But the great-novelty in California, just now, , appears to be the .groat "Avitor," anew flying ma . chine. - The- J/ta dalifornian, a paper belonging to the- opposite party, seems to havo fostered the c "Avitor" invention, and the News Letter takes cor ' reependmg pains to ridicule it. Take the follow? ing for example :.'... -'? 5rEKtAJi8 Alh> THE ATXTOB. The propoeifron, purporting to emanate from the . Fenian Headquarters in New York, requesting the Aerial Navigation Company to "name theil own terms" for the use of the Avitor "Hermes," ?B re? jected with indignation. Their scheme of poising themselves above th a populous city of London, armed with a' suppl', of Nitroglycerine, is well known to the company, and they hereby assure the British Government and nation that they will be a party, to no such fiendish purpose, involving, as it does, death and destruction to thousands of inno - cent and helpless persons, and the overthrow of that government, which is at once the pride and boast of humanity, and the hope of Continental Europe. ATit-rn I A letter from tho Secretary of the Aerial Steam * Navigation Company to our friend, who furnished ns these papers, describes the Avitor Hermes UH being 80 feet long. 20 feet wide, supplied with wing?, and worked by a small steam engine at the tail end. The following jeux tTesprU will give a further insight into the working of the machine: ' AvrroE LTTEKATCRE-PBOPUILE NEWSPAPER TOPICS UT 1897.-Anxious to givo both sides of the great Avitor question,, wo take the following from "advance conies" of. $he daily papers of the 23d Februjrj?}80fc ?j ?'= ? a2?H i MEMORANDA-[FEOM THE "ALTA."] "The Speedwell Avitor which arrived at C P.

An Evening ivltn inc Jugglers. The New York Evening Posl gives tho followii g interesting account of the performance of tho Ja? panese Jugglers in that city : The Japanese Jugglers aro wonderful. The im? mense audience which overflowed every corner of thc Academy of Music last night, watched with in? tense in .?rest, for two hours and a half, a succes? sion of acrobatic and gymnastic feats, which defied the laws of gravitation and made every spectator catch his breath. At tue rise of tho curtain, the whole company were presented. A score of men, women and children, surrounded by curious paraphernalia, simultaneously knocked their foreheads against (he floor of the stage, by way. of expressing their abasement before tue tarong of American sover? eigns. Then came -a short oration, in soft and do wing Japaneso, delivered by the earnest master of ceremonies-no doubt a masterly effort, but not generally understood, it was intended to intro? duce tho performances of two " prodigios." These attie perseus, endowed with the names of Tuoyo liichi and Thoiaatzu, were even more extraordina? ry than the exc?dent Mr. CVuxurnles's Infant Phe? nomenon.. Their posturing and grouping proved ono thing conclusively-tnat they hadn't a oone in their bodies; at least no bone that was inconvenient to them. They placed their foot on their necks and walked about mo stage on thou? hands; they bent over backwards auu trotted aro una witn their neads between thea* ankles; thoy tied themselves together in the most incomprehensible way, and roned like a whool with wouderrul velocity; they did with tho hands what the feet should do, and with the feet what the hands were made for. In short, these little Japs were tho funniest of little chaps-with tho exception of one, still smaller, who came in later. Next came a series of gymnastic evolutions bf the chief of the company-Mr. Hamaikari Sada kiohi-and his son, a queer little lad of eight or nine years, known as Hamaikari Mikish!, other? wise *'A11 Bight." The nick-name is bestowed bo cause this sprightly hale creature has a habit ot' snouting out Lu his shrill treble "AU right," when? ever ne nappons to get into a peculiarly perilous position-and he got into about twenty sucn places before the evening ended. The father, lying upon a cushioned table, with his hoad to tnenuuiouce, elevated his feet and his son simultaneously, and after tossing the hale fellow about in tho most reckless manner, proceeded to elevate him by slow degress by the process of putting one small tub after another under him, until twcivo of those tubs had been pded np, witn tne boy perched like a inonkoy upon the uppermost. Tneu the pyramid began to revolve and tho ooy to cut capers, lt was an extraordinary feat of balancing. Tho boy shouted "Ali right," and grinned witn delight at his success in keeping his tooting on a precarious foundation. - After a while tho " tub? were'kicked away by tho older Hamaikari, and the failing boy was deftly caught upon