Who Will Build u.

1t was rlmored in this city yesterday,
among our builders and number ofpro-
minent citizens, that X. }. Dobbins, the
great builder and contractor of Philadel'
phia, had prepared and handed into the
Building Committee of the Levy Court
bis estimate for erecting the new Court
House. 1t was further asserted that Mr.
Dobbins is a particular friend of Mr.
Chandler, the architect, and that his in
fiuence will be brought to bear upon the
committee of Levy Court in awarding
the contract. 1t is said that Mr.. Dob
bins will receive the contract for erecting
the new pulp works for the Jessup &
Moore Paper Company, on the north
side of the Brandywine, and in view Of
that fact he will use ms utmost endeav-
ors to get the contract for the county
buildings. Mr.. Dobbins is a man OF
large experience in building, having
erected the Main building at the &c item
nial. The rumor may, however, in re-
gard to the buildings be incorrect.

Some of the tricks in ''Parlor Magic"
printed In juvenile publications are very
amusing as well as very simple. "The
Enchanted Pin" for instance. To per-
form this trick you take common brass
pin, such as man sometimes uses to
fasten his shirt collar when rear button
flies of. To satisfy your audience that
the pin does not contain false bottom,
let them have II in their hands TO inspect
This will convince them that there Is no
deception about IL. Now bend the pin
in two places-lst, about one-third from
the head, and I'd, the same distance from
the poiut--so that the business end will
project upwards. Again show the pin to
your audience, IN order 10 satisfy them
that 1t is the same pin, only bent-bent
on mischief. Now place the pin on a
hard bottomed chair, and when a late
visitor enters, invite him 10 sit upon the
chair. The effect will be magical. II
the ceiling is not more than len feet from
the floor, the probabilities are that the
man will arise SO spontaneously that his
head will make u dent In il. This limo
cent little trick never fails 10 amuse al
audience, and If such amusements re
ceived more encouragement in the do
nestle circle, there would be fewer poemi
written, asking "Where is My Boy T,
