In our recent notices of M. Robert Hondin, the French conjurer.—a man before whom ali minor sleight-uf-hand stare hide their dimin- ished heads and _ their ineffeetval fires,— we related how be had received his first in- struction in the art from a practitioner, who really was the Count de Grisy, but whose trav- eling title was Signor Torrini. This man, on Houdin’s showing, had passed through a variety of sdventures, wonderful as any related by Eagene Sue or Alexandre Dumas One of these adventures is related in Hon- din’s Autobiography, yet unpublished in this country, and we here take the liberty of throw- ing it into our owe iess attractive words, in order to condonse it within reasonable news- paper bounds. + While in Rome, an invitation reached Tor- Tini to exhibit before ue less # personage than the Supreme Pontif. The occupaat of the chair of St. Peter s: vhat time was that very estimable old gentis:uan, Pope Pius the Sev- euth. It was uot to bs thought of, by any con- jurer with a proper pride in his art, that only the ordinary tricks should be exhibited before His Holiness. Something new was to be hit upon—sowething whieh would astonish, be long borne in memory, and talked of, as wholly wonderful and inexphieable. Without searching for such a thing, Chance, that inventor of all mventions the nwst ingeni- ous, came to aid him. The very evening be- fore Torrini was to -how off before the Pope and conclave, and other high dignitaries of the Charch. he happene? to be in the shop of one of the first watchmukers of Rome. A servant came in to inquire whether the watch of his Excellency the Cardinal de — was mended. ‘The watchmaker replied that the repairs would not be pleted until the evening, when he should himself bring it to the Cardinal, and the servant withdrew. Taking the watch from a drawer, the wateh- maker proceeded to ¢. ine it, “Itisahand sme and exelent teh. aid the trades- man to the conjurer, « nd the Cardinal values it at more than ten thousand franes, because, hav g ordered it bimself from the illustrious t, he fancies it unique of its kind. Yet, an odd thing! Two days ago a mad Joung fellow of this town of ours came to offer me. for a thousand franes, a watch by the same maker, exactly like the Cardinal's.” This at- tracted Torrini’s attention. He examined the wateh. which was a handsome one, with soy- eral distinguishiag peculiariiies. An idea struck Lim. ‘Do you think,’ he asked the watehmaker, “ that this person real- ly wishes to part with this watch?” There was Bo doubt. was nd thrift, wh away with his prop- n to-selling even his sand Trancs would be said Torr find this erson f to make his wateh mine: at T must have it at once. Buy it for me: then engrave the Cardinal's arms on mine, so that the two may not be distinguished one from the other. On your discretion depends the benefit will draw from the transaction.”” The owner of the watch was ex: ily found, at the gaming-house which he constantly fre- quented. The watch was seen. examined, closely compared with the Cardinal accepta aud pur- chased. It was duly engraved. d vat home, duly paid for, and as duly placed in Torrini’s ready for the trick of tricks which was his Night at the Vatieun Pope Pius TIL. was an enlightened man, turned a deaf ear to all hints that Torrini’s fi fr ron a daes, placed Neur him were placed the (them were the different prelates nad digi of the church. As far as that night's feats went, the Pope sat simply hike a wondering layman, astonished at the skill of the conjurer. The evening passed off reeably, for Torrini never performed better, he never had » more wonder-stricken au- Cardinals, and behi * Then,” (as Torrini “toend itand by way » the famous trick which I had contrived for the vecasion. liere, however, I had to en- cvunter many difficulties. The greatest of these, withoul question, was to lure the Car- linel De — to give me his watch, and that Without directly asking fur it. To gain my poist. I had recourse ty stratagem. On ask- ing for a watch many had been handed to me; bat I had given them back. on the pretext. more or less true. that, offering as they did no peculiarity im shape, it would & difficult after- identify the one chosen by me. “If, ieurs, any one among you,” said I, “has r large watch (the Cardinal's had pre- cisely this peculiarity) aud would entrust it to me, 1 should aceept it willingly 2s the one fit- test for our experiment.” The Cardinal piqued himself on the size of his wateb. having an idea that the works acted more freely in a large ease. He hesitated to