The road now turned down into the river bed, and, picking his way the best he could, my horse cheerfully jogged on his homeward path.

Occasionally the track led through clamps of river-oak saplings and bushes, emerging from which 1 could discover a bare patch of sand, and beyond that shadow. . My horse knew the road, however, and I cared not Half niy time was spent in similar lonely rides, and I was not ner--vious. I was getting mightily hungry, however, besides which the mailman was expected at the station. I longed to read my home letters. jay horse's shoes clattered against the stones as I stuck my spurs into his sides to urge him on - wdV' . : ,:ia A sndden turning ia the road showed me a number of :, small fires glowing ahead. But that they were stationary I should have been inclined to think them caused by fire-flies. On my left there were more. The sudden turning of the river had placed some ia front and some behind, and hitherto the thick groves of flooded oak. had hidden them from my sight. On my right frowned an over hanging crag. I drew my rein. Perhaps (for blacks often chatter loudly in their camps) they had not heard me. I lis tened. Not a sound, save the rushing, Tumbling river current', It was, after all, perhaps, only the remains of a bash lire. Some of the logs were still alight, and the night air fanned the embers into glow. Again I listened intently. If blacks really were ia the camp they must Lave heard me coming ; no doubt they Lad barred the way ahead and behind. The broken river channel forbade my trusting to flight .What should I do ? Not three miles away lay poor Donnelly, their victim, in his - cold grave of wet ttand. What was hie fate then might be mine in a few minutes, I determined to keep still, and wait fur what might tarn Up. ; . J.'"'-.':- Presently I heard bushes rustling some distance behind, and the voice of a black fellow uttering, in the strange tone iu which the wild savag) first pronounces English words, "Boodgeree, and again, "Boodgeree, white fellow," (good, good white fellow). The sound startled me. I drew my pistol. Some of them should have daylight through them, I inwardly vowed, it it cams to a final struggle. 2ow I heard their low, rapid utterances, iu various excited tones, iu front, be hind and above me the words " white fellow being repeated often. Escape was hopeless. There was one chanoe for life in the inconsistency of their behavior. I determined to put a beld on the matter, appear at home, laugh and talk with them, and if the worst came, sell my life as dearly as possible. Accordingly I shouted, "Hey i Come on Boodergee you, my boys, oome along!" and a great deal more nonsensical talk, which they could sot have understood, but which served as well as anything else to ahow them the aonfidence I tried to gull them into believing I yet possessed. The . effect was magical. .. A simultaneous shout came from those nearest All around in fifty different places as many vVvuB 8ryatuto an unintelligible jargon, ; wVile from tfiecamo the noise of wo men's voices cdald be heard as they shrilly inquired what was going on and tendered advice or admonition. Knowing howuseless it was to do any thing else I sat still on my horse, and in a few minutes was surrounded by a dense crowd of dark, savage-eyed wild men, all fully armed with native weap ons, juore kept coming. There was a perfect Babel of sounds. The gloom was so great that I could only distinguish the dark, moving figures and long spears, or occasionally the glint of a pair of fierce, glittering eyes shinning out of a paint-bedaubed visage. - Now they felt me all over. On feeling the pistol, which I had returned to my belt, the man who discovered it said something to the others, who became still more excited. ihey now led me, still sitting on my none, across the ford of the river to their camp. And now, for the first time, . I could see the faces of mv captors : anc wild and devil-like they looked as their ' fires threw their light across them. Thick mantes of cuxlv block hair, low fore Leads, short noses, large white teeth, and short beards on the upper lip and cum, seemed to strike me most : their eyes gieameu in me nre-oiaze uae Burning coals. A tall man, looking at me earn estly for some minutes, now commenced an animated harangue ; pointed to me several times, then pointing up the nver, imitated the sound of a gun being fired. pointed to himself, and then finished by addressing me rapidly at great length from his manner I guessed he was friendly to me for some cause or other. why I c?n'l not make out. but I deter mined to take advantage of the turn in my favor. My tall friend now made signs that I should dismount : this I did at once. I had made up my mind to trust my protector implicitly , and at any rate not to ahow fear. 1 was by no means easy however, aa my sable mend led me through the scattered fires, surrounded by a number of blacks, who so. far as I could guess, seemed to coincide with his views concerning me. " Most of the mob had idepaited to the fires which appeared behind me when I first came upon the natives.- I found that there were two camps at a distance of about 200 yards apart, and xay people belonged to the small camp "We arrived at a fire which, from the signs made, I found was owned by the . tail fellow with me. He made a series cf gestures, by which X understood him to intimate that I was to partake of his hospitality. The only word of English he knew was "white fellow." This he epeated several times. Sometimes he pointed to me, then to himself, patted his breast and smiled : then he would point to the distant camp, and shake his head and frown. Sometimes he pointed Seh;m8eU, imitated the sound ol a shot, rmiutSiTSOJbe river, then again to me. lookina- aaxrerlv at me to see whether I comprehended aim or not. ' I knew not what he meant, but I feigned to under stand him, and nodded, smiled, patted Mm. and repeated the word "boodgeree" two or three times. He at onoe caught in the word and pronounced it distinct ly and seemed much pleased. Things sow seemed ou a much more satisfactory footing. Mr entertainer produced some black-lookiEg kangaroo met, which he warmed en the hot ashes ; then tearing off a niece with his strong teeth, be of fered it to me. Knowing how necessary it was to keep up the terms of friendship, . I accepted it