are the last person to take exceptions, or
speak unfavorably of innocent recreation,
when you, a minister of the Gospel carry
cards about with you, toplay your games in
some sly corner, perhaps for drinks and
money -
" What's that you say, sir have cards
You are insane ~ he spiritedly exclaimed.
"Oh, yes, you are entirely mistaken,
Signor," cried the wag, my confederate
" for Mr.. is a strict, unwavering Or
thodox preacher"
"That may be-" answered "but he
plays cards nevertheless he has them in
his pocket now," and to prove my asser-
ton, | drew q quantity from the shawl
round his neck, and with great rapidity de-
posted the balance in his pocket.
The reverend gentleman looked confus-
ed and serious my droll assistant, Mr. c.,
declared was in error, and at the same
time put me in possession eff the backgam-
mon box and dice.
VIII you satisfy all present, and my
SELF that you haveno cards in your pock-
et?" l resolutely demanded.
"Oh, yes with pleasure because de-
spise such articles" he reiterated, as he
thrust his hands into his pockets from
which he drew the cards, the appearance
of which covered him with confusion.
l Immediately exclaimed, 81 knew was
right and that is not all. You are an ex-
pert gambler, for look here" l continued,
taking the hat from his head, out of which
tumbled the box and dice.
"This SO completely nOnplussed him
that for few moments he was powerless Of
speech. Recovering himself, however, he
moved towards the door, and speaking in Il
severe tone, said:
"You'll do, sir you'll do " and quickly
left for the street.
The effect upon all was intensely rich
and memorable, and no one better appreci-
ated the incident than myself but without
the involuntary aid Of my mischieveous
friend, could not have triumphed so sue
cessfully. The story spread far and near,
and gave rise to great mirth and an editor
of one of the city papers, the Times, pub
lished in his daily issue that the clergyman
would not have been more surprisd if he
had found sheep in the pocket.

THE MERRY SIGNOR BLITz.

CIGNOR BLITZ, the eminent magician
~ whose fame is national, has just pub
lished book entitled " Fifty years in the
Magic Circle;' containing an account
of his curious career. We quote the fol-
lowing anecdote
While chatting with few friends, one
Saturday afternoon in the M. S. Hotel at
Hartford, clerical gentleman of mild de-
meanor entered and examined the register,
for he was expecting, as he observed, a
brother minister, to oficiate in his pulpit
the following morning. One of the gentle
men present, of humorous disposition, re-
marked to me that it was the Rev. Mr.,
of neighboring village, to whom he was
desirous l should be introduced. l en-
deavored pleasantly TO decline the honor, as
l concluded the introduction would not be
profitable or agreeable to either Of us, on
account of the decided impression enter
tanned in regard to his physiological devel-
opments, which ultimately proved my sa-
gacity but my friend b., one of the old
Knickerbockers of Hartford, was irresistible,
and was formally presented, and at the
same time requested to perform for his
qualification, particular feat to prove by
my skill how the mind and vision could be
deluded in the open daylight, independent
of all preparations and fixtures consented,
and succeeded admirably put the effect
upon him was such that without the least
hesitation, and in the most abrupt manner,
he commenced declaiming against my pur-
suit and expressed his opposition to all
amusements, considering them frivolous
and dangerous to the welfare ofmankind.
His words were so unwelcome and un-
generous that endeavored to convince him
to the contrary and while engaged in this
object my attention was directed by slight
pressure upon my back, and placing my
hand there, a pack of cards was dropped
into it. This was ammunition little ex-
pected, and I determined to use it to the
best advantage.
"Wby, sir" said to the dominic, you

couriers, and semaphore telegraphs, and
carrier pigeons and all the old world means
Of communication then in fashion. The
key thus obtained disclosed the whole cor
respOndenee, which turned out to be con-
nected series of letters from the French
government, smuggled into Jersey. The
rest history knows; the intended invasion
was abandoned and Napoleon went else
where.
"But what put you on the scent ?" asked
my uncle afterwards, with many apologies
to the expert.
"I suspected the trick from the first, al
though it was very good specimen of it.
The letters were too innocent and had too
little point in them. But they were done
with admirable skill. The grammar was
which bunglers use to guide them in wri-
ting the words which are to be read were
entirely absent The way in which the de-
ception is effected is this: The correspon-
dence, before commencing, take sheet Of
paper and cut holes in it, which, of course,
in the two half sheets exactly correspond.
They each take one half sheet, and when
the letter is to be written, the writer so ar
ranges the words that those intended to be
read shall appear in the holes when the
half sheet is placed over the paper, which
is of the same size. When his correspond
ent receives his letter, he places his half
sheet over it and reads the words rs you
did. The difficulty, which was we'll con-
quered in this case, is to make the sense
run iluently and to prevent any visible
break in the writing. Without the half
sheet with the holes in it, no one can have
the slightest clew to the real meaning.
"My suspicious, once aroused, were con-
firmed by the inquiries which l made
The whole story about the sister was a
fabrication. The letters did come from
Jersey, the answers went to Fleet street, to
the charge Of very notorious foreign agents.
But if our friend had not been fool enough
to leave his half sheet in his desk, we
might have groped in vain for the mystery.

1t transpired afterward that some accom-
plice had warned him of the experts visit
to the Admiralty, and his enquiries in Jer-
sey. lie had made an attempt to get ad-
mittance to his room, but was scared by
the sounds he heard, and contrived to so
escape to France. The lady who acted
the sister, and who visited the Admiralty,
partly to put the authorities off their guard
and probably also to interchange the key
to the cipher, was Partisan celebrity who
both before and afterward was renowned
for daring in political intrigue.

Killing a Stuffed Coon.

TN thriving little village in one of the
Il wide valleys of Pennsylvania, an old
coon hunter has lived several years. On II
beautiful moonlight night after some Of the
friends of this affable gentleman had left
his house, they resolved to have little fun
at the hunters expense. After discussing
for some time as to the best way of doing
it they at last hit upon the following plan.
A coon skin was procured and 30 stuffed
that its shape would resemble in every re-
spect the living animal
This was placed upon the limb of a tree,
and when all things were ready one Of the
party informed the hunter that coon could
be seen on the limb of tree about one
once came to the place, and heard noise
near the spot mentioned by his friend, and
was fully convinced that precious game was
near at hand. Without making any ex-
citement, and taking things coolly, as all
good sportsmen do, he quietly shouldered
the gun and took with him Jack, his favor
ite dog, and proceeded with all speed to
the tree upon which the animal was to be
found. One of the party prepared to shake
the coon down. "No," said the hunter,
"get out of the way and let me have the
pleasure of shooting it. He took aim and
fired, and down it came. Jack gave it a
shake and walked away when the old hun
ter stepped up and gave it kick, and
said, "Dead dead p He gave it second

tB- peculiar tree, called the tallow-tree,
grows in China, the fruit of which contains
seed covered with white, solid, fatty
matter, which the natives convert into can
dies. 1t is proposed to introduce this tree
into South Carolina, the south of France,
and Algeria, where there is every prospect
of It's being successfully cultivated. In
China, it forms vast forests, and gives rise
to considerable branch of local commerce.
The Government of British India has in
troduced it throughout the different regions
of the Peninsula, 1t now being ascertained
that it grows equally as well in the Pun
.jaub and northwest provinces as in China.
The fatty matter produced by the tree IA
vorably compares with the finest tallow,
and when manufactured into candles, burns
with clear white flame of great brilliancy,
and emits no smoke or disagreable odor.
