THE Willy WIZARD AND THE MEX
ICANs.-Taylor, the wizard, gave a
show in the theater at Paso del NOrte
the other night, in which he adver-
tised to perform the most wonderful
legerdeniain tricks. The MeXicans
turned out en- masse to witness the per-
Torrance. The receipts aggregated
about $50 or 800, and then he walked
upon the stage and addressed. the au-
dience III something like the following
style: Ladies' and gentlemen, L
appear before YOU this evening as one
of the most wonderful men now living.
l will show you trick tonight that
will make you open your eyes. 1t is
called The Mystic, Man, or the Disap-
pearance.'" Here he brought out a
large box and placed it on the stage
and then poceeded, 4" will now shut
myself up in this box and the trick is
to find me-" At this point the wizard
entered the box and closed the lid
After waiting some time the audience
became anxious to see the man and as
he did not appear they proceeded tC
examine the box, and 10 and behold
there was no man in it. The box was
so constructed that the man could es
cape from the rear and this he haC
done, taking with him, in addition t.
the funds he had collected at the door
n coat containing SIS, belonging to on
of the men connected with the theater
That was the last seen of him.

AN EMERGENCY.-A few days ago q
man with meek and humble express
sion, and wearing Summer suit of
clothes, applied to one of the railroad
passenger agents for deadhead pass TO
Toledo.
"Why do you want to go to
Toledo?"
"To get married"
"And you haven't any money!"
Not above twenty-five cents"
Hadn't you better be worth your
fare to Toledo before taking a wife on
your hands to suppOrt?"
"You don't understand the case, y
protested the man. Pm going to
marry a widow worth at least $4,000
and the first thing shall do will be tc
remit you the price Of ticket. I'm
poor and the widow knows it, but she
marries me for love-"
He protested so long and earnestly
that he was finally passed down the
road. Two days elapsed and then {
letter was received from him saying
Heaven bless you for your kind
ness! 1 reached here all right, anC

MODERN COUNTRY FAIRs.--Dr.
Buckley, in his letters to young men,
advises young farmers to beware of
the average county fairs. Time was
when they did something for agricul-
ture, when the farmer learned some
thing by going once year to the
County and state Fairs. In some
places it may be so now. But too
often little attention is paid to the
real interests of the farmer.
Agents of machines are there to rec
ommend and sell them. First and
second premiums are often got by bri-
berry, either direct or through personal
flvOritism, treating and other social in
fuences. HOrse-racing and betting on
horses eclipse everything else in pub.
lie attention. More young farmers
have got the horse-trading, horse-rac
ing and gambling spirit at these fairs
than have ever learned anything O
profit to them in legitimate farming.
Nor is this the worst of it. Many O
them are gigantic beer-shops and bar
rooms. We know of one fair at which
each year, hundreds of farmers an(
young men aud boys get drunk. Thu
sum paid for the privilege OF selling
liquor there and the revenue for horse
racing are the chief sources of revenu,
to the directors.

WORRYING THE BRITISH LIoN.-The
misty air of England is rendered thick
er with plots and suspected plots of
bloody dynamiters, alleged to be intent
upon revenging the death of O'Donnell.
The police of London are said to be
watching closely the house of Irish
nationalists. The lord mayor is said to
have received anonymous letters threa-
tening to blow up London bridge and
Newgate. Extra guards are therefore
stationed on and about the bridges to
watches the arches, examine passing
crafts and scrutenize persons crossing.
Armed policemen guard Hawarden
Castle, the residence of Mr.. Gladstone
As if England's domestic worries were
not sufficient. Paris has become the
scene of meetings at which revenge il
freely threatened. In keeping will
these dismal facts is the announcement
of an agrarian murder in county Cavan
Ireland, followed by several arrests o
suspected persons.-BaEtinaore Sun.

The Sermon of to-day and the
Coming Sermon.

