JUGGLERS IN INDIA. Horoscopes N hich Accuratel- Predict Events of the Future. DEATH FOEETOLD BEFOKE BIRTH. Animation Susrended for 40 Days Witli the Subject Bsried. TEICKS fffllCfl CAXXOT BE EXPLAINED One cannot live long among the natives ol India without seeing and bearing things which, as Lord Dundreary would say, "no fellow can understand;" I mean, things borderin; on the jncternatural, not to say the supernatural. I know that it is the fashion to pooh-Dooh such things. But though one may do this at a distance of thousands of miles from the place where the things are seen, or are heard of from hundreds of eye-witnesses, yet when cae is on the spot itself, the fact-, stand out so incontestable that one is iorced to admit them, even, while om cannot understand, much less explain them, l'eople at a distance, on hearing them re-, counted, may talk glibly and superciliously of sleiglit-of-hand, optical delusion, decep tion of the tenses, tricks of imagination, coincidences, collusion, and so forth. But 1 repeat that in India btich things have oc curred, under circumstances uhich render it absolutely iniDosible to attribute theni, reasonably, to auy such causes. Here are a fc instances: The first shall he the verification of a baby yajah's horoscope, hich Colonel Meadows ttavlor has told us was cast in his presence? cud in the events of which he, as Political Uesident, took some part. The horoseonc "was cast and calculated by a learned "shjs iri" the Hindu equivalent of a doctor in divtnitv at the request of the old rajah, on the birth of his sou and heir. Afraid to Tell the latal Truth. The shastri hesitated at first to tell the re mit, but at length put his prognostications jrn paper and handed them to the rajah. .After reading the pater and communicating Its contents to Colonel Taylor, the rajah de cided to destroy it. The secret thus re mained known to only three the old rajah, Colonel Taylor and the shastri. The last luid foretold lrom the horoscope that the child just born would be cut off by a violent death at a particular age, childless. The old rajah died, and the lad mounted the throne, the shastri and the Colonel being left tnc sole depositaries ot the terrible secret. The Mutiny broke out, and the younu rajah, now approaching the dan pcrous age, took part in it. He escaped the dangers, oi the battlefield; and when the ilutiny was suppressed, the active interpo sition of Colonel Taylor saved him, on the plea ol youtli, irom the more serious and probable danger of being hanged for treason. He was now just about the fatal age; and when the good Colonel had had his doom commuted to temporary detention under sur tcillance in a distant fortress, he thought all danger over. He spoke to the old shustri. and joked him about bis prediction; but the old man shook his head, and said: "What can resist fati?" Then touching his fore- bead he said: "It is written and cannot be effaced" alluding to the Oriental notion that each one's fate is written by the fiuger of God on the frontal bone. He turned out E true prophet; lor the youuc rajah, while on the way tothe fortress, was accidentally killed by the discharge ol his own gun. It was on the very dav foretold by the shastri! tolouel Meadows Taylor was with him on the journey; and his teracity is above all Suspicion. How explain this case? A fcingularcoiucidence, you will say. Veiy well. Here is another, viieie coincidence is out of court altogether. Teltins l'ortnnes M ith Dice. Tears ago I was present at a rare scene, while visitinc a native gentleman of rank. He had just received the welcome news that be would at the distance of some mouths baveauotherolive branch in his bouse. He heat at once for a fortune-teller; and the Juture was forecast in my presence. The man came one of the class called "Ham analls," that is, lortune-tellers by means of dice or "rami." Their dice are peculiar. They consisted of a let of three, each one consisting, in its turn, of a number of cubical dice T.I forget, at this distance of time, if they weresixor seven) strung together on a slender metal rod. Each cube was made of brass, aud had cabalistic figures on each of lis four cxpo-ed surfaces. Through the other two surfaces the rod passed, and on it each cube two of its sides almost touching the next two resolved lreely, and inde pendently of the other cubes. The man liaviug made his salaam, sat down, as de sired, ou the edge of the carpet, on which wc were ail seated. "Do you know why I sent for you?" asked lay friend. The ltammall made no reply; bat producing his three long dice, or rather sets of dice, he hauded them to my friend to cast. For tnis purpose, he laid them side by side in the open palm of his right hand, tie fingers being slightly curved. With a Kentle but quick motion, alternately ad