cordially, ana, tnongu almost sick, managed to eat a portion of the dirty-looking food. A drink of honey and water was now offered me in a ooole- man. which I also politely accepted. After the repast a number of the abo riginals from the neighboring fires gath ered around me, ana irom uieir language seemed to be making fun of me. One tallow especially' seemed a great wit. The Blighest word of his sufficed to set tha others in a roar oi laughter, a tin it all seemed to be of a good humored . presently my tall acquaintance, ic'-tiCS ovar to the other oamp, made signs that there was a corroborree to be danced. I understood and nodded. Then he gave me to understand that he and I would go together. To this I also as sented, Soon after this came a long, clear ' cry from the other camp like pir-r-r-r-r. . A general movement now toot place among the men and women of the camp in which I was. They gathered in a body, each one covered from head to foot in a 'possum-skin cloak. I arose with my host, who bestowed on me a cloak, and we took onr places a little on one side of the rest. Another signal arose from the distant camp, and, as if in obedience to it, my neighbors corn commenced to march slowly forward to ward whence the sound proceeded. Slow ly, silently, solemnly they marched, their bodies bent almost double, whose position my friend signed me to observe. There was something very unearthly in the phantom-like procession. The dusky, indistinct, muffled forms glided noise lessly forward through i the midnight woods, sometimes entirely lost in the shade of a large tree, and again emerg ing, to be lost again. Fears began to take possession of mc. Why was this singular method of approaching the cor , roborree ground observed ? I had heard of ceremonies of a dark and secret char acter being practiced among those tribes at which no white man was ever present. Was such a one now to take place? My rilrwvl ViAO-n.n tn p.nrilla and my fiesh to crceP 1 thong" ol nying, ir?erang for the moment the utter impossibility of o . -- : - . 1 getting away from the nimble-footed, sharp-eyed savages. My tall friend, however, seemed to divine my intentions, for he patted my breast, .then pointed to himself assuringly, then'- to the large camp of natives which we wore nearing, and shook his head, spitting witn appar ent disgust, and once more patted him self and me. X could not exactly tell what he was driving at, but it seemed to indicate fribndly intentions toward my self, and the other camp was occupied by a hostile tribe. This I afterward learned was the case. We hod approached with' toward whioh we had been making our way, when a similar signal to that already given was uttered by some one in the other camp. upon mis my com panions, still retaining their Dent posi tions, turned their faces toward their own camp, and remained waiting, and of course I followed their example. - An other cry succeeded, and amost immedi ately a bright fire followed, illuminating the dark woods in a ruddy circle. Fling ing off their coverings and turning sim ultaneously round, the crowd" of blacks about me gave vent to a general "Ah!" of wonder and surprise, not unmixed with a superstitious fear. .. I understood it now. ' The tribe were being initiated iu a corroborree they had never seen before. "At the same time it commenced. A half-circle of fires burned brightly in front of us. Between us and the fires were seated " rows, of women, across whose knees were stretched lightly their 'possum cloaks. Ihey held boomerangs in their hands, which they beat together as they sang, keeping uie most exact time, occasionally i varying the accompaniment by beating! on the skins, producing a drum-like sound. On the far side of the fire a row of forked stakes had been driven into the ground, and poles laid on the forks about six ' feet above the- ground. About twenty savages, pointed in the most grotesque fashion, were seated ail along this rail. Their long hair was tied tightly in a knot on the top of their heads, from the middle ot wnicn rose a tuft of cockatoo crests, i no son white down from the breasts of the same bird clung to their eyebrows, mous taches and beards. A red hllet passed around the forehead and .encircled the head. Their bodies were painted with pipeclay to imitate skeletons. Boomer angs, stone tomahawks ana Knives nung from their girdles. . Holding their el bows close to tbeir sides, they moved their forearms and hands in a segment j of a circle from their waist to their ea)rs, first the right, then the left, in time to the barbarous chant Beyond those, the chief figures in the assembly, stood a dense crowd of fierce-eyed sable warri ors, leaning on their spears. Lodkihg around I found the men of mv party had assumed the same attitude, while the women had taken a position a little apart. In spite of the feeling of insecurity-'-for I knew that all present would think nothing of knocking me on the head if the whim seized them I felt rather amused at the absurd , climax of thpir preparations, and its "monotony soon ikot tiresome to themselves. Jumping down from their perch, the painted savages cleared away their ' posts and rails and commenced one of the usual corroborree dances of the country, in which tl were joined by nfsny others, ' who taken no part in the first performance Mv tall friend, spreading his rug on the ground, planted a spear at each cor ner and sat down motioning me' to take a place besides him all the others fol lowed his example. The dance was most vigorously piosecnted, and it carried with it a certain amount of dramatic effect. Issuing from the dark back ground of solemn gloom, the mass of vague dusky shadows danced tbeir way into the circle illuminated by the fire, their bands held in front of tliiir breasts after the manner of the kangaroos, their bodies bent and their feet stamping. As they got near the fires, which divided them from the orchestra, the singiifgafad dancing became more energetic, till at last a brilliant blaze having .been pro duced by means of dry leaves kept on purpose, the whole culminated iu much stamping, quivering of legs,, and shak ing of heads, winding up with on almost instantaneous disappearance ! of the whole party into the surrounding dark ness. This was repeated for bourn, And I thought they never would leave off. At last all seemed to weary, and