A 'Wonderful Machine?So mot Id 11 f that Haiviitm Ought to Have. [.Harper's Weekly.J Notwithstanding all the prominent {figures around whom duster the political and religious excitement of tho day, London is large and various .enough to bestow a good deal of interest upon "Psycho." This individual has been introduced to tho public by the famous conjurer Mr. Masilvelyne, which a purson oi levity might take as explaining the masculine gender in which Psycho is .made to appear be hue the community. Maskclyne is the man who confronts the spiritualists .in the same way that X the soothsayers confronted Moses: all ? 7 ' that they do lie does, or even tops them. Hut with his automaton whistplayer "Psycho" lie has fairly staggered spirit ual and unspiritual alike, and the Loudon 7'iraes has felt compelled to describe the exhibition, and declare that all the pmysles ever put forth by Itobort Uoudiu and others have been eclipsed by this mysterious Jiguro. Those who have read ifidgar A. Poe's os ay on Alackr-el's chess, player, which a hundred years ago so engaged the attention ol scientific men, may imagine that they bave a clue that would lead ihein to the He- ,cret of "Psycho." Put the presence .of any human individual in this auto/ lnatnn, or near enougli to affect it mo.chatiieally, is quite out of the qaestion. No one over twelve inches high .could be possibly concealed about it, and even so diminutive a creature as that could not fail to he discovered amidst tlu; mechanism, whose inspection, while the nutoinatom is at work, is lreoly open to any one who chooses tto come on the stage?a privilege of . which spectators have no hesitation in availing themselves. Jt is the ver.diot of the public, ami so slated by the London 'J\mc8y that not onjy is the presence .of any human being in ihe machine impossible, but that it is also perfectly isolated. If is seated in the middle of the stage, amidst a ) number of uersons hovond mim/mirm * j - r? ;"* .of being confederates, who are permit,, ted to walk around it and examine ii at every paint, it in certain that no telegraphic wire connects the figure with anything; and to act aside the possibility of a connection of that kind .through the floor, the figure iu isolated by being set on a hollow ey- < Jinder of perfectly clear glass two feet high. This glass tube, open at both ends, is handed around to be handled i by the spectators, who may test its < transparency, its singleness; and after i the figure ts set on top of it?so raised i several leet above the floor?any one < VOL. 8. CONWA is allowed lo crouch beneath and observe, while the figure is preforming, that nothing, however fin all, passes from the floor to the figure. As to all the points mentioned there is complete certainty. And now as to the motions and performances of this little figure. The speel ators are invited to proposo numbers, which are called out from the audience. One man calls out twenty-one, another fiftythree. Mr. Maskelyue invites any one who thinks either may have been called out by a confederate to change them, Various amendments are, proposed, and finally the numbers proceed from well-known persons, as eighteen and forty-seven. Mr. Maskelyue, standing several yards from the figure, calls upon it to bring out those numbers, and they appear on a little glass befoie it; then lie calls on Psycho to multiply them together, and the eight hundred and forty-six, or whosoever result the announced multiples may require, invariably appears. Persons from the audicuce then draw cards from a pack held in Maskelyne's hand; Psycho is questioned about them, and tells what each card so retained in any part of the room is; and then finally comes the game of whist. The audience select three players, Psycho being the fourth. The deal is cut for. Psycho's cards are placed in thirteen receptacles around luiu, tho backs <>l tho cards being toward Mr. Maskciync. 1 have just had tho houot ot playing against him, and though our side won, i am bound to my that it was because l'sycbo had a miserable hand, and his partner not much beater. Winning, however, is not ot the slightest importance in considering the au touiaton. Psycho played with ported accuracy., and never tailed to show a proper judgment as to the probabilities implied by eacli cast ot a card on our table, which was lour or five yards lrom him. I examined the machinery in the little box on which Psycho sits, t>y aid of a little lamp, applied so as to cast light through and through the clock like wheels* I watched the glass cylinder, as the game proceeded, tar .luorcthan my own cards, to be certain that no wire shot up through it or down. W hen Psycho's turn came, the machine broke silence, and by apparently self originated motion the arm moved round until the band came just, above the right card; in: that card it descended, closed on it with forefinger and thumb, and raised it above bis bead so thai all might Hee it. It being certain tli.it sell originated motion and the combinations necessary to correct whistplaying must be tho result ot' human intelligence, and that intelligence being certainly not in or directly connected with the automaton, the only question that requires to be solved is, how is tho machine connected with its director, seated behind the curtain ? In thi? ease, one must dismiss the mere incidental marvels, such as the old triek ol naming the cards winch a Hpuclator lian drawn Irom a market ami manipulated pack. Also, there is no dilliculiy iu a player behind the scenes knowing the cauls he has to follow, since Mi. Maskelyne announces thorn as they are played; and even if this were stopped, he could wrap up the information iu his running tire ol