The young professor of magic stood before
 his audience outwardly calm, but his heart
 was beating wildly. He was about to perform
 his greatest, most bewilding, most mystify- ing feat of legerdemain.
 In a dull red brick building that stood in the middle of a TOW of other dull red brick buildings in an old dull red brick town on the Mississippi River, a short distance below Alton, was the hall in which the performance was taking place. On the outside the slug gish footfall of an occasional pedestrian mak- ! ing his way drearily homeward through the grass grown street could be heard. And in the stiffness that now reigned in the room, superadded to the almost sepulchral silence that brooded like pail over the decayina village, the ear could catch the faint swish of tbe grand old highway of rafts and mud ! cats whose waters on their way to the dis tant gulf smeared the piers of the East St Louis and Cahokia Bridge. The excitement of the prestidigitator hac communicated itself to his auditors. IT breathless expectation they awaited his 1ex movement. He stood with one hand resting lightly on the cover of a mysterious cylin der, and the other extended toward the aud fence.
 "Will some person in the room please lene me handkerchief for few momentsf" h' asked at last with winning smile. No response.
 There wasn't handkerchief in the crowd ! He had forgotten he was in St. Louis. Half hour later crestfallen professor O. magic was making his way out of town, fol 1 lowed by gang of infuriated natives, wht | called him a snide and an imposter ant l threw stones at him.

for ceremoniozs occasions, but his fashion, instead of being followed, was ridiculed.
 It is risk to attempt any transformation at the present time, but the Countess Raol de Kersaint, nee Mally-Nesle, sure of her po- sition, beauty and wealth, invited all her friends to ball at her residence in the Boul- evard de la Toar-Manbourg last Monday evening, and stipulated that every man should wear & coat of color. General de Gallifet and few ambassadors only had per mission to appear in simple black, but seven- ty of the most prominent Frenchmsn, many of them past middle life, responded to the request of the charming young hostess, and for once the marvellous creations of Worth, Felix and Morin-Blossier passed unuoticed. The Count de Kersaint had 8 coat of the most delicate shade of lilac. The Duo de Luynes wore pale mauve with pearl gray re- vers; Count de Narbonne led the german and was much noticed for his terra cotta coat; Count Keziebrowski and Prince Schonburg, attaches of the Austro-Hungerian embassy,
 were in dark chestnut; Count Potocki in sal-

In many European cities investigations are being made to prove or disapprove the infec- tiousness of books handled by the sick, such as must of necessity frequently occur in large circulating libraries. A writer, in comment ing on the subject, remarks that it is the universal pastime of invalids and convsles- cents to read or look over books, which, if not procurable ct home, are brought from some library. Even children are fond of looking at picture books, and the writer re- lates the following personal experience: In 1S46 an eight-year-old brother of my wife was taken down with scarlet fever and died. During his illness he frequently amused himself by looking over 8 large picture book. This, together with several other of his use- full playthings, was packed away in a trunk after his death. Twenty-six years after ward, in 1872, a sister-in-law of mine jour- neyed across the Channel to England ,whers I was then residing, and with her came the chest and the picture book. On the second day the chest was opened and the book pre- scented to my two-yesr- son. Within the next two weeks the little fellow was taken down with scarlet fever. The doctors who were called in consultation wondered how the disease was contracted, as there had been no scarlet fever in the town for years. The circumstances of the book were called te mind, and the indications were clearly that the twenty six-year-old book had rs. tained the poison and communicated it to the child

