S NEW YORK. ‘How the 'fMetz-opolitans Ob- served the Holidays. An Absurd Performance at-the . Bowery Theatre. The Advent of Modjeska at the Fifth Avenue Theatre. She Is Pronounced an Artistic and Fi- nancial Success. The Colored Baby-Show. From Our Own Correspondent. New Yomk, Dec. 2.—The boys who ot skates in their stockings do not think much ofa Christmas-Day with the thermometer at 41°. Such a temperature bere, while remarkable enousli to draw comment on all sides, is not without precedent. The venerable old - mentle- ‘men who, sick or well, never miss the morning consultation with the weather-teller, have come. totbe front with a metrovolitan Christmas whigh was cue degree warmer. From other sourccs, equally venerable aud reliable, come storics of blooming flower-gardens, second strawberry and other fruit crops, iu short, of a second summer in piace of the usual succession of scasons. These wonderful developments of nature, which prove to a Zimes editor the truth of the earth-approaching-the-sun theory, would at once be lowated in Jersey if there were buv a hint at a second crop of mosquitoes. THE CHURCH CELEBRATIONS among the Eviscopalians and Catholics were characteristically fine. Trinity led in floral decorations, as is commonly the case. As to the musical programmes, there were a score s0 excellent and so finely rendered as to call for praise but not comparison. It is a good deal of 2 cross to attend, or try to attend, auy of the leading churches on such snecial occasions, The overcrowding is not less disagrecable than dan- gerous. Trinity was in the same besiezed con- dition as that which I deseribed at Easter. Long [ before the hour for service the interior was thronged, and the outside crowds were in the charge of policemen, shose duty it was to see that the crushed. and corn-trodden mizht be properly cared for. Inand around the cheacel he display was extremely rich. *The altar held two large, bright-hued bouquets, and _agaiust cither side of the Astor reredos the dark green of two spreading scave plauts contrasted with the white of the carved marble. The entire ront “of the chancel was banked with potted lants in bloom, and at cither end was a’ huge mound of palins, eeraniums, scarlet passion- flowers, lilies, and other brilliant exotics. For the rest of the house, the walls, orzan-loft, and pulpit were festooned with garlands, while Christmas trees appeared here and there. The picture was completed by the fifty choristers in their black cassocks and white sur- Dlices, who sit just within the chan- cel mails—a Dblack foreground back of which rise the figured marble and the noble windows, admired oth for their art and story. Great is Trinity in property, pride, taste, and the number of her worshipers. THE ENJOYMENT OF THE DAT, the happy, merry, rollicking part, was nowhere experienced more fully than az the mission din- ners and festivals. The pen of a Dickens and the space of a volume would be required to do justice to the newsboys dining sumptuously— ‘they only have the chance three times a year at most—at their home in the Five Points. Chi- cago has gamins enough, in all conscience, but sthey never would be mistuken for those of the wetropolis. There is a certain something, a flavor of impudence, recklessness, nobody can tell just wiat, that makes these wandering youngsters a study and terror alike. The Count Joannes experienced it Monday night duringhis thoroughly tragic portrayal of Jiichard 111, on lic. boards of the old Bowery. . Even o con- suwmmate a character—Xickard, of course, is _micant—was excusable for striding about in grreat ‘wrath, tbrusting at a supposititious figure in the air, and daring sonie contemptible coward to come forth, when said contemptible coward had but the moment before, at a thrilling point, shouted out the popular “Tra-la-la, George,” and © $kip the gutter!™ Nor was this, unhap- pily, the onlyinstunce in which the “ Uncrushed ‘Tragediav,” as he billed himself, had to endurc the inimitable interruvtions of the pitiless pit. This was Christmas Eve, and after their huge delight at the Shakspearean cnactment, the graceless cubs were right ready for the gencrous diuner provided by a wealthy merchant: butnot more ready than a hund, of them werc, ten hours later, to hanz about the cellar areas of P S 1he newspaper oflices rather than indulge in o comfortable bed at the Home. Thex will stand the bitter cold of winter nights to iuin reputi- tion for_being tough, and the police find thewy 1nore difficuly than _tramps to deal s In general, the holiday was extrem certainly not less so thau Sunday.

