Of the first named branch of its service the Chicago Herald, recently said, in speaking of the occasion of the National Republican Convention The Burlington Road probably brought in more people than any other. Altogetner it is estimated that from June 16 to 19, the period of the excursion rates, over 12,000 strangers came to Chicago over the Burlington." This was exclusive of suburban passengers and, mostly in addition to its heavy regular passenger traffic. In receipts of live stock, the Union Stock Yards' Reports show the Burlington Tb be far in the lead.

The latter figure also represents about 24 per cent, of tha total number of cars, 102413, brought to the Yards for the last half year, being more than six per cent, in excess of the receipts by any other road.

When the big woman saw him she plunged forward, fell heavily on his thii teen-inch chest, crushing him against the lamp post and sobbed out: "Oh Charley my dear husband!

Some two years ago, after having been sick for upwards of six months with malaria, I found myself with an enlarged spleen, dyspeptic, and constantly troubled with a headache, and my kidneys did not act very well either. Having spent most of my money for medicine and medical advice, I thought to save expense I would use Allcock's Porous Plasters, two on the small of my back, one on the spleen or ague cake, and one on the pit of the stomach, just under the breastbone. I continued using the Plasters about thirty days, changing them every week. At the end of that time I was perfectly well, and have remained so ever since. Geobgb Dixon.

and falls as the victim throws himseH on the ground beside the fire. Crouch ing low before the altar, he places his forehead on the ground, and thus humiliated he ravenously devours the thorny petals. As if this were not enough, he springs again- to his feet, and, seizing one of the pots of coal, he twirls it about his head until the surface ia glowing red. The Makaddan kneels beside it. In a second the cruel deed is done, and we see the gray impression of the boy's naked foot upon the red hot fire, while he is off and away with a cry of fiendish joy, and, unlike his predecessor, he takes his olace among his fellows, apparently without pain.

It is too dreadful, too uncanny to recount the spiked iron thrust into the flesh, the knotted cord, the jagged sword-blade. One would have forced out his eye, but Mohammed, by the mouth of his servant Makaddan, forbids the deed. Another threw himself upon ft sword, and a gray-haired man played with fire as if it were harmless as earth. There came a murmur among the spectators, the first I had heard, and the word Scorpion!" fell upon my ear. Truly I had never expected to behold that most terrible of reptilos, whose sting is instant death and whose touch is BUrd poison.

But it was true. They brought them in an earthern vessel, and I must Confess that American curiosity got the better of American manners, for "see them" we would, and see them we did.

Alas for us! in seeing we had been seen. The effect was instantaneous; but, in respect to our self-esteem, I will say we left With mord haste than dignity. The truth 'entrenous'' is they let these scorpions escape in oh midst! ftiid for days afterward each member of that Clandestine party of visitors to the dance "Aissaoui" imagined every passing sensation the warning throb of Coming dissolution, and an imaginary death from scorpion poison haunted us constantly.

Y. Commercial Advertiser. ABUSING A TIGER. A Disgusted Hindoo Delivers a Philippic Against a Wounded Beast. Comedy and tragedy go hand in hand in Hindoo tiger hunts.

An amusing example of the former is given by a traveler. A tiger had been wounded, but although one of his hind legs was" broken, it made its way into a patch of high grass, and hid there. Guided by the Bheels, the elephant entered the grass patch for the purpose of driving out the tiger. The cunning animal allowed the party to pass, and then sprang at one of the Bheels, "a little, hairy, bandy-legged man, more like a satyr than a human being." The Bheel dashed to the nearest tree, and owing to the broken leg of the tiger, was able to climb out of reach. Finding himself safe, the Bheel "commenced a philippic against the father, mother, sisters, aunts, nieces and children of his helpless enemy, who sat with glaring eyeballs fixed on Ms contemptible little enemy, and roaring as if his heart would break with rage.

