Conjurers Of Old.
Wonders Performed Before Distinguished
Percentages.
Iron the Boston Herald. |

From the Boston Herald
The medium of the present day
bears closer resemblance, in meth
dds and manipulatiOns, TO the we'll
known conjurOr of history than any
other representative Of the magic
art. How far short he still remains
of the performances of his proto-
types is illustrated below. In 1915
n delegation of highly educated and
distinguished men from the English
East India company visited the
Emperor Jehangire. While on their
mission they witnessed many most
wonderful performances, almost
causing them to discredit their
senses, and far beyond any hint
even of solution. A party of Ben.
gaiese conjurors and jugglers, show
ing their art before the Emperor,
were desired to produce on the spot,
and seed, ten mulberry trees. They
Immediately planted ten seeds,
which in few minutes produced as
many trees. The ground divided
over the spot;wheu seed was plant
ed tiny leaves appeared, at once
followed by slender shoots, which
rapidly gained elevation, putting
out leaves and twigs and branches,
finally spreading wide in the air,
budding, biossomiug and yielding
fruit, which matnred upon the spot,
and was found excellent. And this
before the beholder turned away
his eyes. Fig, almond, mango and
walnut trees were at the same time,
under like conditions, produced,
yielding the fruit which belonged
to each. Wonder succeeded wonder.
The branches were filed with birds
of beautiful plumage fitting about
among the leaves and singing sweet
notes. The leaves turned to russell,
fell from their places, branches aud
twigs withered, and finally the trees
sank back into earth, out of which
they had all sprang within the hour.
The same conjurers performed q
series Of mavels. One of them pro.
duced a chain fifty cubits in length.
One eud Of this chain he threw into
the air, when the chain rapidly ran
out its whole length, and remained
fixed in the air rs il fastened
against the sky. A dog was then
placed upon the chain, when he ran
up to the further end, and at once
disappeared heavenward. A bog,
a panther and other large animals,
were successfully dispatched up
this aerial pathway, and each in
tnrn disappeared from the far end.
Nor were they seen again; and final.
~ the chain was Withdrawn, and
placed in a bag for convenient car
rage.
Another had a bow and about
fifty steel.pointed arrows. He shot
an arrow into the air, when, 10! the
arrow became fixed in space, at a
considerable height. Another and
another was set of, each fixing it
self in the shaft of the preceding
one, uutil all formed a chain of ar.
rows in the air, excepting the last
shot, which, striking the chain
brought the whole to the ground in
detachments.
They set up two common tents,
facing each other, aud about bow.
shot distance apart. These tents
were critically examined By the

HOMEOPATHY.

Take a little wife,
The prettier the better;
Pat her cheek aud when
She wants to kiss you-let her.
Keep her in the house
There she'll cook your mutton;
Darn yonr jacket, too,
II she's worth q button.
Never mind the lots
OF her aunts and cousins,
Ask them to drop in"--
Dine them by the dozens.
One Of these odd days
You'll feel al inch taller,
When you see her hug
A chopping little squaiier.

ACCORDING to Dun & Co.'s review of the
failures for the first half of 1873, they
amounted to FIVE thousand eight hundred and
twenty-five in number and one hundred and
thirty million eight hundred and thirty-two
thousand seven hundred and sixty-six in dol
lars, the average liabilities being twenty two
thousand four hundred and sixty dollars, or
twenty-five per cent. greater than in 1877.
The reasons for this are briefly presented as
consisting of an unusually open winter, re-
tarding sales, deliveries of produce, and col
lections; the discussions in and out of con-
gress of financial measures, and the necessary
condition of uncertainty that resulted the
possibility of important changes in the tariff;
the postponement of the date of the repeal
of the bankrupt law, and, finally, the steady
decline in prices of merchandise and the gen.
eral shrinkage of values, which, it Is said,
have been more apparent in the past six
months than ever befor', especially whenever
it became necessary to realize.

amount equally between the trustees, The

self were divided into two equal parts. One
part was retained by these officers and N.Y.