vancing and retiring his hand, be caused the dice to roll, now wristward, and now Snersward, on his hand. Shaking them thus for a few seconds both the absolute End the relative positions of the cubes and their sunaces necessarily changing at each roll he at length cast them on the car iet on which we Merc s.tting. As be did this with some violence cud to a little dis tance, the dice rolled a great deal before they came to a final rest. The fortune-teller gathered them up together, carefully avoid ing any disarrangement of the order and position of the cubes or their sur'accs. He placed the three sets of dice on the cirnet bc fore himself, and seemed, after c irefully examining the cast ot the dice, to go info dceri thought and complicated calculations. 'o Limit to the Combinations. Let lis see. There were, say, six cubes on each of the three slender rods, and each cube bad four marked surfaces. There were therefore 72 surfaces, to combine in sets of six exjiosed surfaces ou each rod; aud these, again, with the positions of pianets and other ortune-tellmg matters. The number, therefore, of the possible combinations (not permutations) is practically as limitless as ore the eventualities of human life. Alter a while, the ltainmall said: "You wish to consult me regarding your "House' " meaning, of course, my Irieud's "wile. Both being Mohammedan, etiquette did not allow a more direct allusion to the lady. My lnend, admitting that be hail guessed rightly (and thus iar it might easily uave Deen a gooa guess ana no more,), again took tip the proffered dice, and went with them into the private apartments of the bouse to get the lady's cast. A Mohamme dan gentleman's wile is never shown to any of the opposite sex except the nearest rela tives. The fortune-teller meanwhile took bis "tasbeeh" or rosary off his wrist.and be Kan telling the names of God in Arabic on bis beads. The lady having made a cast s her husband had done, he care fully brought back the dice undisturbed to the, fortune teller. The rosary was replaced round the wrist, and theltammall examined the dice carefully. He produced and con sulted a self-made almanac, the sun, moon, ttar and planets al! coming m for their share of questioning. He toofc paper, pen, and ink, and made calculations. A'ter abouta quarteroian hour's work, he readout the results: (1) The lady would give birth to a child (2) Who would be a daughter (not so welcome an addition ts Oriental families as a son, (3) On a day which he named, and which was yet over seven mouths off. (4) The child would die within Jive months alter its birth; and (5) she would be his last child; but why, he could not (or would not) tell, as in the ordinary course of nature my friend might expect several more 1'ivo Prediction fulfilled. The man was paid a sum of money and "went bis way. Months passed. The child was born on the day foretold; proved to be a daughter; died a week alter completing its fourth month of life; and my friend himself died within the year. All the fire predic tions were effectually fulfilled. Such a complicated series of verified coincidences or cuesses would be as wonderful at least as the man's having simehow got the knowledge of the future. Of a different kind is mv next instance. which I shall give briefly, as it has been several times described the strange case of suspended animation, under the Marharajah Itunjcet Sing, the late tyrant of the Punjab. .Sly hrst acquaintance with the narrative dates from my boyhood. About the time of the occurrence I heard it related by my father; nnd Ibis authority was the well known General Avitable, Bunject Sing's right-hand man, who was present at the facts. Those facts are, that a certain 'jughee (Hindu anchorite), said to possess the power of suspending at will and resum ipg the animation of his body, was sent for by Eunjeet Sing, and declining to obey, was brought by force into the tyrant's presence, aud ordered to .give, under pain of death, a practical proof of his supposed power. He submitted perforce. He was put by his disciples through certain pro cesses, during which he became perfectly unconscious; the pulses ceased, his breath did not si-iii a polished mirror, and a Eu ropean doctor who was present declared that the heart had ceased to beat. To all ap pearances, he was as dead as Queen Anne. In this state he was put into a carefullv made box, the lid was closed and sealed with liunjeet Sing's own signet ring. The box was buried in a vault prepared in an open plot of ground under the royal windows at Lahore; and the place was guarded day and nisht by Itunject's own guards under Gen eral Avitable's own supervision. Sun and ram came and grass sprung up, grey and withered on the surface over the grave; and the sentries went their rounds; and the jog bee's disciples