The greatest presidigitateur now extant Is
Hermann who will open our theatre light for
six performances only. Where he was born no
one knows. He speaks French, German, Italian,
Spanish, Russian, and, tor aught that is known
to the contrary, Arabic, Hndostanee, and the
Mongh tongues. Save the accent, his English
is pure. He could make his way either In
YankeedoIn or in Yorkshire. We have, how
ever, nothing TO do with his gilt Of the Ian
guages, save that 1t proves him to be especially
favored by the prince of earthly knowledge,
the Gentleman in Black, who alone turns out
conjurers and prize poets, who, let 1t be said in
passing, are the greatest conf urors In existence.
He will twist off the head and tail Of a lady g
apdog, and II she objects, return It to her. alive
and kicking, with each of them where the other
ought " be. He employs no apparatus except
bis fingers. Now, this is just the man wanted
At the present moment. Aman who would sup.
ply n whole park of artillery for momentary
struggle would be worth to Secretary Cameron
considerably more than hs own weight In gold
The black art would be II great deal better than

theatre will be crowded this evening with the
