! A Classy ESTERTAINMENT.-Mr. Dixon, who
advertised to show up Paine's alleged discovery
as humbug gave his lecture and experiments at
Iroquois Hall, Jersey City, Monday evening to
very thin audience at fifty cents head. Mr.. d.
| talkedconsiderably about Electricity, Ga5and Mr.
Paine, and finally produced very fair representa-
ton of Mr.. Paines apparatus and Light, as they
are represented by the newspapers. He exhib-
tied his magnets, electrodes, helices, &c. con-
nected his wires set the water TO bubbling and
! then lighted his two burners, one representing
| the flame of pure hydrogen and the other that OF
| carbonated hydrogen. He then explained to his
auditors exactly how the thing was dld-that
| the real hy drogen from one burner was produced
! from the metallic electrodes by mixing sulphuric
acid with the water in the iar-that the other
! light was produced from the turpensine or cam
phine, by an ingeniously hidden wick-that the
magnets, helices, &c. used for the occasion, were
made Of wood. Indeed the whole performance
was excessively wooden. Mr.. d. had no difficult
/ ~ in showing that his light was a humbug, but
utterly failed in demonstrating that Paines is OF
the same stamp. Mr. ?. will do that part himself
in the estimation Of the public, if he doesn't
strike light soon
