THE PRrsTIDIGuATEuR.-Herm the pres.idgi-
tateur has had few private sorees, at once social
and ysiical in character in this city. Only himself

could laugh at him if he waved considerable wand.

From private observation we have been led to believe
that Hermann is the most dangerous man TO the COM
muny because his relations with tho Evil One are go
close. He WI be one Of the great sensations, f"
because BE- new, because he has title that few
can pronounce on Gnt trial. aud because he is mar
yelous master Of sleight Of hand. And when ke has

htons are amazing, and must be the result Of some
subtle intuition. The inference after an interview with
Hermann is that some men are Gent into The world en-
