One Of Houdin's Trfcka.

Inc great Robert Houdin went h
icyai command to st. Cloud. a. he re.
lates IN his "Confidences." TO r;ra q
snow before Louis Philippe and his
family. In the course of this show he
borrowed six handkerchicfs from the
nudlence. Then various members OF
the audiedce wrote down on slips OF
paper the names of places whittier they
would like the handkerchief to he
transported. This done the coniurer
asked the King to chose three of these
slips at random, and from the three to
select the place he referred. "Come. /"
SAID Louis Philippe, "let us see what
Is on this slip. l should like them to
De found under one of the candlesticks ks

should like them to be found on the
dome of the Invalides." That is too
far-not for the handkerchiefs. but for
Us. All! You will, fear, find it diff
nctut to comply with the last request
on the slips!" The request was that
the handkerchiefs should be found in
the box of the last orange tree on the
night hand of the avenue on St. Cloud.
Inc conJurer expressed his readiness to
comply with the request, and the King
immediately sent of o party of men to
keep guard over the orange tree. The
conjurer put the hanlkerchiefs under
. bell OF thick Glass, waved his hand.
took up the bell and showed q white
dove in place of the handkerchiefs.
Then the King, with q sceptical smile.
sent orders to the heod gardener to
open the box of the orange tree chosen.
and to ring whatever lie might find
there. This was done and presently
there was brought in an iron eoffer
covered with rust. WELL" cried the
King, "here We have 4 Golfer! Are the
handkerchiefs in it,"
"Yes, sire," replied Robert Houdin:
they have been there long time" "A
long time, when it is only q quarter of
an hour since they were given to you2
What, sir, would be the use of magic
It it could not perform impossible feafs2
Your Majesty will be surprised when
prove to you that the Golfer and its
contents have been in the orange tree
box for sixty years." The King now
observed that . key WAS needed to
open the box, and Robert Houdin asked
him to take the key which was hung BY
. ribbon round the white doves neck
This was . key as rusty - the Golfer
which it opened; and the first thing
found in the Golfer was . parchment
bearing these words: To-day, June
9Th. 1856. this iron Golfer, holding nix
handkerchiefs, has been placed amid
the roots Of IN orange tree by me, Bal
samo, Count Of Cagliostro, to aid the
accomplishment Of the magical feat
which will be done this day sixty years
before Louis Philippe or Orleans and
his family" Below the parchment,

known to the King. was . packet, and
IN the packet were the six borrowed
