PRoF. MACALLlsTER's SoIREE.-Despite
the extremely unpleasant weather, yester-
day, and the threatening appearance of the
evening, the Opera House was filled in ev-
cry corner with delighted spectators of the
performances of Prof. Macallister. 1t is
beyond dispute that he ranks first in the
Art Magique. His hands defy the most OBJ
servant eyes, and without machinery and
paraphernalia he accomplishes the seem
ingly impossible. Two Of his experiments
particularly pleased us-the second, with
the rabbit and watch, and the fourth, the
flying specie. In the last, and to us new
trick, he was superb. From every conceiva-
BILE place, from the all, from tables and chairs,
from his eyes and nose, and the hair and
features of his auditors, seeming to snap
it through the crown of a hat as fast as
gathered, until the tile seemed half full
he gathered the specie, and his quick digits
de6ed the, narrowest watching r~Hr
Perhaps the most pleasing Of his expert
ments, last night, because the most incom,
prehensible, was the, couch of7the angels
The beautiful pose Of Nine Macallister al