W, ¢ SECOND-SIGHT.” LDostun Sunday Courier. The reading of « recently-published interview betreen a reporter of the Boston erald and Mr. Robert Heller has awakened in me some memories of 2 brief episode in my youth, when Iwas in a position to learn something of the mysteries of necromancy. In the interview re- ferred to, Mr. Heller,- with the adroitness which s an important part of a maei- cian’s capital, completely mystified the reporter ond the Herald's readers regarding his second-sight business. 1 have met with several articles of the same sort. It bos occurred tome that I mizht afford some entertainment by tellivg something of the way in which the trick has been done. 1t is very likely that Mr. Helier’s method may not exactly agree with my deseription, but from what I have read fu the papers I am fuclined to beliove it Is © the sume Ol gamesr T aule the reader when he again sees Mr. Heller perform the trick to observe the little” points which I am about to cnumcrate. In the first place there should be a heavy, aark-red damask curtain hung at the back of the stage. It is red because it 1sa hard color on the eyes, and after gazine on it for a while you caunot sec that it ‘has several small holes in it through which assistant No. 1looks carefully, seeing all that goes on. You will observe that when he brings the etool forward and carelessly sets it down, e always setsit in exactly th same spot. Tal ciaus dread opera-g arc used in the galleries, where the spectators ha ve the advantage of Leiug able to look dowen into some of the tricks) and sceif e hus not made asmall mark, with white chalk, on_the {loor, where the hollow legs of the stool will be placed. In the foot of the leg will be a string neatly coiled up, reaching to the top of the stool and secured there. You will observe that when Miss Heller takes her seat he will propose 10 cover her with a cloth, thus seemingly making the act more_aitlicult, but reafly waking it easier. When she has taken her place and is covered up, the assist- ant under the stage (there are always two assistants, and they are especially. commanded ts make no noise and not be seen, by any possi- ble chance), tien takesa wire * picker,” reaches up from underneath the stage, draws down the coiled string, and sttaches to it a fexible rubber tube, which Miss Heller (beiny covered by the cloth) draws up to the top of the leg as it passes under the stage and up behind 1his curtain. She Is thus placed in constant aud insteut communi- cation with assistant number one, who places bis eve to the small lole in the cur tain, and sees olainly all large objects,~such as cames, hats, umbrellas, bandkerchiefs, &loves, pocket-books, watclies, chalns, opera. ouldock, whose charac-. glasses, coins, and all the things usually hand- ed up from the audience. There are not any different things offered, that are larze, and per- formers soon get expert. 1hus far, ull is plain sailing. Now for the dates on_colns, and_all small articles, and still more difficult,- articles that are seldom met with. You will notice that on small articles he varies his question—for in- stanee: What is this? meaus.... -..ARing And thisY means.. Another Iting What do you call this} means.... .- ARy Can you tell what this iz* means, \.(.th Tell me! what is (his? means .. A Knite Careful now! What's this? means.. A Bracelet and so on. Remember, I do not quote these as the nbsolute form, but’ you will notice the cau- tion-siznal and the varied questiod As for dutes on coins: In the first place, 1800 is al- ways understood ; when it §s otherwise, there Is 4 cautionary sigual. The date is ascertained by assistant number one by the position in which the magician holds his hand. For the first five units lie raises bis arin with the palm of the Land to the front, holding the coin fn the hand that malkes the motion, and for the second tive units be turns the palin of the hand upwards. For a cipher hie nakes a little round flourish, or any other uot too eccentric motion: ail . this very rapidly. Now, tor the third part—the spelling ont of strange names, and the like. ‘There is a system of counting in unison with the assistants, which is made use of at this point. 