MENTS IN AMERICA, His Boyhood and Apprenticeship. [Correspondence of the Springfield Republican.} Norwicu, Cr , Nov. 10, 1858. Your interesting article on Hume, the great Yankee spiritual medium of European celeb- ity, induees me to sapply some particulars of his introduction to the new science, religion, or art, as different people may choose to call it. He was an apprentice to Mr. Edward Worth- ington, merebant tailor, of this city, during the years of 49 and "50. He was about eighteen Years of age, s rather tall, unsophisticated Seotish boy, with bat little lea kind disposition, saburn hair end blue eyes, whose liar appearance—which will be recollected y those who knew him well—revealed his wonderful power as a medium. It was during the years above referred to that quite an excitement prevailed in our city in tegard to the newly discovered science of Pey- ebology. Franklin Hall wasnightly crowed for 4 long time with audiences composed mostly of those who follow mostly in the wake ef all the new tsms of the day, and it was at one of these i the professor of the mysterious sci eace, while “looking up” subjects among his auditory, first came across Hume. His effem- inate manner and the peculiarity of his eye at- tracted the attention of the lecturer, and he was requested to step forward and be psychol- ogized. Hume at first hesitated, but finally consented, and from the success which fui- lowed, his future course, as one of the most wonderful mediums of the age, commenced. The modus operands of putting a person into the psychological state was novel, and, us it appeared to the spectator, extremely ridicu- lous. The subject was made to hold in bis right band a silver coin, set in a composition cf _— aand zinc, upon which he was to keep is eyes fastened f-r about twenty minutes. The operator then steps up, grasps the thuinb of one hand, and tooks him sharply in the eyes —he squeezes the wrist, elbow and shoulder alternately—suddenly passes his hand over on tbe small of the back; tickles upward; grips the neck very hard; places his thumb firm ly over the nose; looks fiercely in the eyes again; rabs the temples; squeezes the forehead; press- ing the thumbs between the eyes at intervals; makes swift motions with his hands before the face; closes the eye-'ids, and rubs them softly with his thumbs, and in afew moments the subject is in a psychological or mesmerie state, and at the will of the operator. Through this ordeal | ume passed, and proved to be what was thencalled a “natural su yject,”’ and an uncommon one. After this he attended the meetings regularly, as long as they were continued, and entertained and astonished those present with his unaccountable feats while in the mesmeric state. The professor above alluded to was W. D. Franklin, the present leader and the principal singer of the Continental Vocalists, and to him may be ascribed the honer, if Auxor it is, of first discovering the supernatural gifts of this young man, which has made him the bosom triend of kings and princes. During the winter of 1350 the writer was present at an evenin; rty at a private house in this city, to which Hume was invited to be Present, that several of the company migat gratify a wish which they had expressed of witnessing some of his performances while in the psychological state. After he had become insensible, as it appeared, to al idly mat- ters, a thick, heavy handkerchief was tied over his eyes, so that it was impossible for him to bave discovered = even had he been wide awake. Several kinds of wine were brought forward, and as the operator tasted each, Hume at the same time, by the motion of his lips, imam to ke drinking, and gave the name of each wine with accuracy. A mouthful of vinegar, in the mouth of the tor, nearly strangled Hame. Several varieties of eatables were then tasted with the same results. Among the other experiments tried, the operator wrote on a piece of paper that he would send Hume to California. Immediately he fell upon bis knees, and commenced digging with both bands as if life and death were atizsue. One Pocket after another was filled with the pre- cious dust, and his handkerchiof was filled, tied carefally and stowed away in bie bosom a2 secretly as possible. At the will of the ope- rator, he was sent hunting in the same room— shot birds on the wing, and rabbits on the run, and stowed them away in the imaginary game- bag under hig arm. He also went fishing in a manner which would have caused that old lady mo uneasiness who sent her son fishing and made him promise be would not go near the water, for fear that he might be drowned. Bat it will be useless here to describe all the Performances witnessed that evening; suffi- cient is it to say, that Signor Blitz or Professor Anderson, the wizzard, never entertained an audience with feats of magic and necromancy more to their wonder and astonishment. We little thought then that it would be but a few years before Hume would be making the crowned heads of the old world trembie, by bringing visions of the past before them, even as Banquo’s ghost made his murderer shake in his boots.

Having seen » portion of the east and the north of Europe, aod ber publications having proved profitable, she determined to make a more extended jour- bey, and vocordingly left Vienna in 1846 for Rio Janeiro, traveled through the Brazils, went rouad Cape Horn to Chili, examined that country minutely, visited Otaheite, went thence te China, calling at Japan en route, and haviog made extended tours in Central Asia, India, and the islands of the Indian Ar- chipelago, she returned to Austria, after two ears’ absence. After a rest of three years in yienna, occupiedin writisg ase publishing ac- count oi ber 5 American, Japanese, Obine and Indian adventures—oue of the most interest- ing books extant—she set out sgain, having se- lected Africa as the object of her researches. From the Cape of Good Hope, where she lauded im the fall of 1851, she penetrated the Hotten- tut country, and dwelt there fur months among the savages; thence returned to the Cape and set sai for Singapore, and visited Borneo, dwelt fora time among the feroei us Dyaks, explored ‘2 and Sumatra, and sojourned with the canibals, from wiose Voracity she only escaped, as she suid, in consequence of her leanness snd ugliness.

She then made an extended tour in the United States, which terminated at New York in No- vember, 1854. The narrative of this journ-y was ablisbed in London and is well worth .
