THE TRIBUNE. ■trrUeMMßß’ft Wonderful Feats with Caras. A writer in Belgravia describes a visit to the “magician” Herman, at his pri vate residence near Loudon, and the tricks there played tor the entertainment ot t lie guests; . The dinner passed off handsomely ; the Hands were c>t the best in the season; the wine was ot the choicest; conversation was brisk, if not brilliant; and good hu mor threw a radiance over the whole P ar ,ty- It was in fact, a merry meeting; and there was just the number seated round the table to concentrate the talk and prevent the party from breaking up into knots. Herr Hermann, who was seated at the head of the table had -Mteptic placed at his right hand. This collection, which was supposed to be ac cidental at the time, was designed by the conjurer. He had seen and noticed the incredulity of his guest, and was deter mined to make a convert of hiig, or at all e.ents to show off his powers at his ex pense. The conversation turnad upon prestidi gitatcursand their various feats of leger demain. Herr Hermann—who, having p issed many years in America, and being u stranger to England, spoke English with much fluency—said, “I am weli aware that all you savans have an idea h *w the best of our tricks are accomplish ed. ’’ ”1 should think so,” from Skeptic. “Rut. I fancy [ could puzzle even you.” “O. indeed !” again from Skeptic. “Ay, sir, and even .vow,” turning to Skeptic. “By all means try it.” “I shall; and after dinner I will show you a few tricks, ami will defy any one of you to have tin? remotest notion how they are done.” ’ Bravo!” from all tho company except Skeptic, who laughed and helped himself to wine, and congratulated himself on being so much cleverer than tho conjurer. “Presently Herr Hermann rings the bell, and tells the man-servant, who an swers. to fetch some cards. The man retired, and came back with two packs ot cards in secured cases, and placed them on the table “Take one of these packs,” said our host,addressing himself to Skep tic ; “open the cover, and see if all the c.iris are all right.” “No preparation?” demanded Skeptic. “No, I assure you. What I am about to show you now I could Jo with any cards.” “Of course,” ejaculated Skeptic, siieeriugly, and began to tear the cover from the pack. Skep tic looked at the cards, and we all looked st the conjurer. When Skeptic pro nounced the cards ail correct, Herr Her mann took them in his hands, and fling ing them down on" the table with their faces uppermost, said 1 “There are eight of you. When I leave the room and the door is shut on mo, let each person draw a card from the pack, return it and shuffle the cards.” He left the room, bidding us recall him when we were ready. Each man took a card and put it back. Then we all had a shuffle at the pack, excepting Skeptic, who thought he knew all about the trick, ami the conjurer was brought back, in duo time. He took the cards iu his hands. “There are eight of you,” he said. “Each one ot you have drawn a card and replaced it; and the eight cards, if you have well shuffled them, should be dispersed through the pack. No eye c u'd see into this room when the door was shut. Even knowing the cards —were that pos sible—would leave the seeming i npossi bility of bringing the eight cards together; you will all acknowledge that. Behold what art cun do!” He gave the cards a sort of flourish, and placing the pack on his left palm, drew from he top eight Cards which we had drawn. He then turned to Skeptic, and with a good natured smile in.piired whether he had aiv idea how that trick was done. Our “nil-adtuirari” friend laughed, and said nothing ; but shortly afterwards he was heard to observe, ‘‘Curious, ain’t it?” Tnis trick gave rise to a good deal of talk and some disputation; hut there was no two opinions about it; it was al lowed by all to be the most complete and inexplicable feat of legerdemain ever witnessed. Trick No. 2 was even more astonishing and incomprehensible. “Ton know,’ said Herr Hermann, addressing the whole party, after some discussion had gone on about the s!eight-of hand performances, “f work by wit and not by witchcraft.” “For wit read trick,” interposed Skeptic. “But what,” continued the conjurer, not heeding the interruption, “supposing I were to interpret your thoughts—to know what was passing through your minds? “That, indeed, would be a trick above natural magic,” I exclaimed. Skeptic tilled his glass and winked at his neighbor, as if to say, “I know all about it. “We j shall see,” said