pecuniary means, she never faltered,/but toiled on up the ragged heights of progression, though her -ﬂeet were oft times torn and bleeding, and at the age of 45, almost as one might say in the summer of life, this grand, noble woman must needs lay aside her earthly body becauserforsooth it was worn out through un- supported eiforts to free the slave women of America. What a comment on Christianity? What a world of teaching is contained in the efforts of that short life to you O followers of the meek and lowly Nazarene I When he sendeth his chosen. disciples among you and they follow in his footsteps, ye re- eeive them not; ye turn coldly away,‘ and instead of giving of your abundance to assist an earnest one, ye keep your gold and silver beneath lock and key to be a millstone about your necks for ages. Verily, I say, let them that loveth me give up ever hocus-pocussing of politico-economical quackery, still-intensifying materialism, pandering moreover to some ' I J’ allfand follow “me; and hath not our arisen sisterdoneall, aye and even more than this? And this woman (ishould say angel) whose whole aim through life has been the elevation of humanity, who, as the Lowell Journal informs us, had many friends and no enemies, was givena pauper’s burial! Perhaps it might be well for you, wealthy men ofVWoburn, to enquire concerning A her introduction into soul—life. and whether the leading minds there tendered her a pauper’s re- ception, and whether him whom, ye professto love and serve condesended to say: Well done, good and faithful servant; inasmuch as thou hast been faithful“ in small things,Iwill thee make master over many things. , ‘ S , To therespectable wives of the respectable men of this town I have only pity. Ye have no rights; ye want none; and when-one comes in your midst and would teach ye con- coming a higher life than which ye now know, ye turn coldly away as did the Jews of eighteen centuries ago, and will not learn ofwisdom when it is tendered thee. To the veterans of our war I must say, comrades, liregret that you so soon forgot the ministrations of one who was mother and sister to’many of ‘us far away in Southern hos- pitals; one would have thought that it would have been a ﬁtting occasion for any Grand Army Post to have tendered their services as a guard of honor at the burial of one who had devoted the best years of her’ life to the nursing of those who comprise your circle. I A » among women. Ye trailed your arms in the dust, ‘and wreathed the starry ﬂag in orape at the burial of Sumner and Wilson. Were they more worthy than she? Nay I tell you not so; they may have labored in a more popular ﬁeld than she, but her work was unfolding and developing the natures of the mothers of these of whom we speak. Have a care Grand Army of the North that your boasted eagle of freedom may notlbecome an owl, shining to better advantage in thedarkness of slavery and despotism, than in the broa d sunlight of Progression and Equal Rights. To the sewing girls there are no need of words; deep en- shrin ed within your hearts the recollection of what she was to you can never die, and the tears falling from theiweary eyes of the slave women of the North are a ﬁtting tribuca to the memory of one who has made her name immortal. God...» while we drop the silent tear for the tired form that has van- lished from our midst, yet we know that mankind. hath‘be,en grandly educated by the teachings of such as thou. AYER, Mass, Jan. 17, 1876. W FRED L. HILDBET1=f, .._..___... eon on MAMMON ‘? , OBERLIN. Ohio. Feb. 21, 1876. Editors of the Weekly: I am of the opinion that Mr. Beech- er’s greatest sin does not consist in what you charged him with, by any means. I noticed, years ago. and commented upon it at the time, thathe misrepresented his. Master, and in so doing robbed his cause of millions of dollars per annnm that he might gratify his lust. If his example had been fol- lowed, it appeared to me, the Lord’s treasury Would have been entirely empty, because no one man could-earn with the labor of his hands an amount equal to What he expended; consequently, if his example was right there was nothing left for‘God’s poor. Neither Christ nor Paul made merchan- Idise of their talents, and if he had not, but had oruciﬁad his lusts, as taught by his divine Master, he could have revolu- tionized the world, apparently, in his day, and been tri- umphing now, instead of being in the agonies of hell, and fallen as low as Lucifer. Christ chose poverty, became “the poorest of the poor," and why did not Mr.’ Beecher? Beecher has appeared to me to be a willing servant of mammon; and has not mammon come to his rescue and done all she could to save him from the bark of a fox. The bowels of the entire nation, from the White House all through, were moved in behalf of the distinguished citizen, but they can't save him; neither can he save himself, and he will drag multitudes down with him, and they feel the halter draw ‘already. If I am correctly informed, Edward Kellogg, author of the “. New Monetary System,” labored in person with Be.echer toconvert him, but to no ‘purpose. When we heard this we made 9; note of it. No honest. mind, as we believe, can reject the; truths revealed in that book, any more than they can thosé revealed in the Bible.

V When Beecher protested his innocence in the ﬁrst instance, in the. face of,such‘evidence as lay against him, we stood aghast at it, and shocked, completely. He cannot shock us ‘more, say what ‘he will. .We are sorryfor him as we should be‘for,the devil {in agony.

' WHAT TO DO; HOW TO DO IT. . Feiendsiof the Weekley: ' ’ . There has been much discussion 'for several years past, of the great social {problem, and it is safe to assume that light has penetrated very many minds. Experiments have .also been made, and are being made. to work out into actual life, the truths that are already revealed. Up to this time, how- ever, so far as I am informed, no movement has been made thatomeets the views ofthe mass of earnest sympathizers in the work. With some diﬁidence. I present the outline of still another plan for the consideration of all who wish to en- gagfe -in active work. _ * "Let there‘ be raised by voluntary subscription, a fund suf- ﬁcient for the endowment of a free home, and the organiza- tion of industries, whereby those who occupy it, may main‘-, L tain themselves by labor. Let the property be held by trus- tees for the use and beneﬁt of all who wish to live pure lives; end let theindustries be presided over bypersons selected fornbusiness qualiﬁcations requisite to ensure success. Let no individual own. any interest, either direct or contingent, « in the property, except as a tenant. rent free. Let the pro- . ceedsiof labor be appropriated, ﬁrst to defraying the domes- « tic expenses, including food, clothing, care ofthe sick, edu- cation of both old and young and recreation; and let the balance, if there be any, be divided pro rata. according to la- bor done. Let there be no test of membership, but the one stated above, and no voting, either to admit or exclude, there . being no power, or means to enforce either, except social magnetism. In this article Iwill not attempt to defend, oreluoidate this plan, further than to say, that, in my opinion, if properly presented to persons who have means, it will win support thatoocouldfnot be obtained for any regular communistic. movement. I am impressed that itowill secure the beneﬁts of communism, while avoiding the objections that are con- stantly urged against it. I am willing to stake all upon it. Others, more cautions, will contribute only such sums as they are willing to lose. Many will give, not expecting any personal beneﬁt, and some whole-souled, rich liberalists may be induced to shoulder the burden. I am impressed that the neccessary fund can be raised. .. A. WARREN. .- [Those who feel in sympathy with our correspondent can communicate with him at Van Burcn, Hancock Co. Ohio.] RESPECTABILITY. BY wnnnnn CHASE. - , ' “ MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Feb. 15. “ A young girl of modest and becoming appearance who appealed to the County Commissioners for assistance yester-- day tells a sad story. She came here seeking employment, but failing, found a home with a kind lady. A brother of the latter conceived more than common fondness for the stranger, which was reciprocated by a solemn promise of faithfulness. She was led, astray in disgrace, was deserted by her lover._ She returned to her parents in Wisconsin. Her father sternly turned her out of home. Again she came to this city and put herself under the protection of the county. She is now cared forat the ‘ poor farm.’ " - _ Wei clip the above item from the Chicago Inter-Ocean, which,fof course, only gives it as an item of news, for the pul- pit and press both sustain this mode of treatment for the fe- males, and directly the opposite for the male. With them it is no "disgrace for a single man to do all she did, and indeed, many people think he is not qualiﬁed to marry till he has sown a lot of wild cats in this way. This poor girl, like the thousands of her sex, must be kicked out’ of decent homes by christians, and even her parents, because her delicate, fine. and sensitive nature was overcome by the wily deception of the‘ seductive rascal‘; - but he can go to church and get the fairest daughter in it for :a wife, while she is sent where she must have the worst of surroundings and poorest company, and .-no chance to recover. I am glad to know there are some poor suﬂ“erers of this kind rescued by a better class of reformers andprogressive Spiritualists who are above the shafts of the churches and their gossiping crews; arid if we had means, even a tithe of the fortunes of a Stewart or Astor, this and every such poor deserted victim of masculine vice should be rescued and have as good a home and friends as the married mothers; and if possible the guilt should follow the one that deserted her in such hour of trouble. There is a world where justice will be done, even for the deeds in this life. Every kind of snare is set in society to catch young girls, by the . opposite sex, and as soon as one is caught, no matter by what “system of lieing, she is thrown out to leave room for others = to be tried; and it is often the best—hearted and best disposi- tions that are trapped. This is largely the reason so many young girls join the churches, seeking there social protection and respectability. For if they do not belong to some church they are far more liable to become the subjects of gossip and -scandal, and lies, even; and so delicate is society on this sub- v- zject that it seldom goes to the trouble to search out the truth or to punish the liar, or even the seducer. The truth is not that the young ladies are so much morereligious than the opposite sex. They seldom believe the doctrine of the churches they join, and most of them do not even know what that doctrine is; but they seek protection bya social wall which thechurch furnishes, and thus they get reputations till they get caught, and then usually they are cast out and down. Young men . who do not needthat protection seldom join the church, un- less it is to cover up some moral delinquency, or to get em- ployment, or oftener to get some girl that is in there. About all the good the churches-‘do nowis to protect the reputation of ladies, andfif it did even this decently and justly we would?‘ give credit for so much. But its wicked and unjust discrim- inations leaveilittle ground for credit, and its cruel system of making slaves of women by marriage, as it now is, leaves a large balance’ against it. How far this causeapplies to the ex- cess of females in Beecher’s and some otherpopular churches 7 we cannot say, as many people believe these are drawn in by the great magnetic and psyohologic‘ power of the preachers, and it may be so, for it is certain. that the women in Mr. Beecher’s church are not of a remarkably religious turn of mind, as ‘is "plainly shown by; their‘ public and private exhi- bitions sinceéfthe trial of their pastor. We have long been aware that.né1'ther thegprea‘chers nor therfemale -members of- churches were more r»elig"i‘ous” or moral than those outside the folds.

FLANDER5. eons DESIGN NOT THWARTED. BY M. E. A. The Spiritual element” of the human family, which is the “Seed of the Woman,” is just as much an incorporated part of her, as the physical generative seed is apart of man. When we bring Genesis down to modern language it reads thus: After God had made man in his own image, he took from under his ribs on the left side, the solar plexus or spiritual heart, individualized itand named it woman. It was the last thing he created, and therefore the highest and nearest his ideal, and was designed for a mediator between himself and man. Then the, ﬁrst she desired was an external expression of her internal conception of God made manifest in the ﬂesh. In the two entities, man and woman, which in the perfect state constitute but one, there are three distinct elements or dspartmentséanimal, human and divine. ' The ﬁrst accounts that we have of the human family in our Bible show that the animal predominated and harmon- _ ized with all of its surroundings, and was the ruling power, » and is represented by the lowest order of animal life. The serpent signiﬁes a paralizing, fascinating power to bring one down on to a lower plane, like the snake charming the bird. In spite ofvall its trying to keep up in the tree on ’ its own legitimate plane, it fails and drops down into the jaws of the serpent. » ' - Can there be a more perfect ﬁgure of the sexual magnetic power of an animal man drawing a spiritual minded woman down to his own level? But she'diﬂ*‘ers from the bird in hav- ing two natures, and when his passion is satiated she realizes that she has outraged her spiritual nature in pandering to the animal: 1 She has yet to learn that in this day of unfold- merit, a godly woman falls from her high estate when she comes into the sexual relation from any other cause'or prompt- ing than her divine instinct which is the Holy Ghost that God implanted within her for the salvation. of the race. 6000 years ago itwas all in the order of things that she should come down from her legitimate position for the express purpose of helping man,’to carry out the ﬁrst command to multiply and replenish the earth and subdue it; for the ﬁrst or animal plane must inevitable be perfected. before there could be a foundation whereon the human intellect could be built,Which took 4,800 years before the most advanced manhood arrived at a plane of development where human intellect predomin- ated over animal instinct in sexual matters. As man ascended from the animal to the’ human, woman arose from the human to the divine. Then the divine instinct, which is the Holy Ghost, came upon Mary and inspired her in regard to the physical father of her child, the spiritual or soul of the child was already begotten by the Heavenly Father. C It has taken us 1875 years to understand the spiritual sig- niﬁcance of the Christ principle. DRESS REFORM. To the friends of the‘National League I would say my pioneer work still assures me that, to start the practical strongly, it only needs the example and active advocacy of believers whoseem conﬁdent, and in many ways prepared to act, but scarcely can tell why they defer. There is abund- ance of willing material when favoring events can produce concert. I_have just spent several days in‘Philadelphia. and Camden, canvassed among strangers, visited mayors, held a public meeting in each city assisted by Mrs. Byrnes, Dun- dore. Coleman and Palmer. Considerable interest is mani- fest by both people and the press, and I trust the day is not distant in which we shall see the curse of ages cast from woman‘s form. E. TILLOTSON. VINELAND, Fe.b., 1.876. _ A . Sr. Josnrn, Mo., Feb. 15, 1876. Mrs. WooclhuZl—Fr0m I this splendid young city of the Northwest, where you was greeted by such a large admiring audience, I address you, moved by the perusal of an article .4. in’ yours of this week. It was never designed by the founders of our government that Congress should have power: to punish crime and of- 1 fences, except such as are specially provided for in the Con- stitution, viz., counterfeiting the ‘coin or currency, piracy, and other felonies on the high seas, and such offences as were committed by those in the military service (land and naval), and perhaps in_one or two more instances. I Do you doubt it? Read that Constitution! ' Do you still doubt it? Read the Debates on the, Constitution. See the picture drawn by some of those great, old men,’ of a time that might occur, in case the power of Congress were not limited as it is, some day in the future when men might really be carried out of the counties where the commission of the oﬁence was charged, into distant counties for criminal trial. What would they say now, after all the'guards and limitations were imposed, at [seeing men dragged hundreds of miles‘ on thousands of charges of offenses made into crimes (acts often harmless in themselves). and cruel and unusual punishments inflicted. \Vhat are cruel and unusual . punishments forbidden by the Constitution? Nearly every penalty under the revenue, pension, bankrupt, postal, press, ; currency andvoither laws. m 1 This infernal system of protective paternal legislation is a disgrace to our intelligence; and ‘the fools we send to Con- gress seem incapable of understanding how to legislate with- out introducing acts creative of crime. Wipe all such laws ' from the statute book. ‘Let the States provide the penal codes, as was originally intended. The world is governed too much. During the past ten years how many poor farmers and others have been dragged three hundred miles to J effer- son city, charged with selling a little tobacco to their neigh- bors (tobacco of home growth), or other trite oﬂences, and been punished most severely. And to make bad worse, the wretched accused must ‘ad- vance all costs for his own witnesses, and is never reimbursed if acquitted. oMany a man has been indicted on more sus- picion, owing to the ofﬁcious zeal of the prosecuting attor- neys, and thus ruined. These courts are become human slaughter houses. ’ So often have the penal laws been amended and changed that it is doubtful if a single conviction is legal in any of the cues; for a change of penalty or a repeal ‘discharges the accused. But so low is the tone of the bar, keeping pace with all else, that a Constitutional lawyer is hard to ﬁnd. H. Mnnnnrru. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 22, 1876. Editors Woodhull and Claﬁ'm’s Weekly: I had prepared an E article for your paper on the Samoan Islands as they were twenty-ﬁve years ago, when I learned that one on that sub- ject had been published in the Banner of Light. At that period the Samoan group had been but little visited, except by Whalers and cocoanut oil traders. By the efforts of Eng- lish missionaries many of the natives had embraced Chris- tianity, but on some of the smaller islands, where only native teachers resided, the manners and customs of the people—-excepting some of the ceremonies of Christianity, and among them a strict observance of the Sabbath—were the same as the habits of their ancestors; and this to a cer- tain extent is the case now, or up to a late date, in the remote districts ofthe outlying islands; but iest I repeat what has already been printed in the Banner, 1 will defer the sudject until I have seen that paper. California is the stronghold of bullion; here weworship the golden calf, and like Mexico we are poor. Greedy para- sities flock to our shores and take away all our produce. Nobody seems to care’ what will become of us when our fertile ﬁelds are exhausted of their fertility, and our mines are worked out. I presume it will. be time enough then, when the greedy cormorants with which we are -infested have left. to adopt a greenback currency and lower the rate of interest that European Shylocks are ﬁlching from us. VVe are a little worse off than Mexico, most of whose traders, miners and money lenders are foreigners. While we have all these as well, who annually swell the hoards of European coﬁers by shipping abroad all the proﬁts of our industries, we encourage Chinamen to come here and take away what they leave. This is a subject upon which many honest reformers differ. Our country they say “is the asylum of the oppressed of all nations.” If they are ﬂeeing from oppression, and come here to make a home for themselves and their children, well and good; but when they come here to amass wealth and take it away, or to secure property and go to Europe to live upon their rents, the result is absenteeism; but that which permits the Chinaman to come here and degrade labor by competing with our own people at prices that no white person can successfully contend against without descending to the worst depths of human degradation, is even worse. Those who advocate the cause of tho laboring classes should be careful how they echo the phrases that the capitalists coin. If we wish to elevate the masses we must keep these Chinese coolies away; if we wish to improve them, we must ﬁrst secure amelioration for ourselves, and then they will be able to proﬁt by our example, and we will be ‘able to give them assistance to improve their own condition. It is too plain to be mistaken, that among our rulers, especially in Congress, there is a reckless disregard of the rights of the masses in this particular, if, indeed, there is not a design to crush the working-people of our country by the degrading competition of the servile laborers of Asia. V A l V ‘ , Our China line of steamers carry Chinese sailors and waiters. An ex-captain of that line lately testified before. a legislative committee, "‘ that they were very unsafe in cases of peril, liable to be panic—stricken;” but for the sake of getting their crews at little cheaper, these companies do not hesitate to triﬂe with the safety of passengers. The Bullion King not only sits enthroned in California, but here, too, the princes of gamblers have their head quar- ters. We have very stringent laws against “ thimble rig- in l r. 5; I‘: . -.v . . _>.:ag,,m .. is >. 75. t H , Mar. 1-1,1876. 1' ging,” “ banco,” and faro dealing,” for the mining-stock gambling interests are jealous of their legitimate rights, and are not willing to divide their plunder with these petty rob- bers who are ostracized by our laws, while their compeers are protected in their nefarious practices by judicial de- cisions- These operators, when successful, are sent to the U.~S. Senate; these positions they are said to secure by car- rying stock for the members whojvote for t,hem,,but the joke of the last senatorial election of. this kind was, thatthe elected senator let the stocks down before they reached the prices at which the legislators were to sell. There was some tall cursing, so it is said,*b’ut noboby dared to complain. The way fortunes are made at mining in this State would have astonished the Puritans (whose decendants many of us ’ are) 50 years ago. Jones and Sharon have both been super- intendents of mines - in” Nevada, though it is generally sup- posed that they are new residents of San Francisco, which is, as you know, ‘in the -State oI California- The modus opera/ndt fof striking.-a Bonanza is this: A’ diamond drill is used to bore into the face of the drift or the'bottom'of the shaft, This takes out acore of rock, the quality of which is kep}-, secret from all who are not in the ring. Ifpay ro_ck is struck, of course that drift ‘or shaft is stopped.‘ , If a bonanza in embryo is developed, assessments are levied to depress the value of the stock; until ‘the ring has bought it all iniat low prices ;* then they uncover, invite ‘experts to go to the mine and examine.'1 Even 'U. S. officials are roped in. ‘ Away ﬂies mg shook, kitingﬁand. thus the.-Ivolume of the property in afew. days is increased millions of dollars. Of course ‘a few out- siders get in on the ,ﬁrst.. of the ﬂood or the game would be too thin to ‘succeed more than once. While it is high water the ring of course" unload all the stocks they can spare and keep control of the mines. Then comes a fire, or they strike water, and down goes the stock until the prices suit the ring to load up again; and thus the wheel of fortune keeps turn- ing for the ring operators, but woe to the outsiders. Thou- sands of, women in ourcity are engaged in stock gambling. Widows left by their husbands in comfortable circumstances have been made penniless. Mechanics who had acquired homesteads by industry and frugality have sunk them in the vertex of this gambling maelstrom.

