EDITOR &IX,' PROPRIETOR. eArßw t - pTazarae„ ww.rmazDaiir armaza avooci uzuat mao(owauolavo From Cltambera' Journal. Extraordinary and thrilling feat of an Indian Juggler. The conversation of a friend recently ar rived from India,enables us to notice one or. two of the surprising performances of the jugglers of that country, which, though familiar to persons acquainted with eastern matters, may be new to many readers of these pages. A party of jugglers came forward on one occasion to perform publicly in the yard of the barracks at Madras. Many hundreds of people,of all kinds,ages,and denominations, including the soldiery of the establishment, assembled to witness the exhibition, and some little temporary arrangements were made, thatall might see and hear con veniently.—The leaders of the jugglers, who were all, of course natives of Hindos• ton, requested the commanding officers to place a guard of men around the scene of display—a precaution which was.adopted. and which proved a very wise one. The floor of the court, be it observed was com posed of sand, firm and well trodden. On this ground, then, after some preliminary tricks of an inferior kind, one man was left alone with a little girl, the latter seeming by eight or nine years old. Beside them. stood a tall narrow basket, perhaps three or four feet high, by little more than a four in width, and open at the top. No other object, living or inanimate, appeared on the ground. After a short period, spent by the man in conversing with the girl, he seemed to get angry, and began to rail loudly at her for her neglect of some wish of his. The child attempted to Booth him, but he continued to show an increased de gree of irritation as he went on.—By de grees he lashed himself up in such appar ent fury. that the foam actually stood, on his lips, and being naturally °Pan unpre possessing countenance, he looked, to the white spectators at least, as like an enraged demon as might be. Finally, his wrath at. the girl rose seemingly to an uncontrollable bight, and he seized her, and put her be neath the basket ; or, rather turned down the open mouth of the basket over her person. She was thus shut entirely up, the turned bottom of the basket closing her in above. Having thus disposed of the child, in spite of her screams end entreaties, the man drew' his sword, which was as ' bright as the surface of a mirror, and he appeared us it about -to wreak some - evil on the subject of his ire. And after some mo ments, during which he talked to himself and to the enclosed girl ; as if justifying his anger, he did actually at length plunge the sword down into the basket and drew it out dripping with blood, or hloodred drops! The child screamed piteously from the pri son, but in vain ; for the man plunged the. weapon again and again into the scene of her confinement. As he did so the cries became faint by degrees, and in the end died away altogether.—The deed of death was consummated ! So, at least, thought most of the horror. struck persons who witnessed this action.— And well it was for the chief performer in it that he had requested a guard to be pla ced, for it .required all the exertions of this guard to prevent the aroused soldiery, who believed this to be no trick, but a piece of diabolical butchery, from leaping into the arena, and tearing the man to pieces. The excitable Irishmen among the number, in particular, ground their teeth against one another, and muttered language not very complimentary to the juggler. Even the officers, whose better education and expe rience made them less open to such feelings, grew pale with uneaseness. But observe the issue of all this. When the man seemed to have carried his rage to the last extremity, warned, per haps, by the looks of the soldiery that it would be as well to close the exhibition without delay, he raised his bloody sword before the eyes of the assemblage, and then struck the basket smartly with it. The basket tumbled over to a side, and on the spot which it had covered, in place of the girl whose last groans had just been heard, there was seen—nothing ! Nothing but the flat sand of the court-yard ! No vestige of dress, or any other thing to indicate that the girl had ever been there ! -The amaze ment of the spectators was unbounded, and it wasifpossible, rendered more intense when, after the lapse of a few seconds, the indentical little girl came bounding from the side of the court-yard—from among the spectators' feet, it seemed—and clasped the juggler around the knees, with