The trick known as the "basket trick, :"
which Mr.. Heller introduces as the last
features Of his performance ut the Won
der Theater, excites a good deal of sur
prise, rs it is only natural it should.
The conditions of the trick are simply as
fellows: A large basket is brought out
aud placed in full view upon a bench
supported on four primitive wooden
legs, and leaving an open space between
the basket and the floor. There seems
no possible way by which human being
once in could get out of that basket
without being seen. The basket placed
by Mr.. heller and his assistant, Mr..
Heller next brings forward pair of
overalls which cover him to the neck,
and which have no outlet at the ends of
the sleeves or legs. When the overalls
are drawn on and hood drawn over
Mr.. Heller's head and attached TO the
main garment by strings, there remains
no outlet for so much as finger of the
performer to get through. But as Mr..
Heller is about to remove his coat for
the purpose of DOMINIC his garment he
remembers that he is In New York in
stead of -Australia--that is his carelessly-
cAthet0 tACdoO oild ~ GtAtCny
reaches up to the performers neck, is
placed behind the basket, and the per-
former retires behind this and effects
the change. So far as one notices, his
head does not once disappear during the
time he is employed in drawing ON the
overalls. The last vision one has is OF
Mr.. Heller's own face disappearing In
the ample hood, and Immediately he
steps ont from behind the screen, and,
with the help of an assistant, climbs into
the basket, the lid of which is closed
upon him and locked. AS far as the hui
man eye can discover this is Mr.. Heller
who has just gone into the basket, but
in the same instant-almost before the
cover is down-Mr. Heller makes his
appearance in ordinary evening costume
ut the entrance OF the theater, and walks
down the ais e, inquiring "what was
being done with him." He Immediately
aseeEds the platform, opens the basket,
and nobody is within. The question is
still an open one. How did Mr.. Heller
cease to be the man in the basket, and,
whoever the man in the basket was,
how did he get out 2-NeW York World.

A CITY Paved with Gold and Silver.

Reference has been frequently made
in these columns to the fact that 1T this
city was not the New Jerusalem Its
streets were of least paved with gold and
silver. Previous to the recent macadam-
izing of G street curious persons, at one
time and another, had assays made OF
tie mud that abounded there. None of
these assays were less than 81, and one
of them went as high as S11.58 per to1.
The latter assay was made from the mud
which was clinging to buggy wheel
when the vehicle stopped in front of the
California Bank.
Recently G street has been macadam-
lied with quartz taken from the Andes
and old Ophir dumps of waste rock.
The old mud having been taken off the
street, fifty two feet in width was filed
sixteen inches deep in the center and
four inches at the edges with this waste
quartz. The whole distance from SUIT
ton avenue, whero the work ends on the
north, to the Gold Hill line, where il is
to stop, is abo1t mile. There will be
place from the Fourth ward school
house to the top of the Divide which
will not receive the rock. This will
leave little over 5000 feet which is
and is to be macadamized. BY far the
greater portion of the work is already
done. TO fill the street for this distance
with rock will take at least 16, 1861 tons.
Some pieces of this fill are rich in both
silver and gold. Experts place the value
of the whole at from SO to $40 per ton.
Taking the lesser estimate as an average,
and there is now on and to be placed on
G street not less than s133, 1881 in gold
and silver. = Virginia (Neu.) Enter

Silver Currency.

M. Henri Cernuschi, the wealthy
French author and politician and chief
bi-mctallist missionary of Europe, ar
rived in this country on Saturday. He
will make visit of several months, and
comes to propagate his economical views
on the silver question. To rescue his
old friend silver from suspicion and
menace, he has visited every capital of
Europe; for he is cosmopolitan enough
to be able to chat in friendly way with
Bismarck and sAndrassy in their own
language, and one may feel assured he
must be an extraordinary Frenchman
who has the amiabilitv just now, and the
linguistic ability at any time, to do that.
He firmly believes that the return of the
United States TO specie payments viii
depend on the preservation of the silver
currency In Europe. For the United
States to resume specie payments, VI
Cernuschi says they must give the sill, Ell
dollar the same value as the gold, accept
silver at custom houses, aud be able Il
pay European bondholders in silver dol
lars. But first Europe must become bi
metallic, else European creditors would
suffer serious losses by receiving in
convertible dollars. He also insists tina

instrument is to be used in the Liszt
