MORE ABOUT THE sPTRTrS-

Those OF our readers who feel any interest in
the matter, have probably not forgotten a COM
munication from US, dated at ~ Y City, and
published in this paper, on the subject of the
phenomena, popularity known as the rap
pings" We then minated that we should COM
municate further on the subject, but other mat
tiers lnterposing, the intention was not carried
into effect. We are told, that by some our ST.
lence has been interpreted into change in opin-
ion from that intimated in the communication in
question, and we are told also that there are some
who would like to hear further on the subject.
Our experience in the matter has been so similar
to that of hundreds of others, which has been
detailed through every avenue of intelligence.
that when called ON we feel very much like the
poor knife grinder, who had no story to tell
In what little we do say, we shall speak rather
of the opinions we formed and the conclusions to
which we arrived, than of our experience. We
will say however, that we propounded variety
of questions, orally, verbally, and mentally, to
the invisible agents, all of which were answered
readily and correctly. To us, and no doubt to all
present, these two facts were clearly established
The existence of the rappings or sounds, and the
presence of an intelligence, which comprehend
ed the most secret thoughts of those present, as
well as their written and spoken questions.
These, we say, are facts established, if the ia
cuties and capacities given to mankind for re-
ceiying facts and judging, are worth any thing.
Let us ask then, in all candor, what will account
for these things? We are aware that many at
tempts to account for them have been made, but
we are confident there has been none in any res
pect satisfactory to those who have at all studied
the matter, leaving out the claim of spiritual com
munication. So far as any agency of the fe-
males upon whom these demonstrations attend,
in producing these sounds, is concerned we cam
not do better perhaps than to introduce the fol-
lowing from the N. Y. Tribune:

u The following are the concluding para
graphs of an essay upon advertising by Horace
Greeley, which obtained silver cup as aprize
premium for the best essay on that subject.
"There is large class who delight to shine
in newspapers and placards as wits or poets, and
announce their wares in second hand Jokes or in
doggere fit to set the teeth of a dull saw on
edge. If their object is notoriety or laugh,
this is the way to attain it but if it be business,
it would seem better to use the language of bu-
siness. Leave clowns jests to the circus, and
let sober men speak as they act, with directness
and decision. The fewest words that will con-
vey the advertisers ideas are the right ones
"Men of business are partly aware of the i'm
mense change which few years have wrought
in the power of the Public Press. few years
since, circulation of three thousand copies was
avery large one for daily paper; now there
are journals issuing forty to fifty thousand cop
les daily, while lists of ten to twenty thousand
are frequently, and rapidly increasing AS
general rule, an advertisement in paper now
will meet the eyes of four to ten times as many
persons like announcement would have done
twenty years ago. 1t is easy to place one where
it will meet the eyes of one hundred thousand
persons within two days, or, by using half doz-
en- papers, to challenge the attention Of half
million persons. When it is practicable TO at
tain such publicity at the cost of few dollars,
and when some actually do obtain it, how can
those who neglect 1t expect to build up new
business? An old one may subsist, until its
customers gradually drop off by death or removal
but he who would build up business now must
"be like the time" and improve the advantages it
offers. Foremost among these is the facility
now so cheaply afforded for General Advertis-
ing. To neglect it is like resolving never to
travel IT. by steam nor communicate by telegraph.
on living in perpetual darkness. An individual
may do this at his own cost; but community,
class will never act so nsanely; and he who
neglects the advantages of advertising not only
robs himself of his fair advantages, but bestows
the spos on his wiser rivals"
