HERRMANN'S NEW TRICK.

New YORK, December 12.-There
was private exhibition at Herr
mann's theater to-day of the new
illusion Stroboika," which will be
presented to the public there on
Monday night Mr.. Hermann asked
his guests to come on the stage and
examine an iron frame, which con-
sisted of four posts, seven or eight
feet high, joined at the top by bars.
Within this frame was a plank
large enough for a man to lie upon
comfortably, hung by chains to the
posts. All this was thoroughly in
spected, and anybody who chose
was allowed to walk around it,
crawl under it and go as far as he
pleased toward climbing over it.
Then a man, supposed to be a Rus
sian prisoner or something of that
sort, was placed on the plank and
secured to it by four iron bands,
one about the neck, one obOut each
wrist and one over the ankles. The
bands were fastened to the plank
at one end by staples, and at the
other by padlocks, of which the
guests kept the keys. When every
thing was ready a curtain was
drawn across the front of the frame,
hanging low enough to hide the
plank and the man on it, but not
low enough to hide the wall be-
hind. Watches were taken out,
and at the end of just a minute the
Russian prisoner was seen coming
down the aisle from the back of the
theater while the drawing of the
curtain disclosed Madame Herr
mann fastened to the plank just as
the man had been. Everybody said
it was a clever trick.

are received by every mail for large
numbers to be mailed. A gentleman
in Boston, well posted about the
islands, writes concerning it: 1T is
most admirably arranged, and gives
all the Information that the ordinary
traveller needs, without the exagger-
alton which makes so many books of
this class we'll nigh worthless. All
the principal points of interest on
the islands are fully described, and
many of them are presented with
fine illustrations. Snch book will
naturally attract visitors from all
parts of the world"

A BRITISH VESSEL ATTACKED

Chinese Pirates Capture Steamer OF
the Coast of China.
News are received by the S. S
Oceanic that the British steamer
Namoa was attacked by pirates De
cember 8th The daring of the
pirates can be easily conceived when
it is known they made the attack
only about forty three miles from
Hongkong.
The vessel had on board 45
Chinese in transit, and only five or
six Europeans, when met by eighty
five pirates, who asked to be taken
on board as passengers. At lib PM,
while the officers were at lunch, the
pirates divided into four bands, and
attacked the bridge, saloon, forward
house occupied by the petit officers,
and filed the cabins with stink pots.
A passenger, Capt. Peterson, light
house keeper at the g Lamocks," who
was eating on deck, was instantly
killed; a quartermaster forward was
shot and thrown overheard. They
shot at the engineer, hit
ting him on the wrist; he, how
ever, succeeded in getting away to
the engine room for his revolver and
afterwards killed two of the pirates.
The captain who was in the saloon
was told that if he would submit to
the ships being looted no harm
would be done him or the passen-
gers, but he no sooner stepped out
than he was shot dead.
After getting about $4,000 from
the officers, passengers and crew,
they smashed every boat the
steamer had and then turned
her towards the coast when
within five miles off they gave
three blasts with the whistle, which
was the signal for their partners in
crime to come out in six junks, into
which the booty was placed. When
all was ready the highly elated
heathens, thinking, "Allee samee
good jobbee," departed from the
scene of their deviltries.
Before leaving, however, as a re-
ward of merit ~ perhaps, they |
they threw to the fireman, who had |
assisted them by drawing the fires
from the boilers, bag containing
$500. The ship was then taken back
to Hongkong by the chief officer,
where she presented a most deplor-
able sight.
Captain Pocock, who was in com
mand of the vessel, and who was
shot in the melee, was one of the
best known men on the Chinese
coast, and his death is much regret
ted. The steamer is of the Douglas
Lapraik & Co. S. S. line.

A Little Hero.