The excited orator, warmed by his own eloquence, began skipping from branch to branch, grinning and chattering with the emphasis of an enraged baboon; pouring out a torrent of the most foul abuse, and attributing to the tiger's family in general, and his female relatives in particular, every crime and atrocity that ever was or ever will be committed. Occasionally he varied his insults by roaring in imitation of the tiger; and at last, when fairly exhausted, he ieaned forward till he appeared to be within the grasp of the enraged animal, find ended this inimitable scene by spitting ill his face. Sometimes the tragic element prevails. In one of these too numerous instances a man-eater, which for six months had beeii th terror of the neighborhood, had been traced down, and was seen to creep in a ravine. The beaters were at once ordered off, as they could not be of service, and might be charged by the tiger, which had already been rendered furious by the wound.

Unfortunately these men are in the habit of half intoxicating themselves with opium before driving the tiger" from its refuge, and one of them having taken too large a dose refused to escape, and challenged the tiger, drawing it defiantly. In a moment the anlffial sprang upon him, dashed him to the ground with a blow of his paw, and turned to bay. After a series of desperate charges he was killed. The hunters then Went to the assistance df the wounded man, but found that he Was past all aid; the lower part of his faee, including both jaws, having been carried away as if by a cannon-ball. The terrific effect of the single blow indicates the power of the limb which struck it.

Had the blow taken effect a few inches' higher the whole of the head would have been carried away. By a similar blow a tiger has been known to crush the skull of an ox so completely that when handled the broken bones felt as if they were loose in a bag. The wonder at this terrible strength diminishes when the limb is measured. The tiger which killed the foolhardy man was by no means a large one, measuring nine feet five inches from the nose to the tip of the tail; yet the girth of the forearm was two feet seven inches. The corresponding limb of a very Its Grasp Relaxed By Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, constipation is succeeded by a regular habit of body.

The bowie-knife was the invention of Colonel James Bowie, a famous frontiersman, who was born in Logan County, in 1796. In 1814 he settled on a small piece of land, where he lived by lumbering, fishing and hunting, soon afterwards made i considerable money by speculating in negroes and in real estate, removed to Texas and married the daughter of ex-Governor Berrymenda. In 1829-30 he engaged actively in the revolution in that country, and closed his career in the bloody battle of the Alamo. His knife is said to have been invented while he was confined to his bed in the city of Natchez from the effects of a wound received in a border fray. He was a man of much mechanical ingenuity, and whittled from a piece of white pine the model oi a hunting'knif which he sent to two brothers named Blackman in the city of Natchez and -told them to spare no expense in making a duplicate of it in steel.

This was the origin of the dreaded bowie-knife It was made from a large saAV-mill file and its temper aftery ward improved upon by the Arkansas blacksmith. It is said by Durand in his "History of the Philadelphia Stags" that the knife which Edwin Forrest used in "Metamora" was the original bowie-knife, and he tells this story about it: Very many years ago Bowie owned a plantation at Bayou Terrebonne. A Spanish neighbor constantly annoyed the Colonel with petty insults until at last his conduct became so unbearable that Bowie challenged the haughty hidalgo. The latter accepted and named knives as the weapons to be used, and also stipulated that the combatants Were id be seated vis-a-vis astride of a trestle, as oil a hdise the four legs of the trestle to be buried about a foot in the earth, so that it could not by any possibility be overturned. Each of the principals was permitted to use in the duel whatever kind of knife he might select.

Bowie had ft short knife. With a broad blade, sharij at the" point and with a razor's edge made for himself, Wiieii the combatants met oh the ground named, Bowie's knife excited the ridicule of liisS advei-sary. The result, however, proved the superiority of the bowie-knife to the' long Spanish couteaU-de chassis used by his antagonist. The men took their seats ori the trestle, both naked to the waist; At the agreed-upon signal the Spaniard drew back his hand, armed with the long knife, td make tt lunge. Bowie, however, thrust the knife straight forward intd the body of his enemy and then drawing it quickly across, disemboweled thd Spaniard in the twinkling of an eye.

