CAN GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY.

A VALUABLE COLLECTION GOES TO THE AMEN.
CAN GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY.
EyChief Justice Charles 5. DAILY has recently givea
10 the American Geographical society OF this city, OF
which he is the president hs valuable collection of
books burinS on geography The collection is with
out doubt one OF the mo valuable colectins Of books
on geography in existence. There over 200 vol
umes. the gathering OF which represents a lifetime %
digent search and intelligent selection. Mr.. DAILY
when n young man took great interest in geographical
societies and preserved magazine newspaper articles
bearing the subject and arranged them IN book FORM
Ills collection rapidly grew, until It became necessary TO
assert and classify this Interesting mass OF material
and this opened larger and comprehensive field.
Mr. DAILY then separated his field Of study into tlN
smallest divisions and provided pamphlet for each
river town. mountain. lake or island and articles
descriptive of that particular place cut out and
neatly placed in the pamphlet together with other
clippings on the subject. The principal value
OF this system lies the fact That Magazine articles
or special newspaper articles ON some distant or In
terestng geographical point usually written by
some person who had visited these points in person or
had had some special facility In acquiring rare knowl'
edge on the subject and had given the reader tho
benefit of his experiences. In many cases these
articles were never put IN book form and were. to .
large measure Iost to the general searcher.
Mr.. Daily has been engaged In this collection since
he a boy and IN he Is seventy tive years.oh to-
day. this collection extends period OF fty five
years or more The collection has becn made the
valuable by the thoroughness with which 1t has been
made. Mr.. DAILY took all the leading magazines OF his
day and read them all with this end IN view and cut
everything which bore his line Of research lie
also u member OF several libraries which took ali
the lesser magazines and periodicals Mr. DAILY read
these also with this end In view and II he ACROSS
interesting geographical article he purchased copy
Of the magazine and added the article to his collection

The decisions OF thu Court of Appeals In the legis

the ballot reform act and greatly strengthen d
its effectiveness statute To enforce the secrecy Of

OF these decisions In this respect cannot be overratsd

tain specified topics. In pursuance Of such authority

TRICKS OF HINDU JUGGLERS.

The wonderful tricks oflegerdemain,
the feats of balancing, tumbling, and
rope-dancing performed by men and
women in the theatres and circuses in
this country, are hardly equal to the
commonest tricks and feats performed
by Hindu jugglers in their native
land.
1t is a very common sight in India
to sec young girls balancing them
selves on their heads with their heels in
the air, or to see them walking on
their hands and feet with their bodies
bent backwards. 1t is an easy thing
for girl of Is years to bend back
wards, plunge her head into hole
eighteen inches deep, full of water and
dirt, and bring up between he lips u
ring that was buried in the mud.
Women are not less dextcrous than
the girls and the men. They are fire.
quently seen dancing i'll couples on
slack ropes, one playing on the vina
or Hindu guitar, while the other poses,
postures, and capers gracefully about
with a vessel brimful Of water in each
hand, without spilling Il drop.
a Hindu jugglar will stand q pole
twenty feet high on the ground, and
then climbs to the top Of it as if it was
firmly rooted tree. He fixes the top
of thc,pole in the middle Of his sash,
and dances about in all directions with
out disturbing the equilibrium of the
pole. The same man, after giving an
exhibition of this sort, slides down the
pole, takes Il boy OH his shoulders,
climbs once more to the top, fixes the
top of the pole in the hollow of his
foot, and stands erect, balancing him
self, with the boy OH his shoulder, rs
easily as the average person would
balance himself on one foot on the
ground.
Another very difficult act is that of
balancing a sword with broad blade,
the point resting on the performers
chin; then the jugglcr will balance
Il straw on his nose, or OH Il small
stick which he holds in his lips. While
performing this trick the jugglcr some
times places piece Of thin tile OH his
nose, and tosscs up stone which, fall
ing on the tile, breaks it in pieces.
Some of the most wonderful teats of
these men are performed on the slack
rope. While bracing himself on the
rope, the performer carries IL long stick
on the end of his nose. At the top of
the stick is set large tray from which
walnut shells are suspended by threads.

