Wonderful Juggling.

A Hindoo lecturing in Brooklyn said of the famous Indian jugglers: “They cab swallow a chain and make it clii k in their stomach, and also can swallow

a sword. The magic trick it one of t'reir best feats. They procure a small piece of wood, and, having plant ed it in the ground, they ask the bystander what fruit he would prefer. The juggler, wrapped in a sheet, will erouch to the earth, and through a rent in the garment one can see him cut himself with a razor under his arms and rub a piece of wood in his blood. The tree then comes forth, first as a sprout, then full of leaves, and finally bearing fruit.”
