It is expected that Governor Hill viii APP
prove either to-day or tomorrow the Linson
Registration bill-one OF the most important
of the measures left in his hands by the Legs
lature. This bill requires the personal regis
tration of every voter from year to year i'll all
the cities of the State. In other words, it
makes applicable to the other cities the sys-
tenn of registration with which voters in New
York and Brooklyn have long been familiar
One of its important effects will be to stop the
frauds of repeating, voting on dead mons
names. etc, which have marked recent cleo
tions. particularly in Albany and Troy. Fur
,hermore. the Linson bill requires the registra-
ton in person or by proxy of all voters in the
country districts, which is matter OF special
interest to our numerous party friends among
the farming population. They must have
care not to be disiranchised when November
comes round.

he iivesl" roared the soldiers, stricken
with mortal fear.
Then slowly and with the greatest dig
nifty I gradually arose, stretched my
arms, yawned like one awaking from
heavy sleep, turned, and looked upon
them unconcernedly. As did 30, mo-
ticed that old IndabaoEimbi was almost
fainting from exhaustion. Beads OF per
SEPARATION stood upon his brow, his limbs
trembled and his breast heaved.
As for the Zulus, they waited for no
more. With howl OF terror the whole
regiment turned and fed across the rise,
so that presently we were left alone with
the dead and the swooning child.
"How on earth did you do that, Indaba-
ximbi2" asked In amaze.
Don't ask me, Macumazahn," he
gasped. "You white men are very clever,
but you don't quite know everything
There are men in the world who can
make people believe they see things
which they do not see. Let us be going
while we may, for when these Umtetwas
have got over their fright they viii come
back to loot the wagons, and then per-
haps they win begin to ask questions that
l can't answer"
And here may rs well state thas ]
never got any further information on
this matter from old Indaba-xinnbi. But
I have my theory. and here 1t Is for
whatever IL may be worth. / believe
that Indaba-ximbi mesmerixed the whole
crowd OF onlookers, making them believe
that they saw the assegd In my heart
and the blood upon the blade. The reader
may smile and say Impossible" but ]
would ask him how the Indian jugglerf
do their tricks unless 1t Is by mesmerism-
The spectators seem TO see the boy &C
under the basket and there pierced with
daggers; they seem to see women In
trance supported In mid air upon the
point of single sword. In themselves
these things are not possible; they VIC
late the laws of nature, and therefore
must be illusion. And 30, through the
glamor thrown upon them by Indaba-
ximbi's viii, the Zulu impi seemed to see
me transfxed with an assegai that never
touched me. At least, that is my theory;
II any one has better, let him adopt 1t.
The explanation lies between illusion and
magic Of a most imposing character, and
prefer to accept the first alternative.
