So up wo went a- out my band and felt of it. It was spruce! A very messenger of evil tidings. No spruce grew in the Xew-York wilderness, that I knew, and tho hardy tree was a native only of colder climates. . We must therefore be over Cana- “*• If this was so, we were abovo the great wddernes. This I knew was almost unboun- ded—its only known limit being tho Arctic circle. Therefore, if there wo were, the soon er wo staid where we were, the better. So I made fast to the top of the spruce, and we composed ourselves as well as possible for a iright of “rest”—crawling down in the bottom of the car, and going to sleep. Daylight came—none too soon to satisfy the twO'bomcwhat anxious individuals who were awaiting its first glimmers. Tho rain had ceased, leaving us thoroughly soaked in our perch, but tho clouds above drooped very near the earth. Wc bad on board about fifteen pounds of ballast, which wc threw out, as well as one blankot, one overcoat, an anchor rope, two or three porter bottles, aud other small ar ticles. This was necessary to give us au as- censive power, because about ouc hundred pounds weight bad been added to the balloon during the night by the deposit of rain in lit tle reservoirs upon it nnd the soaking of the net. When we arose, we ascended at once, so os to pass through the stratum of clouds, which had so thinned out during the rain that it was probably not more than a thousand feet in thickness. Once more the earth was out of sight, and tho sunshine, was upon us. We found ourselves going still duo north. As tho sun’s rays fell upon the balloon, the drying off of tho water and the expansion of the gas in creased the nscensive power very much, and wo shot up rapidly to the hight of a milo be fore it was possible for me to check the up ward tendency. I knew the sooner we reach ed terra firma the better. Drawingtbo valre, therefore, wo carao down below thcclonds. And here, what a view! As far as the eye could reach, in every direction, one unbroken sea of forest limbs; massive trees, shcoiing their tapering bodies far up toward thcclonds. and relieved with very little foliage; the broad, cheerless, and forbidding prospect broken on ly by a mountain at some distance, and one or two small sheets of water near by. Discharging gas as rapidly as possible, we came down, the balloon settling between two tall spruces. Tho globe caught in the limbs, but as it collapsed with the discharge, our weight settled the car within eight feet of the earth, enabling us to drop out without difficul ty. It was most fortunate that our descent was made just at this point, the balloon barely crowding between the trees, else wo might have been impaled or thrown out from a very great higbt by concussion. After jumping out, I knew that it was nec essary to abandon the balloon, as wc should have all we could do to find our way out of that almost impenetrable wild, without any in cumbrances. There was no alternative—the work of the Atlantic was done. I have known what it was to be shipwrecked at sea, and to behold a vessel I had learned to love as my home engulfed in the foaming waters, but I never experienced anything like the emotion that filled my heart as I exclaimed, '-Good by, old Atlantic, we shall never meet again!” It teemed like parting from an old friend in per fect health, with the full knowledge that be would never be seen again alive. Tears blin ded my tight, and it required, I suppose, the MACON, OCTOBER 18, 1859.

Perhaps it was foolish and nonsensical; if it was, I can only say I could not help it. But the departure must be made; so off we started to seek for civilization, deliverance, safety, homo and friends. _ AVe shaped our course south of cast, snpposingthat if wa were in Canada that would bring us out on the Ot tawa; or, if in the Xew-York _ wilderness, which.neither of us believed possible, that we should leave it on a direct line for AVatertown. AA’e soon found t hat wc could only make a snail- like and most laborious process. The bottom was soft ; tho bushes closely grown together and loaded with the deposits of tho previous night's rain storm; anil a dense mass of rub bish lining the way in every direction, haring fallen from the trees, never perhaps cut, since God first planted the wilderness upon the soil. Every foot’s progress cost us labor; and we began to appreciate tlie very marked uncer tainty whether we should die far from the bal loon or not. . After laboring on about three-qunrtcrs of a mile, wc came upon a creek, the general course of which was to the north-west, but exceeding ly tortuous. Here we found a rude wooden trap used for catching martens ; a little clear ing, with indications of a fire at some past time ; and a half-barrel, with the marks, ••Mess Pork—P- M.—Montreal.” This ap prised ns that civilized man had been upon the spot before us, and also removed wbntcv cr uncertainty we had as to being in Canada. More than this—it buoyed us up in the hope, in which wo were destined to marked nnd se vere disappointment, that wo were about to come npon human habitations. A brief debate decided as to follow up the stream on its north side, it being much caster to walk in the grass and water along the bank, than to crotnl our way through the tangled hashes, and over the underbrush. After follow ing the creek about two miles, finding my weight uncomfortably increased—so much as to fatigue me—by saturation by water, I re- llire.raik, do„. •!* ZV'JXlZbkl,',", Z creek, we came upon a lake.

