'HFt MAGICIAN HIERMA NN-SOME OF Ills QUEER TRtICKs. A writer in Belgravia dlescribes Svisit to the "magician" Her naran, at his private residence ear London. and the tricks there !ayed fo.r the entertainment of le guests: Time dinner passed off handsome v: the viands were oi the best in he season ; the wine~ was of the :hoiest; conversation was brisk, f not brilliant: and irood humor hrew a radiance over the whole arty. It was. in feeat, a merry neting; and there was just the no!lber seated around lie table to :oen1tra1te the~ talk and prevent he prarty from breaking up) in to ouits. Herr Hermn:zn, who was cated at the head of the tale, hadl ~keptie piaeed at htis righ t handi. 'his collocation, which was sutp )osdi to be accidental at the t.ime, vas designed by the conjurer. [J had seen and noticed the in redulity of his guest, amnd was letermmned to make a convert of him, or at all events to showv oil his powers at his expense. The conversationi tuirned upom prestidigitateurs and their various eats legerdemain. h err Hlermant -who having passed miany years in A merica, and being no stranger to England, spoke English witl much flueney-said: 'I am wel aware that all yont savants have ar idea howv the best of our tricks ar< accopjlished." "I should thin I so," from Skeptie, "Buat I fane) I could puzzle even you." "OI indeed!" again from Skeptie. "Ah sir. and eyen you,"' turning tt Skeptic. "By all means try it.' "I shall, and after dinner I wil show you a few tricks. and w il defy anry one of you to have th< remotest notion how they arn dloe." Bravo!" from all thi company excepting Skeptic, wh< laughed and helped himself t< wine, and congratulated himsel on being so much eleverer that the conjurer. The tricks played by Hlermant are thus described: 'Presently Herr Hermann ring the bell. and tells the man-servant who answers it, to fetch som cards. Thbe man retired, and cam back with two packs of cards i seured cases and placed them oi he tahl. 'Tae ne of thea packs,' said our host, addressing himself to Skeptic; -open the cover, and see ifall tie cards are right.' -No )reparuat:on demamded Sk-p tie. "No I assure you. What I n..mI aboLt to Show you now. I Could di With any% cards." -Of' Course.' eIjaenlated Skoeptic, stieer- t ingly, and1 began to tear the cover s from the pack. Skeptie looked at t the cards, and we all looked at tle o Conuil-er.

Each V man took a card and put it. back. s Then we all had a shufile at the pacK, excepting Skeptic, who t thought he knew all about the trick,and the conjurer was brought li back in tie time. '-He took the cards in his hand. ;There are eight of you,' he aid 'Each one has drawn a ( ird and re- v placed it.: and the eigh t cards,il'you 3 have shuffled them, should be dis. b persed thro'ough the pack. No eye could see into his rom when the door was shut; even knoving tihe cards-were that possible-would n leave the seeming impossibility of V bringing the eigdht cards togfether ; you ill acknowledgc that. Behold what art can do!' He gave te d cards a sort of flourish, and placing s the pack on his left pamn, threw C fromf the top the eight cards which 0 we had drawn. lie then turned r to Skeptic, and with a good- t humored smile inquired whether s he had any idea how the trick was done. Our 'nil aduiirati' friend 1 laughed, and said nothing; bu i! shortly afterward he was heard to observe. Curious ain't it ?' This I trick raVe rise to a good deal of tik. and some disputation; but there were no two opinions aboute it; it was allowed by all to be thei most coiplete and inexplicable feat oN legerdemain ever witness ed.

After a great lapse of' time thu Czarowizt, himself died, and to Datiband's watchful eyes it Seemed that the intelligence of that prince's decease was received by his fair lodger nlith such suspi e:iuus interest and excitement that he taxed her with being in truth Lhe inhappy lady whom all the world thought to be dead and ba ried. If such were the case he de lared himself devoted to her ser vice, and prepared to sacritice his prospects in the colony in order to escort her to Russia. de Woolfenbuttel (fbr such had been her maiden name) narrated her pitiful story. She was indeed the personage he had imagined, and had made use of a fruad to es cape from the cruelties of her hus baWd. The blow that bad been given to her had almost caused her death, but she had recovered. By the help of Countess Klonigs. mark, motherof Marshal Saxe. she 1ained over the women of the bed chamber, so that it was given out that she was no more, and a fune rd was arranged accordingly.

