Correct Explanation of the Ghost.

The great novelty in the theatrical world is
the GHOST. Wallack's theater is nightly
crowded by many hundreds of our citizens
to witness this truly wonderful and startling
apparition.
An actor in the character of a murderer is
seen asleep on a lounge in the rear of the
stage, which is dimly lighted. Presently he
rises in his sleep and begins to rave under the
tortures OF remorse for his crime. Instantly
there appears at his side bright image of a
skeleton, so luminous that it sheds some light
on the obscurity around. Though startlngly
distinct 1t Is seen to be only the image OF a
skeleton, as objects on the stage are visible di-
rectly through the bones. The murderer strikes
his sword through the grisly horror, but it is as
impalpable as air. After a brief space the ap-
partition yanishes as suddenly as at came. II
makes no movement up or down or to either
hand, but simply disappears.
Some Of our contemporaries have published
explanations of the mode in which this won
derfu optical illusion is produced but so far
as we know, none of them have given cor
rect explanation. This we are now enabled
TO do on the authority of one of our learned
professors. .t
The plan is exceedingly simple. A very
large plate of glass is set at an angle on the
stage in front OF the actors an opening is
made through the floor of the stage in front of
the glass. aud the skeleton is placed beneath
the opening. As soon as a strong light is
thrown upon the skeleton the light passes mp
ward through the opening in the floor, and is
reflected from the glass producing an image
in the rear. The glass is an invisible mirror.
producing its image directly among the actors
who are seen through it.-lScientifc Ameri-

and the opening of Berkeley street leading di-
rectly to the Public Garden, Common and the
West-end renders it more accessible than ever
This street spans two railroads by iron bridg-
es, the last one completed at a cost of $4,000,
oeing over three hundred feet in length and of
handsome appearance. This ward will now
DE more popular in proportion to its increased
accessibility.
Z. In accordance with a law of the last Legs-
lature all the cities and towns in the common
wealth are to be reimbursed from the State
treasury for bounties paid to volunteers The
Assistant Adjutant General has prepared a
tabular statement in which it appears that the
amount thus due and to be paid to this city is
S564, 100 This is a goody sum, and our cit
liens could consider themselves thus much IN
If this were the end of the story. But the
"goak' comes out and the laugh comes in
when 1t is shown in the aforesaid statement
that Boston will have to pay State tax of
s1,07,726 as its proportion of the funds to
make those reimbursements.
