The great fencing master of Paris, Vig eaut, of Paris, narrates this extraordinary incident in a recently published work, the hero of the story, Jean-Louis, being a French mulatto: In 1S14 .lean-Louis had not yet left the i' army; he had taken part in more thai r. thirty battli s or engagements in Egypt, Italy, Prussia and Hussia. It is in Spain that we tind him during that disastrous year of 1^14; which witnessed the supreme effort of Napoleon against the in RSvasion of Europe. The Thirty-second regiment formed pari EBgF of the third division of the army.and had just arrived at Madrid by terrible forced * marches. It wns no longer a question ol . - conquest, but of falling back upon Fraue< as speedily as possible. Scarcely had the regiment been able tc obtain a few hours rest at Madrid, thai several non-commissioned officers and soldiers of that regiment?true zouaves ol the epoch?scattered through the various quarters of the city, upon what in troop ers' language they call la nocc "a spree.' Unfortunately the fun was soon spoiled by one of those soldiers' quarrels, which occur only too often in an army composed of the most heteroditic elements. It must be remembered that as soon as Napoleon I. added a new kingdom to his conouests. his first care was to incorpor ate into bis army the armies of the nation he had vanquished. Thus it came tc pass that for five or six years. Italians, Dutch, Saxons, Bavarians, not to mention our traditional friends the Poles, took part on the side of France in the great battles of the empire. So long as the star of the conqueror continued tc shifce, these armed hosts which Napoleon urged before him accepted theii condition of subjection; hut from the - day the star l>e<ran to pale, each only thought of shaking off the yoke of the terrible master who obliged Europe to conquer itself with its own weapons. The defections of 1S13?Lutzen, Bautzen, Leipsic especially?indicated that the prestige of the compicrer was being gradually entombed beneath the snows of Russia. All Germany commenced to turn against those Fiench regiments of which she had been the auxiliary. The Italians incorporated into our army were almost the only ones v ho remained faithful to our fortunes. But if, even in the hours followinL' victory, certain violent animosities had never ceased to exist between regiments so incongruous both b_v nationality and temperament, it ma\ readily be imagined how such ill-feeling would develop on the day when serious reverses had robbed our eagles of theii aureole of invincibility. The Third division of the army ol Spain, which included the Thirty-second regiment, of which Jean-Louis was t member,also included the First regiment. Now this was composed almost exclusive ly of Italians, incorporated voluntarily 01 forcibly into the imperial military system, Some of them had also started throtigl: the city to seek amusement and wine, Suddenly the noi e of a viol nt quarre cached a posada in which the Frenct were singing merrily. These instanth ceased their fun. and listened: * 4t It is those rascals of Italians. Ha they are fighting with our men!'' The noise redoubled. Soon was heard the clash of steel, a tumult of table; overturned, yells of fury, and ferocious shouts of? ' Rally here. Frenchman!7' "Death to the Francesi!" In the twinkling of an eye the French rush into the street, run to the scene of the fight and shout to all comrades to follow. But other Italians drinking in other posadas have also heard the appeal of their comrades, and hurry to succor them. In a few minutes more than a hundred men of the Thirty-second regiment arc fighting with as many men of the First. It is a regular pitched battle; blood flows, heaps of wounded are lying upon the pavement, and only tnc arrival of two companies with fixed bayonets stops a struggle which is degenerating into a butchery. The leaders are arrested; and the military chiefs immedintely hold council. This time, beyond all question, a severe example must be made; otherwise discipline will be altogether destroyed. Soldiers, oblivious of the uniform they wear, have attacked each other. Finally it is unani mously decided by the eouueil that the feneimj-masters and provosts of the two guilty regiments shall answer all responsibility for the quarrel, and shall honorably fight it out in duels until it shall be u?cided impossible to continue the combat. Fifteeu swordsmen are selected upon either side. Jean-Louis is the first fencing master ol the Thirty-second regiment. The first fencing master of the first regiment in Giacomo Ferrari?a man nearly six feet high, active and incontestable' brave. He has practiced the science of arms from his infancy, in that Italian school still so celebrated. Before entering the army Giacomo Ferrari had even opened a fencing school in Florence, which hid won foi him a reputation that extended to the furtherest parts of the peninsula. It is with this redoubtable adversary that Jean-Louis will have to measure himself Since the famous combat of the Thirty, I do not hesitate to affirm that military history.never offered the spectacle of a more terrible encounter than that