[New York San.] ."

Under the moral influence of a great illuminated motto—"Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them" —in his luxuriously furnished parlor at Waldemere, his country seat near Bridgeport, the reporter found the venerable showman, P. T. Barnum. Plump, ruddy, lively and active, the veteran looked as if he had juggled away a -c-ovp. at least, of his seventy-four years. "But I'm getting pretty well along in years,* he said, "for I was born on July 5,1810." "What is your actual present physical condition?" the reporter asked, having in mind Mr. Barnum's recent making of that stupendous 700-page will. "I don't positively know, without trying whether I could turn a somersault or not, but the chances are that I could, at least as well as ever. At all events, I never was better in ray life. I eat well, sleep well, and enjoy the mast perfect health. Perhaps to maintain this condition I should walk more than I do, but I walk some, and go out riding every day twice. All the disease I have is old age, and my neighbors say 1 should not plead that, "for I'm as young as most men of 60. The sickness I had in New York three years ago, when the doctors gave me up, was the only one I had in many years, and seems to have renovated me—given me a new lease of life. ig

PERSONAL HABITS.ViiS It "l

"What have been and are the personal habits that have conduced to such a good result?" "Primarily, regularity secondarily, abstinence from things that tend to shorten lffe. Sometimes,- when my neighbors do not come to me, I go out to them in the evenings and play a game of whist, and occasionally I go to the theatre, but as a rule I am in bed by 10 o'clock eyery night. All my work, directing my personal business, conducting my correspondence, and communicating with ray partners, I .do in the forenoons, getting through ,tit in time for a drive before my dinner, which I take in the middle of the day. After dinner I am accustomed to doze for three or five minutes. If I just lose'consciousness that long I am as much refreshed as if I had slept for hours. After that I take another drive. In the evening an hour's reading, a few games of cribbage or whist, or a little music fills up the time until my hour of retiring. I am always up' by 7 o'clock in the morning." "How long have yon maintained such regular habits?" "As far as practicable since 1847, when 1 became a teetotaller, although when I was a traveling showman,my hours„ were, necessarily not so good." i't i,

HIS WINB-CKLiiAR? r&

"Did yon drink much prior to 1847?" **WelL.I wouldn't have allowed anybody to tell me so, but when 1 look back over that time I know now that I did. When I built my magnificent Oriental country seat Iranistan, I was proud of the house, but ten times prouder of my wine-cellar than of anything else I had. I was, not in the habit of drinking distilled liquors, but every day at dinner took my bottle of champagne, or its equivalent in other wines or malt liquors. I did no business after noon,, and my mother-in-law used to say sometimes that I was 'heady after dinner. I felt quite offended by the suggestion, and threatened to go back to whisky if it was repeated, for I really considered myself quite a temperance man, since I draiik only wine, and thought my afterdinner feelings were due to overeating rather' than drinking. But I got the Rev. Dr. Chapin to come up to Bridgeport and deliver a temperance lecture, for the subject of which he took "The Moderate Drinker," snd I saw myself in quite anew 3ght. I realized for the first time the bad example I was setting, and when I went home that night was so worried that I could scarcely sleep. The next morning I had my coachman knock the necks off all the champagne bottles I had in my cellar, some five or six dozen the port and other medicinal wines I gave away in cases of sickness, and the liquors I returned to the dealers. That was the end of my drinking. As young bumblebees are biggest when they are first hatched, so I was, in the first heat of my conversion, an enthusiast on the subject of teetotalism. I went all over Connecticut and "New York delivering free lectures oujthe subject, and even went out to Wisconsin, stumped the state at my own expense, and at least helped to carry it on a temperance platform."

TOBACCO.

"Yon swore off on tobacco also?" 0 3 "Yes—or at least I stopped its use. 1 never chewed, but I was a great smoker. When I went over to England lecturing, in 1856, after the Jerome Clock company disaster overwhelmed me, I was in such a situation that every pound was of importance to me, and as I was then using every week a sovereign's worth of cigars I thought I would practice economy and stop it. One Sunday I chewed chamomile flowei-s all day instead of smoking, by a druggist's advice, and they almost killed me. The next day I went to smoking again, and continued it up to 1870. I could give up liquor easily enough, but not tobacco, and I averaged ten cigars a day. One day in 1860, on my way down to the museum, I felt a strange choking sensation away down in my throat, and then a,throbbing or palpitation of my heart. I had noticed it a little for a year before, but paid no particular attention to it until then. I asked my manager, Greenwood, what it was, and he said it was heart disease, and the symptoms I described as mine meant death. That scared me pretty badly. I determined to give up business at once, retire ta the oountry, and prepare to die, but before doing so consulted Dr. Willard Parker. He examined me, and said: 'You may have a Very hard heart, for all I know, but you have as strong a one as there is in New York. Nicotine is all that is the matter with you. Stop smoking.' I did so at once, I was so scared, and never smoked again. For a vaar. however. I used tn oorrv Hita «f caiamus in my poeKet to anew on wnon wanted to smoke." „,

Hi BAD LUCK.