Herr Hermann. ‘‘Nor, i each of you two gentlemen,’’ he went on, j speaking to his two right hand guests, ; ‘think of a card; I do not ask you to i touch one; and taking up the puck, he 1 threw the cards upwards on the table. ; The choice was quickly made. Mr. Her m mu recovered the cards, shuffled them and spread them out as before. “The card, he said, "one of you thought of is .here; the card the other thought of is absent.” The gentlemen searched. One of the cards selected was not to be seen—the other was found. “So tar so good.” exclaimed Herr Hermann ; “but the trick is only half done.” The con jurer took the cards again, shuffled them as before, and exposed them on tue table. “Npw,” he cried, “the illusion is reversed. The missing card reappears, and the card thought of that was present i. not to be found. Search!” And such was the case. The card had come and gone at the bidding of the magician, who seemed to exercise a mental rather than a physical influence over them. Wonder was expressed in every countenance, and Skeptic annoyed because be was foiled, drank off an additional bumper to qualify him for elucidation. A moment’s consideration of this trick must satisfy anybody of its extreme clev erness and incomprehensibility. The only possible solution that offers itself is in the supposition that the conjurer, by some process of his own, was enabled to follow the eyes of t ho gentlemen in their direc tion to the cards spread on the table, and to mark those they made choice of. — j Knowing the cards, of course an expert practitioner would find no difficulty in manipulating them as he pleased; and getting rid of a card and returning it to the pack, contrived with whatever rapid ity, is no extraordinary feat of legcrue main. Ascertaining to a certainty the cards upon which two persons have thrown a glance for the shortest possible space of time, it must be allowed, one of the most remarkable and puzzlingachieve ments of the conjurer’s art, and may be termed its crowning feat. I do not as sert that it was by this process Herr Hermann ascertained the cards his two guests thought of; but if not thus I can c mceive no other method by which he made them known to him, tinless, indeed it wore veritable witchcraft Some ten or fifteen minutes had pass ed, and the conversation was about to elapse into eeneralities, when our host rose from his seat, and, taking from the table the cards, went to the other end of the room. “I want to ask your opinion of a trick which, no doubt, you have of ten seen —your opinion is to how I do it. Will you oblige me by taking a card?” "Would yod allow me to suggest the un opened pack of cards?’’ inquired friend Skeptic, looking round him with an air bf wisdom. "Certainly,” answered Herr Hermann, “open the untouched pack yourself, and then give it to me, ” Skep tic removed the envelope from the pack, and scrutinized the cards carefully. The eves of the company were now fixed on the pair, and no one spoke. Skeptic, having satisfied himself that the cards had undergone “no preparation,” hand ed them to tho conjurer. “Take a card,” said the latter. It was done. “Now take the pack in j’our hands, put the card back, and shuffle.” Skeptic did as he was told, and smiled as he shuffled the cards in a variety of waj r s. “It would be difficult would it not” asked Herr Hermann, “to tell you the card you drew?” “Rather!” ejacuated Skeptic. “What if I were to do more, and make you draw again the same card?” “1 should like to lay ten pounds to a half crown on that.” “Keep your money, my friend, I don't want to rob you ; give me tho cards.” He took the cards from Skeptic, and, shuffling them,said : “This time when you draw the card do not let anybody see it, nor say what it is until I ask you. I must do my trick after my own fashion. Draw!” He drew. “Now place the card on the table back upwards, and cover it with your hand, holding it tightly.” Skeptic did as he was desired. “Now, sir, is not that card the one which you drew first ?” “Certainly not!” exclaimed Skeptic loudly and triumphantly. “Indeed!” cried Hermann, “there must be some mistake.” “Of course there is,” rejoin ed the guest, “but it was your mistake !” and lie laughed with much glee. “Are you sure?” “Positive.” “Name the cards.” “I drew the Queen of Spades, first, and this under my hand is the Nine of Diamonds.” “Lot mo look at it.” Skeptic took away his hand, turned the card, ami beheld—the Queen of Spades. An explosion of laughter, at Skeptic’s expense, was