Jananesc Religious Enthusiasts.
San Francisco Chronicle.

Among tho arrivals yesterday on the
steamship City Of Picking we're two
priests from the interior of Japan,
claiming TO be endowed with miraculous
power They are on their way to the
Paris exposition with party oftheil
countrymen, conducted by two English
gentlemen who have for several years
resided in Japan a Chronicle reporter
interviewed these gentlemen ut then
hotel last evening and was courteously
received. They informed him that these
priests are religious enthusiasts, who
profess, through the power Of faith
and by the medium Of prayer, to be en-
abled to do the most remarkable things
such as are recorded i'm the Christian
gospels as in the power Of the followers
Of Jcsus-referring to those passages
which speak Of their being able 10 re-
move mountains, and to swolaw dead
~ poisons without harm. One of the
miraculous things that these priests are
able to do is to walk with naked feet
over the edges Of swords ground to the
keenncss of II razor, and also over u bed
Of live Goals. They never attempt this
without formal and tCrvent appeal to
their divinity for protection, and they
assert most positively that il would be
impossible for them to perform the
works they do without the divine inter
ference iii their behalf They intend to
exhibit these remarkable powers in
Paris during their stay, and will chal-
lcnge the dcvotees Of the Christian OF
any other faith 10 do the things that
they do. In answer 70 the reporters in
quiry il they would exhibit their powers
i'll this country, the gentlemen said that
such was MT their intention, but to
spend a few weeks in seeing objects Of
interest on the Pacific and Atlantic
slopes Thanking the gentlemen for
their courtesy, and assuring them that
their request not tomcnlion their names
should be complied with, the reporter
Withdrew, rcgrcttmg that he would not
have the opportunity to witness this re-
viyal Of one Of the lost arts.

4 Wonderful Specimen.

His attire would have excited the
cupdity of u soap fat man, and just as
he stood hc would have afforded first
class raw material for working up in n
soap factory. He was the greasiest
looking man ever seen in Austin since
the man fell into Il barrel Of lard oil up
at the Manhattan mill. Likewise he
was oily tongued but there was tired,
far away look in his eye, and an UNI
steady motion to his legs that denoted
him an out-and-out old bum. He walked
into the saloon and employed himself
in examining the mineral cabinet.
After q close scrutiny Of the contents
Of the cabinet, he turned to the bar
keeper and remarked, You've got

The bar-kccper is an enthusiastic col

his ears and was all attention while the
man was speaking of his marvellous
piece Of ore. He had lived in this
country long enough to know that a

cation of his financial condition, and
that it frequently happens that men

The other two doomed pirates had to
undergo the same fate, and so had
seven more prisoners that were taken

He expired an hour after they had
landed his ii utinted body there. The
people Of Bornholm next sent three Of
their best men to Copenhagen to in

TOTAL ABSTINENCE SAVING WINE TILL IT
DIPENS.

There IS curious story about some native
wines which are extensively advertised nova
days. and have only recently been put upon
the market. DR.. Underhill, the wel-known
grape-grower Of Croton Point. died in 1871.
Some Of his heirs entertained temperance
views Of such extreme kind, that they were
unwilling to allow the stock Of wines then on
hand to be sold or any more TO be made.
The grapes have sometimes been sent to
market, and sometimes left to decay upon
the vines. It's only now that the other heirs
have succeeded In arranging for settlement
of the estate and tho sale of the wines on
hand. Among these Is wine of the vintage
Of 1864, described as Sweet Union Port, -
but suggesting the Imperial Tokay more
than any other European wine, and being
wholly unlike any other wine Of American
growth. Its purity. age and mclowness are
remarkable. and both physicians and winc-
fanciers have special interest in it as the
Oldest native wine now accessible in any con-
siderable quantity. The whole stockis in the
hands Of the weil-known wholesale grocery
house Of the Thurbers.--W. Y. Tribune.

add that this is the pure juice Of the grape,

has been ripcned and mellowed by age. and
