THE MIND READER.
Mr.. Brown Mystiiies His Audience Very
Much at Mozart Academy.

Mr.. Brown Ngstifes His Audience Very
Much at Mozart Academy.
J. Randall Brown, the mind reader,
showed his marvellous gin TO quite a large
and intellectual audience last night. Be
iug the tutor of the lamented Bishop that
Clet alone was % sufficient criterion that his
show WIS worth attending, and such il
proved t0 be. lis powers smack Of tue Sill
pernatural. although ihey are in the lalc 81
natural science. His wire test, over which
the faculty of Yale College and other bodies
of men OF equal repute have studied
without reaching any satisfactory conclu-
sion, is marvellous piece Of work.
IL proved that Mr.. Brown possesses
some gift or some sway over the human
mind not attributed or given 10 tue ordinary
mortal. In another test, Mr. John H..
Powell. who was on the stage, was told to
select in his mind person in the audience
This he did, while Brown, bllndfOlded, lea
hnh % the gentleman be had selected.
Throughout the Performance, with the
exception OF the spiriiuaiistic part. there
was an air Of mystery that could not be eX-
planned by the many learned men present
The latter part Of the shOw-the spiritual
martin some degree disparaged the
other portion Of the performance. This Is
..0ld business" that should not lie done in
connection with such an act as mind-read-
ing and in that way aiUne disturbs the good
impression made upon the audience. Il is
clear. though. That Dir. Brow n does his va
rlous performances without the aid Of con
iaderates. and That he himself is unable TO
give an account Of how be il able b. do as
Ice does.
The following were on the stage through
out the performance. and afterwards
expressed themselves n thoroughly mysti-
fed rs the auditors, Messrs. John IL. Pow ell,
ID. G. Richardson, DR.. Lewis. {. Bosher.
Colonel 10. Lane Stern. &. :. Crenshaw.
W. b. Moody, ID. o. Davis, MOncure Per-
kins, DR.. Chalkley and others.
iiy the request OF many who We're present
last night, Mr.. Brown will remain in the
city to-day, and give a performance ut the
Mozart Tonight. His show is well worth
seeIng, If from scientific point alone. The
curtain will rise tonight promptly at $3.50

by local applications as they cannot reach
the diseased portion OF the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the mu-
cous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inhamed you have rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taben out
and this tube restored to its normal oondit-
ion, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which
is nothing but an inaamed condition Of the
mucous surfaces.