I ' " Until the advent of modern Spiritualism it is safe to say that the prevailing notions about the condition of the dead, were based upon so-called revelations. There were various theories held by small classes of the people, but there were none based upon either pretended or admitted facts. Nor were there any things claimed to be facts, upon which a theory could be baaed, and such as existed were more speculations, most of which, like those based upon revela- tions, have been overturned by the facts of modern Spirit _ ualism. But putting;-aside all theories and speculations," all revelations and disputed things, there still remains the fact that those who die, pass beyond the realm of our physical senses, and that the query still is unanswered to the great majority : “ If aman die shall he. live again ?” We are aware that Spiritualists claim that there is no death ; that the phenomenon called by that name is really nothing more than a change. In the absolute sense, all this them who throng}, few. of death wgy-g all their life- his very true, since it is certain that, of all the matter there was in the world at the “ beginning,” not so little as one small atom is dead, in the sense of being destroyed. But death and destruction are by no means synonymous terms, save in a very limited and relative sense ; save in the sense of the relative. A physical body that is dead is destroyed ; that is, the structure is destroyed, but not the substance of which the structure consisted. That has undergone a change only; and so it is with the physical body after the process called death. The structure in which the life that it is claimed still exists, was conﬁned, is dead ; is destroyed ; is passed away, and, so far as the organization of which it con- sisted, islconcerned, it is eﬁectually destroyed. Of this there can be no doubt. Then is it logical to claim that death is nothing more than a change ? The thing that decays is not merely a habitation in which the life that continues exists in the sense that a house is a habitation, from which, when we remove from one to another, we make 9. change. The physical body is the thing in which and from which the life that continues is developed. In fact, if it were not for the- physical body there could be no spiritual body. Then, the process called death is something more than a simple change. It is a transition from one sphere of life to another, in the making of which that which is left behind is destroyed in the fullest sense that there ever is destruction of anything. A change would be the transit of the life that continues, from one place to another, still remaining in its physical environ- ment. To go out of that environment ; to drop its in- ﬂuences and associations, and to enter into new and alto- gether different ones, is not suﬂiciently described by the word change; nothing less than the word death can adequately? deﬁne that change, death meaning the destruction of that- in which life was developed. ‘ ‘ ' ' There is a process which has been always called death, and it means the same thing to-day that it meant when it ,wa_s'j ﬁrst used ; and it will always continue to be used so long as; the process to which the term is now appliedshall continue.» Therefore, because it has been demonstrated by the facts of modern Spiritualism, that the conscious individuality of the person continues to exist after death, it is not logicalto say that there is no death ; or that it is nothing but a change, unless change have its distinct departments ;.because if a person remove to a distant country it is a diﬁerent thing If death meant an- nihilation; or if it had been used to mean that, before it had been demonstrated, that there is a conscious existence after it has taken place, then it would be improper to continue to use thegterm as it is used; but death has never meant anniliilation, since it is an impossibility to -conceive of anything being annihilated in the sense that something can become nothing. We are aware that science denies everything of which it cannot take hold; cannot put in its crucibles and formulate the results. Nevertheless, we are also aware that there are many common illustrations that are ready answers to this assumption. For instance, who has not seen the oil in the lamp diminish in quantity until nothing was left in the lamp , save’ the wick ? There was something; there is nothing, to the sense of vision, touch or taste. What has become of it? Is it destroyed ‘.9 No E1 It’ is dead, asoil; that is to say, the elements that entered into theC0mP011I1d' have been set free by ﬁre. Who can tell that ﬁre may not be able to set all the elements that are combined in all forms equally as free’ as it does those of the oil ? Who can tell if this con- dition of freedom were not the original condition of all elemental matter existing inthe space intangible to any of the present methods of determining existence-—’hearing, seeing, smelling, tasting, feeling? And who can ten if to that condition all matter is not to return again‘ ? , There are no , reasons, _however, ‘for supposing that the eléments .01‘ atOIT1§,0f matter set free from combination in Space by ﬁfe 01‘: 0131191‘ means (the same process is constantly going on in our bodies in breathing and insensible per- Spifation) are intangible to the spiritual senses. In- deed, we know that they are not; we_know that every different motion of elemental matter makes its music with which to entrance the spirit ear; its beautiful color to cap.- tivate the spirit leye; its delicious perfume to delight the spirit sense of- odors ;- its luscious ﬂavor to satiate the spirit taste; the degree of harmony, or attractiveness of each sound, the beauty of each color, the power of each odor, the ‘deliciousness of each ﬂavor; and more than all, the exquisite sense that shall be communicated by every con- tact, Will be determinecl by the degree of the organic devel- opment through, which matter shall have passed; and we ‘ ?k11OW alsolshatn all _these things are ,to be enjoyed without money and -without price (save that of. attaining to the required conditions) «‘by-all who shall arrive at the immortal state; at that state in which the new-born sons and daugh- ‘ters of God shall haveburst the barriers of ‘the tomb or bid deﬁance to the" grim monster, death-—the "Bible devil whom Jesus came to, demonstrate, could be overcome; could be destroyed; and whom he did overcome and destroy in his ownperson; » . _ M Now, admitting that Jesus did rise from the dead,,as each of the-‘ifour Gospels, and as St. Luke in The 'A'cts, {St. Paul in his Epistles, and St. John in his Revelations declare, and ‘as all’ Christians of whatever ‘creed orisect ipretend to believe that he did, what is: its signiﬁcance to the world? If it have any signiﬁcance at all; if it were not »a whim of Christs, with no ulterior purposes—no promise :of ulterior conditions to the world—~it can have meant one ‘ thing only, and that is, that all whom" the ‘Father had given into his charge should also be raised from the dead. Now, we want to conﬁne all Cliristians strictlyto these facts, so that they may not be able to slnrk or cavil at their logic. WW6 therefore reassert, that all the signiﬁcance that there _'was attaching to the death, burial, and resurrection‘ of Jesus, was in the resurrection. Everyone dies and is buried, but none save J csus, have, as yet, been resurrected from the grave. This was the life and thcimmortality that he came to, and that, through his resurrection, he did bring to light. Had he not been resurrected his advent on the earth would have been of no more importance than that of scores of others, who, at various times in the history of the world, have done the works that he did. He said himself that his mission would amount to nothing unless this, the crowning fact of it, were to be madelclear; it was not “possible that this cup should pass from” Him; it was “ Thy will” that he should drink it to its dregs. And all of Jesus’ teachings conﬁrm this. There is but onesalvationi that he taught, and that was the salvation from death, and He meant the death that we call death now, for there is no other death. To claim that the death which he referred to was a life in contra-distinction to the heaven of the Christian, is to play upon words, for the existence in their hell is as much life‘ as it would be in their heaven, and we should say much more so. Read the text: “ Verily, verily, I say unto you; he that keepeth my saying shall never see death.” It is impossible to make that mean anything else than that he should never die. ' Death, then, means the existence out of the physical body. All are dead who are in spirit life, and will remain dead until the resurrection, when such as have kept, the saying of Christ will be resurrected, to live with those who shall then be on 5 ‘earth, who have also kept His saying, and shall never die. ‘ ' Now this view of the case brings about a perfect reconcil- l'iati’o_n of all the hitherto unexplanable and incomprehen- sible conditions to which .continued,reference I is _made in the Bible, and which have made it a stumbling-block to many and a thing of ridicule to more. It ‘explains’ away the mystery that has always attended the claim that a belief in J csus couldconfer any beneﬁts; for it shows that those who live this true life, when the resurrection‘ day shall come, being dead, shall be able to rise; and those-still remaining, as Paul says, shall be able to live; not by any miraculous intervention of God, but as a natural result of a true life. When the mystery in which salvation is enveloped shall be rent, and it shall come to be demonstrated that salvation depends upon the manner in which we live in‘ the physical life, and that that salvation is a salvation from death; when it can be shown to the people that there is a life which, if ‘ led, will make, them superior to death, then the ridiculous position into which Christians have reduced religion, will be understood. As it is now, there is no faith in the Bible. It is a mere fable which nobody comprehends, and which has but little restraininglor constraining inﬂuenceupon anybody. In this intellectual age of the world, people refuse to ground their faith in anything that does not at least have some evidence of existence or of a possibility of attaining to existence.

