"A prudent young man on Nelson street, not
being able to beau his girl home from church
on Sunday night, sent his father to do Ii for
him. He said if he had been keeping company
with her any length of time, there mi ght have
been no necessity for the precaution, but as he
was but little acquainted with her it was diff

AT a recent funeral In Danbury where sew

THE KING OF MAGICIANs.-willard's Hall
was cked last night with an audience COM
posed OF some of the best citizens of Washing
ton, with their families, who were bewildered
with the astounding feats o. Mons. Hartz. The
Davenport tricks are child's play and foolery
compared with them. The writer, who has
seen the most remarkable tricks Of Professors
Anderson, Herman, Heller, and other noted
illusionists, was forced to acknowledge that
HartZ surpassed them all, and is fairly entitled
to be called "The King of Msgicians." He has
no curtained tables and chairs, no bewildering
Parsphernalia to distract attention, but uses
the simplest looking articles, and performs
some of his most remark able feats while on the
platform among the audience. His trick enti-
tied "Aerostat Spiritual Is far more astound-
ing than the spiritual suspension of some necro-
maneers. A young lady suspended in the air,
her elbow resting upon a staff her only connec-
ton with natural things, is waited about and
raised TO horizontal position or lowered by
the breeze from an ordinary fan. The Indian
box and basket trick Is of the most astounding
character. 1t would take more space than TIE
STAR can spare to describe il. Suffice il to saw
that man passes in two minute s from the has
ket into the box through tieings, sealings, wrap
pings, lockings and planking that it takes two
OF the audience over five minutes to unite, nm
seal, unwrap, &c. But even that is not so in
COMPREHENSIVE az one of what he calls his
simplest tricks, by which an empty glass box,
suspended in flu, view of the audience by cords
Is instantly filed with colored cloth balls while
Hartz is ten feet OFF.

GOOD GAS being at this time a subject of
universal interest to our citizens, we last even
ing visited the new gas light on exhibition at
ment found the light decidedly superior to ordi-
nary coal gas. The mOdUs operdndi is simple
and practical, and is equally well adapted for
public or private use. The materials used are
air, water, and oil. As the two first named
articles cost nothing, and the expense of the oil
Ia trifling, 1t Is the cheapest gas light yet
before the public, and Is certainly worthy the
examination of all large gas consumers. We
call the attention of our readers to the advertise
ment in another column.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE OF A MAN WITHOUT
HOME OR FRIKNDs.-Last night, the police
picked up man at the corner of 18th and ID
streets in an insensible state, and took him TO
the central guaTdhouse. On searching him two
one ounce walls, marked laudanum, were found
on his person, one Of them empty and the other
fun. The man was recognized as John
Batham, well known in East Washington.
DIR. j. II. McBlair was summoned and set to
work vigorously, and after some time the pa
tient showed signs of consciousness, and later
IN the night was 30 far recovered as to be able
TO sit up. He persistently refused to give any
reasons for his attempt at self-destruction,
merely muttering that he had no home nor
friends. After sleeping of the fumes of the
poison and liquor, with which he was pretty
well stocked, he was permitted to leave. Mr.
Batham has been for some years past suffering
from an affection Of the kidneys, causing ex-
CIRCULATING pain, and was IN the habit OF taking
liquor as means of relief, and il Is thought
that the pain having become almost unbear-
able, he resorted 20 laudanum.

walks off and takes away the candle, and shuts
all the doors between the household cheer and
warmth and the pleasant stir of evening mirth
and leaves little son or daughter to hide its
head under the bedclothes, and get to sleep as
the pattern of Giant Despair, whose grim de-
light, contded to Diffidence, bis wife, over the

seemed most Inimitable-a perfect picture of
the meanDess of despotism. Not that the dear
mother means to be cruel when she tries this or

causes, or perhaps her heart aches; but she per-
severes, thinking she is doing right.

COFFEE DRINKERS have grounds for com

ton of values, from week to week. Prices are
now the highest ever known to the trade, and
there Is no immediate prospect of a decline.
During the past two months, a great demand
having been made for ground coffees, many
customers being unable to pay the high prices
demanded for the pure article, the trade in that
department has increased, with one leading
house in Baltimore, 800 per cent. The stock OF
Brazil coffee In the United States last Thursday
was &c, 600 bags less than year ago this time;
and foreign advices state that the Java crop
will be short. At the next sale of the Dutch
trading company, which holds a much larger
stock than at this time last year, liberal purc6a-
SEES are expected for the United States. as the
natural result of high prices here.
