A great error seems to prevail among a few Spiritualists, as well as 1 with, otherwise many would be deterred from investigating, owing to

innocent of attendance at a dark seance, may be cn rapport with the what is now only possible on the exclusion of white light, and in dark

Fertile seance itself, it was poor trilling; about as much like the
A DD RESS.
reality as n transpontine farce is like ordinary life. There was a table,
tube Spiritual ilctmUi.
amt il was lifted and thing about in a way that any two of your readers
may imitate without psychic force. There was a man behind the scenes
who was provided with a stick, with which lie beat the tloor and made
raps. This phenomenon also your readers may imitate by getting
behind a door and hitting il with a walkingstiek. They will rind the
process ns entertaining as 1 found the stage-raps. And there was a
walkingstiek which, by the help of a line thread, was lifted and bobbed
up ami down. And there was a bouquet, which slid down a wire and
then slid up again. And then there was a young lady who, at. one part,
of lbs proceedings, seemed to be taken with a violent, internal spasm,
slid incontinently sat down, with mouth open and eyeballs “ in a
fine frenzy rolling,” and who was subsequently seized from behind by
some mechanism and elevated into the air. after which she seemed
better. And this was what was gravely presented to us as a representa
tion of a Spiritualistic seance. This agglouimeration of buffoonery and
concealed mechanism, and wires, and threads, on a stage to which none
had access, is to reproduce the phenomena which I have witnessed
hundreds of times in a family circle or at a social meal, where mechan
ism and impostors alike with those who expose them have no place.
Then we had a man's head cut off, and the decapitation was far more
like the real thing than the Spiritualism was.
After this, the celebrated cabinet and box scene was introduced.
Gentlemen from the audience were requested to examine the cabinet,
and I complied with the invitation. The cabinet is carefully padded,
so that it is perfectly safe to knock it about, which Mr. Maskelyne did,
with a long pole, demonstratively enough. I noticed that be avoided
the top of the cabinet, and treated it. tenderly; and I requested per
mission to give a few knocks myself. My knocks were severe, and
elicited the fact that the top of the cabinet gave a different sound from
the sides and shelves. 1 sounded it carefully, and, in spite of the
padding, satisfied myself that the mirror was there concealed. The
cabinet was an elaborate stage property, about as like those of the
Davenports or Air. Y\ illiams's, as Air. Maskelyne’s seance is like Mr.
Home’s. Wo were next introduced to a pair of stocks, which would be
secure enough if one did not happen to have the key to the padlock in
one's possession. I would place far more confidence in two yards of
whipcord tied by myself than in any such clumsy contrivance. Last
came the wonderful box, with its moveable end—by far the most
cleverly-executed deception I saw. B ut even that would be rendered
useless by a few carefully-adjusted fastenings of rope. Air. Maskelyne
took care to provide us with a very stout piece of rope, most of which
he used himself before lie allowed anyone else to touch it, by passing
it round the trunk. By this means little was left, and, as a matter of
fact, one end of the box was utterly untied. My observations about
the cabinet, and the vigorous way in which I advised the gentleman
who was to tie up the box (and who evidently did not see the trick-)
to tie up the ends, and leave the rest alone, brought up Air. Alaskelvne, and caused him to decline to allow me to remain on the
stage. This be did under pretence- fair-seeming enough—that one
person on the stage was sufficient. No doubt, from Atr. AI.’s point of
view. If I had been the one, with rope and time enough, 1 might have
been one too manv. But with all mechanism against one, insufficient
rope, and a clamorous audience, the performers know that they are practi
cally safe.
The farce proceeded, a n d 1 n eed n o t w eary y o u w ith d e ta ils. W h e n
the cabinet was o pened th e m ir r o r w as p e rfe c tly visible. .1 called my