and friends were all kept under careful surveillance, not to call it .imprisonment. Resuscitated After Forty Days. After 40 days, in liunjeet Sing's own presence the vault was uncovered, and the box extracted from it with its seals intact. It was opened, and showed the joghec within precisely as he had been placed. He was taken out, dead still, to all appearance, but the body was incorrupt. His disciples were now brought to manipulate the body in the manner he had taught them, and which he had publicly explained before bis burial. He revived, as he had said he would; and was soon in as perfect health as when he had suspended his lifel He refused all gift, and retired to his lormcr retreat; but shortly afterward he and his disciples dis appeared. It was not sale for such a man to live in the jurisdiction of so inquisitive and arbitrary a ruler. Itunjeet Sing cared little for human life, which was his toy or plaything. No one who knows his historical character will for a moment admit that he would let himself be deceived or played upon in a matter on whieh he had set his heart. Each scene the suspension of life, the burial, the disin terment, the reviving, took place in the tyrant's own presence, and before hundreds of spectators, in open daylight, and with every precaution that absolute despotic power could command. liunjeet cared little whether the man lived or died, so that his own curiosity was Gratified. The guards under the palace windows commanded by Avitable would be anxious solely to carry out ltunjeet's Sing's wishes. Will vou say it is impossible? Itcmem ber Succi's fast last spring. Do not some animals hicernate for months? Are not living toads found in solid stone hundreds of years after their entombment? With the suspended animation of these toads in evi dence, it will not do to set down the story as simply impnssioir. Ana it may be added that in India no one would think ot calling in question the accuracy and truth of the narrative. Climbing Vp to the Sky. From several quarters I heard of, but did not myself see, what does appear an impos sible feat; this, therefore, I give on mere hearsay evidence. A juggler "pitches" at a corner of a bazaar or wide street; and in the presence of a gaping crowd, which speedily assembles to witness the "tamasha" or fun, he takes out of his wallet a large ball of twine, and tying one end of it to a corner of the wallet, casts the ball up, skywards, with all his might. Up it goes, unwinding gradually up and out of sight. It does not come back; it has unfolded itself on, into the blue sky, it seems. He orders his attendant a small boy, possibly his own son, and about 8 years of age to "go up." The boy grasps the twiue, and goes hand over band, up, up, aud out of sight Ilemember, please, that Indian houses are low, and that it needs but little sense to see whether a ball of twine has been thrown in a common way on and over a neighboring house, or has unaccountably gone up iuto the sky withobt coming down; whether a small boy has by means of this twice gone on to a housetop, or has disap peared into the heavens as unaccountably as the twine did. Alter a number of oidinary tricks, the juggler declares he needs a boy's help, and looking upward, calls him bv name. A voice replies lrom a distance above, baying he will not come down. (Ventriloquism, vou suggest Very well; perhaps 6o: wait.) Tne man gets ansry, says the boy must be punished; and taking a long kniie between his teeth, he goes up the twine band over hand, as the boy had done before, and ap parently disappears in his turn into the sky. Possibility of X holesal Hypnotism. A scream is heard above. Then, to the horror of the spectators, drops of blood rain down; and then the child falls, dismem bered, with his few clothes cut, and covered with blood. The man then slides down the twine, with the knife all bloody at bis waist He casts a-sheet over the mangled remains of the child, and leisurely proceeds to wrap up into a ball the twine which comes down to hiBi by degrees from the sky, as if there were a kite at the end of it He puts his things into the wallet and then takes up the sheet Eroin under it, whole and intact, alive and grinning, rises up the identical small boy! There are no mangled remains and no blood. On this I make only one remark: the thing itself seems really impossible, yet that aoes not prove mat tne periormance is not actually done. The pKradox may possibly find its resolution in the "suggestive experi ences" of hypnotism. A hypnotized patient sees and feels what his hypiiotizer wishes him to see and feel. Is it possible to hyp notize a whole crowd? If so, and the crowd thereupon proceeds to see what the juggler or hypuotizer desires them to tee, a meat many of tne wonders of Indian magic would be thus explained.

