Ancodotcwi of th Litto Prof. Wy- New York Stir. Prof. John Wyman , who died at Burlington , Yt. , on Sunday lust , \vns ono of the most noticeable magicians and ventriloquists of the old school in this country. Ho stood for many years without n peer among the old- time "wizrrds , the pioneers of an art which has since found many imita tors , Ho was the best-known public performer in the south and wct > t thirty years ago , and no ono ever at tained there n wider personal celeb rity. His Kpniul good-fellowship added oil' the Mnpo to the friendships his talents made on it , nnd Wymnn was equally at homo with children in the nursery , or among rough mon on the frontier , or in the cabin of a Mis sissippi steamboat men who live by their wits and wcro quite nnscrupul- jus as to their methods ol getting ilicad , By his ingenious humor Prof. Vyman became popular popularity t that time often depending on a sort if bravery so daring -hat it seemed linost playful. Not to bo too play- til , however , ho always carried arms ; nd not to be too ingenious ho took are that no ono over got the advan- ifjo of him. Kind-hearted and charitable by latnro , Wyman never looked upon an inpostor without indignation ; but , iko all successful magicians , ho pos- ussod a quick sense of the ludicrous. ? ho Mississippi steamers , when the ; reat river was the American highway letwcen the north and south , wcro ommon resorts of commercial' trav- ilers , gamblers , planters and specula- ors. The cabin of a crowded steamer luring the long evenings , between St. Txmis and New Orleans , was a sort of rcasuro-room for sharpers , in which ho rich planter who possessed more noncy than experience lost all ho had , ind sometimes oven his life if ho be came noisy over the loss of the first. It was one of his many journeys down the Mississippi , when the river tore its great tide of human freight joforo the war , that Prof. Wyman not Iko Walton , one of the most not ed gamblers in those days and a man vho valued very much his reputation 'or honesty in his trade. .But many nen were victims to Wulton's honesty. On this particular night Walton had .leached the bottom of his purse and ras desperately in want of money as well as food. Hunger tempts many ncn to crime , and Walton found a : ouni : planter who possessed a pas- ion for gambling and the means to jratify it. Nnt daring to trust to : ards , which , it is said , never run in aver of hungry men , Walton piopos- sd a game in which "skill" counted or nothing. The game then intro- luccd was similar to the celebrated hree-card-monto trick , only instead of cards a small wad of paper was used. Three cups were brought from he kitchcn and the paper ball , not argor than a pea , was placed before hem on the table. ! Walton turned he cups over , and ho , shifting them rapidly from place to place , covered and uncovered the paper with confus- ng rapidity , and finally wagered 550 hat the young planter could not toll what cup the ball of paper waa under. The wager was quickly taken and us quickly lost. The trick was played again and again , until the victim had est all ho had. The success of the gambler was simply a matter of sleight- of-hand. As the small ball of paper was covered for the last time Walton picked it up by pressing it under a iinger nail. The planter raised the cup where it should have been , and the wager was lost ; but the gambler , to further the deception , promptly lifted ono of thu two remaining cups , scraping off the ball of paper as ho did so , leaving it on the table as the cup was lifted from it. When the planter dad done Walton asked for newcomers to bet. Wyman liad never gambled in his life , but hero was an occasion to him which made the loss of refusing seem greater than the sin of accepting. Besides , ho believed that the young planter had been deceived by deliber ate trickery. When ho had lost § 100 himself ho was sure of it , "Hero is the paper , " said Walton , raising one of the cups with a smile. The gambler had made § 300 within the hour , the prospect of needed rcfjeslnnents opened before him , and ho was in good humor. Al though cheating in a gambler's sense , ho had resorted to it with reluctance. "There it is again , " said he shifting the cups rapidly before Wyman. "Now you see it plainly enough , and now" setting two of the cups down with a bang "you dent , " Wyman , in the meantime , had torn a bit of paper from a newspaper , -lled it up com pactly like the other , and "palming t , " quietly slipped it under a cup as lie raised it from the table , The most surprised person in the room was Walton himself. Ho regarded the wizard with n look in which wonder and alarm were mingled. Ho could not help admiring the other's trick , but to expose it was to expose his owru The stake was again made and again lost , as it had boon before , "I never played this before , " said Professor Wyman , "and it's a good game if you don't bccomo too fond of it. I don't suppose I'vo played a came for amusement for yearn. I think a little recreation like this is a good thing once in a while in that way. I have the advanlajjo of you , who cannot make a recreation of what you do as a regular business. I sup pose you play this every day , " ho con tinued simply as ho 'again draw the staKe frpm the -ambler. Walton wiped his forehead , and did not feel that ho was by any mean.1 too accustomed to thu sort of amuse ment ho was then undergoing , ani signified that his capacity for enjoy mcnt ot that kind had not been im paired by use , The next turn in affairs showed the professor's consummate ) skill both ii observation and practice. The gam bier