my tall friend and his followers returned to their own ground, taking me with them. Here I found my horse ready. ; After a good deal more of talk and many gestures he signified . that I might go. I stripped myself almost naked in making presents. Then seizing his weapons he called on a friend to accompany him, and both came with me as an escort. I had little diffi culty in pursuading them to proceed all the way, and they -were so much pleased with their treatment that tliey asked permission to bring their tribe in, which they did, and we had no more difficulties afterwards. "That was a capital fellow, that long nigger," said Fitzgerald. "Did you ever find out why he took a fancy to you?" "Oh, that was all a mistake on his part. It seems that when up the river in pur suit of the trite which killed poor Don nelly, he happened to be among the tribe we attacked. He had hidden him self under a log I had taken my posi tion on. He said I had kept looking at him and allowed him to escape, and it was in gratitude for this supposed ser vice that be bad saved my life. ' "Then you did not know that he was under the log?" asked John. "Not I. It would, I Am afraid, have been a bad day for us both had I." A timorous lady in Providence, who is always looking under the bed tor a man, went to the post office the Other day with a friend to buy somo postage stamps. As they stood there one of them noticed a man standing close by, but she didn't think he looked suspicious until afterward. She ordered what stamps she wanted, and, taking her pocket book lrom a chateiaiue by her side, she paid for them and stepped to the opposite desk to attach them to let ters. In a moment more she went back in a very excited manner and inquired for "that man who stood here." He had gone. "Well," said she, "he has taken my . pocket-book and all there is in it," and she pointed ruefully to the open, empty chatelaine. "How much money was there in it?" asked tho clerk. Sho was too excited to tell, or for some reason didn't wish to do so. . "What's that in your hand?" inquired the clerk. Looking at tha ! hand desig. nated, she replied, "Oh, my, that's it." The motto of Dr. Tanner ia: "When you get a good thing holdfast." A Russiaa Despot 200 Tears Ago. But the commands of this slightly ' vexatious despot (Ivan) seemed at times to have puzzled his most faithful com missioners, for on one occasion, having sent for - a nobleman of Casan, called Piesheave (which is, being interpreted, Bald) , the Vayod, mistaking the name of the word, sent for 150 bald-pated old men. More than eighty or ninety, how ever, he could not get together; so he sent them up speedily to the palace with an apology that he regretted he . could find no more in his province, and de sired pardon for the short measure. The Emperor, astonished at the sight of so many old bald-headed pates, devoutly crossed himself. At last one of the chief men delivered the letter, and the Diack showed His Majesty the copy of the letter he had sent to the Vayod, and the mistake being found out, the bald pates were made drunk for three days and sent home again. On one occasion Ivan Yasiloidg nailed a French Ambassabor's hat to his head for presuming not to uncover in the Im perial presence. Sir Jerome Boze, the English Ambassador, coming shortly afterward, nothing daunted by the tale of his unfortunate friend, put on his hat and cocked it right jauntily before the Emperor, who sternly demanded how he dared so to insult him, having heard how he had chastised 'the Frenchman. Sir Jerome was a match for the Emperor, and replied that he (the Frenchman) had only represented a cowardly King of Fiance, "but I," said he, "am the Am bassador of the invincible Queen of England, who does not veil her bonnet nor bare her head to any prince living, and if any of her mini-ters receive affront, she is able to revenge her own quarrel." "Look you there," quoth Ivan Vasiloidg to his attendant Boyars, "there is a brave, indeed, that dares do and say thus much for bis mistress; which booby of you dare so much for me, your master?" ihis made tuem envy ir jerume, bo a wild horse to tame, which he did, and so successful he broke and tired him out that the horse fell down dead under him: and upon this asked his Majesty if he had any more horses to tame. Our friend adds that attar tnia tne emperor much honored and loved "such a daring fellow as he was, and a mad blade to boot." "The "Love me. love my dog" prin ciple seems to have something to do with this, if we may believe that our his torian relates, that this queer tyrant actually courted the Virgin Queen with a view to matrimony, and once, upon a suspicion of treasou, fortified Vologda, and gathered all his treasure there, with the intent of escaping to Lngland upon extremity. II we may believe the following story. the ancient family of Sopotski owed its wealth and - position to the following quaint fancy: When Ivan went througn the country he was in the habit of accepting presents from tho poor and rich. There hap pened one day to be in his route a good honest boHk-ahoemaker, who made shoes of bask for a copeck a pair, but when the Emperor came he was quite at a loss what to give. His wife, a woman of ready wit and reserve, suggested a pair of sopkyes, or bask shoes. "There is no rarity," quoth the man; "but we have a huge turnip in the garden; we'll give him that and a pair of sopkyes, too.' Great was his success; the Emperor was delighted, and made all his followers bnp sopkyes at five shillings a pair, and wore a pair himself. So began the wheql of. good fortune to turn for the aopotskies, for he soon drove a thriving trade, and left a great estate behind him. And in memory of this gallant it is the custom of the Russians to throw all their old sopkyes into a tree which stood by the house. There was a gentleman, however, hard by, who, seeing the turnip so graciously accepted and generously rewarded, bethought him of a like suo cess, and offered the Emperor a brave horse. But the Emperor, seeing through his motive, gave him nothing in return but the aforesaid great and mighty turnip, for which as seems not im probable he was both abashed and laughed at. Ivan following the habits of so many Eastern despots, delighted to go about in disguise, and test and witness the feelings of the people toward strangers generally and