y OF the well-hlled pro-
70 gramme; the daring
Keats of acrobats, a wizards mysti-
lying tricks, the comic copy of music
hall ARTISTS" and the graceful
rhythm of gorgeous ballet had in
turn entraneed and pleased their
separate votaries. A restless crowd
surged about the foyer watching
those who, late as the hour was,
had just arrived, and discussing with
Impatient eagerness the promised
wonder which was to form the sec
Ond and concluding portion OF the
evenings entertainment. A glance
at the printed programme explained
the cause of the unusual excitement.
AT an enormous expense, so it was
stated, the management of the Bos-
ton Alhambra had secured the SER
vices of the celebrated mesmerist, DR..
Kellogg, and his marvellous sub
ject," Mile Olivia.
For the last month, from day to
day, the newspapers had heralded
the coming event, and had laid be-
lore their readers story after story
OF the wonderful feats attributed to
the two performers, interlarding
these at intervals with sensational
rumors ofthe romantic circumstances
under which their debut would be
made.
DIR. Kellogg, so the public was in
formed, was at once the most audaci
Gus and the most infallibIe of ex-
perimenters; his powers of magnetism
were practically unlimited, while to
prove their genuineness, if proof
were necessary, and also TO instruct
his audiences, he would expose at
every exhibition the vulgar tricks
and articles by which his host o.
imitators fooled and deceived the
honest, unsuspecting public. In
Olivia would be seen one whost
passive powers and obedience tC
mesmeric influence were fully equa
to the doctors more assertive nat
ural gifts.
Then, by degrees came Whispering
OF strange happenings and mys
terious circumstances surrounding
both tile public and private life 0
mesmerist and subject. DIR. Kellogg
1t was said, was passionately in low
with the fair Olivia. During TIM
frances into which he had the power
to throw her he would at times pitt
1essly torment and torture her, anC
so revenged himself for the utter in
difference, almost amounting Il
aversion, which, in her natural state
she persistently displayed to him
Closely following upon the publica
tion of this professional secret APP
peared yet more startling piece o
news. A certain foreigner. youn,
Englishman named Lord Warner
was also madly infatuated wit
Olivia. Abandoning his wife, HON
ties and brilliant public position, h,
had followed the doctor and his sub
lect through all their wanderings am
travels, forgetiul OF everything saw
his mad, engrossing passion. L
every town or city, and at every pei
1ormance, he had occupied in sol
7tude a stage box, from whence h
could gaze upon the object of his in
fatuation, sentiment, by the way
which seemed only to be returne
when the medium was in her state {
trance. As a natural consequence
the feeling between the doctor an
the young nobleman was one of BIZ
Ter jealousy and hatred. At an
moment, it was limited, the cris
of their enmity was likely to occu
nor was it at all improbable that
tragical ending to the whole romal
tic story would take place in I'll
course of public performance.
Last OF all was chronicled the al
pearance of new actor in this G.
citing drama. A lady, young
beautiful, and evidently Of patricia
birth, had appeared upon the seen
Lady Warner-for it was undoubtl
she-was as regular an attendant {
