y "An unknown man was found
dead in a field about one and one-fsurth
miles from Humboldt, on Thursday
morning. He Was recognized as an Is
raelite by some OF our citizens of that
class; but no paper or anything on his
person that would identity him as to
name. Appearances would indicate that
the man had been dead for several days.
The verdict of the jury was that he cane
to his death from the use of morphine, as
q bottle was found near him, and no
marks of violence on his person."

Humboldt has a m-ystery-and one
that maybe certain parties il this town
can clear up-at least we have q shrewd
suspicion in q certain quarter. On last
Tuesday morning a male infant, some
three weeks or a month old, very nicely
clothed and carefully slowed in a big
basket, was handed TO a negro woman by
an unknown man, who asked her to take
care of it while he attended to his bag
gage. He handed her a dollar at the same
time, and asked her to change the little
creatures clothing and feed it. He left
and has not been heard OF since. Mr.. C..
F. Williams, Express agent at Humboldt,
has the waif in charge, and has kindly
cared for it.
"A steamboatman named Edgar. mate
of the Celeste, was arrested by the police
Saturday night, at a late hour, on q tele-
gram from Little Rock. 1t seems, from
what we could learn of the affair, that
while the Celeste was lying at Little Rock,
Edgar was assaulted by a negro deck
hand, and in the struggle which ensued,
stabbed his assailant so seriously that he
since died. Information Of the death OF
the negro, was forwarded hither by tele-
graph, and Edgar was warned during the
evening hat he would be arrested, but
took no steps toward securing his safety
by flight or concealment. He will be car
ried to Little Rock to-day. unless legal
steps are taken to prevent it.
In lent, when every pleasure ceases,
and only in the domestic circle is social
amusement to be found, the following
simple tricks OF legerdemain will be
found amusing. The first is called " the
magic stick" To do it properly you will
need a pesrl-handled knife, and q stout,
hardwood stick, some two inches in
length. Sharpen the two ends of the
stick and then try to crush il endways,
either between your hands or by sitting
upon it. This, to the establishment Of the
company, you will find it impossible to
do. The better to deceive them, keep a
perfectly calm countenance. Another
pleasant trick is the mai trick" Fol
this you must take W. large wrought
iron nails, and wire them together in the
form of an x. 1t will then be found i'm
possible to swallow them. There is no
deception about this. The cable trick is
performed thus; Take a piece of tarred
rope, which you may call iocularly the
to Mantcho, Tartary, about fifteen
inches in length, cut it carefully with a
sharp knifs, and then try to chew the
ends together. Any OF the company try
ing it would get stuck at once.