WOOD*HiULL & CLAFIaIN'S WEEKLY; _ 5 hell of orthodoxy, can no longer be crammed into the developed mentality of to—day. It is only those who think little, and reason less, who can be made to"swallow these absurdities. All others are looking for something new and higher; some new development upon which to hang their hopes of life. . - ' Indeed, the Bible itself is an utter refutation of the com- mon idea of heaven and hell. The only words that have been translated hell are Gehenna, Sheol and Hades. The first of ,these means the valley of Hinnom, a valley near Jerusalem, in which all the offal of the city was carriedto be burned. That was where “the worm dieth not and the ﬁre is not quenched.” The term Hades, as well: as Sheol, signiﬁes the place where all the dead-all spirits—--exist, the good as well as the bad. The meaning, the literal meaning, of these words in the Greek, may be-found in any unabridged Webster’s dictionary: Sheol-—the place of departed spirits; Hades—the habitation of the dead; but yet the orthodox Christians, in the face of these facts, continue to preach that there is a hell of literal ﬂame into which the wicked are consigned, and a literal heaven where the blessed re- side. Is it not almost time that the outraged sense of this progressive age should rise and throw off. this bondage into which the world has been reduced through fearof a hell bigots? There are but two alternatives for Christians who profess” the Bible. They must either admit that the future state of existence is the resurrected condition, or else that death is5 eternal; for there is no other way pointed out" in their ,, guide. To die, is to be damned, for that is to yield to the dominion of the devil, and to be in his domain so long as death continues. Paul distinctly states that him that has the .. power of death, is the devil, through fear of whom all our life, 1. we are in bondage. Now, can there be anything more start- lingly true than this assertion, if it be rightly comprehended‘? Are we not all our lives under the dominion of this mon-I; ster ? We are taught on every hand that we have got to‘-' die. Until very recently the idea that we have not got to die has been latent in theﬂhuman mind. But thank God, the; knowledge that death has got to yield his sceptre to the sons: into many souls and redeem them from their bondage. If hell, after all, mean nothing but “ the place of departed spirits,’ “the habitation of the dead,” and thedead are all, who have once lived in the body but are now living in spirit,: then heaven-life must mean the contrary of these-—mu‘st— mean the life in the body-—the material form-—let that life be what it may as compared to the forms of the present. In other words, to live is to express the powers of spirit through material channels. This is the way that God liyes. .Asidef (if there be any such thing) from the expression of His powen in this way. He is dead, the same as they are dead who have departed out of the body. ; ‘ In this view Paul’s assertion, that “If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable,” be-. comes signiﬁcant. It could apply to no other condition than the one to which we are endeavoring to attract the attention of the world, viz : a common condition for those who are living, and thosevwho are dead. The hope in this life is to be saved from dying; the hope in spirit life, without which we should be “of all men most miserable,” is to be with Christ at His Coming ; is to be resurrected from death into life. Paul, further on in the xv Chapter of I Corinthians, states this fact so clearly that there is no mistaking it, for he says: “So when this coriuptible shall have put on incor- ruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then (not till then) shall be brought to pass the saying, that -“ death is swallowed up in victory.” This does not say‘- that we are goingto die and be resurrected ; but directly the reverse ; this corruptible (form) must be changed, in the twinkling of an eye to incorruption, for “the dead shall ’71’ not only “ be raised,” but we (the living) shall be changed. Do these words of Paul have any meaning ? Let Christians answer, and if they shall say that they have, then let them hereafter read the words as they stand written, and not per- vert them ”0 that they make them to mean nothing; ‘ As a result {of the evolution of life we also come to the same conclusion. The -aim of evolution’ is toperfect material formation ; is to make the abode of the spirit a perfect one ; one in and through which it can enjoy all the glories that its prophetic soul sees in the yet dim vi-sta of the future ; in and through which it can come into perfect rela- tions with God the Common. Father. A SECOND RASHER OF BACON. We are perfectly willing that Dr. Bacon and all otheﬁr admirers of Plymouth Church and its Pastor should"; call the empose of Mr. Beecher by whatever name best pleases them, for none we feel sure, know so well how to properly characterize it, as those who ﬁrst manufactured- the material out of which it was made, and then dealt it , out. If Mr. Beecher still think that the contents of the pail that was emptied by the Nov. 2d, 1872, number of the WEEKLY were slops, and if Dr. Bacon and the rest of his admirers choose at-this late day to preﬁx“ dirty” tothem, we shall not object. One thing is certain, let thembe “slops” or “ dirty slops,” orwhatever else they may choose to de- nominate them, we should never have had a_ pail fullof them to empty, if they had not been first .mi,X6,c1 by Mr. jBeeeher’s own hand, and thence by him, and the others inte- rested in them dealtout to others; When the news was Eﬁrst received, we were not so certain that they were “ dirty slops, ” but after they had been in our possession about a year, ;we began to learn that they were not altogether clean, and ﬁnally we ;concluded that they were not of a quality that would keep well any longer, and we therefore dispensed ‘with them. We were surprised to hear Mr. Beecher, soon after ‘that, declare that he had been douched with “ slope,” and still more ‘so now to have thatdeclaration enforced by Dr. Bacon withrthepreﬁx-which he has seen fit to add, because, .altl'1oughlate,in the day,"rhey fullyiconﬁrm our own opinion arrived at years ago. If Mr. Beecher and Dr. Bacon are not competent to decide the character of the dish that they have ;themselves'“made', who, ﬁpray, should be? We can when Dr. Bacon departs from characterizing the scandal, to calling us names, we have a right to ask him for his authority. He says, “that infamous woman,” and “that infamous paper.” Some of our readers will remember that this Christian D. D. once before let his passion get the better of his discretion and run away with him, and we were 3 must,’ therefore, give him a little attention again. 1 Dr. Bacon, we presume, professes to be a Bible Christian. Did he ever read Proverbs, X. 18, which says, “He that uttereth a slander is a fool.” To call one infamous without being possessed of aiknowledge of facts that will justify the use of the most approbrious term there is in the Eng- lish language, is to utter a slander. Now, we will wager that Dr. Bacon cannot bring forward even one fact upon which to base his assertion. He has said‘ publicly, “that infamous woman.” Now, Dr. Bacon, these columns are open to you to substantiate your charge. What. have we done that is infamous? Come now, there is no backing down; substantiate your assertion by proof, or else take home to yourself what the Bible says about such things of such people._ If Dr. Bacon call it infamous to expose Mr. Beecher, and . , -because we havedone that he calls us infamous, we reply and daughters of God, has had birth, and it shall spread that we did not- compound this crime as he and the rest of the Advisory Council have attempted to do. If, as Mr. Beecher says, there is a State’s -Prison offence. at the back of all this, and they are trying to conceal it, are they not one and all accessories after the fact, and next guilty,» with the parties to the crime? People who live in glass houses should be careful how they throw stones carelessly about. A person to be infamous, must, according to Web- ster, be guilty of some infamy. Now, Dr. Bacon, is the infamy that we have committed the exposure of Mr. Beech- er, or some other; and if some other, what other? But Dr. Bacon also said that “infamous paper.” Has Dr. Bacon ever read the WEEKLY? If he has we will also give him the opportunity to call the attention of its readers to anything that he has ever seen in its columns that is in- famous. The WEEKLY is a free paper, open to the discus- sionof all sides of all questions. If Dr. Bacon has seen anything so very reprehensible in it as ‘to deserve the appellation of “infamous” it is his Christian duty _to warn its readers of such a departure from right teaching. A Christian cannot, of course, attempt to correct everything that is wrong; but if he has had sufficient interest in the _WEEKLY and inthe cause it advocates to read it enoughto be comes within the range of his duty to correct it. We have tens of thousands of readers, Dr. Bacon, many of them equal to yourself in talent and position, and, save yourself, not one has ever’ , called the WEEKLY an infamous paper. We should be extremely obliged if you would point out to us, and we know our readers would join with us in thanking you forp ointing out to them, wherein the WEEKLY has been guilty of teaching anything that should render it infamous. But if you have not read the WEEKLY, as we suspect is the truth, by what right do you, Dr. Bacon, go before the people and attempt to do injury to a paper of which you know nothing? Is it a part of your.Christianity to do this? We do notso readithel Bible. Your illustrious Master’s command was that “ye should love one another,” that “ye should do unto others as ye would that others should do unto you,” and Paul supplemented this by commanding, “If a man be overtaken in_a fault, ye which are spiritual restore such an one in a spirit of meekness; considering thyself lest thou also be tempted.” Now, Dr. Bacon, have you obeyed your-Master and his Apostle in calling us names without ﬁrst having endeavored to “restore” us? But we will notrefuse to be restored even now. We would even ask in a spirit of humility to be set right, if we have done any infamous thing; and to be shown wherein the WEEKLY has been infamous, so that we may in the future correct the evil of its ways. You should not pass by this appeal unheeded. The readers of the WEEKLY are held by you to be the worst class of people in the country, and you should not lose the opportunity now offered of showing them the errors of their ways. In the true Christian spirit we invite you to the task, and we will devote any part, or the whole, of the paper to you, for a week or a month, for this purpose. Let ‘ustrust that you may not be like the Levite mentioned by your Master as passing him by who . met with a misfortune as he went down from Jerusalem to Jericho. ' afford to let them have their own way about this. But‘ obliged: to serve him up “a Rasher of Bacon” in the ; WEEKLY. It seems that he was not satisﬁed with that; we that has no existence save in the brains of narrow-headed‘ justiﬁed in pronouncing so emphatically upon it, it certainly‘ FREE LOVE; One of the almost incomprehensible facts of social re- form, is the utter perversity of those who place themselves in opposition to freedom in lcontradistinction to slavery; who support slavery of the affections. Freedom, when used in connection with love, has precisely the same. sign niﬁcance, means just the same thing that it meanswhen applied to any other sentiment of the soul or conviction - of the mind. People who would be insulted ifthey were to be told that they do not kn ow wliatifreedom means when applied to thought, religion, or «a country, will, with the utmost nonchalance imaginable, pretend to think that it means something altogether different when applied to love. The Word, free, itself tells all there is to be told: about it. Free love is that love which is not in any way enslaved; not bound, not fettered, not held in servitude by anyla w, custom or power; that is not compelled by anything what- ever outside of its own God-given existence, to express it self; that cannot be made tolie byyany circumstances by which it may be surrounded; in short, it is love and not lust, for all love must be free, since it cannot be forced. A thing that is forced may still be" called by the name of love , but it is a self-evident fact that it is not love, butlust. Love - must exist independent of all law; free from all constraint and then it must be reciprocated by its object in the same way. If one love another, that is, has a physical, intellect. ual or spiritual outgoing of life for another, which is not accepted, which is repulsive andia. cause “of unhappiness to that other, but who still insists upon’ having satisfaction, is its object. Alove that would force’ itself up?‘on.its= object regardless of its objects happiness, wishes or desires, is purely self-love; is a love that endeavors to reduce its object to slavery in utter disregard of its happiness, comfort or, well- being. Any law, custom or power, therefore, that induces, compels or makes it possible for, people to, live tog_ether in what should be the holiest relation known. to man, in which either party endures any {unwished attentions, ._a,n;y, mani. festations of self-love which desires gratiﬁcatiou.rather:than to confer happiness, is a law, custom; or power that reduces love to slavery; or, in plain terms, changes love-~~to- lust; that licenses the one party to satisfy itsiselﬁshdesires at the expense of the prostitution of the body and the cruci- ﬁxion of the heart ofthe other party. Love‘exi_sts to confer happiness, and ever is and ever must befree; ilustiexisttsto gratify itself, and ever is and ever must be slavery- There can be no other love than free love. Anything. else that goes by the name of love is enforced lust. These are the alternatives, free love, or enforced lust. l Which will ye have? which will ye be? I Free Lovers or enf orced Lusters, for one or the other ye must be? There is no middle ground; there can be no third class in the relations of the sexes. Whoever declares that he or she is not a free lover, also de clares by implication that he or she is an enforced, luster. Let every free lover hereafter have the courage to "stick this title upon the back of every person _who den_ouuces,_fre,c- dorn for love. 7 ~ , . , . . LIFE-SIZE LITHO GRAPH. I graphs of Victoria C.

It paragraphs, punctuates, underscores and does ﬁgure W0rk——-in a. word, all things necessary to the production of a perfect manu- script.

DENSMORE, YosT & Co.: Gentlemenw-Having had the Type-Writer in use in my oliice during the past two years, I do not hesitate to express my conviction of its great value. Its best recommendation is simply to say that it is a complete xyritiiig machine. The work of writing can be done with it faster, easier and with a better result than is possible with the pen. The time required to learn its use is not worth mentioning in comparison with the advantages afforded by the machine. Yours truly ANSON STAGEB. What Governor Howard of Rhode Island says: PHENIX, R. I., March 27’, 1875. DENsMonE,' YosT & Co.: - Gentlemeu——We have now had the Type-Writer about a month, and are entirely satisfied with it. There can be no doubt in regard to its usefulness. When I saw the advertisement of the machine originally I had little faith in it. An examination surprised me, but not so much as the practical working has. We have no trouble whatever with it, and it is almost constantly in operation. I think that it must rank with the great beneﬁcial inventions of the century. Very truly yours, N HENRY HOWARD. « , A MORRISTOWN, June 29, 1875. DENSMORE, YosT ,& Co.'. I , Gem5lemen—The Type-Writer which I bought of you last March I have used ever since, and I wish to ex- press» my sense of- its very great practical value. In the ﬁrst place, it keepsin the most perfect order, never- failing in doing its work. I ﬁnd also, after having used it for four months, that I am able to write twice‘ as fast as with the pen, and with far greater ease. The mechanical execution has become so far instinc'.ive that it takes far less of the attention of the mind than was the case with the pen, leaving the whole power of the thought to be concentrated on the composition, the result of which is increased vigor and strength of expression. The result is also so far better than the old crabbed cliirography that, it is a great relief both to myself and to my correspondents. The sermons written in this way are readiwith perfect ease‘ by in- valids and those who for any cause are kept from church on Sunday. which ﬁlls a want oftenfelt by And’ altogether. if I could not procure another, I would not part with this machine for a thousand dollars; in fact, I think money is not,’ to be weighed against the relief of nerve and brain that it brings.

Dear Weekly——I am just from Galveston on my way North, and it is my pleasure to inform your readers, that, most un- expectedly to myself, I met Victoria in that city. We were stopping for two days in the same hotel, and 1 had to regret that fate would have it so that I was compelled to leave the city in the morning of the day she was to lecture at night. I have never seen Victoria. on the rostrum, and re- gard 1t as rather an ill stroke of fortune that deprived me of the rare opportunity when it was almost within my grasp. I have not seen her since my return from England. more than a year ago, when she was almost going through the valley of the shadow of death, and when she was in the midst of the ﬁre of persecution thrice heated. She seems in better health and spirits now, and well she may; for, what does not often fall to the lot of advanced thinkers, she is beginning to reap some reward of her efforts . She is coming into popular recognition all over the country. People are beginning to I earn that she had a purpose for the beneﬁt of humanity in her exposure of the Beecher business, and the developments of that rather mixed affair have had a tend- ency to establish faith in Victoria Woodhull, despite all the machinery of Satan set in motion to bolster up Beecher, and to destroy her. Few of Mrs. Woodhull’s friends and admirers would have thought it expedient for her to betake herself and her “ pecu- liar” views into the South; it would have seemed too much like bearding the lion inlhis den. But her triumphant course thus far has proved that Southern chivalry is not dead, and that receptivity is not swallowed up by prejudice in Southern intelligence. She has been granted not only respectful hear- ing wherever she has appeared, but in most instances her reception has amounted to an ovation, as though the people have been surprised to ﬁnd her an earnest, comely woman, telling them, with her heart upon her lips, plain truths about themselves in a plain and comprehensive manner. Especially has she taken the heart of the Southern woman by storm, for the fact of the inertia ‘of the women of this section has tended to make the upheaval all the more start- ling. If the Southern woman has been inactive, she has not been insensible; and the good seed Victoria is sowing is not falling upon barren soil here. Mrs. Stanton. to be sure, has been before her in this fruitful ﬁeld; but, as l judge from what women tell me, she had not the courage to speak out to both sexes; she lectured privately to ladies when she had her most important sexual truths to utter. Not so!Vi'ctoria. She knows that any sexual truth concerns both sexes alike; and as she has no idea of vulgarity in the matter, and apprehends no necessity for mawkishness, she speaks what she has to say to both sexes at once, and, judging from the reports from all the cities of the South where she has appeared, she has had a fair attendance of both men and women. Southern women are not given to maw— kishness to a great extent; they are, after all, much more independent in manners and less under the petticoat govern- ment of Mrs. Grundy than their sisters in the North, conse- quently they have not hung back,f1'_om Victoria’s lectures for fear Mrs. Grundy would not be there. They have determined to hear her, and the consequence is they have accepted her on sight ;_ for they have not heard a word drop from her lips that was not G-od’s truth, requiring no stretch of faith or imagination to believe; truth that each womanly soul has experienced some degree of in her own individual existence Neither are the men of the South backward in extending the right hand of fellowship. Their chivalrous sense recog- nizes the true soul of woman in Victoria ‘Woodhull, and the innate manhood of the true Southern gentleman is quick to ‘respond. They, too, know the truth she speaks to their per- verted powers. Men are not so steeped in the debauchery of ages but theythank the woman, who, for the sake of pure manhood and womanhood,‘holds.them up a mirror wherein they can see the inmost part of themselves, “such black and grained spots as will not leave their tinct.” While Victoria has it before her to imbue humanity with a. reverence for itself while she strives to teach the sacred uses of human functions, now, that she has gained patient hear- ing, she need not fear of meeting anywhere a less enthusias- tic welcome than the people of the South have accorded her. God speed her in the way of truth. ‘HELEN NASH. REASON, GOODNESS AND FIRMNESS. The inborn qualities of reason, goodness and ﬁrmness are the fundamental principles of a good mind. Goodness com-i prehends all virtues . Reason includes many kinds of ability. Firmness includes energy and courage. These three quali- ties are conscience, and they are reﬁnements. They are natural education or self-education. Without them book- learning would be undigested and useless. They are what make a good citizen and good voter, even if the person has no book-learning, and is unableto read. The character is good and great according to the degree it has of these qualities. Without goodness there can be no real greatness or ability. The highest degree of reason, goodness and ﬁrmness is a great mind and noble character—a commander and statesman. In other words, it is the military character, which is the perfec- tion of the human mind. Greatness is ability and virtue in great things. War and statesmanship are the greatest things. iThe greatest general is the greatest statesman. History pre- sents great warriors as almost the only persons who have founded empires, been able lawglvers, and raised nations to greatness. True warriors are the truest friends to peacef‘ superior to prosperity as they are to adversity. They are least liable of all men to abuse power or wrongfully assume it. They are always friends to equality and to the laboring peo- ple. Heroism’ is the sublimity of goodness. N 0 man of true military character ever overthrew a good government or injured the cause of freedom. Julius Caesar did not. The Roman people had already lost their freedom through the corruption of luxury and unequal wealth, and the aristocracy had usurped the political power. Caesar took the power out of bad hands into his own. His death by the hand of Brutus was, no doubt, a loss to the Roman people instead of a beneﬁt. Napoleon Bonaparte had no conﬁdence in re- publican governments, and there he was right. He abolished the form of it in France, but maintained equality. With him merit alone was the only nobility or road to promotion. He ‘thoroughly despised aristocracy. Undoubtedly the absolute government of such a man would be better than a republic. Instead of being made Emperor he ought to have abolished all artiﬁcial government and given nature a chance to govern France. He would have been the greatest benefactor the world ever knew. Unmilitary characters, with armies at their command, have often overthrown republics, usurped the sovereign power and enslaved the people. Napoleon the Little was the opposite of a military character. an aristocrat and tyrant by nature. He destroyed two republics,that of France and that of Mexico. The kings of Europe are not military characters, and they keep down their subj acts with large standing armies.. To be at the head of an army is one thing, to be born a. military character is another thing- Previous experience in government affairs is not necessary to a statesman, nor is book—learning. Cromwell, we know, had superior abilities as a statesman. He raised England to a height of greatness that she never saw before nor since. If he was a great statesman. it follows that he was a great war- rior. Bonaparte’s ability as a statesman was equal to his military talents. While at St. Helena he said that his fame with posterity would rest not on his military achievments but on the code of laws he drew up for France. His goodness was ‘equal to his ability, although in some things he was very unwise. * Washington was not a military character and statesman- not a great man-—although an honest one. Winﬁeld Scott was no general or statesman, and not much of a man. Grant is no military character or statesman. Wellington was not a military character nor a good man. In the war of the Rebel- lion the Union armies had but two genuine commanders within the knowledge of the writer: General Thomas and General Isaac J. Stevens. The United States have had but one President, Andrew Jackson; all the others were without efficiency in war or peace. Napoleon Bonaparte said that in all Italy, among a population of eighteen millions, he found only two men. Victoria 0. Woodhull comes near to being a military character. Garibaldi is a. true military character. His nobleness proves it. His enthusiasm of equality and en- thusiasm of truth prove his nobleness. He is a born enemy to aristocracy and priestcraft. ' The military character ‘is, extremely rare. It is doubtful whether more than oneznan in ten millions is one of them. 2 _/' Accordingly, very few persons can know and appreciate it, or distinguish who is one and who is not. The others judge only by success. People can comprehend only such persons as re’- semble ‘themselves. The parents of all true military men were superior persons. The writer of this comprehends it because he is one of them. His parents were the right kind of people for it. A chain of remarkable and adverse circum- stances, beginning in early youth, have alone prevented its display. These remarks concerning myself are addressed only to those who are worthy of them. They are only justice. People judge others according to what they are themselves. In that way I shall be judged by my readers. Aman’s opinion of others proves what he is himself. If we should “ see our- selves as others see us” we should appear to ourselves of different and contra colors. ‘ All examples in history agree with the decision of reason that generalship and statesmanship require the same qualities of mind. ELIPHALET KIMBALL. OXFORD, N. H. ..—.__— WINTER AND WOMAN’S nnnss. Friends of humanity, philosophers who can reason on a consistent method of robing the sacred and sensative human body, speak out your saving truths and lay them on the wings of the thousand steam—ﬂying newspapers, that the wanting may catch them at every point. Men and women who are left sane and sensible amid the demoralizing customs of this knowing, but sinning age, be brave, if possible, now, for the need of your counsel and encouragement is great. Every winter many women contract. diseases that make life a linger- ing period of misery, by insufficient protection against in- clemc nt weather. This needless loss of health and happiness must continue till they are taught that petticoats are but loads, not protection; that they make exercise so tiresome that women are indisposed to it in winter; hence those hav- ing leisure lose force by inaction, and those laboring exhaust under the double burden of toil. and a. perplexing weight fastened to their forms, more tedious than any work. Science, natural laws, indicate the only remedy for all this weariness in weights and fetters, all this female debility and incapacity, all this lack of time and means for culture, art, and all high use. No standard exists for the form of clothing, but the form to be clothed. The nearer dress follows the form, and shows by the easy loosen ess of its ﬁt that comfort and protection are- the objects sought, and decoration a ful dress must give full freedom of motion to every limb, full sway and swell to every limb, muscle and viscera. This can- not obtain in petticoats and corsets. Their use is unworthy present knowledge. iThe idea of healthful dress has so far reached the general mind that truth touching practicality can be understood without long explanations, and now, as ths cold season is come, and the more thoughtful of fashion’s devotees are advising necessary protection before style, let the truly-informed chime in with facts as to what is whole- some and adapted to the needs of the best development of womanhood. Women are awaiting the voice of the press and the people, many of them anxiously; not all are content in their physical bondage. An excellent feature of some of the city papers, the Tribune, for one.is an occasional, article daring to touch the topic of dress. As no reasonable approval or defence could be oﬁered for recent styles, silence accompanied the ﬂoods of fashion plates. When a few will speak for women’s and children’s chilled and abused legs, philanthro- pists will rejoice. These writers advised calf boots and shoes, ﬂannel drawers and canton ones over them, so that one light skirt would be enough. They probably see ﬁnally that skirts do little toward warming the body, especially the legs, and that trowsers or an equivalent is requisite beneath them. Several extra skirts cannot supply the need of one layer of fabric ﬁtted to the leg; their size and weight but encumber and fatigue the poor carriers. Let this ‘be taught; and when they see that it is a vulgar education as ‘well as awicked fraud that has curtainedqand crippled the’ beautiful locomo- tive system, they will ﬁndit easy to drop" the shackles and move forth in grace and grandeur; elasticity of gait will take the place of heaviness, joy of spirit will supplant sadness, bloom of health will put to shame skin-destroying paints, and self-sustaining ability, bless them with something like realized independence. , . ~ MARY E.