Bowie presented the knife he used in the duel to Edwin Forrest during a visit the great tragedian made to the Colonel at his plantation. American Notes and Querries. CONCERNING SOUPS. Vanderbilt's Cook Tells How to Prepare Ktttritious Varieties. The French preparation of soup3 is perfect in the care taken to remove all grease, which is allowed to rise to the surface and become hard, then being removed in a solidified mass.

The French avoid noodle, lobster and mock-turtle soups, and they do not use vermicelli or macaroni. Delicately Organized persons take safely oyster, tomato, grumbo, rice, oxtail, puree of bean soup. If eggs are added to soup, it will be richer and more nutritious. Excellent force-meat balls for game and mock-turtle soups are easily made: Rub to a paste the yelks of five hard-boiled "eggs, adding slowly and carefully," at discretion, some calve' brains, also two beaten eggs; season with salt and butter, and add these to the soup five minutes before boiling. The French make their soup the day before it is to be used, giving ample time for the fat to rise, harden and be removed.

Before serving the next day it may be thickened with rice, flour or whatever is preferred. To prepare a lunch bouillon; a soup-bone of five or six pounds is required; cut the meat into small pieces, crack the bones and turn it all into two quarts of cold water; let it simmer for five hours, when the strength will be taken from the meat; remove all the fat and strain through a sieve; it should boil down to ten cups, then season with salt and pepper. This served in cups. Another more elaborate bouillon is prepared with four pounds of the brisket of beef; place it in a glazed stew-pan. Pour over it three quarts of cold water; add three teaspoonfuls of salt; place it at the side of a fire and carefully remove the scum as it rises; allow the regular slow heat for four hours, occasionally adding a table-spoonful of cold water, which will cause the scum to rise.

When quite clear add two turnips, two carrots, one leek, one fried onion with two cloves in it, a head of celery, a bunch of parsley, with a bouquet of sweet herbs, and a teaspoonful of black pepper, and let it stew for one hour more. Take out then the bouilli. or boiled meat, and the vegetables, and strain the soup, which is served French fashion, poured over slices of bread at the bottom of the toureen, or English fashion, with small squares of toasted bread- The bouilli, used as a remove to the soup, should be sent in with the vegetables neatly arranged around it.

Within the city of New York a little Smith was born. kicked and grew (as babies will) until one summer day lie found himself just twenty years upon life's stormy way. And then began his troubles dire. He loved a little maid Who would not marry him because "Ilis'name is Smith." she said. I do believe one-half mankind bear that same appellation.

And though I love you, John, I must refuse your application. Legislature would not change his name for such a whim. "Tis pood enough for us," they said, "and good enough for him." You see it happened strange to say they all were burdened with The seir-same name that ancient name, the myriad name of Smith. He vowed to travel far away to climes unknown before. And Haggard-like explore their depths in search of fame and gore.

To many foreign lands he went, but whereso'cr he came Ha found some former voyager had carried there his name. The dry-goods clerks in every land, the sailors on the ships. When asked to tell their names they formed his name between their lips. The merchants and the doctors, the nobles-yes, the Kings, Pronounced the magic name of Smith with varied mutterings. A sadder and a weary man, he sought his native shores.

But scarcely had he put his foot on Castle Garden floors When waiting for him stood the maid he loved so Ions? Rirn Bhe started back, then cried aloud in tones full-fraught with woo: 'If you had waited but one day I might have been your wife. Cut just a year ago, dear John, I tied myself for life." What is your name!" John frantic cried. "This is a cruel myth." With downcast eyes she answered low: "My name my name is Smith." Five minutes later John was carried hOmoward in a hack. And just five minutes after he lay dead upon his back. The mourners at his grave were few.

