A sndden turning ia the road showed

should have been inclined to think them

were more. The sudden turning of the
river had placed some ia front and some
behind, and hitherto the thick groves of

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

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

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

head and frown. Sometimes he pointed

it was to keep up the terms of friendship,

almost sick, managed to eat a portion of

. 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.

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

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

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

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 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

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.

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

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

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.
