A Remarkable Darky.

[At Helena, Ark., there is a wonderful ttored man named Mack Hamilton, who s been making a show of himself on the leets of that town. Some of his feats Insist of eating large quantities of porceIn and glass without any deleterious es pts. His appetite is always in good or k and for a dime lie will eat enough U nvince the most skeptical that tijere 1; | trick about it. He also drinks as much la gallon of water at a tjme, and then lib a motion of his right arm-such a ption gs is eiven to the handfefof a pump lien pumping—the water comes out of b mouth in a stream as clear as when Kt swallowed. He also is able to drink fling water and eject it by means of this Imp-like process, and when it is emitted lis hot enough to scald. He swallows |e frogs and small snakes, and by a sime motion of his arm they are forced out Ibis mouth. He hasdraiik„a half-gallon ■whisky without teeling the slightest in nvenience. He has had some splendid lers from different people to go in, in Iw, but he prefers to be his own master. I has a dread that some doctor will kill ■i for the purpose of making an exami lion of him.
