' The frjlowing will be read with interest by the curious: I will mention but one or two items, A grophio writer upon Japan some time since made the world acquainted with the most graceful and boautil'ul, nnd at the same time wonderful, of all the feats performed by the jugglers of i!iat country. Tliey were the top and butterfly trick. A top is et spit liiniT in he air, on its descent it ii catizlit on ftwfA'i'j of a jword, where it whirls merriiy; men u is orougm aiong uie Keen edge to the handle; then it renews its flight to be again caught, and ultimately it is sent, like a minature Bloudin, across a silken thread which Is invisible to the audience; meantime it descends the slack, sometimes ascends the hill, but is always sure of foot, and waltzes its way over the narrow path. from the boxes of a theatre to the back of the stage ns readily as across a drawing room. The butterflies are cut out of many colored paper, and fly about as if endowed with life. In obedience to the wave of a fan they fly high or fly low; now they flutter over a lady's boquet, now they light upon the spray of a wreath, now they gyrate mo'J.-!ike. round a gas-jet. This feat alone is si ilicietit to take the town by storm. Ti c Houston (Texas) Telegraph praises high y some cotton sent into Houston, that was raised by German labor in Austin coun'y, and says: V learn from reliable authority that the Gern ans in different portions of the Stat are making great preparations to plant larg field of cotton next season. Many have rented lands from planters who are willing to allow them their use for a reasonable consideration.

Gamblers in Smoking Cars Beware of Genteel looking Persons who Invite to Play Euchre. From the Cleveland Plaindealer. There are many pests t hat infests trains and railroad depots, bul'nune more despic able and tj be avoided than the ' poker players," to be found in the smoking cars on most of the trains of many of our roads. Tu the credit of some railroad companies, be it said, these nuisances and pests have been hunted out. They usually go in com panies of two and three, and put on the opt pearance of strangers' to eaeli jollier. One proposes a friendly game fur pastime. The accompliceseonsentaiid generally manage to draw a stranger in with them. The game progresses, becomes monotonous, and another proposes a small stake to give in terest to the game; The story issoon told. Tho stranger is fleeced. A gentleman ar rived here yesterday on one of the roads, having lost all the money he Lad, -,$175, in this way. From the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser, A day or two since a person who travels on one of the roads leading into the city called upon us with the request that we a'ould say something about the evil com plained ot above. He says there is a trio of genteelthieves who go over the road two or three times a week for the purpose of fleecing verdant passengers, and they are gtihtrally successful. The triclt to which they generally resort is thot of getting up a friendly gamo of "euchre," having prevail ed upon one or more of the passengers (o join in, "just to relieve the monotony." In the course of the game'one of the sharp ers compln'ns that he has no luck in hold ing "euchre" cards, but that if the game was "poker," his hands would always win. A bet is made between two of them, and the braggart loses. By and by one of the innocent passengers, w ho has seen the game of ' bluff." or "poker," finds that he has got "four of a kind" in his hand, and when the gentleman who proposed the game offers to bet that he lias gut " the best bluff hand round the board," passenger cannot resist the temptation, as he regards " four queen3 and an ace" ns a "sure thing." Twenty, fifty, perhaps an hundred dollars, is put up, (we know a late instance where the stake Decrease of the Alps. A modern writer on Nature and Art has spoken of the gradual but sure decrease of body in the Alps mountains; his thoughts and observations the traveler may easily verify. It is written of men that they ell do fade as a leal". The hills, also, are wasting and wearing awoy, and slowly run ning down td the sea. The valley is a wit ness to the mountain s weakness; me glazier pulverizes the rock, and every mountain streamlet carries down its contri bution to the plain, perhaps each drop a sand grain. The waste of the mountains is forming new earth. Nearly every Alpine lake is a proof of this. The Rhine depos its in lake Constance have formed a largo delta. What was formerly a lurae bay in Lake Lucerne is now a marsh, and in other part the rocks that one little brook has brought down have nearly stopped naviga tion. The earth that .the Ilhine has gather ed has shortened the southern horn of Lake Geneva nine miles. By observing and weighing tho amount of sediment in a cer tain quantity of water tuken from a glazier streamlet, the number of tons which Mont Blano annually loses was at once estimated. It thus becomes a matter almost within the range of mathematical calculation to com pute the number of years when the moun tains shall have yielded their strength, and when the "hill shall have been made low."

Over seventy prominent conver sions have recently been noted, and daily accessions are made to the church. War rensburg Standard. The departure of Lieut. Gen. Grant for Richmond has occasioned considerable conjecture, The prevailing impression is that he has been deputed by the President for a line of duty connected with high polit ical considerations, It is publicly an nounced that his tour will probably embrace Charleston and other Southern cities, while the suggestion has been made that it may extend to New Orleans, and even further beyond the Mississippi.

At this moment, a work ing man, with a paper ct.p on his head, in crossing the street, accosted a companion whom he met with the words, "Are you ready?" As he speke he turned a signifi cant glance on the funeral precession, and gave a shrug w ith h's shoulders by which I understood he meant if his companion was ready to be carried to the grave. The question was put to a light-hearted, thought less spirit; and his companion replied, "Not yet!' The question and reply occupied my reflections for some time after, end I thought to myseK, How many there are among ui, were the same inquiry to be made, who would answer, "Not yet!" -4