of those soldiers, all skilled in the exercise of their art.?all habituated to look death in the face without winking?all resolved to sustain the honor of their regiments to the la?t gasp. Imagine a whole army all drawn up in battle array upon one of those plains without the walls of Madrid! In the center of this solemn marshalling of soldiers under the dark blue sky of Nueve Castilla, a large empty space has been reserved. P'or this spare choice has been made of a slight elevation of the ground, forming a sort of natural platform which dominates the scene?so that when, in a little while, the selected combatants shall take their places naked to the waist, with drawn swords, there will not be a single spectator of the tragedy among all these impulsive soldiers drawn up in line ?of all the .Madrid populace that pant with excitement as at the outset of a I mil-tight ?who will lose a single detail of the comhat which is going to take place. It is in the presence of ten thousand witnesses that the honor of the army is to he washed in the blood of those thirty brave men. There is a roll of drums. Sonorous and brief words of command arc given. , Simultaneosly the butts of ait tnose muskets descend upon the firmsoil.makiri" it quiver as with a vibration of thunder. The men suddenly appear upon the empty space of the little mound; the)' take their places with a quick and confident step. One of these two men, tail and strong, with black eyes and scornful mouth, gazed around him at the feverishly curious crowd with an air of haughty confidencc?it is Giacomo Fer* rari." The second, also tall, very swarthy; with muscles that seem like bands of dark steel, remained perfectly motionless, waiting?it is Jean-Louis. The seconds of both combatants take their respective places. A silence as of death has suddenly succeeded to the murmur of curiosity which had circulated like the moaning of the wind before a storm. And in the midst of that silence, suddenly bursts forth '> . these two words, heard by ten thousand spectators: "Engarde!'' The two fencing-masters cross swords. '* From the first instant Giacomo Ferrari seeks to make a deadly thrust at JeanLouis, but in vain?his sword perpetually encounters the immovable blade of his adversary. He'retires a step and resigns-himself to more patient mancnuvres. He caresses, he teases the sword. Calm and watchful, Jean-Louis lends himself to all his adversary's flourishes. Suddenly the Italian utters one of those f|roars peculiar to swordsmen of his race, and makes a sudden leafl to one side, followed by a lightning upward thrust. It is an old Florentine trick that t has often done him good service. But almost at the same instant a cry of anger, rather than of puin. escapes the lips of > Giacomo Farrari; with unparalleled rapidity Jean-Louis has parried the thrust, and his own blade, after lapping v abouthis adversary's to preseut another s'v Jange, suddenly abandons its apparent purpose, and delivers a "swift riposte, 1 burying itself in the Italian's shoulder. "It is nothing." says Giacomo, recovering himself with difficulty. Again the sworrts cross: but almost immediately the Italian feels himself struck in the breast. This time it is the sword of Jean-Louis which attacks; and it has entered deeply. A livid pallor suddenly overspreads the face of Giacomo; his sword slips from his grasp, and he falls heavily to the ground. They rush to his side. He is dead. Jean-Louis has already resumed his first position, lie wipes his sword, and holding the point downward, waits. The first fencing master of the first regiment has been carried off dead: but nothing has been decided. Fourteen "'? o.lvnr^'irl/ia fi-nr-incr masters iltld Illuiv . V . provosts, are standing at the foot of the mound, impatient to measure themselves with the victor, and eager also to avenge the death of that chief whom they had believed invincible. Jean-Louis has scarcely taken two min utes rest. He is again ready; a new adversary leaps to meet him; their swords ' cross. A sinister clash, a cry, a gasp; Jean-Louis has delivered his thrust, and recovers himself holding his sword point 1 downward. A second corpse is L iiui before him. The third adversary pre| sents himself. The judges of the com' bat are actually compelled to interfere in order to prevent him from rushing recklessly at Jean-Louis, who with an eye .1 ??m\v cnror ofliimself than before I ?and without thinkingof rest, is equally . ready to meet him. . "1 am not at all tired," he simply re1 marked. The signal is given. The Italian is a very tall man, like the fi st fencing mas' ter whose corpse lies beyond, with a mili| tary cloak thrown over it. He has at' tentively watched the sword-play of the | mulatto; he thinks that he has surprised ' his secret. He multiplies leaps, feints, surprises. Finally, crouching almost to . the very ground, like a tiger preparing to spring, he delivers a terrible upward 1 thrust at the mulatto. But the blade of ' Jean Louis, after i lightning parry, buries itself in the Italian's breast. ' The latter is borne away insensible. ' Shall I follow the details of all these epical duels? No. Let