iproduotiSnahd' confirmation- of tho
marvelous phenomena, so patiently
sought and to accurately described bj'
Crooks. But we retained these results
without any human being in the cab
inet, and without any entrancement
of the mediums. The cabinet used
was eo constructed that entrance to it,
or exit therefrom, except by a door
which opened on the parlor iu which
we sat, was, as we verified by thor
ough examination, a physical impos
sibility. We usually sat about eight feet from
the cabinet, and there waq light
enough distinctly to recognize the
features und actions of everjT person
iu the room. The door of the parlor
was locked, except on one occasion,
when a gentleman, at his special re
quest, was allowed to sit in the corri
dor outside, so as to assure himself
that no one passed up or down stairs,
and on that evening the parlor door
was left open.
Under the circumstances, we had,
I think, every phenomenon which
Mr. Crooks had recorded saving this,
that "Katie" did not remain with us
in the parlor, in full form, more than
five minutes at any one time without
re-entering the cabinet; but she was
in the habit of coming out as often as
five or six times In one evening, if we
had a small select circle, and two or
three times when twenty or more
persons were present. I have con
versed with "Katie" at the aperture
seventy or eighty times, frequently
in regard to the manner of conducting
the sittings. On several of these oc
casions she read and replied to my
thoughts. I am as certain that It was
the same spirit from first to last, as I
can be iu regard to the identical in
dividuality of any friend whom I
meet daily. I parted with her, as Mr.
Crooks and Miss Cook did, with great
regret, almost as if I were taking
leave of a daughter.
A FRIENDLY SPIRIT.
1 have seen "Katie" issue from the
cabinet more than a hundred times In
lullform; passing in her graceful way
around the circle and addressing a
kind word or two or a "God bless
vou!" to the friends she knew. She
baa suffered me to cut from her head
a lock of hair; and she has herself

not open the note, suspended the cross
from her neck, kissed it, and return
ed to the Cabinet, olosing the door.
In a minute or two she returned with
the cross in one.hand and the note In
other, bent over me, and said in her
low, earnest voice, and with her
charming smile: "White and pure
and beautiful as me ia It ?" How did
she read that note? The cabinet,
with Its doors closed and its apertures
oovered with blaok ourtalcs, is, aa I
had often verified, quite dark. Ever
after, when she appeared, she wore
that cross on her breast, reminding
me of the well known lines in Pope's
"Bape of the Lock." I observed at
times, -when she issued from the cabi
net, this cross shone as with a phos
phorescent lustre. She had also given
to her by visitors a ring, a bracelet
and a locket, which she frequently
wore. The most usual gifts, how
ever, were nosegays, and thesa seems
to give her especial pleasure; she fre
quently, after smelling them, remark
ed to me how charmingly fragrant
they were. On one occasion I handed
to her a hair chain, which had been
presented to me by a friend, since de
ceased. This she took with her and
returned next day with a message j
from her who had given It to me.
I was in the habit, after each sit
ing, of carefully examining the cabi
net; but neither cross nor ring, nor
bracelet, nor locket, nor chain, was
ever to be found ; minute search, with
alight, did not even reveal a rose leaf.
SUSPENDED IN THE AIK.
I have seen "Katie." on seven or
eight different occasions, suspended
in full form about two feet from the
ground for ten or fifteen seconds. It
was within the cabinet, but within
full view ; and she moved her arms
and feet gently, as a swimmer up
right in the water might do. I have
seen her on five several evenings dis
appear ana reappear beiore m eyes,
and not more than eight or nine feet
distant. On one occasion, when I had
given her a calla lily, she gradually
vanished, holding it in her hard, and
fading out from the head down, and
the 1 Illy remained visible after the
hand which held it was gone, the
flower, however, finally disappearing
also. When she reappeared the lily
came back also, at first as a bright
spot only, which gradually expanded
into the flower. Thn "Katie" step

