ROBERT HOUDIN.
Some Of the Wonderful Feats OF the
Great French Wizard.

The most famous of magicians was the
late Robert Houdin. He was never ex-
celled, and seldom equalled, in his call
ing. He was well declared to be the
prince Of coniurers, for he elevated his
profession, and was an able mathemati-
clan and mechanician.
His ingenuity was unlimited, and it
was absolutely impossible to detect the
secret of his innumerable tricks ard per-
formances. Without the least assistance
he would hold an audience in delight
and amazement for hours, everything
being done with graceful facility which
showed that Houdin absolutely enjoyed
his business, he taught his own son
many of his original tricks, but never
impaired them to others, while the Sc
cret of the most remarkable perform
ances has died with their master, and no
one can ever hope to reproduce them.
Probably the first instance in which a
conjuror has been called upon to exer
else his profession in Government en-
ploy was that of Robert Houdin. He
was sent to Algeria by the French Min
lister of Foreign Affairs to exercise the
black art in that benighted country,
hoping thus to destroy the influence ex-
ercised among the Arabs by the Mara
bouts-an influence which was often
mischievously applied. By few cum
ming, yet clumsy tricks, these Marabouts
passed themselves off as sorcerers, and
were held in fear and veneration by the
ignorant tribes. The French Govern
ment desired to show the Arabs that
these would-be-leaders among them
were mere impostors, and that their
pretended supernatural powers were
without the least foundation in truth.
The best way to do this, it was thought,
would be to send one among them who
should eclipse their skill, and thus dis
credit their science and pretended pow
ers. 1t was resolved to send Robert
Houdin, and the wizard was ordered to
sppear at the Government Office in Paris
forthwith.
Houdin was little puzzled to know
what the minister could want with him.
The plan and purpose Of the Govern
ment were made known to him, and he
entered with spirit into the idea and Its
successful application. With every IA
cility and all needed protection, Houdin
sailed for Algeria to astonish the natives.
Arriving under favorable auspices, he
went at once to work upon the object of
his mission, and gaping crowds followed
him everywhere, thinking him inspired.
He succeed in showing the people that
he could vanquish the famous prophets,
who had obtained such control over the
ignorant masses Of the population, and
thus threw them into such discredit that
he succeeded in disarming them almost
entirely of their influence.
Still, there was one Of the Marabouts
whom he had not yet met, and who scof
ed at the reported powers of this French
wizard. a day was therefore appointed
when the two should appear before the
people, and each give evidence Of his
own peculiar powers.
One of the great pretensions of the
Marabout was to invulnerabiIity. At
the moment that loaded musket was
pointed at him and the trigger pulled he
pronounced few cabalistic words, and
