The Pope and the Conjuror
had
■\Vhen Torrini, the magician .
been giving exhibitions in the princi
pal Italian cities, at the beginning of
the present century, he decided to go
to Home, in the Jiopc that the patron
age of his holiness the Pope woiH give
eclat to his reputation. In tins I.e was
not disappointed. Pius VII., who was,
then the reigning pontiff, having heard
of his performances, did him the honor
to command his attendance at the
Vatican. Being informed tha;; his au-
dicncc at this exhibition would com
prise all the dignitaries of the church,
the magician devoted unusual care to
tile selection of his tricks, but,'after
fixing on his best ones, vainly, racked
his brain to invent something worthy
of his illustrious spectators.
While he was thus perplexed, chance
threw in his way the means of accom
plishing his object Happening to be
in the shop of one of the bes t watch
makers in Borne, the day before that
fixed for the performance, he heard a
lackey, in rich scarlet livery, who had
just come in, ask if hia eminence, the
Cardinal d ’a watch were repaired.
“ It will not he ready till this even
ing,” replied the watch-maker, “ and I
will.do myself the honor of personally
carrying it to your master.”
After the servant had gone, the
tradesman said to Torrini:
“ This a superb watch. His emi
nence tho cardinal, to whom it belongs,
values it at more than ten thousand
francs; for, as it was made by his or
der by tho celebrated Breguet, he na
turally supposes it to be unique of its
kind. Curiously enough, however, it
is only two days ago that a young fel
low belonging to this city offered me a
precisely similar watch, made by the
same artist, for one thousand francs.”
These words made an impression on
Torrini, who, having formed a plan of
op&fUona, mid to the watchmaker:
“ Do you tlnnk this person is still
desirous to dispose of the watch ?
“ I have no doubt of it,” was the re
ply. “ Ke Is a young prodigal, who,
having spent all his fortune, is now
obliged to tell his famous jewels, and
trill be very clad to obtain a thousand
francs.” <
“Biff,' .Ye found F
“Eft. J .^tfljgh—in a gaming-house,
where he passes all his time.”
“ Well,” said the magician, I wish
to procure the watch, but cannot wait
longer than to-day. Please buy it for
me ns soon as possible, and erigravo on
it his eminence's arms, so that there
shall be a precise resemblance between
the two watches, and your profit shal
be proportione 1 to the discretion with
which you conduct the transaction.”
■a The watch-maker, who knew Tor-
|r rini, probably suspected his object in
putseeking possession of the watch, but,
being aware that the magician’s dis
creet management would be assured by
its necessity to his success, had no hes
itation in complying with his request.
“ It will only take a quarter of an
hour to go to the gaming-house, and I
" ‘teing aol
nm confident of being able to procure
it for you.”
In less than the time named the
dealer came back with the chronome
ter in his hand.
“ Here it is !* he exclaimed, with an
air of triumph. “ My man welcomed
me as a providential visitor, and was
so ei\ger to dispose ot the match that he
gave it to ftie without counting the
money. Everything shall bo ready
for you to-night”
That evening the watch-mnkcr
brought tire two chronometers to Tor-
rini, who, after a careful .comparison,
was unable to detect any difference be
tween them. The magician now felt
confident of making a decided hit with
his trick, the preparations for which
were already expensive.
The next day ne went to the pontiff's
palace, and, at a signal given by his
holiness, came upon the stage.
Though Torrini had appeared before
crowned heads, he had never been in
the presence of such on august assem
bly. In the foreground sat Pius VII.
himself, in a large arm-chair, on a
dais, while near him were seated the
cardinals, and behind them were the
various prelates and dignitaries of the
church. The nervousness that the
performer naturally experienced in the
presence of such exalted personages
was allayed by the benevolent expres
sion on the face of the Pope. Reas
sured by his kindly glances. Torrini
commenced:
“ Holy father,” he said, bowing re
spectfully, “ I am about to show you
some experiments to which the name
of “white magic” has been most unjust
ly given. This title was invented by
charlatans to impress the multitude,
but it only signifies a collection of clev
er deceptions, ingeniously contrived to
amuse the imagination.”
