An Eastern Fakir.
It occurred near Lommoek in the
East. I was young then, and was
traveling around the country with the
idea in my head that the oiliiceof Amer-
icans was to teach the world, and as tl
consequence I often got left, On this
occasion I went ashore to spend the
night at a native village four or five
miles inland, where it was reported
that a famous juggler lived. We were a
jolly party, all beside myself being
sailors, and having a hard time riding
the native ponies; but, after a few cap-
sizes, we reined up at the fakir's, and
made up a purse of about two dollars,
without which not much could be done.
Some of his tricks beat anything 1 ever
saw.
He was a tall, thin, olive -hued fellow
with long black hair tied up with a
string. Ile was extremely reticent, and
during the performance neither spoke
nor smiled. The first thing was to ar-
range the party around him in a circle
of about thirty in diameter, and we
were so close together that no one
could pass out without our knowing it.
Toprovent such a possibility he gave
us a cord to bold. This being One, he
and a smaller native with a bundle of
wood took their places in the . center.
This young man arranged the wood in
a pile and lighted it, and when it
blazed up the alder man seized lain,
threw him upon the flames and held
him down. Immediately there arose a
dense, suffocating smoke that seemed a
mixture of flash and sandalwood. It
rose above their heads andspreadabout
until it completely hid them, and from
it came such groans and cries that sev-
eral of the men cried out that we had
better take a hand, as the boy was be-
ing murdered. But I reminded them
khat it was only a trick, no matter how
realistic. We waited perhaps five min -
rtes when the yells ceased and the
. ioke gradually cleared away, and
•hero stood the old fakir alone, the
young nran having, to all intents and
purposes, been burned. Ile was scoop-
ing
coo -
in something from the fire, evidently
asks, into a flask which was handed to
us and passed round—the cremated re-
mains of the assistant
"But," interrupted a gentleman at
the foot of the table, "didn't he slip
out in the smoke?"
There was no place to go to, as we
were in a clearing away from trees or
bushes, But the most unaccountable
part is yet to come. "After psssin
the flask around he took it back and
placed it in the center of the circle, and
putting some wood under it, lighted it,
Almost immediately the flask began to
(row before our eyes; the fire blazed,
and a rich odor of sandalwood floated
about, and in ten minutes the flask had
expanded until it was the size of a
lar a keg. The lire was then put out,
and we were beckoned to come near
and examine. I touched it, and it
seemed a. jar of earth made of plaster
or mud; it had a ringing sound, as I
:;truck it with my seal rine, and to the
band it was hot. After looking it over
we returned to our place:. The old
fakir then took a hammer, waved his
hands in the air, uttering some mystic
. words, and hit the vessel a hard blow
which broke it inpieces, when out step-
ped the boy we had seen—or thought.
we had seen—cremated as bright as
you please. I should be ;lad to see the
trick exposed, but have never seen any
one who could explain it satisfactorily.
Some aver that the old fakir concealed
the young man about his own person;
``- but that was simply impossible, as I
felt of the fakir myself, and he had
nothing on but a shirt, open behind,
and a pair of trousers."
