A Ma ,ician'S Trick.
The following story is told Of a Buff.!o man:
while MtcAllister. the wizard, was on a
visit last summer at Detroit, he concluded to
travel on the Great Western Railroad to Mag
ara Falls. At Windsor his baggage. which
consisted OF trunk and hand valise had been
properly inspected and marked in the Custom
House. Now, the professor is gentleman
not easily imposed upon; SO when the train
arrived at the bridge, the Custom House Off
cer came through the train, jostling passen-
gers valses and making himself rather famil-
lar with baggage which had already been pro-
perly inspected. Approaching Mac Allister he
requested him to open his hand valise to see
what lis contents were. The professor plainly
showed him the Custom House mark, How
ever, 70 convince him. MacAllister opened his
vaIlse, and had the modification OF seeing his
toilet articles displayed to the public view 4
meaning twinkle was in the professors eye
when lie remarked to the officer:
Why. my dear sir, it seems strange that
man holding the position you do should be
carving American imports on your person
without paying the regular duties

Now said MacAllister, 4 shall be
obliged to confiscate this property, and taking
out corkscrew from his pocket. he opened
the bottle and passed the contents around
amongst the many passengers.

IN disgust. amidst roars Of Laughter. This is
only one of the little tricks that MacAllister
plays whcE 4 opportunity occurs.