The sermon of to-day carries along
with it the dead wood of the age.
Hundreds of years ago it was decided
what o sermon ought to be, and it is
the attempt of many theological semi
naries and doctors of divinity to hew
the modern pulpit utterances into the
same old-style proportions. Book
sellers Will tell you they dispose of a
hundred histories, hundred novels,
hundred poems, to one book ofsermons.
What is the matter? Some say the
age is the worst of all the ages. 1t is
better. Some say religion is wearing
out, when it is wearing in. Some say
there are so many who despise the
Christian religion. l answer, there
never was an age when there were so
many Christians, or so many friends of
Christianity, as this age has-our age
as to other a hundred to one. What is
the matter, then? tits simply because
our sermons of to-day is not suited to
the age. 1t is the canal-boat in an age
of locomotive and electric telegraph.
The sermon will have to be shaken out
of the old grooves, or it will not be heard
audit will not be read. Before the world
is converted the sermon will have to be
converted. You might as we'll go into
the modern Sedan or Gettysburg with
bows and arrows instead of rifles and
bombshells and parks of artillery as to
expect to conquer this world for God
by the old style Of sermonology. JON
athan Edwards preached the sermons
most adapted to the age in which he
lived, but if these sermons were
preached now they would divide an
audience into two classes: those SOUND
asleep, and those wanting to go home
But there is q coming sermon-whC
will preach it have no idea, in wha
part of the earth it will be born have
no idea, in which denomination o
Christians it will be delivered l canno
guess. That coming sermon may b,
born in the country Westinghouse OF

Oregon, or the Ohio, or the Tombigbee
or the Alabama. The person VIII
shall deliver it may this moment lie il
cradle under the shadows of tn
Sierra Nevadas, or in New Englan
farmhouse, or amid the rice fields {
Southern savannas. Or this momen
there may be some young man in som
of our theological seminaries, in tn
junior, or middle, or senior class, shaI
ing that weapon of power. Or ther
may be coming some new baptism (
the Holy ghost in the churches, so tn;
some of us who now stand in tt

Woman in Philadelphia.

When Governor Butler recently
took the ground that woman was
not a person under the law, he was
doubtless very much surprised to find
that he was not supported in this view
by popular sentiment as enthusiast
cally as he would like to have been.
and when the question was referred to
the courts it was discovered that a
woman was person after all.
Very much the same question is now
up before the courts of Philadelphia.
There is a woman there who labors
under the impression that she has no
right to be a drone in the busy hive
of life, and that she ought to earn her
own living. And she proposes to earn
it legitimately in pursuing the vocation
that suits her best. She has prepared
herself for the learned profession of
the law, and her proficiency has been
established by her examination and adj
AhAooAOh W DAdCItOC III OAC vi bnC Quilts
of that city. From this she comes to
the Courts of Common Pleas for admis-
sion, and there she meets the same old
question whether or not o woman is a
person. In Court No. 2, Judge Hare,
whose culture and courtliness of man
ner are proverbial, put the matter pc.
litely and delicately, but none the less
firmly, denying the woman admission
Onthe ground that he was unwilling tC
take the responsibility of violating
established precedent, that such {
thing had never been and so far as h
was concerned could never be in tn,

A FLOATING Theatre is the last in
noyation in the histrionic world pro-
posed by some enterprising New
Workers. A company has been incor-
porated, the capital being placed at
81 900, 900, to be divided up into lOO,-
600 shares. The first boat, which is to
be called the Gladiator, is to be built
on the catamaran principle, and the
structure will be supported on two
steel cylinders of 90 feet each. The
dimensions will be 276 feet in length
by 66 feet in width. The motive power
will be a compound engine of $500
horse power, while the draught will be
q feet. State-rOOm accommodation
for a company of 100 will be provided,
while the seating capacity of the the
atre itself, including parquet and two
balconies, will be for 500 people. The
parquet is to be on the front of the
vessel, taking up little more than one
third its length, and the stage will be
in the middle. The engine-rOom
state-rooms, dining-rooms and kitchen
will occupy the after part. The boat is
to be built by contract and will cost
$250,OOO. The idea is to visit such
towns as Newport, Albany, Newark
Paterson, .Stonington and Fall River
anchor alongside the dock, and give
them a first-rate performance. 1t i:
proposed to have a regular stock com
pany, who will live on the boat all the
year round. The cost of running i
will not be nearly so much as that o
managing theatre on land, and there
will be no land taxes. Later on thu
projectors propose to have boats t.
take in the Delaware and Chesapeake
bays.

