Dancing by Proxy.
From Lippincotrs Magazine


Among the amusements of Oriental ma
tons. dancing is a general favOrite. But
let not the initiated suppose that by dances
are meant values or cOtilions, round
dances or quadrilles, all of which involve
an amount of muscular eXertI0n quite IN
consistent with Eastern ideas of pleasure.
No; the Oriental has fashion of his own in
regard to the dance; and whenever he feels
inclined to indulge his terpsichorean pro
clivities, he does so, not by dancing himself,
but by having his slaves do it for him,
Kings and princes, lords and ladies, recline
at ease np0n cushions of velvet, Willing
. away the tagging hours in slipping
sherbet from golden cups, scent
ing the breath of fragrant flowers,
or watching the curling smoke from still
more fragrant cheroots, while, bands of
dancing slaves exhibit their grace and dex-
terity for the entertainment of the august
company. / remember a ball given by a
British merchant at the capital Of Siam in
honor of his queens birthday, when several
Siamese mobiles were among the guests, and
in the early portion of the evening We'd

Knowing him to be wealthy, conyivial and
fond of display, they naturally expected

Scotch bagpipes, played by an old sailor

been found available, and the European
members of the company went whirling
and whizzing past as reel, jig and Highland

MOBILES rushed en- masse from the house, en-
tered their boats and ordered the oarsmen
to pull turiousIy for the mission houses, sit
uated some two miles lower down the
river. 1t was verging toward midnight, but
some of the missionaries were still busy in
knocking furiously at the door, and then
entering without waiting for a response,

The receipts for the first night were

81 they went on, at an average of $4,000 for
each performance of the first week. The
managers had counted upon running the
niece for six weeks, but on the first evening
fhev considered it would last two months.
Next morning sorne of the papers assalled
the pertormance. GOOD for three months,

The BLACK Crook" ran 800 and rev
odd nights, and netted $4,000 to its
managers. Barras, the author, received
over $4,000 for his share. 1t was always
considered good joke by many persons to
assert that the piece ever had an author, as
it was little else than a string of ballet per
formances withoutany particular continuity.
The name and the incarnation scene were
about all that were used of the original
piece as Barras delivered it to Jarrett and
Wheatleigh, and the author has never yet
quite recovered from his chagrin at the sad
mutilation which the child OF his brain re-

Falsely Packed Cntfnn.

We copy this from the Shreveport SouH-
res'efH:
Several of our most reliable merchants in
formed us yesterday that there is great deal
Of water and sand packed cotton coming
into our market. This We regret very much
TO hear. 1t will certainly do the planter far
more injury than the cotton factor. 1t has
a tendency to arouse the suspicious of every
factor, and factors VIII not purchase a bale
OF cotton from any one until it is thoroughly
inspected. This inspection will subject a
bale of cetton to such a severe test, that by
the time the factor has finished sampling
it it will be completely riddled. And
if the bale should be found sand or
water packed it will be rejected, and
the party or planter who offers such cotton
to the maGket will not be able to sell it at
any price. In fact, our factors have agreed
to refuse all such cotton offered to this
market and, not only that, but they intend
to inform by telegraph the factors of New
Orleans, Galveston, and all the other cot
ton markets, giving the names of all par
ties offering such cotton to this market. So
our planters throughout the country will
see the necessity of packing their cotton as
it should be packed. In our last annual
statement we gave the planters of this sec
ton OF country good advice on the subject
OF picking and ginning cleanly, ensuTing
Gnein a oettef price Tor their C0ttOus if thew
would adhere to such advice.
We would further state to our PLANTERS
that the factors in every city have what is
called cotton eyes" steel instruments with
which they can bore through cotton bale
from side to side and end to end, and it is
an utter impossibility for planter to palm
OF falsely packed bale on a shrewd cot
ton factor. II this practice is continued on
the part of the planter, he will not be able
to dispose OF his cotton at all, in any mar
ket. 80 the planters need not be told again
that they will be the losers by such a DTac.
tice. A hint to all sagacious planters is
sufficient.