lend it to Torrini, but did so, at the special re- uesi of the Po adding many cautions to andle it with the utmosteare. Torrini ex- amined and admired the watch, and asked nu- merous questions aboat it by way of boniment— a word used by conjurers to denots the prelim- inary talk which is to pass the time an put an nee off its guard by prec ying its at- tention. Torrint praised the Cardinal's watch ies. expatiating on its numerous good ~“See!"’ said he “‘a first proof of ; And with this he lifted ap the wateh as bizh as bis face. and let it fali on the par- self told the story,) uet, [ went on quet. There was a ery of fright on every side. he Cardinal, pale and trembling, got up. “Sir.” said be, with ill-restrained ange “what you have done is an ex-remely joke!" Torrini assured him that this was only done to prove the perfection of the watch, which would come back to him uninjured by the trials to whieb it would be sub:ected. The beautiful Breguet, which tae Cardinal believed to be unique, was destined for severer ill usage. Torrini, not content with dashing it mped upon the case, crashed it into + insas of wheels, springs, and brokeh bard. This be handed around, that all might be sure it was the Cardinal's watch of watches. All this time the Cardinal's rage was at fever heat. f!ehad no small cause for anger. His watch. about (he identity of which there could be vo doubt. for he recognized his graved inside the case.was utterly ruined; and, almost in tears, he declared that it had been unique, and never could be replaced. Torrini's next move was to get the wateh— the real Simon Pure, for it was his own which was destroyed—into the Pope's peeket. As long a bis Holiness remained seated this could net be done. Anexpedient bad to be found for getting him out of hix chair. Torrini was wo lucky as tu find one. He asked for a brass nd wortar, and one was broaght from the Kitchen, where it was an implement of the on r. Placing it upon the table, he cast he wrecks of the famous Breguet, and begaa to pouns them vivlently with the enor- wus pestle. A slight detonation was sudden- ly heard s reddish flame arese from she bottom of the vessel, which gave the scene the sppearsnce of real magie. Torrini, still pound- in, the mortar, w great fury, leant over it, and pretending to look in, wade exelams- tivns of to himself at the gurprising things he pretended there to see. eo Specta- tors, consisting of Cardinals and their attend- ants, were dying to know what he was wonder. iug at. but. out of respect to the Pope ventared to rixe At last, excite! by curiosity, the Pope approsche : followed by some others uf the « orrini was sill gaway, and still exclsiming I do now to what [ am te attribute the bewil- derment I feel,’ said his Holiness, + bat really I cannot see anything!” Neither coald that postor, Torrini. He, however. was too to own it, and begged the Pope w und the table, next to bimself—as the for seeing. This was done, and the Vs watch was quietly slipped into the Pontifies! pocket, unknewn to every person This quietly done, Torrini declared that it Was Gwe to melt the fragments of the broken pe t. A crucible and fire speedily effected this. The ingot was handed round among and examined by all the company. ‘Now,’ said Torrini, “I am going to restore this ingot to ite primitive form; tbat is, to reproduce it in the shape of the Cardinal's chronometer. This transformation shall take place while the ingot is in the act of passing from this into the pocket of the person in this company the least to be suspected of confederacy.” an eye turned upon the Pope. ‘Ah! ab!”’ said His Holiness, in a joeular tgne, “this gets stronger and stronger. What would you & Mr. Sorcerer, if I were todemund that it should be my pocket?”” Torrini bowed, and answered, “ Your Holiness has only to order, to have your wish obeyed.” ‘The Dupe, still smiling, said “ Let it be su!” Tho ingot was agsin shown aud banded round eturning to Torrini, he quietly con- cealed it—so small an article was speedily made to disappear. All were eager for the next move. “ Pass!” exelaimed Torrini. He had finished his work. The Pope put his hand into bis ket, and thence drew out —the Cardinal’s mous Breguet, safe, sound, and unseratehed. Of course, Torrini was greatly eulogized. He retired, covered with laurels, and on the follow- ing day had the honor of receiving a diamond swuff-oox, with ® complimentary wessage from His Heiiness. ‘Thus endeth the relation of what took place in the Eternal City, between Conjurer, Cardi- nal,aad Pope. As we have already montioned, it is narrated in the Autobiography of Robert Houdin, whd deseribeth himself as Aubassador, Author, and Conjarer. ee Harpy Terwinatios op ABAD Arratr.