Mesmerizing. '
Cbiriski as a mesmerizer seems to be
a success. At Tucker Hall last night he
got several little boys, sons of promi
nent citizens in the city, on the stage,
and soon had them under his control
Said he, as he lined them out, sitting in
chairs, "iNow, boys, if you laugti or
talk, I can do nothing with you ; you
-pMist sil still and look at something;
if4k at your foot." Then he took hold
of tfteir thumbs, passed bis hands over
their faces and heads, and soon the
little fellows, who were so timid and
blushing when they went up there, that
they wouldn't bow to the audience, had
their coats off and lying flat on their
stomachs were kicking and paddling
about the stage, imagining they were in
swimming. Then they wanted to dance,
and you never saw such capers as they
cut. There is no disputing the power
of mesmerism. For instance, our Busi
ness Manager, as steady as an old clock,
and who never talks unless on bus!
nesov says lhat-tWenty years ago a mes
merizer, named Williams, put him un
dcr the influence, andfte imagined that
be. was 'Henry Clay, and actually told
the aiiatence that " he couldn't talk to
them that night as he felt tired after so
much travelling, but if they would
wait for some future time, ha would
address thvm." We .would just have
given a whole weekis- salary to have seen
ouroid Iriend on that night.
Entei?laiiimeiit at the Institu
tion for the Deaf and Dumb
and the Blind Colored De
partment.
.We had the pleasure of witnessing,
last evening, what the Principal, Mr.
Tomiinson, called simply an entertain
ment, but what we would pronounce a
fair exhibition, of the proficiency of the
pupils of the colored department of this
institution.
The colored portion of the unfortu
nates of the State have been without
4he benefits of this great charity until
within the past four years.
The exercises were opened with
prayer in the sign language ; then fol
lowed anthems and solos and choruses
' lie shall feed his Flock,' 4 Gates Ajar,'
4 Allie Ray,' &cM sung well, with organ
accompaniment by the accomplished
Miss Sage. Several .humorous pieces
also were sung, eliciting applause.
The mutes exhibited prohciencv in
the various branches which they are
taught, working sumain the lundamen-
tal parts of arithmetic with great ra
pidity, readily framing sentences upon
skeletons of the verb and proposition,
and writing in English, under the signs,
upon the blackboard, correct sentences,
the variations of the verb being pro
perly given. Questions in Scripture
were answered correctly.
The entertainment was satisfactory to
the public and hmhly creditable to Mr.
Tomiinson and all others concerned.
At the conclusion oi the exercises
upon the suggestion of His Excellency
Governor Caldwell, a collection was
taken up for the purpose of giving a
supper to the pupils. -
There are from seventy-five to one
hundred colored mules and blind in the
State of the proper age for school.
The Washington Domestics.
The Scriptures inform us that at one
particular age of the world and state of
society, 44 three score and ten " years
were allotted to men ; that at a preced
ing period, surrounded by more favora
ble circumstances, it was ordained that
his days should be 44 one hundred and
twenty years." Haller collected most
of the cases of longevity known in
Europe in his time. The oldest person
given by him was Numes de Cugna,
who reached the age of 370. In the
United States Joice Heath, we believe,
stands at the head of his profession. He
is said to have died at the age of 162
years. Numerous centennarians are
being Chronicled every day, particularly
of that class known to the reading pub
lic as the" nurses and old servants of the
lamented George Washington But
none as yet have crawled up to the top
notch of Joice Heath afe.162. The oldest
servant of George Washington being the
last mentioned the other day, by J the
Milton Chronicle, as dying in, Caswell,
county at the age of 112 years. His
name being Basil "Lea, and a little deaf,
a tree as it was falling fell the way he
held his head and it was too much for
him to head. He had to die. Basil was
sold in Richmond when ho was 12
j-ears old by his old 44 mars" George,
and the Lea family in Caswell bought
him. It is not impossible for another
nurse or old servant of 5 the late Mr.
Washington to crawl over Basil's lon
gevity, and, , in fact, Joice Heath at 162
may yet be'outstripped by; one of this
large and peculiar class of Mr. and Mrs.
Washington's domestics who are daily
coming into the paragraph . death mar
ket, loaded with ripe old years.

