Another MysterIous DIsappearanc

Another Mysterious Disappearancs
The heading of our article will at once
arrest the attention and excite the in.
terest Of our readers, for Of all sad thingc
in the world, the sudden dropping out Of
it of a friend, leaving no trace behind
him, is the ssddest. Such occurrences
are fortunately rare in Memphis. The
victim this time was a young gentleman,
known, loved and admired by q large
circle Of friends. Although he had been
among US only about a year and a hall,
his fine personal appearance, his anna.
bility and modestdemesnor had attracted
TO him all with whom he came in con-
tact; while the heroic fortituds with
which he bore a painful illness something
like a year ago, stamped him as one Of
those brave hearts, Of which our own
State boasts not a few. But yesterday
he was among us bright, cheerful aud
happy, and We shudder at the thought
that the dark waves Of the Father Of
Waters may now be rolling over him. 1t
is hardly believed that Captain Peter has
committed an act of felo de Sc, as bis
habits we're good. and furthermore, be
belonged to Captain Chris Steinkubl,
who treated him better probably than
any other cat has been treated since the
time of Moses. Chris says he can, and
will, whip the ma who stole his pet cat,
and in another column offers a reward
for the recovery Of Peter.

The dancing gIrl, dressed in the or
binary costume of the woman of the
people, a bodice and a very short sarri,
carries on her head a wicker wheel of
tolerably large diameter. placed in a
perfectly horizontal manner on the top
OF the crown, and around this wheel
threads are attached at equal distances,
provided at the extremities with slip
knot, which is kept open by means of a
glass bead. The dvneing girl advances
towards the spectators, holding a bas-
ket filled with eggs, which she hands
to us, so that we may verify that they
are real eggs and not an imitation. The
music strikes up monotonous and
jerking measure, and the dancer begins
turning herself around with great ra-
pidity. Then seizing an egg, she in
serts it in one of the slip-knots, and
with a sharp movement jerks it so as
to tighten the knot. By means of the
centrifugal force produced by the ra-
pidity of the dancers circular move
ment, the thread holding the egg is
stretched out so that the egg is placed
in a straight line with the prolonga-
ton of the corresponding spoke of the
wheel. One after the other the eggs
are thrown into the slip-knots, and
they soon form a horizontal aureola
round the head of the dancing girl. At
this point the dance becomes more and
more rapid, and the features of the dan
Ger can with difficulty be distinguished.
1t is critical moment; the least false
step, the slightest stoppage, and the
eggs will be smashed one against ano-
ther. Blu: now. how is the dance to be
interrupted? How is it to be stopped !?
There is only one way, and that is by
Withdrawing the eggs in the same man
ner in which they had been fixed
there, and in spite of all appearances to
the contrary, this last operation is the
more delicate of the two. The dancer
must, with one single clear and precise
movement seize the egg and Craw it
towards her; it is evident that, if the
hand were carelessly to place itself
within the circle. it would suffice for it
to touch one of the threads only for the
general harmony to be suddenly bro
ken. At last all the eggs are success
sively Withdrawn; the dancer abruptly
stops, and without seeming in the very
least degree dizzy from the constant
whirling, she advances with firm
step towards us, and presents us with
the eggs contained in the basket, which
are broken on the spot into place, by
way of proving the complete absence
of all trickery.

Iha Virtues of Saur kraut.

A German gastronomic scholar has
been at the pains to republish a disser-
tation upon saur kraut, which first saw
the light in the sixteenth century. 1t
was originally composed by writer
who calls himself Gnariponius, and
consists of collection of more than a
hundred medical panegyrics upon this
'ennobled cabbage" He says that Ju-
lively body physician to the Emperor
Maximilian III and Rudolf III, reached
an exceeding great age because he was
much addicted to the eating of saur
kraut. He frequently stated that it was
the most wholesome food of any, and
caused fewer complaints than any other
edible. Kraut made from the white
cabbage was not so good, he contended,
as that made from the red, but it might
be greatly improved in the process of
sowing, and the bad smell of some sour
kraut was due solely to the uncleanli-
ness or idleness of the manipulation.
Coarse, tough and moist 'kraut,' from
which the dirty and idle housewife has
not sufficiently expelled the wetness,
produces a melancholic blood, from
which acid damps arise to the head.
The earliest preacher of the virtues of
sauer kraut is, of course, Father Galen,
who commended it as panacea for the
gout. Other physicians have applied
it to almost every bodily i'll with sue
cess only to be equalled by some heal
all Of modern quack. One doctor
found it to be efficacious as a cure for
the bite of mad dog. The after-ef-
fects of drunken bout have also been
most successfully treated, as this old
author assures us, by simply binding
the head of the ''Trukenbold" with
warmed sauer kraut leaves"

HUMOROUS.

A FLY of Carthage, ILL.,, broke up a
happy family, and probably did more
irreparable damage than any that ever
flew since the saved pair of house flies
came out of the ark. Mr.. and Mrs.
James Howard had just married, and
gone to housekeeping They were very
happy until one of their flies dropped
from the ceiling into Mr.. Howard's
coffee one morning at breakfast. He
fished 1t out with a spoon and flung it
on Mrs. Howard's plate. She dashed
it back spunkily, and he returned the
compliment with rising spirit, not to
be Outdone playing "shOe fly" So the
fly was passed back and forth between
the plates many times, until it was worn
out and used up as a fiy. Howard had
the last toss, and when Mrs. Howard
couldn't find enough of the fly to throw
back she burst into tears, got her sun
bonnet, dashed it on, and ran with
might and main to her fathers house,
which was not far off. Howard went
TO his barn thinking over the very re-
cent past, and trying to solve the riddle
of women. Presently old Mr.. Symonds,
Mrs. Howard's father, came over in a
wagon for his daughters baggage, and
took all her things away. She declares
she couldn't stand such abuse, and that
she will never live with her husband
