absolutely wonderful, and he seems to
have some invisible agents as obedient
to his command rs the Genii that waited
upon Aladdin. We can't describe the
feats performed. Go and see for your
self This is the last night of his appear
ance in this city. In addition to the at
fractions his feats of magic afford, he dis
tributes every evening one hundred pres

all. they being veritable, substantial and

will give to the holder of the lucky tick