What An American Trader Saw sit the Secret Performance of Sdl Mohammed's Votaries Self-inflicted Tortures by Fire ana Sword. The energy born of a belief in persecution inflicted for the sake of future felicity, or in penanco for present sins, has tbecn the theme of endless criticism among writers upon the subject of religious observances in the East. In fact, one finds it hard to believe that such examples of physical endur-anco under self-inflicted torture can exist.

The law of self-preservation, the motto "Errare humanum est," is bo strong in Christian civilization that the tendency is rather to shrink from self-accusation than to resort to the energetic measures of exorcism practiced by the heathen of long ago. Yet in this civilized age, in this seemingly civilized City of Algiers, there remains a sect of Mohammedans whose penance for sin is as strictly and cruelly self-imposed to-day as in the ancient times. It may be for stealing ft horse, or for cheating a neighbor, or vaking the name of Allah in vain. "Who may tell for what these stately, white-robed Arabs scourge themselves? Enough that, light as the offense, Allah must be avenged, and conciliation is only attained by the dance Aissaoui." We have been fortunate (or unfortunate) enough to be present at this I trance fanatic religious performance, and have seen this relic of barbarism till extant in this civilized nineteenth century. The dance Aissaoui is a performance which the votaries of Sidi Mohammed alone indulge in secret, of course, from the watchful eye of the French Government, and secret, too, from all eyes but those who, in mem-Pry of former days, when worship of run-gods, idols and fire stirred their race to untold horrors, find in this observance some of the religious ecstasy described by their fathers and grandfathers as atonement for sin and the inspiration of Sadi Mohammed biu Aissa, their god.

That we saw thi3 ceremony through the machinations of a traitor goes without saying. Mystery attended our going from tho first. Very mysterious was the communication of our guide, iind still more clandestine the gathering of our little party at the foot of a given palm tree, where we stood trembling with excitement. Suddenly a white-robbeo figure darted ahead out of the night, and our guide, apparently not perceiving him, and with a motion to us not to betray his presence, started in pursuit. How can I describe the maze into which he led us.

Alleys, not more than three feet wide; streets that were just a flight of steps always ascending, the projecting roll's on either side scarcely permitting us to see the line of starlight sky above; places so narrow that the ghost-like figures of the Arabs stealing to and fro vrero forced to press themselves against the houses to give us passage. What frights we saw through those eastern entrances, what riches of Moorish decoration, what subjects for artists or writers! Here a family engaged in embroidery, the father sitting cross-legged on straw matting, the half-naked boys arranged or sorting the brilliant colored silks, and the whole 6cene lighted by a flaming Eastern lamp suspended from tho rafters; in the next shop a "tonsovial artist" plying his trade, or delicately staining the finger and tonails of his patron with red henna. There a leather merchant among the yellow and red morocco, and here again a worker in copper. wo came upon coffeehouse, that sight so foreign to strangers eyes, tha long, gold divans, the turbaaoii Lead resting against white tho line Qi shoes before each lhere was no lamp to show the pitfalls here, and but for walking in line, our hands resting on the shoulders of the one in front, we must have stumbled and fallen, or lost ourselves complete ly in the night. When we emerged there was a wider space ahead, and a lamp showed us our guide, looking perplexedly about.

The Arab had disap- peared; two dusky figures, bare-legged and clad in rough arab carpets, the Turkish fez for cap, leaned idly against the wall. These were Nubians. The Arab's work was done; he had betrayed the hiding- place of his fellows and glided off as mysteriously as he had appeared, and none of us had seen his face. These two black boys only laughed to see the anxious glances "exchanged among the foreigners and skipped off ahead. beckoning us, with a knowing wink, to louow.

juore steps, more slippery cobbled alleys, more darkness, then there broke upon our ear the weird. unearthly sounds attending the festival Aissaoui. If the slave who admitted me was brought by Arab "number if and therefore expected vis know not; nor pjra 1 responsible for the seemingly doubtful veracity of what I am to relate. I will try faithfully to record what I saw, and if it was in part a farce and a mean deceptive trick, so much the better for the credit of the French Republic, which boasts to have conquered, civilized, and in part re fined tho haughtiest race under the sun. A winding, vaulted passage led ua into a square room Imagine an open court paved in red tiles? rri arcade all around, and above a balcony supported by pillars.

