| PRoFEssoR ANDERsON.-It might seem unnecessa-
~ to allude to the world-renowned Magician An
derson. His fame is so far superior to the ordinary
of those who give exhibitions of this character
that we hazard nothing in asserting that his exh-
btion will be one really worthy the attention Of
both young and old. His entertainments, I'M
derstand have been patronzed by the crowned
heads and the arstocracy of Europe; and SO perfect
and complete are his Illusions that they have gained
the most unqualified applause of the most refined
and educated classes.

| A BOGUS BABY CASE IN PHmADELPHEA-A Strange
! Tran8actiom.-A hearing took place in Philadelphia
| on Monday. in Il which is equal to the famous
! affair of Mrs. Burde Cunningham and her bogus
| baby in New York. 1t seems that a certain pawn
broker in the Fourteenth ward who is somewhat
! advanced in life, has wife who is n number of
| years his junior. The couple have no children,
| and within a short time the husband received an
| intimation that the deficiency TO be supplied
in a rather irregular way. He made application
to shrewd detective, who told him how to proceed
in the event Of the occurrence of certain cOntin
gency. On Wednesday last the-vgife went out, and
after she had gone about half an hour, lady-a
sort of Yankee Mrs. Suddiechop- called upon the
husband and congratulated him upon having be-
that the wife had called in at her house, in the
Ninth ward, and after the little stranger had
| arrived.
The husband and was-t0be-fath er-whether-h
would -or-not, repaired to the house designated; but
he first called upon his own family physician, and
requested his immediate attendance. Upon enter
ing the room the lady was found in bed and attend
| ed by Mrs. Suddlechop and physician. The latter
| Immediately congratulated the pawnbroker on the
addition to his family; but the dealer in pledges of
different description skeptcal, and he prefer
| red to wait until the arrival Of DR.. G--, the
! physician whom he had summoned. DR.. c.
| soon after arrived and after q conversation with
the doctor area( on the ground, he stated his
| conviction that all was right but the pawnbroker
refused to be satisfied and as soon as DR.. C.
had made the requisite examination, he discovered
and denounced the fraud. The first physician then
| left, and the woman acknowledged that she had
| been guilty of deception.
1t seems that the bogus baby was procured at the
AlmshOuse and it was returned to that institution
after the trick exploded. In the meantime the
wife, her attending physician and Mrs. Suddle-
chop have been held for further bearing, on the
charge of conspiracy to palm off the child on the
pawnbroker. The latter has considerable property,
and this fact affords clue to the conduct of the
wife.
RAILROADS IN TURKEY.-On the fourth Of last
month was opened the first Turkish railway con
Meeting Tchernavoda Turkish, Boghasheni) on the
Danube, and Kustendjie, on the coast of the Black
Sea, distance of about forty miles. BY the old
route these two points were 800 miles apart. Ira
vellers by the railway thus economist 2G0 miles,
besides avoiding the many dangers attendant
the navigation of the Danube and the delays
common at the Sulina mouth of that river. The
opening of this line, which is destined to stimulate
the commercial activity of the region, attended
by many of the English directors of the undertake
ing, and the representatives OF Turkey, Greece,
Albania, Bulgaria and many sections OF Tartary,
whose costumes presented very picturesque ap-
pearance. Though Ethem Pasha, who represented
the Sultan on this OCCASION took a warm interest
in the success of the railway, it evident that
MS suite not very anxious to trust themselves
to the tender mercies of the snortng steam mons
ter whose acquaintance they then made for the first
time but couple of unhappy sheep having been
dragged forward and their Threats cut, one each
OF the rails over which the engine would pass, the
Pacha's people consented on the strength of this
propltiary offering, to accompany their chief into
the carriages reserved for them although their faith
was sorely tried in the effort The people of ustend
jie did not share these terrors; but were anxious
to try the mode of travelling, that force
cessary to keep them out of the carriages. The
trip went off most success 'ully; grand luncheon,
in the English style, awaited the guests on their
arrival at Tchernavoda; and yet grander dinner
was provided for them on their return to Kustend-
je, at the "New Railway Hotel" in the garden of
which establishment she'd handsomely decorated,
had been erected for the purpose. More than
hnndred persons sat down to this intcrnn tionn ban
quet at which toasts were drunk to the health of
Queen Victoria and the Turkish Sultan; the Pasha
testiyng the most cordial interest in the doings of
the day, and expressing his hope that similar lines
of communication would soon be opened in every
part OF Turkey.
