A traveller at Kinsal was entertain

and this was one Of the amusements /:


"That same night 3 juggler ap-
peared, who was one Of the Great
Kaan's slaves, and the Amir said to
him. Come and show US some OF
your wondersp Upon this he took a
wooden ball with seven holes in it,
through which long thongs were
passed, and laying hold Of one OF
these slung it into the air, 1t went
so high that we lost sight of it alto
gether. Ut was the hottest season of
the year, and we were outside in the
middle of the palace court. There
now remained only short end of a
thong in the coDjureris hand, and he
desired one Of the boys who assisted
him TO lay hold OF it and mount. He
did so, climbing by the thong, and We
lost sight of him. The cOnjurer called
to him three times, but, getting no
answer, he sHatched up knife. as If
in q great rage, laid hold of the thong
and disappeared in his turn. By.and-
by he threw down one Of the boys
hands, then a foot, then the trunk,
and last Of all the head! Lastly, he
came down himself, putting and blow
ing, and with his clothes all bloody,
kissed the ground before the Amir,
and said something 10 him in Chinese.
The Amir gave some order in reply,
and our friend then took the lads
limbs, laid them together in their
places and gave them kick, when

A stock dealer named Tom Johnson,
returning from the East with the pro-
ceeds Of q fine lot of cattle in his
breeches pocket, landed in this city
on Saturday morning and proceeded
to " do the town." While thus plea
sanity engaged, he came in contact
with a man OF pleasing exterior named
Brown (?), who by his genteel man
ners and insinuating address, soon
won the confidence of the unsuspect-
ing stock dealer, and the twain were
soon vending their way toward the
depot, engaged in pleasant converse.


Among the many topics Of interest
discussed by these new made friends,
was the state of The dry goods market;
and this reminded Brown that he
had bale Of dry goods at the depot
to leave on the early train thathad not
been paid FOR. 1t was too late to have
the checks cashed. and he must have
500 before the train started, or he
could not take the goods.

friend Brown, but couldn't see how
he could help him. Suddenly an idea
seized the latter gentleman. He had
Just returned from the West was
member of a mining company that
had located a splendid piece of land
in Montana, and had within a few
days struck fine vein of silver. The
bonds of the company were at a
premium. He had a small quantity
of the stock with him, and though he
hated to part with it, would sell his
friend johnson a thousand dollars
worth for 500, rather than have his
goods delayed. Would his friend like
to purchase? johnson, after some
little hesitation, accepted the generous
offer Of his friend Brown and counted
down 500 i'm greenbaeks, receiving
the mining stock in exchange.


Brown then started for the depot,
leaving johnson to examine his prize
at leisure-which he did-and was
struck all in heap to discover that
the certificate was worthless, and
that he had been made the victim Of
a sharper.


Officers MeCabe and McEwen now
seek to cultivate the acquaintance Of
the perfidious Brown.

the streets and started for the river
but were overtaken by the storm Of
fire, and fell in the middle of the
streets. One man carrying his wife,
approached the. river, but the blast
drove him over some obstruction, and,
falling, he was separated from her.
He picked up a woman, supposing
her to be his wife, carried her to
the river, and saved her. 1t proved
to be another mans wife, and his own
was lost. One man was sick of ty-
phOid fever; a young man stopping
with him took the sick man out back
of the house and buried him in the
sand. He was saved, and is rapidly
gaining his health.


The half has not been told; the
whole will never be known. The loss
of lie increases every hour. On Fri
day last twenty-six dead bodies were
found in the woods, and Saturday
thirty-six. The woods and fields are
literally fullof dead bodies, and mary
were burned entirely up. We found
some teeth, jack knife, and a slate
pencil. 1t must have been all that
remained of a promising boy. Truly
in this case the darkness precedes the
light. On Sunday night, October 8,
Just after the churches were closed,
for half an hour there reigned the
stiffness of death. The smoke settled
down so thickly that the darkness,
like Egyptian, could be felt. Then
came light gusts of wind, and in the
south was seen through the smoke
and darkness faint glimmers of light.
The earth trembled, and the roar of
the approaching tornado and the
shock of the falling trees broke the
awful stiffness. Nc one could realize
the approaching danger, when in al
most a moment the holocaust was
upon them. The fire, in its madden
ing rage, could not keep pace with
the wind, and trees, and houses, and
men were blown down that they
might be more rapidly consumed.
Men, women, and children rose again
to rush like spectres through the
flames, and fell separated from each
other. In this terrible moment men
thought the fiual day hadcome when
the earth should be burned, and they
bowed themselves to offer their last
prayer. More might have been saved
If this conviction had not seized them.
One man gathered his family into his
store, and resignedly walked 10 and
fro in the room, awaiting the awful
consequences, and if they believed
prophecy, had they not reason for
this belief? A day of darkness and
of gloominess, day of clouds and of
thick darkness. as the morning spread
upon the mountains. A fire deYoureth
before them, and behind them flame
burneth; the land is as the Garden of
Eden before them, and behind them
& desOlate wilderness; yea, and moth
ing shall escape them. The appear.
ance of them is as the appearance Of
horses, and as horsemen, so shall they
run. The earth shall quake before
them; the heavens shall tremble, and
the sun and the moon shall be dark,
and the stars shall withdraw their
shining.


