The Anthropological subsection will no doubt give prominence to a discussion upon Measles as a Religious Element among the Andamanese; and an adjournment could hardly be reached without a fight over the old puzzle, whether it is probable that the American stovepipe represents the form of the prayer-cylinder of the Lacustrians. If Professor Buchanan, who has forgotten more about Anthropology than any of them ever knew, should attempt to crowd upon them the complete study of Man in all his relations, he will be coughed down and the floor granted to somebody who has a speech ready upon the reticulated button-hole of the Bergalese rajpoot's coat. And yet they are not happy. | The Anthropological subsection will no doubt give prominence to a discussion upon Measles as a Religious Element among the Andamanese; and an adjournment could hardly be reached without a fight over the old puzzle, whether it is probable that the American stovepipe represents the form of the prayer-cylinder of the Lacustrians.

... | ''To the Editor of the Daily Graphic.'' | ||
I am place den so false a position before the reading public by a part of your review of my book, “People from the Other World,” that 1 ask the favor of space for a few remarks. In his friendly desire to say pleasant things of me, your reviewer makes it appear that my tests of the mediums were so crucial as to be actually cruel. He remarks of them, that “they were often very ingenious, and sometimes almost cruel to the mediums, who were subjected to the strain of painful positions sometimes for hours, and until they suffered utter nervous prostration;” whereas the fact is, that the matters in question were tests resorted to by sundry “committees of sceptics,” and denounced by me as brutal and unnecessary. In the whole course of my investigations, I never inflicted a moment’s pain upon a medium, nor do I consider it necessary to do so. I am no advocate for shooting or stabbing the materialized spirits without consent, nor the seizure of the forms, nor the use of vitriol. I agree with Mr. Crocker, that there are more scientific methods than these, and believe that it is perfectly easy to satisfy myself as to the verity of alleged phenomena without resort to cruelty. In the case of Mrs. Compton, of Havana, N. Y., a single thread of sewing cotton passed through the perforated lobes of her ears and sealed with wav to the back of her chair, proved as effective a safeguard against fraud, as the most ingenious of manacles, or the most intricate tangle of knots could have been. | |||
The large sale with which my book is meeting, proves that the public interest in “materialization” has been in no wise abated by the preposterous ''expose ''of the Katie King humbug, while before long, things will occur in this city, that will raise the excitement to fever heat A “Miracle Club” is being organized by some of the best of our citizens, who have secured the attendance of a private gentleman, in whose presence every wonder of Modern Spiritualism, including the materialization of the full-length spirit forms, occurs without a cabinet and in the light. | |||

... | The Brooklyn Spiritualist Society furnishes us a new portrait this week to hang in our Rogues' Gallery—that of Mrs. Jennie Holmes. | ||
We cannot say that we are are very sorry for the complaining parties. If they chose to pay Mrs. Holmes to perform her antics, in a cabinet, and in a sleazy bag with bogus seams, which she brought with her, they ought not to be coming before the public with either a whine over the trickery which on general principles, they ought to have expected, or a show of virtue that they have made a partial demonstration of its occurrence. If this committee Consider that they have done all they should by the public or themselves, they are greatly mistaken. They had no right to sit with a woman who brought such nonsensical “test” apparatus with her. They should have supplied their own as Col. Olcott did, and as they acknowledge he did. This other is investigation with a vengeance! | |||
That Mrs. Holmes ''was ''a genuine medium, is certain. If other proof were lacking, that furnished by Col. Olcott's scientific experiments supplied it amply. He not only surrounded the medium with every safeguard that his own ingenuity suggested, but also called in two different professional jugglers to examine his test-bag, and show ''how ''it might be tampered with. | |||