the father's upturned feet. Top-Bpinning was tho Lnext thing in order. Every American boy who saw thc double perform? ances in iMs line'or business will pester the house? hold till he gets aa assortment of tops and goos through a series of exp antuen ts, for the "possibili? ties " of the art of top-spmning were never so re? vealed to tho gaze of an astonished pubhe. To Spin tops is ordinarily an amusement for children ; but Mr. Matzui Kikoojirn and his atinuy-facod lit tlo daughter Otauuee bring it up to the rank of nigh art. Tops tarown into the air with a jerk come down upon the point of a stick and spin away ; tops travel up an inclined plano, into lacquered pagoda, spin around inside, como out through an opposite door, still spinuiug, and run down another incline, spmniug away, and keep on spinning ; tops put ou a man's shoulder spin about his back, around his ueck, dowu his arms, and still spm ; tops thrown spinning up to the height of twenty feet, foll upon tho sharp edge of a sword-blade, aud spin back and forth upon that slender bridge, with as little danger of falling Or stopping os the Mohammedan saint passing into Paradise over a similar footway. Once or twice tho top failed to obey tho hand of tho master, whereupon the latter abased himself before tho people and rose from his knees to do still inoro wonderful things. The "Butterfly trick" was a piece of skillful legerdemain, with a touch of poetry in it. A ma? gician who answers to the cheerful name of Zu midangawa Matzungoro, standing behind a table, performs this trick by cutting from paper the image of a butterfly, and causing it to flutter about his head in the breeze created by a fan. A bouquet of flowers, held in one of the performer's hands, attracts the butterfly; presently other butterflies appear, and Soon a swarm hovers about the nose jay. This trick is simple, but very graceful and' eautifnl. Two women then-appeared. One was a juggler ; the other a musician. The latter seated herself on the floor, with a Japanese guitar-a queer instru? ment, compounded of a zither and a banjo-and m company with a dreadful drummer, wno beat a wooden beetle and struck some clashing brass, and another guitarist, who was very doleful, kept up a running accompaniment to the juggle going on at the neighboring table. The principal feat was the production from a japanned box of an incalculable quantity of silk ribbon, wnioh, when ignited, ex Eloded like a piece of fireworks and changed into a uge Japanese umbrella, gorgeously colored. Later in the evening came three of the most surprising teats of the programme-first, evolu? tions on an upright bamboo polo by "All Bight;" secondly, performances on a suspended bamboo, by Matzungoro; thirdly, tho "Enchanted Lad? der." The bamboo pole upon which tho lit tie Jap dis? played his powers was twenty feet long, and sup? ported only by the shoulder of his father. The boy.clambered to the top of the pole, seated him? self on a space of two inches, swung off by one foot, clung by a hand, tied himself into knots, and ! came untied instantly, cried his war-cry, and then ' varied it with a bit of slang picked up in Califor? nia-thus: "All right, you bet I"-whereat ad tho I Japs below yelled "Owl" as they did at intervals through the evening, at critical moments in tho play. Tue suspended bamboo feat was a Matzungoric performance which waa excelled only by tho ladder trick. This was a clear defiance of all natural laws, and it was watched with breathless interest. Tho chief, lying upon his back, supported with his feet a huge ladder,-to which a smaller ladder was attached ut a right angle, Up theso ladders scram? bled the little "All Bight," pausing occasionally to utter his cry or scream "Ow!" Gotting to tho top, hu stood erect and said "Ow!" and all the Japs be? low said "Ow!" Coining down, tho' littlo follow laid himself out on tho cross-ladder and said "Ow!" -then ho travelled cautiously to the tip, hung by ono foot, fanned himself, and oxclaimcd "A?1 right!" This seemed to bo an impossible trick, but it was performed without ti blunder. At tho ond of the ladder-climbing and posturing, tho agile little lad sprang up a cord to thc roof ol' the Acad? emy, pnt a pulley upon a tight rope which spanuod tho building, and ran down to tho lust row of | boxes with immense velocity. Ho was caught by two mcu, upon thc shoulder of ono of whom he perched, and wont oui ot sight in a blaze of glory. r'AU right-Owl" The perfect graoo of those performers is note? worthy, All they do is to destroy our faith in the laws of nature by the calm performance of feats apparently impossible. The performer who en jages the attention of the spectator at the luo mcntis always gravc.exeept the irr?pressible young gentleman before noted, who cannot help showing (hst he is jolly. The remainder of tho company 1 find relief in thc ejaculatory "Ow!"