THE mYBTIC MAN.
A Trick That Made the Audience

Ell PAso Times

Last Sunday night man, claiming
to be Taylor, the Wizard" gave a
show in the theater building in Paso
del Norte, 10 which he advertised 10
perform the most wonderful legerde-
main tricks, and also to give some
magic lantern views. He had adyer-
tised:his busihess'well and thoroughly,
and the result was the Mexieans
turned out en- masse TO witness the
performance. The man stood at the
door and took the checks which the
uAsuspecting Mexicans dropped
into bis little boz, IN
iii the receipts aggregated
about eighty or ninety dollars, and
then he walked upon the stage and
addressed the audience 10 something
like the following style: Ladies and
gentlemen, / appear before you this
evening as one OF the most wonderful
men now living. | will show you a
trick tonight that will make you
open your eyes aud wonder how such
things can be. Before / begin my
performance | will show you trick
that has caused my name to be known
oil over the land. II is called The
Mystic Man; or, the Disappearance. =
Here he brought Outa large box and
placed it on the stage and then pro
ceeded, II will now shut myself up in
this box and the trick is to find
NE. " AT this point the wizard en-
tered the box and closed the lid. Al
ter waiting some time the audience be
came anxious TO see the man, and as
he did not appear, they proceeded TO
examine the box. and 10 and behold
there was no man in IL The box was
so constructed that the man could es

the ease 10 remarkably clear and
Eoreibls way.
Our belief Is that polygamy will
not be exterminated among the Nor.
mons until the Christian church con
verts them or they ere delivered over
to military government. But the
Christian church does not seem 70
make much Roadway in missionary
work among them-they send out
"a hundred missionaries 70
convert Christians for every
one lthe Christians dispatch 10 COO
vert them; and there are constitn-
tionsl difficulties in the way Of q
strictly military government which it
would require q great deal OF acute
ness on tho part Of Congress 10 sur
mount. Ii was a SAD blunder on the
part Of President Buchanans admin
istration in 1857 aud 1858. when the
MOrmons from being mere nullifers
became armed rebels, that the Oppor-
tunity was not then improved to de
molish their system or expatiate
them. They were willing to emierate
to New Guinea at that Cine, II The
Federal government would have fur
nished transportation aud paid them
some cash in hand for the improve
ments they had put on Federal lands.
That would have been cheap method
Of getting rid Of them, The trouble
was that to several prominent
members OF the administration,
and particularly Mr.. Floyd,
the Secretary Of War, the chief pur'
pose Of the military expedition then
sent to Utah was the facilities il az
forded for profitable army contracts
and not the facilities for the suppress
sion of MOrmonism.
We hope that the Republican
party, after its quarter OF eeptury's
