Smart COniuring.

A corporal and two privates, having
in their custody deserter, were resting
themselves at country tavern not long
ago.
The deserter amused his guardians
with several entertaining sleight- of-hand
tricks, but being encumbered with hand
cuffs, complained that he could not dis.
play his skill to advantage, aud re-
quested to having his hands at liberty,
whilst he exhibited a trick which he de-
scribed.
This being agreed to, he proceeded to
tie the hands of the three soldiers aud
his own together with a handkerchief,
and he was to loose the four with one
motion simultaneously.
The magic knots were tied, but they
all remained firm except the one which
held the deserter. This came asunder
with touch, when he lifted up the sash
and darted through the window, leaving
his keepers raging at each other like
ill-coupled hounds. The deserter has
not been seen since. Yankee Blade.