1 wus never quite able to understaud this thor- oughly, and only kuow that it is very difficult, and takes a Jong time to master. It often fails, but a clever magician soon learns how to cover up failures as well as to baflle the attemots of any of his spectators to throw hin off his guard. To succeed be must be as sharp as the prover- bial steeh-trap and as quick as lightning, with more theek and impudence thau a dozen hotel clerks. Confederates among the spectators need not be cmployed in this trick. . You will notice also that after the perform- ance has goune on for awhile, the covering which has been put over Miss Heller will be re- moved. In the meanwhile the flexible rubber pipe hus been securely fixed, and anything whispered or spoicen through it cannot well be rd in the zudie When all is over it is very easy to pull the gum pipe down under the stage. The stool is tnen moved away and all is screne. The great ditliculty of thewhole scheme is the mental spelling-out part, which must be constantly practiced. In the interview Mr. Heller told more thun 1 should have thought prudent for ome in the pro- fession. 'The rubber pipe is left hang- ingigunder the stage, and comes into play agaiu in the trick of the magic punch-bowl. A silver punchebowl is brought to the stage and set on a slender stand (with a hollow e and is suddenly fuled with punch. And hery the way it is done: The bowl is eugraved in- side, and this serves to conceal a small valve. On this valve the magician presses. It opeus, and (connection heing made below with the rub- ber pipe in the table-leg) and tne punch, poured in the end of the pipe behind thescenes, bubbles upin the bowl. The valve is closed, and the bowl is carried amoug the spectators. Of course, no one canlook under it, and if he did he would be none the wiser. GOSSIP FROM OVER SEAS. 5 New York World. Baron Rothscild has just purchased, at the very handsome figzure of $500,000, the complete picture-zallery of adead collector of Amster- dem, whose heirs are luckier than those of the patient and eccentric collector, Van Huysanack. This amateur’s peculiar * wanity ” was engrav- ings. He began collecting under the Fi Empire; and at every finaucial crisis, every social revolution, he leaped together more rarities, till, as he said, be had as many rare engravings as would cover the Place de la Concorde, or as would take a man 2 year to examine one by oue. ITe died with his old hands resting on one of his favorite portfolios, filled with priceless works by Durer, Raimonai, Alde- grave, Titien, Rembrandt, Fracaccini, Tiepolo, and the like, and left a will—and such a will! No single collector or gatlery can ever take ad- vautage of his half-century’s toil. Begiuning g at o period twenty years hence, from time to time, and till the whole 103 portfolios are disposed of, the cou- tents of one wportfolio are to be secretly sold all over Europe, no two engraving in the saine ity within a year of each other, and all to be sold to dealers—uone to collectors. An ample annuit; been provided for the man who is o execute this odd behest, and provision is made for a succession of exceutors till the whole work has been accomplished. The sums received from the sales are to form a school fund in Flanders. Perhaps, after 211, tue old collector was not & misanthrope, for how much excitement and how many surprises he has prepared for the collectors of the twentieth century ! - ‘The Continental Societics P.

One dav_as Sin Chun was_slecping heavily in a thicket the Governor of the Province, who was ont on a hunting expedition, chanced to pass and ordered the grrass of the thicket to be fired in order to frighten from it whatever game it might hide. The dog tugged at_Sin Chun’s clothine, but could not arouse him ; then running to » stream hard by plunged into it, and returning to where his master’ lay rolled himself over and over, wetting the grass. This performance he repeated several times, till he had so saturated the ground that his master was safe from the flames; then exhausted and cruelly burned he laid down by his master’s side and died.

Some twenty-four years ago, in the days be- fore the demi-monde beeawe a power in the world of fashion—in those good 01d times when it was not considered scemly for a modest woman to make the dress, the manners, and the personal charms of her Anonymas and the Cora Pearls of the day the subject of her conversa- tion—there flourished in London a beautiful woman of the lorette species who was known by 1he name, real or assumed, of Laura Bell.
