^ The Spiritualists have popped up at last, and are having their say about the murders. A woman stated to the Cardiff- police on Saturday that she had held a stance and summoned the spirit of Elizabeth Stride, which obligingly gave a description of her murderer. The spirit even furnished the name and address of the “monster.” At some stances at Primrose-hill the spirit of Mrs. Nicholls was induced to give an exhaustive description of the man by whom she was done to death. The inventory has been obviously compiled from the statements that have appeared in the newspapers. The Spiritualists, in common with everybody else who has not seen him, swear by a dark foreigner in a soft hat.Here is one effect of murder, the educat in of the masses, and a cheap and enterprising press. We learn that at a certain great public library in the East-end of London the demand for medical, surg ical, and anatomical books during the past fortnight has been quite unprecedented. The students of this literature have been chiefly young men and boys of seventeen and under.
