An AsToNTsHED NEGRO.

The far-famed slight-of-hand man,
Robert Houdin, cannot be satisfied
with his tricks before an audience, but
occasionally shows his skill for his
own amusement, very much to the
surprise of all who may happen to be
present.
On Saturday last, while passing an
itinerant vender of cheap provisions,
Mr.. Houdin suddenly paused and in
quired:
Glow do you sell eggs, aunty ?"
'sDem eggs ~ was the response,
Dey am picayane apiece. Fresh
too, de last one OBJ dem; billed 'em
myself, an knows dey's fust-rate."
"Well, I'll try 'em," said the magi--
clan as he laid down bit of curren-
cy. "Have you pepper and salt ?"
"Yes, sar, dere dey is" said the sa-
BILE saleswoman, watching her custo-.
mer with intense interest.
Leisurely drawing out neat little
pen-knife, Mr.. Houdin proceeded very
quietly to cut the egg exactly in
lhaIyes, when suddenly bright, new
twenty-five cent piece was discovered
living imbeded in the yolk, apparently
as bright as when it first came from
the mint. Very coolly the great ma
gician transferred the coin to his vest
pocket, and taking up another egg,
inquired:
"And how much do you ask for
this egg ?"
"De Lord bress my soull dat egg?
De fact am, boss, dat egg is worth q
dime shuah."
"All right" was the response /;
"there's your dime; now give me the
egg
Separating it with an exact prcci-
sion that the colored woman watched
most eagerly, a quarter eagle was care
fully picked out of the center of the
egg, and placed in the vest pocket of
the operator as before. The old wo-
man was thunder-struck, as well she
might have been, and her customer
had to ask her the price of the third
egg two or three times before he could
obtain reply.
% Oars no use talkin, massa, said
the bewildered old dame; "I couldn't
let you hab dat ar egg, now how, fol-
less than quarter; / declare 1 can't!
Very good" said Houdin, whose
s imperturbable features were as sol
e1nn as an undertaken, there is your
quarter, and here is the egg. Al
right"
AS he opened the last egg brace ot
five dolIargold pieces were discovered
snugly deposited in the very heart o.
the yolk, and jingling them merrily
together in his palm, the savant COOL.
remarked
ssVery good eggs, indeed 1 rathe
, like them, and while l am about it,
believe I'll buy dozen. What is th
price? p

THE SOUTHERN CROSS.
Translated from the German of Alexander
Won Humboldt.


Won Humboldt.
The qualification we experienced ON
the discovery of this Southern Cross,
was cheerily shared in by those per-
sons of the ships crew who had in
habited the colonies. In the monot-
ony of the sea we saluted the star as
friend from whom he had long been
separated. With the Portuguese and
spaniards, special grounds seemed to
increase this interest. A religious
sentiment rendered lovely to them a
star picture whose form called into
memory the sign of their faith, which
was planted by their ancestors in the
solitudes of the New World.
Since the two large stars, which
mark the head and foot of the Cross
have almost the same right ascension,
then must the star picture, when it
passes the meridian, stand nearly per-
ncndicular. All those nations that in
habit the regions beyond the tropic,
or i'm the southern hemisphere, know
Il y
| this circumstance. 1t has beeu OBJ
served about what time of night in
the various seasons of the year, the
Southern Cross is perpendicular, or
inclined. Its clock that pretty reg
ularly advances about four minutes
i daily, and no other constellation af-
fords so favorable an opportunity OF
observing the time at a single view.-
How often, in the savannas of Vene-
zuela, or i'll the wilderness that cx-
tends from Lima to Truxillo, did we
hear our guide exclaim, "Midnight is
past; the Cross begins to decline."-
Il How often have the words called up
in our memory the affecting scenes,
Ewhere Paul and Virginia, sitting neal
the fountain of the river, converse
with one another for the last time, and
] where the aged man, on beholding the
Cross in the South, reminds them that
t it is time to take leave.

Luther at Rome.

