The man asked for bottles, empty glass bottles,

Then, at sign from the Baboo the man approach

no more alarmed exclamation to utter than ssWon

Alter this gassivorous monster came some ex-
Perts OF the more familiar sort-the sword-swal-
lowers, and the hre-eaters and the tossers of balls,
and the posture-makers. We soon tired of Them
Then followed more startling exhibitions Some
Mutt gipsles were led out-a family of four, being
man, two women, and boy. They brought with
them tall pole, which the man fixed upright, in
pace In the moor prepared to receive it. They had
also two or three brass Dishes some eggs an earth
en- jar or two, and bottle. When the man had
planted his pole, he began trottng around it. in a
narrow circle, chanting a monotonous song, which
every moment quickened with his pace One of the
women sat on the ground, and beat with her fin
gers on small drum; the boy drew a Gathering
accompaniment from sort ofcastanets; the other
woman remained for time silent and still. But
presently the man capped his hands with smart
double stroke, and at the sign the woman rose to
her feet, and as he passed her, sprang with mar
Vellous agility to his shoulder, and then to the

Still the man ran on, faster and faster. Then the
boy laid down his castanets, and took up one of the
earthen jars, with which he followed them; and

the jar was on the mans head and the woman stood
upon 1t IN the same attitude as before. And still
the man ran round and round faster and faster and
faster went his meagre- noted sopp and faster went

Then the boy brought brass dish and bottle.
and the man slipped the dish under the woman's
feet, so that it covered the jar like lid; and he
placed the bottle upright on the dish and the wo-

:, And still the man ran faster and faster and the
drum and the castnets hurried to keep up with
him; and not until we had grown dizzy and all the
rotunda revoved in our eyes with those revolving
gymnasts, did the woman leap nimbly to the floor
and with a smile set us free.
Then the elder woman left her tom tom the
younger taking her place; and she stood in the CEN
ire OF the cleared space with small basket of eggs
IN her hand. Around her head she bound smoothly
ana securely broad INLET, from which twelve silk
en- cords, equdistant, having each a small moose at
the end were suspended and hung Just little low
than her shoulders.
At once the music began-slowly at first then
faster and faster, as before; and she gyrated with
it, measuring her velocity by its time Like a
whlrllng dervish, at last she spun-a human teeto-
tum-till the sken cords with their nooses stood
centrfugally, straight out from her head and when
her velocity at its widest, by one she hung
twelve eggs in the loops, and whirled on, till the
cords were like the spokes of light Yankee wagon
in state of 240, and the eggs made white halo
round her head. Then, by slow degrees she checked
her speed, and at the end replaced her astonished
f9tus-poultry in the basket, unchanged by so much
as a dint.
PROFITS OF COPPER MINING.-The editor of the
Montgomery Gala. Nail, visited not long since,
the copper region of Tennessee in behalf Of parties
| in and about Montgomery, who wished to have
some independent testimony on the subject before
! investing. His report, which is before u.s. is very
interesting. We extract a striking item, ''obtain-
ed" he says, "from the very best authority
Before the Tennessee Mine, on the school proper
ty, was closed in consequence of litigation six men
raised in less than two weeks 800 tons of ore, con-
tanning 81 per cent of copper. This was worth
about So, 600 in the Baltimore market. We learn
from the report of Professor Currev and Lit. Maury
on the Allegheny Mining Company pages 27-28,
that the transportation from the mines to Baltimore
costs SIS per ton; say SIS, 400 for 300 tons. The
highest price paid to miners is Sl.5O per day, or
SIG for SIX men fourteen days. This would make
the total expense of the operation SO 526 for labor
and transportation. Clear profit S43 ,474, or S5l7

Of course, says Mr.. Hooper, such cases are excep-
tional, but the instance affords key to the vast
profits derivable from rich deposits of copper In

IS there shown that the United and Consolidated
Copper mines of Cornwall paid for ten wears an av-
erage dividend OF $50 per cent per annum on the
Of the mine; and this with an ore averaging only
"a per cent of copper.
We are told in Currey and Maury's report on the
Alleghany property, that the Burra Burra mine in
Australia, sent forward in five years Sc 52S tons OF
40 per cent. ore, worth So 900 000-returning with
IN that period nineteen times their outlay to the
stockholders.
We learn also that the Minnesota mine on Lake
Superior, commencing in 1S45 with 1000 shares at
50 each, has now 10000 shares, worth SIPS per
share; say S2,50O,OO0. An increase of five hundred
thousand per cent. in fourteen years. See Report
p. Ii, appendix.
The report of Currey and Maury both of whose
names for science and integrity beyond dispute
fortified by articles in the encyclopedias the re-
ports of Saffold and Tuomey, on the geology of
Tennessee and Alabama, the report of Prof. An
stead, Government geologist of Grea. Britain, and
other independent and collateral testimony, given
before the copper enterprise offered in this
market was thought of, afford cumulative evidence
that the Tennessee mines are inferior to none in the
world.
We renew our recommendation to the capitalists
of New Orleans to investigate the subject-N O..

| THE QUAKERs AT NEwPoRT.-Friends' Yearly Meet-
ing esterday was the Inauguration of the Friends
Yearly Meeting in this city, and a most beautiful
day 1t was The number of strangers in town was
equal to that of previous years, comprising deega-
tons from nearyevery of the free States, nclu-
ding also delegation from England.
The services at the meeting house commenced at
ten o'clock A. NJ, at which hour the spacious edi-
flee was full in every part, "the worlds people" oc-
cupying the galleries and portion of the body of
the house. 1t was goodly and somewhat novel
spectacle, to look from the galleries upon the sea of
covered heads below; drab bonnets of the quaint
but neat and becoming pattern of ancient DAYS
drae shaws, drab dresses, drab hats with capacous
| brims, and-we had almost said-drab faces; in
short an air of drab seemed to overshadow the
| whole Quaker assemblage. There they sat, motion
less as II they had been many statues into which
the breath of life had never entered save when one
moved by the Spirit, to give his thong hts ut
terance. Notwithstanding the very crowded posi-
on OF the audience and the consequent coseness of
the air. the stricest order decorum charactariz-
