A sptundid iunche. E, kJ. J1aldw1in, now% of California, everywhere knowii as Licky Baldwin, worked oil his lat her'i farm when youngin Indiana. After tweity-tlye years of trial at various pursuits Ie drifted Into the bonanza distriet, Neva da, and in a few years, by well-judgad ventures in mining stocks, realized some millions. He became publicly known by building "The Baldwin,'' now so favorably known as a popular house, on Market street, 8an Francisco, 275 to 210 feet. Included in the struc ture Is Baldiwin's Theatre. The whole, including furniture, cost $3,000,000. Traveling through Los Angelos county ho fancled and bought a Spanish grant of 60,000 acres of bountifully watered garden land, and laid It out. in princely style. Of this 13,000 acres are moist bottom land, needing no irrigation. Outside of this he has artillcally irri gated most of the property by means of six miles of eight-inch pipe, anid beautiful lakes are formed here and there, with rustle bridges an( cther adornments. Some fifty rustle cottages are the homes of his army of working people. All sorts offarim buildings are tastefully arranged, iid flowing arte slan springs abound. of purest water. The orchard-has 1,200 acres, with 18,000 orange and lemon trees, 2,000 almonds, 300 Italian chestnuts, eighty acres of English walnuts, 500 acres of choice grapes, Innumerable apples, pears, - plums, eaches and ls, lie has i;0,000 euealyptus trees of twenty-seven varle ties, and 3,000 of the graceftul pupper trees, our most ornate evergreenu anl1d drooping variety, bearing a profusion of pepper-looking spice berries. A broad avenue Is laid out-, three n,iles long by 120 feet wide, line(d on each side Wilth eucalyptus trees. in the cen ter Is a row of pepper trees, making a grateful shade inl that sunn11Y cli mate, and the air is cooled by Iunumerable fountains. Soon a mansion in keeping with the surroundings will be erected on a rising knoll overlooking this fairy land, and some hundred tenantry, with gardens and cultivated Helds, will enl rich the landscape and make this charm ed spot a paradise, where the proprietor can pass lis declining years in peace fil contemplation of* the roona ' o' his creation. A Wonidorrul Box. A box constructed of connon flooring is placed upon a couple of carpenter's dogs. The box is about four feet high b)y three inl length and two and a half in breadth. The strips of flooring are securely nailed to up right standards, one in each corner. The angles are also securely strapped at inter vals with iron straps screwed firmly to the Iimber, both at the sides and at the bottom. The lid is constructed of the samei materials as the box, has a pair of heavy strap hinges, and is fastened by a hasp and staple, Ihe latter receiving a powerful padlock. Two Carpenters were recently called upon tle stage, is a special committee, to examine the receptable and report whether there was any false bottom or aniiy imiode of open ing it except by unilocking it and lifting the lid. After a full inspection, dring which the box was turned over, sounlded, pulled about, and tested inl every possible nner known to the trade, the committee pro nounced it a strongly mado packing box of the ordinary pattern. One of them, at re qulest of Macalister, then closedl tihe box, af fixed the padlock, turned the key, and lut the latter in his pocket. As a further pre cautIon 1he tied upi tile padlock in such a manner that it was impossibile to get at the 4 keyhlole. Th'le piano played slowly, and a areen was mlovedl bet ween the audience and the box, but not so as to conceal it en tirely from view, or to admnit a substitution. T1he magician passed behind the screen as noiselesly as a cat. In somewhat less than :10 secondls the screen was withdrawn, andl tihe commnittee were requested to exalmine the box. Meanwhile the magician had inys teriouisly vanished. Thiey reported that the lock hiad niot been tampieredl withI, unlocked it, and lifted the lid, when uip heaiped the mysterious magician, like .Jack ini the fa mnous toy, or the goblin in the Arabian Ie gendi. The question was howv lhe got in there The next procedure was to lock the magician in the box, with the same careful attention to dletail that had becen previously observed. Music trickled froml theo keys of an uinseen piano, and the green screen, 1;almost as thin as gauze, s1l(d slowly into place, andl remainedi for about 20 seconds. Not the slighest sound1( was hieardl behind the screen ; the dropping of a pin wiold~ have disturbied tile silence of that breathles 20 second~s. The screenl was withdrawn and revealed the magician sitting upon~ the lid of the box. Tlhe lock had nlot been taml pered withI or disturbed, nor had the assis-. taut beent out of the view of the audience for a single instant. The trick was the cause of a great (lea! af speculation among the amateurs who were present. A Rtevohttionary Her~ioineo.
