said i" Major lam here" On being ordered
back to the ranks he made ready and dis
charged his rihe-the ball entered on the
right side, passed near the heart and lodg-
ed in the flesh near the back bone.
In defending the rights Of his country,
this high-minded soldier met danger IN IT'S
most terrific forms-was mutilated m the
most cruel manner by having his face lite

EAST INDIAN JUGGLER.

We are convinced tina modest merit
is too often overlooked in this age OF
blow-pufs and wind-biadders for it is a
TACT, that almost any ignorant pretehder.
or professional quack, cal puff himself
into possession oI fame and fortune, while
unsssuming retiring genius is suffered to
languish in 4" cold neglect, and penury
and scorn," uncherished and unrewsrd-
ed. 1t may, perhaps, excite smile that
we make an application of this remark
to the subject Of this article ; but we are
serious.
When SENa SAMA first arrived in this
city from England, he issued modest
notice of his intention Of exhibiting a
specimen of the rare and wonderful pow.
ers with which nature and art have en-
bowed him-powers which had previous
ly astonished the princes, mobiles aud IL
terati of enlightened Britain.
Of one thing, however, he was totally
ienorant-he had yet to learn that, in
This country, a bladder of wind outweighs
a globe OF gOld-he knew not the won
derful efficacy of pufhng-no pompous
bills were posted at the corners of our
streets, whose huge staring capitals dis
played all tie hues OF the rainbow--the
newspapers were silent. The conse-
ouence was. nothing great or respectable
was anticipated, and bat few attended
the exhibition Such was the reception
ot this singular stranger. that he began to
fear he had either mistaken his own ia
Tents, or been deceived in the opinion he
had been taught to entertain OF American
curiosity, taste aud iiberalty.
At length, however, rumOr accidental
" caught whisper of the wonderful Ia
Tents, astonishing muscular powers, and
Unparalleled activity of Sena Sauna -
since that fortunate mOment his name has
been trumpe.ed round by that lequacious
deity, until our citizens have become
convinced that they have a treasure a
mong them, and knew it not. His houses
are now filed to overilowing-beauty,
taste and fashion, flock to his exhibition,
and the white turban'd East Indian" is
| all the 60. He had publicly announced
that he should depart this day for the
southwark; but some Of our most re-
spectacle citizens have absolutely insist
ed Upon his remaining here another week
