Prof. Cooke, the world renowned ex poser of all Spiritualistic Shams, gave an entertainment at Fitzgerald Hall on Friday and Saturday evenings last. The IIehald attended on Saturday and was much interested in the exhi bition. Prof. C. uses no clap-trap, makes no elaborate motions, neither sighs nor groans, but tells what ho is about to do in a straight forward man ner that wius respect. Of course we have all seen the exposa of untying the ropes, and the cabinet tricks are so old that no one believes now that spir its ever had anything to do with the manifestations, yet it is always inter esting to the younger ones and to all who have never seen them explained or who do not remember the furore of spiritualism that swept over the coun try twelve or fifteen years ago when the Davenports were in their glory. Aside from this however Prof. Cooko has with him a Yery wonderful person, Miss Crawford, a Clairvoyant of great power. A dozen to twenty questions were written on paper and shown to no one but kept in the writer's pocket and she answered every one correctly. A Lady asked if she should remain in Plattsmouth and was answered: "No she would leave permanently." A man asked" If his job would last all win ter" and was answered, " yes." This Editor wrote the following question: " What will you taka for the House? Mr. Young, the only person who saw it beside ourself, suggested that it was a rough question, (owing to the Ball Thanksgiving and two other performances the same n eck, the Ik. use was not a good as it should h tve been.) We crossed this quetioi. out and wrote this "Where do you play to morrow ?" without ever thinking of "to-m irrow's" being Sunday. Miss Crawford answer ed both questions, the ilrsi. which you may say we did not intend to ask, by saying they would " take expoine. for the house," which they well might; and the second by saying: " 1 ee ourselves." " What are we doiug'r" said tin Pro fef soi1. " Nothing, w e do'.t play on Sunday go to chi rcV Sunday evei rig." How she does this Mr. Cook does not tell in and we can all guess a3 wo please, call it Psychology, Mesmerism, uxtremu sensibility, what you like, it is very wonderful and well worth go ing to see. Eve::y once in a while it clouds up in the afternoon and every body says: 'Well, it's going to snow to-morrow, our nice weather is at an end at last." But to-morrow looms up a3 bright and cheerful ;is ever,. Just think of such a Thanksgiving elay, and here we are the 5ih of Dec. 1S7S, and no frost, sun shining, overcoats at a discount, and the chickens all thinking it i3 spring and they must begin to lay. Some wag started the story that dur ing the planetary disturbances of the past year the earth was 'thrown 300 miles farther south," (?) (if any one can tell where south is after we leave this little ball) and that accounts for our warm weather, aud that we are not going to have any more hard winters. Lots of folks believe this. The Heu ald is skeptical, however. We will have plenty of snow before spring, so get your sleighs ready. In Chicago and on the lakes, we seo the inspectors and light-house keepers have declared " navigation closed" two or three timc3, but she won't stay closed, and cargoes of grain and other stuff are being shipped daily, much to their disgust, as they want to lay up for the winter. They used to try and make us believe when wo were young that almost everything that was nice was naughty, in fact they got up a proverb, "It's naughty but it's nice." Now, such weather as this is just nice not "splendid" but nice, and. the sourest old bigot can't say there is any thing naughty about it, for it is not even " lingering in the lap of ispiing," but stands erect on its own merits and shakes its chubby fist at old winter, daring the old Intidcl to come on Mac duff.