Aside from its strange and unusual appearance, the unearthly yell it uttered on perceiving me, which reverberated and reverberated through the forest, was enough to shake the senses of the most dar ii.g adventurer. The animal was sone hundred yards distant from me, and appeared to be a huge black bear with mane aud head like a lion, but bad horns like ai elk upon it. Its tail was long and busli, with dark rings. Its eyes gleamned like a panther's, and its .:ize was that of an ordinary ox but somewhat longer. Just previous to making its appearance I had shot otf my gun at a squirrel, and felt little prepared to meet such a fero cious beast without any weapon of defenSe. I imm diately set about relxading my rifle, but had scarcely begun when it started toward me. I retreated in as good order as possible, and must say I did some (rood runninr-not looking back until I had reached an open spot, when I found the animal had dis appeared in the Laurel thicket. TLis is no story, Mr. Editor, got up to scare naughty children. I amli not the only one who has seen the monAter-several have seen it since I did; and as sheep an(i cal ves are lately missing, it is pre suied to be a carniverous brute. Many have fortified their homics to prevent a night attack from the mailln unster, the like of which wa.% never seen in these inoun tains before. Some think it has escaped from some raiblingf men agerie. while others superstitious 1y think it is sent to warn people ofsome great approaching danger. --Jonesbloro ( Teun.)

As the number of deputies for France is based on population lit is liable to vary. The present Assembly was elected on the rule of onie deputy to every 50,000 in habitants, plus one for every fraction exceeding 30.000 inhabit ants. Under the Empire one member wos chosen to represenlt :35,000O electors (not inhabitants.) and the legislative body consisted -of376 members.

TIC liabil! ty to dan ger and destruc ion on railroads isgreatlv lessened, and disasters aveited, through the use of elee trical signals. The engineer, as his locomotive dashes along the iron rail at a speed which outstrips the wind, can. at a glance at the signal by the road side, know the condition of the line for miles ahead,and whether other trains are likely to be encountered, or mis placed switches and open draw bridges invite him to death and destCctionI.

T his bill provides that if any person en gag'ved in thcmp;loy of a railroad company or other common carrier shall while so engaged wilifully or negligently break, destroy or injure any trunk or baggage intrusted to the custody or care of such comn pany or carrier. he shall be fined not less than twenty nor more han five hundred dollars. or con tined ini jail not less than one nor mnore than six months. or be both tneda and imprsOned. at the discre tion of the jury; while for any such injury to baggage, the railroad Icompany or carrier shall be liable in double damages to the owner. If a similar law should be passed in all the States, the result would be a great savmgn in the wear and tear of the temper as wvell as the baggage of the traveling commun ity but the trunk makers would suffer, and a large p)roportion of the railroad baggagemen would be de p)rived of their chiefest source of enjoymineut. GIGArTic.-Vecry gigantic is the O'NeoilIl!amily(from Ireland) which is now exh. iting in England. They are from Queen's county, near D)ublim. Thze mother of the family is 45 years of age, stands five feet two inches in height, measures round her arm twenty six inches, across her shoulders three fee t, round her waist five feet six inches and weighs .378 p)oundIs. IIer eldest son is 25yvears of age stands six feet two inches an eighis257 pounds. The eld andmeaure rond he rmt wen ty-seven inches, across her should ers one yard and a half round her waist eight feet. and has the enor mous weight of 540 pounds On account of' obesity, she is searcely able to walk, appears uneasy on her legs, and is sometimes comn pelled to lean up against the wall for support. The vaccination marks on her arms have increased with age and development of' adi pose tissue till they are as larg~e as ordinary saucers. This delicate creature is affectionately, though rather absurdly, called "Lily" b.y younger relatives. It is observed that though the mother shows signs of excessive alcoholic con sumption, there is no disease com plained of; and the subjects do not appear to sutler from any other affection than the inconvenience of' having to support so much fat. An old lady describes a genius as "a man what knows more'n he can' find out, and spills vittels on his clothes." - ubsnhimeih fm. Vhe Wr T