followed by a volley of cheers for this wonderfully clever feat ol sleight of-hand, if indeed it was so, for 1 was utterly at a loss at the time—and am now, when I think of it —to account for the manner in which it was accomplished. Many other tricks were exhibited in the course of the evening, hut those re lated above were decidedly the newest and he-t, although some of the others would have made a common conjuror’s fortune. Several times Herr Hermann held out a pack of cards, and named be forehand the card any one of us would draw, iu spite of every effort on our part to foil him, and this without failing in any one instance. Of course “passing a card ” is one of the commonest tncks in card jugglery ; but to “pass a card’’ and to name it beforehand, and “pass” it on the company so “cunning of fence” and so wary as ours, was a different mat ter. Better than “passing the card” with such magical dexterity—which we know is achieved by rapidity and neatness of lingering—was the trick with the pear, which, indeed, was as inconceivable as any thing shown that evening. One of the party was asked by the conjurer to to take a pear from the table and mark it then to cut a slice trom it, to eat the slice and hand the pear to Herr Hermann. This was done, and the pear handed to the conjurer, who, on taking it in his, hand, threw it up towards tiie ceiling, caught it as it fell, and returned it sound and whole to the gentleman, who declar ed it was the same pear he had marked and from which he had cut the slice. A Friohful Affair. — A man Falls into the Swill Vat oj u Distillery, ami is so I,'iilly Boiled that he dies. Dierieh Nipper, a milk pedlar of this city, died this morning at an early hour from the effects of an injury he received at O’Neil’s distillery on Tuesday evening. It is the practice of the milk men to go to the vat for swill, which comes boiling hot from the distillery. On Tuesday evening, Nipper went there as was his custom, and while dipping our lb bu. - iug mass his foot slipped ond he fell into the vat, the mass covering his body to the neck. There was nobody about the distillery at the time, but Nipper's ago nizing cries brought help from the out side and he was taken out and to his home in the Bth ward, about half a mile from the distillery. The unfortunate man was burned or hoi'ed in the most fearful manner. The flesh fairly dropped from his body in large masses, and his sufferings were intense. This morning death relieved him. Nipper was 46 years of age, a German who has lived in this country tor many years, and leaves a wife and wo children. He was a man highly respected by all who knew him. — Milicaukc.e Wisconsin. “,1 Complete Pictorial History oj the Times." “The hest, cheapest, an I most successful Family Paper in the Lin on.

Mercurial Diseases, and e*sry taint of the System; Dyspepsia, and these Affections originating in the Derangement ef the Digestive Organs ; viz.. Bilious Complaints, Neuralgia, and Nervous Af fections, Headache, Languor, and Depres sion of Spirits, Loss of Appetite, Consti pation. THIS excellent medicinal compound was first prepared by Dr. J. W. POLAND, in 1847. nod was then employed with great success expelling humors from the blood; but in 1848 a medical friend who was quits celebrated as a physi cian, especially in the treatment of humors, gested some important improvements, which vrsrs adopted, and which has made it (so the people say) the very best remedy for all kinds of humor, known to “ the faculty.” This preparation is composed entirely of vegeta bles, among which are Sarsaparilla, Yellow Dock, Noble i’inc, Mandrake, and Oloodroot. When the originator lived in New Hampshire, at Coffstown Centre, for the space of thirty or forty miles around, and in Manchester p articularly, the Humor Doctor was well known aad highly valued for the numerous and wonderful cares which it ef fected. Though manufactured in huge quantities, the supply was frequently exhausicd, and purchas ers had to wait for more to be made. In that re gion, some very severe cases of Erysipelas were treated with, —and they were cured! Erysipelas sores, or carbuncles, —those ugly, painful ulcer*, were entirely removed wherever this medicine was faithfully used. So it was with Scrofula and Salt-Khcum. The Humor Doctor cured them. It is/ree from any dangerous drugs, is pleasant to the taste, safe, yet sure and effective In it action, PREPARED AT THE FEW-ENGLAND BOTANIC DE?OX\ And for sale by all Dealers in Medicine. C .
