Of Damascus, the ever-fascinating city
Where one may see, in their most concentra-
ted form, what Kinglake calls “the splendor
and the havoc of the East,” Mr. Oliphant sf.
for-(ls some very attractive glimpses; but the
most interesting passage, and the only one
that we can find room to quote, is his de-I
scription of the “dervish miracles.” The
fame of these “miracles” has extended far;
but, in general, strangers are jealously ex—
cluded from the performances, and it was
only by the intervention of the police that
Mr. Oliphant obtained permission to visit
(with a party of friends) acertain Sheik Rus-
iau Aboutounwho lived in a quarter of Da-
- maecus known as the Meidan : ,

The ‘two victims stood before us with their
.luonths :pressed back, and the projecting
~ skewers showing the points through their
cheeks. with as much apparent comfort as if
‘it were the normal condition of their being.
- Leaving them in this attitude. the sheik again
disappeared into his room. This time he re-
turned with a small square box,drawing back
the sliding lid of which he extracted a scor-
pion of unusual size, its vicious tail curling
and striking its own back asit writhed be-
tween his fingers. This he handed to another
Dervish. clothed and looking more, in his
right mind than his skewered comrade, who
gammy dropped the lively reptile into his
‘mouth (1 crunched it with great apparent
gusto. As he was as large as an ordinary
laud crab, it was a big mouthful, and seemed
to whip up into a sort of lather as he chewed
it. His countenance, as he went on much-
ing, was so impassive that I could not judge
whether live scorpion is nice or not; prob-
ably it is an acquired taste. Another dervish
joined in the repast,and disposed of a smaller
one with equal 'equanimity.
“I now suggested that we were satisfied in
regard to the skewers, and that the company
generally would feel more comfortable if
they were extracted. It is decidedly un-
pleasant to have two men with their cheeks
trusted staring at you while others are eating
live scorpions. Their mouths were so press-
ed back that they seemed to be grinning

‘yoiid' me. The sheik, too, would probably
have been offended, for he went through the
whole performance with the greatest solem-
nity, taking long, deep inspirations as he
muttered incantations in which the name of
.Allah occurred frequently, before he touched
the skewers; then with a dentist-like twitch
he jerked them out. The points were blood-
less, and the outside of the cheek showed
only a slight induration, like that of a cica-
trized wound; there was no redress or in-
flammation. ‘
“The sheik now once more returned to his
room and brought out a larger box, which
he opened, and drew forth from it several
snakes of all 'sizes.’ These began to wriggle
. about the floor? in ,a disagreeable manner,
with an overpov‘vering attraction apparently
for the legs of foreigners. However, the
sheik charmed them in ihe usual manner,and
they soon all curled up submissively; then
taking one about two feetlong by the tail, he
held it up in a manner so tempting that it
. proved irresistible to a tall, perfectlycinsane
docking dervish, who was afilibtedwith a sort
‘Of St. Vitus's’dancé. and who, fishihg for-
ward out of the crowd, gave a loud yell,
snatched the twisting snake out of the
sheik’s hands with both of his, gave it a
sudden violent jerk which snapped it in two,
'a'i'ld plunged the'bleeding and palpitating end
into his mouth. This was a signal for a gen-
eral scramble ; the half-naked dervish who
had been skewered seized hold of the other
ind. hbd scoured at least" 'six inches all to
himsel'fl The men who had eaten the scor.
pious joined in voraciously, and in two min—
utes the entire animal had disappeared, and
the human beings ’who had'géilten it w’ere
wiping their bloody chops with much ap-
parent relish. The tall St. Vitus’s dance
men, indeed, seemed to become intoxicated
with delight or some other emotion, and .
went into a sort of convulsion, from which
he was only restored by. the most intense
shit on the part of the sheik, who seized
his head between his hands,pressing it vio-
lently as he took long breaths, and the veins
swelled in his forbead with the concentration
of his magnetic or other forces, as he repeat-
ed the formula of incantation, and finally
restored his disciple, of whom he ,was evi-
dently proud,- to comparative calm. With
the exceptidn of the skewer efiair, there
nothing very wonderful in all this; for,after
all, the power of a man to make a beast of
himself may be pushed to a very consider—
able. length before it becomes inexplicable, so
I was relieved to see preparations for experi-
m‘6nts of a di‘rent nature.
“A brazier of burning charcoal was
brought in, and the,_chercoal fanned into a
blaze. The sheik then went through an in—
vocation, and suddenly with his bare feet
feet jumped upon it and stood there for
nearly a minute, the lurid fisme curling
round them. The moment he got off, the