—A Mr. Rodgers, of Ripley County, Indiana, with his daughter Elizabeth, of about 17 years, aud her illegitimate child of three or four months, appeared ia Olney last week, and applied to Haye ard & Kitehell, attorneys. to procure the arrest ofa young Mr. Lane, the abseonding father of the child, who was said to be in the county. The writ wax made out and handed to Deputy Sheriff Johns, who turned to her and said, “How does he look’? She turned her face—a tear fell on the tloor—“Like this—this babe—-a dimple on his chin,”’ said she, a3 she [sears its little white bonnet back; then, with er free still averted. drew from her bosom a daguerrotype. “You will know him by thi She was dressed lady-like, with a sweet, sor- rowfu'l half matronly look, with eyebrows darker than her huir, and 2 pretty foot that set off the kid. Her father, vere looking old man, said te the attorneys: “This shall not be settled short of two thousand dollars.”’ She turnec her eyes upon him with a look of hor- ror. -Not money,”’ she cried, as she drew Ler babe closer to her. The next day Lane was brought in. It seems that the parents of both were farmers, livi neighbors—the children growing up and being sebool-mates Sigether teat Lane's father Lad iven him $1.600 not to marry her. He iss : Be looking young man of about 24 years. He went round to find an attorney, bat all being out of town, except Hayward & Kitchell, he concleded to go to the hotel and see Miss Rogers. The door was open. She sunt at the back part of the room—at the sight of him she eame to ber feet with her child in her arms— he fal cred—she stood still, ple as this paper— he blundered into a chair, rad she unconscious- ly regumed her seat—neither speaking. People left tbe room. Iv a few moments he appeared, and inqnired of tae officer where to get a mar- riage acense. ‘The oflicer, whose very soul was glad to hear of such a bint. went with him.

He with 2 resolute, manly look—that would be invinvible in the right— but, tike all true hearts, would stagger in the wrong. They all had what the attorneys most admired —plenty of moaey.—Olney (Ii!) payer. se Bavssers Lack.—some idea may be formed of what a sumptuous article of dress is this lace, from the following paragraph ina letter tu the Boston Journal : The peculiarity of this lace, in addition to its fineness, which distinguishes it, is that many of the choicest patterns are worked sepu- rately, with the most microscopic minuteness, and are sewed on. The flax employed iu the manufacture grows neara place culled Ilal; the very best however, comes from Rebecque, snd custs from $60 to $30 per pound. We were told that much depends upon the tenuity of the fibre. We were offered a yard of the most ex- pensive quality of the lace for the modest sum of forty deliecs, tat a very good quality could have been purchased for twelves dollars. We saw some even as low as three dullars. Hand- sume sets, embracing ladies collar and sleeves of point lace are suld from twelve dollars up- wards. Beautiful Applique setts are sold as low as six dollars ‘he prices perfectly astonished our ladies, who had ao often been sold by the American venders. The persons who spin the thread for lace and also fur French cambrics, are obliged to work in confined, dark rooms, into which light is only admitted partially by a small aperture, and by being thus compelled to pay more constant attention to work. they discipline the eye and attain the faculty of spinning the flax of that web-like fineness which constitutes the excellence of these two fabrics. We are told that the girls employed in these establishments can only earn from 20 to dv cents per day on an average. ID” The directors of Girard College, Philadel- bia, have received information that Lawrence ‘od, 3 citizen of Maconpin county, Il, who died some two weeks since, bas devised his estate to the Institution. It appears that Mr. Tod was of Danish parentage. and came to this country at an early age, and adopted the seaas his profession. As the captain of a packet running between Phil- adelphia and New York, he became well ac- qusloted with tue character and history of Stephen Girard. and seems to have carried to the West, Where he went soon after, a most exalted idea of the disposition which Girard made of his estate. With this feeling he has devised to the college Lis estate, whieh will amount to about $30,000.
