sion. The doctor insisted on his
right to enter the sentinel, in con-
fOrmity to his orders, denied it.
The alteration was heard by the
General, who, recognizing the voice
of his friend, desired that he might
be allowed to pass into the hut.
"Pardon me, Doctor" said the
General, who lay on the ground,
wrapped up in an old military
cloak, 'for giving you so ungra-
cious a reception but the fact is,
the chances of war has robbed me
Of every comfort, and | confine N.Y.

rank, universally beloved and re-
spected, for whose accommodation
there was not an individual in the
service who would not have made
sacrifices, was thus circumstanced,
what must have been the miseries
of the lower grades and wretched-
ness OF the private soldiers?

thought worth while to maintain at

One reason for supposing that
Prof. Faust, of Cracow-" Faust,

may have belonged to the family Of
John Faust, the printer, of Ma
yence, is to be found in the lament
able but undeniable fact that he was
also given to romancing. Far from
denying his alleged connection with
the devil, he was in the habit Of
boasting of his influence in that
quarter, and he openly declared that
the victories gained by the Emper-
or's armies in Italy were all due to
his occult Vaccinations. The Poles
may have been amused by these
tales. But Faust's German friends
saw no fun in them, and were in
clined to look upon their author as
the mountebank which he seems
really to have been.

ing your performance, and did not
like to lay myself liable to the i'm
putation of rudeness."
No reply was made to this for a
minute or two, for the reason that
the two medicos were holding a
whispered consultation. One Of
them, speaking for both, said: "See
here, Dick, we understand your
game, and give in; you've got us
foul, and we agree that if you'll let
up on that internal trombone, we'll
never play on the fiddle or flute
again after you've gone to bed"
"Good enough" said /; "there
is nothing like solid argument for
convincing the reason, satisfying
the judgment and directing the un-
derstanding."
And that is the way the from
bone won in the case of Trombone

of music in a trombone if you only
know how to bring it ont, and it is
most reliable instrument in an
emergency.

A PAIR OF FAuSTS.
Historic Doubts about Them-Was

~rinter?


Macmillan's Magazine.I
The once popular delusion which
identified Faust, the magician, with
Fust or Faust, the inventor of the
art of printing on movable types,
is no longer entertained. 1t is Just
possible, however, that Faust, the
printer, may have been the father
of that Faust, professor of the
black art, around whom have crys-
talized all the most remarkable
stories that had previously been told
Of all other magicians from Zorro
aster to Simon Magus, from Theo-
philus Of Syracuse to Robert of Nor
mandy, and from Pope Sylvester
to Cornelius -Agrippa-who lived
about the same time as the Faust
endeared to us by poetry, painting
and music, and, like that person.
age, kept black dog, There is
nothing to show that Faust, the
printer, had dealings with the devil,
though he seems to have been sus-
pected of corrupt practices in that
direction. The story runs that
after perfecting his system of print
ing from independent characters,
Faust went to Paris, where his in
vention was not yet known, and
there sold as manuscript, and, of
course, at high price, copies of
the Latin bible produced by his new
and comparatively inexpensive
method. Faust intended to work
printing as a secret process, and
the sale of printed volumes at the
prices usually charged for volumes
copied out by hand would, no
doubt, speedily have enriched
him. His customers, however,
compared what they had bought;
and when it was seen that the
words and letters in the pretended
manuscripts were letter by letter,
absolutely identical in shape, it was
difficult not to conclude that the
copies had been multiplied by un-
lawful means, Thus John Faust,
in the middle of the fifteenth oen-
tury, by practicing an imposition,
ACQUIRED the character Of II wizard.
It is quite certain that John
Faust, the printer who, unable to
patent his invention, had deter-
mined TO make money out Of it by
applying it to his own private ends,
was not the Faust who, by solemn
campact and in return for certain
immediate advantages, gave him
self over to Satan. Faust, the
neeromancer-Oalling himself, ac-
cording to some authorities, George,

printers son. The period Of the
magician's activity dates from the
end of the fifteenth century and
not later than the beginning of the
sixteenth We find him installed in
the chair of magic at the Uniyer-
sity of Cracow. "They are not
great magicians now," says Paine
of contemporary Poles, in some re-
marks on fwardowski, the so-oalled
"Polish Faust" wins was doubtless
one and the same person as that
German Faust who professed sor-

the sixteenth century, if, as appears
