Reno, the Magician.

Edw. Reno, the magician appeared
last evening in program of tricks and
magic absolutely new to his audience.
Mr.. Reno gives a program of an hour
and halfs duration but in that time
he does more tricks than the average
magician does in twice that time and
his tricks are pulled off with startling
alacrity and much mystery. Mr. Reno
uses no trunk articles, relying entire
ly on the newest stunts in the black
art to amuse his audience.
A remarkable thing about the pro-
gram was the fact that Mr.. Reno
worked with crippled thumb. Last
week he tore his right hand on nail
and works with his thumb bandaged.
His work lostsn of it's cleverness.
Mr. Reno explained it by saying he
worked left-handed.

The Power Of Music.

Euripides (B. c. 4sO-4o6) was one OF
the celebrated tragic Greek poets who
discoursed on music in this wise: "No
one has found out how to soothe with
music and sweet symphony those bit
ter pangs by which death and sad
misfortune destroy families; and yet
to assuage such griefs by music were
wisdom" The music Of the Greeks
evidently had the power to stir OF
calm emotions, although neither melo
die nor harmonic as the terms are un
derstood today.

Then it occurred To another man To
use the cotton thread in place Of linen
for sewing and he recommended IT to
the women of the town. Ii was so
much smoother than the linen that the
women liked it, The thread was sold in
hanks and wound by the purchaser
into little balls, but the merchant soon
decided TO wind the hank on a bobbin

inducement TO purchase il instead Of
the linen.
From this beginning the cotton

In regard TO the S2S6,751.49 which
Congress loaned to Michigan in 1885.
Governor Osborn is Of the opinion that
the distribution OF this money was in
tended as an appropriation for certain
internal improvements TO be made by
the state, before the adoption Of a
settled national policy Of internal i'm
provements. According to the govern
or this fact would seem TO justify the
assumption that the national govern
ment never contemplated the with
drawal OF the deposit from the state
treasures. It is also true that this
claim is now three-quarters Of CEN
tury old, and no demand has been
made upon the state at any time since
the distribution of the fund. 1t is the
opinion of Governor Osborn the fed
eral government should not attempt
to force payment at this time.
