Hut the very next illusion, called Le Boisson de ‘Tantale, required the constant presence of the coujurof on the stage, where he operated an ex- change of two liquors, filling two decanters placed at opposite extremities of the feotlights, hud although the ignorant spectators saw noth- ing at all unusual in the substitution of a cone of blue fire fur a bottle of brandy, Wyoming and Cameron knew. that thesmocking spirits were again taking a freakish revenge on the froward Magician who had dared to use their names Without asking their permission. In another hich appeared on the bills as Les Drap- x'de ' Univers, and which required the co jurer to produce inysteriously a bundle of the slags of ali nations, the spirits again gained the upper band and elanged the pretty silken em- into stiff cactus, the sharp branches of bristled with thorns. In desperation Monsieur Bu:zini crossed the line of the toot- lights, his lace white with apprehension, but a wlanee of rigid derunination sul gleaming from his eye; no sooner had he stepped out upon the rundown than the green cactus gave way to a In yet another illusion, the next to the last, entitied Un Duel aux Cartes, a card chosen’ by one of the audience was to be caught on the point of a sword when the spectator threw the pack in the air. ‘The preliminary flourishes of the trick performed junid the audience Were accomplished without letor hindrance, but when Monsieur Blitzint took up his position in. the center of the stage the naked sword in his right hand and 1 the spectator Lhrew the card toward him plade changed suddenly into arevolver aud was riddled by six bullets discharged magician involuntarily and as though in ne by th obedience toa will stronger than bis own. ty good; I wonder what Ke will ‘ameron, quoting the charming 0: the parrot and the expioded ship.

It was very simple in construction; it had three light stecl lexs, and it had a top of thick plate giass, They declared themselves quite satisfied. Monsieur Biitzini turned to the extinguisher, and as he stuod beside it Le was at lest eighteen inches less in height than it was. “Please examine this also,” he said, tapping it with his finger. “You will’ see that {t is very light, that it is made ot several thickness of | tough paper, and that there are no holes in It | turough which I may see.” Wyoming luted the cone up and held it against the light, and he saw no holes in it, | ‘Then he and Cameron serutinized the external Surface thoroughly.

Wyoming drew out his wate and. began counting tue seconds. Cameron stepped down from his chalr, crossed to the large table in the center of the ‘stage, selected a card from the k, glanced at Ii, showed it to the audience, returned it and replaced the pack as it was. ‘Then he walked back and mounted iis chair Wyoming had stood motionless, with eyes On the dial and his ears strained to catch the slighiest sound. Atiast he returned his watch to his pocket, saying, “Time's up! ‘Tuen he and Cameron, amid a dead silence in the hail, seized the extinguisher and lifted it slowly. "As it rose in the air they heard a sud- den murmur of astonishment among the audi- euce. In another second, as they. lowered the ght paper cone to the stage, they saw the cause | of this, The little table Whereon Monsieur | Bitzini had stood was empty. ‘The magician | w a sound; it Was as though he had melted into | air, Wyoming and Cameron examined the extin- guisher, but it was no heavier than it had beet, hor Was the little table In any way altered.

Monsieur Blitzini’s second periormance never took place. [THE END.] —— 200 The Miseries of a Timorous Man. LIFE MADE A BURDEN BY FEAR OF ACCIDENTS, From the New York Tribune, There are some people for whom the recent reduction in the elevated railroad fares has no interest. They would not ride on an elevated railroad if a ticket cost nothing, with a prize Package thrown in, They are the people in whom fear is abnormally developed, and who live in constant terror of being injured by ac- cident. The feeling seems to be constitutional, and no amount of experience will lessen its acuteness. It injects inisery Into every pleas- ure, There is no piace where a person with this feeling can go in safety. On the street there is constant danger of being run over or struck on the head witha falling brick, or of tumbling into holes. No matier what the height of a building, an elevator cannot be taken.

Everyone has seen the man who would not ride in an elevator it it was guaranteed to carry a million pounds, and who would cross the street to pass a building in course of erection. Dr. Bail, the French physician, tells of & man who recently came to him to see it something could not be done to conquer this fear of being hurt by accident. The patient was a young man and was engaged to be married to 2 girl in a distant village. When the marriage day ar- rived, he went to the depottotako the train for hi sweetheart’s home, but could not over- come his dread of riding on_ the cars, and the marriage had to be postponed, Dr. Ball considers this peculiar manifesta- nity, in which an imaginary ‘omies real aud ean no more be over come than any other kind of delusion. This con- dition is thought to Le due to nervous shocks given to children when young by sudden frights, not from the presence of any real danger, but from attempts by older people to frighten them. see The Good Old Times. From the Bridgeport Staudard. We often hear of the “good old days of yore.” Why deprive our children of the enjoyment of those old days? Why not passa law forbidding steamboats from plowing the waters; railroads from running on land; telegraphs from sending messages; telepho1.es trom being used; all fur- naces, steam heaters, &c.,to be taken out of houses and other buildings; all grates for burn- | ing coal to be taken out; all stoves to be melted for old iron; all water Works in cities to be left npty; the use of all gas and other illuminator ept dipped tallow candles, to be disused, an ally go back to the “good old times,’ say for five years, ‘Then, if at midnight ‘on a cold, stormy night, a ‘doctor 1s wanted, he must "be seut ior’ instead of telephon* ing for him. If one wished to send jnessuge to a distance, Instead of telegraphing he must write a letter and send it by stages to its distant place and walt patiently for days or Weeks for the answer. When one goes home on @ freezing nigitt he can sit by a wood fire, roust- ing oue side while freezing the other, and read- ing by the dim ight ot 2 tallow dip, instead of the blaze of @ gaslight or the more agreeable light of Kerosene. Ir he undertakes a journey, justead of getting into the curs und going where he wishes, the best he can do is to take a stage at four times the cost and ten times the discom- fort of the cars. Let these and othe: modern improvements be forbidden and the “good old ys" be brought back, how long would it be beiore an extra session of the legislature would be demanded to knock the “good old days” into splinters aud to restore the much better modern days which we now enjoy and for which we ought to be most devoutly thanktul, The Reproducing Mirror. Paris Correspcndeuce of the New York Times. 1 was informed the other day by a mem- ber of the Paris Academy ot Sciences that experiments which M.

No advertisements of any plays, dances, lot- terles, patent bitters with alcohol in them, im- proved corsets, or anything doubttul whatever, Were to be admitted. Nothing that was crim: inal, irreverent, or even alittle bit frisky was admitted to thé news columns. Above all the word “damn,” which the proprietor found was creeping into the press altogether too markedly, Was never to be printed. Naturally the pro: prietor couldn’t see everything that went into the paper, but the boys followed his orders very strictly. One day he had occasion, in an editorial whieh he himself wrote, to use uclassi- cal reference, which came out in the paper as follows: ‘he President may, in fact, feel that th sword of D—oeles 1s now banging over him. ‘This startled the proprietor a little, but he re- flected that the boys had only followed his or ders, and that itamight break them. all up to Hind ‘fault with them, aud so he said nothing about it. But a few weeks afterward he felt that the thing was really being carried too far when the text of a discourse which had been delivered by the village pastor, and which he had ordered published in his paper, was printed at the head Of the sermon in this Wise: “D—sel, I say unto thee, arise! ‘see A Chinese Banquet, From the New York Sun.
