By two successors, Com us and Robert—a couple of Frenchmen—tricks by means of con ci-ve mirrors were brought to con siderable jierfec ion. Bar forming in Paris, M. Robert declared he would raise irom the deadanv person whom the company pleased to name. It was proposed that ho should bring up the spi i or Murat; and truly enough a ohautom resembling that hideous revolutionary monster made its appeurar-e, and immediately Yucistied. Effec sof this kind, aided by a subdued light and somo ghastly paraphernalia, are produced by the ag. of louses, concave mirrors, and miniature likenesses of the per sons repreented. In feet, nitiou of the so-called manifestations ,of m-,de*u spiritualism may be ex plained by apt! al illusions, such as were pracTls I by M. Robert and his bto. her conjtji ‘is. We cannotevon in the briefest way, refer to the crowd of conjurers who, in .ater times, havo euhertaiued and astonished the public with their t. -eks. Only a few ctu be noticed. One of those was the well remember ed Aude -on, native of Aberdeen soire, who dc. ignated himself Wiaard of the North.

Conjuring, possibly pays, as well us anything else. Among the Inter conjurers of note there have been several foreigners, Dobler, Fiikil, Bosco, and Houdin— i ordinarily called Robert-lloudiu. Wo happen to have seen them all, and in particular can speak with approbation of the elegantly adroit performances of Houdin. This clever Frenchman, who sooke English fluently, travel -d about with ids wife, who was an accessor} in ids en t inments. For example he would declare that Madame, while seated blindfold in the middle of the s.age, would describe any small article that was banded to him. Responding to his request, one of the spectators Would baud him u brooch, uuolher a ring, a third a pencil-case, and so on. Every article wit's faithfully de tcibed to all appearance by the. bjiad-folded lady, which (-.used no stn. ,11 degree of wonder; but in renl- Ly she never spoke at all.

Tho thing, howev er, is so simple and so obvious, that we cannot doubt it had been employ ed—perhaps imperfectly—ages ago in the conjuring repertory. A iire burn ing in a room is at a certain angle reflected in the glass of the window. Passing through the glass, the rays are re-’.acted or bent aside, and the image of the fire is seen blazing on u bush or other object outside. Such *.s the principle ou which the so-call ed Pep’xers Ghost is made a subject of wonder to an essemblage of peo ple. Shrouding the lights, to give the required dimness, a glass screen is lowered in front of the stage, on which the ghost is to Appear; the ghost being nothing more than tho rcileeUon of a jxerson performing out of Sight of the 9t*r?c * tors—probnbl v at a point in front of the glass, or even uouer the stage. The recent manufacture of large sheets of plate glass hro immensely facilitated tie trick. As none of the spectators, on account of the crepuscular light, can see tile glass, the simulation is com plete. A ghost seems to be walking i bout the at ge, which the actors a -to dee or to grasp, of course wli bout effect, and the marvel is to alia xearanceincomprehensible. On he Ike /.minciple, is sometimes s. a ‘rflu-pc head,’ which on swe" quesuons, also a variety of o.hsr tricks or op; ical illusions. — C. " . .’’s uovrna'. THE MAN TO LIVE LONG.

Ihe joys of ue table are to him of importance; they tune his mind to seren ty, and his soul partakes : n tie pleasure which they communicate. He does not eat merely for the sake of eating, but each meal is an hour of daily fesliviiy. He ''a s slowly and has riot too much thirst, the ‘atier being always a sign of rapid self consumption. He is serene, loquacious, susCept.'ole of joy, love ahdhope, but insens’bie to the impressions of hatred, anger and avarice. His passion never become* v'oient or dest.uctive. If be ever gives way to anger he experiences rather a useful glow of warmth, an artificial and gentle fever, without an overflow cf the bile.

THE TURKISH SITUATION. Heavy Pi-e-sure on Turkey In Ft tend the Armistice. London, 23.—A dispatch .:om Vien na to the Thnes explains that a dif ficulty has arisen because the Porte, before granting a prolongation of the armistice, desires tho powers to give their opinion in regard to its peace propositions.

The Powers also intend tirs attitude as a concession to Russiu, sho having throughout the negotiation determin edly supported unconditional nrmis tieo. As ’he term for which the present suspension of hostilities has been granted draws to a close the demands of the powers beeomo more pressing, some of them liav'ng tolerably plainly in imated that the Porte’s re utal to g *ant an armlst'ce would ler.d to tho suspension of their di plomatic relations.
