The Wizard OatWitted.

At the hotel in Dover, on Thursday
night, a gentleman from Baltimore was
entertaing a crowd Of men who had a
rather rural appearance about them,
with what is known as tricks in sleight-
of-hand. The crowd watched him with
eagerness place silver pieces in the
palm of his hand and cause the same to
disappear without any apparent action
on his part. Glasses were emptied and
filed with water as though by spirit
hands, the clock swayed to and fro on
its fastenings, and other feats equally
as remarkable were performed. Finally
of the crowd, a man named Potter,
with his breeches tucked in his boots,
sided up and asked for the watch of
the man of tricks, for the purpose OF
showing him q trick that was worth
two of his own. The article was hand
ed over. He showed it into his trousers
between the waist-band, and then told
the Baltimore gentleman that he could
not find it, and he was as good as his
word, for up to q late hour yesterday
afternoon the watch, a fine gold hunt
ing-case, had not been found, although
the man was stripped five minutes after
the occurrence. Esquire Dickson held
the offender to bail in the sum of $500,
but it is certainly a mystery what be-
came Of the watch, and more SO to the
man who was beaten at his own game
than any body else.-WtlnSngton EVery

Precious Stones as Playthings.

African Diamond Fields, tells this sto-
y A traveller named O'Reilly stop
ped at a Doors house. He found the
children playing with a pebble that
looked like a diamond. He bought it
for a trife, the Boor saying that it was
a diamond, they could get plenty more,
and took it away. He sold it at the
Cape for $4,000. He bought another
from a negro, which he sold for $685.
900, and then the natives began to
search for these stones where they had
previously seen them, the white men
heard of their success, and then the
rush began. One mine after another,
all in the same neighborhood, was
found, and round each mine a city
sprung up. The last, and that which
is the center of the diamond trade, is
Kimberly. This city has 10000 popu-
lation, i've churches, two theaters,
banks, hotels and other buildings.

Death Of q New York Merchant from
Hydr0ph0bia.

About six weeks ago the maid servant
in the employ of the family of Nathan
iel III. Loomis, at 1863 Madison Street,
Brooklyn, found a little dog huddled
against the window sill. 1t snapped at
her. She called Mr.. Loomis, and the
dog bit him through the hand. The
dog showed symptoms of hyd-ophobia.
Mr.. Loomis's wound was cauterized.
He is of E. p. & N. H. Loomis, pro-
duce merchants of this city. On Tues
day last, after he had sent his trunks
to a Bermuda steamship, on which he
expected 10 sail on Wednesday, he be-
gan to feel i'll. On Wednesday morn-
ing he was feverish, and felt such pains
in his head that he concluded not to 90.
He sent for DR.. Elindorf, who found
him suffering of a swollen throat, and
unable to swallow. He told the ply
stefan that he had been bitten by a mad
dog, and that he thought he was seized
with hydrophobia. The physician
tried to allay his excitement by saying
that his illness might be from another
cause, and the hope he gave his patient
seemed to have a good effect. 81 had
heard" said the doctor last night to a
reporter, :" of the danger of exciting a
patients fears in such a condition, and
I treasured him all that I could, and I
was pleased with the result" He ad-
m%inistered camphor pills and BELLA
donna and made hypodermic injections
of chloroform and morphine. The re-
suit of the treatment was to quiet the
patient in the afternoon SO that he
could eat cracked ice, ice-cream, and
molasses candy. On Thursday he had
every symptom of hydrophobia except
commissions. He began to utter a
barking sound. He foamed at the
mouth, his eyes assumed a'glassy ap-
pearance, and his face burned with
fever. He kept his bed without being
held there, his only violent act being
an occasional severe tremor of the
body, in which he partly raised him
self from the pillow. He fingered in
agony until half past 8 O'Clock yester-
day morning and then died. He was
conscious almost to the last, and died
easily. The dog was a mongrel.-New