every sign ofaffection, and without the slightest marks of having undergone any injury whatever. As we have said, the astonishment of the assemblage was immeasurable ; and it might really well be so, seeing that the feat was performed in the centre of a court, every point of the circumference of which was crowded with spectators, whose eyes were never °lithe performers for one in stant. As to the notion of a subteraneous passage, the nature of the ground put that out of the question, and, besides, that nothing of the kind existed, was made plain to all who chose to satisfy theniselves on the subject, by lookin g at the scene of the per formances when they had closed. Every one was sure that the child had been put below the basket, and that she did not get out of it by &natural way. But she did get out ; and how ? It is impossible to say, though there can be no doubt that it was accomplished by some skiful man- COUVre. New Potatoes were sold in Lancaster City, on the 4th inst. London Eating Mouse. ANECDOTE. SVhile upon the Jeremy Diddler subject, it May not be amiss to mention an amusing circumstance which took place in an eating house in town. A por Frenchman (tt was in the winter,) entered one merely for the purpose of warming himself at the fire ; he was in too great distress to think of any indulgence in the good things there smok ing in profusion, save such as might be ex haled by his olfactory nerve. While en gaged in rubbing his halt starved bony hands before a good fire, the master of the house came up and said— Won't you take something V '1 tank you, sure,' was the reply. 'What will yell have? 'What you please.' , We have some very nice roast turkey and sausages; will you like that V thank you, I aliu:l like him very mooch.' Sit down here,and I will bring youthom.' The Frenchman was accordingly ushered into a box, and the turkey and dressings placed before him. Of whatever he was asked to partake, he partook. He ate bountifully, and washed it down with some good wine. Poor fellow I he had not known such a meal before for a many a long day. The proprietor thought he had a good cus tomer; his mortification and disappoint ment were extreme, when, on presenting his bill, the Frenchman said-- .11 have no money, sore.' 'No money ?' 'No 1' 'Then why did you come into my house, and order such a dinner for 'l' 'Pardon, you mistake ; I come here to warm myself—you come to me and ask me if f will take nothing; I say 'tank you ;' you say 'what will you take ?' I respond 'what you please'—you bringline de turkey, de sausages, de tart, de pudding, de cheese, and de wine ; I no ask you for them, you ask me will I take, and I can no refuse. The master of the house, who was some thing of a humorist, and who was also etruck with the Frenchmen's gaunt and poverty stricken figure, suffered hitn to de part. But great was his astonishment at seeing, a short time afterwards, another Frenchman enter, who. upon being asked what he would take, likewise replied, 'what you please.' 'Oh, uh,'—exclaimed the landlord, .1 forgave the other because he was an original but us you, fellow, are a mere copyist, 1 shall kick you into the street,' which he did accordingly. It ap peared that the poor ',lender Frenchman had met en acquaintance and told him of his adventure at the eating house, and that the poor starved acquaintance hastened to the spot already feasting in imagination on dellicacies innumerable, and little dream ing of the unpleasant denouncement which the cruel Fates had in reserve for him.

Not long since, to o town / not twenty miles iron, Rutlend, a sprightl)k old bathe. lor paid his addresses to a fascinating miss, not far out of her teens, fora long time, (as the story goes) and until matrimony was pretty freely talked of. Indeed, the appar ently enamoured wooer ultimately be. came so familiar with the family and its affairs, ' where he visited, that, he not very unfrequently, and without much eine. mony, supped, took lodgings, (with the boys, doubtless) and breakfasted in the morning, ere he took leave of his partial 'sweet home.' At length us the old saying goes, 'hot love soon grew cold,' and his visits became 'few di fur between,' until they entirely ceased. And•so the Whir rested for a while, but probably not without some sighs and palpitations on the part of the abandoned 'maid forlorn.' But matters did, not stop exactly here. The treacherous lover, it was reported, had found another charming Hulett= upon whom to bestow Lis guileful 'co.,ing and wooing.'

