Chinese MAGIC.

A gentleman who has lived among
the Chinese tells, as an illustration OF
their abilities as magicians, an incident
that took place under his own eyes,
and in his own room, where, apparent
", there was no room for deception.
The magician was naked from the
waist upward, and his magical instru-
ment seemed to be a piece of white
cloth twisted about his loins. Taking
a dish of uncooked rice, the jugglef
covered it with his mysterious S:rdIe,
squatted before it and began his incan-
tations, which continued half an hour.
During this process his bare arms were
passing to and fro beneath the cloth,
and this was all the gentleman could
see him do. At last the linen was re-
filled with cooked edibles of various
kinds, while dish of boiled rice
had replaced the one containing raw
rice.
Another gentleman, describing how
he was deluded. says: "a juggler in
the open street seized boy or 6 years
Of age, dragged him struggling into
the circle, threw him on his back, and,
in spite of the boys agonized cries and
the remonstrances of the people, APP
parently nearly decapitated him. The
Tietim gradually became motionless,
while tie blood streamed from the
wound. Finally the magician removed
the knife, muttered few words, called
aloud to the child, who soon showed
signs of life, and at last raised him to
his feet, when the boy appeared I'M
harmed. Both actors in this strange
scene were literally rewarded by the
crowd, and the boy ran off to play with
his wondering companions.

Cards in an Odd Plaza


"Clubs are trumps!" That is what
/ heard in war time, in the luu between
two battles, away down in Chattanooga.
1t was an old southern cemetery. 1t
was December day; the roses were
not gone, and butterflies. the symbols
of Immortality, were slowly opening
and closing their large wings in the
last warm sunshine of the year. l
looked around, but nobody was in
sight. All was still. Again there came
voice. The ace of hearts takes the
trickr' At last | saw, little way off
a vault. Three steps led down to it,
and the door was ajar Descending
the broken stairs, put hand on the
unwilling door. 1t yielded, and a
curious interior was revealed. 1t was
o little room, dimly lighted, whose
only furniture consisted of collins, and
around one of them that rested upon
trestles were three soldiers. There were
only four sound arms and five legs to
divide among them. They had pulled
two collins from the wall to serve as
seats, and they were in the midst of q
game of cards. They looked up an
instant and went on with the deal and
the play. Nothing equals the nonchal-
ance of veterans at the front, where the
hum Of bullets is as familiar as the hum
of bees among the clover. l looked on
a while, and then stepped up and out
into the free air. Near me was small
marble lamb lying upon slab, mean
ing:
There is no flock, however watched and tended
But one dead lamb is there.
1t had lost an ear by a bullet, and
one of its feet was carried clean away.
SO far it did not matter much, as it had
no possible use for the three that were
left it. Some idle musket, for want OF
higher game, had made target of it.
TIE whole scene set off most strikingly
the quiet reverence for the dead of fifty
wears ago.-MdnbGttan.

Such a Nice Man!

Coming down the river from the
Flats the other day was man about
55 years old, neatly dressed. white plug
hat, kid gloves, and appeared to be q
real nice man. As he was alone, some
took him for widewer, while others
argued that he had been disappointed
in love in his early days and had never
married. But he was nice. He chuckied
to the babies, patted boys and girls on
the head, and sat down among the
ladies and related all the Indian legends
of Lake st. Clair Ever so many of
them said he was the incest gentleman
they ever saw, and one of the little wo-
men who turned up her nose at the idea
of his being too sweet for anything
was promptly wilted by a score of
glances.
When the boat arrived at Detroit the
nice man with the white plug hat agreed
to see lady and two children over to
the Central Depot. Oh, no; it wouldn't
be the least trouble TO him. On the
contrary, he was delighted at the priv
ilege. He had satchel in either hand,
and was in the crowd waiting for the
gang-plank when woman's voice was
heard crying from the wharf:
s.Yes, that's him-that's the miser-
able old deceiveri"
The nice man suddenly dropped both
satchels, and tried to push back; but the
crowd was so dense that he was pushed
along up the plank. He had no sooner
reached the wharf than his white hat
went sailing, and voice Kissed out:
''Had to 90 to Pontiac ON business,
did you? This is the way to return from
Pontiac, is it?''
He dropped the satchels again and
broke for the street, but she hit him
whack! whack! whack! with the UNI
brella, and called after him:
Its the first time you've had on
gloves in year, and you've got your
whiskers dyed since morning! Oh! you
base old deceiver! Here the children

