4 WONDERFUL PIECE OF MECHANISM
london Correspondent N. z. WORLDLY

london Correspondent N. z Worldly
Perhaps some of your readers will ask, Who
is Mr.. Maskeleynef He is man who has made a
fortune by inventing little mechanical figure,
an exact representation of which (sliGhtly
caricatured) appears in Punch. Mr. Maske
leyne's dummy is dressed up like Turk, has q
glass pillar beneath him, and when you have
walked all around him aud seen that no wires
connect him with an electrical or any other
apparatus, the Turk plays hand in game of
wbist-three persons from the audience play
ing the other hands. Mr. Maskeleyne merely
calls out each card as it is laid upon the table.
The Turk draws his card from little stand
where his thirteen are arranged in front of
him, and M. Maskeleyne takes it and puts it
on the others. l went to see the prodigy the
other day, and as all the scientific men in Lon
don have been there, Mr.. Maskeleyne has af-
fOrded them every facility for making a thor
ough examination of the figure, and as none of
them have discovered the secret, need not tell
you that am quite in the dark respecting it.
The figure is completely isolated from curtains
aud machinery, electricity could not be en-
ployed, and any of the audience may pass q
cane or umbrella beneath or round about il, or
exercise it in any way. 1t is certainly q won
derful piece of mechanism-for mechanism Mr..
Maskeleyne tells you distinctly it Island he
challenges all the world to find ont how it is
made, or by what means it is worked. l may
add as a curious fact that the Spiritualists
assert that Mr.. Maskeleyne is himself me-
dunn" of uncommon powers, but that he
chooses to deny it, and finds it more profitable
to ascribe the wonderful actions of his Psyche"
Gas the figure is called) to merely natural
CAUSES. Mr.. Msskeleyne himself declares that
he ID sworn foe to Spiri tualism, and that he
will never rest until he has covered all its dis
ciples with shame and confusion. In the mean
time he has found it necessary to give two per-
formances every day; eli the town flock to
them, and it is necessary to secure seats a fort.
night beforehand. l declare am at loss to
know whether it is more profitable to be me-
dunn or only an exposer of mediums. Both
pursuits pay much better than hard work.

WASHINGTON.

President Grant on Monday vetoed the bill
which the senate and house had passed, re
ducing the salary Of the president, after the
present term, to $4,000 year. He says h
was unable to live on less than $4,000 a year
and he thinks it would be unfair to ask any
other president to get along on less sum
doubtless if our presidents are to be estima
ted at what they are worth in money, it woulC
be the height folly to take a cheaper presi
dent than Grant.
The President finally on Wednesday so
time to sign the silver bill, and on Thursday
the t. 5. Treasury began to redeem posta
currency in that coin. Sub.treaSurleS are no
TO redeem in sums of over 500 at at a time
but parties sending their currency to the
treasury, and paying express charges po'H
ways, can have silver for all the postals they
send.

agreed to-, and so the session ended. On
Wednesday the "court" was re-opened, when
the managers on the part of the house pre-
sented their answer to Belknap's plea. Mr.
Carpenter asked for copy of IT. which was
given him, with time until next Monday &c

Monday
Bristow got his mad up the other day al
Barney Caulfelds committee investigating
the conceptions in the department Of justice
because the committee had heard the story o.
one BARLEY, to the effect that when Bristow was
assistant attorney general he caused lot o
Kentucky distillers to be seized for crooked
ness, and then, having resigned and become thu
attorney for the distilers he had had thu
suits dismissed, and has allowed no suits to
be commenced against them since then
though said Kentucky distillers are as crook
cd as any others. Bristow's rage arose from
the fact that Caulfeld hadn't informed hin
of this evidence and invited Bristow to come
before the committee and defend himself
Barney replied on Thursday to Bristow
showing that he had been invited to appear
before the committee but neglected to do so
and invites him again to come.
