ParlOr Magic.

The local of the Louisville Courier
gets Off the following:
One who evidently understands
the busines of Legcrdemain having
noticed that nearly all the popular
magazines and periodicals are devot-
ing a portion of their space to that
science, proposes to edify the world,
and amuse the rest of mankind, by
publishing the directions Of several
tricks for parlor and home amusement,
He doesn't propose to 90 behind any
thing with ink on It, and consequently
has prepared number of tricks
which will be found not only inter
esting but instructive. In the long
autumn and winter evenings they
will form never failing source of
amusement. They are all susccpti-
bic of explanation upon natural
principles, and no parent can conse-
quently object TO them on the ground
that there is something wrong about
en-" These tricks are not only
healthy but perfectly sure in their
results.
The spittoon trick: Take two half
gallon spittoons-white ones are the
best-then select good strong cord
"A worsted one if il can he procured
pass the cord through the two
holes in the spittoon, and give the
ends to a lady and gentleman to hold.
Now let a lady seize the spittoons,
and, sliding them to the opposite
ends Of the cord, bring them together
smartly, when they will break to
pieces aud fall to the floor. The
trick is easily performed and will
excite considerable applause.
The magic stick: To do this trick
properly a pearl handled knife and a
stout hardwood stick, about two
inches long, are necessary. Sharpen
the two ends Of the stick, and then
try to crush il endway between your
hands, or by sitting upon it. This,
to your astonishmcnt, you will find
impossible to do.
The flying hen: Select a large,
well-ied hen-the color is immaterial,
though black is best-and place her
in a sitting position on some surface.
Then over her place a pasteboartl
box, eighteen by twenty inches.
Pound smartly upon the top Of the
box with a bone handled knife for
three minutes and then suddenly
raise il, when the hen will immedi-
ately hy away. This trick can be
performed by any one Of ordinary
intelligence, who gives his whole
mind to il.
The nail trick: Take two large
wrought iron nails, and wire them
together in the form Of cross. II
will then be found impossible ia
swallow them. There Is no deception
about this trick.
These are only a few Of the trick.
in his repertoire, but they will suiiic,
for the present. They are calculated
not only to amusc. but tn inculcate .
love of science among the young.

On the llth uli., for the first time,
the passenger trains Of the Selma
and Meridian Railroad crossed the
Bigbee river on the bridge which
has been in course Of construction
for some months past. This gives q
continuous line Of railway from Sell
ma 10 all parts Of the northwest and
southwest. The produce merchants
Of Selma are already beginning to
order Western produce from the St.

the railroad line from Vicksburg.
How true is the opinion Of tho
London Standard which places Gen.
Ire at the head Of living heroes IN
all that makes a life noble.
John g. SAKE, the poet, was one of
the orators at the monster meeting in
New York. Mr.. Saxe said: '1 never

Execution OF Two Generals.

The following paragraph, taken al
most rcrJdiim from the Shanghai
Baav Ncrs, describes a recent act
which, though perhaps a hard ncccs-
sity, is worthy of the man who per-
pctrated il:
1t appears that the Niceroy bad
reason to suspect two ol the eomman-
dcrs of the Yangchow forces Of carry
ing on intercourse with the Nieniel
leaders, ~ he determined to dccapi-
tate them rs an example, but as an
understanding was believed to c1-
i.t between them and their troops, it
was desirable to carry out the SEN
tcncc elsewhere than in their camps,
to ayoid disturbance. A messenger
was accordingly sent to inform them
that the Viccroy was so pleased with
the rcputcd efficiency OF their men,
and excellent arrangement Of their
camp, that he was coming down IN
rcr.on TO inspect them. Accordingly
nm the 5th ult. he made a rapid jour
ncy to Yangchow, was received, Of
course. with all honors, expressed
himself delighted, and requested the
two Generals to return with him to
Nankin to receive more at leisure
b; assurances ofcstcem. They obey
po. Of course, and were probably sur
pri.cd to lnd a court improyi-ed IN
route, themselves brought before
Il as prisoners, accused Of treach-
ery. and ordered to be decapiiated.
The sentence carried out, his Excel.
lency returned to Nankin with the
same expedition which had character
ised his whole proceedings. Di.ailec-
ton has not yet been completely *.
tinruished in the persons Of these two
officers; though their death. may
perhaps, prove a wholesome warning
10 others similarly disposed.

minutes; let il stand till cool, then

me tea cup full of washing fluid.
Boil half an hour briskly, then wash
them thoroughly through one suds,
rinse. and your clothes will look bet

twice before boiling.
