THE HrNDoo JUGdLERs.
Speaking of the Hindoo Jugglers who will
appear at City Hall tonight the Boston
Herald says:
Esofally speaks word, and Imambarkers
smilingy drops upon his knees before bag in
the corner, which, If one was in provision
store, would probably be mistaken for a
potato bag, partly filled. From this he takes
first smaller bag, which squrms and un-
dulates, as though there was cat within
ready for drowning. He releases the causes OF
the motion, which proves to be particularly
active mongoose, little animal, the deadly
enemy OF all snake families. Next are pro.
ducel from the larger bag two baskets, round
and flat. With great loquacity and look
which shows him confident one must admire
the exhibition, Imambarkers jerks off the lid
of the smaller basket, and thrusts his fingers
viciously inside. Like o flash comes up the
head of a cobra, the hood fattened, and
deadly hiss which accompanies lightning
stroke at his disturber, shows the quality Of
whose movements excel those of any snake,
catches the "varmint'' dexterously by the
neck, and tucks him back into the basket,
seeming. to coax him to lie quietly, as one
would deal with a hayward child. Then,
knocking off the lid from the larger baket,
the great yellow cobra de capello is revealed.
Imambarkers whole soul is now filled with
admiration. He invites the attack of the
snake, as in the first instance, and treats 1t in
the same manner. The fangs of these snakes
have been removed, but the deadly virus re-
mains behind, and, if the charmer should
have skinless place on his hands which
might receive a stroke, there could be but one
result. Bnt the charmer intends to allow no
such performance, and is q match for any
snake in quickness of movement, while he
seems to know intutively what his snakeship
will do next. By and by, on the platform be-
fore the audience, when the music (more
horrors) is in full tide, he will allow the cobras
to twist and writhe about his neck and persons,
and seem to talk to them confdential'y in
some language which soothes and enchains
them.
The tickets can be found at Stockbridge's
during the day.

A correspondent writes of Adam owski, the
Polish violinist, who will appear here in con-
cert January 7th: "a sentiment attaches to
young Adamowski's presence and a romance
in his life and devotion to one of Americas
fair daughters decided his fate and brought
him to our shores. His personal presence is
most winning. and his temnerannont is IF the
Quest. Ills music breathes his passion, and in
his performance one listens to poem set to
music. He has latterly been engaged in
writing an operetta, the words by Mrs. Julia
Ward Howe, and his reception among the
musical circles of Boston has been most
hattering and appreciative.

The Jacksonville, Oregon, Sentinel
says: 1t is said that the severe cold
last winter has killed many of the
black oaks in this section. Mr.. Ash
mead of Rock Point, has been investi-
eating the matter, and has failed to
ind single tree that has not been
killed. In other localities it is evil
dent that the oak has been severely
injured, as the buds show no signs of
swelling. When timber, indigenous
to this section, is killed, the very eX-
ceptional character of the late winter
will be understood.
