Tue Biack Art.—Every one has seen or heard of the great Robert Houdin. Besides being the prince of conjurers, he is an able mathematician and mechanician; and his electric clock, made for the Hotel de Ville of his own native town of Blois, obtained a medal at the Paris Exhibition. It is not generally known that he was sent to Algeria by the French Government on a mission connected with the black art— probably the first time that a conjurer has been called upon to exercise his profession in Government employ. Some details of his expedition have just been published Its object was to destroy the influenee exercised among the Arab tribes by the marabouts, an influence often mischievously applied. By a few clumsy tricks and impostures, these marabouts pass themselves off as sorcerers; and no one, it was justly thought, was better able to eclipse their skill and discredit their scieuce than the man of inexhaustible bottles. One of the great pretentions of the marabout was invulnerable. At the momen: a loaded musket was fired at him, and the trigger pulled, he pronounced a cabalistic word and the weapon did not go off. Hound in detected the trick, and showed that the touchole was plugged. The Arab wizard was furious. and abused his French rival. “You may avenge yourself,” quietly replied Houdin; “take a pistol, load it yourself—here are bullets, put one in the barrel—bnt before doing so mark it with your knife.” The Arab did as he was told. “You are quite certain now,” said Houdin, “that the pistol is loaded and will go off. Tell me, do you feel no remorse in killin me thus, notwithstanding that I authorize you?’ “You are my enemy,” coldly replied the Arab ; “I will kill you.” Without replying, Houdin stuck an apple on the point of a knife. and calmly gave the word to fire. The pistol was discharged, the apple flew far away, aud there appeared in its place, stuck on the point of the knife, the bullet the marabout had marked. The spectators remained mute from stupefaction; the marabout bowed before his superior. “Allah is great!” he said; “I am vanquished.”” Instead of the bottle, from which in Europe, Robert Houdin pours an endless stream of every description of wine and liquors, he called for an empty bowl, which he kept continually full of boiling coffee; but few of the Arabs would taste it, for they made sure that it came direct from the devil’s own coffee pot. He then told them that it was in his power to deprive them of all strength, and to restore it to them at will, and he produced a small box, so light that a child could lift it with its finger; but it suddenly became so heavy that the strongest man present could not raise it, and the Arabs, who prize physical strength above everything, looked with terror on the great magician, who, they doubted not, could annihilate them by the mere exertion of his will. They expressed this belief ; Houdin confirmed them in it, and promised that. ona day appointed, he would convert one of them into smoke. The day came, the throng was prodigious; a fanatical marabout had agreed to give himself up to the sorcerer. ‘They made him stand on a table and covered him with a transparent gauze; then Houdin and another person lifted the table by the two ends, and the Arab disappeared in a cloud of smokeThe terror of the spectators was indescribable ; they rushed out of the place. and ran a long distance before some of the boldest thought of returning to look after the marabout. They found him near the place where he had been evaporated, but he could tell them nothing, and was like a drunkHE NEVADA JOURNAL. WHOLE NUMBER 397 > en man, ignorant of what had happened to him. Thenceforward Houdin was venerated and the marabouts were despised ; the object of the French Government was completely attained. The fashion of testimoniale having, it appears, infected even the Arabs, a number of chiefs presented the great French conjurer with a piece of Arab writing, wonderfully decorated, hyperbolical and eulogistic, and to which they were so attentive as to append a French translation. Besides this memorial of his Algerine trip, Houdin has a rosary which he one day borrowed from an Arab to perform a trick with, and which the owner, persuaded that Sheitan in person was before him, refused to receive back—Paris Correspondence of the London Times. Ir was the first cold storm of the winter, the beginning of that bitter snap that fastened on us, like the bite of the tiger, just before New Year’s I was walking hurriedly up Chatham street, in the edge of the evening, on an errand. that called me for the only time within a year into that quarter