My IIeabkks : the days of man, born

Good Thing From Knick.
The following rich feast is from the
Editor's, Table of tho Knickerbocker Mag
azine for October and November, 1852.
A distinguished member of the New
York br, was retained on one oocasion
by a friend, also a New Yorker, to attend
to a complaint made against him before a
New Jersey Justice, for an assault and
battery npon one of the residents of the
"old Jersey btate." "1 appear for the
prisoner." said the counsellor to the mod-
em Dogberry, "You appears for debris'-
ner, do yon. and who den be you?" in,
terrnpted tho justice, eyeing liim from
head to foot with marked curiosity : "I
ton't know you, vair bo's von come from,
and vot's yer namel" The councilor
modestly gave his name, and said : "I
am a member of tho New York bar."
"Vol den," replied the justice, "you gan't
bractis in dis here gort." "I am a coun
sellor of the Supreme Court of the State
of New York," reiterated the attorney.
"Dat makes not'ing tifferrent, said the
inveterate instice. "Well' then " onlrl
the baffled lawyer, "suppose I show to
your Honor, that I am counsellor of the
Suprem Court of the United Stats?". "It
ton't make a pit pettor," replied he of
the ermine: "you am ta gounaellor von
de State of New Jarsev. mid you gan't
bractis in dis grrt " This decision ac
counts for the feet that New Jarsey is not
in the United States I On another occa
sion, the same dignitary said to a jury,
who had been listening to a trial before
him of an unfortunate fellow for some of
fenco against the State : "Shentlemen of
der shoory, shtand np : dis here vellow,
der bris'ner at de par, says he ish von

and ven he trives der pig, he kits odor

dat's wot I calls pig sbtealin.' Now shen

he is kilty' I sends him to de State Bri

him I
Píri-or Mioic To eat a pock of pa
per shavings, and convert them into rib
lion. Shouts of laughter generally arise
from the audience wdiilo the magician
stows away" down his bottomless throat
the heaps of paper before him ; but when
he "brings up" yards npon yards of rib
bon, asa proof of his bad digestion, the
splitting sides burst with applause. This,
like all the best illusions, is exceeding
simple ; but to carry it off well requires
a little gesticulation and comic spirit iu
tho illusionist. Procure fifteen separate
yards of differrcnt colored ribboa, at that
width as is sold at a penny a yard, sew
them together to form one length, joining
the contrasting collors ; then roll it np
neatly round itself and it will be about
the size of four half crowns put together.
Now obtain two ocnnv worth of white na
per shavings from a book binder ; shake
them np lightly, and they will look like a
bushel. When yon begin the trick, take
the roll ot ribbon in the lot t hand, which
with a few shavings, is effectnaly hidden,
then "set to" and cat your paper : as vou
feed, by pretending to thrust an extra
handful down the throat from time to time,
you can easily msnage to withdraw the
masticated portions unseen and carry
them doffn to the ground, as yon lift oth
er "tit bits" to the month. Aftei this
has continued long enough, that is, when
yonr visiters have laughed "till their
sides acne," the shavings are now and
then pressed np, which gives the appear
anee of diminished quantity, finally a last
effort is made "to finish it," and you
then pop the roll of ribbon into the
month, and throwing tho remaining shav
ings on the floor, yon take hold of the
ond of the ribbon, and begin to unwind
it, by drawing it gradually from the
month, it will appear as though it came
from the stomach ; the teeth mnst be kept
close enongh to prevent the entire roll
from being pulled ont altogether. When
clevorly performed, this trick is one of the
dchi pieces oi mn which uie magician
exhibits. '
The man who struck "terror" has been
arrested, and will be tried forthwith.
