Higginson called quarrels and Mr. Weiss antitheses did not result for good. Mr. Weiss thought that the lively time caused by his bomb-shell proved that point, and asked what kind of a Radical Club Mr. Higginson meant to get up in heaven without any quarrels. Mr. Temple wished to know what sort of music that would be in which there were no dissonances that needed resolution, using this analog} 7 to prove that quarrels gave zest to life ; and Mr. Powell told an anecdote of a Quaker lad} T, who, w...hile lying in a cateleptic trance, felt as if her soul were severed from her body ; while in this state she was con scious of an abilit\ T to will her spirit back into its earthly tenement, and did so by an effort. This, in Mr. Powell s opinion, showed that the soul was always in a state of action. Mr. ABBOTT said that he had been listening with interest to the discussion in the Halls of Valhalla, but it was too much for his avoirdupois, and he had to come down to earth. He thought Socrates was the best illustration of the absolute elimination of tragedy, and that in him that element found a solution in a pure personality.