of the city. As! passed one of the many saloons, shows, theaters, and temples of so-called pleasure with which that locality abounds, a rough doorkeeper was pushing a beggarwoman out of the porch into the street and the storm. She made no other resistance than to turn a despairing look upon him as he thrust her along by the shoulder, and to beg that she might stand out of the cold awhile, for she was almost perished. He hurried her on, and the words that ¢auzht my ear, as they fell from her skinny lips and hissed through the wind and snow, were these, “Well, may be you'll want to get into heaven, and God will put you out of that.” They cut me to the heart. Many a time had I turned a deaf ear to the ery for mercy, and if I had never turned a poor creature out of doors when she wanted shelter from the blast of winter I had done worse, perhaps, in leaving many a wretch to perish whom I might have sought and saved. And the time will come, as sure as the days and years are passing, the time will come when I shall stand at the door of Heaven, and, poorer than this starved beggar, I shall ask to be taken in. I wonder if God will turn me out in that day! Then came to me those sweet words of Jesus, that fell from his lips when he sat on Judea’s hill, and the disciples gathered at his feet, “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.” Down through eighteen centuries they have come to me, and they sing at my heart's door to-day wilh the music of heaven in their silvery tones, and whene’er a cup of cold water, or a loaf, or a piece of gold is mercy, if it is mine, it shall be given in the name of Him who said, “Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, ye have done it unto me.” Tae Unirep States anp VENEZUELa.—It is stated that some very decided measures will be taken against Venezuela, to obtain redress from that Government, long delayed, against American citizens. of this trouble is as follows : In the year 1854, a party of sixty Americans, who owned and occupied an island called “Avis Island,” more than 300 miles from the Venezuelan coast. and who were quietly engaged in collecting guano, were forcibly expelied from the island by order of the Venezuelan Government, their property sold, and the proceeds appropriated by the perpetrators of the outrage. Representations were immediately made to the Venezuelan authorities by the U. 3. Minister at Caraccas, ot the lawless nature of the seizure of the island, and the robbery of the property of American citizens, whose occupation of the island} and prosecution of their business, had been sanctioned by the United States ; but these representations have been persistently disregarded, although frequently and urgently renewed. It is rumored that, in ease the peremptory summons which our Minister has been instructed to deliver to the executive at Caraceas, be d'sregarded, a vessel of war will be ordered to continue the negotiation at the point where diplomacy has failed, and to make seizures of Venezuelan property in satistaction of the debt due to our fellow-citizens for damage and loss in consequence of the act of Senor Plana. for outrages The origin ASSISTANCE FROM Provipexce.—A good old Connecticut deacon was attaching a very feeble pair of oxen to a very large and heavy load of wood. A neighbor asked him how he expected to get so large a load to market with so poor a team. The good deacon replied that he expected to have some assistance from Divine Providence. His neighbor asked him whether it would not be as well to dispense entirely with the oxen, and let Divine Providence draw the whole load. The Paris Courier says that Mrs. Reardon. a young American widow of almost boundless resources, who will hereafter reside in that city, is the original of Flora McFlimsey, in Butler's admirable satirical poem of Nothing to Wear. Mrs. Thomas Francis Meagher, (formerly Miss Townsend) one of the most beautiful and accomplished women of our country, sailed for France recently, Paul Hayne, Esq , of Charlestou, S C, has “Sapho,” a poetical work, ready for the press; and H. H. Caldwell, Esq., another South Carolina poet, has nearly completed a second volume. Cora De Wilhurst, who made so much stir in the musical world in the Atlantic States, last season, has been left an immense fortnne. TREATMENT OF SatLors.