jokes; nay he might -naturally plead that IVycho, like any other mau. re quired that much information. The idea, then, that Psycho in an automaton at all, except oil the lluxleynn hypothesis that man in a conscious automaton, must be dismissed. It would he easy, without question, to interfere with the performance for a time by turni ng the figure with its hack to the audience, and so turning the faces of the cards away from the stage curtain. But thereby that only would he rendered certain which is already certain?that the whist player is not automatic, the alternative being that suggested by Maskelyne, that the spirit of Katie King, in a highly immaterial condition, is at work in the glass cylinder. The problem is solely that already mentioned. What is ilie method ot connection between a sma llpuppet acting intelligently, isolated from the floor, and from all surroundings, so far as scores of '.he most careful observers can ascertain ? The i?n'/ /!<? hn? iiicrnakocl in I mystery since Psycho was recently removed from his ordinary environment and taken all the way to Sandriugham, where his woudertul performances wore conducted with uniform success in a drawing room for the amusement of the Prince and Princess of Wales and their guests. When I went to see Psycho the second time, :t was with a satisfactory assurance that I knew his secret. The great care which Maskclyue had taken to prove the complete isolation, so far as electrical force was concerned, of his automaton, by setting it on a high cylinder ol clear glass, seemed to show that he was assuming an ignorance in his auditory to which 1 felt myself an exception. Glass is a non conductor wnly m the same sense that air is, but neithef can obstruct the action of one magnet upon another. If I bring an ' idectro-niagiiet into the neighbor. -A.il lucle pei lY HOllO, S. 0., SA.TU hood of a ship's compass, 1 am not i prevented from defecting the needle | Irom its northward pointing by j the fact that the two needles are incased in glass, or that a yard or more ol atmosphere js between them. Clearly, then, it a powerful electromagnet were fixed in the floor beneath \ Psycho, and connected hy wiles an operator behind the scenes, it would command the movements ol a corresponding electro magnet in Psycho's machinery. JSo 1 took with me a small pocket-compass. So certain did I f? el that this must be the solution of the mystery that I even made carol ul arrangements to apply the test in such a way an nol to expose the com lire's secret. Having ascertained the exact, north point ot the room, so that 1 could judge ot any akeraiiou that might take place when the magnet was hi ought close to the machine, I managed to get my card into Maskelyne's hand, asking it he had any objection to my applying a small magnet to the figure while it was working, and promising that it should be done secretly, Ot course he would nut notice my card, or, it" he did, he would say there was no time, or be would be glad to see me after the performance, etc., all of \s liich would be confession. Put instead of that, the conjurer, without a moment's hesitation, proclaimed from the stage; "A gentleman pres.. cut wishes to know if 1 have any objection to Ins applying a magnet to Psycho while be is working. Not the least. The gentleman will please step to the stage." I did so, and, while the automaton was at work, applied the needle to every part ot It. The needle was uul agitated at all ? did not bend from its northward point in the least, no matter where I placed it. Psycho's triumph was emphasized by his master remarking, "I think this is the second lime this gentleman has 1.1-- . ?r * * iiiiin/A-ii in*.- periormaiices ot 1'sycho;" to which i bowed, and a cheer was given lor Psycho. Since .this incident the automation ha*; been visited by a number id scientific men, among them Mr. Spotliswoode and Professor Clifford. The latter ? 1 Votessor ot Applied Mathematics in University College?enjoys a special reputation for ability to discover conjurers* tricks, lie has found out hitherto every important trick by which Loudon jugglers have puzzled their spectators, and altough he holds it, a matter of honor to expose only those, which pretended to he the work of spirits, lie oil en repeats the tricks in drawing rooms for the amusement <> his friends. 1'releasor Clillbrd once announced to a company of his scientific friends thai he had lound that mediums moved tables by a certain <4?!ykiek,' but he now admits that he cannot discover the Psycho force. It is indeed, agreed on all hands that Maskelyue has brought before this community the most complete and ingenious ,1 i. t piUV'IU H 1H1 WillCM CApCTlS IIUVC ever had to deal. The very physical construction of Psycho is a work of consummate art. The richly tilrbailed head, shiny chocolate face, and prominent glass eyes present a remarkable semblance ui humanity, and there is even an expression ol grave and intense thought. Psycho shakes hands solemnly with each player when the game is ended, and the expression on the laces of the spectators is one ol complete mystification, It is quite idle for the spiii'nalists to proceed with their tricks while .London conjurers perform more extraordinary ones in clear light, submitting them to every conceivable test' I have only mentioned one among dozens that defy all efiorts at discovering their secret. I have occasionally attended the seances of eminent mediums lor tiear twenty years, hut all the "phenomena" J have sewn in that time put together have not. equaled in unaccountableness what may be any day seen past the Sphinxes ol Piccadilly lor a lew shil. lings. Incidentally the little turn I had at whist with Psycho on my first