4 Minutes and 81 Seconds.
Carrolton, Mo-, Democrat, July 8.
Every year or two the irrepressi-
BILE Jim. Lawton, the sensational
miller of the Moses, gets up either
fish story or q bread story that
wakes up the old fogies and makes
them stare over their wonder strick-
en- spectacles. The last sensation of
this kind occurred last Thursday,
when aboEt fifty men were present
by invitation, to see Lawton beat
his own time of two years ago,
when his wife had bread baked in
eight and a quarter minutes after
the wheat was standing in the field.
AT 4 O'Clock, & minutes and 10 sec
onds, the Buckeye Reaper, drawn
by Cy. Burnett's dun mules, and
driven by Will Turpin, stood at the
corner of the growing wheat, ma
chine in gear and ready for start.
Men were stationed every few feet
along the line of grain ready to seize
and rush with it to the Chicago
Pitts thresher, close by, which, un-
der the direction of the veteran driv-
ers, Buckingham and Humphreys,
was getting under way for bust
ness. At the mill, which was just
sixteen rods away, Lawton stood at
the window watching the moment
when McCaw, on the swiftest horse
in the county, should start from
the thresher with the grain, while
Mrs. Lawton and her niece, Miss
Alice, had all the preparations made
to make griddle cakes and bisc uits
In the shortest possible time. The
stove was bran new Superior"
set up that morning in the mill by
+. w. Devine, and was q donation
to the occasion by Bridge, Beach &
Co., of St. Louis.
At the drop Of the hat the dun
mules sprang to the work, and in
one minute and Is seconds the
threshed wheat, about q peck, was
in the sack and on the horse and
the race commenced for the mill.
There were two bridges to cross,
and the crowd could only see col
umn of dust, hear q couple of taps
on the plank bridges as the horse
few over them at lightning speed,
and the wheat was delivered to
haWtOH III INC En1li. IN minute
and IL seconds the flour was deliv-
cred to Mrs. LswtOn, and in 3 min
utes and 55 seconds from the start
ing of the reaper the first griddle
cake came from the hands of Miss
Alice, was gobbled by 8 dozen diff
ferent hands, and-that was the last
of it. In 4. minutes and 81 seconds
from the starting of the reaper, &C
cording TO the best double timer
stop watch in the country, held by
Charley Brachen, g pan of biscuits
was delivered to the hungry crowd
by Mrs. LawtoD, and-that was the
last seen of them.

The government having decided
to transfer the cases of the imprison-
ed revenue officers to the United
States courts at all hazards, the
backbo of the South Carolina null
lifers weakened very perceptibly,
and a demand for the prisoners
made upon the Sheriff at Greenville,
on the Sth, was complied with, the
sheriff, however throwing in fee
BILE piece of acting to relieve his
state rights conscience, and preserve
the sacred dignity of the common
wealth. Thus ends Judge Ker-
shaw's rebellion, unless an irrespon-
sible mob should attempt interfer-

likely.

can well believe that the account is
not exaggerated. In Delhi, India,
we saw the celebrated basket trick
which is sometimes poorly initiated
by professional magicians in this
country. A native produced bask-
ct and a blanket, and, after permit
ting us to see that they contained
nothing, inverted the basket on the
ground and covered it with the
blanket. We paid no attention to
his incantations, but kept our eyes
fixed on the basket and the space
around it, resolved that nobody
should be smuggled into it or out
OF it without seeing him. What
made the fent still more wonderful
was the fact that the performer
stood in a clear space, and we could
look down upon him as he proceed
ed. He went through the customa-
ry act of thrusting q sword through
the interstices of the basket, when
the cries of a boy were heard as if
in mortal pain issuing from the
basket. Turning it over there was
. boy within apparently unhurt and
enjoying the fun. Restoring the
basket with the blanket over it, the
juggler went through some incanta-
tions, and then running his sword
under the blanket, tossed it away
from him. Turning over the basket
no boy was to be seen. So far as
could be observed there
was no possible space in which the
little fellow could be concealed.
Another feat quite as astonishing
we saw performed in the streets OF
Constantinople. An itinerant ma
gician showed US a cane which had
the appearance of being wood and
very knotty. This he tossed in the
air as high as he could, and when it
struck the ground it took the form
of live serpent. with blazing eyes
and rapid movements. 1t looked |
like a dangerous specimen and one
which no man in his senses would |
like to approach. Catching up this
the fellow coiled it around |
his neck and fondled it, while il
writhed and exhibited the most ven
omous qualities. Throwing it high |
up in the air it fell to the ground |
the same cane which we had hand
led at our ease. 1t was this trick |
which Aaron performed in Egypt |
when he turned his rod into a SER
pent, and the Egyptian magician did |
the same thing in imitation.