Berald. A MARRIAGE PROMISE. A jury in the town of Turbridgo, have settled what is the exact amount of money which a marriage promise is worth. In a case some short time since a suit was brought against a faithless swain, and the jury gave the damsel ssotl damages. Shortly after she married Dr. Cyrus Hutchins, who it appears had been paying attention previously to Mrs. Laurindo Gibbs, dz she in turn brought suit against the Doctor. The jury gave her a verdict for 95545,73, being the principal and interest which had accrued on the 500 dollars re ceived by the fortunate Mrs. Hutchins ! It will be Well for Mrs. Gibbs to keep her eyes on the young men of the town or she will lose her money the same way she obtaindd it. Five hundred dollars is therefore the sum which the jury have fixed as the true worth of a marriage promise, and carries interest from the day it is made. It is well to have these things regulated. MORE WORDS FOR M ESIC.-WO have been talking a good deal lately about "words for music," and what sort of things they ought to be." The "Morning Chronicle" selects a specimen from the latest libretto, which places the success of our exhortations, so far, in a remarkable point of view. Here it is— "One fatal night, as slumbers o'er us stole, A fearful noise tliaturb'd our tranquil rest; 'Twos loud as torrent's roar—as thunder's roll; And in an instant, we were up and dress'd!" This puts us in mind of an anecdote we once heard of a man who had run away from a mad bull, with some damage to his unmentionables. "The bull," said he, in an eloquent and sublime crescendo that ought to have been sot to the music ,) the bull roared like thunder—l ran like lightning— and, in jumping over the hedge, tore my breeches as if heaven and earth were cony ing together!" When M.Dumas and his fellow travellers were on their way to visit Mount Sinai, they encamped one night at the "Fountains of Moses, where they were soon joined by two monks; members of the monastery situate on the sacred mountain. The holy men were attended by no escort, and were them- selves entirely unarmed, facts which exci. ted the surprise of the Frenchmen, who asked them how they dared to travel through the desert in so defenceless a condi tion. In reply, the eldest of the monks took from his pocket an - embroidered bag, opened it, and handed the querists a paper. It was a firman, signed BIIONAPARTH I Such a document; and in such hands, very natu rally give birth to feelings of the most en. thusiastic description on the part of those who then saw it for the first time, and the good fathers complied .with their desire to know how it came into their possession. The Monastery of Sinai has ever been de pendent on the cities of Cairo and Suez for means of subsistence for its inmates; but as the governors of those cities were of the Mahomedan religion, they were little dis posed to assist the monks. Accordingly, the merchandize imported by the monks from abroad, and which could reach them only by pausing through the Egyptian cities, was subjected to the most heavy and ruin ous exactions. Nor was this all; for the tribes of the desert often attacked the cara vans which were conveying the goods to the monastery, and like the palmer worms, devoured whatever the Egyptain locusts had spared. The monks who attended the caravans, fell into the hands of the plund• erers, arid were only released on the pay ment of exorbitant ransoms by the brethren. Such was the cruel state to which the fra ternity of Mount Sina were reduced toward the close of the last century, when intelli gence reached them "that a man had come from the West, with the words of a prophet, and the power of God." This man's pro tection they resolved to solicit, and they ac cordingly despatched two of their number to Suez, for the purpose. When the dep uties arrived at Suez, they found that the wonderful man had gone to Cairo, to which place they followed him. Arrived at the Egyptian capital, they sought out his resi dence, and were conducted to his presence. Seated in a garden, and aurrounded by a few of his immortal companiona, the young hero of Italy and Egypt, the future monarch of nearly all continentitl Europe, received the toilworn monks, who had traversed an hundred leagues to demand his protection. The history of the world does not afford an instance of more delicate . , but unintentional praise. Buonaparte could not be otherwise than plensed, for it showed the extent of his fame, and the estimation in which his power and intellect were held by men. He dictated a firman, assuring safety to persons and supplies through the desert. The el feet was magical. From that day to this, the trade of the monks, has been umelested. Though near half a century has passed away since that firman was given—though the giver has slumbered for eighteen years in the grave of the murdered, far from the scenes of his glory—yet it has lost none of its virtues. Times haveso altered, that the weakest member of the brotherhood can wander, unarmed, unattended, alone through all parts of the desert, if he has with him the firman of "Bonnabardo," as the Bedou ins call Napoleon, without fear of molesta tion from even those whose hands are against every man. Amount, $50,00 Fontaine asked me one day, why the woman of the Jewish race were so much handsomer than the men. 1 gave him a reason at once poetical and Christian.— The Jewessess, 1 replied, have escaped the curse which has alighted upon their fathers, liusbands and sons. Not a Jewess was to be seen among the crowd of priests and the rabble who insulted the Son of Man, scourged him to ignominy.. and the cross. The woman of Judea believed in the Savior they loved, they followed him, and they soothed him under afflictions. A women of Betheny poured on his head the precious ointment which she kept in vase of Alabaster ; the sinner annointed his feet with a perfumed oil, and wiped them with her hair. Christ, on his part, extended his grace and mercy to the Jewesses ; he raised from the dead the son of the widow of Nein, and Martha's broth- The Magic of a sVanse• BEAUTY OF THE JEWESS.

