THE GOLD FISH TRICK.
How a Necromsnerr cnme TO eric

Max Adeler relates the following:
Several of the magicians who perform in
public do what they call the gold fish
trick" The juggler stands upon the stage,
throws a handkerchief over his extended
arm and produces in saccession three or
four shallow glass dishes flied TO the brim
with water, in which live gold fish are
swimming. OF course the dishes are con-
cealed somehow upon the person of the
performer.
Peter Lamb, the young fellow who lives
near me- discovered how the trick was
done, and he offered to do it the other night
at Magruder's party for the entertainment
of the company. So the folks gathered in
one end of the parlor, and in few mo-
ments Lamb entered the door at the other
end He said:
Ladies and gentleman, you will per-
ceive that l have nothing about me except
my ordinary clothing, and yet l shall pro-
duce presently two dishes filled with water
and living fish Please watch me narrow
ly.n
Then Peter flung the handkerchief ov ar
his hand and arm, and we could see that he
was working his way vigorously at some
thing beneath it. He continued some mo-
ments, and still the gold fish did not APP
pear Then he began to grow very red in
the face, and we saw that something was
the matter. Then the perspiration began
to stand on Peters forehead, and Mrs Ma
gruder asked him if be was we'll Then the
company laughed, and the magician grew
redder But he kept on fumbling beneath
that handkerchief, and apparently trying
to reach around under his coattails. Then
We heard something snap, and the next
moment quart of water ran down the
wszard's left leg and spread out over the
carpet. By this time he looked as if the
grave would be a welcome refuge. But
still he continued to feel around under the
handkerchief At last another SNAP was
heard, and another quart of water plunged
down his right leg and formed pool about
his shoe. Then the necromahce hurriedly
said tn at the experiment had failed some
how, and he darted into the dining-room
| followed him and found him sitting on
the sofa trying to remove his pantaloons
He exclaimed:
so graciousl Come here quickly and
pull these off They're soakin' wet. and
I've got fifteen live goldfish inside my
drawers fippin' around and raspin' the skin
with their fms enough to set man crazy.
Ouch o Moses Hurry that shoe off
and grab that fish there at my left knee, or
I'll have to howl right out"
Then we undressed him and picked the
FISH out of his clothes, and ! discovered
that he had had two full dishes of water
and covered with India-rubber tops. straps
ped inside hiss trowsers behind. In his
struggle to get at them he had torn the
covers to rags. We fixed him up !, pair of
Magrudor's trowsers, which were six inches
too short for him, and then he climbed
over the back fence aud went home. He
says now that the next time he gives ok
hibitions in public he intends to confne
himself to ventriloquism.

hardly think the late freeze damaged
the wheat crop to any great extent, but
some of our farmers say the prospect
of the crop is not as tiattering as it was

From the information that We receive

crop of peaches and apples has been
killed. Our Ouly hope for fruit ia in
blackberries, IA crop that has never
been known to fail in thi- county.
Bristol Courier: People differ as to
the extent of the damages by the late
cold spell. White wheat, where it was
in Joint, is Tuined-where IL WAS not
80 forward, il is damaged, but time
alone will develop the extent. Red
wheat stood the cold much better, and
is not damaged much. Unfortunately,
the larger portion of the wheat seeded
was white, aud it was very forward.

TIRED MOTHERS.

A little elbow leans upon your knee
Your tired knee that has so much to bear;
A child's dear eyes are looking lovingly
From underneath a thatch of tangled
hair.
Perhaps you do not heed the velvet touch
OF warm moist fingers holding yours so
tight
You do not prize this blessing overmuch.
You are almost too tired to pray to night.
But it is blessedness. A year ago
did not zee it as / see to-day
We're all so dull and thankless, and too
slow
To catch the sunshine till it slips away
And now it seems surprising strange to me
That while | wore the badge of mother
hood, --.- ..r f-.....-...
did not kiss more oft and tenderly
The little child that brought me only good
And if, some night, when you sit down to
rest,
You miss this elbow from your tired knee;
This restless curly head from off your breast,
The lisping tongue that chatters con.
II from your own the dimpled hand bad
slipped,
And never would nestle in your palm
again
If the feet into their grave had slipped,
could not blame you for your heartache
then.
1 wonder so that mothers ever fret
At little children clingng to their gown
Or that the footprints when the days are
wet,
Are ever black enough to make them
frown.
If l could find little muddy boat
Or cap or Jacket on my chamber floor
If | could kiss rosy, restless foot
And hear it patter in my home once
morei
If could mend broken cart today,
Tomorrow make kite to reach the sky
There is no woman in Gods world could
say
She WAS more blissfully content than l.
But ali the dainty pillow next my own
Is never rumpled by a shining head;
Ny singing birding from its nest has
flown;
The little boy 1 used to kiss is dead.

