Cincinnati Enquirer. “When I was younger,” said an amateur juggler after dinner, “and waa travelling aronnd the country with the idea in my bead that the office of Americans was to teaeb the world as a consequence I often got left, as the Arabs say. On this occasion I went to spend the night nt a nativo village four or live miles inland, where it wns reported that a famous juggler lived. We wore a jolly party, all besides myself be ing sailors, and having a bard time riding on the native ponies they bad provided ns with; but after many capsizes we managed to reaon our destination, where we found the fakir and made up a purse of about *3, without which nothing could be done. Some oi bis trioks beat anything 1 ever came across. “He was a tall, thin, olive-lined fellow, with long blaok hair caught up behind and tied with a string. He was extremely reticent, and all through tho performance never smiled nor uttered a word. The first trick was to arrango our party about him in a eirclo ol about thirty feet in diameter, and we were so olose together that no one could pass out without our knwing it. To prevent such a possibility he gave us a cord to hold. Tills beiU| done ho and a smaller native wit! a bundle of wood took their places in the centre. The yonng man ar ranged the wood in a pile and light ed it, and when it blazed up the older man seized hlm.^hrow him upon the flames and held him down. Immediately there aroso a dense, suffocating smoko that seemed mixture of flesh and sandalwood. It rose above their heads and spread about until it completely bid them, and from it came such groans that sovoral of the men called out that we had better take a band, as tho boy was being mur dered. But I reminded them that it was only a trick, no mattor bow realistic. We waited perhaps flve minutes, when tho yells ceased and the smoke gradually cleared away and there stood tbo old fakir alone, tbo young man having to all in tents and purposes been burned He was scooping something irom tho Are—evidently ashes—into a flask which was banded to u« and passed around—tho cremated re mains of the assistant.” “But," interrupted a gentleman at the foot of the table, “didn’t he slip oat in the smoko?” “There was no place to go to,” was tho re ply, “as we were in n clearing away from trees or bushes. But the strangest part is to come,” he con tinued. “After passing the flask around he took it back and placed it in the centre of tho circle, and n some wood under it lighted nost immediately the flask' began to grow before our eyes; the Are blazed and a rich odor of san dalwood floated about, and in ten minutes the flask had expanded un til it was the size of a largo keg. The fire was then put out, and we were beckoned to come nca. and ex amine. I touched it, and it seemed ajar of earth made of piaster or mud; it bad a ringing sonnd as I struck it with my seal ring, and, to the hand wan hot. After looking it over we returned to our places; the old fakir then took tho hammer waved His hands in the air, uttered some mystic words, and struck the vessel a hard blow that broke it in pieces, when out stepped the boy wo bad seen cremated, as bright as you please. I should be glad to have the trick sol veil, but bnvc never found any one who could satisfactorily explain it. Some aver that the old fakir con cealed the young man with bis own person, but that was simply impos sible, as I felt of tho fakir myself and bo had nothing on but bis shirt, open in the back, and a pair of trousers. These tricks are as remarka ble,” continued the story teller, “as those Polo claims to have wit nessed in China ycats ago. “One of these consists In the eon- juror taking a ball of wood that bad been perforated in several place*, end through whiolt string* were passed, and hurling it into the air. Up it went dragging the string after it,and finally disappear ing. The bead man now instructed n boy assistant to mount, which bo did,climbing up the cord,until Dual ly the spectators lost sight of him, or thought they did. The fakir now semed to he In distress at losing him, and called londly; then, as if in a rage, be seized the rope and clambered up after him, having a knife in hlo mouth. In a few mo ments a dismembered leg, all bloody, fell to the earth; then an other, several Ungers, and finally the head and trunk. Finally the old fakir himself appeared, his olothes covered with gore, looking like a butcher. “As soon as he recovered from his evident exertion he went through some mummery, and col lected the dismembered and bleed ing parts, gave the body a push waved his hands over it, and seiz ing tbo body hy tho head jerked it to its feet, and off it walked, noth ing tbo matter with it. “In Bangkok a similar feat was witnessed a few years ago by Mr. Churchill. The juggler tossed a rope ladder into tho air and sent goats, dogs, eats, boys and alliga tors up ono alter another. All of them appeared running toward him from a distant quarter ten minutes later. These are tricks that seem almost superhuman, yet are ludi arously simple when known.” i Word for the Cranks. Cranks, my son? The world is full of them.' What would wo do were it not for tho cranks? How slowly the tired old world would move, did not the cranks keep it rushing along. Columbus was crank on the subject of American discovery and circumnavigation, and at last he met tbo fate of most cranks, wo a thrown into prison, and died in poverty and disgrace. Greatly venerated now? Oh, yes, Telemachus, we usually esteem a crank most profoundly after we starve him to death. Harvoy was a crank on tho subject of the cir culation of the blood; Oalileo was an astronomical crank, Fulton was a crank on the subject of steam navigation; Morse was a telegraph crank; all the old abolitionists were cranks. Tho Pilgrim fathers were oranks; John Bunyan was a crank; any man who doesn’t think as yon do, my son, is a crank. And by and by, the crank you dospise will have his namo In every man’s mouth, and a half completed monu ment to his momory crumbling