An amusing incident , byvrhich n skep tic obtained considerably the brat of n spiritualistic medium , to thogrcntntnuso- inout of the audience , occurred nt n pub * Ho sonuco given by Mrs. Foyo nl Wash ington hall on Sunday evening. The demonstrations of the evening were to bo by rnppings on the table , nnmoa appear ing to the medium written in the air , nnd writing en paper through inspiration. Thosuof the nudicnco who desired to hear from n dead friend or relative were re quested to write the nnmo of such n ono on n slip of paper , fold nud place it in a hat passed among the audience for tlmt purpose. The medium explained that of course all could not got an answer tlmt evening , but modestly suggested tlmt they try again or call privately upon her and replenish her cotters. The idea oc curred to n skeptical young man , who wns ono of the n\uU cuce , that this medium would oporto only such papers ns became unfolded , w eho could read thorn oa she glanced them over. It furlhor occurred to htm that by writing the unmo of some person now living nnd unknown to the medium , u fnir test could bo made of her alleged ponors. lloj therefore , nt oiico r < . ; olvod to write hia own name on n slip of paper and see what , came of it. Ho printed it out iti full "Fremont E. Wood" so that it would readily catch the eye , nnd folded it but once , uo it would open in handling. The papers were then placed in u heap before the medium on n tnblo nnd strict tilonco enjoined. Calling the spirits to nid her , Mrs. Foyo began by lifting the papers ono by ono , in her fingers , saying. "la the spirit of this ouo presonU This ono ? This ono ? " etc. The audience , breathless with antici pation , nwnitod the roiult. Suddenly the medium paused , three raps boinjj given on the tnblo , which was under stood to moan "Yes. " Passing her hand over her eyes , as if to clear the vision of her intellect , nnd then staring dra matically into vacancy , Mrs. Foyo said : "I BOO there , written in the nir , the dim outline of the nnmo Fremont Wood. Is anyone present who recognizes that name/ / " The flesh nnd bloodof this restless spir it then arose , nnd immediately nil eyes were bout upon him. "Did youknowthisspiritwhon living ? " asked Mrs. Foyo. "Yes ; ho was a personal friend , " waa the reply. "You know the ngo nt which ho died ? " "Yea. " "Plonsomontion sovornlngos nnd among liom the right ono. " This wna done nnd the information ro- oived by rnppings that ho died between bo ngo "of 23 and 24 years. "Is that correct , ? " asked Mrs. Foyo. "No , madam , " said the young okopUo , m expression of interest nnd nn BBOmoat scaling over his countenance. "J'lio ijirit has made a slight mistake. If I now myself , Fremont Wood ia not in stirit land , but hero to-night in flesh nnd Dbod ; in other words , I am that humble neson. " The nudienco was electrified , nnd gnvo vmt to n round of hoartly laughter. MB. Foyo was considerably disconcerted nnt , failed in several attempts during the res ) of the evening.

Black Bart tolls of ono experience ho liad in lorthorn California which came near stepping his career ns n highway man. Lo had interviewed a party of travolorsby stage and got n small haul for his tnublo. After starting the stngo on , with the gentle admonition to the driver to o on and never look back or ho would drif ) him , ho , us was his custom , pitched iiro the brush. Ilo had not been walking vu-y long when ho heard voices behind hin , and looking down the moun tain side ctuld sco Bovorttl horsemen am footmen coning in his direction nt a live ly gnit. Tioy were gaining on him very fast , nnd ID was compelled to do some thing very Hiddonly or bo captured , nnd his only chaico for escape was to sccroto himself beoro ! they caught sight of him. him.Ilo Ilo began looking about him and no ticed a largo , hollow fir log which lay on the ground. Plunging into it head first just before tlu vigilants came into sight , ho crawled to the farther and of the hole , but ho discovered to his horror that he had company , which , by that poculiai odor omitted , ho concluded was a polecat - cat in fact , h ? know it was. It was n time for tears , but not for retreat , and ho lay there in mortal agony and heard his pursuers con o up and sit down on the log , while their dog inado the acquain tance of the fragrant occupant of the hold in the lo'j. The smell finally drove them away and Bart crawled hurredly out , not only nick at heart and with the worldbut terribly sick at the stomach. Ho declares that ho did not get over the effects of hia experience in the log for three months afterward , and that it nearly cured him of Ilia propensity for robbing stages , Good health is the greatest of fortunes ; no remedy luis so often restored this prize to the suffering , as Hood's Sarsnparilla.
