STRANGE Abrams. Notwithstanding 'the
school master is abroad, " and the light ofintell-
gence is said to be spreading throug the land,
vet ignorance is not eradicated, nor superstition
abolished. Persons are now found as ready TO
believe in miracles, witchcrait, iOreknowledge,
and the like, as those who lived in the most I'M
enljg htened period of the world An instance
of this kind recently occurred at Wreatham,
Massachusetts,, where servant girl sue
cocded IN making a physician with whom
she lived believe that she possessed supel-
natural powers. Ga being questioned about
Che imposition, he declared "that the girl Ma
rY Jane) was possessed Of supernatural powers;
that sho foTetod many things which had come
TO pass precisely as she predicted; that his little
child died at the trmo she had previously de-
Glazed that it would. He said his wife was a
doomed woman; that her time was out nearly
a month ago, and that Mary Jane had been
contendlng wit1the invisible spirits to save her
life; that there were four thousand Of these spi-
its then in the room, and that Mary Jane was
pinchcd her, strangied her, and dislocated her
bones. She appeared in great many chaTac-
ters-representng departed spirits, some Of per-
sons that had been dead thousands of years
Her most prominet character was Capt. Good
hue, kiog Of the fairies, in which she was very
violent, using much proiane and indecent lam
guage, and showing fight in vigorous style, to
the terror Of those within her reach. The doc
tor declared, in the most solemn manner, his
full belief in the reality Of all her pretensions
had 40 doubt other holding communion with
spirits, and of her power to lorotell events with
certainty"
1t appears that the girl, in her struggles with
capt Goodh4e, the king Of the fairies, always
required plentiful supply Of brandy, as she
alleged that the Devil took it from her stomach.
What her design was in pfactlcing her decep-
tons upon tho doctor, we are not informed; but
when she was sentenced by the court to the
house ofcorrection for sixty days, 'lor Iewduoss
indecency, profanity, and for disturbing the
peace. she exclaimed, sis that ain well, think
| can stand it,"
The doctor is said to he man Of intelh
gencc, Notwithstanding his bcIierin Mary James
supernatural powers But ne must have "a soft
place in his head"

AMERICAN CONSULAR SYSTEM Some very
iudcous reflections on the imperiections Of this
syStem, are contained in the entertaining vo-
lumo, entitled, "Etchings ola Whaling Cruise, -
by J. Ross Browne; which volume we heartily
commend TO our readers. The author gives
various instances Of the utter uSGlessness ocour
pr sent consular system, so far as regards the
protection of American seamen against cruelty
and iniustice-and he shows the reason why
complaints of such ill-trcatment are disregard
ed by our consulS. He says:
'Hn most OF the foreign ports, where consuls
arc stationed, the commanders Of whaling YES
sells, when they put in for refreshments, or for
the purpose of rehtting, are obliged to expend
considerable sums If money, exclusive Of the
fee for depositing their papers, in the purchase
of various stores necessary for another cruise
A. tho fees alone would not be any object the
co2suIs are obliged TO depend upon Their own
pr;ga,s business. They keep on hand all arti-
cIas rcauired by vessels touching at the port