KELIGIONINTHE LAW Bishop Coxe, of New York, in His Latest Letter to Young Citizens I5SISTS UPON PUBLIC MORALITY. Disclosing the Secret of Disorders Which Wrecked Nations. GOOD MEN NEEDED FOR LEGISLATORS rWRITTEX FOB THE DISPATCH. ! There was published, about 30 years since, in Hew York, a little volume entitled, "Maxims of Washington." Never was such a book so much needed as now, when public men, and even Senators in Congress, deride the creat principles of religion and morality upon which the fathers of the He public based its Constitution and established its legislation. "Morality," says the Father of his Country, "is the necessary spring of popular government; and, he adds, emphatically, "Let us with caution indulge the supposition' that moral ity can be maintained without relig ion." He allows that men of education and of refined tastes may be found who profess a philosophical morality, and consistently maintain it; but he very clearly points out the truth illustrated by all history, that, as few men are philosophers, and the masses are not influenced by refined tastes, the restraints and sanctions of pure religion are requisite to the individual, the family, and the State. Indeed, the entire book may be said to enforce this principle, and to commend it to his countrymen as theonly safeguard to that deference for law and that conscientious discharge of duty without which liberty be gets license, and free institutions become the prey of faction and civil broils. The Secret of National Disorder!. The condition of the South American States, which have so signally failed, here tofore, in their attempt to establish such a republic as our own, not to speak of the successive failures of Mexico, may illus trate these maxims of "Washington; for none can doubt that the immorality and irre- ligion of their populations are the secrets of their disorders. It may be justly urged that the Bible alone, and a reverent accept ance of its moral code, have as yet been found sufficient to build up free States. An eloquent Frenchman once said to an immense assembly ot his countrymen in Paris, and in my own hearing: "Why do ire in France, with all our splendid capa bilities in other respects, make so many un successful attempts to imitate the Ameri cans, and to found lasting institutions of freedom, civil and religious? Why cannot we, like our great rivals across the channel, build up and maintain the liberties we have so long cpveted? The Queen of England has said the secret of enlightened freedom in the Old World and the New, is that they are based upon the Scriptures, univers ally diffused and universally rever enced." The vast audience applauded, and seemed very deeply to feel this expres sion, while the orator added his fervent hope that he might live to see Frauce, like England, "a land of the Bible." The Bible in Daily Life. A very grave matter, indeed, is the ex periment which has recently become popu iar, of excluding the Book of books from our public schools; and one fears that the maxims ot Washincton are too thoroughly imbued with Scripture to be long exempted from a like indignity. But, till Americans are so degenerate as to scorn the counsels and to cast out the wisdom of their great Founder, it is worth inquiring whether this little volume micht not wisely be introduced into all our public schools, and, in short, commended to all instructors of youth throughout the land. But, far better, let the Bible be everywhere restored. Apart from its incomparable teachings of human brotherhood and of the love of one's neigh bor, it is a Book of which nobody can be ignorant, if only because it is the first classic of the English language. It came with our first colonists to the shores of Virginia, and to the rock at Plymouth. It has been part of our history, and is associated with every memorial of the heroic lives and struggles of our ancestry. More than that, it is a living factor of our civilization, nor can our civili zation long survive it it cease to hold its place. Kent and Webster, and the rulings of in numerable cases in our courts, have proved that the civilization which our laws have been created to maintaiu is Christian civili zation; not indeed the Christianity of creed and theology, but the Christianity of our social life, our marriages, our family rela tions, our homes, our community of ideas in education, magistracy, the claims of humanity, and the nature of justice. The Foundation of All Law. All people are welcomed to share with us in these our institutions; and they are insti tutions which protect their riEhts'and their equality with others belore the laws of the land. But aliens are welcomed to enjoy them, not to overthrow them. Hence the alieu is made a sharer in our privileges be lore he becomes a citizen, but he can only become a citizen by swearing to support the Constitution a Christian Constitution in so far as morals and civilization are con cerned. In a celebrated trial on a charge of blasphemy, Chancellor Kent defined the re lations of the Bible to our law as part of the law of the land. It is the recognized in strument of the law in giving its character to an oath. Men may be permitted to swear or affirm in other forms, but a Bible oath has peculiar dignity. Nobody, the great Chancellor said, could regard an oath upou a boot which it was no ofiense to the law to insult opprobriously, that is, to blaspheme; and his ruling has been generally accepted throughout the land. Washington notonly laid bis hand upon the book when he took his oath as first President of the United States, but be gently repressed the effort of Livingston to raise Jt to his lips, in order that he lutein bow bis head in giving it the ceremonial kiss. Now, the Constitution is law; but the "sessions laws" of Legislature are only legislation, which often falls to become law. To become law, it must be sustained by the moral sense of the people. That moral sense cannot preserve itself; it must rest on the knowledge of God, and of our moral duties as prescribed by Him, and for which He will hold His intelligent creatures ac countable. The great Athenian orator told his couutrymen that to enact laws was noth ing; to make the people will to obey and en force them was the essence of law giving. If such is the power of the masses, surely in a Democratic Kepublic the masses must be identined with the spirit ot law and order, or all is lost They must be penetrated by a sense of accountability to the Judge of all, and a fundamental reverence for Him as the Great Law Giver or the prime condition of permanent prosperity does not exist Good Men Needed for Law Givers. But let us have men qualified by reflec tion, at least, aud by elementary educition, to be our law givers. It would "be weli if a pew editiou of Montesquieu's "Spirit of Laws" might be published for American youth, and made a text book for the upper classes of our colleges. In a country where every young man may live to be a judge, a Senator, or a member of the Cabinet, if not a Governor or a President; where every citi zen may be summoned to act as a juror; where even exempt citizens, physicians or clergymen may, at any time, be placed in positions where a knowledge of law and of laws will be of very great use to them, we must commend to" ail educated youth a study of law in its elements. And if Montesquieu could be prepared, annotated and enriched by some able jurist in the spirit of the American Constitution and of American history, we think bis very faults could be turned to good use by the overt. rulings of the editor; for then the young would be taught to read even authors of great repute with discrimination, and would be enabled to form opinions by the use of their own minds and moralsnot yielding themselves blindly to any theorist or phi losopher, however eminent in his day or popular in our own.

