One Of the Fox Sisters.

A reporter has seen and talked
with Margaret Fox-Kane, whose his
tory is an eventful one. One Of the
Fox sisters who developed the Ro
chester knockings thirty years ago,
and who afterwards married Elisha
Kent Kane, the Arctic explorer, now
lives in retired quiet, still pursuing
her spiritism for her own and the
benefit OF immediate friends. The
reporter, who met her at the private
house Of friend in Brooklyn, says
she has a slight figure, dressed in
black, good looking, with handsome
eyes and pretty hair, but her face has
o tired look and its expression is not
q happy one. She drew her chair up
beside her guests, and instantly there
were raps heard on the floor and un-
der the chair where she sat. The
several questions put as to the per-
sonality Of spirits, were replied to in
diligently, and in few moments she
was the medium Of u written COM
munication from Charlotte Bronte.
The reporter says Mrs. Fox-Kane i'm
pressed him rs lonely, soul-sick
woman, wishing with oil her heart
that she had never known the power
which has not made her any the hap
pier for its POSSESSIONS which does
not yield her any adequate return
for all the sorrows she has borne in
her strange life.
We clip the above from late duly
paper. It is the first reference we
have seen for a long time to the Fox
sisters. The reporter is mistaken as
to one fact. Miss Fox was never reg
ularly married to DR.. Kane. He was
devotedly attached to her, and she
claims gave her such pledges as in
the eye Of the law amounted to a
marriage. But he never openly &C
knowledged her rs his wife, and after
his death his wealthy and aristocratic
family repudiated her story. To vim
dictate herself she published his letters
to her, about 1870. The book was
entitled ''The Love Life of DR.. Kane.
We have q copy, and it is a very Gu
rieus and interesting volume.
Through his influence she abandon
ed the "medium" business for time,
and he evidently aoouu have married
her had lie not lacked the moral cour-
age to brave the sentiment OF the So
cial circle in which he moved, by 30
doing.
