India. It consists of Yoghi or Rishi planting mango on the earth in an open square before an audience of from 30 to 1000, who gather about him closely, and in three or four minutes making a mango tree from 40 to 100 feet in height appear bearing fruit. In all cases but one when the doctor changed his position, going near or farther from the point he was stand- ing the image became dull and finally disappeared. But when the Rishi had performed the feat Dr. Hensoldt found that the tree retained it's real ism until he approached the trunk, which he not only touched but climbed up it's stem several feet. Dr. Hensoldt declares that he has seen the cele- brated rope trick performed on four different occasions, and closes by say ing that ''the earliest cradle of our race and civilization, Hindustan, still holds the key to many a mystery which will tax the ingenuity of our best reasoners for ages to come.

The London Financial News, the
 leading journal of it's class in England,
 has this among other things, to say
 regarding the silver situation in this
 country:
 Senator Cameron points a plain
 moral when he remarks that if the
 United States would venture to cut
 herself adrift from Europe and take
 outright to silver, she would have all
 America and Asia at her back, and
 would command the market of both continents. The barrier of gold would
 be more fatal than any barrier of custom house. The bond of silver
 would be stronger than any bond of free trade.
 "There can be no doubt about it, than if the United States were to adopt silver basis tomorrow, British trade would be ruined before the year was out. Every American industry would be protected, not only at home, but in every other market. Of course, the states would suffer to certain ex- tent through having to pay her obli- gations abroad in gold; but the loss on exchange under this head would be a mere drop in the bucket compared with the profits to be reaped from the markets of South America and Asia, to say nothing of Europe.
 "The marvel is that the United States has not long ago seized the op- portunity, and butsfor the belief that the way of England is necessarily the way to commercial success and pros perty undoubtedly it would have been done long ago. Now, Americans are awakened to the fact that so long as they narrow their ambition to become 3 larger England they can beat us. It has been piece of luck for us that it has never before occurred to the Amer jeans to scoop us out of the worlds markets by going on silver basis, and 1t might serve us right if irritated by the contemptuous apathy of our gov srnment to the gravity of the silver problem, the Americans retaliate by freezing out gold.
 Ut could easily be done, and we pro- pose shortly to show, by evidence col ected from perfectly unprejudiced sources, that even now the process has begun, and is proceeding at rate that will astonlsh most people, and probab- y make this country regret that it did lot at an earlier stage fashion it's mo- letary policy on principles of friendli- ness to other nations, instead of on selfshness."

Hindu Magicians.

ulsCuSscu Jne change WHICH IlaS come
 over the attitude of advanced thinker:
 in regard to Oriental magic. In the
 course of the article Dr. Hensoldt says
 The Hindus have come to recognize
 that there may be such things as ma.
 tural forces, or substances, on this
 planet of ours, which have as yet elud-
 ed the grasp of Western science
 forces which our chemists and physl
 clans can neither gauge, weigh nor
 measure, and that there is possibili-
 ty that among subtle race like the
 Hindus, which is immeasurably older
 in civilization and experience than our own, some of these forces may have
 been discovered, even thousands of years ago, and preserved among the wisest of it's representatives, who in consequence Of such knowledge can perform feats which to our limited un- derstandlng are perfectly miraculous. It would seem as if the IIindus, owing to that intense love for solitary medi- tation, had acquired mental faculties Of which we as race are totally defi- cient. We have an abundant evidence Of the fact that one nation may ac- quire mental traits, dispositions or talents in which another is utterly de- ficlent. There are latent powers in man which are susceptible of the high est culture, and it is more than preb- able that faculty once aroused and perslstently exercised for a number of generations may develop into per manent characteristic.
 It would seem as if among the Hin dus speculative philosophy had been the ruling fancy from very remote antiquity and, moreover, that kind of philosophy which does not depend up- on an interchange of ideas for it's ad- yancement, but is based almost entire ly upon intuition, viz, upon the culti- vation of certain mysterious innate faculties which are presumed to lie dormant even in the breast of the say age. While our forefathers, driven partly by the Iexigencies of an inhos- pitahle climate, were chiefly engaged in establishing a material prosperity
 thereby unconsciously stimulating acquisitiye or accumulative faculty, and transmitting to us the desire for wealth as rooted instinct-the Hin- dus have descended into the abysma- depths of their own consciousness, and | have tried to solve the great world rid dle by mere force of meditation. Whether they have accomplished | much in this way l will not attempt here to discuss. In my opinion they have come much nearer to the truth than we, with our endless empiricism | and experimental torturing of matter. But if they have not succeeded in solving any great fundamental pro- blem, they have discovered a number Of strange facts of which we are prac- tically ignorant.
 One of their earliest triumph was the discovery and application of that strange psychic force known to us as lypnotism. We have only just begun 10 realize that there is such a force md are on the threshold, as it were, of dominion which is as boundless as it Is marvellous; but the discoveries which we are making today were made ears ago by the Sanscritic Indians 1 nd lranians, and, while our knowl- dge of the subject is chiefly derived I rom or based upon the experiments { f few investigators during recent ' ears, the Hindus have the exnerience !

let go of it, leaving the shell held rigid
 in the air without support. l saw an-
 other fakir hold half of a cocoanut
 high above his head with his naked
 arm and pour out enough water to fill
 dozen buckets. There are thousands
 of Pundits in India who are not jug
 glers, but those who are of the class of
 the fakir, making their living from it.,
 differing from the Yoghis and Rishis,
 who accept no money. The Pundits
 are men highly educated, who make a
 speciality of suspending the law of
 grayitation, so to speak. l now come
 to the highest order of Oriental magi-
 cians, viz, the Yoghis and Rishis.
 The performances of these men are so
 very strange that the term tricks
 seems altogether incongruous, if ap-
 piled to them. We might as we'll call
 the miracles recorded in the New
 Testament as worked by Christ
 tricks" for, except that of raising
 the dead, not one of them is half so wonderful as the feats performed by the average Yoghi. Those who be- lieye that the age of miracles is past should by all means go to India. The
 Ioghis are not professional conjurers. They do not make their living by per forming tricks before crowds or au- diences of any kind, nor do we find them exhibiting their wonderful pow CTS very frequently. In my opinion they are religious enthusiasts in the first instance and adopts Of higher science in the second. They certainly are esoteric initiates, that is to say, members of fraternity which seems to have in it's charge the secrets of Hinduthought and meditation, or rather the fruits thereof, handed down perhaps from a time which we would fain call prehistoric.
 1 have never known Yoghi to &C., cept money, either before or after performance. 1 myself have repeat edly tempted them, but ir was always refused, kindly but firmly. They live on rice, which they obtain in precisely | the same manner as the Buddhist priests, viz, by begging. They are, in fact, travelling missionaries, at least the Yoghis are, while the Rishis are hermits, who live in the jungle or in the hill country in solitary huts and cayerns, which they quit comparative y seldom, to carry some mysterious to the outer world. These Iuiet, unobtrusiye men, with their fine aces-foreheads which re- feet the wisdom of a thousand years actually obtain their food by beg ying. This may seem incredible, but t is true. The reader may be natural y inclined to ask: Why don't some of hem go to Europe or the United States, and by exhibiting their powers make fortunes? These men are be- 'ond the desire of making fortunes which it may be difficult or Americans to realize. They look lpon the brief span of life which se- 'arates us from eternity with alto -ether different eyes, and their con- empt of wealth is only equaled by heir pity for those who are incessant- y engaged in it's pursuit. These men rave mission to perform in their own ountry, and like the prophets of old, hey work miracles in order to arrest he attention of the people. The ml- acles, in fact, are their credentials.