rleased with the favorable reception
of his address, Torrini commenced his
performances in excellent spirits,
which were increased by the flattering
compliments of the Pope. In one ot
his. tricks—that of the burnt writing,
which consists of a sentence or two
written by one of the company, who,
after burning the paper, discovers it
intact in a sealed envelope—he had
the satisfaction of procuring an auto
graph from his holiness. On bring
solicited to write a sentence, Pius VII
indited the following:
“ I have much pleasure in stating
that Signor,Torrini is an amiable sor
cerer." 4
The paper was burned, and the skill
"ith which if was mode to appear in
roded euvfclflpe was .appreciated by the
I ope, who gavo the conjurer perrais-
*ion to keep his autograph. It was
n .°F to eodtijo^parforraancerwith
the trick the'
the
had liny peculiarity of ehapo that
would make it easy to identify the one
selected. He then said:
If any gentleman among you has
a watch of rather large size (this was
the peculiarity of the Cardinal’s) he
will confer a great favor by lending it
to me, W it will greatly facilitate my
ament. I need not say that I
be extremely careful of " it. My
object is to prove its superiority, if it
has any, if not, to wonderfully improve
it.”
All eyes were now turned on the
Cardinal, who, as was well Ynown,
prized his chronometer on account of
its nnusnal size; the large case, as he
said, allowing the works to act more
freely. He hesitated, however, to part
with his treasure, till Pius VII. said
to him: -.«» i
“ Cardinal, I fancy yonr watch will
suit exactly ; oblige me by handing it
to Signor Torrini.”
His eminence complied, though not
without numerous precautions. When
the watch was handed to him, Torrini
assumed to be absorbed in admiration
of the works and beautiful chasing, to
which he drew the attention of the
Pope and the Cardinals. Ho then
asked the owner some questions which
elicited the high estimation in which
the owner held his chronometer, which
had been made to his order by the cel
ebrated Breguet. The enthusiasm of
his eminence amused the Pope, who
looked on attentively as Torrini, after
saying that he should prove the solidi
ty and excellent qualities of the watch,
suddenly let it fall to the ground.
Everybody was amazed at the boldness
of this act and the Cardinal, unable to
restrain his indignation, vehemently
exclaimed :
“ You are playing a very sorry jest,
sir.”
“ But, monsigneur,” calmly replied
tho magician, “there Is no cause for
alarm. I only wish to prove to these
gentlemen the perfection of your
watch, and yon may rest assured that
it will not he injured by the trials to
which I may subject it.”
With these words he stamped on
the case, crushing it into, a shapeless
mass. This act still further excited
the fire of the Cardinal; but the.Pope,
who took a more sensible view of the
matter, turned to him and said:
“ Come, Cardinal have you no con
fidence in our sorcerer? For any part,
T laugh like! a child at.it, . being con
vinced there has been some clever sub
stitution.”
Torrini, who was delighted with the
success of his trick, assured h ; s holi
ness that there had been no si Institu
tion, and appealed to the Cardinal for
identification of his watch. The lat
ter, after examining the shapeless frag
ments, and finding his arms engraved
inside the case, acknowledged that it
was indeed his beloved chronometer,
and added in a stem voice:
“ I do not see as how you can escape,
sir ; you should have tried your dan
gerous experiment on some object that
could be replaced, instead of an unique
watch like mine.”
The magician, after declaring that
this circumstance gave him additional
satisfaction, ns it enhanced the credit
of his performance, asked the Cardin
al’s permission to proceed. But the
latter said that, as he had not been
consulted in the destruction of the
watch, he did not care what became of
the fragments.