ssa spirit vanish and reappear,
At the close of my farewell sitting,
which had been appointed by "Katie"
herself for mid day, July 16, the door
of the cabinet opened slowly, without
visible agency. Nothing was to be
seen within except the black walnut
boards ; but after a minute or two
there appeared exactly as if emerg
ing from the floor first the head and
shoulders of "Katie," then her entire
body, and as on previous occasions,
after Etandiug a few seconds, she step
ped into the parlor and saluted us.
I may add that, during an evening
Bitting, at which my friend, Mrs. C.
Andrews, of Springfield, Mass., and
I alone were present, there issued In
full form from behind the cabinet two
figures besides "Katie," namely, an
Indian girl, taller than "Katie.'J with
dark face and rich Indian costume,
who advanced to us, allowed us to
touch her hands and dress, and gave
her name as "Sauntee ;' and after
ward a sailor boy, who told us he was
"Dick," a spirit that had several
times spoken to us In a dark circle.
It was the first time either of these
had appeared. They were as perfect
ly materialized as "Katie" herself,
came up close to us, and spoke to U3
distinctly, though only a few words.
A SPIRITUAL COMMUNICATION.
My Deab Friend I should be
sorry rf you inferred that the way in
which I sometimes appear and speak
to you and other friends when I am
materialized is a trueexponent of my
present condition, and that the rude
and trifling manner then exhibited is
a real reflection on my interior state, j
It is important that you should know
that spirits either in or out of the form,
as you call It, are to a very great ex
tent subject to the influences of the
material elements with whioh they
are clothed ; and if I could have you
spend a little time with me in an ap
preciative manner, In my interior
home iu spirit land, you would not
know me as the Bame Katie that calls
you "stupid," and uses expressions
which are often quite repulsive to my
inner consciousness. The laws of
spiritual manifestations are absolute,
and whenever a spirit approaches a
medium it must be more or less than
materialized, first, in order to come
Into the atmosphere of the earth, and
then into that of the midium; and,
if it presents in form, it is obliged,
under a law, to appear' a3 nearly as
may be as it was when it passed from
the earth. Thus a child of earth,
though grown into maturity in spirit
life, returns, as a ohild. Deformed
persons present their deformities with
precision. Spirits retain not only the
recollection of the earthly conditions
and appearanoes, but also the power
of assuming them in spirit life when
ever desirable. Tou will see the im
portance of maintaining or recurring
to the primitive conditions of spirit
life, at least for a time, and until all
those to whom a recognition is neces
eary shall have passed into that state;
for the power is retained so as to be
easily exercised until after all who are
living on earth at the time a spirit en
ters this world have slso passed on, so
that the new-born spirit cannot fail to
recognize its friends and relations. I
am requested to say to you that all
spirits, when they return to earth,
whether thoy communicate or not,
are Bubject to this law. They must
assume the condition they had when
they left the earthly form, although
they may bring to earth many tho'ts
and Idea3 which they have acquired
In the interior life ; but even these
are somewhat modified by being pre
sented through the conditions that
surround them at the time. For in
stance, seboiarB from the spirit land,
and speaking through mediums who
are ignorant of language and the rules
of grammar, may be compelled to use
the Incorrect expressions of the me
dium. It is a truth that "the spirits
of the prophets are subect to the pro
phets," and every spiritual communi
cation that has ever been given has
been more or less modified by the
channel through which it has passed,
as well as by the essentially material
istic conditions which spirits may
have been compelled to assume when
they came into the earth's atmos
phere.and into rapport with mediums.
KATIE'S IDENTITY.
As to the identity of "Katie" who
appeared to ue with the "Katie" who
was the subject of Mr. Crookes' in
vestigation, I see strong reason for ad
mitting it, and little or none for deny
ing It. In the main our experiences
on this side are but the counterpart of
yours, with such advance as in the
progress of all phenomenal experi
ments is to be expected. I do not be
lieve we could, have succeeded as we
did in PhiladelDhia unless vou had
prepared the way for us in London,
nor unless we had beenaided by the
same spirit that had acquired, during
the three j'ears' expeience with Flor
ence Cook as medium, the skill if I
may use the earthlj' expression
which enables her to present herself
in veritable earthly guise.
To judge by the London photograph
of "Katie," taken with Dr. Gullyt
the beautiful form and features with
which we are familiar here do not re
semble those which appeared to you,
nor is there here, as there was in
London, any resemblance whatever
between the spirit form and either of
the mediums. The face of your Katie
suggests the adjective pretty and in
teresting. The face of our "Katie" is
rather Grecian In Its regularity. Ear

