The mediums were moving about the parade ground on the second floor iu a spectre-likJ? way, but the misguided "subjects of democratic legerdemain failed to "misguide," "mis-guide," whereupon the shadowy mediums held a caucus among themselves and on the motion of the Mars-like gentleman, late of the gubernatorial chair, another call was posted for the "democratic" workingmen.
