OTTAWA ILL.,, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 2 1867

"SOIREE MYsTICALLE," is the name of an en-
tertainment to be presented at Washington Hall
on Saturday and Monday nights, under the su-
pervision of Prof. G. A. Lewis assisted by his
brother OPERATOR of Brilliant Allegorical Vivants,
and G. p. Oben, the celebrated conjurer and har.
lsquin. From the lavish praise which has been
bestowed upon. it by the press throughout the
country, We are prepared to say that our ci liens
have rare treat in store, and we urge all to at
tend
Prof. Lewis ranks at the present day as one of
the most legitimate magicians now travelling
He not only executes feats and deceptions pre-
sented by NO other man living, but he exposes the
arts Of many and has been the cause of bringing
to light consummate humbugs that are viewed az
reality.
We copy the following from the Niles Daily
Times, and leave our readers to Judge of its
merits: rr.s ..,
A NIGHT AMID THE WORLD OF WONDERS
On Saturday and Monday evenings the talent
ed young American student Of Science and Nec-
romancy, Prof. c. A. Lewis, entertained a large,
select, and enthusiastic audience with his Mys-
tical Cabinet in a manner Justly crediting him
the greatest IllusjQnst, and Detective spiritual
ist Of the age. HHdeceptons are well performed
and very amusing, and during the evenings in
terpersed with those of grandeur and magnif.
cence, studied carefully from different sciences.
One of which is that great wonder Of the world,

General disengag,ng the soldiers hand
from his bride rein, put spurs to his horse
and rode off.

buster! And won't our boys have toback

his people rich. The suffers dod rot 'e,n

And he walked back to his beat, ignorant
OF the name and rank of the man OF whom
he had borrowed the money.
1t is bntjust to remark, says the gentlc-
man who tells the story, that suffering for
food, clothing and necessares, there were
no better soldiers in the army than tho
'Persimmon Brigade. The officers were
as destitute and as helpless as the men and
were powerless to help them. Col. -.
against whom the antipathies of many sol.
diers were directed, was brave and de-
serving officer. and was really in no wise
responsible for the fact that his soldiers had
no overcoats, blankets, food, pay and to-
bacco. He himself was but little better
off.

THE PUBLIC DEBT.-The U. S. Senate
has passed Mr.. Edmunds's Bill pledging
the redemption of the United States Five
TWenties in gold. by vote of 30 yeas to
nays. The Report of the Secretary Of
the Treasury contains an almost unan-
swerable argument on this point. The
Secretary quotes from Mr.. Thaddeus Ste-
vens's speeches in Congress, as follows:-
A dollar in miser's safe. unproduc-
tive, is II sore disturbance. Where could
they .nvost it! In United States loans at
six per cent, redeemaJIe in gold in i,een-
ty years-the best and most valuable per-
manent Investment that could be DESIRED
Again, Mr.. Stevens said =
But widows and orphans are interested
and in tears lest their estates should bo
badly invested. spity no one who has
money invested in the United States bonds
Payabie 1" goldm t'seaty gears, with inter-
est semi annually.
Secretary MeGulloch adds I'm these
debates very little was said upon the SUBJ
ject of the payment of the principal of the
bonds, apparently for the reason that no
one supposed that they would or could bo
paid in anything else than in the hereto-
fore recognized constitutional currency Of
the country. The same may be said in
regard to the debates upon the bills au-
tholizng subsequent issues.

The sheet was then lowered on the outside,
and carefully the brave boy let himself
out upon it. He enjnined his ro;her not

they drew back at their young masters

they went back into their KENNEL and if
the strangers heard them they thought they

| At length the hounds ceased their noise,
and all was quiet. An hour passed away
and so did another. 1t must have been
nearly midnight when they moved again,

have moved to the crack where he could
peep down. bat at that moment he heard
a man upon the ladder. lie uttered a
quick whisper to his brother, and they lay
perfectly still. The fellow seemed to be
perfectly satisfied that they were asleep,
fer lie soon returned to the ground floor,
and then Philip crept to the crack. He
saw the men take knives aid heard them
