PESTILENCK AND PLAGUE PRODADLE DR, FULTON 3S \LARMIANG PREDICTION IN BROOKLYN, N. ¥., TAB ACLI There was a good deal of interest fested at the Brooklyn Temple, N. Y., hear what Dr. which is more destructive than diptheria. His remar ks were based upon Reve lation, , 17—‘* And the Angel poured ont. his vial into the air.” there is a power above F the znir which surrounds us and ~ oak us—- the worl d, w hich is the most universally or know. bow. The air sent element we have pre- It is pos- . Ve time the aif seemed overcharged, and the pestilence which burst forth in the 15th year of Justinian was not checked or alle- | viated by any difierence of the seasons dur- ing fifty two years. tis known that that plague came from the puirefaction of ani- mal substances, and especially from the swarms of locusts, not less destructive to mankind in their deata than in their lives. The Doctor deseri e an great ts beanty and what it contains, and then called attention to the havec made in Mem . Tenn., recentis well as 3Ven vears ago, whe have aes that there is no peril which skill and edu cation cannot provide against. But the Doctor said we should not forget the epi- zocty which came upon us in 1872. Yes- terday it crossed the border, hun- dreds of miles away; to-day it settles upon beasts of the field and in the stall, upon the well clad and fed aud upon the neglected and rejected alike. The streets grew silent ; business was suspend- ed ; the vial was por ured out into the air, and the result was peril threatening the rich and poor alike. As never before men felt that’ God was heving a controversy with us. At this hour diphtheria is. ravaging the It is in Russia, in Asia, Siti is here. Noone is safe. Physicians are as helpless as children. ‘There are those who believe that this disease is the resuit of a disturbance in the atmosphere, consequent, upon the perihelion of the four great plan- ets—Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and Saturn. in 542 and 1665 three of the planets — Mars, Jupiter and Saturn—were in perihelion, in Its phis, as 3 n Wwolild i } ti thik aud these were the worst plague eras of which history has any record. In 1720 Mars and Jupiter were in perihelion, and in the single city of Marseilles, France, 52,000 out of 75,000 the population died, It is believed that there may be coming on the world again calawities that have not hitherto been known. There are perils sleeping in the hand of God to which the contagion now devastating our homes would be but as a drop before an impend- ing shower. A change in the chemical properties of the atmosphere would poison the air and the water, &c. It is thought that such a change is at hand which will blot out the intemperate and the weak from the face of the earth. Should this come Asia would be depopulat ed, Russia weuld be imperriled, and, un- less correct sanitary measures are taken, the large cities of our American Atlantic coast will suffer incalculable harm. The perihelia threatens to bring other inflic- tions, such as storms and tidal waves, which willswamp whole cities. The Doc- rain of fire in Wiscon- when even the rivers and men and women streets as if in the tor referred to the sin a few years ago, were in a blaze, dropped dead in the mouth of a furnace. God can change the face of the earth again as He has done in the past by atmcespheric and physical dis- turbances, and without these also. The plague that is worse than Uiphtheria is sin, which will destroy the sou! as well as the body of the sinner. __ eo + — Sniritualism Expos vei. A METHODIST MINISTER TAKES THE or THE SPTIRIT’S SAILS—EVERY A FRAUD. WIND OUT MEDIUM A Methodist minister of Boston, Mr. A, A. Waite, who was formerly said to be a medium, and who, befors his Conversion, was also for some time with the Davenport srothers,recently declared publicly that all mediums were most certainly frauds. Being challenged to prove this bye Col. Francis King, he offered to meet that per- son with the best medium he could pro-'| duce at Tremont Tempie, Boston, and then and there prove his ass sertion by reproduce- ing at the same instant the same results, under the same conditions, or publicly ac- knowledge his failure. It appears that Mr. Waite let cut the secret of his past life, when Mr. Joseph Cook was entrapped into a quasi recognition of . THE GENUINENESS OF SPIRITUALISTIC ACLES. Mr. Waite then performed all these mar- MIR- vels for the benefit of his clerical associates, mani- | to his Sunday evening sermon, about a disease ‘for the live Yankee. We realize, he said, that| finally we cannot contro! and to which it is wise to | W aite -tones. Two illusirations will sufiice. sible for an influence soto infest the air| that the mountaineer amid his fastnesses, the miner in his desert. the meslem