Spirit Scenes anil Seances- The Hope Beyond l "Jonrnal" Reporter Visits a Salem Medium &M liears Spirit Mappings. A Capital Journal man had heard it hinted so often that there were a good many spiritualists In Salem that he decided to follow a line of Investigations -for himself. Accordingly, he reflected over all the rumors and paid a visit a few ev6n- 1 togs ago to a retired little cottage on an off street, where tno oaiem spirit ualists were said to make their head quarters anrt wuerc a meaium or no little force was thought to live. Finding tho cottage, his rap was answered by an elderly gentleman whose hair was silvered atid whose head was bowed with age. Tho re- 1 porter was welcoriied in, and the venerable spiritualist, alter learning the mission of tho guest, proceeded to enlighten him. The old gentle man was the so-called medium. He said the Bible assured us there was a future state and he was sure our own selfish longings prompt ed us to sincerely hope thut stfch might be the case. Whether there are two places one for the reward of virtue, the other for tho punish ment of crime he could not say, but leaves each one to settle thoso questions according to tho dictates of his own reason. Continuing, ho said : "Neither will I attempt to locate thesiteof our future homeand iceno of our post earthly existence, "Tho human mind is Inquiring ever reaching out to gain additional knowledge or fathom deep myster ies. It penetrates the earth's very center and tells us of her age and formation j it rises above the clouds and tells us of tho air and tlio ele ments ; it studies tho sun and moon and stars and planets, apd tells us something of their sizes and dis tances. But all attempts to peer Into the future, or to learn of this life beyond, are met with such results as givo no direct satisfaction. How ever it is that the direction from which comes even tho faintest ray of light or hope is besieged by those who seek to be enlightened or to have their curiosity satisfied. Spiritualism does this. It say's to the conscientious inquirer, 'seek and ye shall find,' and legmu is tho name of thoso who are honestly investiga ting." Here tho reporter ventured ti in quire how the old gentleman had happened to become so firmly fixed a the belief. Begging pardon for he length of his story, the hoary headed medium narrated tho All ewing: "Unwillinit to acceDt tho current theories, and bellevinc It not ihibos- ible for friends who have preceedod ra to that bourno to communicate ith earthly beings, years and years ago I sought an unpretentious Medium of my acquaintance. Though not boasting of his strengthf e Possessed considerable magnetic Power, and was controlled by bov. eral spirits who were to him near Nations or friends, bVi earth. Asa searcher after truth-a skeptic In comnanv with aft-tand who was 1,30 an unbeliever. I called at tho Medium's residence one evening. The heavy walnut kitchen table was "eared for our usn. mid nlnflnr it In e ceuter of tho room, wo drew our nira near and placed our hands on The lamps meamvbilo were burning brightly. All was still as wth for a fow minutes, when a cold Pory air enveloped us as a veil. A unearthly shudder crept over us " tho tablo began to tip and sway, ue distinct tip was construed to n 'yos, while two was to moan w.' By this cipher we were able 10 receive Intelligent answers to tloii9 asked eithor orally or totally. My friend requested tho fit8 to causo three loud and tils "n r..p9 unon tho table. HIa re quest was no sooner made thau ful filled. Wc asked many questions which were very accurately answer ed by the raps. Tho performer licxt exhibited a disposition to write, and a slate was given him. "Wo ih turn were favored with messages from long departed friends, of whom tho medium had no knowledge. I was already beginning to believe there must bo something in it. after all, but my co-investigator continued to doubt and mistrust. FinalTyhosat down on the tAble, saying, 'if it will riso bodily from the floor, with me on it, T am a convert.' As sure as there is a life beyond, that table at onco became animated, and arose two feet from tho lloor. There could have been notrickery. The medium and I each had ou r hands on the table. This was convincing. If a spiritual power lifted au ounce before mo I would as firmly believe in spiritual Ism as if it were to raise an iron safe or a biick house. They had produc ed knock-down arguments, as tho term goes, and we were ushered into tho ranks of the faith. "From that time tho friend referr ed to was a firm believer. He was in poor health, and used often to promise me If ho crossed over first that he would return to me from the 'other side of life.' "He has now been dead five years and though I have repeatedly sought him, not onco has he made manifest his presence by rap or sound. I am still watching and waiting for him, ftnd believe that as soon as ho is able to overcome certain obstacles he will greet me. Thero aw many myste rious things about spiritualism which wo cannot understand, but those wh6 work diligently and faithfully will be rewarded. Thes6 manifestations you observe to-night arc convincing, 'don't you think 0" The reporter thought they were, and took his departure. But he has been uusy thinking ever since, and still wonders what there is in spirit ualism. MAIL LETTIN6S. NOTICE TO CONTRACTORS. POSlOFFICE DEPARTMENT. Washington, D. C. Feby. 1, 1889.
