We see by the New York ''Sun'' that one of its correspondents had paid a visit to the Eddys and thoroughly exposed them? Yet we fail to sea how any rational person can take stock in the explanation which he gives. Even allowing that their performances are all the results of trickery, any one who has ever been there can not help but see how this unknown correspondent misrepresented a great many things. His principal object it would seem, was to create a sensation, and in this he has had his ambition gratified, for every paper nearly has had its columns headed in glaring capitals, "Exposure of the Eddys.''

The papers relating to the Russian investigations of the spiritualistic phenomena, comprise and “Appeal to Mediums,” in the French language ; a letter in Russian from Counselor Aksakoff to Madame Blavatsky ; and a joint card by that lady and Col. Olcott to American mediums, stating the terms upon which names will be forwarded to the St. Petersburg Scientific Commission. The letter was handed to the Russian Consul-General, for official comparison, but, owing to his absence from his office, it has not yet been forwarded. We will, therefore, postpone publication of the papers until next week.

The light being turned on, Mrs. Compton, in her black dress, as before, was led by me into the cabinet and seated in the chair, and secured with paper bracelets, and sealing wax stamped so as to render it impossible for her to move without being detected. We then took our places in the circle. I must not forget to mention that I had in my side coat pocket, neatly put up in paper, a small, pretty bouquet of fresh flowers, which I had bought during the day from a gardener, and which I intended to present that evening to the spirit Katie, if she would take it.

We had not been long waiting before the latch went up and the cabinet door opened, and beautiful “Katie” appeared before us adorned in white and blue simplicity, as usual; she advanced toward me, and waving with her hand ''she indicated to me to enter the cabinet door white she was out. I arose from my seat, passed her, and went into the open cabinet door. I looked all around in the cabinet: I felt all around; the atmosphere seemed heavy—very heavy, indeed, it seemed to me, so thick was it, that I was feeling with my hands moving through flour, or very thick atmosphere.