—How the pele is sometimes treated may be earned from the following extract from the Rev. Mr. Taylor's “Seven Years’ Preaching in San Francisco.” This vook gives some graphic descriptions of the wrongs perpetrated on the sailor: ” When the sailor’s bill at the boardi house runs up to cover the “advance, the landlord says to him, “Jack, you must ship.” “I won't do it,” says Jack. “You shall do it; you owe me a hundred dollars, and you must either pa me to-day or go to séa in the ship Chat. lenge.” ' “O, I don’t want to go to sea yet,” says Jack. O, well, never mind.” says the landlord ; “you're a clever fellow, and you may stay at my house as long as you please, and pay me when you get ready. Come, let’s take a drink.” Jack, very glad to be on sueh good terms with the landlord, walks up to the bar, and drinks to the health of his master, In ten minutes he is as insensible as alog. When he recovers from his mysterious sleep he is out of sight of landHe is awakened by a stern command: “Wake up here, and go to work !” The poor fellow, rubbing his eyes inquires : “What ship is this ?Whither bound?” “Hong Kong.” “How did I get here ?” “Why, you shipped, sir,’ mnaster. “T never shipped in this ship.” “Yes, vou did, sir, and you must go te work without any more grumbling,” re plies the captain, sternly. “T want to see the articles.” says the sailor. “Well, sir, here they are. your nate 7” “My name is John Waters.” “There it is, written on the articles in two places, once by the lardlord, and once by the shipping master.”’ “I never signed those articles,’ replies John. “No,” replies the master, ‘you Were too drunk to write your name, but there’s your mark.” John puts his hand to his head and studies a moment, and says: “I want my advance before I goto work; how much was I to get ?” “One Lundred and twenty-five dollars for the run, paid in advance,” replies the captain, ‘‘and here’s your account from the shipping office; your bill with the bcarding master took one hundred dollars, leaving me twenty-five, which he handed me to give you when you get sober.” John takes the twenty-five dollars and goesto work. ‘But you ask what did the landshark give to the sailor te take away his senses so suddenly 2” It was a compound of whisky, brandy, gin, rum and opium, which, if a man drinks, he sinks into the lethean stream for a dozen hours. But the kidnappers practice not alone on seamen. Here is a case from the same volume: A landlord, lacking a man to make up a crew, met a German glazier on Long Whart, with a pack of glass on his back, and said to him: “Hie, my good fellow, don’t you want a job?” “Yes, sir.” “I want you,” said the sharp, ‘to put some glass in the stern of that ship,”’ pointing to a ship in the stream. “Jump into my boat here, and i'll take you on board.” So off they went. As the German sat in the tern of the boat, much pleased with the prospect of a good job, the shark said to him, “Will you have a cigar, sir 2” “¥ 6a;!? So the glazier sat and puffed away as he used to do in his Faderlam , but be fore they reached the ship he tumbled over in the bottom of the boat. The shark threw his pack of glass into the bay and running alongside, hailed—“On deck there! tower away and haul up thisman!’’ A rope was lashed around him and he was hauled up. The shark ran into the eaptain’s office, saying, “Captain, I’ve got a first rate sailor here; he’sa little boozy to-day, but he'll be all right to-morrow ;” and got bis advance. The poor German waxed up at sea, with a longer job than he had engaged for, and the worst of the business. he must uot only work for nothing but be kicked and cuffed through the whole voyage for having the presumption to impose himself as an able sea man, when he knew nothing about the business. The cigar was drugged. On ore occasion a shoemaker stepped to the bar to take a drink, and waked up the next day at sea, and did not get back to his business for nine months. ’ says the What is A Fix.—The other day, as Chang and Eng, the Siamese twins, were going to Charleston, the conductor made a fuss because they did not cach have a tick et. The gentleman who had charge of them said that they had always been carried on the ticket of a single passenger. The conductor replied that they were two persons and occupied two seats; they must, therefore, pay two passages. ‘Very well,’’said the gentleman, “I will give the ticket to Chan and you can put Eng off the cars.’”’ This brought the conductor to his senses, and he “knocked under.” Dr. BERNHISEL.—The Mormon delegate in Congress, Dr. Bernhisel, the question of whose excommunication is agitating that patriotic conclave, is described as a little old man with a bald head, spectacles, and so near-sighted that when he writes he is obliged to bend very low upon his desk, and almost touch his paper with his nose. It is not known of how many wives Dr. Bernhisel is proprietor, but the members of Congress seem to be very envious of the old . fellow. nell fl

