describes a most extraordinary - performance
witich is now nightly attracting crowds to tho
Cirque Napoleon. Three trapizes or pieces of
wood about five feet long, suspended front ropes
attached to tho extremities, hang from tho roof
of the circus, one in the center and the ethers
at about forty feet distance at each side.' A
young man named Leotard ascends to a small
platform arranged for him above the place where
tho musicians sit, over the passage for the hor
ses into the ring. The trapeze nearest to him
being put in motion he catches it as it flies up,
and then, after balancing himself durcfully, he
scizos it with both hands and darts .into open
space. After flying to the utmost extent of the
ropes, he comes back with the recoil, and a-
lights in safety on tho spot from which'hc star
ted. When he has done this two or three times
to show that the exercise is mere sport to him,
he again launches himself into mid air, hut not
this tirao to rctunf as before, for when the tra
peze has reached its furthest point he suddenly
lets go his hold, and borne onward by the im
petus imparted, seizes the second trapeze, Which
in its turn carries him forward to the length of
its ropes, where he again quits it, springs to the
third trapeze, and, borne forward by it, alights
on another platform at tho opposite side of the
circus, and in face of that from which he had
started.
The performer again seizes the third trapeze
and flinging himself forward as before, flies to
its furthest limit, and then quitting it springs
to the socond, which, however, he does not
leave, but permits it to fly back towards the
third, then as it descends, since his back is still
towards tho trapeze, which ho quitted the mo
ment before, he all at once lots go With both
hands,' and turning in tho air seizes it again in
timo to meet the third, by catching which lie
again reaches th® platform. Once more ascen
ding to the platform above the orchestra, lie
springs forward, hanging by tho hands to the
trapeze, and quitting it as it approaches the end
of its range, ho gives a summersault in the air,
and seizes the second trapeze as he descends.
Whon it is considered how truly brain, eyo and
muscle must respond to each other in these per
formances, the whole exhibition must be pro
nounced ono of the most extraordinary that has
ever been seen of its peculiar description.

eight feet square as many hogs are packed as

There wen three men and a very handsome
girl loading an immense cart of hay. We
walked on, and at length this moving hay-stack
overtook us. I remember it well, with a black
horse in the shafts and a fine gray in the traces.
We made very slow progress; for Naesmith
would never cease sketching or "Stopping us to
admire the SAcnery of nature.
Indeed, our progress was so slow that up
came tho. great Lothian peasant sitting upon
the hay, lashing on his team and whistling his
tune. Wo walked on, side by side, for awhile,
I think about half a mile, when, all at once, a
child began to cry in the cart-load of ha-. I
declare I was cheated myself; for, though i was
walking alongside of Alexandre, I thought there
was a ahild among the' haj-; for it cried with a
half-smothered breath, that I am sure there never
was such a deception practiced in this world.
-“What is the meaning of this?’’ said Terry
“Y ou are smothering a child among your hay.'
The poor fellow, rough and burly as was his
outer man, was so much appalled at tho idea of
taking infant life, that he exclaimed in a half ar
ticulate voice: “I wonder how they could fork a
bairn up to ms frae the meadow, and mo never
ken 1” And without taking timo to descend to
loose his oart-ropcs be cut them through the mid-
dlo and turned off his bay, roll after roll, with
the utmost expedition, and stiil the child kept
crying almost under his hands and feet. He
was even abligcd to set bis feet cn each side of
tho cart for fear of trampling tho poor infant to
death. At length, when ho had turned the
greater part of the hay upon tho road, the child
fell a crying most bitterly amongst tho hay, on
which the poor fellow (his name was Sandy
Burnet) jumped off the cart in the greatest tre
pidation. “Oh, I liac thrown tho poor thing
ower 1” exclaimed he. “I warrant it’s killed ”—
and ho began to shake out tho hay with the
greatest caution. I and one of my companions
wont forward to assist him. “Stand , back
stand back!“ cried he. “Yc’Il maybe tramp
it’s life out. I'll look for it myself” But after
lie had shaken out the whole of tho hay no child
was there to be found. I never saw such looks
of amazement as Sandy Burnet’s then were. lie
seemed to havo lost all comprehension of every
thing in this world. I was obliged myself to
go on to the brow of the bill and call on some
of the hay-makers to come and load the cart
again. • * .
_ Mr. Scott and I stripped off our coats, and as
sisted, and as we were busy loading the cart, I
said to Sandy, seeing him always turn tho hay
over and over for fear of running the fork throngh
a child. “What has become of the creature,
Sandy* for you must bo- sensible that there
was a bairn among tliis hay." -
“The Lord ken's sir,” said Sandy. I
“Think ye the lasses are all safe and to be
trusted?” said-I.
“For anything that I ken, sir,”
“Then where could tho bairn come frae?”
“The Lord ken’s, sir. That there was a bairn,
or some semblance o’ ane, naeboby can doubt;
but I’m thinking it was a fairy, and that I’m
hauntit’,
“Did you ever murder any bairns, Sandy?”
“Oh no! I wadna murder a bairn for the hale
world.”
“But'were ye ever the cause off any lasses
murdering their bairns V
‘Not that I ken oV*
'Then where could the bairn coma frae ?—for
you are sensible that there is or was a bairn
among'your hay. It is rather a bad looking job,
Sandy, and I wish you were quit of it.”
“I wish the same, sir, But there can be nac
doubt that the creature among the hay was
either a fairy or tho gliaistof a bairn, for thd
hay was all forkitt off the swaitho in meadow.
And how could anybody fork up a bairn, and
neither him nor me ken?”
YVe got the cart loaded once more, knitted the
ropes firmly, and set out; nut wo had nob pro