Editor lVee7tly———One of the most rational ﬁnancial dis- fserta-tions that I have'yet seen inﬁprint is that which appeared ‘in a recent number of your paper onthe question. Who pays the public expenses?” Similar to it was an editorial in the New York I-Iemld about the same time, headed “the bottom fact on whiskey. The former demonstrated the serious dis- ' advantages that grow out of an excessively stupid or wil- fully wicked, or both, ﬁnancial‘system, while, the latter exhibited the woful and shameful results of party Vpolicy and class‘ legislation. To this journal (the Herald) great credit is due for having done more perhaps than any other within the last ten years in exposing and denouncing the wholesale land and money subsidies by Congress to railway and mail monopolies, and the national "banks, ‘whose system of business annually absorbs about ﬁfty millions of the peoples’ money. ' With its party platforms and party measures, created in the interests of political aspirants, the country for the last thirty or forty years has been a house divided against itself, until ﬁnally its industries and business interests are threatened with disaster and general ruin. High tariff and bank notes on one side, with free trade and specie payments on the other, have been the cry; and these measures or principles, with their multifarious offshoots, have all been descanted upon by public speakers and writers, ad inﬁnitum, according to their respective party predilections. Consequently,legislation in Congress and in the State capitals has been for the interests of the party in the as- cendent, whatever may have been the actual needs and requirements of the country at large; the policy having been in most cases to select men for. this purpose, who, though unlit either in ability or in moral, and patriotic principles, or both, were ready and willing to make a. party pledge, and obey the party behests. ‘Hence have arisen. all the bank, railway and other monopolies, with Credit Mobilier, whisky, canal and municipal contract thieves, whose chief object and aim have been to plunder as much as possible, and perpetuate party power. Financial essays innumerable have been writ- ten and published, and meetings have been called and held at public places like the Cooper Institute. Merchant’s EX- change, etc., here and elsewhere, at which our so—called leading and inﬂuential men have, discussed this and that measure relating to the tariff‘ and the currency, and yet they don’t seem to know that they are only trying to prune the upper twigs and branches, while the roots of the tree are being consumed by worms and dryrot. One morning last winter, when passing up Wall street, I was met by a ﬁne, intelligent-looking man, who accosted me with the question, “What building is that?” I informed him it was the Custom House. He then asked if there wasn’t an Assay Office somewhere there? I told him Yes, and where it was. “ Well,” said he, “ they are great institu- tions, aint they? but they don’t seem to be of much use, while we out west, in California and thereabouts, produce ﬁfty millions of gold and silver per annum, sixty or more millions are drained out of the country in the same time ‘for the beneﬁt of foreign bondholders.” And with a swing of his hand as he passed along, he added, “ there must be a stop put to it before long.” I And he told no lie. When we abolish national pet banks and substitute for their. currency redeemable and exportable government greenbacks; shut down on government subsidies to railway and other monopolies; legislate a little for the interest and encouragement of the laboring classes who fur- nish all the golden eggs, and not so much for making the rich richer. and the poor poorer, so that enough gold and grain, cotton and wool may be produced to pay off the national debt some time or other; spend more money at home for what may be requisite, and less abroad in the way of fashionable distinction and aristocratic nonsense; put down all political sinecures and vampires, and hang all ﬁnancial as well as horse thieves, then may we look for an era of renewed con- ﬁdence and activity in all industrial and commercial in- terests. In these days of speculating combinations of middlemen and ‘forestallers, whose unrelenting exactions even for the necessaries of life are alike odious and oppressive, sumptuary laws should be enacted to protect the poor, if no others, from their rapacious aggressions. - The law of supply and demand is of no account in such respects. _ Then in order to avoid a recurrence of the savings-bank swindles which have afflicted the poorer people during the last few years, proper liabilities and penalties should be im- posed on all stockholders and officials of such institutions. History relates, that in China, about three hundred years ago, a swindling bank failure occurred. The result of it was, all the oﬁicials of the institution were decapitated, and their heads thrown aside along with their waste and worthless papers. Since that time, ﬁnancial failures, with appearances of fraud, have not been known in that particular country. The foreign bondholders and our national banks, which absorb ahundred millions annually of the peoples’ substance, are two great evils which neither a paper currency nor a. hard money system can abate; and while our law makers are igno- rant, selﬁsh and venal, those maleﬁc institutions will continue to be a drain upon our resources, and an insurmountable obstacle to our progress. Laws must be passed for the beneﬁt of the many as well as the few, so that the already rich may not be specially made richer at the expense of the poor. And, unless something to this effect shall be accomplished, it will, indeed, seem as if “a bridle has already been put into men’s mouths causing them to err. , STYCA. CO—OPERATIVE HOTEL. I desire to obtain a hotel or suitable house in an accessi- ble, but not aristocratic, part of the city of New York, to be operated on the co-operative plan. ,1. The total rent of the hotel is to be levied upon all the rooms, public and private, according to the location and quality of the rooms, with ﬁve per cent. added to the total sum. * » ,_/_/ 2. The total rental of the public rooms is to be divided equally between the private rooms, ' 3. The restaurant and laundry is put to eo—operators at cost price with ﬁve per cent. added. 4. There will be no liquors sold on the premises, but cigars and tobacco may be sold in the restaurant. " 5. The government of the house will be under a master, who places each department under. its proper superinten- ’dent. I 6. All officers and agents will receive pay for services ren- dered, nothing for the oﬂiceor position. 7 The rules for the government of the house will be just as arbitrary as in any hotel. 8. All outsiders will be charged the usual city prices in the establishment. 9. All bills will be paid in advance.’ 10. Daily receipts will be cancelled by cheeks, receipt or vouc_hers with tlietreasurer at a stated hour each day. 11. At the end of each month, all dividends arising from the ﬁve per cent. margin and outside patronage will be di- vided among the co-operators in proportion to the amount each one has paid into the establishment. . 12. No party can become a co-operator for a less time than one month. - * 13. This is not intended to be ‘a money making, but a money saving, concern. All parties who can participate in this money saving con- cern willplease éorrespoiid with G. W. Madox, 29 Broadway, New York City, and, if an answer is required, enclose stamp. VVINTER. ' It is a chilly day. The sun hath hid Himself behind the clouds that vail the sky; There is no beam that warms the frigid ﬁelds; All that which once my gazing eye well pleased, Looks drear-aye, all the streams that late ﬂowed on Throughmeadows decked with ﬂowers and rattled oc’r Their pcbbly beds, coiyigeal and turn to ice. But just. above my dwelling climbs the smoke, And forms a haze outspread portending storm. The glowing ﬂames that heat the ﬁreplace hot, Scarce warmme; all is chill; the whistling winds Forewarn that soon the snow will ﬁll the air, And whiten all the tract that stretches wide. The forest groans and utters forth such sounds As tell that winter wields his tyrant rod. Methinks he now comes forth with hoary head; I For ’mong the trees I see thick falling round, Like leaves in autumn, loosened by the wind, The ﬂakes of snow that dress in white the ground. Oh, chilling potentate! thy coming stay; . Do hear my prayer; no more my limbs bcnumb. Ah, me! how ruthless; sure ’tis that amidst Bis blustering and storm he hearcth not! See here the dim horizon that, afore, The distance arched as far as eye could ken, Encircles less and less of far-off look. I hear a sound as if the storm ’s more ﬁerce; ’Tis so; it comes and buries deep in banks The walls and fence that line the highway side, And herds and ﬂocks, if chance they be unstsxlled. Whose lotit is to be abroad such time,. Must move with wary steps, else lose the way. See how the sleet blovs s on from drift to drift; Mark how the lawn appears deep-clad in snow; What change in landscape scene the storm doth make 1 The Wind, without a. lull, sweeps through the woods; Anon is heard its roar; then dismal noise Of creaking branches writhed and tossed in air; The tall old elm that high o’ertops my cot, Around whose trunk and limbs the frosts of years On years have wrapped a garb quite colorless, Bows down his lofty top, and seems to shake The snow from off his leaﬂess, pendant boughs. Before my windows whirl the yellow leaves That fell from shrub and tree, incopse, or grove. The storm king regnant, rules in rage the hour, Full clad in royal robes of icy web, With locks all powdered o’er with crystal snow 1 Tie winter I lo, all nature hath a mcin That saddens, and an aspect void of cheer.‘, But why complain I thus of winter’s looks? The solar orb shall soon unvail itself, Effui gent rays again beam brightly forth, The distant hills once more in sight appear, The joyful jingling bells dispel the gloom, And all the town become a gladsome scene I —Dr. Horace ])7*e.9ser. C A NEVV OPPONENT TO THE THIRD TERM. For the last year there has been traveling through the South 2. Dr. J. W. Shiveley, said to be a Worsliipper of the Sun, alter the order of the old Fire ‘Worshippers, who is a self-nominated candidate for the succession. If there is not much method i.n his style, there is, nevertheless, some sound sense in”his method. VVherever he goes he talks to the people, and distributes his circulars, from which we extract the following as a curious evidence of “ truth in the rough:” PROCLAMATION. This is a copy of my New Banking System and my New Declaration of Independence, or bill of Human Rights, which I propose that we, the sovereign people of these United States, shall adopt as our campaign platform, for this, our Centennial Presidential Campaign of 1876; and as one of the free, independent sovereign people of these United States of America, I herewith issue this Proclamation to all the sovereign people, and call upon them to meet in -mass meet- ings in all the villages, towns and cities, on the first day of April, 1876, to ratify this Proclamation and my New Banking System and bill of Human Rights, and appoint delegates to meet in national convention in Chicago, on the ﬁrst of June, or in Philadelphia, on the ﬁrst of July, to nominate candi- Mar. is, 1375. dates for President and Vice-President; and this Proclama-, tion is unto all the sovereign people—-to the Jews and the Gentiles, Catholics and the Protestants, Spiritualists, Free Thinkers and Inﬁdels; the Masons, Odd Fellows, Working Unions, Mechanics, Farmers and Grangers, all, male and female, to meet in mass meeting, on the ﬁrst day of April, in this, our Centennial year, 1876,-——meet in national conven- tion to organize the sovereign people’s party, which shall be called the Universal Brotherhood of the Human Family or human race. And such it shall be. With the wise Old Shiva for president and for —— vice—president, victory is ours; and truth, justice, charity, love and mercy, humanity and honor bright shall rule and govern, and our new party shall be in truth, and fact, and deed, a universal brotherhood of the human family, unto which all the people ofthis earth can come into brotherhood with the sovereign people of these United States. Yours respectfully, J. .W. SHIVELEY. BILL OF RIGHTS AND NEW BANKING SYSTEM. Claiming the right of individual sovereignty for myself and for all the people of these United States of America. male and female. I herewith oﬁer myself as a candidate for President of the United States in 1876 upon the following great fu nda— mental principles of government: Individual sovereignty, equal rights, and universal liberty in all things for all per- sons, male and female. _ And as our fathers claimed in the Declaration of American Independence: ‘ “ We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all persons have an inalienable right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,” and to secure these rights governments are insti- tuted by the people. - And we _hold that all ‘persons have an equal right to ‘the land and the water and the air, and to all the good things that they can gather therefrom by their own toil and labor; that they are the gifts of the Creator, the God of the Uni- iverse, unto all. And we hold that no person. nor any com- bination of persons, company or corporation shall claim or hold any lauds, only what they can cultivate or use for build- ing upon, or for manufacturing pursuits. And we hold that all this hue—and-cry about a specie basis and a specie pay~ ment is all a humbug and a swindle. ’ And we claim and hold that the only way to secure a true principle of ﬁnance that shall never change, never depreciate. is: Let the government of the people—the Government of these United States of America—-issue four or ﬁve hundred thousand millions of greenbacks, or one, two. or three billions of greenbacks, with the right and the power to make and in- crease it to ﬁve or ten billions, if the manufacturing and the business transactions of the people should call for so much. And let the Government of the United States issue "United States bonds to the same amount, with a law and interest at- tached to them, like the laws of the Medes and the Persians that never change. " With a law establishing banking houses in all the towns and cities, counties and villages throughout the United States, place the greenbacks and bonds in these banks, and ap— point agents to transact and do the business of these banks for the Government and people. and to loan out the green- backs to all persons who may want them, at an interest of from to 4% per cent. on the dollar to all who can give real estate, houses, and lots as security, or the bonds, and security of persons that have real estate to give; and all the agents of these banks must give real estate as security for all the green- backs and United States bonds placed in their banks. And any and all persons who get more greenbacks than they can use in their business or loan out to others at 3% to 4%- interest, can take them to the banks at any time and exchange them for the United States bonds, and draw 2% per cent. on the dollar for the full amount of the bonds, which they can return to the banks and get grcenbacks for again at any time. This will give the people plenty of money at all times, and a cheap and unchanging banking system, and will bring into the government of the people a suﬁicient revenue to pay all the expenses of the Government, and kill off all the money rings, and gold corners, and ﬁnancial explosions and smash- ups. The specie basis and the specie payment is all ahumbug and a swindle that all sane, sound, reasoning minds ought to be able to see and know to be; such gotten up expressly for the bulls and the bears of the money rings and money corners, money gamblers and ﬁnance smashers. . Yours respectfully, Pnor. J. W . SIIIVELEY. ALEXANDRIA, VA. BILL OF RIGHTS. ACADEMY or MUsIo, PHILADELPHIA, N ov. 16th, 187 . “A New Declaration of Independence of the Equal Rights and the Individual Sovereignty of all Mank1nd,,male and female.” By Prof. J. W. Shiveley, of Alexandria. Va. 1. “ We hold these trnths to be self-evident, that all man- kind ”——male and female——" are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights: that among these are life, liberty, individual sovereignty,” and the pursuit of happiness; that to secure these rights gov- ernments are instituted by mankind, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. _ And whereas, the land, and the water, and the air, and the sunshine, and light are the free gifts of our Creator unto all mankind, male and female; family, male and female, are, and of right ought to be, free and individual sovereigns at the age of sixteen, with equal rights in all things—-in the land, and the water, and the air, and the sunshine; with equal political and civil rights before the law and in the courts: and the righ.t to vote and to be voted for, and to hold oﬂiice, and the right of free speech, and a free press, free religion and free love, and the right to work, and to get and hold property; and the right to love and to make love, and to enjoy that love with any and all persons consenting thereunto; the right to choose their own love- mates and husbands and wives, to marry and make their own marriage contracts, and the right to dissolve and repudiate them again, when they do not and cannot ﬁndlove and union, peace, enjoyment, contentment and happiness therein. 3.

