Two lluuilrcd Yr Ago, In St, Nicholns there is mu article on "Thu lircat Ukea" by W. U. liar wood, Mr. Harwood snysi While waiting for my steamer to be carried through canal locks of thu Boo, I stood oue mi miner duy near a hill on which now stunds Port Brady, over looking the rnptds ot the Sou its they flow from Lake Superior dowu into the H. Mary's river and so ou to joiu al lust the waters ot Hurou. On thu top of this hill, as nearly as 1 could decide from tbo topography of the conn try, was wltueased two centuries and a quar ter ago one of the most remarkable, oue tit the most slgulflcaiit, scenes lu the history of the new world. It tius been brillhintly described, and 1 may but mention It On Juno 14, 1671, a strange body of men was assembled ou this hill. It was composed of four classes the oftlolul represeutativrs of the king of Era mm, the Catholic missionaries, the voyageurs aud the ludiana, Weeks before word had been sent out to the chiefs of 14 of the different tribes of ludlaus lu the re gion to meet al tho boo on the data mentioned. Au immense crone of wood was made and carried to the top ot tho hill overlooking the swlfl flowing rnptds A stout timber with au en graved plots ou It was set up Dear the deep hole iu the ground w hich w as to hold the foot o! the crosa. When all hnd assembled, St Luuon, the representative of the king, lifted lu oue band a ulod of earth aud In tbo other his naked sword aud iu the name of his most Christian majeaty tho king of Frame took possession of tbo laud, embracing tu Lis assumption "all tho region from tbs uorth to tho south sea' and extending to the ocean on the wont. " The cross was then raised before tbo motley throng the representatives of the goveruuieiit tu their most gorgnoos suits, tho priests lu their rluh vest nietits, the voyageurs iu their hunting garb of skins, tho ludlaus iu their most fantastlo feathers and paint. As tho cross assnmid position tho priests In toned a stately chant of tbo seventeenth century. Thuu the Ereuch exclaimed "Vive lo roil" while, as oue historian pats it, "tbo ludlaus bowled In con cert." The plate upon the smaller timber bore an engraved Inacrlptlnu denoting tbo king's possession uf the laud. A SCENE IN SALONICA. T1 Jsw aaS JnwN That lababll tbo UMrt of ! Tuwm. In the true ghetto, iu tho noisome heart of tbo town, where the cobbled streets run slimy and the people chaffer with lha butchers for tbo refuse uf tho slaughter house aud chlckeu block, you see the unchanged Jew of the middle agea, Be be bearded graudalro or tiny boy, be wears a long loose gubardluo to bis heels and the fea of his masters. If bo is well to do, the garmeut may bo for bordered or tl may bo of silk, but it could nut more surely bo soiled aud greasy if tbo law required it so. With iiiarriags tbla survivor of the dark ages grows a beard full aud thick and grls tied iu the old men, wiry aud black aud very sparse iu theyouuger beads of fam ilies This is as It is lu East Broad way aud Chicago aud llerliu, but when you look upon the wives aud daughters iu Sulonlco's ghetto you see uiodlrval characters who have staid in the east, bnt seut no representatives abroad. These Jewesses love display aud court aduiirutlou They are uiucb fuirer thau the uivu, milky skinned, with a palo pink flush, as if they were hothouse bred. Tltuir clothes are gay, red, greeu and blue being their favorite colors, mid the married women all wear decol lete Lodicea faidiloiicd very low ill frout aud showing a fum y shirt of embroidery aud luce, which either reveals the mold of their forms or makes slartliug ex posures of the forms themselves. Ihelr chests are always quite bure. This In a luud where the other womeu expose nothing but their eyes is all the mors astouihhing. Ou thuir crowns the Jew ish matrons wear very showy, often beautiful, headdresses, composed of a cap of red, green and yellow silk or cloth, that ia curried dowu the back of tho heud iu a bag that envelops their tresnus. Oftuu these bugs ure finished at the bottom with heavy gold bruid. "Iu tbo Wako of a Wur," by Juliuu Ralph, in Ilurpur's Muguziuo. Equal to lha Oooaaloo.

The countess was equal to the occa sion.