was again fanned, the smell of burning flesh;
becoming powerful and sickening as theyl
crunched the glowing morsels. Live coals
are possibly the antidotes to 8|!ka after you
have eaten them; but the general effect of
all this strange diet wasbeginning to have a,
powerful influence upon the nerves of some
of the spectators, who protested that they
were unable to witness further horrors. A
man now stepped forward, stripped to the
waist, with a skin almost as fair 8 as Euro-
pean’s. His face had none of that expression
of fanatical insanity which characterized
some of his fraternity, but was calm and
somewhat commonplace. The sheik re ap—
peared armed with e skewer of larger dimen-
sions than he had thrust through the checks
of the that victims. to the .end of which
was attached a heavy iron ball, and proposed
to run it through the man’s threat from the»
front, bringing it out at the nape of the neck.
At this there was a general scream of horror
and dismay. In vein did the sheik protest
that theoperation would be absolutely pain.
less, and show us the indurated spots on the
opposite sides of the men's neck_ through
which the instrument was in the habit of
passing, while the man half smiled with a
bland expression of disappointment at being
deprived of a pleasure to which he was
apparently looking forward. The repugnance'
of some of our party was not to be overcome,
. and the sheik turned with an expression of;
contempt to make preparations for what wasi
- to follow. Pushing the same dervish's waist
clbth down an inch or two he revealed a row.

cnrved knife about eight inches long and
nearly two broad from a sheath, and propos-
ed to plunge it to the hilt in his stomach.
It had a short wooden handle about four
inches in length, and there was no possibility
of the blade slipping back into the handle.
But here again he Was stopped by a cry of
horror from the ladies. This time the man
himself" earnestly joined his protestatitfi to'
those of the sheik ; his credit seemed at
stake, u? the women on the housetops began
tOchatter, and there was a general look of
dissatisfaction on the part of the spectators
in the courtyard. I examined both the scars
and the knife. The former were thin, beau-
tifully healed incisions; the latter es'sharp‘
as a razor, and of the finest steel. 1 am‘
very sorry that veracity ,c‘ompels me to leave
this most interesting experiment to the read-
er’s imagination. The party had now made:
up their minds. to leave the place, and
seemed to have no other idea than a hurried
escape from it's precincts; so we made rather:
an ignominious ‘exit, leaving the sheik be—‘
wildered and somewhat indignant-at o'urI
pusillanimOus conduct.” .
Afterward Mr. Oliphent had a private
interview with the sheik. who told him that
the power to perform these wonders dated
back to an unknOwn period, and. came from
istill farther East; that it was the, same
‘ power which had been exeicise'd by the sages,
seen, and magicians of the Bible and other
sacred books; and that they were permitted
for the special purpose of convincing unbe~
lievers that the powers claimed by holy man
were not mere fables, but actual. facts and
the basis of religious belief. A friend of
Mr. Olipbant’s had several: times seen the
knives plunged into the bodies of the der-
vishes, leaving only a cicatrix without any
effusion of blood; and, if there was any
trickery in the matter, it was certainly less
transparent than that of another miracle-
monger of whom Mr. Ollpbant subsequently
heard. This worthy had accumulated a
large fortune by professing to assure the
birth of a son to women in a certain state:
“Upon being applied to for assistance, he
invariably prophesied the wished-for result,
at the same time writing, in an obscure.cor-
ner of the house, a prediction to the eflcct
that the coming event- would not bee sun
but a daughter. If it turned out'a son,‘he‘
said nothing of the Written prediction,‘and
passed for a great seer; if, on the other
hand, a daughter arrived, he explained that
he waswell aware that such would be'the,

to Baalbec, Malula, and other places 'of inter-

it would be tried, he proceeded to Obnstanti-’
nople in May; and there spent moreIlmcnths
than his long journeyings and explorations
had requircd, in futile efiorts to overcome
the delays and holtility of these. 'w‘hOse
official sanction was necessary to “the success
of the scheme, Mr. Oliphant attributeshis

pulous adventurers whosurround the Sultan

Harper's: Magazine.
The present revival of interest in embroid-
ery seems likely to be more permanent than
any that has preceded it, because it is now
something morethan a passing fashion in
dress, as was the case inEngland in 1846,
when London alone employed two thousand
pair of hands in decorating, every. conceiva-
his article of dress, worn— by the ladies of
fashion. 'Now it is her own handiwork, the
hours ‘of patient stitching, the choice of
materials and colors, and the realization of
an artistic thought‘ that the. lady of fashion
is proud of not, as formerly; the money that
these cost. She has new a real appreciation
of the beauty of her India shawl, with its
seven hundred stitches to the square inch.,
and other,,felttures that make her treasures
of old lace so valuable. The mere filling in
of worsted work is superseded by an ceca-
pation that requires thought, knowledge;
taste, and skill; the promised slippers or sofa
cushion are no longer so much to be dreaded
and even the afghan, chair back. and.
chauffepied are assuming artistic importance
—,—things that can not only be tolerated for
the sake of accociation but which we can
conscientiously admire, and be thankful for.
Of course many things are embroidered
which should be perfectly plain. if, indeed,
as in the case of a valance for a mantel,
they should exist at all; but this lack of dis.
crimination is incident to all beginnings. and
we may feel certain that the enthusiasm
whiéh has carried the mental valance to
completion will léadlto a degree of acquire-
ment that will acknowledge its incongruity,
and bythat time the heat and soot of the fire
will have rendered it unsightly enough to be
consigned to the attic, among the useless
accumulations of the pest. ‘

filling the entire hall. Miss Francis F. VVii-

address. Before estimating“ the significance
of the example of Mrs. Hayes, and of total
abstinence at the White House, she said it
would be necessary to leek forward at the
mountains of difiic'ulty which ,lie between
the hour of triumph of temperance principles.
With rapid well chosen words 'sheIslretchcd

sketched in vivid word painting two bridges,

moderate drinking, through which thol'ISan'ds
had fallen. In conclusion she invoked God’s
blessing on the noble brotherly President and
his lovely wife, whose good will bed sent a

gentleness and natural alliance to the church
and home, so much trust could be placed.