J .,W. SHIVELEY. W'HO PAYS THE EXPENSES? Under the above heading appears an article in your paper issued February 26th, containing so much truth, and at the same time so much error, that I am constrained to reply to that part which appears to me an unwarranted assump- tion, viz: “Is it any wonder, then, that the bond holders and money lenders are unanimously in favor of retiring the greenbacks and issuing more national currency? If there were 9,’51,000,000,000 more national currencyissued, they would draw from the industrial classes $60,000,000 or more per an- num as interest, because if this currency were issued the banks would have to deposit that much in bonds with the Treasury, on which they would draw $30,000,000 from the Government, and then they would loan the currency for as much more.” . First. I would say from positive knowledge, that the money lenders and bond holders are not unanimously in favor of retiring the greenbacks and issuing more national‘ currency. On the contrary, many of them, and I think, a large majority of the people above referred to, are strenu- ously opposed to reducing the greenbacks below such a point as will place them at par with gold. As to‘ the proposition to increase the currency one billion dollars, I believe that if our currency, or demand obligations, whether issued by Government or national banks, should be increased to that \ ﬁgure they would not be worth the paper they were printed 0111. It is generally conceded by the best ﬁnanciers in the country that the national banks have already more currency than they can proﬁtably, and at the same time safely, ﬂoat; as an evidence of this fact, an examination of the report of the Comptroller of the Currency for the year 1875, shows that during the last year a great many national banks, from all parts of the country, have voluntarily thrown up their charters, sold their bonds and retired their currency, be- cause there was no longer any proﬁt in keeping the same. Within the last Week one of the strongest banks in this city, at a meeting of their directors, unanimously resolved to withdraw from circulation one-half of their entire issue, and the probabilities are that the balance will be taken in within the coming year. Second. If the national bank circulation should be in- creased, wo are told that the taxes would also be increased, because the banks would have to deposit the same amount of bonds with the Government, on which they would draw in- terest. The fallacy of this kind of reasoning becomes apparent when we consider the fact that these Government bonds were not created for the especial accommodation of the na- tional banks, or for any other holder of the same, but, like all other evidences of indebtedness, they were given for the beneﬁt of the debtor. During the war this Government got out of money; the people,” including «most all capitalists banks and bankers and particularly savings banks, who held largely the savings of the poor, came forward and loaned to the United States Government, taking in exchange the Gov- ernment promises to pay at a ﬁxed time (or at the pleasure- of the debtor at any time before maturity), and at a ﬁxed rate of interest, mostly payable in coin. From time to time ‘ many of these promises, or Government bonds, have changed hands and have been sold in the open market, as the people could agree, like all other evidences of debt. When the national banks went into operation, like other investors, their managers went into the open market and bought their bonds at theirpmarket value, and deposited them with the Treasury as collateral security to their circu- lation. A The Government is justly indebted to the holder of its bonds for their face value and the interest as it becomes due, consequently it is immaterial whether such interest be paid to banker, broker, or private individual. It the national banks derive a bBl.lE3_f_li3 from the Govern- ment for their charter, or circulation, we should remember that they pay back to the Government and to the people in extra taxes fully as much as such beneﬁts are worth, and many of our best and most practical ﬁnanciers think a great deal more, otherwise they would not surrender their national bank charters and reorganize into State banks, as -they are doing all over the country. The third and last proposition which I shall now consider is, “ Let the manufacturers exert . their inﬂuence with Congress to have the national bank act repealed, and the Government to issue greenbacks enough to pay oﬂ the bonded debt and stop the immense interest.” Before issuing the two billions of greenbacks necessary to pay oif the bonded debt, let us stop to inquire what are green- backs ? « Strictly speaking, greenbacks are paper evidences of in- debtedness, which the United States Government has forced the people within the limits of said Government to accept at par in payment of all debts (except duties on imports and interest on the public de_bt), contracted prior to the issue of such greenbacks. Although they have been and are still received as a iegal tender, yet they have never passed for a single day at par, except in the paymentof debts contracted before they were issued. All subsequent contracts have been made upon a basis of the specie value of greonbacks. During the late war we have seen gold quoted at a pre- mium varying from one per cent. to nearly three hundred per cent. But this is not true. Gold has remained compara- tively stationary, having fluctuated less than any other known commodity; and for this very reason gold has been selected by all nations of the globe as a standard measure of values or medium of exchange. Greenbacks have ﬁuctuated in value during the last twelve years all the way from ninety-one cents down to thirty-ﬁve cents on the dollar; hence, to attempt to measure values with greenbacks, with out having a ﬁxed price for the greenbacks in gold or some other commodity which the world recognizes, is as uncertain as to attempt to measure land or cloth with a rubber string- It is a fact acknowledged by the world, that the present dis- count on our greenbacks is because the United States Gov- ernment is at present unable to redeem them at par in gold. By comparing the average‘ price of greenbacks in gold with the volume of such greenbacks in circulation during the last twelve years, we ﬁnd that an increase of the same has always caused them to be worthless on the dollar, while a decrease of the greenbacks has always enhanced their value. To pay off the present bonded indebtedness of the United States in greenbacks, is simply to ask the present holdersof said bonds, both at home and abroad, to surrender a Govern- ment promise to pay at a particular time a speciﬁed sum of money (not paper), with interest, at a speciﬁed rate per cent. 7 payable semi-annually in gold, for a paper promise to pay in paper at no particular time. and without interest, redeema- ble only in paper promises to pay. Really, is this anything more or less than simply repudia- tion? J. W. T.

It has been clearly shown in our present series of leading articles that it repre- sents the coming blending together of the inhabitants of the earth and spirit spheres in a common brotherhood, and ‘the establishment thereby of the universal human family. It also represents still another and more important truth which has not yet been introduced, but w/hich,.deﬁned in a few words, is, God in man reconciling the world unto Himself We adopt this diagram as emblematic of our future work FRADULENT MATERIALIZATIONS. We have a dozen or more articles which have been received from time to time since the phenomena of materializations began to occur, which are called expositions of mediumistic frauds. We have never published any of them, although some of them bear the signatures of highly respected and wholly responsible people; people who would not bear false witness, and who, with all, are deeply interested in Spiritual manifestations, and would have been glad to have given their testimony upon the opposite side in these mat- ters. We have refrained from taking any position which might be called one of warfare against any class of mediums, knowing too well what are the inﬂuences under which all mediums, necessarily, may be brought; for, to be a medium, in the popular sense, especially to be a public medium for tests, presupposes a variety of influences and conditions, against which the individuality of mediums, let it be as strongly honest as it may, cannot always stand. It is not necessary to go into detail to show what may be the inducements to produce manifestations, where they do not come otherwise. They will suggest themselves to every Spiritualist, and probably have done so to all of any depth of mind at all, or of any considerable breadth of under-. standing and observation. If there is a class of people en- titledto the enlightened consideration of considerate people, that class is the so-called mediums. We have always re- cognized this, and have never, in any way, pursued so- called frauds. But while we have not done this, when it was evident that frauds lrad been perpetrated, neither have we attempted to build up;_or uphold them, as has been true of some Spiritualists and their journals. Our personal experience ‘ among mediums, especially those claiming Amaterializing power, has not been small. It is true that we have never been to Moravia or to the “Eddys;” but our experiences outside of them have been uniformly of one kind, and that not favorable for the reality of the manifestations. We have not hesitated to affirm constantly, and we have so stated editorially, that a fully materialized spirit is as yet an impossibility, because the conditions in which it is possible to fully materialize do not yet exist. Materializations are produced by natural means, under the guidance of law, and we have been shown what that law is. We do not deny that there have been partial materializations, say of the hand, face or arm; but we must confess that we have never seen them occur in the presence of mediums for so-called materializations, although we have been frequently invited to see them. We are sorry to say it, but our regard for the truth compels us to do so, that, if we have any spirit sight at all, all the manifestations called materializations, that we havefwitnessed were not what they purported to be. We have been led to refer to this matter at the present time by a communication which we published last week, signed by Mr. Cadwallader etal. We know Mr. Cadwallader to be an honest, conscientious man; one who is an earnest seeker after truth, and who would not lend himself to anything of this kind if he were _not thoroughly satisﬁed that he is right; and neither he nor those with whom his name appears, was at Terre Haute to expose Mrs. Stewart. They were there at great expense to themselves to obtain satisfactory evidence that materializations are a fact. And their observations were conducted as friends to the medium and not as “exposers” of frauds. But for our reason for saying now what, we do, and for departing from our usual practice regarding mediums. We were once present at a seance where this same Mrs. Stewart (or at least‘, we suppose her to be the same, the one to whom we refer being the Mrs. Stewart for whom Mr. Pence, of Terre Haute, had for some time vouched, by an offer of $1,000 to any one who would demonstrate that her material- izations were fraudulent) was completely‘ exposed, and where she admitted to the assemblage that her manifesta- tions were fraudulent. We have been appealed to by several who were present at that time to make the facts public, but, for the reason before given, we have never felt like doing so until now. This scene occurred during the sessions of the Convention in Chicago in September, 1873. The room in which Mrs. Stewart was holding -;_ her seances was in the same block of buildings in which G1'ow’s Opera House is located. Those who were managing the seance urged us to attend and superintend the preparations. We objected and said that they would be sorry if they pressed us; that we had no wish to interfere with their arrangements, but if they insisted, we would do as they wished. There were some forty per- sons present, many of them well-known names in Spirit- ualistic circles, and some from Terre Haute, where Mrs. Stewart is staying, contrary to her promise at that time,_ carrying on her trade. It is not necessary to go into the details, but, suffice it to say that the seance ended as stated above, with a complete exposition of its fraudulent char- acter, and the production to the astonished gaze of all present of all the paraphanalia with which she had pro- duced several_diﬁ'erent spirit forms, who were recognized bysome of those present astheir friends from the spirit world. If we remember correctly, no form was produced but what was required by some one as a spirit ‘;friend or relation. When the fraud had proceeded sufficiently to make it palpable to all present, the cabinet was upset and the medium seen plainly personating the last spirit with all the mechanical appliances that was necessary upon her; and all those that had been recognized to produce the pre- ceding spirits also about her. She acknowledged the fraud and promised faithfully that she would never practice deception again. Mr. Pence and the other Terre Haute P9°P1e,Who are keeping her to humbug the public and in- ducing people to go to the expense of a long journey to pay her money for what, we have no doubt, are the same mani- festations that she presented in Chicago, are the responsible Parties in this business now, because knowing what occurred at Chicago, it will hardly be good logic for them to say that, While the Chicago manifestations were fraudulent, those which she produces now are genuine. In the present state of this case we do not see how those Spiritualists from Terre Haute who were present and saw the exposition at Chicago can any longer be parties to this fraud, which by their silence they become; nor how they can stand by and see the promise Mrs. Stewart made them at Chicago, daily broken. ‘ [Just as we are going to press a letter is received from one of “ the three,” who now vouch for and defend Mrs. Stewart, who was at the Chicago ercpose. This letter ac- knowledges that that was a fraud. We take this OPPO1" tunity to say that we cannot be intimidated from speaking on a matter in which we have at last felt it to be a duty to speak. Having received this letter, we shall have more to say about this questionable business next week, since they have felt it to be necessary to resort to such means to seal our lips. In the meantime, will these who were present- at Chicago, under whose notice this may fall, please corn- municate with us] D--4 .—>——4 EDITORIALLY PERSONAL. VVc are obliged this week, to goto press without our usual editorial matter.

The managing editor has been temporarily disabled from duty by a surgical operationfor an old injury received while in the army, which could not be longer neglected with impunity. He will probably be at his post in time for next week’s issue. A new series of Bible exigeses, more searching and approach- ing nearer to the vital points than anything /previously given, will be begun in the next paper, which will also con- tain reviews of several articles in the present number. ——-———————>—4Q>——<——————- LIFE-SIZE LITHO GRAPH. ._._.. We are now prepared to ﬁll all orders for life-size litho- graphs of Victoria C. Woodhull, from the lithographic establishment of Armstrong & Co., of Boston, Mass. They are splendid pictures, both as a work of art and as like- nesses. They are printed on heavy paper 20 X24 inches, and specially adapted for framing. They will -be sent post- paid, securely wrapped to guard against damage, to any address for 50 cents. The common price of lithographs of this size is $2 ; but we have arranged with the publisher to furnish them in large quantities at such rates that they can be resold at the price named without loss to us. They are thus put within the means and reach of everybody who desires to have a splendid life-size portrait of the Editor-in- Chief of the WEEKLY, who has devoted her life wholly to the inauguration of a new dispensation on earth, in which misery, vice and crime shall have no place. In reply to many letters asking for " dealer’s terms” we would say that the lithographs may be ordered by express by the half dozen, dozen, or more at 40 cents, the usual price, less the postage. In explanation of the delay that has occurred in sending lithographs we would say that the third edition has been delayed, but will be received within a day or two, when all orders will be ﬁlled.—[MANAGING EDITOR]. 4‘ 4 7 iv’ .

Besides it is getting to be something more than a Spiritualist at work, after the style of those who declare the social re- lations not germane to Spiritualism, as will be seen by the following declaration of faith which we copy from the last number: We believe in monogamy, or marriage, but hold that mar- riage grants no rights to one contracting party not shared by the other. The husband has no right whatever to coerce sex- ual relations with his wife, under the marriage contract.

