BUCKSTONETS MARCH TO LONDON.
We might seek far ere we found a better
illustration of the vicissitudes of an actor's
life than is supplied in Mr. Bnckstone's march
to London in search of fame and fortune, a
story best told aa it was told by his own
month: "I once walked from Northampton to
London, 72 miles, on fourpence-halfpenny.
I had a companion in the same plight; and,
on comparing our pecuniary resources, we
discovered ourselves to be masters of the suua
of ninepence fourpence-halfpenny eaoh, ac
cording to Cocker. My ooninme consisted
of a threadbare whitv-blne oMt wit'i tar
nished metal buttons, secured to the throat,
because I wore beneath what we call a
flowered' waistcoat, made of glazed chintz,
of a very showy pattern, generally adopted
when playing country boys and singing comio
songs which at that time was my vocation.
"I will not attempt to desoribe my hat;
while my trousers must only be delicately
alluded to, as they were made of what was
originally white duck; but as they had been
worn six weeks, and had been much in the
fields, there was a refreshing tint of a green
and clay color about them, which imparted to
that portion of my attire quite an agricultural
appearance. I carried a small bundle. I will
not describe its entire contents, but may men
tion that it held a red wig and a pair of russet
boots.
"Under my arm was a portfolio containing
sketches from nature, and Some attempts at
love-poetry; while on my feet, to perform
tbis distance of seventy-two miles, I wore a
pair of dancing-pumps, tied up at the heels
with packthread. Thus equipped, I started
with my companion fromJNorthampton, and
before breakfast we accomplished fifteen
miles. When we sat down to rest ourselves
tinder a. hedge by the roadside, we felt very
much inclined to partake of the meal in ques
tion, but were rather puzzled how to'provide
it.
"Presently a cow-bey appeared, driving
some lazy, zigzag-going cows, and carrying
two large tin cans containing skimmed milk.
We purchased the contents of one of the
cans for a halfpenny; a cottage was close at
hand, where we prooured a very nice, though
rather stale half-quarter home-baked loaf for
-a penny. The cow-boy sat by us on that road
waiting for his can. The cows seemed to
regard us with a sleepy look of mingled pity
and indifference; while with the bottom
crust of that loaf, and three pints of
skimmed milk, I enjoyed the roadside
breakfast of that summer morning more than
I have enjoyed the banquet of this evening.
On the first day we walked forty miles, for
which my pumps and what they covered suf
fered some. Our bed for the night was in
one of those wayside hostelries called lodg
ings for travellers, for which accommodation
we disbursed twopence. JLate in the evening
of the next day we completed the remaining
thirty-two miles, and found ourselves at the
Mother Redcap, Camden Town, with enough
in our pockets to procure half a pint of por
ter." THE SNAKE-CHARMERS.
Among the sights bordering on the mar
vellous which attracts the traveller's atten
tion in Egypt, beyond even the mysterious
proceedings of the Cairene magician who pro
fesses to summon the dead to life, may be
mentioned the interesting performances of
the snake-charmers. These men belong to
the order of lliface Dervishes. . They profess
to discover the presence of any venomous
snakes whioh may be concealed in the house,
a very common occurrence in the warm cli
mate of Egypt, and, if there be such snakes,
to allure them from their hiding-places.
The first measure usually resorted to by the
wary spectator is to cause the performers to
be thoroughly searched in the court-yard pre
viously to their being introduced into the in
terior of the house, lest they may have snakes
hidden either in the folds of their "caftans,"
or long flowing robes, or in those of their
litat, or baggy trousers. Sometimes they
are forced to deposit their voluminous gar
ments in some corner of the court yard, and,
as an additional precaution, they are made to
tuck up the loose sleeves of their kamis, or
shirts, after these have been as closely exa
mined as the rest of their clothes.
When all possible precautions have been
taken, the snake-charmers are allowed to enter
the house. Immediately on admission they
assume an air of mystery, strike the walls and
floor with a short palm-stick, whistle, make a
chackling noise with the tongue, and spit on
the ground, exclaiming, "I adjure ye, if yo
be above or below, that ye come forth;" "I
adjure ye, by the most great name, if ye bo
obedient, come forth; and, if ye be disobe
dient, die! die!" Ilowever close may have
been the previous search in every corner of
the apartment; and in every piece of
furniture and banging drapery,
in about ten minutes, generally
speaking, after these exclamations, a snake is
dislodged from one of the projecting cup
boards with which most rooms are lined, or
drops from the woodwork of the ceiling. The
result of any incredulous expression on the
part of the spectator, who may imagine the
snake to be harmless, is to make the snake
charmer excessively indignant. He gene
rally 6eizes one of the snakes by the neck,
and, after displaying Lis fangs, tears him to
pieces with his teeth, spitting out the hits on
the ground with an excited, defiant air.
The only solution of this mystery is, that
as these dervishes make it a practice to tame
snakes, live habitually with them, and are not
very cleanly in their habits, their bodies and
clothes become deeply impregnated with the
pungent oil which celleots on the surface of
the snake's skin, and thus the latter reptile,
being gifted with strong olfactory nerves, is
immediately made aware of an odor which
appears to indicate the presence of members
of his family, and comes forth from his hiding
place to greet them.
BOURBON FOLLY.
At the time of the Emperor Napoleon's
exile to the island of Elba, among other small
means to which the Bourbon king resorted in
order to Btay up his tottering throne, was the
p8Bsage of a stringent law that no picture,
statue, statuette, figure, or resemblanoe of
"General Bonaparte," as he was called, should
be suffered to remain in any place, publio
or private, among any residents, native or
foreign.
Consequently there was a sudden disap
pearance of everything of the kind, from the
bronze st-tue on the top of the pillar made
from cannon taken at Austerlitz, which statue
Louis Philippe had the good sense and din
cretion to restore, to the mere top or thimble
case bearing Napoleon's profile upon its out
line. Every house was to be visited and exa
mined, to see that the order was strictly
obeyed, and all offending articles were to be
seized.
Mr. Wilder, an American residing in Paris,
owning a particularly fine and correct bronze
statuette of the Emperor, buried it, with
other things of the kind, in his cellar. His
turn for inispeHlon by the police vne. Tu
with his secretary and other attendants, who
said in a pompons and semi-contemptuous
tone, "Have you any statue, image, r like
ness of any kind, of that man ?" "Of what
man?" said Mr. Wilder. "You know,
sir, very well who is meant," said the officer,
impatiently; "that man that usurper."
"What man? what usurper?" said Mr. Wilder;
"I am a stranger here." "Why do
you keep me? You know whom I moan; that
usurper that Bonaparte,' if you will have
it," said the officer. "Have you any likeness
or representation of him?" "Certainly I
have, said Mr. Wilder; and, turning to a
clerk, "Oougain, bring me a bag of Napo
leons." Then pouring them out on the dek
before him, "Here they are, sir." The police
official staled. At first he could make no an
swer; but then said, "That money is not
what I want. You ou keep that." "Go
and tell your master," said Mr. Wilder, "that
the whole specie currency of the realm must
be called in before he can keep from the eyes
of the people the features of the Emperor
Napoleon. 'f "Yon are right," said the offi
cer, now leaving, but continuing aside to his
comrades," it is ridiculous, truly, this business
we are on; but the Bourbons cannot see it."