THE REPUBLICAN HEAD QUARTERS IN WASHINGTON
SACKED.-On Tuesday night about II o'clock the
Republican headquarters in W Washington city
visited by number of rowdies who utterly de-
molished everything in the interior of the house
The Star of yesterday morning says
The wigwam presented this morning sorry APP
pearance to the crowd Of persons who visited it for
the purpose of ascertaining the extent of the dam
age. The lower story windows were protected with
strong wire net work on the outside, notwith-
standing which they were ridded with stones, pis-
tol balls, etc. The wire network was forced and
broken in, and the glass and sash completely de-
mOlished on the Second street front of the build
ing, and marks of pistol bullets were numerous on
the brick walls and window frames.
The attacking party, after perpetrating what
damage they chose on the outside, burst open the
hall door and rushed up stairs into the large room
where the meetings of the association are held
Here they effected more serious mischief by de-
molishng and pitching through the windows,
benches, chairs, etc, upSetting and rendng in
pieces the tables, DESKS staging, &c, demOlishng
Lincoln and Hamlin transparencies and banners,
breaking wide awake lanterns and statuettes of the
republican candidates, throwing large stones
through the windows from the outside, and other
acts which usually characterize the onSlaughts Of r
lawless mob. The drawers of the Presidents table
forced opened and rihed of their contents,
amongst which the books of the association.
On the hall floor lay large stones when had been
thrown in through the windows, and in the oppo-
site walls were the marks of pistol balls, which
having spent their force against it lay scatter
ed upon the floor. The uniforms and other para
phernalia of the Wide-Awake Club had been re-
moved from the hail to another part of the build
ing, which the mob did not penetrate, so that they
were not destroyed.
MISS CHARLOTTE CUsHMAN.-The New York Ec.
press says: Many years ago, Miss Charlotte Cush-
man was doing, at the Park Theatre, in this city,
what in stage parlance is called general utility
the work of three ordinary performers; filling the
gap when any one was SICK playing Mr. Richng's
parts it he was away, playing Mr. Chippendales
parts II he could not, would not do so; playing
Mrs. Chippendae's parts on occason-never re-
fusng to do what was allotted to her. AS may be
supposed one who held this position had as yet no
position to be proud of. One night, "Guy Man.
produced for Mr.. Braham, the great tenor, who
played Harry Bertram. Mrs. ChSpendale was
cast for Meg Merrilies, but during the day was
taken ILL., so this obscure utility actress this Miss
Cusbman, sent for and told to be ready in the
part by night. She might read it the boards if
she could not commit it. But the ''utility wo-
man" was not used to reading her parts; she
learned it before nightfall, and played it after
nightall. She played it to be enthusastical-
ly appauded, and so as to have Mr.. Braham say |
to her, 81 have performed in this piece with all |
the cleverest women who could be cast for Meg |
Merries, but you are the first who has manifested
any appreciation of the character; you played it |
At this half days notice, the part |
was taken up, which now is famous among dra-
matte ana Tn Is sudden performance of
the unknown utility woman, was the first step in |
that career which eliminates so spendidly.
CoUNTERFEIrING BY WHoLEsALE.-Ald. Butler |
yesterday gave audience to two men who. not sat |
sfed with counterfeiting the usual scale, went |
into matters with a rush. The name of counter |
feiter No. is Allen Aster, resident of the Twen-
tieth ward, while that of his confederate is Samuel
Boyd, hailing from Norristown. They were cap |
tured on the night previous at the house of Menas-
sab Price, publican, at Nineteenth and Poplar |
streets. 1t seems that girl was arrested while |
passing counterfeit note on the Western Bank of |
this city. The note was handsomely executed and |
as soon as examined by experts, it evident that
the girl was the stool pigeon of some one more |
astute than herself Moreover the girl was novice
in this class of crime, and not great deal of argu-
ment was needed to convince her that disclosure |
of the principals in the business would materially |
result in her own benefit. The girl, therefore dis
closed her secret, and on Monday night, when all |
was still, the house was surrounded by police and
descent made. Price made an early escape by |
leaping from back window, but the men above |
referred to arrested. close search of the |
premises resulted in discovering an aggregate of |
$1,000, all in SIS notes, bran new from the press.
The notes were concealed in crevices all over
the house, bat no press. dies, or engraving tools
were found to give clue to where the counterfeit
money made. The evidence adduced at the |
hearing only crcumstantial, but sufficiently
strong to warrant the binding of the defendants.
The magistrate asked 81, 500 bail As thew were
not able to give this, they sent to prison The
arrest is fortunate one, the bills were evidently
cd in lots fnr and in