In the close of the reign of julius, Luther
visited Rome. The poor monk, worn with
penances and mental toll, was sent upon
some business connected with his convent
to the papal court. He crossed the Alps
full of faith and stirred by stong excite
ment. H vas about to enter the classic
land with whose poets and historians he
had long been familiar: he was to tread the
sacred soil Of Virgil, Cicero, and Livy.-
But, more than this, he saw before him,
rising in dim majesty, the Holy City of that
Church from whose faith he had never yet
ventured to depart, whose supreme head
was still t. him almost the representative
of Diety, and whose princes and dignitaries
he had ever invested with an apostolic puri-
ty and grace. Rome, hallowed by the
sufferings of the martyrs, filled with relics,
and redolent with the piety of ages, the I'M
tutored monk still supposed scene of
heavenly rest, ''Hail, holy Rome-' he ex-
claimed, as its distant towers first met his
eyes. His poetic dream was soon dispelled.
Scarcely had he entered Italy when he was
shocked and terrified by the luxury and
license of the converts, and the open de-
pravity of the priesthood. He fell sick with
sorrow and shame. He complained that
the very air of Italy seemed deadly and
pestilential. But he wandered on, feeble
and sad, until he reached the Holy City,
and there, amidst the mockery of his fel-
low-monks and the blasphemies of the i'm
pious clergy, performed with honest super
stition the minute ceremonial of the Church
Of all the pilgrims to that desecrated shrine
none was so devout as Luther. He was de-
termined, he said, to escape the pains of
purgatory, and win a plenary Indulgence;
he dragged his frail form on his knees up
the painful ascent of the Holy Stairs, while
ever in his hears resounded the cry, "The
just shall live by faith He heard with
horror that the head of the Church was a
monster stained with vice: that the cardi-
nails were worse than their master; the
priests, mocking unbelieyers; and fled,
heart-broken, back to his German cell

Reports received at Chicago ILL.,, from
various parts Of the Northwest, are to the
effect that the new wheat crop is in an ex-
cellent condition, and promises an abun-
dant harvest. A much greater breadth
of land has been put into wheat this year
than ever before. If no unfortunate disas-
ter occurs, the crop will be unprecedented.
The Charleston Courier believes that
the cotton crop of the South cannot, under
any circumstances, exceed three million
bales this year, owing to the extensive mi
grafton of negroes to the cities and towns,
and the withdrawal of freed-women from
farm labor. The Columbus (Ga.) Sun
takes a similar view.
An effort is making by Committee of
the the Massachusetts, Legislature to ma
t,lralize the Indians of that State and Sc
cure for them the benefits ofcitizenship.
A Pittsburg oil firm recently obtained

Trading on the Plains.

With their whisky the Cheyennes pro-
ceeded to the Kiowa village, exhibited
their bottles, and dispensed smells from un-
corked bottles of corn juice-giving judi
cious shake or two to the bottles, that the
aroma should be more entirely appreciated
by their triends tho Kiopas. The smells
were freely taken, and produced an uncom-
mon desire to know more of the Cheyennes;
pipes were produced and duly smoked; after
which the visitors announced their willing
ness to trade. "They had not brought
much whisky, as they did not know that
their brothers the Kiowas wonld like to see
it. The little which they had with them
was good, and very strong; when the Kio-
was had tasted of it they would see." The
Cheyenne was liberal; he would give so
much for a robe (holding up the bottle and
marking with the thumb something like
half an inch of the whisky.) "But seeing
that the Kiowas were not in haste to trade,
the Cheyennes would smoke with them"
Meanwhile kindly disposed bottle holder
was dispensing smells Of the whisky to a
few Kiowas who were loud in their announ-
cements of the number of fine robes they
possessed. This second smoke was quickly
finished, and the Cheyenne exhibited the
quantum of firc-water, marking it as before
by the location of the thumb on the bottle
A general exclamation followed-the posi-
ton Of the thumb was to the Kiowa's eyes
so very much higher ON the bottle. But
Cheyenne had no more consideration than
a New York landlord, if the accommodation
offered looks small for the price. The
trouble was with the eyes Of the Kiowa,
which could not be expected to see big like
those of Cheyenne. Another smelling
time took place, and produced an instanta-
neous exhibition of tin cups and robes on
the part Of the Kiowas. During the pour
ing out of the promised grog the position
of the thumb was regarded with too close
a scrutiny on the part of the robe-sellers-to
permit of any showing up of the gauge, and
it is only justice to the bottle-handlers to
say that when they held up the bottle for
exhibition after each pour, no Indian could
detect any variation of the line of the wills
ky and the point indicated by the position
of the guaging thumb.