in moving the cups , left for the first time the ball of paper , which ho had hitherto had all to himself , under ono of them. But Wyman's percep tion had not been blunted by success it was impossible to deceive him sini pip sleight-of-hand , and ho promptly raised the right cup , keepinir thosixtf ball of paper that ho had prepared ii reserve. Walton , who had contemplated plated an exposure of his adversary was now awed into an admiration o his skill. The professor soon with drew from the game altogether. Later in the evening the gamble : took a novice into his care to retrieve the fortune that Wyman had won. I' ' was the old trick pertormeu Walton's pointed finger-nail. NNy whispered to the victim to raise om > cup first nnd tip over the other hv < > , nnd ho could see what , would folio- . The maneuver was successfully accoiu- phshed , and the indijjuant "Inml , ' proclaimed to the humltfds of specta tors that ho had bOO\ ) deceived by trickery. Walton , wilh compixratnu ruin staring him in tjio fnco , thiow the victim nsido , nmU' Saul thnt ho might have nil the money , on the tv bio if ho would withdraw the char- , , if ho did not , on the other hand , tu > would bo killed before morning. The Inmb looked in Walton's gray eyes , and determined to tnko the money nnd his life , When the \lnys of Miss issippi steamboat ing wuvo over , ami gambling was made , n penal oll'ensi- , Walton came loPhiladolJihinand lived alone a number of years in n _ small apartment on Ktdgo aVemto. His only child , a boy , received ft college educa tion and the best training that a f.ith- cr could bestow. Waltpn died in the spring of 1870 , and four or tlvo faith ful friends followed thohunrsothrmigh the rain to Laurel Hill Cemetery. SVyman's exploits on the Mississippi steamers would fill n .thick volume , the chapters of which ho often pumi- iscd to write. His 'annual tuns through the south and west included ovory'town of more than'2,000 ' inhab itants , nnd n good manyoflesj. Ho- fore the advent of railroads in nnmo of the southern states hti traveled on horseback , his ngont following with two pack mules bearing his nppnratus nnd paraphernalia. T. W. Yost , one of his closest friends antj an old deal er in the "wizards' " stock in trade on North Ninth street , remembers ex hibitions that wore given'ju hay lofts , the spectators climbing a ladder on ho inside of this building nnd paying ? 1 for the privilege , and. said he , 'we turned 'em nwny then. Profes- or Wyman was the inyontor of many Ticks that are. now the stook in tr.ido if those on whom his jnnntle fell. The magic drum created.cisonsiitiuu in n its day. It was suspended from bo coiling over the head of the au dience , and responded * in invisible tips to questions from the spectators. L'Jio secret lay in the construction of 'ho instrument. Thcro Traa an clcc- ric annunciator on the inside , nnd ho drum was sitspondedicarolessly by in insulated wire. Tho-othor end of ho appliance was an ordinary tele graph operator's instrument on the tago. The spectators nskwl questions , iVyman tapped the instvument with n's foot , and the drum responded in out ! taps. The whole , nrr.uigciuont ras an invention of his. Professor Wyman used td say tlmt Hermann ackod ingenuity and variety , and that eller's great charm lay in' his conver- ation. The latter wa $ , however , ilumsy with his hands , strange as it nay seem. CAUGHT AT 1AST. Yttempt to Arrest a , Man Who JLlvod on a Stata Boundary Iiino. 'hlladclphla Times. , Just across the Delaware river , 'rom Matamoras , Ta. , lived Blandiim Siting and her brother Philip. They ivo alone in a largo 'house which stands on the state line ) one-half bo ng in Now York , and .tio ) remainder n New Jersey. Blandinn won fame unto herself , by capturing a burglar lot Ibng ago. About'a year ago a : eam of horses belonging to Philip , while being driven "by n hired man , ran over a poor laboring man named stroker , inflicting serious injuries. He was confined to hia.hou o for some .imo , and his motherless children became - came objects of charity. Philip was appealed to for relief. Ho was a wealthy man , but would render no as sistance. Not lonijJigo a suit for damages was commenced by Stroker against EHing and judgement of § 02 ! ) and costo , ag gregating about § 800 , was given the : ioor man. An execution was [ issued ind the trouble begun Under the Now York strlo laws the pJnintifT is authorized to examine a judgment debtor to sco what property ho has and aid the sheriff in making n levy. Last May an order or summons upon Elting was i.ssuedj but could not bo served. The man Vept on the Jersey part of his farm or concealed himself , nnd , despite nil eflbrts , the service was not made , though numerous par * ties tried it. The , work was finally accomplished by a woman , Mr.i. Francis Lewis , , who went to Elting'a houao to buy butter-milk , and while there Phillip came in and she fortieth served the um : mons. That was on" the 15th of June. . Elting disregarded the order , , and did not appear , He was then "in contempt , as wcll'as liable to arrest for disobeying the jorder. A warrant for his arrest was issued , and n dbpu- ty shell-ill' triad to find Kiting , but in vain , as ho kept on the Jersey side of the farm most of the time , slppfc ijv the barn at night , and was continual ly on his guard' against surprises , Tuesday morning , StephenBairddop'- uty shoring wont down to arrest him , if ho could , and , climbingtoun apple tree , watched for Elting. , Tor- tune favored him , for ho had .scarce gotten CBconced in the tree whoi along came Elting , and the officer slit down and sni/.od him.
