went to the house of the Estes broth-

together at Post Oak Tavern, Mon-

fast, after which the strangers took
two of the Estes brothers out and
murdered them about one-half mile
from the town and left. The same
night while friends were sitting up
with the corpses, thfi same party
that murdered the two brothers re-
turned and dragged the remaining
brother out of the house a, distance
of fifty yards and there murdered
him. The parties were unknown to
the citizens of the county in which
the murders were committed. The
Estes-brothers, report sayeth, bore
an unenviable reputation; of this
we know nothing.

The Kansas City yournal has an
interesting editorial in a recent is-
sue, over a column in length, with
the above heading, from which we
take the liberty to make the follow-
ing liberal extracts:
It was the last night of March
1848, that the “Rochester knockings”
had their origin, which may betaken
as the birth of what, for want of a
better word, is called spiritualism, in
the United States and which has
grown in interest and in believers
until to-day it numbers its hundreds
of thousands, scattered over all the
civilized countries of the erlobe.
But it seems to have been reserved
for this year of 1S74 for the most re-
markable phenomena and manifes-
tations yet claimed from the world
beyond this. The latest phase, and
which is attracting wide attention
from tiie public and the press, of
both Europe and America, is what
are called “materialized spirits”—or
the appearance in human form of
persons long since dead, and these
latter phenomena challenge a class
of minds that have never aoproached
the subject before.
Prof. Crookes, of the British Roy-
al Scientific society, and others have i “chtenser
hriDM tc\ 1* mm"D r vin n i-n.i*• i ~
Mr. Mott, which is described as uan
humble cottage, standing ofl’ by its-
elf, with no hiding places about it,
not even a cellar.” But he does not
always have them at his house, but
can hold his seances anywhere.
This Mr. Mott is not tied with a
rope; he will allow himself to be
hand-cuffed and|bolted to the floor
with a chain by any blacksmith—
and it is all the same. Iiis ghostly
visitors seem to be more perfectly
developed than even those of the
Eddy’s. Sisters have kissed living
brothers, fathers talked with daugh-
ters, and dead friends been recog-
nized and talked to in scores of in-
stances, as we are informed by men
of character through the press.
Such are the statements as they
appear almost daily, from the cor-
respondents of the metropolitan
newspapers. We have in no in-
stance quoted from spiritual organs
—only from the ordinary newspaper
correspondent.
All this has given a wonderful re-
vival to the Spiritual theories, and
thousands are attracted to them
where but scores have been in the
past.
Their theory is that the spirits are
subject to certain taws as we in the
flesh, and t.iat they are discovering
new methods of intercourse with the
world, just as we discover new for-
ces in nature and utilize them. That
at first they could only make raps or
concussions ; then they could appear,
but only in the dark, as light, being i
a material substance, interfered.
Now they are able to manifest in a
subdued light, but that before long
they will have ovarcome all obstac-
les, and will hold their seances in
open da}-, and on the streets. That
as some persons in the flesh possess
medium; stic powers, and others do
not, so some spirits possess material-
izing power and others do not, and
some a larger degree of it than oth-
ers.
It is the duty of men who lead the
faith ot the people to inquire into
these things. If delusions, they are
doing immense harm, and it only
aggravates the evil to laugh at, or
deride them, without any argument
or demonstration to convince those
who accept them as true.
One of the main things that pre-
vents men of character and pride of
opinion from investigation, is the
fear of ridicule. But this will not
excuse them, for the

facts as presented to them, very cu-
rious, very incomprehensable, but
mainly interesting from their declar-
ation that as yet they have detected
no collusion between mediums and
outside parties, or in other words,
they have discovered no trick in the
matter.
But what is attracting most atten-
tention now is the Eddy farm house,
Chittenden, Vermont. The Eastern
press has been full of accounts for
some months, and even the illustrat-
ed papers have sent their correspon-
dents and artists, to give both pen
and pencil descriptions. Several
men ot scientific attainments have
been there for days and weeks—Ire-
far before they are aware, that it will
take the united thunders of all com-
bined for a generation to come to
correct it.
