An.nE rEnroH,mEn.

Last evening Il large number of gentlemen
had the good fortune to be present at a little
private seance at the Crescent Halls given by
that wonderful parlor necromancer, Prof j.
?. Obon, Of Oakland California, who hap
pened down here to enjoy the Carnival.
To those who have had the good fortune to
witness one of his tricks little need be said
For his wonderful deception Of the eye, for
his incredible rapidity of motion neither Her
mann nor McAllster can approach him.
What he does he does within foot from you,
and the imagination is left to wonder how it
was SO done. The professor entertains only
in parlors, and on every Tuesday and Thurs
day delights the guests Of San Carlos in the

AN INFAMOUS LAW.

Henry Geale was tried yesterday before
Recorder Smith on the charge 81 violating
act No. 9 Of 1874, relative to lotteries That
is, he was accused under the law Of betting
against the Lottery Company. After bearing
the testimony the accused was sent to the
Parish Prison for five days, in default of pay
ing fine Of twenty-five dollars. This is
case from which there is no appeal;
the law, Infamous as it is, is
supreme, and the Judge has no discretion
in giving sentence according to it. Mr.
Geale, therefore, now lies in the Parish Prison,
legally immured under an unconstitutional
and infamous law, the companion of felons,
burglars and assassins, because he has made
bet against the Louisiana Lottery Company.
Will our legislators permit this, and will the
people stand it? "Senatus hoe uidet, populus
inteLigit, hic tdnaen Uiuaf-.'The Senate sees,