Tue Biack Art.—Every one has seen or heard of the great Robert Houdin. Besides being the prince of conjurers, he is an able mathematician and mechanician; and his electric clock, made for the Hotel de Ville of his own native town of Blois, obtained a medal at the Paris Exhibition. It is not generally known that he was sent to Algeria by the French Government on a mission connected with the black art— probably the first time that a conjurer has been called upon to exercise his profession in Government employ. Some details of his expedition have just been published Its object was to destroy the influenee exercised among the Arab tribes by the marabouts, an influence often mischievously applied. By a few clumsy tricks and impostures, these marabouts pass themselves off as sorcerers; and no one, it was justly thought, was better able to eclipse their skill and discredit their scieuce than the man of inexhaustible bottles. One of the great pretentions of the marabout was invulnerable. At the momen: a loaded musket was fired at him, and the trigger pulled, he pronounced a cabalistic word and the weapon did not go off. Hound in detected the trick, and showed that the touchole was plugged. The Arab wizard was furious. and abused his French rival. “You may avenge yourself,” quietly replied Houdin; “take a pistol, load it yourself—here are bullets, put one in the barrel—bnt before doing so mark it with your knife.” The Arab did as he was told. “You are quite certain now,” said Houdin, “that the pistol is loaded and will go off. Tell me, do you feel no remorse in killin me thus, notwithstanding that I authorize you?’ “You are my enemy,” coldly replied the Arab ; “I will kill you.” Without replying, Houdin stuck an apple on the point of a knife. and calmly gave the word to fire. The pistol was discharged, the apple flew far away, aud there appeared in its place, stuck on the point of the knife, the bullet the marabout had marked. The spectators remained mute from stupefaction; the marabout bowed before his superior. “Allah is great!” he said; “I am vanquished.”” Instead of the bottle, from which in Europe, Robert Houdin pours an endless stream of every description of wine and liquors, he called for an empty bowl, which he kept continually full of boiling coffee; but few of the Arabs would taste it, for they made sure that it came direct from the devil’s own coffee pot. He then told them that it was in his power to deprive them of all strength, and to restore it to them at will, and he produced a small box, so light that a child could lift it with its finger; but it suddenly became so heavy that the strongest man present could not raise it, and the Arabs, who prize physical strength above everything, looked with terror on the great magician, who, they doubted not, could annihilate them by the mere exertion of his will. They expressed this belief ; Houdin confirmed them in it, and promised that. ona day appointed, he would convert one of them into smoke. The day came, the throng was prodigious; a fanatical marabout had agreed to give himself up to the sorcerer. ‘They made him stand on a table and covered him with a transparent gauze; then Houdin and another person lifted the table by the two ends, and the Arab disappeared in a cloud of smokeThe terror of the spectators was indescribable ; they rushed out of the place. and ran a long distance before some of the boldest thought of returning to look after the marabout. They found him near the place where he had been evaporated, but he could tell them nothing, and was like a drunkHE NEVADA JOURNAL. WHOLE NUMBER 397 > en man, ignorant of what had happened to him. Thenceforward Houdin was venerated and the marabouts were despised ; the object of the French Government was completely attained. The fashion of testimoniale having, it appears, infected even the Arabs, a number of chiefs presented the great French conjurer with a piece of Arab writing, wonderfully decorated, hyperbolical and eulogistic, and to which they were so attentive as to append a French translation. Besides this memorial of his Algerine trip, Houdin has a rosary which he one day borrowed from an Arab to perform a trick with, and which the owner, persuaded that Sheitan in person was before him, refused to receive back—Paris Correspondence of the London Times. Ir was the first cold storm of the winter, the beginning of that bitter snap that fastened on us, like the bite of the tiger, just before New Year’s I was walking hurriedly up Chatham street, in the edge of the evening, on an errand. that called me for the