The best data gave the loss in the
Sugar Bush and Peshtigo at eight
hundred. On the east shore forty
bodies were found in one field. They
had fled to the field hoping to escape,
and they ran into the worst place
possible. Small elearings were more
safe than large fields.

SALT LAKE. October 21.-The jury
in the Hawkins case, came in last
night with a sealed verdict, which on
being opened this forenoon, was found
to be "gnilty." The court room was
crowded and the announcement Great
ed much sensation. The counsel for
the people moved the court that the
defendant be taken into custody,
which motion was stOutly resisted by
the defendants attorney. The prose-
eutiOn however were firm in their de-


mand, that the case should take the
ordinary course and United States
Marshal accordingly was directed to
hold Hawkins as prisoner. Time was
allowed to prepare a motion for new
trial, and arrest Judgment. The PEN
atty of the Utah statutes for the crime
of adultery, is imprisonment not ex-
eeeding twenty years and not less
than three years, or by fine Of not
over one thousand dollars, or bOte
fine and imprisonment, at the dis
cretiun Of the court. This is q test
case and virtually places the poly
gamist at the mercy Of the first wife,
who, under the act is the only party
who can institute proceedings against
the husband. The case was contested
on both sides with great determina-
ton and the charge of Chief Justice
Mexican to the jury last night, is
spoken of as being eminently able.

A remarkable plausible theory az


counting for the rapid spread Of the
Pfiames at the Chicago fire, is that a
large number of the houses in that


city were built Of an oil-bearing lime
stone, which is found in large deposits


near the city, which when exposed to
the intense heat took fire and was


consumed. The public have remarked


upon the singular fact that stone


buildings exposed to the fiery blast


burst into flames. and in an incredi-


bly, short space of time had disap-
peared. 1t will also be remembered
that accounts were given of the ap-
parent combustion OF the tagging in
the pavements, which were calcined,
and erumbled at the touch. Specta-
tors doubted their senses at seeing the
very stones seemingly on fire, but
should this theory prove correct, there
is left no doubt that the stone did
burn and aided in the spread Of the
nre. The instance of the burning of
the New England Church, wholly
built OF stone, is case in point For
a long time il resisted the power Of
the fiery element until suddenly, as
quick as 3 Hash, it burst into flames
which covered il entirely, and coming
together over the roof, aseended in a
solid body -heavenward. Now all
that mass of flame could not have
come from windows and doors, in
such body at least, as to cover the
whole structure, and in a second Of
time almost. And it was observed
that buildings Of stone seemed to
make the hottest and brightest fires.
This theory is startling, but, as we
said in beginning, it is an extremely
plausible one.


Whether this theory has been
adopted by the people of Chicago or
not, the disposition to build of brick
rather than stone has gained ground,
and most of the new buildings are
being put up of brick 1t is un-
the safest, for they knoO
that brick won't ignite, and while
they may lose something in appear-
anee they will certainly gain in Sc
curiIy.

eve over the broad rushing current,

that even the eddying waters are
drawn into it, and borne to their grand

The International demonstration yesterday
was a respectable, but by no means imposing
affair, and the quiet, orderly behavior of those
who took part in it served to render the stupid
action Of the Police Commissioners, in at
tempting to interfere with it, even more ridic-
ulous than it previously appeared. Some
fifteen hundred persons, as the reports testify,
were in the procession, the paucity being ac-
counted for by the fact that the International
Societies were not united on the question of
holding memorial funeral services in honor Of
the executed Communists. Still the demon
stration was o respectable one, and the
good conduct Of the men was highly COM
mendable. The police regulations were
not as effective as they might have
been, and at several points the spectators were
left free to break in upon and interfere with
the line Of march, Fortunately, however, no
breach of the peace occurred, and the whole
affair passed off successfully and agreeably.
Police Commissioner Bosworth was relieved
of his apprehension of any evil results arising
from the counsels of the secular press;" the
right of the citizens to meet in legitimate,
orderly and peaccable manner was vindicated !;
the Communist sentiment was satisfied and
no harm has been done to anybody. Indeed,
one public good may have been secured by the
demonstration, il the police authorities
will profit by the lesson IL teaches, and learn
that power. armed for the enforcement and
vindication Of the law, can never successfully
overstrain It's authority and encroach upon the
liberties OF the people.
