•I•ie lighted a candle and front same
unseen receptable produced a black
object like a mirror, about twelve
inches in length and nine inches in
diameter. It was concave, and black
as pitch. This he p'laccd in my hands,
espllaining that I most look into its
concave surface, AS my fingers touch-
ed the curious object, every 'point of
which was black as asphaltum, a curi-
ous sensation ran over my body, a
strange tremble that seemed to be car-
ried into my frame from mit my fing-
er-tips. 'Lite dim glimmer of the can-
dle, that lighted tape room batt. little,''
and the thing,I touched but could see
not at all, the solemn voice of the
negro, the air of mystery with which
he moved and spoke, following the re-
markable manner in which he bad out-
lined the experiences I met in Cincin-
nati, and that I supposed were lock-
edsecurely fn my own breast, un-
nerved me and my hands trembled.
"What is this thing, and where did
you get it?" I asked.

whose depths;I was peering and, re-
