Mr.. MACALLIsTER.-Itis well known that
for many ages, chemical science concealed il
self under the garb of magic. DR.. Brewster
has accounted for all the wonders of the magi-
clans of the middle-ages, upon principles of
philosophy known to the very children of the
present day. 1t is only when the necroman.
GERS exhibit their wonders with unusual ad-
dress, that they, the present generation, can be
reused, for no one believes that they are as
sisted by any supernatural agency.
Of all the skilful performers we have vet
seen, Mr.. Macallister is the most sklful. He
has departed from the common tricks of the
common juggler. and has inreatcd vast mum.
Der oforiginal wonders. These are, doubtless,
in most cases, skilful applications of the re-
suits Of science, but they show TINT he has
studied those results with great attention, and
has made himself master of the sciences from
which they flow. He is, in other words, a
man Of mind, not mere slight-of-hand man.
He is, moreover, one Of the most graceful men
ofthe day, possesses asplendid person and adj
mirable address, and an amenity of manner al
together without parallel in the range of our
acquaintance with such matters. We under
stand, moreover. that he is highly accomplish
ed ia other respects than those connected with
his profession. He is one of the most fn
ished linguists of the day, has lectnred in
every country in Europe. in the language Of
each country, and speaks even fuen,ly the dia-
lec.s of India, which country he visited and
passed through, from city TO city, many years
ago.
He will lecture again tonight, as We have
said elsewhere, aud certainly they who have
not seen him will manifest very little taste il
they do not see him now.

MARLBOROUGH AND NEY AGAIN.


We hope we shall be excused for recurring
10 this subject, since we did not finish all we
had 10 say on Saturday.
With all our admiration for Marlborough,
and even with the light thrown upon his cha.
racteT by modern publications, we cannot per-
eeive any thing in his history which indicates
that generosity of disposition which ought TO
belong TO SO great man. He was accusedin.his
day of avarice, and of having protracted the
war 10 Flanders in order to fill his pockets
This we have always regarded as vile, detesta-
Bile Islander, concocted by contemporary ma
lice. to destroy great political adversary. 1t
was Of apiece with the persecution which arose
against him from the intrigues Of Mrs. Mars
ham with thatmiserabe old crone Queen Anne
the @good Queen Anne"-as "some great
fooln has called her. That he was one Of the
greatest warriors and statesmen that the world
has ever seen, there can be not the shadow
Of a doubt. Yet, as we have said, we see no
indications Of that generosity Of disposition
which is said to have distinguished Julius
Cesar. and of which even Frederick the Great
sometimes gave evidence. Consummately brave,
he seems to have been as cold aud as polished
as ice.
Ney was, Of course, far inferior in point of
capacity to Marlborough; but he had traits of
generosity which place him as man, far
above hita. Ii is only necessary to mention
one. In the battle of Corunna. the elder brother
Of Sir William Napier tthe historian) was
wounded and taken prisoner. Marshal Soult
hearing Of him. and learning who he was. had
him attended to BY his own surgeon. He was
soon after recalled to France, by the Emperor,
and Marshal Ney took his place. To him he
recommended the care of the young officer
who had been wounded, and he did not fail to
attend to the recommendation. Learning that
he had mother in England who was exceed
ingly unhappy about him, he wrote her let
ter with his own hand, endeavoring to comfort
her as far as he could, and as soon as he had
sufficiently recovered from his wounds, he fur.
nished him with money, give him his liberty on
parole, and sent him home.
Could Marlborough have done an act SO
kind and disinterestedi We doubt it.

LECTURE ON MUsIc.-We spent delightful
Friday evening in listening to DIR. Smiths
Lecture on Music, with illustrations, at the Elk
change concert room His full rich yoice. and grace
full demeanor rendered his mode Of delivery truly
fascnating and the matter of the lecture was most
instructive and entertaining. The object of the
lecture, he said was to call the attention Of parents
and others to some of the benefits arising from the
proper musical culture of the young. Dr. s. then re-
ferred to the present condition ofmusc and conras.
ted it with the st,showing the decided improve
ment which had taken place in the art evidenced
from the purer tones taught and the dropping of
the nasal and dental tones. He then proceeded to
point out some of the most garing faults in rythm
and melody that characterized choir, secular and
ballad singing in the past, and also at the present
time His explanation of the physiology OF the
human voice, and of the necessity of training chill
dren to sing in accordance with nature and the
pacity of the lungs, and without straining the or
gans Of speech, very conclusive and satisfacto-
ry. He then explained the moral influence of mu-
sic upon the young.
The illustrations in vocal and instrumental music
were given by the Doctors children, two sweet
and blooming young girls and manly and cour1e.
Gus youth They executed several quartettes and
Duets with considerable skill and feeling; and sang
in most affecting manner several simple ballads,
accompanied with the guitar, piano and violin. The
eldest Miss S. sang "Comin' thro' the rye with a
softness and piquancy absolutely charming-so
much that she was rapturously encored. The
younger Miss s., dressed in appropriate costume
carolled the musings of the 'Od Maid," convulsing
the audience with laughter, as with mock solemn.
ty she peered through her venerable specs upon
the young ladies of the audience, and warned them
not to follow her example in their treatment Of the
beaux. The audience separated perfectly delighted
with the unpretending yet chaste and harmonious
efforts of this gifted family.

The New York Times has an article upon