the Imperial person in particular. - . Ohe night, in disguise, he sought a lodging in m village near the city of Mos cow, but in vain, for no one would let him in; but at last one poor fellow, whose wife was momentarily expecting to become a joyful mother, opened his door and admitted the apparently ex hausted beggar. In the course of the night the child was born, and the vagrant getting himself; gone, told the man he would bring hjm some god-fathers next day. Accordingly, the next day the Em peror and many of his nobles 'came and presented the poor fellow with a hand some largess and set fire and burnt up all the other houses, in the village, play fully exhorting the inhabitants to char ity and the entertainment of strangers, and that it were good for them to try how excellent it was to be put out of doors on a cold winter night It was his custom to assooiate with thieves and robbers in disguise. Once he went so far as to recommend them to rob the Imperial Exchequer, "for," said he, "I know the way to it." But upon this, in a moment ono of the fellows up with his fist and struck him a hearty good blow on the face, saying, "Thou rogue t Wilt thou offer "to rob his Majesty, who is so good to us ? Let us go and rob some rich Boyar who has cozoned his Majesty of vaxt sums." Ivan was mightily pleased with this fellow, and at. parting changed caps with him, bidding him meet him next morning in the Dravetz, a place in the Court where the Emperor was accustomed to pass t, "And there," said he, "will I bring thee a good cup of aqua vitte and bread." The next morning the thief was there, and being discovered by his Majesty was called up, admonished to steal no more, preferred to high dignity about the Court,, and appointed Chief Commis sioner of the Detective force. What a Prisoner Made. . . Solitude seems to be the mother of in genuity and invention as the proverb says necessity is. Most penitentiaries em ploy their prisoners in steady work, and wisely, too, for few confined men would make so good use of lonely cell life as the convict here mentioned did of his scant play time. There is at present confined in the Maine State Prison, at Thomastown, a young French Canadian, who is incarcer ated for the murder of a woman. Dur ing his leisure hours, with nothing but a pocket and shoe knife, a file and whet stone, this prisoner has manufactured a clock which keeps accurate time, and which is a great mechanical curiosity. It has a rooster on the top who flaps his wings on the hour being reached. There are also figures showing the day of the week and month. Underneath is a glass case, three feet high, and two feet wide, containing two hundred and forty five figures of men, birds and animals, etc. These objects go through various performances, as small springs are touched, and a musio-box plays tunes at the same. A mouse is made to run out from its hiding-plaoe, and is quickly caught by a cat. A beggar approaches a man for money, is impudent, and after a tnssel is knocked down. A snake glides stealthily over the floor, and at the door a sentinel stands with a small tin cup in his hand, who takes off his hat and politely bows when coin is dropped into his cup. Among the ob jects are full companies of infantry and cavalry, which come out and go through the manual of arms very finely. The clock is exhibited by the prisoner while n his cell, and many are the odd dimes he receives from visitors. . The Portland (Me.) Transcript, after relating the above, says: At the present time another convict in the same institu tion is making a very handsome doll house, with four rooms, the furniture all being in miniature style. One set is trimmed with red satin, and another with blue. It is intended as a present for the lady who has played the prison chapel organ for several years. . i . Romance.'"' Among the various royal and semi royal houses which figure year by year in the pages of the "Almanac de Gotna" are those of Anhalt Dessau of Hesse-Hom-burg, though they have both of them been lately swallowed up, .thanks to Prinoe Bismarck, in the new German Empire, It will be remembered by onr readers that the Langravine Louise of Anhalt-Dessau, widow of the Langrave i Gustav. some time reigning Prinoe of ! Hesse-Homburg, and sister-in-law of his successor, the Langrave Ferdinand, died in the summer of 1858, at the age of nearly sixty years, attheSchlossof Hom burg, near Frankfort-on-the-Main. And as some of the details of her early are so romantic that they would seem to belong to the realms of fiction rather than those of reality, I will give here a short sketch of her life, presuming only that the facts advanced are not imaginary, but literally and strictly happened as they are told in these columns. The Princess Louise Frederica, daugh ter of the hereditary Prince of Anhalt Dessau, was born on March 1, 1798, and was little more than a child, certainly not "out of her teens," when the Prinoe Ferdinand above mentioned, happening to pay a visit to her father's court, was struck with her extreme beauty and fell violently in love with her. Unfortunate ly, however, he was not an elder son, and the young lady had even before this though unknown to himself been prom ised in marriage to Ferdinand's elder brother, Prince Gustav; and, although the ardent lover tried every means of changing this prior engagement to an ar rangement in his own favor, he was not able to persuade the young lady's parents or to gain his end. A lingering illness, during which Prince Ferdinand's reason was for some time despaired of, was the immediate consequence of the marriage of the Princess, which was solemnized on the 13th of February, 1813. At last he recovered from the shock, and reason having returned, he entered the army of his fatherland, and both on other battle fields and also at Waterloo, threw him self into the thickest of the fray, as if he wished to rid himself of the burden of life. But death as often happens in such cases did not come at the moment when he was wanted. At all events, he did not take a fancy to his voluntary, or rather would-be victim ; and so the Prinee returned home from his campaigns un hurt in body, and probably better in mind also. In order to while away the time which hung heavy on his hands, he now set out on a long course of travels, during which he visited almost all of the Courts