	{{Style S-Small capitals\|Dear Sir}}: — I am a Spiritualist of twenty years’ experience in many countries. I am a great traveler; and no less than Mr. D. D. Home, collect the pretty personal histories I run across in various towns. I also keep a diary. In this Mr. Home’s name figures frequently as one of the first phenomena of Spiritualism that we had in Europe. One of your correspondents, who signs himself “Judex,” says that many persons, besides a certain Brooklyn doctor, have received letters from this sinister celebrity. The latter seems to make a speciality of crowding out of his way every one who makes claims to mediumship. His plan is to tattoo them with his own hand, and then shout to everybody to see how ugly they look. Fate has willed it that one of these letters should fall into my hands. Now, like all travelers I have my hobbies. I am a collector of autographs, portraits, and characteristic anecdotes. The letter in question deserves a conspicuous place in my portfolio, if for no other reason than because of the following impudent sentence: “When people are vain enough to set themselves ''up ''as teachers . . . they should tee that their credentials are in good order.” Sublime and immortal phrase! It is worthy the Messiah of the Spiritual World!~~'' ''~~One would infer from this letter that me writer's credentials were in such a state as to entitle him to the respect and admiration due to a ''Rosiere ''of Nanterre—one of those spotless virgins they crown with roses every year in France! Home may perhaps not recognize me under the name affixed to this letter, for I never sought his acquaintance. But if he saw me he might recall me, with that wonderful memory” he boasts of, as one against whom he often brushed in Rome. In those days rumors were circulated ''sotto voce'' that were very damaging to his character for wonderful purity. I hate publicity, but I hereby notify Mr. Home that, as the intimate friend of one of the relatives of the lady he insults in this famous letter, if he says one word more about her, I will send him my photograph with a copy of an article that will be printed. The article will add one "Incident" to the number he forgot to include in his very interesting memoirs. If my endorsement of this story, added to that of several other persons, will not be sufficient, I will refer Mr. Home to Messrs. Rhymer and Anthony Trollope for further particulars.		{{Style S-Small capitals\|Dear Sir}}: — I am a Spiritualist of twenty years’ experience in many countries.

	~~<center>HOW THE INDIANS HOLD COMMUNICATION WITH EVIL SPIRITS.</center>~~

	{{Style S-Small capitals\|These}} Indians believe in evil spirits who live in the water, and send sickness and disease among the people—a belief to which the occasional disasters caused by mussel or fish poisoning have doubtless given rise. They hold communication with these spirits through their sorcerers, but do not worship them in any way or try to propitiate them with offerings. When a Kolosh dies his body is burned, and a rude monument placed where the ashes are buried. They believe that the spirit lives forever, but have no idea of any reward for virtue or punishment for vice. According to their belief, strict distinction of rank is preserved in the other world, all the chiefs being in one place, the common people in another, and the slaves in a corner by themselves. Only when slaves are killed at the funeral of their chief their souls remain in eternal attendance on their master. This cruel custom was said to be abolished under the Russian rule, but it always has existed and is kept up to the present day, though the ceremonies are performed out of the reach of the authorities. Several cases of this kind have occurred since the transfer of the territory, in spite of the vigilence of the authorities, and no wonder, as our Government has done nothing to suppress slavery where it exist right under the very eyes of military rule.		{{Style S-Small capitals\|These}} Indians believe in evil spirits who live in the water, and send sickness and disease among the people—a belief to which the occasional disasters caused by mussel or fish poisoning have doubtless given rise.
