SWALLOWED TOO MANY SWORDS.
Cliquot Thrust Fourteen Down His Throat
and tainted With Pain.

NEW YORK, January &c. Z. Gil
quot, pleasant-looking Canadian, who
makes bis home in New York, has
clever way Of putting the tip OF
sword in his mouth and then letting
the blade drop ont of sight. This is
professionally termed sword swallow
ing. It was suggested to the doctors
at the Metropolitan Throat Hospital
that they might be interested in OBJ
serving the effect produced by this feat
upon the muscles OF the throat and
oesophagus, so yesterday afternoon
Cliquot gave private exhibition. 1t
interested the doctors greatly. Incl
deutally it surprised Cliquot and
alarmed his wife, for the sword swsl-
lower narrowly escaped doing himself
serious injury.
Cliquot stripped to the waist for bis
work and began with bunch Of four
swords. The blades were about twenty
inches long and three quarters Of an
inch wide, with b]unted points and
dulled edges. Fixing the swords so
that they rested on each other like a
pack of cards be put them to bis
mouth, and pushed them down bis
esophagus until all but the handles
were hidden. His chest heaved fast
as though he were working hard, but
be showed no sign Of pain. The
swords were flexible, and by the for
ward motion of his head he bent them
to an angle Of about forty-fve degrees.
Then he took stiff sword about
twenty-five inches long, and, after
starting it in the right path, he asked
a spectator to seize the hilt and push
the sword down till the hi!t almost
touched bis teeth. After performing
successfully number Of other feats,
Cliuuot took fourteen Of the flexible
swords, and, placing them on top Of
each other as before, he explained that
be would swallow them all at once
and then have them pulled from his
throat one by one. When the swords
were about half way down he seemed
to be in great pain. His chest moved
rapidly and be gasped oace or twice
for breath. But the swords We're
pushed down until Ciiquot signalled
for them to be pulled out. He seemed
in such distress that ali fourteen were
removed together instead of one at a
time.
When this had been done the sword
swallower sank feebly into a chair
Perspiration moistened his forehead,
and bv seemed to be in great pain. He
rested few moments, and then an at
tendaut brought hin some whiskey,
but he couldn't swallow it. The doc
tors gave hin an injection Of NOR
phiue TO relieve the pain. Then he
was hustled into a cao and driven to
the Union Square Hotel, wh re he is
staying. Two doctors were called to
attend him there, @s it was thought
that he might have punctured the
esophagus or the stomach. They said
he had done neither, hut had probably
distended the osophagus SO that it be-
came nervousiy excited.

The Story of ShYIock.

TR. NJ. 0. in Nilledgeville Recorder.l
Every one who Las read the 'Merchant
OF Venice" in which 'Shylock. the Jew
plays so conspicuous part, and where a
grasping, heartless money dealer is often
likened to Shylock, may be surprised to
learn that the story is really true and
founded on an actual bet.
Shakespeare did not tell the story as it
actually occurred. 1t was not the Jew
who wanted the pound of flesh, but an
italian by the name of Panl Secchi. Ad-
miral Drake took st. Domingo IN 1855.
1t was reported in Rome that Drake
had taken and plnndered st. Domingo.
This account came in private letter to
Paul Secchi. d merchant CT wealth IN the
CITY. who had large dealings in those parts
which be had insured. Upon receiving
the ewshe sent for the insurer, Samson
Cenada, Jew, and acquainted him with
the fact
The Jew. whose interest it was to have
such report thought false, gave many
reasons Why it could not possibly be true
and at last worked himself into such a
passion in his denial, said: "Ill lay a
pound of my flesh that it is a lie Seccbi,
who was of hot temper, replied: I'll
lay you thousand crowns against a
pound Of your flesh that it IS true"
The Jew. Samson Cenada, accepted the
wager, and articles were Immediately exc
cuted between them that if Secchl Won, he
should himself cut the pound OF flesh
with sharp knife from whatever part OF
the Jews body he pleased. The truth
Of the account of taking st. Domingo was
soon confirmed, and the Jew was almost
distracted when lie was informed that
Paul Secchi had solemnly sworn he
would compel him to an exact perfor-
nance OF his contract.
The report of the bet and that Secchi
intended to have his pound Of flesh, was
told to Sext.ls the fifth, pope Of Rome. lie
sent for Secchi and the Cenada, and said,
when contracts are made it is but just
HAT they shonld be fulfilled, and this
shall. Take knife therefore Secchi and cut
pound OF flesh from any part you please
of the Jews body. We advise you. how
ever. to be careful, for if you cut out a
scruple more or scruble less, you shall
certainly hang"
Secchl did not like such close caicula-
tions, and refused to take his pound of
flesh. Cenada then paid over to Secchl,
one thousand crowns. which Sextus took,
and made Secchi pay another thousand
for making such an inhuman bet. Such
is the true story written in an old book
by Grey Lett, who wrote the life of Sex
tus Ii the reader will think moment,
and is at all acquainted with history, he
would know that Jew IN those days
could not have made such bet with a
Christian, and expect to get a pound OF
flesh. The law would not have permitted
him to injure a Christian. Sextus put
two thousand CROWNS in the papal treas
ury, having very good excuse Tor so DO.
ing. The church II those days took good
care OF tself.

Col. Throckmorton's Prayer.
From the Washington Post. ]

I lOIIl lllO w WA l. Wv
"Col. Throckmorton, distinguished
Kentucklan in his day." said Mr..
Charles F. Joy, twas once a passenger
on wooden sailing vessel on the high
seas when frightful storm burst and
the vessel became water-logged. The
ship was pitching and dancing about
on the crest of the telnpestuous ocean
like straw in whirlpool. The pas
sengers were crying and appealing to
Heaven for aid. Col. Throcknorton,
with all the gravity Of Kentucky
gentleman, viewed the scene with COM
posure. The storm increased in fury.
The sailors were running about, the
officers we!e shouting, and everything
was in confusion. About this stage OF
the proceedings the Colonel edged over
TO the side Of the Captain and said:
"'Teli me, is there really any danger:
You zee what toe rest Of the pas
SeogerS are DONG, rSpilec tne captain,
they are making their peace with God.
II you ever do any praying Colonel,
you might DO 50 with perfect propriety
at this juucture. The vessel can't live
five minutes. The next pitch or two
vii! send her to tie bottom with all on
board
The Colonel Strengthened himself,
lifted his hat, looked up to the scowlirg
sky with Z reverent mien, and ex-
ciaimed:
Almighty God, if you ever intend
70 do Col. Throckmorton Of kentucky
q favor now is your time to do it"
Col. Throckmorton," concluded Mr..
Joy, Lived to tell this story Eimself.'