of Europe, and not a few of Asia also, and did not return to Homburg un til the death of his brother had already called him to the throne. This happened at the end of 1848. Prince Ferdinand was now sixty -five; the Princess Louise, his brother's widow, had seen her fiftieth birthday, and was the mother of married daugh ters, who, of course, were his own noices. Nevertheless, though so many years had passed by since ho had first sought her youthful affections, she was still the beloved of his heart; though it was, of course, impossible for him to ob tain the conseni el the Uhnrcu, or, per haps, of the State either, to a marriage within the prohibited degrees. Accord ingly he resolved to lay down a most ex traordinary line of conduct for himself. He was naturally reluctant, for her sake and for the avoidance of scandal, to live under the same roof with his early love; but, as there was only one royal resi dence within his small dominions, he saw himself obliged, very soon after his accession, to install himself aa inmate of the Palace of Hamburg on the moun tains. There he lived henceforth in the strictest possible retirement, inhabiting only a few rooms in one wing of the building, and leaving the rest of the pal ace to his widowed sister-in-law. Long ranges of apartments separated their suites of rooms, and during the week the two royal personages never set eyes on each other, but every succeeding Sunday was a fete day to Prince Ferdiuand, for upon that day he would regularly tra verse, along with his cmrtiers, the emtpy saloons which separated him from his beloved Princess, and would enter most soberly and solemnly, yet with glowing eyes and a beating heart, the boudoir of his old love, and respeotfully kiss her hand. After conversing with her for about an hour seldom much more or much less he would take up his hat, and solemnly, and with al most gloom on his countenanoe, retrace his steps to his own lonely apartments. Tho faithful subjects of the Landgrave so well knew the mood of the Prince, and so thoroughly respected his feelings, that they seldom hauded him any pe titions except on the morning of Sunday, when his face was always radiant with joy, and he would have a smile, and al most a welcome, even for beggars. The Princess died, as already stated, in the year 1858; and from that time down to the day of his death the poor Landgrave remained inconsolable. At all events, he became thenceforth a com plete hermit, and lived in the strictest seclusion, wandering by day and night through the chambers of his lonely pal ace. An English traveler who visited the neighborhood of Hesse-Homburg in 1859 or 1860, writes thus concerning him: "His subjects, as well as the numerous tourists, chiefly Englishmen, who every year visit the baths of Homburg, never get sight of him who formerly was so admirable; and he is supposed to be de termined to end his days in a small pri vate chapel, before a statue of Princess Louise, his old never-forgotten lady love." It only remains to add that the Landgrave Ferdinand died on the eve of our Ladyday, in 18C6, and that he was the last of his royal race: His small ter ritory was in the same year incorporated with Prussia, and now forms a portion of the Empire of Germany. But for the war it would have fallen to Hesse-Darmstadt. The Queen. Sight In the Moon. At last, however, night sets in. Grate fully it comes in after the sun has gath ered up his smiting rays and gone down to his rest. All at once we are plunged into comparative obscurity, for again there is no twilight to stay the steps of departing day. At oue stride comes the dark. But, looking up into the sky, we behold a vast orb, which pours down a milder and more beneficial splendor than the great lord of the system. It is such a moon as we terrestrials cannot boast; for it is not less than thirteen times as large and luminous as our own. There it hangs in the firmament, without ap parent change of place, as if "fixed in its everlasting seat.'1 But not without change of surface. For this great globe is a painted panorama, and, turning round majestically on its axis, presents its oceans and continents ia grand suc cession. As Europe and Africa, locking the Mediterranean in their embrace, roll away to the right, the stormy Atlantic offers its view, thon the two Americas with their huge forests and vast prairies, pass under inspection. Then the grand basin of the Pacific, lit up with island fires, meets the gazer's eye, and as this glides over the scene, the Eastern rim of Asia, the upper portion of Australia, sail into sight The Indian ocean, and after wards the Arabian Sea, spread them selves out in their subdued splendor, and thus in four and twenty hours, "the great rotundity we thread" turns its pictured countenance to the moon, and grandly repays the listening lunarians by repeating, to the best of its ability, the history of its birth. Nor is the sky -less marvelous in another respect. For! the absence of any atmospheric diffusion of light permits the constellations to shine out with a distinctness which is never parallelled on earth. They glitter like diamond points set in a firmament of ebony. Stars and clusters which we never see by the naked eye flock into view, and crown the heavens. British Quarterly. It is a good thing for Noah that he had the only ark afloat in all the universe at the time of the flood. If there has been just one more ark there would have been a collision the third day out, unless things were managed better than they are now. And probably they were not, as it seemed to be considered dangerous to send out more than one ark at a time. Life In Germany, j Of course there is no fire-alarm tele graph. Alarms must be sent to the po lice or to the fire watch in different parts of the city. Fires, however, like every thing else in the country, never seem to be in a hurry to burn, and an American would say that the fire companies were in no hurry to put them out. The en gine is a very primitive affair, mounted on a hand car and drawn by a few men, with as muoh passivity and almost as -much deliberation as if they were going to a funeral. Arriving at the fire, the en gine is lifted from the car, placed on the ground, and worked by hand. Usually it is not much larger than a garden en gine and does not furnish a more power ful stream. I attended with a