NEW HANHPSHIRE'S LEGISLATURES
 Just as other States, except Connecticut, are having rest from "the legislature" the trouble in New Hampshire is beginning. The legislature of New Hampshire will begin operations to- day, and it's session will be an unusually interesting, if not an unusually stormy one.
 The first matter that will receive attention will be the choice of governor, there hay- ing been no choice by the people. The Re- publican candidate will probably be elected, as the Republicans have majority of thirty or more on a joint ballot, but lively effort will be made to defeat him. He is Baptist deacon, president of the State Temperance society, and radical prohibitionist. The Democratic candidate is Baptist Sunday school superintendent, but he is willing to sign high license bill. With such candt- date the Democrats are announcing that they can get enough Republican votes to elect him. The Republican candidate announces prohibition legislation and to recommend the extension of the outlawry of the sale of liquor to its manufacture. The State has 1 just defeated constitutional prohibition, and { his attitude will not add to his strength, but party allegiance will probably carry him through.
 Next will come the contest over the United States senatorship. Senator Chandler wants | to return and means to. He and his sup porters have left nothing undone to mak' his election sure. They are pretty skillfu politicians, and they feel confident of success
 His opponent, Dr. Gallinger, is good mana ger, and has strength enough to make it in reresting for Senator Chandler. But tn
 general opinion seems to be that he has n' ! real chance.
 One of the constitutional amendment
 adopted in New Hampshire provides tha
 members of the legislature shall be paid
 fixed sum of $200, be the session longer o
 shorter. Many of the legislators have ez
 pressed themselves ss emphatically agains
 this restriction and they propose to ge
 around it in some way. There seems to b
 nothing to prevent an adjournment after
 moderate number of daily sittings, and tn | inauguration of an adjourned session after
 brief interval. In this way some of the leg
 islators imagine that they can get S400 instea'
 of $200. Suoh performance would be al
 interesting one.
 We hope that New Hampshire will have
 more comfortable experience with its legis
 lature than Connecticut has had with hers

The Bud and the Professor.

From once @ week. Dry as to marrow, leathery as to heart, verdsnt ss to brain, the professor found him self in the ballroom, and, like the fly in the amber, wondering how he got there. In a bower corner sat rosebud in a gar den ot beautiful and exquisitely engowned girls. "I make it rule of three, professor" says the rosebud. ''I dance three dances only of night, one in every hour. The first square dance, to bring my voluntary muscles with their fasciculi into gentle play the second polka, to work the involuntary muscles into action, and the third walt z for absolute enjoyment"
 "Bless my souls" exclaims the professor. "I employ the interim by following some train of thought. Tonight I am seeking types. 1 want to find my Cleopatra, my l Aspasia and my Phryne."
 "Bless my soul, exclaims the professor. 'Did Cleopatra spend the winter of 40 B. o. with Anthony in Alexandria. or was it All Did she bare her bosom or only her arm | to the aspl"
 1 "Bless my soul," exclaims the professor. "Was Aspasia fast or only g hirti Was | Socrates her lover.

 | "Bless my soul," exclaims the professor.
 "Was Phrynes mother laundress, and is 1t true that she got her living at one time 1 by gathering caperss Were those capers for instance, or for boiled legs of murtona Was her offer to rebuild the walls of Thebus if her name were inscribed on them bonaHdef Did she profane the Elusinian mysteries, or
 was it a put up job to bring her to Hellasts, in order to let the council see her beautiful anatomya incline to this, for Apollo paint ed her as the Venus Anadyomone, and Prax- iteles scu1ped her as the Cnodian Venus.
 Was Apollo her lover as well as Praxiteles"
 "Bless my soul" e1claims the professor. l "You see, professor, am from Boston," | "Ahai" and the venerable professor
 bounded like one of his crack pupils toward
 the refreshment room.

 ". J. McGarigle of Chicago, who escaped from the sheriff and went into exile, has been allowed to return on payment of fine of $1, ,000 As warden of the county hospital he betrayed his trust, accepted bribes, and on twenty y-three indictments was sentenced to three years' imprisonment. Now he is let of with 8 fine of $1, ,O00, and has all political disabilities removed. No wonder there is little respect for law in Chicago.
 The Argentine Republic has been encourag- ing immigration, bat it now appears that the matter has been little overdone. Some of the agents in Great Britain and Ireland have received orders from Buenos Ayres to limit the shipments of emigrauts to a fixed num- Der per month. The prospects are that 370,- 600 immigrants will be added to the popula- tion during the present year. and when some time ago 2,000 came in one day from Ireland alone 1t was thought best to cheek a l little the rush from that quarter. Under the steady drain on the public lands, ss offered by the colonization agents, these are fast be- ing taken up, and real estate alues increase The Paris exposition has brought sadness to large part of Paris. The shopkeepsrs, the restaurant keepers and theatrical mana gers find that the show drains the boulevards | and that their business is reduced in nan- | ner unknown since the siege. Even in suoh great restaurants as the Cafe Anglais or
 Voisin's they find that their patrons dine at the exposition. Sarah Bernhardt doesn't
 draw. Coquelin gave his farewell rePresenta-
 tion at the French Theatre to 8 house far
 less in value than that which came to bid

 fusal.
