BANQUET TO MR IVESS, M.H.R.

Last evening between sixty and seventy gentlemen, mostly electors of the Waka nui district, met at Quill’s Hotel to wish Mr Ivess, the newly-elected member foi Wakanui, every success before his depart ure for the seat of Government. Mr St. Hill occupied the chair, Mr Ivess (the guest of the evening) being on his right hand, and Mr G. D. Branson supporting the chair on the left. Ample justice having been done to the spread provided, the tables were cleared, and the usual loyal &hd patriotic toasts were disposed of.—Mr Branson then proposed the health of the newly-elected member for Wakanui. He Regretted to notice the absence of many of Mr Itesa’ opponents. He thought the time had come for them to meet once mote on friendly terms. Why should hot political fights be carried on in the same manner as a battle between lawyers in a Court of law ; they were ready enough to out one another's throats in Court, but the best of friends out of it.—The toast was then drunk with musical honors.— An original song was then sung by Mr H. Gates, and Mr Ivess responded to the toast at some length. He said he would have liked to have seen some of his political opponents present—as far as he was con cerned the hatchet was buried. He thanked the electors present for the honor they had done him in electing him as their representative. He should proceed to Wellington via Christchurch to-morrow. —-Mr Stevenson then gave a song.—The toasts of the “ County Council ” (re sponded to by Mr Taylor); the “ Borough Council” (responded to by Mr St. Hill); “Our Host” (responded to by Messrs Quill and Hill); “ The Legal Profession ” (responded to by Messrs Branson and Ireland); “ The Press ” (coupled with the names of Messrs Reddin and Wilkin, who briefly responded); and “ The Chairman,” terminated the proceedings a little after midnight.

A PUZZLE TO THE DOCTORS.

In the operating theatre of the Glas gow Royal Infirmary Charles H. War ren* an American acrobat, exhibited in presence of a large number of doctors and medical students various acts of voluntary dislocation by muscular action of nearly every joint in the body. Warren, who was introduced by Dr Dunlop, is a man of thirty-four years of age, about the average height, and of remarkable muscular development, there not being an ounce of superfluous flesh upon his body. But, apart from his fine physique, he is in every sense a natural phenomenon. It wasnoticed in his infancy that soon after he began to run about he would suddenly fall, and it was ascertained that he had been tripped up by the sudden displacement of the hip joint. But the fall would restore it to its place, and he would get up and move about as before. This tendency to accidental and in voluntry dislocation lasted two or three years, after which it occurred by an act of volition and under the powerful contraction of the muscles. Warren, to the astonishment of the medical men, dislocated in turn his hip-joint, one shoulder-blade and then another, the raw, the knee-joints, the ankle-joints, and wrist joints, and indeed every joint of his body, each dislocation being ac companied by a snap, which to the unmedical ear was painful. But in every case the bone returned quietly to its position without any sound or sen sation like that which accompanied its displacement Warren next drew in his abdomen ( so far as to expose the beating of one of the blood-vessels, and showed other contortions absolutely appalling to look upon. One of the medical gentlemen asked him if he could move his ears. This also War ren did. Next he laid down a carpet upon the floor, carefully wetting it under the corners to keep it in position, and taking two rings of 14m. diameter, he passed his body through them in the most wonderful yet easy manner. One passage may thus be described. He balanced a glass of water upon his chin and then bending his head and feet backward till they met he passed them through one of the rings, and gradually his whole body. Finally he twisted himself through the rings as if he had not a bone in his body, but was made of gutta-percha. At the close of the exhibition the hat was passed round and a liberal collection made for him. As he was a professional acrobat in America, it is probable he will perform in the circuses in this country. But meanwhile he is astonishing the mem bers of the faculty in the large cities in this country. He exhibited his dislo cations in the Western Infirmary, and has gone to Edinburgh for that pur pose.