friend a trial of fire engines iu Jena. We both concluded, in no spirit of exaggeration, that two or three garden engines could be obtained from some of our agricul tural warehouses which would do quite aa much execution as any of the engines we saw. To a New York or Boston fire man the whole exhibition would have ; been a cold water comedy. But if you laugh at the fire department you lapse into instant gravity when a German very properly:; "Our fire-department may not be as good as yours, but still (with a significant shrug of the shoulders) we do not have any Chicago or Boston fires." And it is true; there is creator precau tion taken against fire than with us. The building laws are stringent; houses are built of brick, have immensely thick walls and seem to be practically fire proof. Fires very seldom spread. By ! UBing the pound of prevention the Ger mans are able to get along with the ounce i of cure. With the German fire depart ment in Boston the city would soon be an ash heap, but with the German preven tion and tne American cure it would be invulnerable. " The cheapness of labor in Germany in- duces,prolligacy of time and effort. It usually takes three men to shoe a horse one to bold the animal s bead, another to hold the animal's foot, and the third to put on the animal's shoe. If you wish anything done that one man can do per fectly well, you must pay some other man for looking on. if yon have one or two little carpet bags at a railway station, which you could carry yourself without any effort but a little strength of pride, of the army of porters that ask to relieve you two or three must be satisfied. In Vienna it takes two men and a horse to water the streets. The apparatus seems to have been contrived like some of our public offices at Washington for the sake of giving an extra man employment. One man sits on the box and drives the water wagon: a piece of hose six feet long issues from the other end, with a sprinkler attached to its nozzle, and a man following at a dry distance behind swings the hose back and forth, from side to aside, and effectually clears the street of pedestrians. Another serious indictment is that there is a lack of hitch ing posts. I spent nine months in Leip sic looking for a place to tie a horse, and did not find one. I have never seen a hitching post in Berlin, Munich, Vienna or Dresden. If they are there the authorities have taken great pains to con ceal them. I doubt if there is a real genuine hitching post in all Ger many. The most natural conclusion of the frivolous punster is that there are no fast horses there. But the more exact, if less facetious for the neg lect of hitching posts is that no ono ever thought of them, or, if the idea oc curred, it was probably banished as offering too great a temptation to horse thieves, I remember complaining to a bright and cultivated Saxon lady one day, after riding horseback, that there were no hitching posts in the city. I told her how convenient and pleasant is was in America to find a standing invita tion on the sidewalk whenever you wished to alight. "But don't thieves steal your horses when you leave them tied? she asked in great surprise."" And when I told her that many Of our doc tors ride in buggies and carry a weight to anchor their horses to the curbstone, she was greatly amused and surprised, and in her opinion American honesty went up to par. The fact in, however, that in the present state of German society there is no need of hitch ing posts. Such a thing as a light wagon, or road-wagon or buggy is un known. At least I never saw but one buggy there, and that was in Leipsic, and I was so perfectly confident that it was an American wagon that I walked np to the owner and said, in the best English I could command after a three months' residence in Germany, "Where, if you please, did you get that buggy?" and he told me, in equally good English, that he brought it from America, and that for a long time it had astonished the natives. This' manufacturer, riding about from day to day, might have found a hitching-post very convenient, but in accordance to the prescribed etiquette of the country and the superfluity of labor, he always took a man with him. But why should a man be called upon to do what a stick of wood judiciously placed could do just as well? Rev. S. J. ifar rons in Christian Union. The PiiEASUBES of the Andes. The leaves cut like razors, and their points pierce like needles. The mountains hereabouts are everywhere saturated like sponges, through the incessant rains, and for days we waded rather than walked over them. The puma, tapir, and bears are common around Saranrcu, and their tracks are very numerous. I saw one magnificent bear crashing through the cane as though it quite enjoyed it, and others of my par ty saw tapirs. One morning we found puma tracks round our tent, but we did not see the brute. Wild and savage cat tle are also numerous around Saranrcu, and are sometimes of great size and power. They are escaped cattle or the descendants of escaped cattle, from the farm around Cayambe, and are some times very ferocious. There were two immense bulls that we saw several times, which trotted abent at an amazing pace, and took leaps like chamois. J. A. Carrel was out one day trying to do a little bit of exploration, and was attacked from the rear by these beasts. He was looking over a precipice, peering into the fog, when hearing some noise be hind, he turned round and saw them ap proaching from opposite directions with lowered heads, ready to give him a lift over. He bolted up a little peak, with both close in pursuit, and they kept him a prisoner for, I think, a couple of hours. Whenever he tried to escape they rushed at him, but at last he sueced by a feint in enticing them both to the same side, and scrambled down the other and outwitted them. (E. Whymper's Letter in The Spectator. Thb Hcjias FionBK.rThe proportions of the human figure are six times the length of the feet, whether the form is slender or plump, the rule holds good, and deviation from it is a departure from the highest beauty in proportion. The Greeks make all their statues from this rule. The face, from the highest point of the forehead, where the hair begins, to the chin is one-tenth of the whole stat ure. The hand, from the wrist to the middle finger, is the same. From the top of the ohest to the highest point of the forehead is a seventh. If the face, from the roots of the chin,- be divided into three equal parts, the first division de termines the place where the eyebrows meet, and the second the nostrils. The hight from the feet to the top of the head is the distance from the extremity of the fingers when the arms are extended.'