down in a dozen cities, wbilo no body outside of your native vil lage will know that you ever lived. Deal gently with the crank, my hoy. Of course, somo cranks arc crankier than others, but do you bo very slow to sneer at a man be cause be knows only one thing and you cant understand him. A crank, Telemachus, is a thing that turns something, it makes the wheels go round, it insures pro gress. True, it turns tho same wheel all the lime, and it can’t do anything else, but that’s what kcops the ship going ahead. Tbo thing that goes in for variety, versatility, that changes its position a hundred times a day, that is no crank; that is the weather vano, my son. What? You nevertheless thank heaven you are not a crank? Dent do that, my son. May bo you couldn’t ho a crank, if you would. Heaven is not very particular when it wants a weather vane; almost any man will do for that. But when it wants a crank, my boy, it looks about very carefully for the best man in the community. Before you thank heaven that you are not a crank, examine yourself carefully, and see what is the great deficiency that debars debars yi —Hawke ou from such an election. :oyo, The First Hale or New ('ottou. Houston, Tex., July 24.—The first hale of the new cotton crop was received here to-day. The cotton was grown by Dr. R. L. Harris at Pcttsviile, Fort Rend connty. The bale weighed 370 pounds nnd was classed low mid dling. A second nuw bale was shipped today from Cuero, DeWitt county, consigned to a cotton fac tor in this city.* It was grown by 0. H. Amccko & Son, at Amcckc- ville, DeWitt county. Thus for six successive years the first bale has bale of new cotton in the United States has been produced in Texas and shipped to Houston. Reports from all sections of the cotton belt state that the cotton crop, though fully two weeks late, is in splendid condition. In a few localities rain Is needed. VANCE AS A JOKER. THREE ANECDOTES OF TIIE FOPUI.AR NORTH CAROLINAS. Vance, of North Carolina, is a largo, heavily-built man, with a heavy gray mustache, a twinkle in in his eye, and a lover of a joke that knows no limitation, says an exchange. He is an inexhaustible story teller, and he is rarely caught witbo.ut some retort or reparteo at band. A newspaper man telling him one day that he was about starting for a rather out of the way portion of the Senator’s own State, and was asking something about the accommodation ho was likely to And. “They’ll give you some of their fried hog aad eggs,” bo re plied. “That’s better than noth ing,” said the newspaper man. “I don’t know—I don’t know,” the Senator answered in n dubious tone. “I’ve tried both.” Vance was in tho Southern army, and is little lame as the result. Ho was in one battle before Richmond, where the fighting was particularly hot. A startled rabbit appeared for a moment on a fallen tree, and then, at a murderous discharge of musketry, darted like an arrow for tho underbrush. General Vanco had noticed him, and as he flew for cover the General called out, in a manner that left no doubts as to his absolute sincerity: “Go it, cotton-tail I If I hadn’t a reputa tion to maintain I would run too.” One of the liveliest campaigns that was ever carried on in North Carolina was the ono In which Vanco and Judge Settle competed for tho Governorship. They car ried on a joint debato. All the white Democrats turned out to hear Vance, and ail the colored Repub licans to hear Settle. On one oc casion, at the conclusion of the ig, Vanco was informed that there were somo charming young ladies who desired to testify their devotion to the Democratic party by kissing the Democratic candid ate for Governor. Nothing loath, Vance descended from the platform and kissed a dozen or so yonng beauties from tho Old North State, when he paused long enough to turn around to his oompolitor anil shout: “Settle, I’m kissing my women; you kiss yours I” On ac count of their raco and previous condition of servitude, Sottlo did not kiss tho femlnino Republicans. Invalids for whom koumiss is prescribed will hardly care to pay extravagant prices for it at the drug store when they learn that it can ho made for fifteen cents a quart with very little trouble. Fill a quart bottlo to tho shoulder with good milk; then dissolve two table- spoonfuls of white sugar in a little water at high heat; add it to the milk and drop a quarter of a two- cent eakc of yeast—tho latter must bo fresh—into the mixture. What remains to bo douo is mcrclyjto stopper tho bottlo securely; shake tho contents well together; leave tho mixture to ferment for six hours at any temperature from 00 to 95Jdcgrecs F.: cool it In tho ice box over night, and drink it at leisure. The dwarf trees of China arc very curious examples of what may be done to ohango tbo habits of species. Tho tap roots and any others which show a tendency to strike downwards are kept back, and after a long treatment by this method, healthy, symmetrical oaks, chestnuts, pines and cedars are produced which, when fifty years old, are not a toot high, and are kept in pots as any othor pot-plant would be. It is said that Lulu Hurst’s en tertainments in New York netted her father *4,000. That is consid erably more, perhaps , tb*n Mr. Horst bu made out of his Georgia farm during the last ten years. It is also said that the slender youDg man who introduces Lnlu to her audiences has fallen in love with the Wonder and wants to marry her. The old gentleman, however, thinks that white Lulu is drawing in the shekels so rapidly they had better delay the matrimonial put of the programme. i The generator of a steam engine in Orleans, France, suddenly shot up from its fastenings, smashed the cornices of two houses, knock ed over a dustman’s cart, set fire to a crowded fralt store, knocked over flve workmen, sailed over sev eral blocks of houses like a sky rocket, and came down in the mid- die of the street without hurting anybody to speak of, and with its glass watcrlcvci intact. Nobody has yet explained this astonishing freak. A CARD.
