After penuing ft ! think the rea.non will be satisfied. Whatever of docoption may have been practioe<l. that the toe joint story is an fneffabio humbug. Jt was in ISoQ that the Fox girls came to Nevr York, astounding reports liaving |iroce<led them of the noisy visitation of the spirits which had literally compelled them to leave their homo. Dr. Itufns Vf. Oriarwold the author and critic, oo* copied rooms at that time in Broadway, between Bleecker and Houston streets. These were on the first floor and held his large and valuable library, i He waa an nu believer in regard to the ’♦tappings,” not only m far as any spirit- nal influences prevailed, but with respect to the production of tlie sounds them- selves, which he prouonneed “all trick.”• It was projKwed to invite these girls to meet a number of gentlemen - at Dr.‘ (iriswold’s rooms, where it was exi)t*cte<l the “spirits" would l>e preseiit. when wo felt confident of exitosiiig the humbug.