--' - '' : ' - - The tightness of a lady's dress the other day at a garden party won from me such surprise and admira tion that an old dowager, whom I have known since 1 was a child, chided me gently. "But it is most surprising," I maintained ; "how can she get her dress on over over her other things?" "It is not difficult," replied niy interlocutrix. "I hap- Eened to be in the cloak room with er just now; she 1 was , having a stitch put in somewhere, and 1 found that her 'other things' consisted in a tight flannel jersey and a pair of you know." And there, the confi dence ended. .; Suicides In Farts. , The last eight days have been prolific of horrors, among which murder and sui cides are most conspicuous. ' The sui cidally inclined have been more than usu ally ingenious even for Parisians. In the first place we have the tragic story of a corset-maker in the Bne Geneta. The monotony of artificial corsets weighed heavily upon his brain. Whalebones ap peared to him of vanities and stay laces as vexations of the spirit. He therefore purchased a fire-cracker of formidable di mensions, and with an amount of eoulness worthy a better cause placed it in his mouth and endeavored to blow bis head off. But he only succeeded in depriv ing himself of a portion of his skull, and he now lies in the Hotel Dieu, re flecting on his probable return to trade in the detested corsets. On Friday last a woman, also weary of life, mounted into the gallery which enoiroles the in terior of the cupola in the Pantheon, and from this dizy height plunged head foremost down among the worshiping throng before the altar. A woman kneeling near where the poor creature fell and died was severely bruised. On the same day a painter and gilder, after a discussion with his wife in their domicile on the Quai Jemmapes, lost his temper, because he could not bring her to his way of thinking con cerning their money matters, and left her, saying, "I am going to take a bath." He ran and plunged into the canal St. Martin, and striking hid head against a projecting beam ou one of the locks, speedily - found that death which he seemed to desire so earnestly. But the cares of these unfortunate people do not present such interest to the student of pathology as that of Emilo Dumonstier, who on Friday killed a sub-brigadier of police, named Bbxin, in the Uue Mont marte, near the corner of the Kue Abou kir, one of tho most crowded sections of the commercial quarters of Paris. Dn moustier, when first remarked on the day in question, was Walking wildly to and fro, swinging his arms and muttering men aces between his i teeth. He was in rags and covered with dirt, and his feet were bare. Roxin, the police agent, came up to him and was about to order him to move on when Dumouster sprang upon him and buried a long knife in his breast. The unfortunate agent tried to draw his sword, but staggered back and died short ly afterwards. The Knife of the assassin had pierced the ribbon of the military medal with which Boxin was decorated. Dumonstier was arrested after some re sistance. He gave no reason for his crime except that he wished to kill a policeman; he had a vengeance to ex ecute. He is a ragpicker, and a Paris ian de BatignoUes. The miserable mau appears to bo brutalized by a long and constant use of strong drink, and will probably be declared irresponsible, He was a hideous and repulsive object when taken to the depot, after his struggle with the officers who arrested him. It is curious to not that the reac tionist journals with their usual ingenu ity, endeavor to prove that the Republic is responsible for Dumoustier's conduct in creating the festival, at the close of which he signalized himself by so terri ble and unprovoked a deed. The funeral of the unfortunate agent of police on Monday at the Eglise Saint Eustache was celebrated with much ceremoney in the presence of a large attendance. A young man who appears to have occupied a re spectable social position was found hang ing to a tree in the liois de Boulogne on Thursday. On the grass at the foot of the tree lay a letter, stating that since the lady whom he loved had died, life had no further charms for him, and he had de termined to rejoin her in the spirit world. Parisian. Beet Sugar Culture. A number of experiments have been made in this country from time to time in raising beet-root sugar, but generally on a small scale, and without any con tinuous energy. There seems to be no reason why we cannot make any quanti ty of sugar of this kind, and it is not unlikely that we shall yet make it as well and as abundantly as they do in Franoe. The sugar got from beets is similar to that from cane; but it contains much less saccharine matter, the proportion between the two being usually as 10 to 18. About the middle of the last cen tury, Marggraf, a Berlin apothecary, called attention to the sugar contained in the beet; but Achard, the Prussian chem ist, was the first person really successful in extracting it. But as only two or three per cent, of sugar could be ob tained, the process did not pay, until Napoleon I. raised the price and intro duced improved methods. After the downfall of the Emperor protective du ties kept the manufacture alive in France. When manufacturers were enabled to get five pounds of sugar from 100 pounds of beet, the industry revived this was about 1829 in France and Belgium, and extended as far as Russia. It is now largely imported from the Continent, and is mixed by refiners with cane sugar, without which tho best loaf sugar cannot be produced. The imports into Great Britain from the Continent in 1875 amounted to 240,000 tons. In France the increase has been so rapid that in 1872-3 the product reached 418,000 tons. It is estimated that there are now in all countries some 1500 beet-sugar factories. A good yield is 20 tons of root per acre, and one ton of sugar from 12 tons of root The civil war interrupted our manufacturing (begun in 1862), which now promises to be revived. Experi