The mooting at the Progroisivo apirltu-

Interesting , even to these who have not
boon converted to that form of belief.
The spirit of a Roman senator was the
Pint to take poasosslon of ono of the ino <
dlnmfl , and opened his address in poetry
then followed with n prose argument in
favor of Bplrltua'ism ' suit closed with an
other pootlol effusion , of considerable
merit. There was much curiosity to know
who this Roman senator WAS , Mid
in answer to a query , ho replied
through the medium , "Wherever you cm
toll the name of the Roman that aald in
the Donate that a nun goes to ho'l ' with a
piece of money In his mouth , thou you
have my name. " No ono was ablu to re
call any such porsinage , and hero the
matter dropped.
An Indian chief known as "Midnight , "
then got control of a inadlum , who pro
ceeded to give quite a diacnureoln a sort
of unintclllgablo mixture of Indian with
English. ItiiM Dually asked him what
ho thought of having the saloons closed
in Council Bluffs , llo answered that he
did not believe it would do any good but

occasion yeateidty to rebuke the proas ,
showing that , though duii nearly 2,000
years , ho still retains the human pro
pensity to i i k about what the news-
papois say. Ilia address , as given through
the medlunmhip of Mw. Bradbury , waa
.11 follows :
"Have you neb as parents often
