buy up the proprietors of papers, which, you see, makes all the difference in the world; and hence there is a marked contrast in regard to the claims of wealthy Tweedledee, and impecunious Tweedledum, who are, after all, precisely right, because exactly on the same ground. Spiritual and electric photography is, and ever was and wiil be, true; and crystal seership, and mirror visions, and such photography, are one and the same thing, operated by the same laws and principles, and underlaid and subtended by precisely the same wonderful esoteric chemistry; and the only difference, if any, lies in the fact that but few persons can get spiritual photographs, while a great many can obtain very satisfactory, but evanescent, pictures, by means of a differently sensitized plate,— a fact I have seen demonstrated hundreds of times, as thousands of others have whom I never saw, heard, or knew.
The male mirror is superior to either of the others. Its foci are four inches apart. The basin is over seven inches by five in the clear ovoid, and of course its field is immense. ‘They are better adapted to professional use than private experiment, because they are capable of, and frequently do, exhibit three separate and distinct vivoramas, at one and the same time, to as many distinct on-lookers. I have often wished I could make these mirrors; but that is impossible, as three continents furnish the materials composing them. And even the frames and glasses must be imported from beyond the seas; as must also the strangely sensitive material wherewith the sympathetic rings are filled; concerning which rings and their brightening, when the future is well, and their strange darkening, when evil impends, or friends fall off, and lovers betray, the quadroons of Louisiana, as well as the women of Syria, could tell strangely thrilling tales. And in consequence of the importance attached to these rings and mirrors, counterfeits of them have been, in times past, put forward, albeit the parties who obtained them were themselves to blame, seeing that but one person — Vilmara—ever imported either to this country.
III. No mirror or ring must be allowed to be handled much, if at all, by other than the owner thereof; because such handling mixes the magnetisms and destroys their sensitiveness. Others may Zook into them, holding by the box in which the frame is kept, but never touching either frame or glass.
IV. When the glass surface becomes soiled or dusty, it may be cleaned with fine soap-suds, rinsed well, washed with alcohol, or rubbed with a little fluoric acid, and then polished with soft velvet or chamois leather.
V. A mirror must not be neglected; but should frequently be magnetized by passes with the right hand, five minutes at a time. This is calculated to keep it alive, and give it strength and power.
VI. Passes with the Je/t hand add to its magnetic sensitiveness.
VII. The longer time, and frequency of its use, the better it becomes.
VIII. The somnifying or magnetizing power of the glass is obtained