When the schooner Kauikeaouli
was torn from her anchors off 10
hala coast last week, a boy, about
eight or ten years old, the adopted
son of the captain. was on board with
the two men who brought the vessel
to Honolulu. As the two men man.
aged the sails, no one was left at the
wheel but the little fellow, who
bravely stood by and worked the
wheel in whatever direction indicat-
ed by the men at the sails. For his
noble action he was presented with
a suit of clothes by Mr. Allen, part
owner of the schooner. And well
did the boy deserve the present, for
few older lads would have had the
courage to act as he did.

THE BANK OF GERMANY.

| The recent excitement in the
money markets of the world has
led Gnanciers to observe closely
the various monetary systems Of
Europe in order to note the elasti-
city with which they can accom-
modate themselves to the various
needs of commerce. None OF
them we are told by the London
Statist has during the year borne
the tests of the fuctuating demand
better than that of Germany. This
fact has led the Statist to give i
readers an elaborate account of the
monetary arrangements of that
empire. The Bank of Germany
has an authorized issue of about
S70,000,000. 1t can increase this
sum to any amount by issuing
notes against the coin and bullion
it holds, and it may, in addition to
these, issue notes to any amount it
pleases, provided that it pays a
duty of 5 per cent upon the excess.
Under these provisions it will be
seen that when money is plentiful
and interest is less than 5 per cent
the bank will withdraw any notes
that it may have issued in excess
of the amount authorized, for it
cannot then afford to pay the duty
imposed by the Government upon
the excess. But when these notes
are withdrawn if bullion be carried
out of the country and notes issued
Oh bullion have to be with
drawn from circulation, and
money becomes scarce and in
terest high, the bank can at once
proceed to issue any amount of
notes that it pleases until rates
drop once more below 8 per cent,
when self-interest will dictate an
end to the expansion. This system
has been put to severe test during
the year, but it has not been found
wanting. The Statist says: +" liz
theory, no doubt, there is much to
be said against the system, but
practice proves that it works well.
The Berlin Bourse has not been
thrown into utter alarm, and trade
has not been unduly harrassed.
Not only did the German system
save the German market from a
severe crisis, it availed also not
merely to stop the serious dram of
gold, but it turned the current and
attracted large amount of metal"
The writer thinks that money mat |
tiers IN England would have been
much better and trade less incon-
venienced during the recent crisis
if the Bank of England, like that of
Germany, were empowered to issue
notes in excess of its authorized
issue, and its coin and bullion, on
condition of payment of a Govern
ment duty.-S. J. Mercury.

OCTOBER TERN, 1890.

The defendant having made the return TO
the assessor of estate belonging to his
wife, claiming to own an interest
therein and in all other respects acting
in her behalf and stead, may properly
be made defendant and sole defendant
in an action by the Tax Collector for
the recovery of the tax.
The law prescribing no other rule of valua-
ton of estate than its full cash value
or the price it might bring if sold at
auction, the mere judgment and ap-

of Tax Appeals cannot be set aside by
this Court on account of valuation

Climbs jaggy rocks to spy his way,
Doth tax his sight, but far doth stray.

Lax grows his joints, limbs toll i'll vain

The Surface of the Moon.

The N. Y. Herald says: A pho
tograph of the moon, taken by the
Brothers Henry at the Paris OBJ
servatory, seems to eclipse all pre-
vious delineations of the lunar sur
face. The picture includes the
central region of the satellite. 1t
is astonishing how many details
on the moons surface are brought
to light. The photograph shows
striking marks of former volcanic
activity, occurring probably before
the moon had become cold or rigid,
when the lunar tides excited by
the earth's attraction, must have
been vastly more destructive than
our highest tides. In some pictures
recently taken at the Lick Obser-
vatory, Professor Holden reports
that parallel walls on the moon,
whose tops are only about 200
yards wide, and which are not
more than 1000 yards apart, are
plainly visible. If we shall ever
have as good a picture of the planet
Mars, the vexed question of it's
" canals" it's seas and snow poles,
as well as its habits will be greatly
slmplified.
