There are no limits to the gullibilty of man
kind. Spirtuaism, detected and exploded a hun
bred times in America reappears in Europe, with
Ia vitality which it never had before, and leads
princes and potentates captives i'll its train. Mr..
Douglas Hume, "a great American medium, is now
the cock Of the walk i'll the spiritual and arstocra
tic circles of Europe. A correspondent of the New
Orleans Picayune tells most marvellous tales Of

showered down upon him. One enthusiastic Prin-
cess bestowed upon him three pearl shirt buttons
worth 5000, for an evenings exhibition.
Mr.. Hume, thus petted and lionZed is said to
have become caprcious in the choice of the time
and place of his exhibitions. lie declined an offer
from the Prince of Prussia, of five thousand flo
rims for single evenings entertainment; and re
fused proposition, when in England from the
Duke of Sutherland, of thousand dollars. for an
exhibition at Sutherland House. Mr.. Hume per
forms the most amazing prodigies. He tells one
man Of the death of friend hundreds of miles
distant and the earliest arrival from the residence
of the defunct confirms the supernatural announce
ment. He orders arm chairs to move about, and
watches 10 make noises, aud their crystals to break
without human intervention, and they obey his or
ders with alacrty and precision.
In the room of a Russian residence, full of in
credulous ladies and gentlemen, he makes an i'm.
