I'eiTorinc'l l>y Hindoo Musicians
with ilic llujjfiilx'cli Shows.
In conjunction with the East Indiau
Perahera, presented as a feature with
the; Carl llageiibeck Greater Shows,
which exhibit in Butler, Tuesday, May
Mth, a coterie of Hindoo jugglers, so
classed, are presented. In appearance
they are best compared to our genuine
gypsies. In numerous accomplishments
they are exceptionally skillful. They
will make a serpent disappear; a tree
grow and bring forth fruit, or water
(low from an apparently empty vase.
Others will swallow a sabre or play
tricks with sharp knives FucU baa his
► pecial accomplishments. They are con
jurers, acrobats and exhibitors of
wonderful leats of strength. They form
a subtle and crafty tribe aud iu their
own county are feared by the common
pontile. The top trick is one of their
curious feats. A vigorous impulse is
given a top which is placed on tlie end
of a small stick and balanced on the
juggler's nose. Then, according to the
reijuest of the spectator,the top sudden
ly stops or again resumes its spinning
Au examination of both the top and
stick will reveal no mechanical eon
trivance. Another astonishing feat
consists iu receiving on the shoulders a
ball of stone of great weight dropped
from a very considerable height, with
out the juggler appearing iu the least
hurt. Other remarkable performers
utilize high masts or bamboo poles up
on the top of which they preform num
erous tricks with swords, kuiyes, etc.
They put themselves Into the niost
astonishing contortions anil perform
eij'.iilibristlc feats displaying wonderons
skill while perched on their bunding
and swaying poles.

01<;a NWhcrsolo--Next Week.
After an absence of six years from the
American stage, the distinguished
English actress, Olga Nethersole re
turns to Pittsburg at the Nixon for an
engagement of one week beginning
Monday, April 2:ird, piesenting three of
her greatest successes since her memor
able production of "Sapho" in New
York, when she was subjected to such
unjust persecution, from which, how
ever, she emerged triumphantly victori
ous, bearing with her as the spoils of
war, a s'gned statement from a New
York jury, totally exonerating her from
the charge of having produced an im
moral play, Misa Nethersole has spent
her time in Egypt and England where
she enjoyed three triumphant London
seasons. Upon the occasion of ber pre
sentation of "Sapho" to a London audi
ence, the present king and queen of
England lent the honor of their pres
ence to the theatre, thus giving the pro
ject the stamp of royal approval. Miss
Nethersole returns to these shores this
season reinvigorated by a desire to
again find favor with the audiences
which npon her last American tour took
her to their hearts.