All of their acts governed by and through love, and any condition outside of this is irregular and oﬁensive to good society, to law, love and order. Men and women, under these conditions, will not have a wife in one place, a mistress in another, and aﬁinities in every town they may happen to be. Let us have a. true marriage under law, founded on love, and then there will be no need of divorce courts. We hope that Mr. Wilson may sometime see that, where there is law without love, lust is the legitimate result. If love should be the dominant quality in marriage, then law should be made dependent upon love; but the present law andlpractice is precisely the reverse of this, and gives the husband the legal right to assault the wife, and there is no law of which she can take advantage to defend herself. The Spiritualists of the great Northwest should see that the Spirizzoalist at Work does not faint by the way. POST OFFICE REFORMS. / T0 the Editors of the Weelcly :- I , Permit me to call the attention of your readers to a letter on the above subject, copied from the Bayside Ifomet. It -contains an endorsement of the position taken by the WEEKLY, and will form a prelude to further reﬂections I propose to make on the subject. It is as follows: “I am a poor man, and have little time to spare for literary pursuits. I purchase the few periodicals I read at news stores, and receive none through the public mail. Sometimes, how- ever, I send letters through the post, and Uncle Sam carries them for me, charging me, for such service, three cents per half ounce. I understand that he distributes vast quantities of matter in printed form, issued weekly or oftener, by petted publishers and newspaper proprietors, at two cents per pound, while, for my letters, he demands ninety—six cents, or thirty- two times more from me than from them for a similar service. This may seem just to my servants at Washington, but, from my standpoint, it has a very different aspect, therefore I feel justiﬁed in writing this letter complaining of governmental partiality in the case above mentioned. For the life of me I cannot perceive why I, and thousands, if not millions of poor men like myself, should be assessed for the beneﬁt of rich publishers; neither can I admit the immoral claim of Congress to make invidious distinctions in the mail service between rich and poor American citizens. and to tax the latter for the beneﬁt of the former. For my- self, I never pass a large publishing house but I mentally calculate how many of the bricks of which it is built have been paid for by the proceeds of the governmental robbery practiced upon me. And, while I censure Congress for such wrong doing, I also deplore the meanness of the wealthy knaves who are willing to accept the results of such legisla- tivepilferings, and who do not feel called on by their honor to repel the proffered favor with contempt and scorn. For surely it would be more excusable for publishers to solicit aims in the public streets of our cities (for What they would then obtain from the poor would be gratuitously given) than to revel, as many of them now do, in luxuries obtained by such high-handed legal robbery. . Of course, I shall be set down by unthinking people as an “ignoramus” for writing this letter. Such will say, “Why, the man wants to stop the spread of enlightenment among us;” but I dispute the truth of such statement. I assert, on the contrary, that now most of our daily papers are engaged in spreading crime among us, and that their columns are now largely monopolized by the doings of the idle, vicious and criminal classes. As to the fancy periodicals, I fail to per- ceive in them any improvement on the light literature of the past, and do not hesitate to declare that most of their tales of ﬁction tend more to the derangement and demoralization of society than its improvement. v I admit that, at rare intervals, such papers publish praiseworthy articles, butI claim that their general drift is evil, and that their instructions mainly tend to generate vice and crime among our people. But, were they all new translations of the Bible instead of ne wspapers. the excellence of their contents would form no ground of justiﬁcation for my oppression, nor sanction the tyrannical action of Congress in robbing me for the purpose of sending other peopie’s goods at my expense through the public mails. I repeat, at my expense, because it. is manifest that my res- pected relative, Uncle Sam, ﬁnding the carrying of goods for publishers at two cents apound a proﬁtless business, taxes me three thousand one hundred per cent. more than he does them, in order to make up the deﬁcit in his exchequer. This I object to as being reprehensibleboth in its economical and moral aspects. while politically it is unworthy of longer toleiation in our Republic. Yours respectfully, , PETER POSITIVE.” I confess I like the directness of Peter's argument, and can ﬁnd no inaccuracy in his reasonings. This being so, I propose to enforce the position he has taken. Out of the primal in- justice practiced by Congress in making the discrimination complained of, has sprung of late the system of postal espionage, instituted by Congress, and committed by it to the charge of agents of the Y. M. C. A. alias the modern American Inquisition. By such means the proprietors of the WEEKLY have been cruelly, and according to the decision of U. S. Judge Blatchford, illegally deprived of their liberty and foully wronged and persecuted in mind, body and estate. By a similar intrigue, utterly unworthy of the dignity of law, Mr. Lant has since then been arrested, and is now suf- fering in prison. It is no wonder that thoughtful editors who respect the liberty of the press and the freedom of the public mind, are complaining of the high-handed tyranny -thus exhibited, and that many are speculating as to who is to be-the next victim our modern Torquemadas will select to put to the torture. B Of course these evils have arisen out of the injustice com- plained of by Peter, viz., the discrimination made by Con- gress "in the prices for carrying certain kinds of matter through the public mails.‘ This necessitated inspection, and on that inspection has been grafted the meanest system of postal espionage the world has ever witnessed. The true way -to annihilate it is to destroy the system which gave it birth, and Peter Positive has exposed the viilainy of the latter so thoroughly that no words of mine are needed to en- force that part of the subject of postal reform. But there is another view to be taken of the matter. About thirty years ago the penny postal system was introduced in Great Britain by Rowland Hill. That great reform has since been accepted and instituted by many-civilized nations, and has done more to secure the stability of the government of that nation than ﬁfty Waterloos. Congress has it in its power to add to the uniformity then established, the further and grander reform of uniformity of price for all mailed mat- ter. Monarchicai England did well in advancing as far as it did;_ it is a country of castes, and could not be expected to repudiate classiﬁcations entirely in its postal arrangements. But all the reasons which have well proved the correctness of the calculations of Rowland Hill can be cited in favor of the further reform here demanded. Added to these it is our duty to remember that we are a Republic, and that the ad- mission of the idea of classiﬁcation among us was an error, and that its continuation, after our experience, ought now only to be regarded as a crime. That the oppressed and over- charged_ citizens among us are mainly the poor and the un- learned only aggravates the offence Congress has committed against justice, for such among us especially need the defence of the laws, and would and will ever obtain. protection from all our honest legislators. A R. W. HUME. SAVE THE REPUBLIC. Nineteen centuries ago a young Jewish mechanic, ignorant, humble and lowly, yet meditative, sympathetic and earnest withal, crazed at the sight of his native land. beneath the Roman heel, maddened by the arrogance of wealth, the power of mammon, the sickly pallor of virtue’s check, the death of patriotism, the birth of book-religion, the greed and tyranny of the priesthood, the rabies of the politician for plunder, the degradation of woman, the elevation of bad men to high places, the wine-bibbing, the gluttony, the simony, the sodomy, the putrid Lazarus and the perfumed Dives, broke out into that terriﬁc denunciation: Woe unto you, scribes, pharisees. hypocrites, blasphemers, fanatics, money« changers, adulterers, evil-workers, worshippers of Mammon, woe unto you, your hour has come! Better were it for you that mill-stoneshad been slung. about your necks and ye cast into the sea! Your hour has come! Ye shall cumber the earth no more. Alas, it was too late. The lightning oi his breath fell on gangrene; there was no searing it into life. There was but one answer to his arguments, that they gave him—-death. ‘ Mark the result! Out of the womb of that event has sprung that monster, ecclesiasticism, which, with claws of iron and nails of steel, has fastened itself upon the white throat of fair humanity. See what ﬂowed forth when that spear was withdrawn! The simple Words of peace and love that this young teacher murmured in the ears of his friends on the hillocks, under the trees, beneath the clear sky, have been perverted, twisted, distorted into the mysterious jargon of litany and introit, credo and doxology, sacrament and ac- tual presence. In the name of this earnest, simple—minded Hebrew youth, who cursed the gorgeous temple, cursed the priesthood, cursed the prayer—monger, cursed the devotee, cursed the pomp of Caesar and the power of Rome, in the name of this lowly shepherd, thisipeasant-preacher, this gentle enthusiast,‘ the world, led on by priest and demagogue, has reared tem- ples of marble and gold, with painted windows and mosaic , ﬂoors, built lofty altars, gorgeous with embroidery and golden fringe, laden with wine cups and images, perfumed with cen- ser-smoke, and lighted with a thousand tapers! Ay, the ’ world has stripped the sanctuaries of Jove and Apollo of their ﬂowing robes, their stoles, their palliums, their scarlet skirts and {purple vestments to wear them in the lowly He- brew’s name! Aye, more, has robbed the heathen temple of its tripod, censer, pix and altar-steps, its consecrated oil and cakes, to daze the eyes of earth’s weak sons and mesh them ere the spell be broken. All, all, in his name! Alas, poor, lowly humble shepherd, thy pastoral is lost for- ever! But thou,:Rome, joy and curse of the world, shalt drain the cup to its bitterest dregs, for “Peter, get thee be- hind me, Satan, thou art an offence unto me i” * * * And now. citizen of the Republic, take Freedom’s encyclo- pedia, and turn to its ﬁrstietters. Ah. 0, that stands for concord! Bend your head, for we are on holy ground now! Hark! Did you not hear those musket-shots ? There, listen ! Did you not hear that cry: “Liberty or Death !” Look, eight of them stagger, reel and fall dead! Who are they? Patriots, citizen, patriots! Their names,.citizen politician? Go cleanse your month before you speak their ‘names, for you swore falsely this morning to save a few dollars taxes. Your lips are not clean enough to pronounce their names. Aye, citizen- politician, there were patriots in those days. Not honest and pure as the world goes, but as the world ought to go, and did go, then. They were.men who loved their country, not be- cause they held office or had contracts, but because they were the ﬂlowers on Freedom’s heather and had their roots struck deep in the sacred soil. They were true patriots, pure in their families, pure in their townships, pure in their legis- latures, ready, willing, happy to face death for freedom’s sake, even as the politicians now face the penetentiary for mammon’s sake. But mark the-change. The patriots are dead; the politicians live. Corruption, greed and fraud stalk about in our midst. Men begin the week with credo prayer and commandment, and end it with peculation, embezzlement and defaulting. Save the Republic! Churchism and politics are the two ,mill-stones, between which , it is about to fall. The government is by the ‘worst. Character , and intelligence go for naught. Public morality is tuberculous, its breath is fetid. The poor clerk, the starve- ling employe, the white-lipped sewing girl, give of their very marrow to grease the chariot wheels of ‘their masters. The church’s maw, ostrich-like, knows no diﬁerence between pure and impure givers, when the gift is large enough to gorge it. It can digest and grow fat on the conscience-money of the public plunderer. The_churches and politicians go hand in hand . They dare not rebuke the rum—seller, as they dared not rebuke the slave-holder. They dare not fulminate I against the brothel and gambling-hell, lest the bolt fall upon the heads of communicants and voters. The “ mother church,” ogress—iike, devours her own children. The “ ring and caucus.” in the name of freedom,rob the citizen of his dearest rights. Babylonian mystery lets the body rot, while it mutters abracadabra for the safety of the soul! Thus these two manifestations of emotional power, to wit: the cry of outraged, humanity that fell from the lips of the young Hebrew, on the one hand, and the soft, sweet adieux of far- mers and merchants to their wives and children, as they stepped from their door-siiis—to die ;—-thus, I say, these two gigatfticthrobs of humanity’s great‘ heart, that should have set the world in a ﬂow of light and liberty, have shrouded it in doubt and gloom, plunged it into the lethargic dream of a senseless hereafter, and debauched the purity of the town- ship meeting-house and common school. ,Men read their prayers from books. Churchism is triumphant. Money, not morals, is the badge of honor within these beautiful temples where song and musicjdelight the ear, and gaud and tinsel feast the eye; where the priest stands upon the altar-steps and needs but the ﬁllet about his brow to cry out: “Hail, Jove, king of gods and men!” I The caucus has throttled the township . To avow love for one’s country is to be jeered at. Putridity imagines putrid- ity. Men sell their votes and—-live. Save the Republic! Women, earnest and industrious workers, are robbed by the tax-gatherer, defrauded by their employers, wronged by the State, thrust out by those “with sin.” Churchism, non- producing, inert, sponge-like, cephalopod, absorbent. is fed by the State, nurtured on public funds. God is an expense to the orphan and widow. They pay toll on a road that the young Hebrew meant shouldibe free. The priest declares that God dislikes “ black skins,” and forthwith the “ colored an” takes a back seat in the temple, and waits for the “second table” on communion days! Rum and politics both smell alike. The gambling—hell, brothel and police- station are a trinity—-three in one. Save the Republic! The press follows the rabble, as the dog his master, by the smell of-his feet. “One line, ﬁrst page, $2 50;” “second page, $1 50.” Journalism has become “impersonal,” for the writers are owned by corporations. The scholar parts with his glorious “ ego,” and wears the slave-garb of “ we,” to serve his master in. Men of intellect and reﬁnement slaver over the man gy, dirty oretins—ruling spirits of the caucus, ward and bar- room-and though they sicken when the drivel cools, yet must genius befoul itself to live. Men and women sneer at the sacred oﬁice of “ school teacher.” Butter, cheese, oil and pork ennoble those who handle them, while the avocation of preceptor shuts out the incumbent from Dives’ villa. Save the Republic 1» Bank notes, hair dye and diamonds elevate to the gentry. There is nothing genuine save vulgarity; there is nothing unadulterated save ignorance. All is "tinsel, veneer and stucco. Five dollars buys an escutcheon that cost ﬁve cen- turies of virtue, bravery and honor! Save the Republic! * * _ .A .4: %'w#* MRS. VVOODHULLIN THE FIELD. COMMENTS on THE rnnss. (From the Daily Picayune, N. 0., Feb. 21, 1876.) V THE SOCIAL PROBLEM. Last night Mrs. Victoria C. Woodhull made her ﬁrst ap- pearance before a New Orleans audience at St. Patrick’s Hall. Owing to a ﬁre which had occurred across the street, and the impediment offered to traveling for some time, the. audience was not as large as it would otherwise doubtless have been. Notwithstanding this, there must have been some ﬁfteen hundred persons present, about two hundred of whom were ladies-young, middle-aged and old. It was a decidedly intellectual aadience, and the professions, partic- ularly, were all generously represented. At 8:15 Mrs. Woodhull stepped upon the platform, and her appearance was the signal for a unanimous burst of applause’ She was arrayed in a handsome brown silk dress, with a trail, which lent a certain grace to a naturally easy and digniﬁed demeanor. , T After a few words of an introductory character, she gave out the text of her discourse. Text from I. Corinthians, iii. chapter, 16th and 17th verses; “ Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the spirit of God dwelleth in you. “ If any man deﬁle the temple of God, him shall God destroy, for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.” Her voice was of that clear, musical, ringing sort, born of native power and high cultivation; but it was evident from the ﬁrst that it could not ﬁll the compass of the vast hall. In her lecture she ﬁrst treated of the ethnical constitution of Americans, and the result to ensue from the merging of many nationalities into one. She then proceeded to elabo- rate upon those themes of social interest developed in her interview with the 1-‘icctyune reporter on last Wednesday, ﬁrst stating her opinion of the world and its practices at the present day, then treating of the duties of parents toward their children, the conditions on which marriage should be contracted, wherein she would exact’ an equal amount of purity from both the contracting parties, and closing‘ with an explanation of a personal nature. “ Her speech was very rapid, but distinct, and every word was well rounded and articulated. Her gestures were few and easy, and her face would betimes light up with that 1 6 "V . iwoonnutt. & GLAFLIN’S WEEKLY. Mar. 18, 1876. ﬁery energy which sparkled in her eyes. The interruptions were few, for the audience paid rapt attention throughout, and only at times would they break out into applause, which, when they did, was unanimous and “long drawn out.” . , At 9:30 Mrs. Woodhull retired from the platform laden with offerings of ﬂowers, and amid a general expression of enthusiasm. (Frbm the N ew Orleans Republican, Feb. 21,1876.) MRS. wooDHULL’s LECTURE. This lady has succeeded in attracting a good deal of interest in the minds of all classes of thinking citizens. Aside from the novelty of seeing a woman on the rostrum, or appearing before a New Orleans public as the champion of an idea, or the witness of great truths, there is a sort of magnetic charm in the perfectly easy manners, the earnestness bordering on enthusiasm, and the great self-possession of the remarkable lady who ﬁlls the public eye for the moment. The truths which Mrs. Woodhull illustrates are as old as the garden of Eden. She holds up amirror in which very many of the poor struggling integers of humanity see anything but compli- mentary reﬁections of themselves. We may admit her facts to be true, and address ourselves to the inquiry, is her pro- posed remedy—the intelligence of women——adequate for the great evil. And, to pursue it further, is the high condition of intelligence which she demands for all the mothers in Amer- ica, for the whole world, in fact, feasible, or even possible? None who heard her on Sunday night, at St. Patrick’s Hall, can doubt she is thoroughly 3. good, womanly woman, with a heart full of love for her species, and a most intelligent ap- preciation of everything that is beautiful in human love and in the true religion of the heart. She speaks with great ﬂuency and apparently with case. It is next to impossible for a skillful stenographer to keep up with her, though the gist of her remarks is easy to retain in the memory. (From the N ew Orleans Bulletin, Feb. 22, 1876.) Notwithstanding the fact that a ﬁre occurred opposite St. Patrick's Hall, Sunday night, just before the hour adver- tised for the opening of Mrs. VVoodhull’s lecture, a large and respectable audience attended to listen to the progressive views e: that lady. Not only gentlemen attended, but the fair sex was well represented, fully one-fourth of the crowd being ladies. After some little delay, on account of the ﬁre, Mrs. V. C. Woodhull entered, and taking a position near the centre of the stage, read her text. , In her exordium she called the attention of her hearers to the fact that neither in written history nor tradition hasthe conduct and action of the human race been such as to leave upon the mind of an impartial reader the impression that any people ever gave evidence that the body was regarded in a light as sacred as the book of Divine inspiration in- tended. Following this, Mrs. Woodhull with much power and grace of diction, alluded to many other interesting ques- tions of society, being frequently interrupted by the ap- plause of her listeners. , She leaves for Galveston this morning, where she intends to lecture also. (From the N. 0., Times, Feb. 21, 1876.) Alarge audience, one-fourth of which was composed of ladies. assembled at St. Patrick’s Hall last evening, to hear M,.s_ Vim-,o1~'1a.C. Woodhull. (From the Galveston (’Iea;as) News, Feb. 28, 1876.) The announcement that Mrs. Victoria C. Woodhull was to lecture in this citylwas sufﬁoient to set every one agog, and develope the greatest amount of curiosity and comment as to the character of the entertainment. Sunday evening, the appointed time for the ﬁrst appear- anoo of this distinguished lady, the Opera House was com- pletely ﬁlled in the parquette and parquettecircle, while numbers were obliged to seek seats in the circle in the second ti(g;0mpt1y at eight o’olock the curtain rolled up, disclosing the set drawing—room scene, and immediately thereafter Mrs. Woodhull made her appearance, having in her hand a small morocco bound copy of the New Testament. Her cos- tume was rich and ‘fashionable, though not in the extreme, while her hair was gathered in a simple knot behind, in which was fastened a white rose. After a most ﬂattering and enthusiastic greeting from the audience, which the lady acknowledged by merely bowing, she opened the Tes- tament, and in low, reverent tones, read her text from I. Corinthians, third chapter, sixteenth and seventeenth verses. Beginning in a low earnest tone, Mrs. Woodhull gradually became infused with her subject until her words rang out like hailstones on a roof, and carrying her audience along with her sheﬁwon repeated and hearty, applause as the telling points were made. At the conclusion of the lecture a large number of the gentlemen who had ladies with them took them on the stage and were introduced to Mrs. Woodhull, thanking her for the fearless manner in which she spoke her convictions,‘ and for the new light she had thrown on them. From the Houston (Te:ca8) Age. March 2. 1876. MRS. VICTORIA C. WOODHULL- There was a large audience of ladies and gentlemen at the Opera House last night, to listen to the dis course of Mrs. Woodhull upon social science. , She came upon the stage with a Bible in her hand, and dressed in an elegant velvet cos- tume, which set 011*‘ to £19313‘ advantizge her tall and command- ing ﬁgure. ' She took her usual text from First Corinthians, and began speaking in a low, nervous, and exceedingly rapid manner, upon the ethnological phase of the world. Gliding out of this, her voice, gathering in strength, broke forth into periods ofigreat oratorical power, freighted with a magnetism of earnestnessyand depth of feeling which captivated her au— r ditory, and bore it along with her to the close of her remarks. She claims that the source of all crime and of all human im- perfections, both mental and moral, is to be found in the pros- titution of the body from unloving sexual intercouse. That marriage without love is simply prostitution. She favors marriage based upon mutual afﬁnity, expressed in perfect love. She denounced marriages of convenience as the gravest sins against God and nature. She sanctiﬁes the human body as being the “temple of God," which no man or woman should dare profane. She urged that man should be as pure as . woman. That young men should have the same moral test applied to them when seeking marriage as is now applied to young women . She depicted the duties and responsibilities of maternity, and portrayed its sacredness in colors of astounding impressiveness. She spoke on in the same nervous, rapid manner for more than an hour and a half, without pausing for the applause which ever and anon broke forth spontaneously from the audience in response to her telling hits. We rarely ever be- held an assemblage of any kind so completely under‘ the influence of a speaker. Men andlladies were to be seen brushing the tears from their eyes as the pathos of this strange woman went home to their hearts, linking them together in that chain of common sympathy whose weird spell no individual present could successfully resist if they would. Many of the most thoughtful, intelligent and prom- inent citizens of Houston were present to hear Mrs. Wood- hull, and the unanimous voice of these attested that they discovered nothing to condemn in what she said, but on the contrary, much to commend. _ * At the close of the lecture, a lady advanced along the dress circle and threw a bouquet upon the stage, which thoroughly interpreted the feeling of the entire auditory. Instead of leaving the Opera house, as is usual when an entertainment closes, the crowd seemed inclined to move toward the stage, and many did so either to be introduced to Mrs. Woodhull, or to purchase a number. of pamphlets which were exposed for sale at the right of ‘the rostrum. If we had been told that such a scene as was there witnessed, could have been possible in a Southern city, with Mrs. Woodhull as the cen- tral ﬁgure, we would have failed to realize it. It was won- derful, overwhelming and astounding to the last degree, and actual presence was necessary to fully appreciate it. Mrs. W. announced that she would remain and lecture again to—night, and we have no doubt the Opera House will be crammed to its utmost capacity. We can assure our citizens that they will hear nothing to offend ears polite, and hope that at least every young man in Houston will go and proﬁt by the severe lesson of morality which Mrs. Wood- hull inculcates. VVe are conﬁdent that none who may go will condemn us for giving them this advice. T R U T H . ro MRS. WOODIIULL BY AN HUMBLE AmnRER, wno FORMED A HIGH OPINION or HER‘ SOCIAL wonrn AFTER HEARING mm LECTURE LAST NIGHT. Oh, my mother, can you love me, Can you call me darling boy, In your prayers to God above me, Can you claim in me a joy, Since I havefrom virtue wandered Far into the swamp of shame? Since I have my moments squandered, Doing deeds of awful name? Since my life I’ve prostituted, Reeling on destruction’s shore ? Since my soul seems so polluted To be lost forevermore ? Can you speak, in love sincerest, To me words of tenderness ? Can you fondly call me dearest, And me to your bosoni press ? Yes, I know you can, my mother, For your love is blindly strong; Can my check with kisses cover, Tho’ there burns the blush of wrong; Even now you think me shameless, The’ I’m deeply steeped in sin; Yes, you look on me as blameless, Tho’ 1’ve long disgraceful been. 011, you never, never knew me, Tho’ confessed to be your child; And I feel you should but rue me, When you know I’ve been so wild; When you know that I’vc committed Acts of sins I blush to tell; When you know my soul is ﬁtted ‘ Better for degraded hell. Yes, to you I’ve been a stranger, Traveling down the path of shame, With my soul in darkest danger Of a hell-tormenting ﬂame; But hereafter, darlingmother, Every thing I dare to do, (Nay, to you, if 10 no other), l’il reveal it all to you. Now I see the shameful error, That I long have slumbered ln, And I shrink abashed with terror At the burthen of my sin; Stranger to my darling mother! She who nurtured, gave me birth! Oh, it is enough to smother, To destroy all social worth! True, the adage that is olden, Truth will not remain concealed; And the one is glorious golden, That is being now revealed. Hear the workers, God will bless them, Give them health and make, them strong, Bid them onward, onward press them, To destroy this social wrong. HOUSTON, March 2, 1876.