T E 1P ICE D 1 T ENT We would , invite attention to the following extracts from the Report of the New York City Temperance Society, which exhibits a surprising decrease in the Sale of ardent spirit, and shows to what extent the evil still exists in that city. The statistics of Sab bath breaking are melaneholly ; nor would those of Philadelphia be less so. The returns of the society exhibiting an aggregate accersion of members equal to one third of the population, it is but reason able to infer that the demand for strong drink, and also the number of liquor stores should decrease 33 1-3 per cent, or in some rateable proportion to the increase of tem perance numbers. Now the official records of the city show, that from the year 1821 to 1828, a period of seven years preceding the formation of the Society, there was an increase of liquor stores above the ratio of the increase of the populaiion 14 per cent. So that in 1828, with a population of 182,. 112, that there were 3,162 licensed liquor shops, or one for. every 57 souls. In 1829 this society was organized, Which created an identification with , the correction of the evil. The reform thus auspiciously coma menced has kept pace with the steady pro gress of the cause ever since. The present year, with- a population of at least 325,000 there are 2,507 liquor shops, or one for every 130 souls, which exhibits in 10 years a decrease, not merely of 33 1-3 per cent, as the society's statistics might lead to ex pect, but of at least 75 per cent. If this grievous curse had. gone unchecked to the present time, increasing in the ratio of the population as before the formation of the society, instead of 2,507 liquor stores, the number the present year would have been 6,844. In hartnonY with these Icicts,lis the dim inution in the manufacture, and also in the importation of distilled liquors. There wera h i . n the State of New York alone, in /82r, 1,129 disilleries; the number is new reduced to about 200. In 1837 there were in operation in the city of New York and vicinity, 17 large grain distilleries; now there are but 9. In 1837, 32,080,000 27; • 100 gallons of first proof domestic spirit were inspected in this city ; and in 1838, 18,049, 000 88-100 gallons, being 13,633,- 000 gallons leas the last than in the prece ding year, or a falling of more that 83 per cent., and greater than double the decrease of previous year. In the importation of distilled liquor into the port of _New York the last year, there was also a decrease of 25 por cont. And it is worthy of notice, that according to the latest returns of the Secretary of the Treasury in 1887, there was a decrease of 1,285,084 gallons of wine, as compared with the importations of 1836. Intemperance is pre eminently the great fountain of crime and pollution amongst us. In all its modes of operation and effects, it is mighty to proven, to debase and de. stroy. tinder its influences, vice becomes more daring and attrocious, and depravity more depraved. It shows, indeed, in its own darker shadow, every other form of evil. Profanity, gaming, licentiousness, and Sab bath desecration invariably find in strong drink a powerful incentive and ally. This it is, as shown by facts, which more then all ocher causes combined, impedes the suc cess of moral influence. By overlooking this evil, how many have almost wasted their lives in unproductive toilior the moral and intellectual elevation of society t And as to thia vice is chiefly to be ascribed the degeneracy of great cities, to remove it would be.to achieve a greater conquest over human depravity, and induce a Purer moral sense and greater elevation of char acter than the world has over vet wit nt.ssed. But, the effect of this evil on the morals of the city,will better appear by an illustration. Of the 2,507 liquor shops in the city, 1,952 are opened on the Sabbath, while each of the 227 temperance groceries are closed. The superior profits of the Babhath, lead many to regard it as the harvest day of the week. And the profanation of the day by the multitudes of all ages and conditions who constantly by night and by day resort to these shops, doubtless leads to its further desecration, by opening stores in other oc cupations for their accommodation. Thus 2,001 other placea of business are also opened, consisting chiefly of oyster and cegai shops, clothing and shoe stores, con. lectionaries, fruiteries, livery stables Ito., making a total of 3,053 places, the proprla. tors of which, in violation of the laws of God and man, prosecute their seCularavocatiotta. on the iebbath. Nor is this disregard of the'day confined to this city, The !aka about the city are made a, scene of sloth', amusements, and are filled with tartlet of pleasure. Among other proofs of this it IL ascertained, that SO race boats, and 1110. row and sail boats, are usually put in . vs.. quisition tor this purpose ; 21 ferry bosigs are kept in constant Aqtpitty sho t , two,
