NOTES AND QUERIES.

he c led himself Quite claver, he vas too
ana ais pet trick was breaking eggs in his ha
and hauling thence smoking mass Of magic
cookery. Some years after he had quit the
business, and had entered one Of the liberia
professions, he attended convention in the
character Of member of the same, and being
something Of talker he occupied the aoo1
somewhat oftener and longer than was pleas
ant to the other side And so it happened
that peert young fellow of the opposition
who possessed a previous knowledge of our
heros business rose to his feet and address
ing the chairman, begged to know if it would
be entirely agreeable to DIR. So-and-so, af-
ter he had got through addressing the Conven-
ton, to favor the members present by
making pudd'n in his hat Great was the
confusion which followed and indignant the
protest of the retired Fakir that his old trade
should thus irrelevantly be cast in his teeth,
as it were. But if any reader of the Morn
ING APPEAL is SO incredulous as not to believe
that Mr., MacaIlister can make pudding

doughnuts in his watch case and never in ure

pillow case or make q tree grow, right under
the eyes OF the audience from a seed just
planted in fower-pot or do any other ex-
traordiuary thing in the juggler-line, that
reader should suffer his incredulity to be
cured by the actual ocular and occult proof.

designed for Doctor-and he is better than
g novice at bolus or fermentation even
now; but while he has developed very de-
cided talent in treating ruptured streets and
removing the cutaneous eruptions from back
alleys and reducing dislocations of njured
cuiverts and setting fractures on damaged
sidewalks, his strong suit, his greatest gift, is
in crying the pubic vendue of a stray mule |
or a vagaboud cow. Yesterday was a grand
opportunity-a field day for the Doctors |
genius. He had impounded an old white COW
and the time was come for the selling of
her. We dislike to have a good thing
al alone - we enjoy 1t better if
there is an appreciative friend at hand to
OF letting his vest fly open, spraddling his
legs, gesticulating with his cane and cooking
his hat on one side of his head when he talks
in public. All these peculiar manifestations
we're greatly intensified yesterday-also the
Doctors voice WIS free from constitutional
huskiness as heel aculated the slow-coming bids
made by the little crowd The virtues of
that COW, the quality of her milk, the regu-
larity with which she came to be relieved of
her tactical secretions, her amiable disposition,
her evident high pedigree, her favorable age,
au these things and many more he uttered
with an eloquence and pathos which were
at once persuasive ana affecting, 1t even
affected the COW herself, and she was more
than once seen to whisk away & tear with the d
dextrous flirting of her bushy tail We did not
stop long enough to hear who was the happy
purchaser of this fortunate COW, but we are
convinced that she must have brought ,
handsome price-elsewise the full inspiration c
and poetry OF auction selling are IN vain. 49,.
