And ao we toraed a party that waa not ubamed to ahow Itaelt. My slater Blanche and her baabsid, Aafoet En- gel, were tlao ot tbe party, and to tbem olong a charming Bpanlah girl, who bad already nude a very asooeafol debn> In the ballet. This Senorlia Kannela Velaaqnez wu a boaom trlend ot my alater'a, and, to tell tbe tmtb, I Uked her >tao—Indeod, I liked her partloalarly well SlQce I have oonfeaaed Ihli, I may u well conreu alao that my jealoni glanoea followed her every- where, and watched everything that alood In con necUon with ber. And It was not long before I dlaooveied tbit my brother In law, Aognat Engel, went tortber In bU admiration and ardent glancea for Hanoela than wu desliable.

One evening, when Ibe ladlei had retired tor tbe night, and tbe gentlemen had repaired to the bil- liard room, to enjoy a amoke and a drink, onr con- venation toncbed on all poaalMeanbleota,andeven came to the phenomena ot bypnoUim and anggne- Uon. The more Ignorant we were with respect to these aablecta, the more heartily and wirsily did we ezpreaa onraelvea relative to tbem. Aagiut Engel had been, to be aire, a phyilolaa, before he went apon tbe stage; yet we were inr- prlaed at tbe venattllty with whiob he expressed himself on tlie compinUvely new phenomena, espeotally with regard to tbelr relation to cnme. But tbe honored brother In law by no oeana oon- vlBoed me.