"So in your unregenerate state you used to drink and smoke. Did you gamble?" "No, never. I never even speculated in stocks but-once in my life. That was* in the time of the great panic, ten years or more ago. I had some money lying idle in bank, and, seeing everything tumble down to the lowest point apparently, I thought it would be a good time to buy and hold on for a raise. So I took- down 9100,000 to Hatch & Foots and told them to put it in whatever they thought best. They invested it, and I thought ^oa sura of malrinir S25.000 anvwav.Tout

I have my legitimate business a showman, and want no other. In it I never made a mistake, but whenever I stepped outside it, was pretty sure to."

wa THE DELM0NI00&

Witt %%i a In a he a of ha a Charle Clare W a to liaalness. [New York Cor. Washington Star.] The trouble with the famous restaurateur has been an unconquerable aversion to exorcise. The same inertia has been the bane of all the Delraonicos. Siro, who died a year or so a 50, was for along while a curiosity. Men used to look at him with positive amazement. He had a room on the top floor of the Twenty-sixth street house, but spent most of his time in the restaurant. He was known as the man who never slept but always smoked. He took breakfast in the restaurant about 9 o'clock. Then he sat down and read the papers and smoked until lunch time. He was occasionally interrupted by minor affairs connected with the business, but seldom left his seat After Junch he would sit and smoke until 4 o'clock in the afternoon, when he would leisurely climb into a hack and visit the down-town Delmonico places. By half-past 5 he would be back in the restaurant again and sit and talk to his cronies until 8 o'clock. Then he ate a very heavy dinner. From that time until half-past 1 he scarcely moved from his chair. At half-past 1 he would go down and look about the kitchen, go up to his room on the top floor, and sleep for an hour." He was called again. Half-past 3 found him in the markets along the river-front buying food for the daily consumption of his numerous restaurants. This task generally took him two or three hours. It was usually 6 o'clock before he came back to the restauraut again, and after another short nap and a bath, he was ready for bis breakfast as usual at 9 o'clock.

This was his daily programme, Sunday included. He smoked very strong cigars, and had one in his mouth as long ash was awake, unless he was eating. During the day he was usually sleepy and stupid, and lounged lazily in his chair with his head on his breast. This was natural considering the small amount of sleep he had. When he died, nicotine was said to be the most potent cause of his death Charles Delnionico. inherited the vast business. The immense fortune which came to him was the immediate cause of his ruin. He conceived the idea of being a great millionaire. He had a fortune of several millions to start with, and he was thoroughly conversant with Wall street affairs. He was jolly, wide awake, and enterprising at first, but he gave way to the besetting sin of the Delmonico family, and before long became as lymphatic and lacy as any of his famous uncles. He sat with a stupid and loggy expression in his restaurant for hours and hours at a time. He grew cross, morose and sullen. Men who had known him for years, and known him intimately, were rebuffed when they approached his chair, and be was a terror to everybody whom he employed.

But it is a singular fact that through all his illness and subsequent dementia he never relaxed his vigilant care of his restaurant. Delmonico's to-day is even a more perfect establishment than it was five years ago. When Charlie Delmonico became a pronounced lunatic (about a year ago), people who hadstitute formerly made it a point to go and speak to him every day and try and keep up their social relations with him looked askance and gave him a wide berth. He sat staring moodily at the floor for hours at a time. He grew very stout, aud, like rfiro, his chin was depressed. His eyes grew heavy and loggy, and without the faiutest spark of animation. He is the last of the Delmouicos. The business will probably go to bis nephew, whose name is Crist. \tjr

me a Boy., », The Hotel World, of Chicago, speaks of the dangerous practice of allowing small boys to ran hotel elevators. That is a matter that should be regulated by law. The elevator should have a man to run it who has nerve and common sense, and who would be cool in an emergency. To have your boots blacked by a porter, a full grown man, who looks as though he had more sense than the aldermen, and then go and put your life in the hands of a shrimp of a boy in charge of the elevator, does not make a hotel guest feel very contented. The average elevator boy is thinking all the time of how long it will be before he gets off watch, so he can go skating, aud ho does not think of the lives he holds in his hands.

[New York Sun.]

