MAGIC SIMPLIFIED.-The following tricks
of legerdemain will be read with interest, es-
pecially as we are having dearth of amuse-
ment
The Magic stick. To do this trick proper
ly you will need pearlhandled knife, and a
stout, hardwood stick, some two inches in
length. Sharpen two ends of the stick and
then try to crush it endways either between
your hands or by sitting upon it. This, to
the astonishrient of the company, you will
find impossible to do. The better to deceive
them, keep perfectly calm countenance.
The Four Jacks. Select pack of cards
with plain white backs. Take out the four
jacks and burn them before the company, let
ting them see the ashes. Now, shuttle the
cards quickly, aud, holding them up in the
left hand, gave them sharp rap, with the
face down, and defy the company to find the
jacks. You will have them completely fool
ed.
The Flying Hen. Select large well-fed
hen-the color is immaterial, though black is
best: place her in sitting posture on smooth
surface then place over her pasteboard
box eighteen by thirty inches. Pound smart
ly on the top with bone-handled table knife
for three minutes, and then suddenly raise
it. when the hen will Immediately fly away.
This trick can be performed by any person
of average intelligence, who gives his whole
mind to it.

How TO PRESERVE FiGs.-The Scientific
Press describes the process Of drying and
packing figs: Allow the fruit to remain on
the tree until it becomes dead ripe, then pack
end dry upon boards or mats, care being TAX
en- that no rain falls upon it, as few mo-
ments of rain will spoil the same. Care
should slso be taken that the drying process
is not carried too far. While the pulp is yet
moist and pliable, the fruit must be snugly
packed tround boxes or drums are prefera-
ble) and stored in moderately dry place
about four months, during which time the
gummy or mucilaginous pulp will be particu-
larly converted into grape sugar, portion of
which win find its way through the pores of
the skin to the surface. During this process
the peculiar favor of the fresh dried fig. so
unpleasant to somo tastes, will gradually dis
appear by the chemical action which takes
place. No sugar, or any other substance,
should be added to the fruit. The most of
the California produced figs which find their
way to market are dried too much before be-
ing packed.

ed to the pallor of death, his lips became
white, his eyes seemed ready to barst from
their sockets, and he swore by the Eternal
God that be would kill the man who had lied
to him, and that his own right hand, then
raised to heaven should asenge the death
of his comrade. 4nd he did. Booth call
ed to his counsel but few friends, some
of whom were in Washington, two of whom
were not. lie marked the President for his
own avenging, and to others was given in
charge to kill Seward at the same hour, for
his interference. As we believe, under the
Directing Power of another world, Booths
hand did avenge the death of Beall. He was
the martyr to private feelings. for he knew
that almost certain death awaited him, but
he cared not for that. lnfamed by revenge
going like bolt of wrath to the President,
he fired the shot which sen. echo after echo
down the long lane reaching TO the future
He kept his word, he avenged the death of his
friend, aad wondrous Providence dealt then
with him as the world knows of. But Seward
lived. There was not that ''lightning"in the
hearts of those who were deputed to aid Booth
in bis avenging that filled the soul of the one
who settled so terribly in full with the Presi-
dent. And so died Abraham Lincoln, not by
the hand of one struck in behalf of nation,
but by the hand of fiery, impetuous stage
walking tenement of chivalry. Had he kept
his word he would not then and there have
died, no matter what his fate afterward.

The SMALLEST SHIP OF THE EOcEAN.-About
three weeks ago, two men started from Cork
Harbor, ireland, to cross the ocean to New
York in the City of Ragusa, decked boat OF
less than two tons burden. The crew con-
sists of Captain Buckley, the owner, and an
Austrian Italian named Pietro Di Costa,
both experienced sailors.
Captain Buckley is an Irishman, born in
the county of Limerick, and some Of his fam
lily reside in Cork. He formerly served in
the army Of the Papal Government, ard was
taken prisoner, in 1860, during the short
campaign Of Castelfdardo and Spoleto, by the
invading forces of King Victor Emmanuel.
lie served the Pope three years, and is a
knight Of the Order of st. Sylvester. He
has since been an officer of an American pas
senger-stea mer. and lately master of large
vessel in the China trade. lie has been re-
warded with the harmony silver medal of the
Humane Society for saving two lives on the
English coast near IIythe. TIE other man,
Pietro Di Costa, was master of an Austrian
merchant-vessel, which was wrecked on the
Goodwin Sands, when his wife and two chill.
dren were drowned.
The boat which Captain Buckley has fitted
up fer this adventurous voyage to New York
is 90 feet in length and 6 feet in breadth Of
beam her registered burden is II ton. She
is strongly built, double foored inside, and
has been decked over. leaving a small cock
pit aft, SO that there is cabin. 5 feet wide,
and A feet 6 inches high, from floor to roof.
The City Of Ragusa originally belonged to
the ship Breeze, which foundered in storm
in the Irish Channel, and in it fourteen OF
the crew succeeded in reaching the Isle OF
Man. She is now riggid as yawl, and can
set square sails on both masts, spreading al.
together seventy yards of canvas, in eight OF
nine sails. But she is also furnished with a
two-bladed screw propeller, which can be
worked either by hand or by windmill, as
shown by our illustration, erected just before
the mizzen-mast. The propeller can be raised
when not in use. The City ofRagusa carries
three months provisions, and one hundred
gallons of fresh water in her tanks.