it suffice for me to 1 remind the re ader that what I am now > incf.iw-?th'it T nm wining is aiiiiiuun^ insu'i i ??? inventing nothing?that this encounter 1 is recorded in the official bulletin of the army?and that I have a.so obtained the evidence of witnesses who heard the narrative from the lips of Jean-Louis in 1 person. So much said, I will conclude the narrative in as few words as possible. Ten new adversaries succeeded the first three?all experienced prevots d'armesof established reputation. All these ten fell before Jean-Louis. The thirteenth was ' carried away senseless, in the midst of a clamor that sounded like a vast clamor of I terror. * r rvF with. 1 .'YiLcr mis sulwoiuu w nvw,^., out ])rocedcnt in the history of the duel, 1 one might readily suppose the French ! master was wearied out. In that unheard-of contest, which, timed by the watch, had Listed scarcely forty minutes, Jean-Louis had delivered twenty-seven sword thrusts, of which three were in- j staneously fatal. There were only two j of his adversaries left out of the fifteen ' who had been at the outset so anxious to measure themselves with him. Assuredly, ,those two men were not a whit less > brave than those who had gone before j them, but however strong human wills may be, how could their courage fail to be shaken by the successive shock of so many poignant emotions! Nevertheless ' neither of them showed any signs of the 1 despair which must have invaded their hearts. Pale, but resolute, they remained erect, shuddering, but ready to advance to tneir iate. A sort of momentary truce had re1 suited from that moment of terror for one side, of proud enthusiasm for the ' other. The colonel, an old soldier 1 bronzed by twenty-five years of campaigns. now deemed that the terrible but , necessary lesson had produced the effect desired. It was now possible, without the least blemish to military honor, to ' check the reparation exacted at its thir teenth victim. ' The colonel went up to Jean-Louis, who, in his bronze immobility, seemed like some antique 9tatue of Fear. "Master." he said, "you have valiant! ly sustained the honor of the regiment. In the name of the whole Thirty-third, I thank you! But thirteen successive 1 duels must have almost snapped your muscles asunder. Withdraw now!?if vour fellow fencing-masters choose to i l ii... ...:a | 11111811 Ulf IJUUllTdl tMUl IJUV ivuiutu ; ing adversaries, they cr.n do so."' Jean-Louis' anger exploded?as though the colonel's words contained the intimation of a doubt -or as though he felt a bitter pleasure in giving voice to the | overfulness of emotion which oppressed him. ' No!" he shouted?"no! I will not abandon the post assigned to me by the confidence of the Thirty-second regiment; I will stay right here; and I will fight just as long as I can hold a sword!'' In uttering these woris, Jean-Louis made an energetic gesture. In the over exerted condition of his nerves, he had not noticed that the circle nf spectators, encouraged by the colonel's intervention, was closing in about him. In gesturing his sword described a swift half circle, s!i*rhtlv wounding one of his comrades in the leg. Jean-Louis observed the accident before the wonnded man had even time to utter a complaint; his feverish ardor instantly left him. lie sprang to his j friend; ana tears were seen m rne eyes , of the mun who, without regret or weakness, had just shed the blood of thirteen adversaries. "Ah!'' he cried?"only one man of the Thirty-second has been wounded today, and that wound was given by me!'' The colonel took advantage of the incident to terminate the encounter. "Jean-Louis," he said?"that is a warning! Enough blood has been shed. All have acted like brave men?will you not take my word lor it as a judge of military honor?" "Why, colonel?" "Weil. I declare that honor has been fully satisfied: and that only one thing remains for the Thirty-second to donamely, to shake hands loyally with the lirst." An enthusiastic cheer arose. Only the two remaining provosts of the First regiment remained motionless and silent. The colonel, pointing to them, said to Jean: "You know they cannot be the first to come to you."' Jean Louis felt himself conquered. He threw down his sword, and advancing to the two provosts, held out his hand to them. ' " Vive Jean-Louis !?vivo Thirty-second !" shouted ten thousand voices. ' Vive le First n*?iinent!"' cried Jean- i Louis?"we are all of one family. Vive | Fanned" It was the signal of reconciliation?a reconciliation tl.at was sincere and complete. In a moment both friends and adversaries had gathered about JeanLouis, to compliment him, to dispute the honor of pressing his hand. Much affected, the fem-inir-ma^ter tore himself away with difficulty, by reminding them that it was his duty to look alter 1 the wounded. This mark of sympathy won all hearts to him. From that ! moment all ill-fealing between the two ' regiments ceased; and the treaty of peace was celebrated the same evening with many bumpeis of Xeres wine. Thus ended this duel, or rather duelbrelan, which realized in the nineteenth century the legends of ancient chivalry. Rough on the Cat.

