corner facing the audience. The head
talked and was obviously alive. but
there was no possibility Of its being
connected with a body because the top
of the table was not one and hall
inches thick, and was entirely clear
underneath. On tho third night,
having exhausted all my theories, !
threw a putty ball from flower |
carried with me in the direction
Of the table. and finding it
lodged in the air, soon discovered
that the table had a looking.glass be-
tween each leg, the magician being care
full never to be caught in the reflection,
and that there Was no reflection OF the
surroundings. The Same way a little
investigation always proves that the

Dealers in paper stock often make re-
markable finds among the rags and
waste paper in which they deal. Rare
books are frequently found, letters and
deeds of.vslue, and even in one instance
large stuffed alligator.
Mr.. John c. Stockwell, whoinyented
tbe very familiar sign reading o 10,
Highest Cash Prices Paid, ETC., informed
a reporter that he has frequently found
letters from Presidents Of the United
States and prominent politicians in his
stock.

country. twas in relation to an affair
in which be and great editor were in
volyed. | would not like to divulge
their NAMES. Another remarkable find
was the parchment deed for a whole
town near Troy, signed by the Indians.
But perhaps my most valuable discoV-
cry was the written records of the first
Continental Congress in the handwriting
of Robert Morris and George Thomp-
son. They are now in the library at
Washington. Rare books are found
so often that little notice Is
taken of it. have found the first
edition ,oi the History of New Jersey,
rare editions Of Cotton Mather's works,
and Poor Richards Almanac, published
by Benjamin Franklin during his early
history. 1t seems strange that SO
many curiosiiies Of real value should
be allowed to find their way here, but
they come from the most enlightened
people. Why, just look at the case Of
the finding Of Madame jerome Bona
parties letters to her father, Mr..
Patterson. Of Baltimore. His daugh-
ter, by her romantic marriage, be-
came beauty, wit, and queen
in the first aristocratic circles in
Europe, and yet it does not appear
that her letters written to her father
were very much valued. For years they
remained undiscovered in an old lum-
ber.rOom IN the Patterson mansion on
South street, Baltimore, after which
they passed into the hand, Of all old
Junk. dealer for tiiting sum-sold for
paper, you know. The junk-dealer in
turn disposed Of them to paper-stock
dealer, who fortunately discovered their
real value. Another gentleman, at
one time occupying the old British pri-
son, on Rose street, as a warehouse,
tells the following curious tale;
"a gentleman once came 10 oar
store with a piece Of handmade, water
marked paper, and offered large s1m
if we could match him the Yatec-mark.
1t was a deed to large pje3e Of pro-
perty in st. Louis, and he wished to
prove it a forgery. If he could arise
in court aud by displaying similar
water.mark prove that its peculiar
character did not argue the aga
Of the paper, he hoped to win
bis case. The paper was never

discovery was made by accident that

siyely that the will was forgery.

gentleman Of Lancaster met him feT
days ago. Tue two got to talking
about the var and General Grant, when
the mountainecr stated that he had fought

a thunderbolt on the Lancastrian by
asking: "Uow is the old General any
how, and where is he now living? -
He was very much surprised when toll
that he had been dead and buried a
year and more, and attempted 10 excuse
his ignorance by saying that he seldom
