snakc.Charmers at Benares.

Zone morning two snakc-charmers called
atthe hotel. Around their necks huge
boa-cOnstrictOTs were twincd, and each
carried jars of smaller snakes and one of
scorpions. The performance consisted in
taking the venomOus snakes from the jars
in which they lay coilcd, and, in picking
thesAGp, the men placing their fingers in
the reptiles mouths-tantaliZing them to.
afrenzy and then wrapping tie whole
about their heads and necks, where the
Missing, wrilhing mass presented fright
ful spectacle.
A cobra bit the finger of one of the men
twice. and each time he Immediately made
use OF various churms-placing a small
round stone over the cut flesh, smelt of
piece of wood resembling flag root, and
then used it for marking circle about his
wrist. This he told me would eilectually
prevent the absorption of the poison into
the system. The stone draws out the
blood, and with it, of course, the virus.
1t is generally supposed, however, and
with much reason, that the poison glands
Oithe cobra have been removed in the first
instance by the crafty snake -chaTmers.
Several times the cobTas advanced until
within foot of my chair but turned back
at command of their masters. During the
entertainment one of the men played at
intervals upon q sort Of flageolet. The
scorpion dtCeItisSeDtel1 consisted in string
ing number of them together (as the whips
of the Furies were made), which the men
then hung upon their lips, nose and ears.

that an assemblage of some twenty or
thirty people would require anything
more substantial, At entertainments

usually handed round during the course

grandest of grand balls the supper is

the MEDICINE THAT CURES
IS
VECETlNE.

Taking into consideration the character of its
vouchers the history OF its cures and the immense
increasing demand Vegetine may be fairly entitled
the leading medicine of the age.
For scrofula in the blood Vegetine is an iniallible
remedy, and no person need suffer from tumors,
ulcers, and all diseases arising from impure blood,
il Vegetne is used according to directions. There
is not case OF scrofula in existence that Negetne
will not cure, provided however the vital functions
have not lost their power of action all that may be
said tothe contrary Notwithstanding.
Vegetne is pleasant the taste, mild in its iniu-
ence, and absolute in its action on disease, as the
following unquestionable evidence will show

II II. STEVENS, ESQ:
Dear Sir When about six months old was vac
cnated. The parties who were vaccinated from
the same virus died from the humor. The humor
spread over me to such extent that was rolled
in bran to prevent me from scratching my person.
The .> ease finally settled in my head. remained
in this condition about twenty Yeas, troubled all
the time with sores breaking in my head and dis
charging corruption from my ear. At this time u
small kernal appeared on my neck, gradually in
creasing in size until tumOr formed of such i'm
mense size could see il by turning my eyes down
ward. All this time was taking various remedies
for my blood without any substantial benefit
then went TO a prominent physician in Boston
who, during his treatment of six months, lanced
the tumor eight times, which cost me nearly $500.
This left me with rough, aggravated sore. without
at al! diminishing the size oil the tumoi, and IN a
eicSIy, feeble condition. ! cOnsutc another ply
cian Natick, who, after considerable time, sue
cecded in healing the sore without reducing the
size. AT this point commenced to use Negetine,
through the eirnest persuasion of friend. Alter
had taken this medicine about one week eXpe-
rcnced wonderful sensations. My whole body
seemed to be undergoing a radical change, until,
finally, the tnmor broke and discharged frghtful
quantities. From this time ii decreased in size I'M
til The bunch disappeared, but my neck still nears
the ugly sears of the sore and lance. l am now
healthy and strong and able to work every day.
VIII also mention that have been an acute sui
ferer from inlammatOry rheumatism ever since
can remember until commencing the usdOi Vege-
tine when almost Immediately all rheumatic pains
ceased. This statement volunteer for the purpose
of beneGtting other suffering humanity, ana you
will confer favor by giving it as much publicity
rs thought proper. Very gratefully,

Mr.. Pope started out in the greatest

To his utter establishment Mr. Pope
found the dead bear behind the barn, with
the pitchfork sticking in its side.

that he had more reason than ever 10 he

it remained all summer, while Mrs. Pope
became famous throughout the neighbour