A traiTED STATES MARSHAL'S ALLEGED DISCOVESY. A ."Wau Who Can be Flattened Out liike a Pancake and Kollcd up Liko Wall Paper. Your correspondent was introduced to Isaac Arbucklc. a member of a United Cfrtfoo morclxil'a nncsiP \V hicb had iust returned from a raid in search of moon shine whisky manufacturers in the mountains of Eastern Kentucky, says a letter from Lexington, Ivy., to the Cincinnati Tiinex-Stur. Arbuckle, when interrogated, stated that he had made a discovery while prowling anions the mountains down below Barbourvillc that he felt sure would be of interest to newspaper readers. IIi< story, in his own words, was as follows: "Two days after leaving Barbourvilla I spent the night at the cabin of a poor farmer among the hills, and during a sori:il fainilv conversation, in which 1 par ticipated, after supper, some one incidentally spoke'of Hector Davis, 'the man without bones.' I immediately asked what was meant by the expression, when my host explained that Hector Davis was one of their 'neighbors,' living some three miles further on among the mountains, and that he actually had not a bone in his body. As I expressed some skepticism, he volunteered to show me over to Hector's the next morning. We knocked at the door of the Davis cabin about nine o'clock the next day, and the first thing that struck my attention upon entering was a middle-aired man sitting bolt upright. and supported bv a rude and peculiarly-shaped frame-work. "He was introduced tome as Hector Davis. I at once entered into conversation with him, and discovered him to be a man of fair intelligence, and eager to tell all about himself, in a voice that was as strong as my own. I grasped his hand upon first entering, but his fingers all rolled together like a cabbage leaf in a mushy sort of a way that*made me glad - . : ? ,.r a..?. * T?L-;,wr nf Ins 10 It*I go Ul lin in. iuiw>.^ ... limbs, they yielded to the pressure until they were flattened out to twice their proper width. The only indication of bone was in his skull, which, while pliable almost as shoe-leather, still offered a kind of protection to the poor fellow's brain. ' His neck was as limber as a dishcloth, and when his head was released from its support, which was something in the shape of a similar contrivance used in photograph galleries, it rolled helplessly about on his shoulders like a football. 11 is arms drooped at his sides, but with the aid of the muscle he was enabled to partly raise the forearm, although the hand curled over limply and gave the whole a sort of zigzag shape. He shuffled off his slipper, and retjnested me to step on his foot. I did so, and it at once spread itself out until it looked no Sf O v.iilrAnfl trnin llllfl lMSSed OVtT it. "a " - I It slowly resumed its natural shape, but it was fully half an hour before lie was able to get the foot in his slipper again. "Perhaps you would like to tie my leg in a knot?v he suggested. '*1 found no difficulty in performing this feat, while my friend accomplished the same with the oilier leg: and after we had also tie I koots in both his arms, he presented a very knotty problem indeed, and one that would have set a proessional contortionist crazy. "When he had unraveled all the knots and straightened his limbs again, he requested us to lift him gently from his frame-work and place him upon the floor. This we found noeasy task, for his body slipped about in our arms like an eel, and it was only by securing a firm grip upon his clothing that we managed to keep him from falling. AVe finally succeeded in straightening him out upon the floor, and then my friend, who seemed to thoroughly understand the boneless man's programme, seized a barrel standing ne.ir, and which I afterward learned contained turnips, and swiftly upending it, at once proceeded to roll it over the prostrate Davis, from his toes up to hi, chin, and back again to his toes. ''The only manifestation of pain he made was when kthe barrel passed over his heart and lungs; but it left him in a horrible shape. I can only describe it by comparing it to that of a man made of mud and then thrown up and flattened against a wall. But I had no time to contemplate his flatness, as he almost immediately called to us in a rather weak voice to ;rcll him up.' This we proceeded to do by doubling his head over his chest, and then continuing to 'roll him up1 as you would a carpet, until we came to his feet, and he formed a perfect cylinder about as