in his raosyue, the Cossack in his steppees, the king upon his throne, the mother in her bonsehoid. the child in the cradle— all will feel its vibrations and receive | the taint of its influence and respond in var- ; ious ways.to its potent force. ‘Think, said the Doetor, of 250,000 people plunged into eteruity by the throes of ani earthquake i Antioch, or of from five to ten thonsan: 1| dying g from the cifvets of a pestilence in onstantineple daily f or three months ! At} ate ee en ~ — ei that Mr. Cook had been de- ceived. Being urged for the sake of souls the hr issued the above and the to expose imbug he ‘challenge, which: was accepted, ‘meeting took pt ace before some three thon- sand people. ‘The ‘‘ medium” claimed te be ac‘ed upon by ‘ Samoset,” and } erforme ed his tricks with marvellous success; but J. D. Fulton had to say in the spirit of the old Indian was no match Whatever the medium \did in his cabinet Mr. Waite did on the (open stage before the audience, with still ‘greater skill and snecess. The medium suddenly disappeared from the | stage, and the mixed committee, as well as | Col. King himself, acknowledged that Mr. had done e verything that the |medium had done. Col. King said that he ae explain it only on the ground that HIMSELF A jrather a flimsy pretence, considering the fact that Mr. Waite had not only perform- ; MR. WAITE WAS MEDIUM, ‘ed these tricks on the open stage, but had how they were done.

They testified that he did not |moved, but spirit hands stroked their faces, i voices were heard, instruments piayed, the gentleman received severe blows over the head, and distinetly saw a ‘spirit face look- ling down on him. Mr. Waite then» per- | formed exactly the same trick in his cabi- explained / most surp 'were éxhibited, mediuw was in and ye nilem un iwo being ower,’ net, with the same gentleman and lady, resnits.

The last test was a severe one, which was suggested by the Committeeand long objected to by the ‘* medium.” The Committee bound his thumbs together with small cord and sealed the knot with wax, He went into his cabinet, and after some delay the usnal manifestations were heard and hands were seen outside the cloth. The cabinet was opened and the seal was found unbroken. Mr. Waite at once repeated the trick on the open stage, with eqnal suecess, and showed that it was done by a peculiar formation of the bones of the thamb, which wade it impossible to tie them. He then gave his thumbs, to the ** medium” and his. aid, who exerted their Whole strength in- tying them. At the moment when the greatest strain wason theia, he instantly withdrew one hand and presented it free to the medium, # _ 2. 2 oe «+ New York and London. In round numbers the population of London, the greatest city in the world, is three times that of York. Tt is the sent of the court and Parliament of a N ew mighty ewnire, and its public works are constructed on a magnificent scale. Yet the total costs of the mnuni¢ipal vovern- ments of London are less than those of New York. The net annual expenses of New York, which need to be provided for through taxation, fluctuate between $90,- 000,000 and $33,000,090, the annual bal- ance sheet covering over $80,000,000 for receipts and about the same for expenditures. The debt of the city, according to the comptroller’s lee! statement, was $137,431,418; sink- in fund $34.906,467. Deduct sinking fund and adding up outstanding revenue bonds, wliich are tempo rary loans made in anticipation of taxes, and the net debt will be $122,745,127. This involves an annual interest charge of not less than $10,000, O00. he public works expenditures are about $4,000,000 a year, aud the miscel- laneous list for ‘*‘ general purposes” aver- aves about $29,000,000. In Mr. Goschen’s report on local taxation in 1869 the expen- ses of London, less repayment for debt aad book-keeping entries, -aggregated . $35,- 961,570,- but this incinded $1 3,159,005 for public works. Last year the total ex- vf London, ineluding the charges of the city proper, of the metro- politan board of works, the school boards and the police board, were $31.940,000. If we add to this $1,000,000 for London’s share in the courts we get a total expendi- ture of about $35,000,000, of which only about $18,000,000 comes from direct tax- ation, the remainder being proceeds of licenses, markets, and of the various pro- ductive properties owned by the municipal- ily. These figuresdo not need (o becompared together tofprove how much more costly the ingilicient municipal niachine of New York is than that of London, in spite of the dif- ference in population. No better proof of the need of municipal reform in New York coulk lb 1 addne vod —_— ee penaiture 5 Rewisiay for Hard Verane. Stop spending so much on fine clothes, rich food and style.
