10 THE CHICAGO PDAILY TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, OCTCBER 4, 1874 o a hum: HUMAN FOLLY. The Experiences of Smith and Jones, Mediums, e u The Fashion in VWhich They Carry 0a Operations, tow They Became the General Confidants of Chicago Society. The Wife Seeking Information About Her Husband's i Death. Hew the Gld Gentleman From Elmira Refused to Be Convinced. Parinership Offers From Board of Trade Men, etc. A Discouraged United States Sen- ator. Mankind has risen startled at an announco- ment which it bears with balf hope and dread. Thero have been mysterious sounds around tho narrow domain of this life, and those who kave heard them declare them to be * footfalls on l-hb confines of another world.” A great majority of men and women have' heard the challenge of the sentinels of Ecience without, but have suppoeed that the zlarm was false. Dut man others maintain that the sounds were not uncer- wain, and that the visitors are unsub- stantisl reslities. The present srticle is not written with auy design of confirm- ing tho theories of Spirituclism, etill Jess of diserediting them by exposure. The incidents of the narrative merely illustrate the readiness with which even the most intelligent inds will accept a belief in what is not ouly ut- terly unsupported by evidence, but ubsolutely at variance with all known natural lawe a8 meas- ured by their experience. It is & very serious subject, whether life termi nates promptly with tho cesaation of conscious- ness, or whether it is a firm and enduring reality of ever-incrensing faculties and responsibilitics. Dut, like everything else, it has A COMICAL SIDE. Tom Hood coined his woes into witticiems, and the vexations of his daily life into verses of mixed pith and pathos. And out of the specu- Ietions of Spiritualism two young gentlemen of Chicago hsvo been amusing themegelves in an innocent way by playing upon the credulity of these fellows. Their names are not Jones and Smith, snd for this very excellent reason we ehall speak of them as Jones and Bmith in the conrse of this highly authentic narrative. They ere both young men occupying eanviable poai- tione both in business and in kociets ; men of meane, liberality, and education ; and, os will be seen from the story, rarely insellizent and rich in bumor. Iudeed, but for a tact only too rare and a delicacy which only gentlemen could ex- hibit, they might have placed themselvesina very awkward predicament. THEIR STCCESS A8 **EDIUMS " s beea spoken of before in the:: columus, but subkequent events bave added to their esperi- ences 2 rich and racy collection of anecdotes. Jopes is the more accomplished medinm, Smith isin the chrysalis seate of developmen:. Joues can sce and converse with the imiportals ; South_merely bears an uninieiligible whicper- ing. Jonescan lock down the perspective of the futvre, and measure the past. In tho lau~ guega of the advertisement, be can tell tho past, | present, and fature, give desred informazion in atters of love or lucre, couvey messazes to and rom deceased friends and relatives, and—great- est and most couvenient faculty of all— REMAIN PERFECTLY UNCONSCIOUS during tle continuance of the clairvovaut state. his last was an essential. However readya man would be to pour out his whole soul to some other feilow, and tell of his loves and his Sarub Jane, be would not be euch a jackaxs as to do it while the otber fellow was in a condition to re- memter all aboutit. He would be idiot enongh to accept the medium's unquestioned word tpon the mattor, and proceed to lay bare his hoart without reserve. It was only by an assumption of the innate zullibility of humau nstura that Jones and Smith could bavo had tho audaerty to proceed. T'Lo eveot proved that they had not underesti- mated the average mtelligenco of mankind when #ubdued by that curiosity to know the unknow- tblo which 18 found in every buman being. Thov aided the cause of truth, too, for, after bewildering their vietlm, nrging’ Lis credulity as far a3 they tuought manly or desirable, they thowed him what a dupe he was, and how simply bis genses bad been deceived. They never even made him order a bottlo of wine in payment for bLis lesgon, and invariably eoothed his mortifics- uon by teiling him thot others had been duped e well as he, and that they would epable him to deceive others just as he had been deceived. T'his they invariably did. end thus amply repaid their victim for auy little breach of confidence ibey hed inflicted upon Lim. The perfection with wlneh they practiced was il very fair escuse which their dupes assigned. Ly but one eiugle peiron were they detected, 10d that erson wae not the writer. LTSINESS MIN, went on a large baul, notably grain-gamblers and corner-mannfacturars, assiduously enltrvate Mr. Jones. Ono of them offered £5,000 to be made & medium; ancther made & still more renerous offer—to pay JIr. Jones the sum of 50,0001f he would conduct his business through Spiritualistic means for the rest of the veur, while offers of §500 for certziu questions wero wuda frecly by gentlemen who aro regarded 1 tie commupity 28 hard-headed, eolid. straight- forward busuiess men.

It 15 useless to say that Messrs. Jones & Smitl, clairvoyants, declined these pecuniary in- ducements, and in but one csee did thoy ‘give sny advice on business matters. Fortunately it resulied succesefully. and only by a frauk avos- &1 of their imposturs could they prevail upon tho fortunate speculator to moderate his grati- tude, 2nd forbear the pressure he exerted to force their acceptance of « handsomo reward. COEIR METEOD OF COMMUNICATING WITI SIIRITS aas tiree-fold—the folded peper ou which g juestion had been written; the messages ou slates, occult ipecription by unscen hands of ong and importaut messages on the slate, and 2y the dark eeance.” Tho two latter were phyei- manifestaiions ; the former mental. The manner in which Mr. Jones sequired THE FOLDED-PAPER TRICK aas been described before, It is the simplest tnek of all, but the most convinciug to tho cesusl dupe.

For Lis own ends the medium has paver of tho same size and guaality folded 10 a cross and laid away for use. When' the question is wntien, the ques- tiover s desired to fold 1t twice. The medinm takes it. places it against his head, goes into the most wiolent coutortions, and dexteronsly exchauges the paper containing tho quory with the folied blauk in his own possession, While spoarently lost inthe agonies of a tiance. snq Rrazing vacantly i3 um, spamodi Hencling Lis fta aod- teoth, and Sraoiid them for & replr, he is busily efigaged in spread. iog the paper out on Lis knee, learning the con. teute, and framing & reniy. The exchange of vapers is once more made, and the reply grady. aily and hesitetingly given, s thougir by a sen- tient being through a defective agency—swith such halting and nerve-shocking effect as g sonata played upon a broken pizac. Mr. jones isa young man of unusually clear- cut and strongly marked features, over which, either naturally or by brief practice, bé bas ob. tained control. His eyes start wildly from their sockets in the trance state, bis cheeke Lecome Lhollow and pale, ritigs form round his eves, and the lines of the mouth are paiufully drawn. The | tic happicst in his Lfe. effect of this mugging is very streng. Tho quorist turns away in repugnanco from such a spectacle, and is 2o oppressed with tho sense of Tudeousness that he yiclds his behef more readily than ever. Indzed, his musculir action is of tuo greatest assixtance to Mr. Jones, 1t was the good fortune of the wri present at iter to Lo of this description, given by tho nefarious pair when a fourth person was present. Smith ju- diciously turned the conversation upon the sub- ject of Spiritunlism, ard, aftor advauciog somo Very plausible tbeories of his own, delicately hinted that Jones was a medium, Jones affected vot to bear, but, on being pressed by the others 10 *‘make an eifort,” with a_perseveranco that would have stimulated Mra.
