completed his second tour of Tho world,
narrGtcS many interesting experiences

He visited all the civilized and pagan ma

smaller cities i'll the country, with greater
or loss success, and .uetrrMinru to try my
luck i'll the capital. The exhibitions I
gave contained amongst other things,
several cabinet sranceS, of mUrc Or less
startling character, but when ono stops to
consider tho low order Of Intelligence of
the low classes in Mexico, 1t must have
seemed supernatural to them. In Orzabn,
it was said that l possessed supernatural
powers, and was dangerous man to al
low to wander about Tho country. The
poems looked upon Inc with fcilr aud awe,
but never offered to modest mo.
"In the City Of Mtxlco, however, my
reputation for dealings that were dark,
reached its climax. | gave II seapce, as
usual after having allowed the committee
to examine my cabinet. All the usual
maLurlalizatious, us tho mediums call
simple minded people more, by instantly
releasing my hands from amy and all
knots their experts might tic around or
about them.
'lhe nct, although considered 1t one of
my best, was but little applaudod. The
people looked upon it with misgivngs
and tho next day, was not surprised to
got most awful ''roastng" In the local
columns Of the two papers In the city.
The Eel Parjo Verde and the 'El Siglo'
went so far in their denunci;,tion Of me-
as to declare that had been deputized by
the devil, to work harm amongst them
aD1 cdtorially clamored for my instant
expulsion from the country. Twas "el

travelled fast and far and ut one time,
when my little company were travelling
mule back and by diligence across the
country, q band Of robbers, whose leader
had stopped my muleteers, fed In dismny
when they learned who 1t was they
thought would fall prey into their hands
So, oven bad reputation serves one u

A Historic Whist Hand.

One Of the historic hands at whist
was once held by the duke Of Cumber-
land-a hand which at first glance
seemed to be absolutely unbeatable, but
which did not take trick. The duke
held ace, king, queen and knavc in one
plain suit; ace, king, queen i'll another
ace and king in the third; while III
trumps he held king, knave, nine and
seven (of clubs). Yet with this perfectly
magnificent hand and the lead, leading
also quite correctly, he did not make a
single trick.
This seems incredible, but the solu-
ton of the problem is readily seen by
the following facts: The four trumps
lying just over those held by the Duke
Of CONFERENCE.-The, the ace, queen,
ten and eight-were on his left, with
nine diamonds, while on his right
were five small trumps. He led a trump,
which was taken on his left, and q dia-
mond led-trumped on his right. An
other trump was led through him,
which was similarly taken, and another
diamond led. which was also trumpet
on his right.
Another trump led through the duke
caused his last trump but one to fall.
The last was then extracted by the
player on his left. The duke had now
no diamonds, that being the suit Of
which he had held only the ace and
king. Then the diamonds OH his left
were as good as trumps and made nil
the remaining tricks. The duke is said
to have lost wager Of $50. 600 in con-
nection with this hand. -. Pearson g