Villeena’ the bold am I,
Child of Behonkerki!
Darkness prevails, and the world wants light;
And this is why I come
Whilst, winter, deep in gloom,
Rolls its black clouds on the bleak winds of night.
“ Mortals in circles set,
AA’itb good intentions met,
List to the voice of the maid of the spheres.
I come through doudland blue,
AVitb pleasing tales for you ;
We come with missions to dry the world's tears.
“ Green are the paths and grand
O f holy sp’i'it-land;
Blithe are the souls that adorn its fair face.
There is progression bright,
High on its lofty tlight—
Mortals, prepare for that fair world of grace.
“ No pandemonium hot
Is the poor mortal’s lot—
God has a love as infinite as time ;
See how it blushes where
Lovely rose-bushes are.
Blending their beauties in pictures sublime.
We come the truth to toll.
"Tis superstition's knell ;
See how it. wallows in luxury's feast!
We come the veil to tear
From its bewildered glare—
See how it shrinks in the shape of a priest.
“ We’ll crush its demon snakes;
We'll quench its (laming lakes;
Hell with its brimstone no more shall degrade.
Priests have got lying tongues,
Wagging with heaven s wrongs;
Souls that believe them are deep in the shade.
Go. and enjoy the world!
Strive to employ the world
In the great labours of truth and true love.
God's love concentres where
Labour's adventures are—
These are man's passports to regions above.
•• Little ‘Villeena’ now
Finds other work to do,
Good friends at Jarrow her presence invite .
And, by the tops of trees.
Over the ileeting breeze.
She will be there in a moment. Good night!"

TH E PORTRAIT CM-' “ JO H N KINO.”
The great didicult.y experienced in reproducing the drawing of this
spirit as a wood engraving has caused considerable delay in the publica
tion of Human Nature for April. One block was spoiled in the engrav
ing. and another bad to lie drawn.
It is probable that. Unman Nature
will not be ready till the early part, of next, week. This portrait is
exciting a great deal of interest, and orders for the number come in
steadily.
DR. SEXTON AT T H E CRYSTAL PALACE.
On Wednesday afternoon Dr. Sexton lectured on Spiritualism in the
Opera IIouso, Crystal Palace to a rather numerous and highly-rospect,able audience. Mr. Coleman presided. Great, attention was paid to ( lie
speaker. At the close a few questions were asked, which were promptly

satisfactory manner.
Dr. Sexton delivers another lecture at the same plaoo Ibis afternoon
at four o’clock.

This manifestation is being frequeidlv observed. On a recent evening,
"Jo in t King,” through Mr. Williams's tnediutnsliip at Air. Slaters,
was seen kneeling while he lifted the eurlain which formed the frond
of the cabinet. The spirit-form was seen to dissolve away before the
eyes of the spectators, after having been touched repeatedly lo make
certain of its solidity. At. M iss Cook's seances a similar manil'e Ini ton
has occurred. The full length figure of “ Kalcy" melted away a-, it
stood in full view of the company, the medium being at the same time
visible. A few evenings ago, while Airs. Holmes was in the trance, her
spirit-guides staled through her Hint in a lew weeks they would he

D IR E C T S P I R I T - W R I T I N G , o b tain ed a t M r. a n d Mrs.
Hoi.mks’s Oirele, carefully reproduced by f.it.hography, appears as
•a Illustration in Human N a tu r e for January, price (til. This writing
was obtained by handing a slate and pencil up to the aperture of the
cabinet; a spirit hand was seen to lake them in, and the sound of
writing was heard. In a few' m inutes the state was lmnded out,
•owred with w riting on both sides. In the lithographed copies the
semblance to the slate is accurately carried out, as the w riting is
printed in w hite letters on a grey ground.

Through the Modiumship of Mrs. Jk n c k rn (Miss Kate Fox), is given as
on Illustration to H um an N a tu re for February, price (id. Throo speci
mens of writing are given, all by the same spirit and in the same band,
but the different, styles are very significant as dem onstrating the great
influence of conditions over the phenomena.
These beautiful specimens of the higher phenomena should ho in the
hands of every Spiritualist, as well-established facts to lay before
investigators. These specimens them selves are worth more than the
price of the numbers in which they appear.
