INDIAN FAKIRS.
An Eye Witness Describes Two An
parentIy Miraculous Fcafs.


parentIy Miraculous Fcafs.
From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
India is pre-endrently the land of
mystery, and our most advanced ma
gicians have never been able to repro
duce all their marvellous performances
One day in the market place of an in
land village I saw a curious perform
ance. 1t was conducted by two men
one old and emaciated, carrying a.
native drum; the other young and well
fed, Enthusiastically gowned with an
overskirt of colored kandkerchiafs and
multitude of bells, which tangled
nuisly at his slightest movement long.
ragged hair-altogether a hideous fig
Ure.
The drummer began a weird tom
toming, and the other man an mean
tation; then he extended Supra
bamboo tray used by all natiVes-on
which any one who pleases places 81
large handful Of rice, and the same
quantity Of grain. The two ingredients
are thoroughly anna gamated, so that
1t would, in the ordinary way, take
hours to separate them.
NOW the fantastic man With his tray
begins. He turns around slowly, grad
ually cudcken.ng his pace (the drummer
also keeping time), faster and facter
In a gJcdy vortex, the tray at times
almost out Of his hands, yet 50 cleverly
handled that not grain falls out 1t
is very trying to watch but In a couple
OF minutes both stop simultaneously,
and the man shows to the wondering
spectators two little heaps, one of rice
and the other grain, at different ends
of the tray, which I'm his sickening
gyrations he has been able to separ ate
by some extraordinary manipulation
I,afa
able to witness one Of thoEe remarkable
cases Of voluntarily suspended anirna-
ton Of which I had so frequently heard,
with somewhat dubious smile l am
afraid. But I am convinced now.
1t wes called a 'Joghee" perform
ance and took place before the Maha-
rajah of Dhurbanga, whose guest I
had the honor to be.
The "Joghee" was put by his disci-
pies into trance. He became perfect
ly unconscious and dead to all appear
ances. An English doctor present felt
his pulse and found it had ceased. and
looking glass showed not the slight
est moisture Of any breath IN the body.
The "Joghee" was put into a. coffin, the
lid screwed on, and seals were i'm
pressed on it with the Maharajah's
signet ring.
The box was buried five feet deep,
earth thrown IN and well stamped.
Grain was then sown and trusty SEN
tries guarded the place.
The grain had sprouted and borne
corn. when we were invited again, af-
ter sixty days, to witness the resur-
rection of the body. The grave was
opened. and the cofh Mound to be in
tact. The seals were broken, the lid
unscrewed, and the "Joghee" was taxi
en- out stiff and stark. His disciples
now began TO manipulate the body and
to go through certain rites, very SINH
lar to nesmerism. and by degrees the
dead man opened his eyes, culver ran
through his body and he sat up erect.
