CLAIRVOYANCE.

(From .the New Zealand Times.) ■ Miss Quick, the clairvoyant, has ; eceritly given a private exhibition of i he power of the faculty she possesses, i L medical man 1 was present, and .draitted the correctness of Miss Quick's : liagnosis of the internal organs of the übject she had in hand, Diagnosing iy the aid of hair supposed to have o have been taken ,from subjects was i hen ..undertaken'.';with, however no esiilt beyond a quiet.admission by the i laii'voyaat that she-felt no control whatever. This wasa triumphant test n her favor, for when the hair was ixauiined it was found to consist of iwo single hairs only, that were' not iven guaranteed as human, Then a nember of tlio company undertook to irovide a lock of human hair that bad )een handled only by the subject from . vhose head it was taken. The result )i this experiment was both gratifying imi remarkable Having taken hold if the hair, the clairvoyant soon went nto a trance condition. We may oV serve tbat one of the ladies of the wmpany supplied'the lock Of hair, but this was only known to the host and hostess and one other person in the room. The effect upon the clairvoyant was very singular. Whilst ontranced she was affected by everything which affected the subject, If the latter smiled so did she. The subject had beer, complaining of si ight giddiness and pain in the head—tho clairvoyant was sitniliarly affected; the subject struck her side once or twice with her hand, and remarked to a lady by her side that she seemed to have a tightness about her heart; immediately the clairvoyant spoke of an affection of the heart. She furthermore averred that the subject seemed to be healthy, but hero the entranced state ended, for it. began to be whispered how matters stood and everybody laughed. Another meeting was held on a subsequent evening, but as the medical men who were, expected were too busy to attend, nothing eventuated. The object of the meeting was solely for the purpose of putting! to.the'test the utility of clairvoyance as the physician's assistant. That Miss Quick ia eminently qualified to act in such a capacity is, we think, beyond dispute. It now rests with the faculty to make use-of her. We have long held with those who belieyo that clairvoyance and mesmerism are fated to. effect radical reforms in the practice of medicine. But tho skilled physician will always be indispensable. i.