Do ANIMALS DREAM.-Much re-
search and investigation warrants the
assertion that man is not the only ami
NAL subject to dreams. Horses neigh
and rear on their hind feet while fast
asleep; dogs bark and growl and in
many other ways exhibit all their
characteristic passions. 1t is highly
probable that at such times the re-
membrance of the chase or combat
is passing through the dogs minds.
Besides the above signs of feeting
pain, anger and excitement, those noble
creatures often manifest signs of kind
ness, playfulness and of almost every
other passion. Ruminent ANIMALS,
such as the sheep and the cow, are
believed to be less affected with dreams
than those of higher passions which
spend their waking hours in scenes of
greater excitement. Philosophers and
Investigators tell US that if we trace
the dream faculty still lower in the
scale of animal life we shall probably
find that the same phenomena exists;
and, Judging from analogy, it is only
reasonable to reckon dreaming as one
of the universal laws-almost as uni
versal as sleep itself.

A Son OF NAPOLEON BONAPARTE.
A dispatch from Findlay, o., says
that there died at the infirmary of that
county, on the morning of December
9, an old man named Paul Jordan,
who has always declared that he was
an illcgitimate son of Napoleon Bona
parte and that he was born in Paris in
1856, which statement, if true, would
make him, ut the time of his death, 1OG
years old.
Jordan's story was to the effect that
he went to Egypt in 1876 with Napole-
on upon his famous expedition to the
pyramids, and that he (Jordan) was
captured by the Turks, living with
them II nomadic life, afterward being
stolen by the Jews, and lived in Jeru-
salem until short time after his repu-
ted father was banishcd to the Island
of st. Helena.
Jordan has lived as IN inmate of the
Hancock county iniirmary for the past
ten years, having been found in be-
wildered condition in the southern
part of the county unable to give an
account of himself He afterward
proved to be able to speak French
tiucntly and was conversant with sew
eral of the dialects Of the Tartars and
nomadic Turks. His names were Civ
en- him by the Jews from those of the
apostle or rvcr-Paul and Jordan.
The story seems incredible, but Jor-
dan, who was Il fine looking person
with IN unusually large head and fine
broad features, bore remarkable re-
semblancc to the renowned Banaparte.
Jordan has remarkably small feet and
hands-Bonaparte's most distinguish
ing features.

motive the girl was very certain, and it
suddenly occurred to her that she must
be brave, catch Hines plot from his own
lips, and if possible outwit him. She
alone must be her sick fathers defender
if trouble was coming. Creeping a little
nearer to the plotters, she distinctly over
heard the following dialogue:
II tell yer, Finley, thars money in it
heaps an heaps. Thars not so valyble
er claim as this hyer anywher's on these
puraries," Hines was saying with en-
thusiasm.
"But air yer sure, Dick, thet ther coal
vein extends all erlong this crick?" asked
his companion.
"Of course I'm sure! Hain't dug
holes hyer all erlong ther creek ter find
out? Yes, sir; dug 'em hyer afore thet

had it all made up ter move inter ther

to reach the shells, and by sudden
movements of the lips he tosses each
shell upon the tray without deranging
anything or losing his balance.
While doing this he strings beads
upon a horse-hair by means of his
tongue, and without any assistance
from his hands.
The Hindus have found means Of
communicating their wonderful dex-
terity to domestic animals. They train
bullocks to perform very difficult tasks.
A Hindu juggler will lie down on his
back and place small piece of stout
wood, two feet high and six inches in
diameter, on the lower part of his
stomach. At his command trained
bullock will set its four feet on the top
of the stick and balance itself. The
juggler will then place another piece
of wood, similar to the first, a few
inches from it, and the bullock will
shift his position to it without touching
its feet to the ground. GOATS are also
taught wonderful feats by this queer
people.

PRESIDENT HARRIsON's LAST WORK.
Mr.. Harrison will get his last months
pay on February % or 80, next year, in
the shape of draft issued on Il war
rant signed as usual by the secretary
of the treasury and sent over to the
White House by messenger. The
amount ofthis draft would be 81, 1867,
but four days extra pay will be added
for March. On the evening OF March
3 he will go to the capitol, where he
will seat himself at the big table in
the center of the presidents room.
This is said to be the handsomest room
in the world, but the chief magistrate
of the nation only uses it once in two
wears. 1t has velvet carpet with a
pile so deep that the footsteps OF one
who walks upon it are noiseless. The
furniture is covered with red leather
and the ceiling is frescoed in the high
est stylc of art. Mr.. Harrison will
take a chair between the two great
mirrors, which so throw back each
others reflections that, looking III
either direction, he can see an intermi-
nab!c line of his own images extending
out of sight. Up to midnight he will
be occupied in hurriedly signing bills,
in order that they may become laws
before the expiration Of the Fifty-sec-
ond congress. 1t will be his last night
of power. The next day he becomes
private citizen, with no more control
over public affairs than new natural
lied foreigner.
