YELLOW FEVER IN CHABLEsToN.--From the
Charleston Courier of the 20h we extract the fol-
lowing:
Of veryrecent aTiyals-haVe been admitted into the
Roper Hospital since the llth inst. OF these cases
four were in the fourth day at admission and one
died in an hour and a half after admission.
The deaths in all, under these circumstances, have
been six leaving ten cases there still under treatment,
some OF which are in such stage that no opinion
can yet be pronounced.
To any one acquainted with the habits and grCUm-
stances Of the class OF population which furnishes the
cases admitted to the Roper Hospital it need not be
stated that the relative mortality in such cases is no
criterion whatever of the character of the disease
under other conditions, or of the condition Of the
city regards the health and safety of any persons
OF Southern acclmatiOn.

An ANECDoTE OF THE SENIOR MATHEws.-Math-

change in the appearance and expression of his face,
by simply tying up the tip Of his nose with piece
Of cat-gut, that he has frequently taken leave as if
for the evening, Of company, amongst whom were
some of his most intimate friends and returned to
them some time afterwards so transformed that not
one Of them has recognized him. He once INDUCED
in this roc in a manner as whimsical as it was re.
markable He was dining with an acquaintance,
Mr.. A, a respectable pawnbroker in the Strand.
In the course OF the dinner Mr.. A was summoned
to the shop below upon some business of sufficient
Importance to require his personal attention. Pre-
sently Mathews snached couple of spoons from the
table, Quilted the room, disguised his face in the
manner described, put on his hat, left the house by
the private door and entering the shop offered to
his friend himself the two spoons in pledge; having
received the sum he demanded and duplicate, he
reentered the house and quietly resumed his seat
among the company. Upon the return of Mr.. A,
to his utter amazemont, Mathews placed before him
the duplicate and money which, but few minutes
before, his entertainer had given him for his own
property.

FRANELIS's REBuEE OF YANKEE CURIosITY.-0n
his last trip by land to see his father in Boston, he
was worried almost to death by the ab0minable in

Neither man nor beast could travel among them in
comfort. No matter how wet or weary, how hungry
or thirsty the poor Traveller might be- he not to

GuestiOns as they would goad him with /; such as,
where he came from, and where he might be a-gong
and what religion lie might be CT, and il he was
married man, and SO on. After having been pro.
dgiOusly teased in this way for several days until
at last the bare sight of public house almost threw
him into anagHe, he determined to try the following
remedy at the very next tavern Soon as he alghted
from his horse he desired the tayernkeeper 10 collect
his whole family, wife, children and servants, every
soul of them, for he had something Easily important
to communicate. All being assembled, and wonder
ing what he had to say, he thus addressed them

But. perhaps, amidst 50 much
that was perplexing and inscrutable,
the most startling feat of all was
the production of al amazing guam
tity of tin cups from a hat borrowed
for the purpose. One hundred and
twenty halfpint cups are Successive
" produced from The interior with
uncomfortable rapidity. Then a
shake of the. empty hat fills it with
hundreds Of scent~packets, distribu-
ted among the spectators; another
shake, and whole packs Of cards
rise up in profusion; and. tumble
out If the lining, then the hat goes
off with a bang, and is trampled
on by the wizard to destroy the
effect Of the detonation then it is
torn up into fragments, and given,
wrapped up in brown paper, to a
gentleman in the stalls, Who hardly
has them a minute in his possession
before another report IS heard, the
restored hat fl es up to the ceiling
whence it comes to the owner at the
word Of command, and is inmedi-
ate]y pronounced to be the one
which. was originally borrowe+*.
Ali these feats are accomplished en-
tirely BY the Professors quickness of
hand, if we except q little possible
aid from electric currents, and the
art OF prestidigitation, it must be
confessed, has never been brought
to greater perfection. An excellent
band relieved the intervals of the
legerdmain, and the whole enter
tainment gave the greatest satisfac-
ton. The Professor contrives,
with Russian, German, and a very
llssttle English, to make himself toll
erably, ineligible, but his, illu-
sions are much more difficult to be
understood / than his discourse.
Ills London reputation will soon,
or we are greatly mistaken, be
more credit than his continental
celebrity.