I An Arab, of middle hight, but well built and r 1 irirdi v able to drag my body along, muscular, as many of thc Arabs are, did st. i rods from thc shore, amid thc my side with sufficient assurance. shanty from which the “Are you vert rtrong ; J gajd to linn. 1 God be praised ! There unng him from head to foot companion, aanvereing with a generous | “Oh. y«» ! v ” be replied, carelessly. “Are you sure you will always remain -so ?' ‘•Quite sure.” k • "You are mistaken, for, in an instant, 1 will rob you of your strength, and you shall become as a little child.” The Arab smiled disdainfully as a sign of his incredulity. “Stay, - ’ I continued; “lift up this box.” Tho Arab stooped, lifted up the box, nnd said to me, coldly, “Is that all “AVait !’’ I replied. Then, with all my possible gravity, 1 made an imposing gesture, and solemnly pronounced tho words: “Behold! you are weaker than a woman now, try to lift the box.” The Hercules, quite cool as to my conjura tion, seized thc box once again by the handle, and gave it a violent tug, but this tirao tho box resisted, and in spite of his most rigorous at tacks, would not budge an inch. The Arab vainly expended on this unlucky box a strength which would have raisedoan enormous weight, until, at length, exhausted, panting, aud red with anger, he stopped, be came thoughtful, and began to comprehend the influence of tuagte. Ho was on the point of withdrawing; but that would lie allowing his weakness, and that he, hitherto respected for his vigor, had lie- come a little child. This thought rendered him almost mad. Deriving fresh strength from the encourage ments his friends oflered him by word nnd deed, he turned a glance round him, which seemed to say: “You will see what a son of tho desert can do.” lie bent once again over the box; his ucrV‘ ous hands twined round the handle, and his legs, placed on either side like two bronze col umns, served as a support for the final effort. But, wonder of wonders! this Hercules, a moment since so strong and proud, now bows his head; his arms riveted to thc box, under go a violent muscular contraction; liis legs give way, and he falls on his knees with a yell of agony! An electric shock, produced by an inductive apparatus, had been passed, 011 'a signal from me, from the further end of the stage into thc handle of thc box. Hence thc contortions of tho poor Arab! It would have been cruelty to prolong this scene. I gave a second signal, and the electric cur rent was immediately intercepted. My athlete, disengaged from his terrible bondage, raised his hands over his head. ‘‘Allah! Allah!" ho exclaimed, full of terror; then wrapping himself up quickly in the folds of his burnous, as if to hide his disgrace, lie rushed through the ranks of the sjiectators and gained tho front entrance. AVith tho exception of my stage boxes and thc privileged spectators who appeared to take great pleasure in this experiment, my audience had become grave and silent, anil I heard the words “Shitan?” “Djcttouin!” passing in a murmur round tho circle of credulous men, who, while gazing on me, seemed astonished that I possessed none of the physical qualities attributed to the angel of darkness. I allowed my public a few moments to re cover from tho emotion produced by my expe riment and Ibo flight of thc herculean Arab. One of thc means employed hy the Mara bouts to gain influence in the eyes of the Arabs is by causing a belief in their invulnerability. One of them, for instance, ordered a gun to ho loadciLand tired at him from a short dis tance, but in vain did the flint produce a show er of sparks; the Marabout pronounced some cabalistic words, and the gun did not explode. The mystery was simple enough; the gun did not go oil' because tho Marabout hod skill fully stopped up the vent. Colonel de Nevue explained tome the im portance of discrediting such a miracle by op posing to it a slight-of-hand trick far superior to it, and I had thc very article. I tnf»—-J ih« a mlik that I nossessed a talis man rendering me invuincrame, ana I defied tifu best marksman in Algeria to hit me. I had hardly uttered tho words when an Arab, *who had attracted my notice by the at tention he paid to my tricks, jumped orer four rows of seats, and disdaining tho use of the “ practicable,’’ crossed thc orchestra, upsetting tiuto, clarionet*, and violins, esealadedthe stage while burning himself at the foot-lights, and then said, in excellent French, “I will kill you V Au immense buret of laughter greeted both the Arab's picturesque ascent and his murder ous intentions, while an interpreter who stood near me told me 1 had to deal with a Marabout. “ You wish to kill me!” I replied, imitating his accent and tho inflection of his voice.