very edjio of which 1 obtained n setit, hav
ing ;oiio very early."
At the (liven time tin; jtijrcler, a very
singular looking man, came upon (lie
stage with hi shirt sleeves rolled up to
the shoulders, and livaring a long two
edged KWoid. lie upset the table upon the
boards and showed that there was no con
cealed drawer or other recess, and placed it
in tho bla.e of the footlights near the ed jo
of the stage. In a few words he stated
what he was going to do, and requested
some of the audience to come forward and
stand upon the. stage, that they might see
there "was no deception," A l umber of
medical gentleman who had been chosen
ns a committee to investigate tho matter,
if possible, took their position upon the
stage and soon after the victim, who had
been sitting in the panpiotte, mount, d
the stage, removed his co.it and cravat,
turned back his tiiirt collar, and lay inn
down upon his back on the table, elevated
his chin to more fairly expose his neck to
the headsman's weapon. The juggler
raised his keen and fearful looking sword,
nud giving it a swi-eji, brought it down
I say brought ii down upon the neck, lor
no one could see that he did not, even
those within three feet of him upon the
neck of the subject with great force I
lilood spirted high into the air, some of
it falling on our party ami deluged the
stage, while the most fearful sound, as
something between a groan and a shriek
of horror from the w hole assemblage shook
the building, and numerous women and
some males fell fainting in 1 heir seats, and
were borne out by the ushers of the house.
Tho juggler raised his sword again repeat
ed the bloiv, the dissevered head fell upon
the floor! Tnkin,': it by tho hair ho held
it up to the an lience for full five minutes,
until the blood had ceased to flow from
the severed arteries, the lower jaw had fal
len and the face had assumed tho Appear
ance of a corpse; then throwing it hcavi-1
ly upon the stage he requested the com
mittee to examine it, which they did, pas
sing it from hand to hand. They then
examined t lie body on the table from the
headless neck of which the blood ! ad not
yet ceased to drop upon the floor of the
stnL'o : thev lifted the limbs and let them
fall w ith tlie limp inertia of lifeless matter
and, of course, pronounced the man dead
to all intents mid purposes.
After they had concluded their investi
gation, the juggler inloinied the audience
that lie wjis going to put tho man's head
on again, and restore him to life. Taking
up tlie head he laid it on the table, fitted
jhe two parts of the neck to each other,
and began to mutter and make singns
over tho '"orpse. In about five mir.utes

the eyelids gradually opened and display
'ed the eyes wearing a glassy corpse like
stare ; by degrees a life-like speculation
came into 1 hem, some color returned to
to the face; and. after strelchinghis limbs,
the man arose from tho table, resumed
his coat, wi Iked down from the Mage und
mingled with the crowd.
The exihibitioii was over. The neck of
tli' apparently decapitaled man bore a
red mark and sear aionnd it, like tlie cic

1 saw with my own eves, w hich were as ef
fectually deceived as those of ten of thou