Man a Part of Nature,

Perhaps shall begin at the utmost
limits of my subject by remarking that
in matters of natural and physical
science we are met at the outset with
the scarcely solved question IS to our
own place in the nature which we study,
and the bearing of this on the difficult
les we encounter. The organism of
man is decidedly part of nature We
place ourselves, in this aspect, in the
sub-kingdom vertebrate, and class
mammalia, and recognize the fact that
man is the terminal link in chain of
being, extending throughout geological
time. But the organism is not all of
man, and, when we regard man as sci
entific animal, we raise new question.
1t the human mind is part of nature.
then it is subject to natural law; and ma
ture includes mind as well as matter.
On the other hand, without being abso-
lutte idealists, we may hold that mind is
more potent than matter, and nearer to
the real essence of things. Our science
is in any case necessarily dualistic, be-
ing the product of the reaction of mind
on nature, and must be largely subject
i've and anthropomorphic. Hence, no
doubt, arise much Of the controversy of
science and much of the unsolved diff
Guilty. We recognize this when we di-
vide science into that which is expert
mental, or depends on apparatus, and
that which is observational and CLASH
ficatory- distinctions, these, which re-
late not so much to the objects of science
as to our methods of pursuing them.
This view also opens up TO us the thought
that the domain of science is practically
boundless; for who can set limits to the
action of the mind on the universe, or
OF the universe on mind? 1t follows
that science must be limited on all sides
by unsolved mysteries; and it will not
serve any good purpose to meet these
with clever guesses. If we so treat the
enigmas of the sphinx Nature, we shall
surely be devoured. Nor, on the other
hand. must we collapse into absolute
despair, and resign ourselves to the con-
fession of inevitable ignorance 1t be-
comes US rather boldly to confront the
unsolved questions of Nature, and to
wre5tle with their difficulties till we
mas ier such as we can, and cheerfully
leave those we can not overcome to ba
grappled with by our successors.-

Sidney Laniers Flute.

ut was at Point Lookout, twenty
years ago, that made the acquaintance
of Sidney Lanier We were in the Con
federate service and both, though run.
ming at different times, had been cap
tured at sea by blockade boat. was
the first to encounter my fate. and had
been already some time 8 prisoner wher
he was brought in.
ut was 81 trying time, the midsum-
mer season. and the long yellow days,
as one poor fellow termed them, made
the hospitals full and death rates appal
ling Late one evening | heard from
our tent the clear, sweet notes of q
flute in the distance, and 1 was told
that the player was young man from
Georgia, who had just come among u.s.
| forthwith fastened to find him out,
and from that hour the flute of Sidney
Lanier was our daily delight. 1t was
an angel imprisoned with us to cheer
and console us.
'Well | remember his improvisations,
and how the young artist stood there
in the twilight Git was his custom tc
stand while he played) breathing what
seems to me now the first dream of his
wonderful Marsh Hymns Many a
stern eye moistened 10 hear him, many
home-8ick heart for time forgot its
captivity. The night sky, clear as Q
dewdrop above US, the waters of the
Chesapeake far to the east, the long
gray beach and the distant pines, SEEM
ed all to have found an interpreter in
him.
" His heart found neighbors in great hills ant
And streams and clouds and suns and birds
and bees,
And throbbed with neighbor-loves in loving
these
s.His music embodied the charm of
his verse. the same deep, wave like,
passionate swell of the long, full lines.
His Magic Flute was his soul mouth
piece for many year before he wrote
poetry. In all those dreary months OF
Imprisonment, under the keenest priva-
tions of life, exposed to the daily mani
festations of want and depravity, sick
ness and death, his was the clear-heart-
ed, hopeful voice that sung what he
uttered in after years:
"'Sweet friends,
Mans love ascends
To finer and diviner ends
Than mans mere thought e'er compre
hends.'
1--WE lived as fellow prisoners for
more than six months and at the end of
that time were exchanged together. The
boat that brought US to Aiken's Land
ing was delayed for some time before
reaching the wharf. While we were
very impatiently waiting a steamer
from Richmond came alongside, and
some one called out to man on our
deck to enquire if Sidney Lanier was on
board. The flute had betrayed its dear
master again; but this time it told of
captive release, and never were tidings
more joyfully hailed. Observer.

Not Taken From the Census Renor

In New York and Brooklyn there are
100000 young men and 200,001 young
ladies. Each young man has from four
to six girls and every young lady ha.
from four to six reliable young men.
In the combined cities is a population
OF 1000, 900 sweethearts and 1000, OOC
beaux. The social relations of so vast
a number must be. highly complicated.
The expense of chivalric attention to
the 10000 maidens is at all times
large, since the cost falls on 200. 900
youths, instead of five times that mum.