visit brought me a droll exprimiieo ol the habit of .the average Ktiglish mind. When I descended from the stage to resume my seat, having lor that purpose to pass fifty of sixty persons, every eye I met said plainly enough, though silently, "Don't think to cheat me; you are a confederate." Alter I was seated for a little amidst the cold atmosphere of suspicion, I resolved to try what effort a theory would have; ko I whispered to two of my neighbors, "May it not be possible that there is a wire, so tine as to bo invisible, ascending from Psycho's turban to the colling?" This suggestion was absurd (on my second visit I passed my band over the turban,) but it was the first that popped into my head, and it at once thawed t he freezing glances of suspicion. It flashed along the lines of seats, and long before it had reached the unreserved had become a dear alii rotation that I had observed a telegraph wire connected with Psycho, No doubt the version which circulated in tho gallery was that I bad detected a wire-worker with battery and mirror before liiin seated over the stage. The fact however, that in tho 1 + ~T~ "?~ idont .1 ournal. IID.VY, FEBLIUARY perfoimanoo wo hud witnessed, u confederate Could not Iulvo been of the slightest importance, that he could only have disclosed what cards he held, which it was of no importance to know until they were played -- and then Maskclyue proclaimed them?did not appear to strike a single person who spoko to me. They were sure there was a con federate. Th unanimity with which spectators <d such tricks try to explain everything by the "ootilederaud' theory, even when it is totally inapplicable by the very nature of the oiled, must often he ol great assistance to a juggler, in spiritrapping circles there is a similar convent iohalny, and many 111 the seance think that it they have only made sure that the medium has mo cohtcderute present; all other mailers 111 iv be regarded as bona lide.

A. Vankic?. Saving Mkat.? Mr. II. ?1. Corbell, Hit experienced tanner, writes recently to the Raleigh S< trlhwl an article concerning "saving his bacon." He Hays: "I would not advise tbe killing ol pork in warm weather, bnt as it, frequently turns Huddcnly warm alter it is killed, the question isr what is to by done to keep it Ironi spoiling. In clear, cold weather any one, no matter how careless, will have no trouble. It is only in warm, damp weather that n requiiH care and judgment.

This operation must be performe<l m the night, if in the day lime you will exj)ose it to ft warmer atmosphere than exists in the bulk, and will run a great risk of losing the whole of it. This has been a very common and fatal error. Let it remain in salt 10 days, break it up and wash it clean with warm water, and before it diies in >k * the "flesh side black with finely sidled black pepper to prevent the flies; (red pepper does no good.) llang it up in the smoke-house; give it lime to drip, say 2 or 3 days, and t.L? n smoke it with hickory wood.

Use brnvu sugar freely in the salt for funis and shoulders. To bid defiance to the flies, make a paste of cornfield peas, strain it thought a sitter and with a knife spread it smoothly over the flesh side; this should lie done after you have finished smocking it; then hang it up. For'10 years I have put up my bacon in this way and never lost, a joint. My great aim has always been to cure my bacon without having it too salty. A man that leaves the tails to his hams cannot euro good bacon; he has not the paiienec to go through with the trouble that is absolutely necessary. Women ami others. The Saturday Jlevieio, in the course of an eloquent article under the above caption, remarks that women are apt to imuttnur at their lot as one without influence, variety., stirring purpose or space for action; hut that it is, on the contrary, a lot full ol dignity and importance if properly regarded and fitly undertaken. If they do not load armies, they make the characters of ineu who load an<l are |yd. It they are not state ministers or parliamentary orators, they raise by their noblelions or degrade by their want of delieacy or refinement the souls and minds of men who are. If they are not in the throng and press of aotiyc life, they can cheor on to high aims or basely reward the baser methods ol s * 9 /" ? l V V ; ? J| 12, 1876. NO, 7 I II I I I ! II mm ! ! I II !_!

Teaching Children Courage* - Courage is a vital element ol Christian chivalry. Without it, indeed, j neither truth nor fidelity to promise can he honed for. The coward is sure to retrofct from his engagements when they involve peril. We need valiant souls that have learned to endure ai.d noorn pain, and to lace danger fear- ; kssly and promptly when duty re i quires. Some parents evade this vital part of training hy glosses and de- j ception. A mother who has taken her boy Lo the dentist's to grt a tooth out will oi.teu say, if ho is shrinking "Sit j still my hoy, it won't hurt you. Now ! j she knows it will hurt him, hut thinks if she can ouJy get him hy this device ' to sit still and let the dentist get hold of the tooth, then his discovery of the | ! pain will not hinder its extraction. This is a double mistake. It destroys her boy's confidence in 1 erj lor lie detects her in a lie. And, though it gets the boy to sit still, it is under the j delusion that there is to he no pain, whereas lie should be taught to lae.o ! the pain and to scorn it. Tins makes the dilleronce between the cowards and heroes. A regiment ol poltroons could inarch tip to a battery as cheer- i ully as a regiment ol heroes, il they j thought there was no enemy at tin? guns. The ditlerenoo is that heroes know the danger and yet lace it val iantly.