only time within a year into that quarter of the city. As! passed one of the many saloons, shows, theaters, and temples of so-called pleasure with which that locality abounds, a rough doorkeeper was pushing a beggarwoman out of the porch into the street and the storm. She made no other resistance than to turn a despairing look upon him as he thrust her along by the shoulder, and to beg that she might stand out of the cold awhile, for she was almost perished. He hurried her on, and the words that ¢auzht my ear, as they fell from her skinny lips and hissed through the wind and snow, were these, “Well, may be you'll want to get into heaven, and God will put you out of that.” They cut me to the heart. Many a time had I turned a deaf ear to the ery for mercy, and if I had never turned a poor creature out of doors when she wanted shelter from the blast of winter I had done worse, perhaps, in leaving many a wretch to perish whom I might have sought and saved. And the time will come, as sure as the days and years are passing, the time will come when I shall stand at the door of Heaven, and, poorer than this starved beggar, I shall ask to be taken in. I wonder if God will turn me out in that day! Then came to me those sweet words of Jesus, that fell from his lips when he sat on Judea’s hill, and the disciples gathered at his feet, “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.” Down through eighteen centuries they have come to me, and they sing at my heart's door to-day wilh the music of heaven in their silvery tones, and whene’er a cup of cold water, or a loaf, or a piece of gold is mercy, if it is mine, it shall be given in the name of Him who said, “Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, ye have done it unto me.” Tae Unirep States anp VENEZUELa.—It is stated that some very decided measures will be taken against Venezuela, to obtain redress from that Government, long delayed, against American citizens. of this trouble is as follows : In the year 1854, a party of sixty Americans, who owned and occupied an island called “Avis Island,” more than 300 miles from the Venezuelan coast. and who were quietly engaged in collecting guano, were forcibly expelied from the island by order of the Venezuelan Government, their property sold, and the proceeds appropriated by the perpetrators of the outrage. Representations were immediately made to the Venezuelan authorities by the U. 3. Minister at Caraccas, ot the lawless nature of the seizure of the island, and the robbery of the property of American citizens, whose occupation of the island} and prosecution of their business, had been sanctioned by the United States ; but these representations have been persistently disregarded, although frequently and urgently renewed. It is rumored that, in ease the peremptory summons which our Minister has been instructed to deliver to the executive at Caraceas, be d'sregarded, a vessel of war will be ordered to continue the negotiation at the point where diplomacy has failed, and to make seizures of Venezuelan property in satistaction of the debt due to our fellow-citizens for damage and loss in consequence of the act of Senor Plana. for outrages The origin ASSISTANCE FROM Provipexce.—A good old Connecticut deacon was attaching a very feeble pair of oxen to a very large and heavy load of wood. A neighbor asked him how he expected to get so large a load to market with so poor a team. The good deacon replied that he expected to have some assistance from Divine Providence. His neighbor asked him whether it would not be as well to dispense entirely with the oxen, and let Divine Providence draw the whole load. The Paris Courier says that Mrs. Reardon. a young American widow of almost boundless resources, who will hereafter reside in that city, is the original of Flora McFlimsey, in Butler's admirable satirical poem of Nothing to Wear. Mrs. Thomas Francis Meagher, (formerly Miss Townsend) one of the most beautiful and accomplished women of our country, sailed for France recently, Paul Hayne, Esq , of Charlestou, S C, has “Sapho,” a poetical work, ready for the press; and H.

