The LAST STAGE OF ALI.-The following anec-
dote of once popular favor,e Of the theatrical
world is related by the London correspondent OF
the European Times:
IAN incident, strange and somewhat melan-
choly in its character, will bring these hasty jos-
tings to close. The scene is the old Hummums
Hotel, Convent Garden. Tine about midnight.
The capaclous coffee-house, which has been
cupied by numerous parties reading the journals
or discussing more substantial enioyments, is
last thinning, and the writer ofths, finding him.
self nis uis with an elderly gentleman who has
been studying the contents Of an evening paper,
puts tho interrogatory, tAny news tonight, sirH
No answer. In louder key, ANY news, sir!'
Not muscle moves. Still louder, sAny news
this evening, sir!' All as quiet as the grave
The hope ofan interchange of sentiment or the
| acquisition Of information in that quarter was
clearly out Of the question. The old gentleman
continued 70 read on, and having finished his
last glass OF port, rose leisurcly, and left the
room.
SsThe gentleman you have been addressing
said the waiter, sis deaf--deaf a. post. He
can't hear--can't hold no conversation. The
greater part of his time he passes in this house :
You know him, then--pray who is he!' "A
great man in his day, SIR was the reJolnder OF
the attendant. sYou must have heard OF him
perhaps seen him. Hisname is Charles Kemblc J!

he cannot forget the scenes Of his former glory,

A NEW FORM OF MEsMERIsM.

1t is said that certain clock makers ct Bristol,
Connecticut, in making some chronometers late-
Iy, found it impossible for the work men 10 keep
awake when the were setting the instruments a.
going. 1t is necessary, in regulating them, TO
count the beats in minute by a regulator. and
change the hair spring until both 60 nearly in
time; then the screws in the balance are turned
until the greatest maximum is obtained, when they
are rated and the rate registered. The work men
find no difficulty with the parts, but when the
whole movement is going, any person who sits
down and counts the beats, or watches the mo-
ton OF the balance, invariably becomes drowsy.
Attempts have been made with other clocks
but they do not produce the same sensation.
The clocks are Of polished work, and gilded by
peculiar gavsnic process, which, if the fact. be
as here stated, may have something to do with
the effect. What is curious il, that the person
who is put 10 sleep continues to count the beat
ings OF the time with his hand or loot. The wri-
ter in the Boston Post, who gives an account Of
the matter, adds:
SIT affords some amusement 10 visitors to see
company Of men at work and half Of them asleep,
yet laboring to keep themselves awake. Expert
ments have been made with strangers, and it in
yariably produces the SANE effect. On Saturday
last collier came to the factory with load OF
Goals, and was admitted into the finishing room to
see the clocks. One Of the workmen desired to
make the experiment; accordingly the old man
was put TO count, striking on the bench with his
hand in time with the clock; he went to sleep
in three minutes, and was kept under the influence
for nearly an hour. His dog had followed him
into the room upon discovering his situation ex-
hibited alarm and ran about bowling in most
dismal manner; all this did not disturb the sleep-
er, but the moment The clock was stepped he a.
woke, and was surprised that 30 much time had
passed. There is some great principle hidden in
these phenomena that is truly mysterious"