was a country darkey who had just sold
six aozen iresn eggs to tne colored
hucksters. We gave Hicks the wink
and he took it. One of the eggs chanced
to be a little cracked. Hicks took it
up. Looked at it. "Good egg, I reck
on?" said he. ,40, yes sah, nice an'

sters into it and they paid him -for the
eggs. While HLks had wrapped up
the cracked egg in some cotton and told
the old darkey to keep it warm, or the
chicken would die. Hicks is a genius.

The Macric Ijantern in Hills
boro.
Yes. We always go to them. These
shows and things. But lots of people
don't appear to appreciate them the
right kind. Now one come to Hillsboro
the other week and showed in the Court
House. It was a young man vyith
a
wooden leg who run it, and he had
panorama of Bible scenes along. The
light was the 'dimmest sort, being this
old tallow candle kind, and you couldn't
see with comfort, but he talked 'em orf
so nice that it was worth the money to
hear him. "There is Adam and Eve and
the serpent in the garden." ("Whar is
the snaik?" shouted one or two fellows
in the audience, "I don't see it.") But
while he was pointing the thing out, it
slipped off in the dark, and Joseph and
his Brethren made their appearance.
They all looked mighty dim, and an
old lady shoved our hat off with the end
of her bonnet, stretching over our
skoulders, to see it better. "Which is
Joseph?" shouted one fellow with a
cha, w of tobacco in his mouth, and the old
woman said to us, "That is what J say,
which is heV But the wooden leg man
did pass it off so pleasant. He said in a
mild voice", "That one there, is Joseph,
ladies and gentlemen, the one that yew
see weeping." xnis seemea to satisiy
everybody, though one young man in
a far corner, who had just got back from
Baltimore, where he had been to see the
Front Street Theatre, sung out : "Not for
Joseph, if he knows it." And the whole
audience cheered him splendid. We
think such shows as this should visit
every country town. Their teeth are
on edge for entertainments, and it's a
kind of soothing syrup to them.

The Cleaveland saddler and
Mrs. Huggei, who drew (the twenty
thousand dollars ro.n the;Ietroit lot
tery, kissed for luck, bjefoi ahey bought
the ticket. Here is all about it from the
Cleaveland Tlaindealer :
Matthias Curth is a saddler, who for
sorne time has found heavy debts press
ing him and nothing with which to meet
is obligations. In the same building
where Curth lives, Franklugger keeps
a saloon. une morninsr. about two
weeks ago, Cu rth stepped into the saloon.
He was feeling despondent. He had
read the announcement of the 44 gift
concert" at Detroit. It occurred to him
that it would be a fine thing if he could,
by a small investment, win a rich prize.
He proposed to Mrs. Hugger that ihey
two buv a ticket.
Finally yielding to solicitation, Mrs.
Hugger said she would take a half in
terest with Curth in a ticket. So he and
she kissed for luck, as the German cus
tom is, and the two went down stairs
together to find a place where the tickets
were on sale. Then Curth and Mrs.
ugger kissed -again, to make their
luck more binding, and selected their
partnership ticket, after which they
went home.
On the night before the drawing Curth
dreamed that his partnership ticket had
drawn a prize for 500. The vision
seemed so real that he firmly believed
it would come ti ue, and actually planned
how he.would dispose of his half ($250)
before leaving his room on the folio w-
ej morning. Then he went to the
saloon, and informed Mrs. Hugger of
what he had seen in his dreams. In the
afternoon, in. more than fulfilment of
the dream, Mrs. Hugger received a
telegraphic despatch that this partner
ship ticket had drawn the grand prize,
calling for the handsome sum of $20,000.