-a monosylla hie refrain which resounded through tho streets around the Academy last night, ns tho laughing audience dispersed, repeating it in chorus. The Japanese clearly give us a new "sensation." How they Manage Hallways in Englautl. lu asking recently, in his placo iu tho|:Houso of Commons, for a committco to investigate the affairs of the london, Chatham and Dover Bail road, for his connection with which ho has been atrociously abused by tho tory journals in Eng? land, Sir MOUTON PETO gavo a curious insight into English railroad management. Ile said: In rising to move for a select committee to in? quire into the means adopted by tho London, Chatham and Dover Ballway Company for raising tho share capital, and exercising their borrowing powers under tho various Acts of Parliament au? thorizing the construction ol' (ho main line, and its extensioi. nud branches, he should bo wanting in candor to tho House if lie did not?t once state that this motion had reference to various proceed? ings which had taken place, and of which ho had grievous reason to complain, on account of the unfair and improper way in which his name hud been brought before thc paulie. But it was not upon that ground ho asked for this committee. It was upon public grounds, and those only that he did so. He conceived tha: a careful review of all that had been done by tint company would leach some valuablo lessons. In looking into the various matters connected with this railway, he found that it was one hundred and thirty-six miles m length, and that thero had been passed by that of these acts had only been obtained after thc sovorest competition, and at great cost, he thought it would be a fair subject of inquiry whether there was ?ny necessity for this excessive h.-'isla tion. The whole Uno was cut up into fivo distinct undertakings a? regarded the. napUal, lhere hy occasioning great difficulty as io tho va? rious intercuts connected with thc line, and great difficulties lind also been created in reference to thc working of the branch lines in connection with tho main line. In reference to this railway. there were no lesa limn thirteen suits in chain erv by persons interested in various sections of tho "line for tho determination of their position in regard to each other. He found also that in the octa there were twenty-four separate debenture pow? ers and thirteen debenture inlet est?, and in addi? tion there were twenty-nine separate share pow? ers and three separate sh,ire powers yet to bo created. He felt stire, that, looking ar these facts, titcro were grounds) for inquiry hy a committee. Ho thought that in future ali inhircats .should bu equally represented un tho hoards of railways, HO that those interests iuighl.be protected. At the end of ISliS lie lirsl became aware (d' the rcji stale of this railway. At that (tine there vero only ?7??,?0? of ordinary capital possesing voling power in the company, and practically carrying the whole control over several millions of other capital." it was in reply to this request for an inquiry, that Mr. Disraeli, though politically opposed to Sir Morton Polo, paid him a compliment which silenced the people who had been so long persecu? ting him. lie said : '.No doubt they all know the great disasters in refereuce to Ibis enterprise, and be was sure that all those who knew the honorable baronet docply regretted that ho was connected with those dis? asters [hear, bear]. He [the Chancellor of the Exchequer] for ouc recognised and admired tho energy and enterprise of bia character, and re? gretted that be liad fallen into these troubled affairs [boar, beal-]. The H0U30 must sympathize with one who had for so many years sat among thom, and bad shown so mauy qualities entitling him to respect." Mr. Gladstone said he roust echo wind thc right honorable gentleman had said in favor of tho hon? orable motuber for Bristol (Sir Morion Toto), who bad obtained a high position by thc display of en? ergy aud taleut, and bad won tor himself respect by ti.e exhibition of so many virtues. Sir Morton Peto said he would withdraw the mo? tion. He felt ho was bound to thank thc Chancel? lor of tito Exchequer and t he right honorablo mem bor lor South Lancashire for the kind and courte? ous way in which they hud alluded to him. Having hud tue honor of a seat in that House, with u slight interval, tor nearly twenty years, it was ex? tremely gratifying to bim to hoar such kind words from the leader of thc opposite party.