"How much can you influence any onef* "I will show you the whole extent of my power, or any other man's, in this respect," said the professor, taking a pencil from his pocket He borrowed a visiting-card from one of the party, held it under the table, and wrote a figure on it. Then he folded it up until it was like a ball, and tossed it across the table to the writer. "Put that piece of paper in your pocket, please, and button your coat over it Now I'll tell you what I propose to do. Give me another card. Observe, I write on this card a series of numbers. It doesn't make much difference how many. They are: -f 5 1 3 6 2 4 7 9 8 "Now, I propose, by an effort of my mind, to make you select the number from this list which is written on the foleed card in your pocket and which you have not seen. Take the pencil and card," tossing them across the table, "and cross out one of those numbers. Look me in the eye for a moment Now 1"

The writer deliberately chose the figure 4, and was about to cross it out when he suddenly resolved to take the 7. Be changed his mind again, and abruptly drew the pencil through the figure 2. "Take the card out of your pocket, please, and open

When the card was nsfolded the figure 8 was written in the middle.

He then, at their request, tried the experiment on the other five members of the party. He was successful in every instance. "That is all there is of spiritualism or mindreading," said he "the rest is simple trickery like this." As he spoke he stretched one hand across the table, pently took a two-dollar bill from the hand of a waiter who was handing itj in change to one of the party, and crumpled it up in his hand, which he still held over the table. Then he showed it to the man, and it was changed to a $20 biU. Goldberg tossed it to him, and he at once thrust it into his pocket with the remark that he was $18 winner. "Are you surer asked the professor. "Of course. I know when I put a $30 bill is my pocket" "It's a $1 bilV said the professor, quietly. "The original $2 bill is in the celery glass."

The man pulled out the bill, found it was $1, threw it across to the professor, pulled the $8 out of the celery glass, and gasped: "Where's that twenty?" 4 m-s: "Here in my hand" 1 "Well, motion is quicker than sight" "Wrong again Motion cannot be quicker than sight The reason you don't see me subone of those bills for another is because distracted your attention at the instant I made the change. Show us a poker hand if you've got cards with you." ^.|"I haven't any. I left mine at tin club."

A pack was procured by the waiter, who regarded the magician with awe, as he said: "Very many poker players, men of the world, at that, do not believe that one expert card sharp could go into a party of four or five honest players and cheat them without discovery. Now 111 deal four hands."

He shuffled the cards in a number of ways, bht always, so far as appearance went, very honestly. He then asked the man on his right to cut them, and had them cut once more "for purity's sake" by another player. Then he dealt them around, one at a time, to four players, including himself, and the other players picked up their cards. "Gad! I'd like to play this hand," muttered the first man. "I could down you." said the second man, with an important scowl. ,,,

The third was the. expression of a man who looks down upon his fellows, as he remarked: "I'd bet everything I could win on this."

Meanwhile the professor had slippci into his top coat and was drawing 011 his lov^ The first had three kings and a pair of teens, the second four aces and a king, an 1 a third a straight flush, nine hi„rb, an almost iuvincible hand. ., ,J*f '_ "What's yours, professor?'

A muinnaiuoititstie Honseooy [Cor. New Orleans Times-Democrat] Personal experience and relations are, by the rule, as tiresome as a '49 Califoinian whose tales are not half told until they reach the 7,000th recital. But I came upon a happening an hour since which would have been a study to Macnish.

A houseboy, who* has done little else since he was born but breathe an sleep, was sitting by the kitchen fire, sleeping with greater intensity than usual, si.ict he had an overdose of New Year's. He was ordered to replenish the fires he moved a little in his chair. On a repetition of the order, he arose walked out to a table upon which lay a couple of hats. He picked up one and moved it about in his hand, as though it displeased him he laid it down, and took up the other. He started out with it, passed through the stable, uncomfortably close to the rear of a horse, whose frisky heels had yesterday "scarified him most to death," as Mrs. Malaprop lately remarked. Reaching the coal-house, he carefully filled the hat and returned by the same path, tempting those aching equine heels by brushing past in coaxing nearness. Entering the house, he went directly to the table and emptied the hat upon it shaking it well out, he returned it to the position in which he found it He then went to his kitchen chair, sat down and continued his sleep.

I leave to a Macnish or Binns to trace out the nice relations of the senses in this semiconscious condition, when by the ideas illustrated certain faculties are dormant in profound sleep, others open to impressions, and by volition. The phenomena may be an acted dream, a delusion, and that which is seen, heard or done is the mere embodiment or repetition of former impressions or impulses at the time before the mind. The hypotheses differ among thinkers. But Dr. Mayo counts somnambulism within the bounadry of disease. For a study, I am willing to lend the boy.
