Tycoon. What do you think of yourselves ~
This sort of statement addressed to people
who have been accustomed to esteem them
selves sufficiently well-todo and respectable
to satisfy ordinary ambition. If not to win tho
appreciation of The World, who eat and
drink three times O day. and who pur-
sue their avocations and enjoy their amuse-
ments in much the same manner as Of
any other time during their lives, including
even the blessed period Of Dir. Bechalans
Administration, is not likely to spread con.
yiction over On extensive space. 10 what
degree The World has been successful, We
are unable to guess. Probably its chances
are about even with those of the founders
of the system. Tho majority of their
subjects, we take it, decline to be "im-
pressed" We also take it that 9 few Of
the feebler-minded have been duly " influenced"
since so much persistence 10 endeavOr could
not be accounted for without some indication
of at least limited success. Undoubtedly
there are readers of The World who despise
themselves as constituents of an abjcct and
spiritless community; who suffer the pangs Of
ina ginary faminei who have torsworn faith IN
their native land and who would even con-
template secret and dangerous intrigues against
their Government without revtllsion. All Of
which only proves the dexterty and determin-
alton of the Z" Electro Psychologists.
Sweet are the uses of little common sense!
A reasonable reflection or two upon tue most
obvious of our social and national conditions
might if fairly opposed to the dreary phaa-
tasIns of the professors, act like decree
of emancipation to tho victims. Such
things have happened in the original exhibit
tous. Indignant friends among the audience
have sometimes proclaimed in forcible terms
their sense of the knayery Of the operators and
the folly of the subjects. Whenever q subject
rebelled in consequence. the operator multi
piled his efforts. II the subject grew skeptical AZ
10 the cold in bis head or the pain in his bowels,
he was doomed anew to gripes without stint
aud innumerable blOwiDgs of The nose. Tha
more DO asserted his manhood, the greater
was the influence brought 70 the sub
hgation of his understanding. Some
times the operator triumphed, sometimes
not. The plan of the professors OF Ihs
World is probably the same, aud hence, no
doubt the ingenious iteration 1t may be that
subscribers have doubted, ray, remonstrateds
III which case tie horrors Of their situation
had to be set before them once again, with
emphasis newly exaggerated and with distor
tionS freshly magnifed. We will do ths pro
fessors the justice TO cay that at this work
they have made themselves master hands; but.
for all that, we do not credit them with the
power 10 beguile forever the better senses OF
their victims. While the spell lasts, however.
We shall hardly know by which to be most en-
tertained-tte astuteness of the operators. OF
The easy faulty of the subjects.