Cora De Wilhurst, who made so much stir in the musical world in the Atlantic States, last season, has been left an immense fortnne. TREATMENT OF SatLors.—How the pele is sometimes treated may be earned from the following extract from the Rev. Mr. Taylor's “Seven Years’ Preaching in San Francisco.” This vook gives some graphic descriptions of the wrongs perpetrated on the sailor: ” When the sailor’s bill at the boardi house runs up to cover the “advance, the landlord says to him, “Jack, you must ship.” “I won't do it,” says Jack. “You shall do it; you owe me a hundred dollars, and you must either pa me to-day or go to séa in the ship Chat. lenge.” ' “O, I don’t want to go to sea yet,” says Jack. O, well, never mind.” says the landlord ; “you're a clever fellow, and you may stay at my house as long as you please, and pay me when you get ready. Come, let’s take a drink.” Jack, very glad to be on sueh good terms with the landlord, walks up to the bar, and drinks to the health of his master, In ten minutes he is as insensible as alog. When he recovers from his mysterious sleep he is out of sight of landHe is awakened by a stern command: “Wake up here, and go to work !” The poor fellow, rubbing his eyes inquires : “What ship is this ?Whither bound?” “Hong Kong.” “How did I get here ?” “Why, you shipped, sir,’ mnaster. “T never shipped in this ship.” “Yes, vou did, sir, and you must go te work without any more grumbling,” re plies the captain, sternly. “T want to see the articles.” says the sailor. “Well, sir, here they are. your nate 7” “My name is John Waters.” “There it is, written on the articles in two places, once by the lardlord, and once by the shipping master.”’ “I never signed those articles,’ replies John. “No,” replies the master, ‘you Were too drunk to write your name, but there’s your mark.” John puts his hand to his head and studies a moment, and says: “I want my advance before I goto work; how much was I to get ?” “One Lundred and twenty-five dollars for the run, paid in advance,” replies the captain, ‘‘and here’s your account from the shipping office; your bill with the bcarding master took one hundred dollars, leaving me twenty-five, which he handed me to give you when you get sober.” John takes the twenty-five dollars and goesto work. ‘But you ask what did the landshark give to the sailor te take away his senses so suddenly 2” It was a compound of whisky, brandy, gin, rum and opium, which, if a man drinks, he sinks into the lethean stream for a dozen hours. But the kidnappers practice not alone on seamen. Here is a case from the same volume: A landlord, lacking a man to make up a crew, met a German glazier on Long Whart, with a pack of glass on his back, and said to him: “Hie, my good fellow, don’t you want a job?” “Yes, sir.” “I want you,” said the sharp, ‘to put some glass in the stern of that ship,”’ pointing to a ship in the stream. “Jump into my boat here, and i'll take you on board.” So off they went. As the German sat in the tern of the boat, much pleased with the prospect of a good job, the shark said to him, “Will you have a cigar, sir 2” “¥ 6a;!? So the glazier sat and puffed away as he used to do in his Faderlam , but be fore they reached the ship he tumbled over in the bottom of the boat. The shark threw his pack of glass into the bay and running alongside, hailed—“On deck there! tower away and haul up thisman!’’ A rope was lashed around him and he was hauled up. The shark ran into the eaptain’s office, saying, “Captain, I’ve got a first rate sailor here; he’sa little boozy to-day, but he'll be all right to-morrow ;” and got bis advance. The poor German waxed up at sea, with a longer job than he had engaged for, and the worst of the business. he must uot only work for nothing but be kicked and cuffed through the whole voyage for having the presumption to impose himself as an able sea man, when he knew nothing about the business. The cigar was drugged. On ore occasion a shoemaker stepped to the bar to take a drink, and waked up the next day at sea, and did not get back to his business for nine months. ’ says the What is A Fix.—The other day, as Chang and Eng, the Siamese twins, were going to Charleston, the conductor made a fuss because they did not cach have a tick et. The gentleman who had charge of them said that they had always been carried on the ticket of a single passenger. The conductor replied that they were two persons and occupied two seats; they must, therefore, pay two passages. ‘Very well,’’said the gentleman, “I will give the ticket to Chan and you can put Eng off the cars.’”’ This brought the conductor to his senses, and he “knocked under.” Dr. BERNHISEL.—The Mormon delegate in Congress, Dr. Bernhisel, the question of whose excommunication is agitating that patriotic conclave, is described as a little old man with a bald head, spectacles, and so near-sighted that when he writes he is obliged to bend very low upon his desk, and almost touch his paper with his nose. It is not known of how many wives Dr. Bernhisel is proprietor, but the members of Congress seem to be very envious of the old . fellow. nell fl
