Tax ON TOhaCPO.

WAsH1NGTON, July l9.-SenatOT
Beck's motion fixing the tax upon to-
bacco at IL cents pound was carried
to-day by vote of 20 to 26. The divis-
ion was upon party lines, except in the
case OF Senator Jones, OF Nevada, and
Senator Kellogg, who voted attirma-
lively with the Democrats.
The fate of the bill remains uncer-
tain. II many of the Democratic
amendments are carried, the kepubli.
cans will be compelled to vote against
the bill, on the ground that 1t will not
leave revenue enough TO carry on the
affairs of the Government. It's hardly
probable that it will pass the House at

Their First Game.
The Olympics, a club lately organized,
played their first game yesterday with
the Enterprise and were badly beaten.
The club contains some excellent mate
rial and with little practice will
become proficient. Heston needs to be-
come more regular in his delivery al
though he is rather hard to hit. 0chel-
tree of the "0ur Boys" pitched for the
Enterprise, this no doubt contributing
to their large score. Beeson did some
excellent batting making four base
hits. Bickta at centre field did we'll,
as also did Brown at left field and Bee
son at third base. Dillman behind the
bat put out thirteen; Lamplugh at
first base put out ten of the Enterprise.
The score by innings is as follows;
Olympic, 0 3 0 0 0 0 6
Enterprise 3 0 1O1 l 0 t II

he took Northwestern when it was about

ais the difference in temperament be-
tween fat curiosities and living skele-
tons so great rs metaphysical CONTRAST"
Eyes, quite; for while fat boys and
fat girls are extremely good-natured
and sociable, and generous to fault,
the skeletons are an aggrieved, melan-
choly, peevish and saving lot. They
avoid making acquaintances in order to
be able to hoard their earnings and get
out of the business as soon as possible.
A living skeleton is extremely difficult
to get along with, because he. always
considers himself the most attractive GU
riosity in the show and is constantly
making demands accordingly. Most of
them have come from Massachusetts,,
where they were rural school-teachers
and shopkeepers. They are usually
well-educated and ready with their
tongue, especially when it comes to
talking about politics. Indeed, to talk
politics is their special hobby and
amusement, and with these discussions
and reading they spend most of their
time. Despite their thinness, they eat
about as much as ordinary folks"

binary persons more than other curiosi-
ties. How do they amuse themselves"
SWELL" the manager said, after q
little hesitation, 'Tll tellyou something.
There are no Circassian women in this
country. Those called Circassians are
simply pretty and shapely women who
have married side-show managers or
members of the troupe. They soak their
hair in sour beer and then pose as Cir
cassians. OF course, good deal of
their time during off hours is spent in
arranging their hair; the rest of the
time they spend like ordinary persons"
"And the double-headed womanP"
"She is the most charming of them
She has had liberal education,
and has travelled extensively Having
kept four eyes open during her travels,
and looked about with intelligent appre-
citation, she can converse in very lively
and engaging manner. She was born
slave on plantation in North Carolina.
But the owner of the plantation took
fancy to her and had her educated with
his son. Some time ago she was en-
abled to buy the place, and now, when
she is not ON exhibition, she lives on the
plantation, where she cares for her
father and other members of her family.
She has many friends, and, as she
speaks French, Spanish, and German,
she enjoys the society of foreigners as
well as that of her own countrymen.
She receives thirty or forty letters a
day"
''Do curiosities generally earn much

''Some have very large salaries. The

Captain and Mrs. Bates, $500. Single

A MARYLAND Fire Eater.

Nathan Coker is of pure African line
age, black rs ebony and of stalwart
frame. He is now somewhere between
60 and 20 years of age, and has resided
all his life in the lower part of Tucka-
hoe Neck, Md. He has no knowledge
of books, cannot even repeat the alpha
bet-but is much above mediocrity in
point of general intelligence and good,
hard, corn-field common-sense as COM
pared with his race. When quite young
he conceived the idea of becoming fire.
proof, and before he was 25 he was
veritable fire-king. How he acquired
the power to perform the feats of plac-
ing his hands and arms in vessel of
boiling water and holding them there
for ten minutes, licking red-hot shovel,
holding in his mouth molten lead, and
even swallowing it, as well rs many
others more daring, without apparent
injury, no one knows, nor has he ever
full if he can himself explain the mys-
terry; but he can and does handle bars
of iron glowing with white heat, eat
glowing charcoal made from hickory or
oak wood, walk bare-footed on red
hot bar of iron sixteen feet long, with
perfect GOODNESS and deliberation. These
facts are attested by many respectable
witnesses. He used to delight in fright
ening the ignorant and superstitious
country people, to whom he was I'M
known, whenever he found crowd gath
cred around the stove in village or
country store, by stalking in, opening
the stove door and running his hand in
the fire, and deliberately taking live
coal in his fingers and place it in his
pipe and walk Off
He was at one time on exhibition, and
his strange feats created considerable
excitement, but owing to his dislike of
notoriety and his lack of education he
soon retired from the stage. His power
of resisting the effects of fire is singu-
lar, and has never, so far rs L know,
been explained. though he has been ex-
amined by number of scientific men.
Many of the colored people. and in fact,
not n few of the whites, who had been
taught by the crude theologians of fifty
years ago to believe in personal devil,
with horns, tail, and cloven feet, whose
kingdom was the bottomless pit, and
who occasionally treated his refractory
subjects to doses of molten lead, firmly
believed, and perhaps some of them still
believe, that Nathan was sort of bre-
vet devil himself Wilmington Nc,os.
