In founding the Society it was necessary to obtain authority to do so from the Minister of the Interior, who gave his approval to the rules and constitution, which differ but little from those of any English society having the same objects in view. | In founding the Society it was necessary to obtain authority to do so from the Minister of the Interior, who gave his approval to the rules and constitution, which differ but little from those of any English society having the same objects in view. | ||

As the rooms are in every way convenient, and considerable expense has been incurred in making them suitable for their present purposes, the coming evacuation is not liked. Mr., Mrs. and Miss Leymarie reside on the premises, in a suite of apartments adjoining those in public use.

During my present visit to France I have collected much information about Jeanne d’Arc, together with some photographs of historical monuments relating to her, and hope in a few weeks’ time to give a public lecture about my travels during the Christmas vacation, amid the scenes of her exploits. | |||

Madame Leymarie informed me that about three hundred persons attended Mr. Husk’s recent ''stances ''in Paris. Of these, some two hundred and fifty were satisfied of the genuineness of the manifestations; the other fifty were not satisfied at all, but their explanations were of a startling nature. One of their theories was that Mr. Husk is a “nictolope,” a man who can see in the dark; another that he is a Hercules, able to lift sofas with his teeth; another that he is an acrobat, who can play musical instruments over the table with his feet, while his hands are held. | |||

Dr. Monck in America | |||
Judge Dailey, of 16, Court Street, Brooklyn, New York, writes as follows under the date of Deo. 15th, 1881, to ''The Banner of Light'' of Boston, Mass.:— | |||
In the course of the evening we seated ourselves at a common round extension-table, for such spiritual manifestations as wo should be favoured with. Five was the entire number of persons present. There was no very marked demonstration for quite a while, with the exception of some vigorous raps from “Samuel,” the Doctor’s control, and some humorous jokes in which “Samuel” delights to indulge. “Samuel was solicited to materialise a hand in the centre of the table, but he responded by a vigorous “No.” He was asked if he would not do something for us, and replied, “Wait;” and wait we did. Suddenly two of the persons sitting exclaimed that they saw something flit around the room and come between Dr. Monck and the person sitting at his left. Dr. Monck, starting as if he had received a shock, exclaimed: “Oh, see!” Glancing at Dr. Monck’s side, we observed what looked like an opalescent mass of compact steam emerging from just below his heart on the left side. It increased in volume, rising up and extending downward, the upper portions taking the form of a child’s bead, the face being distinguished as that of a little child I had lost some twenty years previously. It only remained in this form for a moment, and then suddenly disappeared, seeming to be instantly absorbed into the Doctor’s side. This remarkable phenomenon was re peated four or five times, in each instance the materialisation being more distinct than the preceding one. This was witnessed by all in the room, with gas burning sufficiently bright for every object in the room to be plainly visible. It was a phenomenon seldom to be seen, and has enabled all who saw it to vouch for not only the remarkable power possessed by Dr. Monck as a materialising medium, but as to the wonderful manner in which a spirit draws out and returns the material with which it covers itself, to prove its presence to all who can either hear, see or fee). Few mediums are without their traducers, and I am informed that Dr. Monck is no exception. The remarkable materialisations witnessed by some of the ablest and most truthful men of England through the mediumship of Dr. Monck, in a strong light, and vouched for by them over their own signatures, have been discredited by certain persons both here and in England; | |||