In favorinc; us with the score. Mr. Martins re marks: "Since 1845 1 suppose I have won thou sands of games, sometimes by ordinary every day play, taking advantage of tbe mistakes of opnonents; frequently, too, the wins have been accomplished in a style which my friends were leased to call 'artistic.' But this same von at iverpool from Mr. Sculthorpe is one of the few which, from Its beauty and elegance, is particularly impressed on my memory." The solution may bo left to tho ingenuity of our readers. (a) Wo must express a preference for 1823 at this point; that in the text, however, appears to be more popular. (b) The learner will observo that, were black to go 11 IB, the reply would be 3127, winning. Mc) If he take the other piece, then 2319 secures a good game. Tmf. GAME NO. 57 SINGLE CORNER.

Draught Editor Turf In answer to Mr. Hefter's letter, I deny that I have been tne means of delaying the match between Mr. Reed and myself, and I am at a loss to understand how he is so particular now about the time, which is not mentioned in tbe articles. All that is mentioned in regard to the time is that the match shall commence within 60 days after my arrival in America. I had fully made up my mind to leave here for San Francisco Feb ruary 18 next: the steamer wonld arrive about March 14, which would give plenty ol time for tbe match to commence by the middle of May. In regard to it I am quite satisfied that I have acted in an uprieht and honorable manner, wbioh I always intend to do. As Mr. Hefter is now very doubtful of the match taking place, I cannot afford to go to San Francisco on a "wilrt-coose chase." so will shortly leave hera lor England. My deposit of 20 10s. 8d. ($100) can remain in your hands tor the next six months; and should Mr. Keed be inclined to go on with the match, by giving me notice I can leave Scotland within a week's time for New York and call on you to make my hnal deposit ofS3 6s. Sd. If be declines to go on with it, I will then play Mr. Freeman, of Providence, an unrestricted match of 32 games, each one of us to choose eisrht different openings, for 5500 a side, and 100 to be allowed me for expenses should he uish the match played at Providence, or I will play him a match of 81 game3 for 51,000 a side, each one to choose 18 different openings, Vll letters to be directed to me, care of Mr. Robert McCall, Draught Editor of the Weekly Herald.

"S'Nifc Mr. J. O. Nicely, Derry Station, Pa. "I was troubled for over six years with catarrh which came from a cold I contracted while on one of my trips. My bead and nose became stopped np, first one side then the other; could scarcely breathe. The dropping of mucous into my throat was so bad that I had to sit up in bed to sleep. I was subject to oc casional dull, beavy pains over ray eyes and nose. Had ringing or roaring noises in my ears. Coughed in the morning and raised up quantities of mucous. I suffered from sharp shooting pains in tbe chest, in the region of the heart and under sbonldcr blades. My appetite was poor. 1 felt distressed and suffered from a nansea at the stomach. Felt dizzy on suddenly raising myself and my sleep was restless and disturbed. I always felt tired in the morning. "Called at the office of Drs. Copoland and Blair, and after examination, finding their charges so reasonable, I took treatment. Al most immediately my symptoms disappeared. Headaches stooped and pains in chest have ceased. Nose and bead became clear, and I ceased congbing or raising mucous. Slept well and felt refreshed npon arising. 1 feel better in every way since they have treated me than I have felt for years." t INDORSEMENTS Of Dr. Copeland's Home Treatment for Catarrh.
