Chinese Street Jugglers.

y letter from China To the Chicago Tribune
says: Street ~iugglers and mountcbanks abound
IN Canton, and in fact in every Chinese city.
They also travel from place To place throughout
the country, displaying their fcats and picking
up a little cash here aud there. As n general
thing their Juggling fcats DO not amount 10 u
great deal. yet some Of them are very clever. and
would create fully as much Of a theatrical tar0Te
IN the United States as did the japanese perform
ers. Sword swallowing and stone eating appear
TO be tue conInonest icots. and operators oi TINS
description can be seen in almost every street.
One fellow, however. performed a number OF leafs
IN front OF our hotel which demanded from me
more tiE'n a PASSING notice. He stationed himself
IN the centre % the street, and having blown a
blast upon Il buglc 10 give warning that hc was
about TO begin his entertainment. he took n small
lemon or grunge tree. which was covered with
fruit, and balanced it upon his head. lie then
blew a sort Of chirruIing whistle. when imrnedI-
atcly a number Of rice-hirIs clne from every iii
rection and settled upon the boughs Of the bush
he balanced or futtcred about his head. lie then
took n cup in his hand and began to rattle some
seeds in 1t, when the birds disappeared. taking
4 small bamboo tube. he next took the seeds ana
putting one in it blew il ut one of the fruit, when
II opened and out flew one Of the birds. winch
huttcrod about the circle surrounding the per-
former. lie continued TO shoor his seeds ut the
oranges until nearly Il dozen birds We're released.
lie then removed the tree from his forehead. and
setting II down took m n dish. which he held
above his head, when all the birds flew into it,,
then covered it over with n cover. and. giving it
a whirl or two about his head. opened II and dis
played a quantity Of eggs, the shells Of which lie
broke with a little stick. releasing a bIrd from
each she'll. The trick was neatly performed. and
deied detection from my ewes. The next trick
was equally clever and difficult Of detection
Borrowing Il handkerchief from one Of his spec
tatOrs, lie took an orange. cut n small hole in IL.
then squeezed all the juice out, and crammcl the
handkerchief into it. Next. giving the orange
to = bystander 70 hold, he caught up n teapot and
began to pour n cap of tea from it, when the
spout became cloggcd. Looking into the pot APP
Iarcntly for the purpose Of detecting what was
the matter, he pulled out the handkerchief and
returned it To the owner. lie next took the orange
from the bystander and cut it open. when it was
found to be full oc rice. lie performed a number
of pleasing icats. but ! have given enough To sat
isfy the reader that they are equally as expert as

The Dangers Of Petroleum.

\ wear or two ago the world WAS terrified by n
series Of disasters arising from the explosion of
nitro-glyccrIuc, and that powerful agent was
uuaniIn"u-ly denounced a. being too dangerous
"a handle or transport. Nevertheless the lives
that have been lo-t through explosions Of nitro
.lyccriuc dp not constitute a tithc of the fitali-
ties cisIg'ible &" petroleum. Within the past
xix months more than half n dozen irightful catas-
tropics have been caused by this mineral oil, and
almost all Of them in the same way. viz. by COLI
siJus between railway trains or steamers. Two
dreadful accidents. attended with terrible loss Of
life. happened IN Great Britain. recently several
more, in which the loss Of life was lighter, but
the destruction of property very great, have lately
occurred on some Of the Eastern lines OF railroad:
and now we hear almost in the same breath. Of a
most horrible disaster on the Ohio river, caused
bv two steamers c~Olliding, and one OF them catch
ing fire from n cargo Of petroleum and Of a train
containing five hundred barrels Of oil being burned
IL Massachusetts,. The former accident seems 10

disaster IN Wales. Two of thc finest steamers

Jerusalem-Progress of the Excavations.

\ correspondent Of the New York TImes writes
from Jerusalem
Tic discoveries made hitherto may Dc summed
up briefly. Tie south wall 81 the -Icrri area.
Hrrum Fl SIcrrcf, within which stood the tenn
PIE, has been explored - tine very foundations.
u has been found that IN one place the wall was
$50 JOS than $50 feet high. Vt the lowest point
Of the wall, which j. now determined u bc also
the lowest point Of the TyrDI.eJn valley. he dis
covered a smal! passage which lie explored FOR
some $50 feet, Of very ancient construction, and
evidently intended {, carry of supcrilIous water.
Previous q this discovery It had been supposed
that the lowest point was the southwest angle Of
the wall whore was the great arch, known Us
Robinson Arch. Visitors To- Jerusalem Will
remember the spring Of the old arch at this point.
They viii lee gritiiiei To- learn that I'll the con-
lectures with reference 70 what formerly stood
there, have been aLUuiautly verified. Not onlv
was there a splendid arch crossing thc TyrouaeJn
valley nj this IDint-tle span Of which was forty
feet ucTJss-aud the yuu-s1ir5 and ruins Of which
now lie buried in thc debris. but beneath the
old arch covered over with a pavement, built
presumably 90 cover these ruins, lie the stones Of
an arch Older still, perhaps the arch built by
solomon himself. The complete Investigation of
this arch has been q long and costly undertaking.,
bat it, importance j. very great.
On the cast side Of tine llrHm wall lies the
valley % Hebron. Lieutenant Warren. bv Il
series Of Shafts and bprIn--, has asccrtainci that
the present bed of tine stream j. no les than
forty fee; higher than the old bcd-the bed iay-
iHg been rti-cd hy tire enormous masses Of debris
and ruins that have been hurled over into the
valley. By the last letter from Jerusalem we
received "a plan OF tie system Of chambers discny-
cred "a .. Wilson's Arch" higher up on the
western wal. near the =. waiting Place uf the
jews. Lieutenant Warren q discovered at a
depth Of some fifty feet bci1v,!sHe surface Of the
ground a vast system Of chaVasrs and passage.
These chambers, Whose use 10 not vet been dc
cidcd. ara inI>tiy about twelve feet square. yaulted
aud filed up with rubbish or with water. About
eighteen have been opened, of which it Is conicct-
urcd that twp or three are 81 Siracenic origin and
the rest Of Jewish. they branch of right and
lowed up for "a distance OF go feet. it, dcstina-
ton being yet uncertain, and It's use prpblcmat-