On three sides there were rooms opening from the court, on the fourth a flight of steps and benches ar ranged on either side along the walL By the dim light In the surrounding rooms wo could perceive figures arrayed in costly silks and white gently swaying back and forth as If Unconscious bf any thing but the scene before them. These were spectators and pilgrims, and some, the guide told us, belonged to noble and wealthy families in Algiers. From the balcony above peered anxious women's faces vailed to the eyes. These women kept up a continual low moan, and occasionally joined in tho most unearthly yell. But the main interest centered in the Court be low, where a dozen or more natives squatted on the ground in a circle, swaying, howling, shouting, or laughing in a fiendish manner, as the spirit moved them, beating with unceasing sameness of tune upon their tam-tams an even, monotonous noise, performed with head, elbow and hand.

In the center of the group was a small arrangement of stone and tiles (perhaps an altar,) on either side of which Were two chanfrets of red-hot coaisi Attached to the pillars on all four sides of the court were flaring oil lamps, which threw a weird, uneven light upon the circle below, but so arranged that our corner beneath the balcony was entirely in shadow and was quite unobserved by the excited participants in the fete. They seemed unconscious of our entrance, and a great clay water jug shielded us from tho view of those beyond. The scene was barbarous in the extreme the deafening sound of the tam-tams, the shouting of the men, tho moaning of tho women, with now and then that terrible savage scream which begun in a high note and sank gradually away to a chatter such as monkeys give as they lean their heads against the bars of their cages. After an interval one of the players was "inspired by Alssa." With a yell he threw aside his tambour, rushed into the center of the ring, commencing a frantic dance. The Makaddan (head of the order) arose, and taking his burnous from his shoulders endeavored to enfold the now contorted brother therein, but with fearful violence the other seized it, wound it about his person, tossed it over his head, and stamped it under his feet.

The noise of the drums grew louder as the subject became more frantic. We clung to our seats in cold terror as the voice of our guide came to us in a calm whisper "No matter what happens only keep cool; they will not harm you!" Now another has become inspired." The monkey screams are repeated again and again. There are two now throwing themselves in maniacal ecstasy; the burnous is between them; a bunch of broom is thrown into the ring; both struggle for it; between them it is lighted in the furnace; thoir hands and arms are thrust into the flames; one has also seized a bundle of dry flax, has lighted it, and to my horror I see him press the flaming mass to his bare chest and into his open mouth. Soon he falls exhausted and another takes his place. This one seizes a red-hot iron from the fire; it burns his hair, smoke arises.

I see him draw his hands across it and lay it on his foot with yells and how's of pain; the master carries him away, and immediately another rushes forward; I have had suough, and would leave the terriblo tcene, but this last fanatic fascinates me. He is young and beautifully built. His white "gan doura" and blue and gold jacket seem one garment as he whirls past me into the court hair, arms, clothing, one dizzy whole. hat will he do? what can he do more than the ethers?

Lovers of base-ball may find it convenient to keep in mind this explanation of the pitcher's curve from Mr. R. A. Proctor: If the ball is advancing without spin, or is spinning on an axis lying along its course, the cushion of compressed air carried forward by it is conical or rather conoidal aj.d therefore resists tho progress of the bali equally on all sides, affecting only the velocity. But in the case of the curve, where the ball is spinning on an axis square 'to its course, tho air in front of the advancing side of the surface cannot escape so readily as if there were no spin, and escapes more readily on the other side.

Hence the resisting cushion of air is thrown toward that side of the ball where the spin is forward, and removed from the other and the ball is deflected from the region 6f greatest Arfaimui Traveler EXCURSION RATES FOR TORPID LIVER.