ments of a very promising kind have been making in Maine, and in California the business is carried on with encour aging success. The Wooden Hat. Somewhere about the year 1780 a traveling millwright, footsore with the broadest Northern Doric accent, stopped at Soho, at the engine factory of Boulton & Watt, and asked for work. His aspect was little better than one of beggary and poor looks, and Boulton had bidden him God speed to some other shop, when, as he was turning away sorrow fully, Boulton suddenly called him back. "What kind of a hat's yon ye have on your head, me mon?" "It's just timmer, sir." "Timmer, me mon; let's look at it. Where did you get it?" - "I ust turned it in the lathie." "But it's oval, mon, and the lathie turns things round." "A weel! I just gar'd the lathie gang anither gait, to please me. I'd a lang journey afore me, and I thocht to have a hat to keep out water, and I hadna' muckle siller to spare, and I made me ane." By his inborn mechanism the man had invented an oval lathe and made his hat, and the hat made his fortune. Boulton was not the man to lose so valuable a help, thus the after famous William Mur dock the originator of locomotives and lighting by gas took suit and service under Boulton & Watt, and 1784 made the first vehicle impelled by steam in England, and with the very hands and brain-cunning that had produced the "timmer hat" Americun Machinist. How Ehoush Wombit Dress. It can not be denied that an Englishwoman is the most peculiarly dressed women of the civilized world. One does not need to oome, as I did, with only two days' in terim between the Paris salon, where actresses and grandes dames exhibit dai ly their extravagant toilets, to the Lon don Academy, where British fashion holds carnival, to see this and note the extraordinary difference between the reigning styles of the two capitals. In Paris an Englishwoman is recognized in the twinkling of an eye, as far away as she can be seen, by her radical and es sential difference in dress, not only from the Parisienne, but by reason of her thorough unlikeness, in that respect, to the woman of all other nations. A fer tile source of amusement to Parisiennes is the extraordinary confused and farm less bunch of drapery that an English woman wears in the region of her heels, and that her peculiarly rolling and ener getic ga't so different from the walk of Continental ladies causes toss and wob ble behind her ia the most ungraceful and eccentric manner. Cor. Chicago Inter-Ooean, A Good ,lekM - On one of the" excursion steamboats running from Boston a young man made himself objectionably familiar to a lady whom he supposed to bo alone. For a little while the lady tolerated his atten tions and he was deluded into the idea that he had made a conquest. But his inward sense of victory was of short du ration. She was only waiting for her husband to oome. On his arrival she sig naled him to inform him of what was go ing on. He calmly surveyed the situa tion for a few moments, then made up his mind what to do. Being a somewhat muscular shoe dealer, wearing a No. 11 boot, he quietly slipped in behind the unsuspecting youth and administered to him a powerful kick. This sent the youth bodily upwards to the roof of the cabin in which the ceremony took place and brought his forehead in contact with a piece of timber. The young man had never before dreamed of having auoh a high forehead. When he descended it was amid the mirth of his fellows and with a conspicuous wound which be will probably wear for life. This fellow has no recourse against the large-footed man who had damaged him. He was playing the fool and deserved the punishment he got. Kicking is not exactly sanctioned by law, yet under the circumstances in which the Bostonian husband found him self nobody would say that it was ille gal. The mark on the young gallant's brow will be a jagged, irregular, hiero-glyphical-looking sort of a thing, which, being interpreted, will read: "Served this fellow right." Seven Dollar Journalism. And now the railroad comes along like a giant an aconda, embracing the continent in its coil, and its pondrous machinery breathes the vitality of civilization in sonorous respirations, breaking the silenoe of the desert and awakening the reverberations of the mountains for the first time since the planet commenced its revolutions in the universe. The name of the builder of the Chinese wall is lost in 'the Asian mystery. Eleven acres of solid masonry have not served to preserve the name of the builder of the Pyramids of Ghizeli. They were of no benefit to the human race. But the names of the builders of roads are immortal. The Mongolian shepherd will show you the road which Genghis Kahn made through the Nankon Pass. The Swiss peasant will guide you over the road traversed by Hannibal across the Alps, and the veriest yokel in England, watching his kine over Salis bury plain, from the ruins of Stonhenge, will answer your questions, "Who built that road to the heights of Old Sarum?" "Oaasar." The typical New Zealander in crossing this continent by the Southern Pacifio Railroad a thousand years hence to visit the ruins of London, will stop at the Casa Grande and ask a descendant of the Pima Indians who built the citadel of that name, and the gentle savage will reply, in the soft dialect of his tribe, "piuiae'h" (I don't know) ; but ask him "who built the Southern Railroad," and the child of centuries will answer "Grant." f Tuscan Star. White' Kaalaeaa Cttllece. We would call the attention of our readers to the advertisement in another column of White's Business College (formerly the National) of Portland, Oregon. This institution, established in 1806, and conducted by DeFrance & White, is now owned and managed by Mr. White, so well known throughout the Northwest as an energetic and pains taking educator and an artistic-penman of national reputation. Mr. White has placed this institution upon an entire new footing, having employed a new corps of the most efficient teachers to be found anywhere, and introduced the latest and most thorough methods of drill in business training and the En glish branches. This sohool, as now conducted, is without doubt the fore most one of the Northwest, and merits the patronage of all persons of cither sex desiring a practical, useful, everyday-to-be-used education. noHTKKAL.