Wo dined at “The Hunter’s Tryste,” and
spent the afternoon in Hilarity; but such a night
of fun as Monsieur Alexandre made us I never
witneased nor ever shall again. Tho family at
the inn consisted of tho landlord, the wife, and
her daughter, who was the landlord's step
daughter, a very pretty girl, and dressed liko a
lady; but I am sure that family never spent an
afternoon of such astonishment and terror from
the time they were united until death parted
them—though they may all be living yet, for
anything that I know, for I have never been
there since. But Alexandre made people of all
ages and sexes spaak from every part of the
house, from under the beds, from basin stands,
and from the garret, where a dreadful quarrel
took place. And then he placed a bottle on tho
top ol tho clock, and made a child scream out of
it, and declare that tho mistress had corked it

manner on being let in to shoot Mr. Hogg, on
which the landlord ran to tho door and bolted
it, and ordered tho man to go nbout his busi

there he should not enter on any account.
Wc all heard the voice of the man going round
and round the house, grumbling, swearing and

SAVANNAH, December, 1859.
Last year we were induced to accept the agency
for theaale ofKettiewell’aManipulated Guano np-
on well authenticated reports received from Mary

Planters of Georgia, advising them to buy. Many

and was used upon ail crops, and as far as we can
learn the result has been more successful than any
Fertilizer now used in our State. We therefore, ap
pear again before you, with renewed confidence

Lime and no Amonia. the essential elements neces
sary for the growth of crops. KettlewelTs Manipu
lated Guano will commend itself for the following
rea-iins.
■ 1st. Because it is imported Gnano, intimately com
bined, so as to meet the wants of crop and soil, and
not a manufactured article.
2d. Its fina and dry condition—making it ready
for immediate application, without shelving or grin
ding.
3d. In production of crop and permanent improve
ment of land, it surpasses all other Fertilizers, not
excepting Peruvian Guano.
4th. Its low prico.
Peruvian Guano contains IP per cent, of Amonia
and only 25 to 30 per cent, of Phosphate of Lime.—
By reducing the Amonia one-half, and donblingthe
Phosdate of Lime, a far moro valuable Fertilizer
nm-t ["-produced. It has been demonstrated that
8 per cent, of Amonia is enough for all crops—moro
isinjurious, besides ezpensive. Indeed, many pre

tains' a larger per centage of Phosphate of Lime;
the simple reason why cotton seed is So valuable a
Manure is owing principally to this element
The No. 2 msy not produce as large a first crop on
some soils, but as a permanent Fertilizer is surpas

ructing all navigation.
We ask our patrons of last season to furnish us
with their orders, and solicit a trial from all planters
desiring an Iucroozo of crop and improvement of
soil. In consequence of delay in receiving orders
lost season we were not able to supply the demand,
this year it ia our desire to promptly fill every order,
and therefore solicit early attention to handing in
orders. We will supply from a single sack to any
number of tons that maybe wanted. The Guano
is put up in handsome sacks, and will be sold here
at €53 per ton for No. t, and 843 per ton for No. 2.
The mode of application is very simple, applied
broadcast, in hill or drill, in quantity precisely as
Peruvian Guano, say from 100 to 300 lbs. per acre,
with the advantage of permanent improvement, the
more liberally it is applied.
Terms oash, or Its equivalent.

J. J. MAPES, Esq.: .
Dear Sir—I have very great pleasure in writing
you tonching the effects of your Super-Phosphate
of Limn on onr cotton crop. Having tested It against
fonr other preparations, I find the appearance of the
f ilant is most hopeful and promising, as regards a
arge and remnnerating yield. I feel certain your
mannre will give from one hundred to one hundred
and thirty pounds of Cotton more than any other
preparation per acre.
It is a remarkable (act that no Rost is seen in the
plant whero yonr mannre has been used, while all
others show Rust, tnore'or less, and this is'especial
ly the case where Gnano has been used. ••• •
. And last, though not least, as regards the Planter's
interest, I feel certain that cotton from Super-Phos
phate will weigh much heavier than from any oth
er preparation, in this particular. I believe Phos
phates are destined to work the greatest possible
revolution in r the cotton-growing Slates- to the
South.
Tho plants look most vigorous and Insurious, some
being six feet high, and bolding from eighty to one
hundred and ten Bolls each stalk.
' I am, very truly, H. LOMAS.
