The Governor of "Wyoming closed his thanksgiving proclamation with "Give thanks into the Lord, for his mercy endureth for ever. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand, and caused the seal of the territory to be affixed. An Unhappy Table-tipper.—Mrs Theoph.lus Young, of Boston, is an unhappy woman. The excellent lady is a spiritualistic medium, who was in the habit of giving exhibitions of her powers. She would play a piano a few minutes, and then the instrument would keep time by lifting its front |«gs clear from the floor. She gave a searivie in Providence, and, by inadvertence, only a low chair was provided for her to sit in. So strenuous was she in insisting upon having a higher stool that callous unbelievers grew suspicious, and when the piano danced to her playing they caught her lifting it with her knees. Whereupon Mrs Theophilus Young, of Boston, became indignant, and retired in tears. How strange it is that men will be so sceptical when great truths are revealed to them.