her face turned around almost in full. She
is clad in a rich maroon dress. Her right

The Goat.
[Boston Transcript.)
The goat is a.tive of the vacant lots about
the city, and there are lots of them. '
The goat is omnivorous. He will goat any-
thing that hc sees, and will seine anything
that he may goat.
His principal foomowever, is play bill.
He is very fond of letters. .
Let us honor him for his love of bill letters.
, The gentleman goat is called Billy, but he
is a Billy that no policeman can handle.
The lady goats are called Nanny. This is
their ewe-Nanny-mous name.
The young goat is called a kid. Kids are
on hand the year round.
The goat is generous to a fault. He presents
a couple of horns to everybody he sees.
The goat‘s horns are always above his
browse.
In the matter of mere cash, the Cashmere
treat to the most famous.
There are many udder kinds of goats.
The female goat gives milk. She will bring
astrong man tohismilk.lfshe feels. infill“
it. . '
The milk is good' for making cheese. but it
is not just thecheese when you are brought
to your milk. '
Goats are fond of the outskirts of large
cities; also hoop-skirts. _
Goatskins are made into men-econ ; you‘

experiment. ,
The goal wears. a heard. It is alien a
goatee, though not confined to the goat.
The goat is worile than the Old Nick. He
shows the eleven, beef.
The goat is a rsrejoker, though heins
been rather overdone by theparagrephic pro-
fession. , _
He is not a beast of burden, although he
has been the burden of countless paragraphs,
The goat is noted forahis bunting; but he
never flags. . ' IA
. The goat is one of the signs of the zodiac,
signifyng that he has it propensity to knock
He never gets high himself. That is to
say, he never gets over the hose
Shakespeare understoodthe spontanisty of-
the goat when he snid. '“Stand net upon the
order of your. going, but goal. once.” ,
The goat is wide-awoke animal. He is
never caught nipping, notwithstanding the
sanity cases of kidrnapping you may have
read about. 1
For many years the goat was the only but-
ter known. Oleomargine now suets some
palates better. _
- Goats love to get on a high rock and sun
themselves. Give them a chance and they
will always seek a sunny climb. ' , '
The poor Pan woe ssort ofbalf-Igost. All
goats do notpsn out sonell as he did. . g
The worst of all goats is the rediugote.

M. J. Delsnusy proposes the angel. theory
that earthquakes, as well as many memor-
ological phenomena, are produced by the
passage of the plane“ throughmsssesof me-
teors. The areas severe seismic-tempos”, he
believes, are caused. by the m of“!!!

III incrase of shocks in the month of August
and November. The most violent and long
condoned convulsions, M. Delsunay believes,
takes place when two large planets pass by
the cosmic groups at the same time. Of this
character were the earthquakes of 1755, 1783,
1820 and 1841. .0
The handling of petroleum in any con-
siderable quantity is, as is well known,
attended by much danger on account of its
explosiveness and the rapidity. with which
fire is spread thereby. M. Ichlumberger,
whose mind has for some time been occupied
with this subject. has finally proposed a plan
by which he behaves that allfire following
. an explosion may be prevented. His meth-
od is the placing of s moderately'large
bottle of aqua ammonia upon every burel or
keg of petroleum. Should an explosion
occur. the: dual: will shatter the bottle.

proves to bc the case.
Prof. Aalmiere. of Naples, has constructed
an apparatus by which the purity of oils
may be determined by-- the resistance that
they offer to the passage of electricity.
Olive oil, the poorest conductor, is taken as
the standard for companso' n. The apparatus
may also-serve to reveal the presence-of cot-

The interesting experiment of a “Sunday
science school” hssbeen made in Edinburgh,
with very satisfactory results. Ninety-two
pupils were enrolled, with an average at-

The pupils were mostly of the artisan class,

Probably no 'men has more thoroughly

8., who recently lectured in London upon
the early inhabitants whose traces are found
in these caverns. Among the interesting
results of his fumigation he mentioned
'_ that the horse was used for food by these
people, and probably also the dog. The dog
of those times appear to have been a much
larger animal than the average dog of the
present day. Fire was obtained by striking
a light from the familiar mineral,iron pyrtiel.
The potter's wheel, does not seem to
have been made known. but pottery was
made by hand. The cave. implements
show that the prehistoric inhabitants ground
corn, and engaged to some extent in mining
operations. .