Having established the identity of
the Cardinal’s chronometer, Torrini’s
next object was, to pass into the Pope’s
pocket the one he had bought the pre
vious evening. As this could not lie
easily done while his holiness remained
seated, the magician hit upon a pre
text to make him rise. Placing a
brass mortar, with an enormous pestle,
upon the table, he threw in the frag
ments of the watch, and began pound
ing furiously. Suddenly a slight de
tonation was heard; a lurid flame shot
up from tho vessel into which Torrini
gazed with an expression of profound
astonishment. Respect for the Pope
prevented the audience from rising;
but his holiness, curious to sec the
cause of the conjurer’s interest, ap
proached the table and looked into tne
mortar.
“ I do not know,” lie said, “whether
it is because the light dazzles my eyes,
but I can distinguish nothing.”
Torrini then begged him to come
round the tahlo and choose a more fa
vorable point of observation, and, as
he moved, dexterously slipped the re
serve watch into his pocket. The Car
dinal’s chronometer, had now been re
duced to a small ingot. Holding it up
before the audience, the magician said:
“ I will now restore this crude mass
to its original shape, and the tranfor-
mation shall take place during its pas-
saga to the pocket of a person who cian-
not be suspected of complicity.”
“ Ah!” said the Pope, with an ex
pression of ocular incredulity; that is
promising a good\ deal What
you do if I asked
pocket t”
“ The orders ofyour holiness shall
be sbeyed,” said Torrini, who, on {re
ceiving’an assenting bod from the
Pope, took the ingot in his fingers,
showed it to the company, and utteted
the word “Pass !”* when it- instantly
disapneared. Pius J1L, with : an
incredulous exprcSsioriofcountenance,
nut his band into hiB pocket. He bad
hardly done so when ne showed signs
of confusion, and, drawing his hand
out, brought with it the watch, which
nesting-’
“ broken watch;” for the expenses of
undertaking .an experiment, which
could never again he repeated under
such favorable auspices, would be war
ranted only by the circumstances
which originally brought together the
Pope and the Conjurer.

First, acquire a knowledge of horses,
so as to know a good house when you
sec one that is a moded. There is
more money lost, and more men are
dfifa—dsd,iwbn>iag ami seHftig hor
ses than in any other product of the
farm. For the last twenty years I have
had all sorts aud shapei of horse-,
from the pony to the Shanghai, and
the greatest weights in the least bulk, is
the animal for service. A horse weigh
ing from 1100 to 1400 pounds is the
animal for farm work. You must
understand what you want an animal
for before you go to buy. One min
ute is long enough to examine the
standing points of a horse. These are:
A good lively eye, inclined to hazel,
and a pleasant countenance ; a flat leg
and open foot; shoulders set rather
hack, and thin at the weathers ; a short
back, and no objection if it slightly
arched ; the proper shape of the hin
der parts depends on what you wish
the horse to perform.
The prevailing blemishes are blind
ness or weak eyes, ringbone, spavin,
hoofhound, curbed or thorough pinned,
stifled, &c., all of which an expert ob
server will detect in one minute’s time.
The heaves is the most difficult to de
tect, as that depends upon the treat
ment the animal has had for a week
previons.
The thumps or palpitating of the
heart may be detected easily bymoving
and exciting the horse, and stopping
him suddenly.
As to the ageof a horse hurting him,
it depends upon how he has been used
until he is six years old. If sound
then, he is good for twelve years ser
vice yet.
Judging the age of a horse by his
mouth is uncertain. You can tell to
a certainty within one year until he is
six years old, then you must judge
from general appearance.
Some judges rely on the tusk
about the same numbers of mares
have tusks as horses that have none.
Some men %-ill tell you that they
know the age of a horse by the jaw
or the wrinkles about the eve, or the
joints of the tail. You might as well
say that you knew the age of a man
by the wrinkles is his face. The wear
ing of the teeth depends upon the
general health and lungs of the
anjmal.
Bad teeth follow diseased lungs. In
purchasing a horse, depend upon your
judgment, and when you trade, do not
ask a neighbor, as every man ought to
know his own business.
If there is much talking to be done,
let the other do it. What you say, let
it lie to the point, and stand to if.