JOHNSON CITY, EAST TENN,
April 20, 1875
To the Editors of the Chronicle:
On last Friday evening the citizens
in and around this place were fur
nished with rich feast of delicious
viands, served in the manner of intel
lectual pabulunI. The occasion refer
red to was the closing exercises of
Professor Lenoir's school. The peo-
Pile of this place have been very for
tunate in obtaining the services of
such an educator as The Professor has
shown himself to be. They ought to
congratulate themselves. He has been
instructing the youth OF this place in
the school.r room for the last three
years, and by his assiduity, his gentle
manly department both in and out OF
the school,room, his erudition and
affability, has endeared himself to this
people Oy a tie that absence can not
sunder. He leaves here in very few
days for his old homestead at Phila-
delphia, Tennessee. II he intends
making teaching his business through
life / don't know why he should not
remain right at this place.
The town is improving rapidly. The
people all seem 10 De KIM anu uOspll-
able. They eat food, the richest the
land produces breathe air as pure a
ever floaIed through trembling Osier,
and slske their thirst with water as
fresh and sweet as that which Moses OF
tanned for the murmuriug Hebrews al
Mount Horeb's rock. The best wishes
of this people go with your Professor
The department Of music, presided
over by Miss Hacker, was we'll repre-
scented. The selections were excellent
showing a highly cultivated taste on
the part Of the teacher, and difficult
pieces were rendered with a degree o
perfection which can only be attained
by close application, coupled with
thorough teaching. 1t was quite
pleasant TO one who was only taxing
the part of an idle spectator, to sit anC
gaze upon the airy form of beauty
gracefully undulating to and fro OF
the rostrum just in front Miss Hack
err, too, gives every evidence of thor
oughness in her calling. 1t was a real
EMO, able occasion, and when suci
things do occur they are like GASES on
the burning sands Of Sahara.
Respectfully,

SEvIERvILLE, April, q, 1875.
To the Editors of the Chronicle:
On the night of the 14th inst, the
house together with most OF its con-
tents of Mrs. Mary Trotter, was con-
sumed by fire. She lives at what is
known in'this county as Pigeon Forge.
She is the widow of Capt. WIN. Trot-
ter, of the 9th Tennessee Cavalry, u.
5. A. She seems To think il took Ire
from the cooking stove in the kitchen.
1t took place about IL O'Clock in the
night and the fire made such rapid
Roadway that but few things were
saved. She has the sympathy of all,
and people should contribute some
thing to her wants.
The late cold weather has killed the
most of the fruit. Some people seem
TO think there will he some apples.
Wheat looks badly, think il is dam
aged, but few warm days may make
quite "a change in its appearance.
Young clover doii't seem To he hurt
while the old stock looks injured but
not killed. Old people FAY this cOun-
try has never been visited with such
cold weather since they have lived in
it.
We must compliment the action of
the mountain road meeting, held Sin
Sevierville the other day, which was
published in Fridays CHRONICLE with
one exception, that Sewer county
should first show her hand 10y private
and county appropriations, say 81 600,
and then call upon the county OF Knox
to give something, and | viii venture
to say that there is but few Of the pub
lie spirited men in Knox county, who
would not be willing to contribute
something to aid the enterprise. But
we should do something at home first,
and then we could have some assur-
ance of help from other sources. We
hope the people will push forward and
every one do something. 1t is good
enterprise. SEWER.