The Type- Writer has found rapid acceptanceuwherever ii1tro- duced, and has fully sustained the claim that its work is twice as‘ fast, three times as easy and ﬁve times legible as that of the pen. It paragraphs, punctuates, underscores and does ﬁgure work——in a word, all things necessary to the production of a perfect manu- script. Any size or quality of paper may be used, and the most satisfactory results obtained, at a saving in time and strength of at least one hundred per cent The Type-Writer “ manifolds” ﬁfteen copies at once, and its work can also be copied in the ordinary copy—press. READ THE FOLLOWING INDORSEMENTS. What Mr. Jenny, of the New York Tribune, says about it: NEW Yonx, June 10, 1875. DENsMoRE, YosT & Co.: Ge’nilemen-I am an earnest advocate of the Type- Writer. Having thoroughly tested its practical worth, I find it a complete writing machine, adapted to a wide range of work; The one I purchased of you several weeks since has been in daily use, and gives perfect satisfaction. I can write with it more rapidly and legibly than with a pen, and with inﬁnitely greater ease. Wishing you success commensurate with the merits of your wonderful and eminently useful in- E. H. JENNY. , vention, I am, respectfully yours, OFFICE or DUN, BARLOW & Co., Coiu. AGENCY, } 335 BROADWAY, New York, Dec. 8, 1874. Genllemen—'I‘he ’l‘ype-Writers we purchased of you last J uiie for our New York, Albany and Buffalo offices have given such satisfaction that we desire you to ship machines immediately to other of our offices at Baltimore, Cincinnati, Detroit. Hartford, Louisville, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and no more to our New York oﬂice, 335 Broadway. We think very highly of the machine, and hope you will meet with good success. Respectfully yours, N, BARLOW & CO. OFFICE or WESTERN UNION TELEGRAPH Co., CHICAGO, July 8, 1874. DENSMORE, Yosr & C0.: Genllemen——Haviiig had the Type-Writer in use in my office during the past two years, I do not hesitate to express my conviction of its great value. Its best recommendation is simply to say that it is a complete writing machine. The work of writing can be done with it faster, easier and with a better result than is possible with the pen. The time required to learn its use is not worth mentioning in comparison with the advantages aﬁorded by the machine. Yours truly. ANSON STAGER. What Governor Howard of Rhode Island says: PHENIX, R. I., March 27, 1875. DENsMonE, Yosr & Co.: Genllemen—We have now had the Type-Writer about a month, and are entirely satisﬁed with it. There can be no doubt in regard to its usefulness. When I saw the advertisement of the machine originally I had little faith in it. An,exan_iination surprised me, but not so much as the practical working has. We have no trouble whatever with it. and it is almost constantly "in operation. I think that it must rank with the great beneﬁcial inventions of the century. Very truly yours, HENRY HOWARD. MORRISTOWN, June 29, 1875. DENSMORE, YOST & C0,: Genilemen—Tlie Type-Writer which I bought of you last March I have used ever since, and I wish to ex- press my sense of its very great practical value. In the ﬁrst place, it keeps in the most perfect order, never failing in doing its work. I ﬁnd also, after having used it for four months, that I am able to write twice as fast as with the pen, and with far greater ease. The mechanical execution has become so far instinctive that it takes far less of the attention of the mind than was the ease with the pen, leaving the whole power of the thought to be concentrated on the composition, the result of which is increased vigor and strength of expression. The result is also so far better than the old crabbed chirography that it is a great relief both to myself and to my correspondents. The sermons written in this way are read with perfect ease by in- valids and those who for any cause are kept from church on Sunday. which ﬁlls a want often felt by ministers. And altogether. if I could not procure another, I would _not part with this machine for a thousand dollars; in fact, I think money is not to be weighed against the relief of nerve and brain that it brings. Yours, very truly,_ 1 JOHN ABBOTT FRENCH, Pastor First Pres. Ch., Morristown, N. J.

This wonderful and exhaustive volume by Mr. Graves will, we are certain, take high rank as a book of refer- ence in the ﬁeld which he has chosen for it’. The amount of mental labor necessary to collate and com- pile the varied information contained in it must have been severe and arduous indeed, and now that it is in such convenient shape the student of free thought will not willingly allow it to go out of print. But the book is by no means a mere collation of views or statistics: throughout its entire course the author—as will be seen by his title-page and chapter-heads~follows a definite line of research and argument,to the close, and his conclusions go, like sure arrows, to the mark. 0 O N T E N T S .

To the Wakeﬁeld Earth Closet 0o.—GENTs:—Among the many useful 1()0Ilt1'lVaIlC€S of this utilitarian age, the _Earth Closet iiolds so promineiit a place, that to me it seems strange that it has not been more univer- sally adopted. Having used the Wakeﬁeld in my family for four years, considering it the best, I can truly say that, in the absence of the water closet, it is indis- pensable to the health and comfort of any family.

From leading Merchants, Puloishers, Edtors, Phyﬁician and Scientiﬁc Men. THs rssTl Y. Nyack,'N. Y., August, 31st, 1875 Wakeﬁeld Earth Closet 00.-We have used one of your Earth Closets now for near three yeais, and it has proved to be quite equal to our expectation. We do not hesitate to say that where there is imperfect drainage and the lack of water closets, the use of the Earth Closet seems indispensable for both health and comfort. And where members of the family are very young. or where they are weak and in delicate health we believe that one of your Earth Closets will in than pay for itself every year. Our feeling is, tha could not think of doing without your invention. A.

H. S. DRAYTON, Ed. Phrcnological J ouriial and Life Illustrated. From Our Home Hygienic Institute of Dansville, N.

For all purposes of iieatiiess, freedom from smell, and non-liability to get out of re pair, they are unsurpassed. Yours very truly. ' J AMES H. J AGKSON, Secretary. From D. R. Locke (Nasby), Editor Toledo Blade. New York, Sept. 1st, 1875. I have used one of your best Wakeﬁeld Closets for three or four years at my residence in Toledo, and it is every way satisfactory. I consider your system every way equal to the Water Closet system, and in some respects superior. It saved me the expense of a water closet, with trouble of bursting and obstructed pipes, and my friends in the country were glad to keep me supplied with dry earth, on condition of receiving in exchange the product of the closet from time to time. Yours respectfully, D. R. LOCKE. 7 We have similar letters from the following, among many others: DR. SAMUEL LYNEs, Norwalk, Conn. JOHN P.

