paid $50; said he was beautifully mark
ed, but unfortIn ately he was caught in
heavy shower the day after he bought
him, when presto. he was changed into
an ordinary eur, the spots having been
ingeniously painted upon him. He
went to the man from whom he had
purchased him. He acknowledged the
sale, but said his clerk had forgotten to
send the umbrella. which always went
with the dog, as he could not stand the
rain He closed the entertainment by
giving specimens of legerdemain. His
greatest trick. he said, had never been
equaled in this country or any other.
So viii give it. He broke soda
cracker into three pieces, asked some
one in the audience to mark them, SO
they could be readily identified. Then
he asked for three hats. and placed a
piece under each hat. Then, once more
asking the gentlemen if they were sure
they would recognize the pieces again,
he deliberately ate each piece. '.Now,
ladies and gentlemen, the most wonder
full part OF the feat appears. Twill place
all three of these pieces Of cracker UNI
der one hat if You will choose which
hat it shall be- The hat was imme-
diately chosen Mr.. Barnum instantly
placed it on his head. and said: THE
three pieces of cracker are all under the
hat" No one could gainsay it, SO he
closed mid shouts of laughter. Louis
