SOMR WoNDF"FUL TniCKS PkrFOK MKD HT l'nK HlMDOQH. The fort of Calcutta, is often the scene of animated festivity, from the presence of native jugglers, renowned for their surprising skill and dexterity. The perfoV?u<t?^c^r^o|'Hh?\sc' str?ngt popple -I)aye 'beet) sojpften described/ that It tdmll: djil^ Vitiate mention of one winch strhckSrie-us-d)cing curious from its having a strong resemblance to the feats recorded in sacred history, as having been performed by the magicians of Egypt, and in the time of Moses, in the presence of Pharaoh The particular trick alluded to is the apparent conversion of a brass coin into a snake. The juggler gave nip the cjin to hold, and then seated himself, about fjjve yVi#sffi*bitf FC!*11 a small rug, f?o|h jjvlncb^lye n'o^'grgit tcmptcd fo move 'during* the wTiole performance. I showed the coin to several persons who were close beside me, on a form in front of the juggler. At a sign from him, I not only grasped tho coin I held fifthly in my hand, but crossing that hand with equal tightness with my left, I enclosed them both as firmly as I could between my knees. Of course I was positively certain that the small coin^wuff wjtht in my double fists. The juggler then began a sort of iucantation, accom panied by a monotonous and discord ant kind of recitative, and repeating (he words "Kam, Summa," during some minutes. He then suddenly stopped, and, still keeping his seat, made uquick motion with his hand,as if throwing "something' at tjne, giviiib; at the same time tn; p'uff, wit|i)hjs' mouth. At that instant I felt my hands suddenly distend, and become partly open, while I experienced a sensation as if a cold ball of dough, or some thijig equally soft, nasty and disagreeable was now between my palms. I started to my ibot in-as" tonishmcnt, also to tho astonishment of others, and opening my hand found there no coin; but to-hiy horror and alarm I saw ayoung snake, all alive; and of all snakes in the world, a cobra-di-capello, folded, or rather coiled, roundly up. I threw it inst antly to the ground, trembling with rage and fear, as if already bit by the deadly reptile, which began immed iately to crawl along the ground, to tho alarm and amazement of every one present. The juggler now got up fur the first lime since he bad sat down, and catching bold of the snake displayed its length, which was ucarly two feet?two feet nil,but a;m inch nude a half. Uo. ? then took iL'cuuti?tiil.).. by the tail, and opening his own mouth to its widest extent, let the head of the snake dfopMrito ib, ?hd deliberately commenced j,0 .swallow the animal,, till the end of the tail was only visible; then making a sudden gulp, the whole of tho snake viis up - pnrently swallowed. After this he came up to the spectators, and open ing his mouth wide, permitted us to look into his throat, but no snake or snake's toil was visible?it was seem ingly down his throat altogether. During the remainder of lHofpMeffbl?ti, ouces we never saw this snake again, nor did the man profess bis ability to make it reappear; but he performed another snake tick, which surprised, us very much. He took.from' his.bjfg another cobrn-d i-ca pel!o, and walking into tho center of the room, enclosed it in his hands in a folded stale. Ho waved, orshook them for some time in this condition, and then opened bis j lis'.s, when, presto! the snake was gone, and in its place appeared several smnll ones, which he suffered to fall from his hands, when they glided about the floor. A f] H I Mrs. Milliss was asked the other day how she managed to get along so nice ly with >lr. Milliss, and frankly re plied: "Oh I feed him wo" I. When a woman marries, her happiness for a Iitilo while depends upon the state of her husband's heart; after that it's pretty much according to the stale of bis stomach." "That Kaliker Dress." Ono day not long ngo nn old chap from the interior, accompanied by his wife, entered n Vicksbunj dry goods store, and after looking uind for a momeut lie said to the clei . "Pile yer host kaliker down here afore me, for Mirandy wants a dress." As the pieces were tumbled down lif^titlmVin f r; \'% I ir|ifldy's S>ccn purty ,good this |^wnic|,mnc|snc enn have her pick of 'tiSc'hiM MiUfc? in tha stor6." The old man felt of the different pieces and his wife tossed them over, and linallrthey settled on a particular piece and he said : "Cut her off nine yards o'that." "What! nine yards!" echoed the wife. "That's what I said, Mirandy." "I canjt gc,t a kaliker dress with a low up>beli[ri{U |p\* ont'"? no nine jftfflroU'jfsfif $.<c)l&ifu$d, iuruling pale with dismay. "Who said anything about loop*?'' he inquired. "Haven't you always got a kaliker dress out'u nine yards?" "Yes, but the fashion has changed I've got to have fourteen yards now." "Have, eh ? I'd like see myself buy ing any fourteen yards I" "Then you won't ?" "Not if I die for it." ) "Ybii arJ an old miser!" she hotly exclaimed. "Don't fool with the alligator, Mirandy, he warned. "Oh, I guess you'd better buy her the dress,'' put in the clerk, hoping to make peace. f'Damif I do!" growled the man. The woman walked down the store, /!< bkpd \i\tb tjipjba'cU yardl turned and .Ca(lecU?utt ill ! I j I j j< . I "Come here a minute, William." "What yer want?" he inquired. "Conic here, darling, I want to whisper to you," she continued. He followed her among the boxe?. Her face wore a smile, and he sits 'petted"1 'nothing. When1 he 'was clear of the door she turned and seized him by the windpipe, rushed him back wards, and flopped him over a idle of , ,r woo t: y -I i boxes, uij i'J '[Mirandy riL^.?oiip^bfoff ouL'n you, for this!"

