MIND READER BROWN.
His Tests More Wonderful Than
Those of Bishop.

J. Randall Brown, the ''mind reader"
gave some interesting tests of his myS-
FERROUS art before fair house last night
at the Harris theater. The exhibition
consisted of series of tests of this nlys-
tic power, part of which were similar
to those given at the same place last
winter by the late Washington Irving
Bishop. Mr.. Brown is graceful upon
the stage, and possesses an easy, enter
tanning flow of language.
After giving few minutes discourse
on the subject of mind reading, com
mittee of prominent citizens was Sc
lected TO assist Mr.. Brown in his eX-
periments, consisting of Col. John Il.
West, Col. Swat, Prof. Dawson. c. s.
Bartarm. DIR. La Paul and MIR. Keiser.
The first experiment was that of finding
an article which was secreted in the
pocket in one of the audience by Mr..
Keiser, while Mr.. Brown was in one of
the dressing rooms with one of the COM
mittee. He clasped Mr.. Keiser's
left hand in his, requested Mr..
Keiser to think of the object,
where il was Secreted and the route ac-
cessible to it. After making a few nerv
Gus passes with his right hand, and
touching Mr.. keiser's forehead, he
Mr.. Keiser'S hand, and without the
and down the aiSles blindfolded to the
person who had the article and pro-
duced it. In another test Mr.. Brown
was assisted by Capt. Waters. The
captain WIS to single out some person
in the audience, and concentrate
his mind upon his features.
Mr.. Brown proceeded as before
throughout the lower part of the
theater, scanning the faces of the crowd
with Capt. Waters eyes, he being blind
folded. After leading the captain back
to the stage he described the person he
had in mind, as being an elderly gentle
man with white hair and chin whiskers,
weighing about 200 pounds. He then
came off the stage in quest of the per-
son. After looking the crowd over. he
placed his hand upon gentleman's
head and said, This is the man." Re
turning to the stage, Capt. Waters said
that the person whom he had identified
was not the one. but that twas the
gentlemen just in front of him. That
keep one of the men in mind without
the other, as they were sitting so close
together. MIR. Brown called upon the
gentlemen to stand up, and their SINH
larity in looks and their confusion was
greeted by the crowd with applause and
laughter. A number of other remark
able illustrations of Mr.. Browns
mysterious power were given, and
among them that of reading
the thoughts of another by wire COM
munication. To do this Col. West took
a carriage to the hotel. When there he
placed the end of wire to his forehead
and kept repeating certain number III
his mind. The wire was extended to
the theater Astage, and held by Mr..
Brown to his forehead while he wrote
on blackboard the number Mr.. West
was thinking of down at the hotel.
When Mr.. West came in and announced
the number, and it proved to be 100, 22l,
the same as that written on the black
board, the audience broke out into great

Official Reviewing Music.

Baltimore American.
The Marine band was one of the'yer.
few bands that passed the presidential
stand at the review in Baltimore last
Monday that did not play Hail to the
Chief" Its common impression
among bandmasterS," said Prof. SouSa,
its leader, last night, that this Hail to
the Chief is the proper presidential
Saluting air. That's mistake. The
tactics of the army and navy do not
prescribe Hail to the Chief when pass
ing before the president. The tac-
les prescribe that when a band
passes its reviewing officer the
drums shall roll and trumpeters
sound, but it is utterly silent as to the
band. The band might pass by in
silence so far as the tactics say. Hail
to the CHER is the traditional saluting
air. 1t is originally Scotch boating
song, and any one who studies ii care
fully can detect its Scotch characters
tics. The air is a pretty one, and years
ago became one of the favorites of tho
Marine band. Owing principally to its
sonorous beauty and to the bands famil-
iarity with the air (and evidently. per-
haps, to its title), the Marine band fell
into the custom of playing it at the
White house on state occasions as the
presidential party entered the recep-
ton room. In this way the no.
ton became current among bandmaS-
tiers that Hail to the Chief was the
official reviewing air. 1t is not. As
matter of fact, the Marine band never
plays it when marching past the presi-
dent. 1t always plays 'Semper Fidelis.'
the reviewing march of the marine
corps. The music was written by Prof.
Sousa, especially for the review of the
marine corps. Hence its title. 'Semper
Fidelis, the motto of the corps. 1t is so
written that the roll of the drums and
the sounding OF the trumpets as drum
corps and trumpet corps pass the re-
viewing officer shall form an integral
part of the air, and every one who heard
it as the Marine band passed the stand
last Monday will admit its perfect
adaDtabiltV to the DUrDOSeo

About the Vice President.

A correspondent of the Christian REGISTER
says: 1.-The incident to which / refer entered
into the early experience OF the Hon. Levi P.
Morton, the worthy Vice President of the
United States, and, in the form of a valuable
habit, became by frequent repetition perma-
nent element in his very useful moral charac-
ter, habit the long exercise of which has
greatly aided him in his efforts to win success
in his business relations and in the high politi-
cal offices he has filed with such marked abil-
ity, fidelity and honor, namely, the benevolent,
holy habit Of helping, in variety of ways,
those who needed help. One form OF it, to
which now refer, was that of personally help
ing those In his vicinity to church who other
wise had no means Of conveyance when the
weather on the streets rendered walking i'm
practicable, especially women and children.
cat such times, on Sunday mornings, with
horse and carriage, he was busy and happy in
conveying such persons to his fathers church,
in Winchendon, Mass. In this way he con-
ferred a favor, increased the number Of au-
ditors, and made it much easier, more encour-
aging and useful to his father in his official
work.
"His father, the Rev. Daniel Morton, was
man of fine talents and character. His grand
father. on his mothers side the Rev. d. Parsons,
when fifty years old, gave up his Office of dea-
CON of his church for the Office of gospel
preacher, the duties of which he faithfully con-
tinued to perform for thirty years. His son,
the Rev. Levi Parsons, and uncle Of our pres
ent Vice President, whose name he bears, was
an able minister, and early became distin-
guished foreign missionary. Thus we find in
the ancestral line Of our Vice President men of
great force of character. having much genuine
push in their make up. deeply interested in
great and good causes, and living lives worth
living"