— “Well, I reply that though you are a sorcerer, I am still a greater one, and you will not kill me.” I held a cavalry pistol in my hand, which I presented to him. “Here take this weapon, and assure yourself that it has undergone no preparation.” The Arab breathed several times down the barrel, then through thc nipple, to assure him self there was a communication between them, and after carefully examining thc pistol, said: Thc weapon is good, and I will kill you.” As you are determined, and for more cer tainty, put in a double charge of powder, and a wad on the top.” “It is done.” I ‘‘Now, here is a leaden ball; mark it with your knife, so as to be ablo to recognize it, and put it in the pistol, with a second wad." “ It is done." “ Now that you are quite sure your pistol is loaded, and that it will explode, tell me, do you ftel no remorse, no scruple about killing mo thus, although I authorize you to do so f’ “No, for l wish to kill you,” the Arab repeat ed coldly. AA'ithout replying, 1 put an apple on the point of a knife, aud standing a few yards from the Marabout, ordered him to fire. “ Aim straight at the heart,” I said to him, My opponent aimed immediately, without thc slightest hesitation. Thc pistol exploded, and the bullet lodged in the centre of thc apple. I carried the talisman to the Marabout, w recognized thc ball he had marked. I could not say that this trick produced greater stupefaction than the one preceding it; at any rate, my spectators, palsied by surprise and terror, looked round in silence, seeming to think, “ Who tho deuce have_ wcgottohere ?" A pleasant scene,^pwever, "sootuunwrinkled many of their faces. Thc Marabout, though stupified by his defeat^ad not lost his wits; so, profiting by tho moment when ho returned me the pistol, he seized thc apple, thrust it into his waist-belt, and could not be induced, to return it, persuaded as he was that he possessed in it an incomparable talisman. For tho last trick in tny |ierformancc I re quired thc assistance of an Arab. At tho request of several interpreters, a young Moor, about twenty years of age, tall, well built, and richly dressed, consented to come on the stage. Bolder and more civilized, doubtlessly, than his comrades of the plains, he walked firmly up to me. I drew Min toward tho table that was in the centre of thc stage, and pointed out to him and te the other spectators that it was slightly built and perfectly isolated. After which, without further preface, I told him to mount upon it, and covered him with an enormous cloth cone, open at the top. Then, drawing the cone and its content to a plank, the ends of which were held by my servants and myself, wo walked, to the foot lights with our heavy burden, and upset it Tho Moor had disappeared—the cone was per- perfectly empty! Immediately there began a spectacle which shall never forget Tho Arabs were so affected by this last trick, that, impelled by an irresistible feeling of terror, they rose in all parts of tho house, and yielded to the influence of a general panic. To tell the truth, tho crowd of fugitives was densest at the door of the dress circle, and it could be seen, from thc agility aud confusion of these high dignitaries, that they were tho first to wish toleava the house. A ninly did one of them, thc Caid of the Beni .Salah, more courageous than his eoUeagucs, try to restrain them by his words: -* .-stay! stay ! we cannot thus lea J one of our co-reiigionLti. Surslv we must know what »j BOSTICK. KEIM CO.. But the coreligionists only ran away the fas ter, and soon tiie courageous Caid, led away by their example, followed them. They little knew what awaited them at the door of tho theater; but they had scarce gone down thc steps when they found themselves face to face with the “resuscitated Moor.” The first movement of terror overcome, they surrounded the man, felt and cross-questioned hi u; but, annoyed by these repeated ques tions, he had no better resource than to escape at full speed. Tho next evening thc second performance took place, and produced nearly the same ef fect as the previous ono. , Mf Robert Uoudain, it seems, is now repos', ing on his wizard laurels in Paris. The course of years has brought philosophical contentment, and, according to his own confession, “be has reached tho object of every hope.” lie is pre paring another volume explaining the manner in which slight of-htnd and other conjuring tricks and deceptions aro performed; which, however instructive it may 00 to persons foud of prying into the mysteries of legerdemain, can scarcely equal tho interest of the present entertaining narrative.