,V " nn reason, account, lor any
feature of this horribly thrilling feat of
trickery. I have never heard of the trick
being performed ,v any other man, and
very po-sihly it originated and died with
him. However it is scarcely more unac
countable than many often displayed t.-ats
of the iu.lroit fraternity of Lantern ju"
glors. The Little Hero.
A Correspondent of the Cincinnati Com
mercial relates the following:
An incident, perhaps common in such
places, but very uncommon iu our section
of the country, occurred on buard the
cars. I noticed when the cos set out
from tlie station at Martiiisburg, where we
stopped for supper, two little noys seated
011 a car scat two remove from the one I
occupied, who wore a very forlorn appear
anee. The younger, a little lad ol six
years, seemed trying to cry, while the el
der, evidently his brother, .1 bright lad
of ten years, was giving him ciieouiage
nu'iit iu a low voice, and glancing appre
hensively at the front car door, Inrough
which the conductor was pivsciitlv 10
make his entrance. In time he came,
and lifter the usual question and some
mumbled response by the elder boy, ad
dressed him 111 rather a rough voice," "Ah,
so you're on board again, are you? Well,
yon must get off ut tin: stopping place.''
The next stopping place came, lint the lit
tle boys never stirred from their seat.
Presently the conductor came around
again: "So you are on board, are you?
Well, we Mill have you put oil' the next
time the cars stop." At this the little boy
began to cry audibly, and one of my Ken
tucky ac(uainlanccs w ho sat just in front
of them, iUeiioiied the elder its to what
ailed them, from his replies ive gleaned
the following account.
They were two brothers, and had left
Iliiltiniore, where they had previously re
sided, about a week before. Their moth
er had been dead some time, and their
father lost his life by accident, while en
gaged ut work on a building just two days
belore they had set out on their trip.
Tic y had been it-It destitute, and (baling
'iio resource but the usual place of refuge,
had resolved to go west, where their big
brother Lucas, who w as married, and their
big sister Martha, who expected to be,
were living. They refused to wait until,
in answer to a letter, their brother could
come or send for them : but without mon
ey, they hail seated themselves in the cars,
and been put oil' regularly and successive
ly from each train ut ihe station, usually
making one, and very randy the distance
between two stations. They had experi
enced little dilliculty in securing some
thing to eat, and a place to sleep, from the
the charity of the villagers along the way.
Iu this manner they had coiiijiiered over
a quarter of the h ngth of the Baltimore
andtihioro.nl, with eiiiial success cculd
hope to attain Chicago, the goal of their
journey, late in the lull. Upon becoming
satisfied that their story was really one of
truth, my friend, the Kcntuckian, propos
ed und took up a collection among the
piHsengi'i's for their benefit, which result
ed in the handsome sum of between thir
ty and forty dollars. The conductor, to
ivlioui they had simply stated they had
ne'llier money nor ticket, when told the
circumstances, relived to take any fare
from them . an 1 so our little folks came
all the way to Wheeling at one ride.
The following day, alter dinner, as the
Kcntuckian and myself were sitting in
front of the Spring House, smoking cigar.-,
the. little hero camo tugging before us a
suilwart w 11 dross.-.! young man, whom
he vociferously announced 11s hisbig broth
er, who hud set out from Chicago to bring
them to his home, and had there, by the
luckiest chance, met them in the hotel.
The big brother made an earnest oiler to
return the money contributed, to our
keeping, ...ying that the boys had no
need of it ; that he was well to do, and had
often vainly endeavored to tret his father
to come to his home. lint w o refused to
accept it. and bade him use it for the boys.
That evening they set out for Chicago, and,
long ere this, I presume the little heroes
have been clasped in the anus of their big
sister,
EziTA few days sii:ce, the w ife of Mr.
Williamson, of Milford township, 1'aitlor
county, Ohio, found an old Spanish half
dollar ina closet of the homestead, and
prosecuting the search she discovered the
sum of $1,71)0, Jn old Spanish silver coin.
Mr. Williamson immediately restored the
money to the heirs ol the former owner of
the premises, live in number, who in turn
presented Mr. W. and his lady with ?,'i"ill.
A rare instance ol honesty and generosity.

We learn from the St. l'atil Times, that
the Minneapolis and Cedar Valley Rail
road contemplate the erection of a bridge
across the Mississippi, at Fort Snelling,
which, when finished, will he one' of the
longest and finest structures on the Amer
ican continent, and probably in the world.
It will be three thousand s,w,.n hundred
and eighty six feet in length, with 11 span
of one hundred and eighty f rom centre
to centre of the piers, and ninety seven
feet above high water mark, and will have
an elevation of grade twelve fee! higher
at one end than at the other. The piers
011 which this immense structure will rest
are to be built of stone, from the quarries
near at hand, aud will be wallsofs .'id 111:1
sonrv, so linn and enduring that no rise
in th" river below will everdislurbthe im-
Miiens,. struct tire which rests ab"V". It
1 will be a tni-s bridge, with a double tr:i k
i pa-'sing over the top fir the car-, while in
the t ni-s t i':ink will be a wagon ro id 011
! Heeling Fort Sreliiug and M''u l"i:i. The
e-tiin tied cost of this leviathan is ne niv
half a million of dollars, and we hive every

commenced early next spring, and p isiied

Make the siitne statements to the first man

the air of a paradox, if men lei I steadily
conceived the nature of elememary ;ib

isiies : whatever we lind in the orgudsm,
as a constant and integral element, either
foi ining a part of its st ructnre, or one of

If "to nourish the body" means to sustain
its force and repair its waute if food en

all the integral c mstituents of thnt stric

nothing improper jn designating as

doxical to call water food will cease their

Important from Japan.
We have received news from Japan, up
to the loth duly last. We learn by it ttiat
the (loverniiient continued to take measure-
in view of the treaties made with the
several foreign powers.
A d'-crce of the Emperor authorizes the
establishment of exchanges in the cities of
Simoda, Nangasaki and ILikodadi. Fur
thermore, it appoints a board of commer
cial brokers to facilitate commercial inter
course with tho several nations. It is
known that among ihe presents given by
the Tinted States to the Emperor area
little railroad and an electric telegraph.
Tiie latter has been put up by a Japanese
engineer, and it works with perfection on
u live league distance.
The Emperor is so pleased with the re
sult of this invention, that he Inus ordered
that Yedo, his capital, be bound by means
; of a telegraph with the provinces of fioki
nia, Tokaid'i, Fekon-ro-Kondon, Sunyodo
! and Saikaido. This order may, perhaps,
not be fullilled for some time, but the ieda
1 which has inspired it is already an uii'jUes

i's proverbial gloom. It mav have its
howling wind,, and chilling frosts, uud
whirling snow storms, but it has also its
long intervals of cloudless sunshine, when
tlie siiow-etad earth gives redoubled bright
