WONDERFUL PERFoRMANCE.-A man by
the name Of Mccormick, from Cincinnati, adver-
tises to walk across ceiling of polished Italian
marble, with his feet uppermost, at the Bowery Am
Fhitheater, on Monday next. BY the following
tice of his performance in Pittsburgh, it would
that he uses no deception whatever in accomplish
ing this unheard of feat, but ress.s the laws of
graviation entirely upon philosophical principles,
| the discovery and invention of which have cost hin
| years of study and application.

EXTRAORDINARY ExPERIMENr.-A man malk
ing, head dOunward, on the ceiiing!-Mr. John
Mccormick gave private exhibition on Thursday
evening, at Lafayette Hall, of quite a number OF
philosophical experiments. The mos extraordinary
was that of walking (by means Of shoes of peculiar
consiructioD,) In an inverted position, upon the
uIder surface of highly polished slab OF l.allan
marble, nlne feet by three IN dimensions, which Mr.
| M successfully periormed-a feat never before
achieved by any man lie ateTward explained
that slight defect IN the apparatus easily remedled
| rendered his task more afduous than usual AFTER
the exhibition, Gen Lnlmer made feS remarks,
stating that they had been called togeiherto witness
otthe strange st performances ever exhioltedhere

AN AppEAL-We, the Undersigned, have

hatcheled out by old foges OF all sorts but after
Drawing the mud and mantraps Of the slippery street
to get to Mr.. Beecher's lecture the other evening,
we were surprised to hear him comb down certain
class as men whose "moustache and whiskers had
sucked out their brains" Now we would like to
ask Mr. Beecher to what extent the power Of sue
ton possessed by the beard of Aaron and Of the
Prophets had effect upon their brains or how much
brainlessness resulted to Christ and the Apostles
from their flowing boards, without which no picture
| OF them would be tolerated by any Christian as
either genuine, venerable or appropriate Or, to
| take a modern instance, how far had moustache
| and vhiskers unframed Kossuth, whom MIR. Beecher,
| in the same lecture, characterized as the man
| "bom in Hungary, but accepted OF all the earIhF
II strikes US tina. MIR Beechers statement was bare
! faced assertion, contradicted By the very nooless
brains and be ards that ever descended from Adam
and we suggest that for the future Mr. Beecher
would do well TO Ward off the temptation 70 ny In
the face Of the highest heroes OF mis- worship
to say nothing of the numerous host OF us who wor-
| shin him WHISPERS.
