The Latest Triumph Of Lsgsrdsmsis.

"Prof" Hartz 10 executing "a boz
trick " before large New York audiences,
that is triumph OF the necromancer's
art and beats anything yet done hy the
spirit performers. We quote the story
Of it from the Tribune: The professor
steps forward, carrying q thick green rug
probably ten feet square. The semi cir
cular stage was cov,rsl with q heavy
Brussels carpet. aud at the back between
the pillars we're hung crimson curtains.
The professor said that he had heard il
alleged that he had confederate sndsr-
meath the stage, and to show that this
was not true spread the rug upon the car
pet, after satisfying the spectators that it
was uncut An unpaintcd box. about II
feet long sns ~ IHcncu ueep uu~ ws~ss

down in the center OF the rug. 1t bad :
turn. over Ind, fastened at the back with
three common iron hinges, and two stout
iron hasps fitted tive staples driven
into the front Of ne box. A few air.
holes had been bored through the top and
sidc,. The box had been put together
with elinched nails, the ends being bound
with sheet iron. Three gentlemen from
the audience stepped upon the stage at
the professors request, and having given
the box a thorough examination, bound
it round and round 10 expert fashion, ~
ing a multiplicity OF curious kaots at
every possible place. Even the rspe.
handles were made use Of, and the hasps,
after being placed over the staples. were
securely fastened BY taking q turn thrs'
the latter. A narrow red ribbon was tied
tightly about the first knot and seaisd
with sealing wvx. A canvas cover 10 the
shape Of a Roman cross was placed
around the box. and the committee bound
this around with another rope, sealing
she knot us In the other tase. The pro-
fessor assistant, n full grown man. d.
vested himself vi his coat and waistcost,
and submitted to have long tight nt,ing
sack Of thin muslin drawn over bis heat
and body. Then, lying upon the box on
his back. he drew in his legs 20 IS to en-
able the professor 10 &c: a good grip on
the open end. One OF the committee
tied this tightly with his own handker
chief, and it was further secured br
another piece Of ribbon, which was seal
ed. Three common screens were then
placed around the box, and the professor
and his other assistant and the commit
tee stepped aside. This was at y 80 ex'
actiy. Two minutes later rspping vas
heard, the screens were removed. and the
muslin sack was seen lying empty upon
the box All the seals we're unbrokeu.
The committee undid the ropes aud lifted
the lid Of the box, and the man who had
been tied up in the sack stepped out.
looking none the worse, except for
flushed face, Of his close quarters The
professor had in vain offered $1,000 70

breaking the seal, cutting the material.
or ripping the seams He disclai,ns any
spiritualistic aid. 1t is certainly much
more wonderful 'illusion" = than any
