WHAT A MAGICIAN Bill. Causing Wondtr by Cutting a Man into Pieces — Dishes of Live GoldFishes Mysteriously Appearing and Disappearing. "When the bell was rung in the lec-ture-room of Bunnell’s museum in Broadway last evening there was a rush as of struggling persons on the quarter stretch at a race-track, and the delusion that a contest lietween fast-going horses was about to take place was intensified by the tone of the bell and the manner of ringing it. Every seat was occupied by ladies and gentlemen and children of the better classes in wonderful quick time. When the curtain rose Dr, H. 8. Lynn the great English magician was announced. For four years he has given two performances each day in Egyptian ball, London, and for the last two years has performed his greatest feat, which is declared to be the decapitation of a man, and the severing of Ids limbs from hie body in full view of the audience, While the doctor always insists that it is his intention to explain “how it’s done” when he per forms other tricks, he makes no attempt to let the audience into his secret of decapitaion, and defies them to explain to him how he does it. “Will two gentlemen kindly loan me their hats,” said the Doctor, in a voice that might have come from the frigid zone. Two shining silk nats were handed to him, Then he called for two gentlemen to assist him on the stage. After a delay that slightly annoyed the magician, two men went rather awkwardly to the stage. One of them was bulky in body and thick of bead. TJiie other was thin, and with eyes that glared in an alarming manner as his nervousness increased. The bulky one was slow and sure in his movements, and when the magician rattled off' an algebraic problem to him, and asked, “You know what I mean, don’t you ?” and the bulky one nodded affirmatively, the audience saw at once the ludicrousjiess of the situation and roared with delight. As the laughter subsided the Doctor pleasantly said to the bulky one, It’s a real pleasure to talk to you,' and the audience accepted the bulky one as the but of ridicule for the evening. The man with the glaring eyes was told to write the name of some one on a scrap of paper without the magician seeing it. The paper was then handed the bulky one and inclosed by him in an envelope, the Doctor neither handling the paper nor the envelope. Scraps of paper were distributed through the audience, and after the Doctor had in his grim way greatly excited the curiosity of the audience and almost completely bewildered his two associates on the stage, he assumed, through an algebraic proposition, to tell the names written on the pieces of paper. He succeeded in some way however in correctly giving the names, and at once established himself as a firstclass magician. He produced dishes of live gold-fishes in water with as mu-11 grace and rapidity as Heller ever did, and made them disappear even more mysteriously. The time was insufficient for him to display but a few feats of sleight-of hand, and then iie announced that he was about to' cut somebody into pieces.” This met with a roar of approval from the audience. The bulky one and the man with glaring eyes made no sign of satisfaction, but contented themselves with easting shy glances at each other.

When a young man, who might have been an undertaker’s right hand assistant or the First Vice President of the Society of Executioners, appeared on the stage with a blaek cloth over his left arm and a large cimeter in his right hand, the bulky one edgej toward the foot-lights, and wou! have fallen into the orchestra but for the Doctor, who clutched him in the nick of time after a little parley the bulky one was permitted to escape, and the Dector through a little pleasantry, persuaded a young man of dashing appearance to take his place. The dashing voung man was made to participate in the trick of swallowing a dish of gold fish, and when he had bee uno highly amused over the part taken by him in the performance the Doctor bade him be seated. Then the Doctor called the man with the cimeter This gloomy-visaged young man who stepped back into the wings reappeared with a butcher’s knife, in addition to the cimeter, and stood gating at the dashing young man. The man with glaring eyes seemed hopeful that he was not to be made the Doctor’s subject. The Doctor placed his hands upon a fragile table before him, and sai I, in a voice that seemed to come from the grave, that he was about to “cut up a man.” The audience was hushed and the countenances of some of the women began to grow pale. Everybody stared at the Doctor as ( though for dear life, and when he | ceased speaking a pin might have been heard if it had dropped. The | dashing young man was almost as . pale as the white face of the clown in | a pantomine. He moved uneasily in ■ his chair as the Doctor repeated his I awful words. “I am about to cut up : a man.” The Doctor noticing the young man's agony, said to him in a sad voice, “You’re enjoying yourself this evening, ain’t you?” And the dashing young man fairly gasped for breath. “I notice that your hair is standing up,” said the Doctor inquiring, but the young man was speechless. There could be no disguising his excitement. He was badly frightened. When the Doctor approached him with the cimeter the young man said something to him in an appealing way, and pointed to the man with glaring eyes on the other side of the stage. The audience screamed with delight, and the Doctor turned to the man whose glaring eyes now seemed like balls of fire. When the Doctor gracefully posed in front of him with the cimeter the solemn young man with the butcher’s knife handed it to the Doctor, who scraped it over the edge of the cimeter.