Wooden ties for railways are beeom-

Wooden ties for railways are beeom-
ing more expensive every year, and
the time is coming when possibly some
substitute will have to be devised for
them. The chief engineer of the Read
ing Railroad is about to try some ex-
periments with steel ties. They would
be the same in size and shape as the
present wooden ties, except that they
would be hollow; and they would
practically last until they rusted away,
while the best oak ties last only about
eight years. Some of the advantages
claimed for the steel ties are that the
expense of maintaining the track would
be largely reduced, the road-bed would
be firmer and smoother, and trains
could run at much higher speed over
them. The wear and tear on track
and rolling stock would also be lessen
ed, because the track is smoother. For
these reasons trains could run faster
without increasing the expense proper
tionately.

Interview with the King OF Italy.

HE WANTS TO DIMINISH TAXATION, AND
WOULD LIKE TO BE A REPORTER.
The HerdlTS Rome correspondent sends
the following. under date OF yesterday:
King Umberto kindly gave the Herald cor
respondent hali-bour's private audience
at the Qu;rinal this afternoon, in the course
Of which his Majesty, with the frankness
and simplicity which have made him 30
popular, discussed various matters inter-
esing to Italy and the world.
Speaking Of tn Vatican question, his
Majesty declared mat he had the sincerest
respect for the person of the Pope, and re-
gretted deeply that reconciliation be-
tween Church and State in Italy seemed so
far distant. If the Pope were to leave
his retirement for the streets Of Rome"
said his Majesty, " feel convinced that he
would meet with the utmost deference.v
Turning ~ foreign questions, the King
assured me hat il was his only desire that
his kingdo.n should live in peace with all
men. lie hal no hatred Of France or any
! other country.
~ have no ambition save TO diminish
taxation, which is very heavy, admit"
| remarked his Majesty, " and 10 retain what
we have Won since Italy became united.
We have no selfish ambition" sad the
King, "colonial or otherwise. When a
people wishes to diminish taxation it does
not increase its expenditure. We have
made great progress. We need peace"
With regard 10 the domestic politics OF
Italy, the King expressed himself perfectly
satisfied that his Ministers are devoted and
honest and his subjects loyal. Wherever
he went the greatest respect was paid him.
In a l.
he seemed to take lively interest, he ex-
pressed much admiration for the enterprise
OF the New York press, especially the
Herald. This led to some talk about the
expeditions to the North Pole, the discoy-
cry Of which his Majesty was content to
leave to tie next generation.
Ills Maiesiy, after few more courteous
phrases about the Herald, rose and shook
hands heartily, saying in French, Just be-
fore parting, "Were / not king l should
wish to see the world as a reporter"

The Pittsburgh Dispatch follows the lead
of the World in approving Cameron's APP
pointment Of negroes as trustees OF our
white schools. We warn the entire press
OF the North that they are venturing on the
most dangerous ground, full OF quicksands
and quagmres, that they ever trod, and
the sooner they get ont of it and let us

better for the whole country. Slate.
The World says that the question is
whether the negro is qualified for the posi-
ton or not. That is the question; but not
in the sense in which Mr.. PULITZER uses
the words. The white men OF Virginia
claim that a negro is disqualified by the
fact that he is negro for being the trustee
of white schools; for electing or rejecting
white lady-teachers; and consequently for
all the duties Of the Office.