STEWART’S MEDIUMSHIP. Editors Weekly :—In the WEEKLY of the 11th inst. I see a communication from David S. Cadwallader, of Delaware, on; . fraudulent Inaterializations in Terre Haute, and charging Anna Stewart with practicing fraud ‘in her seances. Now what we saw of D. S. Oadwallader while he was in Terre Haute, and I but reﬂect the opinion of nine-tenths of all who came in contact with him, convinced me that he is acon- ' ceited little pop-in- jay, who knows it all. and concludes what he does not know is not worth looking after. He wears his hair hanging down his back like a woman, has a peculiar air of self esteem, looks as wise as an owl, and assumes the im- portance of a barn yard bantum. This fa1siﬁer,(for his‘ state- ments are false, and we can make good what we say to any fair minded person) assumes from his experience which ex- tended through about three day, to have discovered that the materializations through the mediumship of Anna Stewart are frauds, and he has discovered in that brief periodwhat others equally as sharp as he is and as much on the look-out as he, have failed to discover in three years close investiga- tion. Just such wiseacres -as Cadwaliader are the others who sign his card (for it was he, Mrs. H. Morse, another disapoint'- ed medium, and R. Parkinson, of Wisconsin) who were the prime actors in the matter; all the others were merely hang- ers on, not Spiritualists, who would have signed any thing ' thatrwas called an expose of Spiritualism, seeking a little notoriety in’ that way. N ow this man Cadwallader came here from some meeting he had been attending west of this place, and wanted to lecture for us. We read him at once; we did not want him and so gave him to understand. Mrs. Morse was down with the same complaint; wanted to lecture for us,”and wanted to be noticed. Well, we have had as much of their kind as we wanted, and we declined. From that time they became fault ﬁnders, and finally united in giving a certiﬁcate that our mediumiwas-a fraud.‘ Well, it is? being ' made very warm for Mrs. Morse, ‘she will be very sorry for her folly in putting her name to that certiﬁcate," for Mrs. Stewart hasmany friends, who have tested her mediumship, in the region of country where‘ Mrs. Morse is trying to lec- ture, and she is already feeling the eifects of her course, as on- gagements made with her before her folly are recalled, and she notiﬁed that her services arenot wanted. We are in re- ceipt of letters ‘almost daily about this affair, giving us re- newed assurances of their faith in Mrs. Stewart-’s medium- ship, as well‘ as her honesty as a materializing medium. These fools have only hurt themselves, for it has only created a notoriety for the medium, and so well have her powers been established and proved that she cannot be broken down. She may be crippled somewhat by such falsiﬁers, as those of her enemies, who would gladly destroy her or anybody else if they could rise upon her ruin. But that truth crushed to earth, etc., will ﬁt in her case, for if her mediumship is true. she wiliceme out ahead in the end. Another thing in her favorisfthis; she has the full and entirefconﬁdence-of her committee—Pence, Hook and" Connor-and they have the ability, ﬁnancially, and the will do it, to sustain her against all and every attempt to prush her, let it come from whatever source it will, and she not only has this trio of her committee, and a host of friends that will stick to her at all hazards, hav- ing found her to be a genuine medium, and one of the best in the country, and we do not believe she has a superior in ma-. terialization in this or any other country. now before the people. This is sayinga great deal, -but we know that we hazard nothing';in saying it. You might suppose that such state- ments as that made by this upstart wiseacre Cadwallader. and his harpies, would settle her business for her. (I suppose they think so). On the contrary she has all she can do; all her physical powers can stand. I have just returned from a successful materializing scenes, with a room full of bankers, doctors, and ladies and gentlemen of ﬁrst class society from Ohio, Illinois, and other states. The interest not abatinga whit. . , TERRE HAUTE, March. 4, 1876. NEW YORK, MAR. 25,1876. These poor investigators pretend to be Spiritualists, and make a great ado about the cause, etc., etc. Mrs. Anna Stew- art has made and conﬁrmed more real Spirltualists in the last year than all Mrs. Stewart's enemies can in a life time. If they only knew what asses they make of ‘themselves in‘ thus exposing their own ignorance of the laws governing medium- ship, and with what contempt sensible people who have taken the time and provedthese things for themselves look upon these futile attempts to expose such mediums! Dr. Pence is busy answering letters from friends of the medium from, all ‘ directions, who have seen their silly stuff, with words of cheer and satisfaction. ’ I, see at the close of Oadwallader’s article you say you have prepared an editorial on this subject, but that it is leftover until next week. I know you have prejudice against Anna. Stewart on account of that little affair. at Chicago some two ship from experience, as well as observation, and no doubt do know that mediums are not at all times, and in fact, very: little of the time responsible, for what is done through their mediumship (I mean good mediums, and not mountebanks and frauds). \Vith over three years of close intimate relations with Anna Stewart‘/s mediumship, I never yet have detected her in fraud, or an attempt at fraud with u as a committee, and we have put her to every test that we could invent that had reason in it, and have always proved her true. I admit that on the surface at that time it looked as-though allwas not right, but are you prepared to say that at that time some Diakka. may not have had the control, or that some cause that we could not account for governed that occasion? Or suppose she did on that occasion do a great wrong, and which she repented of and never did again, are you ready to crush ’ her for that one act? I do not so understand you, and would regret to ﬁnd such to be the case, for I should lose my faith in your sincerity as a teacher, and I now ask at your hand for Anna Stewart what you are asking at the hands of a gen- erous public, that you have the opportunity to prove your truth and sincerity as well as honest motives. .What could it beneﬁt Victoria 0. Woodhull, in her endeavors to beneﬁt humanity, to throw a bomb at Anna Stewart? It could only have this effect: it would wound her feelings, for she is very sensitive to these things. You could not stop her mediumship. for that will go along unless she istaken to the spirit land, Then again it would embitter her friends against you, and do you harm in that respect. You have many ‘friends among her friends, and her friends would let you drop \ in that case before they would her ;, and they would look upon an attack I by you upon her and her mediumship, as uncalled fo_r,:and . youwould be the loser. I am a ﬁrm friend of Anna Stewart. and will ﬁght her battles to the bitter end... I have also done battle for you and your cause, and hope I may be understood menus speaking. I hope you will not be hasty, but deliber- ate wen , ONE or THE COMMITTEE. 1 ' [From The (N. Y.) Sun, March 14, 1876.] PARAFFINE AND SPIRITISM. V THE ARTISTIC MODELLING THAT was SEEN IN REPUBLICAN , it HALL. V" A w _ Republicanﬂall was well ﬁlled on Sunday ‘evening on the occasion of a seance given byiMrs. ‘M. M. Hardy, the “maé terialization medium}? After somehymns were sung byvla small choir, and a very long.winded address on Spiritualism —-professedly a detail of Mrs. Hardy's mediumistic develop-‘ ment-had been read by Mr. Hardy. the real business of the evening commenced. A committee, consisting of Messrs. Oliver Johnson, Erastus W. Smith, John Liscomb and two’ other gent1emen,‘Mrs. Austin and another lady retired to an ante-room, and in a few minutes reappeared. car1fYil1‘g,3§ common wooden pail containing hot water, Vwithh several’ covering the platform was taken up, carefully‘examin_ed;to demonstrate that it was not cut for any tra.ps,,_ and respread . A large common table, built to hold three drawers, was thor- oughly examined, and readily freed from any, suspicion of trickery, its drawers having been taken out and: J'3»n_il3‘01‘i of the hallvouching for its being the one regularly in use for » Republican committee. meetings in that P13-_06- I _ The two ladies of the committee then carefullyienveloped Mrs. Hardy in a huge bag of mosquito netting. She stopped it PRICE TEN I into it and it was drawn‘ up around her to her neck,and there'securely'tied. The medium was then seated behind the table; the bucket of melted parafﬁne and the bo'wl,.o_,f waterwere set onthe ﬂoor beneath the table; two g_re,at green cloths, like billiard table cloths, and a couple of shawls were drawtniiaround the ‘table so as to completely exclude all light from the space thus enclosed,fwhich,i it was ex- plained, was to be the field’ of operation of the spirits_. I it Some twenty-ﬁve minutes were passed in waiting, the cho_ir.ﬁllingin the time by singing depressing, spiritualistic hymns and songs of the elegiac 'type.. From time‘ to timeithe medium would bow her head near to the table as if listening, and raps, very loud and distinct, seemingly from blows upon the pail, were heard. During all this while, although, the lights werejturned down,,th.ere was still suﬂlciyent illumina- , _ . tion for every movement of the medium’s hands and even years ago. Now, you ought to know something of med1um- o ‘ , her facial expression to be distinctly seen. I ; At length it was announced that the spirit’s work—-'obtain- inga mould of paraﬂine for a. cast of a materialized spirit hand-—had been completed. The lights were turned up, and the committee stepped upon the stage. Mr. Liscomb raised thecloth from oﬁ" the table and exclaimed loudly, with a laugh; “Nothing at all—just what I expected.’ Ha!"ha! nothing there.” ‘ ‘ . - I o I The greaterlpart of the audience were standing up and much excited. “ Loud calls were uttered, “Take the cloths away,’.:* I “Lookiwell’ under there."’ Mr. Iiiscomb again triumphantly proclaimed, there was nothing there, but upon giving a second and more careful in- spection, stooped ‘and picked up from the. ﬂoor, between the ' pail and the bowl,‘n'ear the feet of the medium,’-where the darkness had before prevented its being . seen--a paraﬂine cast of a hand. He lifted it up silently and scratched his ‘head. Great excitement ensued, many pres- sing forward to viewpthe east. "It was a peculiar~hand,i the little finger being deformed and bent inward. A In all other respects it was perfect. , The wrist end was closed together, and no part had been at all bent in removing the formvfrom which it was cast-whatever that formwas. The ladiestook the bag oil‘ Mrs._Hardy,, and upon examinationiit reported that there was not the slightest ‘opening through which any- thinggthe one-hundredth part as large as the cast could have been passed from the medium un:dernie_athttl,1e table_.. I Oliver J ohnsonvreported : “We saw the sack put upon‘ the »liad»y,:and saw, as all must have done, that ehesat motionless in that chair, with the exception of some natural movements of her handslto her. face, clearly, to be seen by"-uall. We have also examined the sack since its removal from her, and find it-has no, openings-whatever. Wesaw the parafﬁne melted in that pail and saw it put under the table under conditions which precluded anything else than the pail and the bowl 2 being there. Here is the» resu1t—-a. hand made »fromlpar- ‘ . aﬁine. Any one that is acquainted with the article! will readily recognize that it is thiat.” . o . ' Mr. ‘Liscomb did «not have any facts to give different from that of Mr. J ohnson,‘ but proceeded to offer his theory ofhow such a cast could be made “upon a rubber hand blown. up with compressed air.” He did notattompt to explain howit got’there,’butosaid he did notbelieve it had been‘ in la. melted condition in the pail, because thelparafﬁne which there put into thepailwas full of impu‘rities.'and this was not. Then, unfortunately for his theory, he dipped his own ﬁngers in the still melted parafﬁue a few times, and they came out covered with a cast, in which notga single speck appeared At this point, when he said,‘ “1 nor any other scientist--’ the audience laughed uproariously.

Stewart of Materialization notoriety, make a mistake equally as serious and fatal to their cause as It was held universally, that whoever believed that Mr. Beecher was an .enemy—to Christianity." But three years have proved that those who didnot attempt to bolster up the church by sus- taining Mr. Beecher, were, after‘ all, the better christians. These zealous defenders of Mrs. Stewart are now commit- They take the position that any- materializations is an enemy to Spiritualism. Let us warn them that it will not require three years to show that they are more at fault than was the church in atteempting to de- fend Mr. Beecher. And it will come out at last, that they who would rid Spiritualism of a whole army of leach- ‘ ifng frauds, instead of attempting to cover up and hide every discovered deformity, will be accounted to have been the only consistent Spiritualists, while the converts to Spirit- lualism made through deceit and fraud, willbe placed by the exposure, in a worse relation to the real truth, than before were converted. If Spiritualism and its progress re- quire that deception and lies shall be practiced, in order that may maintain itself, then we say, let it fall, and the soon- er the better. The reason that it has not already fallen, is because behind all the frauds and lies that have been palmed ._ loﬁ‘ in its name, there is a truth which cannot be crushed, let ' whatever weight there may, -be put upon it. Spiritualism— the fact thatspirit life is a reality, and that under certain conditions, it can make itself manifest to human life——wil_l i live long after all fraudulent practices shall have been sunk in the oblivion which theyso well deserve. , j Two weeks ago we published the communication (‘if Mr. Cadwallader et al. The editorial which appeared last week Lwas -intended for publication with the communication, but at the moment of going to press, it was found‘ that the printer had failed to put it in type. We now see the “provi- dence of’ that failure. The notice published at the foot of the communication informed Messrs. Pence, Hook &; Con- rior (whom we shall style the committee) that something unpleasant to Mrs. Stewart might be expected and betrayed The wisdom that 2.8 from “M60 136.7/.8 ﬁfst pure’, menjtihem into the writing of the letter, which we publish in another column, and into a confession which justiﬁes all that was said in the editorial. This letter though not intended for publication, was written by one of the three gentle- men named, but undoubtedly at the instance of them all. We shall assume that the letter represents the sentiments of the committee. So far as the letter relates to Mr. Cadwal- lader andthe persons signing with ‘him, we shall saygbut little. They are able and willing, no doubt, to take care of them- selves. We may, however, call attention to one fact : Mr. Cadwallader guardedly refrainedthroughout his whole letter :from making any positive assertions. He said in substance fdtstinctly, “ After making as critical tests as the restrictions her committee would allow of, I was conscientiously forced to the conviction that the matcrializations were frauds.” The committee say theft he is a ‘.‘,fool” and a §"‘ falsiﬁer.” How has -he falsiﬁed ? How can they know that he has falsiﬁed ? Can they say that Mr. O. was not jconscientiously forced to the conviction that the manifesta- tions were fraudulent ? We say again,—HoW dare the com- niittee to say that Mr. C. falsiﬁes, {when he guardedly lrefrained from saying more than that he is convinced that there is fraud? The error that they have committed is ;si—milar to that which Mr. Beecher committed against Mr. {Bowen-. Mr. ‘Bowen said that he believed Mr.’ Beecher to ’ , i;be"gui1ty' of adultery, perjury and hypocrisy. Mr. Beecher- fsaid that Mr.’ Bowen lied. How could he know what Mr. §.B‘owcn believed? How can the committee know of what lilr, CM. is convinced ? A , M, At the outset, we wish to deny the charge that we are Mr " Zrejudiced against Mrs.'Stewart. -We bear no -prejudices , ‘against anybody. We care only for the truth, and that, we , la.lways‘love, and are always willing to endure whatever- penalty may follow for its defence or statement. ' We idespise and hate a lie, whether it be in the form of a verbal hntruth, a false life, or a fraudulent, spiritual manifesta- I itidns, and are willing to suffer further, aswe have had to do ' int-he past, for exposing them, if it , must be so. In this particular instance,-we should probably have not interfered, ' at;all,~. had we not seen. that those who know. better were be.- ‘ Zfore the public endeavoring to sustain Mrs. Stewart. Tordoa r i this was an openlcleﬁanceito us. We had hoped that others lvvho know what we know, would have saved us from doing l " is Ewhat we felt called upon by duty to do, by coming before fﬁthe public with their statements. But we fear that the ' ispirit manifested in the committee's letter, to cover"up the fevidence of fraud among mediums, is c‘omm‘on "to Spiritua- Qlists‘ generally. Under this conviction, we came at last ‘re-T‘ iluctantlyto speak, but not until in all t_heM.Spii-itual‘p:ap.efs,M Edefsnses of Mrs. Stewart had appeared. These papers are,‘ ‘nodoubt, perfectly honest and honorable linadmittingrthése defenses. Their editors have never seen Mrs. Stewart’s ‘manner .of.presenting spirits as we have seen them.» But will" they, when they read the confession of the committee, that . the seance in which Mrs. Stewart was exposed at Chicago, wasa. fraud, continue to bolster her up’? But what does this committee say in this letter? First they acknowlledgethe Chicago fraud. Second, that she Mrs. guilty of the charges preferred against him, was perforce,‘ mittee, Pence, Hook & Connor, and that they have the ability, ﬁnancially, and the will to do it, to sustain her against all and every attempt to crush her, let it come fromwhatsoever source it will.” Then if she is to be sustained at all events, what we may say will do her no harm ; but it seems to us not look exactly straight. Mllir. Pence saidthe samething be- fore the Chicagoﬁvpose, and backed it by an oﬁer of $1,009., though--"the exposure was complete. Perhaps if we knew in Mrs. Stewart's Mmaterializations, or how we expose our be“_‘ asses,” and to show.our.f‘ignorance,” and to rec_eivLe the “ contempt of sensible people who have taken the time and proved these thingsfor themselves.” , We didrtake the time to prove these things for ourselves, and that was 110? a very long time, either-—‘not more than a half hour." jA.11<,l- to —be applied to-,Mrs-.l Stewart nﬁwhﬁhﬁt we applied. to hot Chicago, the "frauds made evident than would be made .evi.-_ scribing such conditions as prevent all positive ‘tests, and, safety. , But say the committee through this letter,. ‘f I admit on was not right.” .We should think so, for what was there on the surface at that time ? ,Why, there were false faces, false hair, false moustaches, rings, bracelets, laces, and whatever else of “ properties” for “make up” that were required to present a goodly number of spirits and to have successful materializations. We think there was quite enough on the surface to show pretty conclusively that there was little mediumship under the surface. “But,” the letter goes on to say, “ are you prepared to say that at that time some ‘-Diakka ’ may not have had the control, or that some sion?,” Well, No! We are not prepared to say this. On whether the “ Diakka” were spirits from the other sphere, ‘or still living in the forms of those on earth, is another question. We do not believe that all they “ Diakka” are out ‘of the body. Again. “ Or suppose she did on that occasion do a great wrong-, and which she repented of and never did again, are you prepared to-crush her for that one act?” As Messrs. Pence, Hook and Connor are going to defend her at all hazards, and at whatever cost‘, how can‘ she be crushed? We have no desire to crush her or anybody." But we shall speak the truth about her, and draw the logical deductions from that truth, let it fall where it may, on her or on those who are determined to uphold her. ‘That “one occasion!” Now isn’t that rather presump- tious? 4 One occasion, only ! I-Iadn’t she been giving the same materializations days’ before that one occasion? Do the committee’ wish it to be understood that, whileon that occasion the manifestations were fraudulent, the same manifestations upon the preceding days were genuine‘? Iwherefore, all that paraphanalia? Why were they there on that occasion, if they had not been there previously? And :why were they there at all, if she had not resorted to them -before she went to Chicago? Or will the committee assume, that on that occasion, as the spirits, themselves, itheir absence‘ might not belmissled? But if this were the fcase, why should "the medium have made such efforts to -hastily conceal her “ properties ” when the cabinet was put aside? Now does’nt the committeeknow that Mrs. Stewart was provided withall these things before she went to $Haute, previously deceived even the committee, for we will notde them the injustice to believe even, that they were aware of the fraud before it was exposed in Chicago? lwhy conceal them in and upon her person, if it were not }for fraudulent purposes? ‘And when did she‘ obtain them? Not for that one occasion surely. The committee may assumethat she did, but if they do, it will speak little for their good sense; nor will the public be likely to see with their eyes in thisbusiness. Isn’t it clear that Mrs. Stewart ‘went to /that seance provided with those things with the M,upon those whom her false professions should ' entice into }paying her a dollar in the hope, of realizing the most, sacred ;experiences of life? And if she did do so, when, will the icommittee assume that she changed her genuine mediumistic power for this thin and wicked pretense? No! The action of Mrs. Stewart wasthat’ of a practiced, an expert, actress. She came to ‘ that seance with all her “ mediumistic prop’- erties T’ so carefully concealed that a thorough search failed" '_to discover whatllher M after-haste betrayed. Think .oMf_it Spiritualists of the country,‘a,medium with moustaches and curls braided into her -own hair» and false faces concealed in her person where none but a woman can conceal them; and then read the committee’s lame attempt to excuse such‘ trickery as the work: of “ diakkaf’ upon that one occasion, and blush for“ your defenders; -blush for your cause ifit need “such defense! r S A l ‘ ' ’ st: here we touch upon a tender spot in the committee. that the committee -ought notto have said just that.

So where is.“ the fallacy of this kind of vreasouing ‘P’? :.- It is the same kind of is fallacy as ‘was our‘.other.proposi-T“ tion; to wit, that" the i .labo'ring‘ classes pay all * ex'pens‘es" ﬁnally.-~ To besure, ‘the rich turn the money over: to”theW government, but the laborer ﬁrst puts it into. their hands. So here although the bank-men would. not buy the ‘bonds - directly from the government, indirectly’ they are? the cause» ‘ of their being eventually obtained. For the reasonvstated. above, we assert .-that the government in equity, in humani- tarian equity, is not justly indebted. to the 'bondholdcrsL.for‘ ‘ their interest; but we-maintain that the accumulated wealth which was preserved the results. of the ;War is the proper“ debtor, and athat the entire bonded «debt ought to be? paid, if paidat all, ,by Ilevyiing upon the accumulated‘ wealth of the country,}"the bonds; included, -in 'a— suﬁicieht amount to retire them. The laboring clas'sesV.fought—- and Won the battles: they ‘gave their l‘iv?es freely;=Lnow« let’-the’ non-laboring classes do something, which they-have not as’7 yet done, toward establishing an. equality‘ between the two classes.- ‘One. class shed its.blocd;. the other class put money in its purse. «.

Is not whatis true. ofpeople true also"of-—gove'rn~“ bearing notes instead of in interest-bearing bonds, would not its real credit be enhanced? ‘What would be the differ- ence from present things? Why, this. The laboring classes would have their savings‘ increased by the amount of the interest now paid on these bonds, while the‘bondh'olders*‘ would have their - annual incomes lessened ‘by the 'sar'ne«’ amount.‘ All. these things begin «and. end» at thei-’same’ place.