All the while the doctor talked, declaring that he >as working si.nply in the interests of science to show that a man might be decapitated and the head restored as good as new. The man with glaring eyes tugged at the doctor’s sleeve, and, drawing the latter’s eye within range of a whisper, spoke in pleading undertones. The doctor turned sharply to the audience and remarked in surprise, ‘'He says he’s married. What of it? I should think a married man would be used to being cut up.” Ihe pealsof laughter that followed this almost pros!rat ed the man with glaring eyes. When the doctor had very nearly succeeded in driving both of the young n.en to desperation he turned to one of his paid assistants, and said, “Here is a young man who came with me from England. He isn’t of much use, so I may as well cut him up.” The relief experienced by the two volunteer assistants was enjoyed by the audience. The two young men looked at each other tnd laughed. Then they rubbed their hands gleefully. An upright board at the back of the stage bore two stout cords, hanging from hooks in its sides. A screen was pulled in fron* of this, and the Doctor Invited the two volunteer assistants to go bei this screen and see him tie up nan Then the screen was pulled his >nan seemed to be the figman stood with his back ure of this 11l (1 and the cords were against the .‘Tell the audience Hi d around him- done behind the whai y° u . . doctor to the two screen, d lM) tb shouted out. tc volu th at they saw the man tied the effect that tn g j h is mouth up.

and moved his right foot. “What will you have?” asked the doctor of the dashing young man. “Awing, eh?” Then the doctor, with the cimeter, approached his mat:, and as the ladies covered their eyes with their handkerchiefs he slashed at the man s left arm and taking it from the body placed iton thedashing young man’s lap, “ What will ybu have ? A leg, eh ?” said the Doctor to the man with glaring eyes, and without more ado he slashed off'the left leg of his man and handed it to the man with the glaring eyes. Not a drop of blood had been shed. Then the Docte’ said: “Now I’ll cut off' his head,” and throwing the black cloth oyer his man’s head he made a sweep with the cimeter around the neck. He seized what seemed to be the bead in the black cloth, and, tripping to the footlights, asked. What lady desires the head?” No one offering to take it, he said, “I’ll throw it away.” He waved the cloth and there was nothing in it. The figure without a head and but one arm and one leg stood tied to the board. The right hand pointed toward the Doctor and then toward the headless trunk. “He wants his head,” said the Doctor calmly.and, throwing the black cloth over the trunk and instantly removing it, the head was found as before, and the man rubbed his eyes as though he bad been asleep. Tossing the arm and leg into the inclosure, and pulling the screen over all, the Doctor said, “There! Put yourself together again.” He had scarcely uttered these words before the man stepped from behind the screen in view of the audience, and the curtain was dropped. Chicago.

A Fable! There was once a smart oid man who had a fun-loving young man for a friend. One day the young man came to see the old man, and with him he brought an old shot-gun, that he had just found and wished to show to his friend, the smart old man. Now the young man loved the old man dearly, and so did the old man love the young man better than any one else in the world except himself, the smart old man. Now’ the smart old man had two violent prejudices—one against the shot-gun of a fun-loving friend, and the other against death; sowhen he saw the young man coming up the walk with the gun, the smart oi l man was troubled all over himself, and he went and loaded a six barreled revolver in a fit of absent mindedness, and when the young man began to monkey with the shot-gun, the mind of the the old man became temporarily aberrated, and he bored six holes through the frame of his friend, the fun loving young man. The fun loving young man died right away and the smart old man lived more happily than anybody ever afterward. The fable teaches that the fun loving young cuss was served just right. —< Inswold, Cincinnat; Saturday Night. How Io Select a Ballet Girl. There was a conglomerated mass of femininity on the stage of Pope’s Theatre yesterday morning, caused by an advertisement for 100 ladies to appear in the ballet to be produced next week. Presently there was a stir from without, and a well dressed gentleman stepped briskly down the stage, and seated himself at the prompter’s table. This was the ballet master. “Young ladies,” he said, “you will please come forward. I want you to understand that this engagement is for young ladies in tights and short dresses, the apportionment of each to t.e made at our option. Please step single in front of the table while I make the inquiries.” Then of each he inquired her age, weight, and height, and announced his decision instantly. Within five minutes he had secured thirty and dismissed the rest. “How doyoujudge oftheir figures?” queried the innocent reporter. “Simple enough,” replied the skillful ballet master. “A young lady of a certain height and weight will invariably have development in proportion. For instance, a girl five feet high, and weighing 175 pounds is too much developed for stage purposes; but a girl five feet high, and weighing 125 pounds, will do. Long years of figuring and experiment will enable a ballet master to instantly determine w hether a lady will do for the ballet. This makes it unnecessary to interrogate closely, and renders the work of t iie ballet master, so far as the employing goes, an easy task. It is the rehearsal that makes them flinch.” Haidee Heller, once the assistant of Robert Heller in his second-sight performances, is now a cashier in a fashionable London restaurant. She has made several attempts to teach that famous trick to others since Haliers’s death, with a view to continuing it in public, but no one was able to master it sufficiently for practical purposes. Heller had by twenty years of practice, so elaborated the deception that nobody is likely soon to equal him.

LESS MONEY! Than you can buy anywhere else. MYERS BROS. DeeatuT May 5, 1881. ts Lavish expenditures in public buildings for Paris entirely departed ed with the termination of Baron Haussmann’s official career. Baron Haussmann, after being first authorized to spend $35,000,000 in the embelishment of the city, ended, in 1869, with an expenditure of the enormous total of $ 12m,600,000. It is now said that the ne® post-offioe and hotel de Ville will cost, when finished, $14,000, 000, and that the Church of the Scared Heart on the Hill of Montmatre at least $5,000,000. Os the opera-house, which is not yet completed, the cost already has been $10,500,000. Some notion of the outlays which have been made on the Hotel de Ville may be learned from the fact that the estimate for doors, window-frames, glass, fireplaces, and looks alone amounts to $140,000, while anout three times that sum is set down for art decorations and furniture. On the four outer walls of the building will be placed in niches no fewer than 106 statues, each 8 feet in hight.