When ready to go the; flldjniarrpyii.s nttho doririxjth the mules, ashane of sadness upon Iiis brow, but still willing to admit to the clerk : "Mirandy took me by surprise, but ^iU.tt.11 i igli>j; charge that kaliker to my ac^UUut.f"_i. Profanity never did any man tho least good. No man is the richer, or happier, or wiser, for it commends no one to any society. It is disgusting to the refined; abominable to tho good; insulting to those with whom we as sociate; degrading to the mind; unpro fitable; needless and injurious to so ciety. The Cyclone in the Gulf. , ' The 'terrible storm Unit rngod last week in, the gulf, of which we aro now 'getting the sad details from the sur vivors of its furv, was one of tho worst of which there is record. All day \ Wednesday, the 15th, and Thursday, the 16th, it raged at Galvcston with increasing fury, and then gradually abated, or rather moved off, traveling in a northeasterly direction, as these, storms are wont to do, we are told; after striking our const. Cuba and the other West Indian islands bail been visited before. Galvcston appears to have been at tho npex of the curve of the storm's course, and where its violence was the greatest und longest continuance. We stipp? so the storm was a true cyclone, revolving about a centre, and moving slowly along its path of destruction. Probably it ex hausted itself in the gulf region, or we should have accounts of its course in this direction. . Galvcston, Cedar Lake, Matagorda and Iudiunula arc nil cities or towns along the ? coast. Galvcston is on ah island, which is little more than a sand spit stretched across the mouth of Galvcston bay, some thirty mile long and three miles wide. It is near ly level, and has a mean elevation above the water of only three or four feet. In tho storm the sea broke clean over it, the wnter in Gal version's streets being, it is reported, two feet deep. Matagorda is on the main land, where the Colorado river discharges into .Matagorda bay, the bay itself being protected by a long, low peninsula. Indianohj is on the west shore of the same bay. Both of these cities are less exposed jhnn Galvcston; but they seem to .have suffered even worse ciir iamity^ilad as'the Vcperts'nrc,-they come from such authentic sources that not much can be discounted for exag gcration. Cities that, were propcrous and apparently sale arc prostrate, and hundreds of lives have been lost. The loss of property is less than it might he thought would he occasioned, owing probably to the lact that the invest mctit of capita) in fixed improvements was not large. ' Unquestionably there is a consider nble degree of destitution. Where so manv homes have been destroyed, and nil established meu.m of supplying daily wants interrupted, it could not be otherwise. Whether the destitution Is greater than the neighboring section ought to be cxpoctetl to remedy (loos not yet clearly appear. At all events, tho immediate necessities ofthc*ur jviving population will be supplied by ^ho communities of tho gulf slates. If the want is too groat for their liberali ty, the charity of the couutry will be Huflieient for it. For the irreparable .loss of thoKO who?c friends and fami lies have been suddenly swallowed up in the sea there will bo a generous sympathy. A certain judge, whose prompous and officious ways tempted some ot the lawyers to acts which his honor con strued to m.uu contempt, fined them $10 each. When 'hey had paid their 'lines, ii certain drv mid steady going old attorney walked up to the bench, and very gravely laid down a ten dol lar bill. "What is that for?" said the judg''. "For contempt, your honor," was the rcp'y. "Why I have not fin ed you for contempt," answered the judge. "I know that," said the law yer; "but I want you to understand that I cherish a secret contempt lor this court all the time, and I am wil ling to pay for it." ??P-?< -HI ? ii ?

The monks took a vow of perpetual silence, lived apart, ate apart, and met only for the. unsocial hours of prayer, when each was wrapped in his own meditation, nr..' no one uttered a syllable. Each one of the little cells where they slept had a small window or closet communicating with one of tho cotridors, and in this closet was placed the frugal meal, which was then taken into the ceil aud cnlen in solitude. Every quarter of an hour a bell struck to remind the listeners that they were so much nearer their death. In the gardens the railings avn tnm ntcnted with marble skulli, Rudrbu only sounds which used to disturb this splendid solitude were the tread 61 sandaled feet, the rustle of long, white robes, or the clang of the bell that told off their solemn live*, in brief moments, aud yet might have seemed long to them. These monks, like most others in Italy, have been driven from their retreat, and all their trea sures confiscated by Victor Emmanuel.