a STRANGE sTRoY.
Why Booth Shot President Lincoln-Pri-
Sate Revenge.

The following is from Pomeroy's American
History:
To attract the attention of the North. and
to give chance for respite to. the South,
John Yates Beall was sent into Canada to OPP
crate on the frontier. His was nature much
like that of a-hot-blooded. yet cautious,
daring, but not rash. Booth tried to dissuade
him from the step. but in vain, bat promised
to stand by him if there came q time when
the life of Beall should be in jeopardy. For
wears previous to the arrest of Reall and his
trial, between John Wilks Booth and himself
had existed the closest intimacy. They had
drank from tie same cup--slept in the san.e
bed-admired the same girls-spent convivi-
nj nights together, aad so ran their social
lives into each that like Damon and Pythias..
thev were more than brothers. When last
we saw John Wilkes Booth in Chicago, at At
time during the war, when he, Artemus
Ward. or Charles F. Browne. and the writer
hereof, were in the refreshment room under
McVicker's Theater, as certain men in Chi
cago remember, he was then, as for years,
firm friend of Beall. This friendship began
long before-it never ended. With the plan
to
ABDUCT LINCOLN.
and hold him in some isolated retreat in the
South, till for his release all Southern priso-
ners in Northern hands should be given up,
Beall and others, including poor Mrs. Surratt
were familiar. When Beall went as the spe
cial agent of the South on a hazardous mis-
sion, the friendship of Booth went with him.
At last Beall was arrested. He was tried and
sentenced to death. Then, with him looking
into the Eternal Mirror, our chapter begins
its ending. John Wilkes Booth resolved to
make grand attempt to save the life of his
friend Beall. and conveyed information of his
purpose to him, with the whisper of hope
part thereof At this time Booth loved, with
strange and tender devotion, daughter of
John p Hale. United States Senator from
New Hampshire. He worshipped her as, in
his mind, the best and purest woman be ever
had seen. She admired him, but not with
that eternal-reaching wilderness Of love his
was for her. For the purpose of our recital
we must draw aside a curtain to reveal a
glimpse of

Reflections on the ISeason-Btrds and F'yo'0-
erS-AH Nature Joyful Why not Aan ?
BELFAST, April, 1870.
DEAR NEws:-Will you permit me to
quote two lines of that beautiful hymn:
"Watchmau, tell US of the night,
Does the morning seem to dawn?"
Mankind seems to divide into two class
es, so far as the things of this world are
concerned. The first, and I fear the
largest class, care very little for anything
except they can see money in it. The sec
ond class have an eye to the beauties OF
Nature and the good Of man.
To the latter the first spear of grass, the
first leaf of the fowret, the first Spring
birds and their sweet songs, whisper in
their ears that Spring, the most beautiful
of the seasons, does seem to daVn. With
what delight this class plant and cultivate
their flower seeds. will name a few an
nuals that all should have; Candytuft,
Sweet Pea, Phlox, Stock, Asters, Antirrhi-
mum, Balsams, Dianthus, Pansy, Petunia,
Zinnia. These, with few bulbs, such as
the Cowslip, Violet, Tulip, Gladiolus, Lii
les and Dahlias, will make a lover of flow
ers feel happy until winter.
Then we have our pretty Birds. Some
stay all the year, such as the Red bird,
Wren, Jay and Tomtit. The Tomtit Is
the only bird, so far as I know, that can run
down a tree head foremost with the same
ease they run upward. The earliest to re-
turn in the EpriDg are the Bluebirds.-