it. One thinks of It 'as unquestion
ably handsome, a3 full of character,
as intellectual, and withal as singu
lar attractive; but one would never
term it pretty. The nose is straight,
not aquiline, as in the London photo
graph, and tho large eyes are dark
gray, with a'bluish tinge. The hair,
in beautiful ringlets, is fine and lite
rally golden in hue. "Katie's" face
is somewhat broader than the classi
cal model, the upper lip lees short,
and the features lesB delicately chis
eled, yet both features and expression
more nearly resemble those of some
old statue than they do the lineaments
and looks of Florence Cook, so far as
one can judge from her photograph.
But in this case identy must be judged
by internal evidence, not by outward
form, the mediums from whom is de
rived a necessary portion of the ele
ments to materalizehere und there be
ing entirely different.
"UNVEILING
OF" THE
STATUE.
LINCOLN
A QUERY.
If, now, I am to ask where all this
is to end, what is to become of it In
case familiar converse with visitors
from another world shall continue to
be permitted here. I reply that that is
not our affair. We have to deal for
the present with facts, not with the
results of facts. We are not the gov
ernors of this world, and need not
trouble ourselves with predictions
looking to the ultimate consequences
of natural phenomena. Cosmical or
der has never, so far, been disarrang
ed by any new class of truths, and if
we fear that It ever will, we shall
merit the reproach : "Oh, ye of little
faith.''
I hold It of all human privileges
the greatest to have been permitted to
obeerve these phenomena. To witness
them marks an era in one's life.

THE FOREIGN ELEMENT.
The populationjof the city of New
York is probably one-third foreign
born. The American population
from all tho States and Territories,
for business interests drive just so
many from every locality;to this com
mon oentre. The boutn is tuny rep
resented here. The war ruined hun
dreds of thousands of Southerners,
who were compelled to do some busi
ness that they might live, and they
drifted into New York, beoause, being
a cosmopolitan city, they would stand
a better show of getting something to
do that they could live at. There are
thousands of ex-captafns, colonels
and generals of the ex-Confederacy
in New York ; in fact the number is
so great that. In the event of another
conflict between the sections, it would
be a question as to where New York
would stand. Take the strong Demo
cratic majority, and add to it the enor
mous Southern element that has set
tled here since the war, rind the great
city might be fairly counted on the
side of the South.
But it was not of native foreigners
that I started to write.
The foreign"eIementprbper has al
ways been Immense, and of late years
itihas swelled beyond any one's idea.
FRENCH
occupy the territory bounded by Canal
Amity, Broadway and South Fifth
avenue. Within the territory you
never hear a word of German, and
very little English. You might as
well be in Paris. The occupations
followed are peculiarly French. There
are French laundryv.French boarding-houses,
glove cleaners, boot-makers,
confectioners, and occupations of
these natures, The French ore by
themselves, have their own associa
tions and amusements, and fraternize
with no other people. They do not
expect to stay In America they are
I here till they can accumulate enough
to go back to French. This is their
ambition. They are, however, a so
ber, industrious and useful people.
Crime is almost unknown among

Wash Nathan, whose father was mur
dered some years ago, is a type of the
class. The Jewish element Is very
large, and is one of the most useful in
the city. There Is a prejudice against
It, but despite that prejudice, they are
good, csefulr orderly, quiet, prosper
otfa citizens. While they are in a
state of poverty, they are industrious
and law-abiding. When they become
rich, they are pushing and progres
sive. They have built the best builoV
Ings In the city, and there is no great
work in the city in which Jewish
names will net be found profusely
sprinkled. The
NEGROES
are not to be classed as foreigners, but
they area distinctive race. They have
selected the Eighth Ward a3 their
grand centre, though there are large
colonies of them in other parts of the
city. There is no class of people in
in the city more divided than the
colored. They feel the most intense
anxiety to get on in the world, for
since emancipation and enfranchise
ment have given them a show in the
world, they want all there is of it.
The negro who has amassed money is
a king among them, and there are
many erf these monarcho. They are
orderly, hard-working, determinedly
industrious and saving. There Is very
little crime among them, and very
little drunkenness or dissipation.

Is everywhere, and he Is here, just
what he Is everywhere. Thousands
upon thousands of the sons of Erin
have risen to affluence and distinc
tion. They really govern the city,
for they act together and work to
gether, and are so consolidated as to
wield a power beyond what their
cumbers entitle them to. They are
the same in New York as everywhere
else. They are addicted to whisky,
are mercurial, hasty, generous and
quarrelsome, witty, brave, cruel. In
short they are; a curious compound of
all that is good and bad. Which is to
say the good in them is intentional,
while the bad is not. As they be
come educated and get responsibilities
they become more solid and settled.
