Low- t At the opera House Next Week. Professor MacalliiUr, the .Wizard, is to open aa engagement for a week n this city on Monday night, and promises to asteqnd the natives with his new and wonderful sleight of hamd tricks. Where- ever he has been the press speak (well of him. He was play ing last week.in j Char lestoa and of him the News ds (huritr says: j. ' Prof. J. M. Maealiieter, ths gteat prtf tidigitatenr, opened his engagement at the Hibernian, all last evening to an im mense audience. Every seat was)1 tilled and scores of people were compelled te stand. ! The entertainment was fujl, va ried and wonderful, presenting many en tirely new and original Illusions that baffled the conception of the most J. acute and close ebserver. Maea I lister's Pandora box trick is alone worth the price jef the admission to witness. The Professor has a pleasing presence, and presented his illusions with so. ease and grace which ad ded a charm to their incomprehensibility. He is the most expert and pleasing magician that has visited Charleston in many' a long year After the performance a number ot valuable and useful presents, including a $10 cash prize, werel given away to thosa who had been fortunate enough to dw 3 premium witM their ticaetj, .The ISoss IPuzzle. It is wonderful to note what a hold this puzale has taken on the public mind About two weeks ago the Editor of this paer and a friend -returned from the North, bringing with them each a puzzle, the first seen in Wilmington. At that time it had not gotten as far South as Baltimore and had scarcely begun to be known in Philadelphia. How rapidly the mauia has spread is evidenced by the fact that in two short w.eka it has gone like wild firo everywhere. The awful job is to get out of that 15, 1 position, If there is ak way put it hasi not yet been found although there are maayj who claim to have worked it out. If they have they bavo not been able to give the solution. A writer in a Richmond daily think it has been found by a youn lady in that pity. E ays i - 'Since so many heads have been at work upon this little puzzle, this solution I send you may, perhaps, prove to.fce not new. jWithayoung lady of our! city, however, who is the author, it is original The rule may be stated thus: Slip the 1 and the 4 to the left and to the right end respectively of the rst line; arfanjte, correspondingly, the $ land tbe 8 in the second, line; the an4 the 12 in thejthird; the 13 and the 16 in the fourth J The eight figures here mentioned., if they be thus arraneedf Will leave the reinjaimng seven in such positions aa that they may, without difficulty, be made to fail into t: eir proper places. Merchants are required to move- their dry goods hcrxes trom the sidewalk within twenty-four hours after tbey are deposiu el and the goods taken out, bat a huck ster, who paya no taxes, can. let his garbage barrels and boxes remain as long as it suits bis convenience. Reyiew. Handsome Quilt. We saw this rooming, at Cnpt. N". H. Sprunt's store, a very h ndnome crohcet bed qailt made by a young lady- of this city who wishes it to be r-fll,cl f .r th benefit of St John's Church. The quilt is a perfect beanty and will prove a cum fort to the one who is lucky enough t( get it. ' Returnatg Good fur Lvll. Fraucen Outlaw, colort'd, had Fanny Brewingtn, colorwl, arreu'etl aud carried before a Magistrate upa peace war rant. But on the trial the plaintiff it the eve failed to Kubstantiate tbe charges made in the warrant, when the case wait dismissed at the prosecutor s costs. The defendant in the case then, in a truly Good Samaritan like spirit, to prevent her prosecutor from beiDg committed to jail paid the costs iu the case. Great Caesar! Yesterday two little boys.one white and the other colored, neither more than 13 or 14 years of age, became engaged in a fisticuff and the little darkey, at the in stance of some one, ran immediately to tbe law shop of J. C. Hill,. J . . P. and swore out a warrant for assault and bat tery and the little white boy was arrested. There were three witnesses examined and the white boy was adjudged guilty and fined $2, and the ccsts $4.74, making a total of cos's and fine $6.75. These figures, it seems to us,are steep for a fight between two little boys and if both fought why were not both fined er repri manded and turned loose? And how can an affray be transformed into a case oi assault and battery? The Debate Last Mgnt The debate between Messrs. G. H. Smith and M. H. Willard, of the Philo matheah . Literary Society, notice of which we have previously given, took place last evening in Munds Hall, on Third street. It was a very Interesting occasion and the attendance was large, select and appreciative. The, question for discussioB was the respective merits as a reformer of !Peter the Great of Russia and Henry VIII of England. Mr. Smith held the affirmative and Mr. Willard the nea tive view ef the question. It was. decided in favor of the negative, after a hand some and spirited debate. Rev. Dr. Wil son, Dr, Tnos.F. Wood and Mr. James Sprunt were the umpires and their decis ion was announced by Dr. Wilson. Next . Tuesday . evening there wiTl be an anniversary celebration by the Philo matheans and on that accasion the prize medal awarded last night to Mr. Willard, as well as an orator's medal contended fjr on a previous occasion, will be awarded. ' Guano in Baleteh. A city correspondent of the Raleigh Observer writes a humorous letter to that paper relative to the guano nuisance in that cityfand corcplains of the intolerat le and offensive smell arising therefrom and penetrating to the most populous portions of the place and calls upon the Board oi Aldermen to abate the nuisance. Hi quotes from the Rkview tbe proceedings ot the Wilmington authorities, whereby it is forbidden ta store aoy such article with in certain limits, ard humorously says of the one vote in opposition, that oast by Alderman Foster that "if he (Foster) would come up here and get some of ours "fostered and developed'' in his system he would go back aad change his vote. ' In continuation of the subject the corres pondent pays a handsome little compli ment to our people which we make no apology for copying here.. He s.-ys: It may be that theirs is not as "red hot" a ours, but, upon reflection, I gueas it muft be, for I heard a Wilmington man say to-day 'tbere were enough good breakfasts spoiled un one moisty morning to fatten evtry cur dog in New Hanover county Somehow or another, I.always did think well ot those Wilmington tulks . They den't know how to be other vise than clever, aid. the more I see of tlwm, the ruore I a3. reminded ef the eld aayib, ''there is a heap iu fellow's raising. ' Tnerraometrieal.