large around as a half-barrel. A voice feebly piped from the center of the cylinder for us to unroll him, and we soon had him once more spread out over the floor. "While his body was resuming its former shape I learned from his old, spectacled mother, who had sat during all these proceedings knitting in her rocking chair, that Hector, who was forty years old. had always en joyd excellent health and provided well fur her until the beginning of his peculiar affliction two years ago. lie first observed a softening of the bones of the tovs and this rapidly spread to all parts of his anatomy, although, beyond making him helpless, he never experienced any incon venienee from it. All his vital organs performed their functions properly, and she believed he would live to a good old a?e. She had a younger son. then in the field at work, who assisted her in handling him, and altogether they got along quite comfortably. She did not know what the doctors might think of neotor, as sue nau 1101 seen ?i uucun uj? in them thai- hills for nigh onto twenty years. After my friend and I had replaced the boneless man in his framework. we bade him good-bye and came away.'' The Water Lily's Story. "When I first opened my eyes to the daylight I was in a lovely place. My home was a beautiful pond, whose waters were so clear they reilected the blue sky and fleecy clouds overhead, and where everything was still and calm and tjuiet: I was surrounded by fair companions each as lovely as myself. We grew fairer and sweeter every day, and we thought ourselves better than the common flowers that grew on the farther side of the pond, the Daisies, the Blue Violets, Adders' Tongues, that queer fellow, Jack in the Pulpit, and the Wild Rose, who was so rude if any one touched her. Were we not tall and slender, fair and sweet of face, and did not our green dresses become our fair complexions wonderfully? Were we not admired by every one who saw us; and more tiian all, did not our mirror, the pond, tell us we were beautiful every time we glanced in it? Yesterday there came to our pleasant home a gay pleasure-boat with a party of ladies and gentleman; the ladies all exclaimed, as unnn oj viiw UU "(ill llOWCVVPCt how lovely!" and one, whose face was like an angel's, reached over and took me and several of my companion* into the boat with them. The other ladies gathered some of my fair sisters, and we were all earned away to our new and separate homes. Tin* lady that 1 and my sisters were with took us to a grand house on a hill, where we were again admired and our fragrance inhaled, and at night I shone like a star iu the raven braids of my new mistress's hair in a ballroom. Her lover's hand placed me there, and as he did so, he bent and whispered something in her ear, and then kissed the rosy lips that looked so tempting. The warm bloom rose to her check, and I thought I never had beheld anything so beautiful. I missed my old.home and my pretty mates, but I felt sure I had fallen into good hands, iind I felt proud in having so beautiful a mistress, and beingso admired. When my mistresscamc home and looked in the mirror she saw my drooping head, for the heat in the hall-room had made me taint and languid. She took me from her hair, and said tenderly, as she held me in her hand. ''Poor wilted lily, I'm sorry you faded so soon." Then she put me in a vase of water, which refreshed and strengthened me. and this morning when she looked at me my white petals were open once more, which made her exclaim: "Ah, my pretty lily, you are alive yet, ain't you. But I have lost, some of iny fragrance, and I know that before the sun sets 1 shall be dead, for the life of a lily is very frail. They say this is a cold \unrlrl lmt. "mv linns have fallen in nleas ant places," and I am sure that when I am dead, and all my beauty and fragrance gone forever, ray sweet mistress will not throw me into the street to be trampled in the mud, but will lay me carefully away in remembrance of the night when her lover whispered sweet, tender words as he placed me in her shining braids of hair.?Floral World.

Although the aurora generally appears at a height of 100 kilometres or more above the surface of the earth, I)r. Sophus Tromholt says it is very possible that the phenomenon may be witnessed very much nearer. There are observers who aver that they have seen the aurora below the clouds, in front of icebergs, mountains. and coasts, and even on the very ground, but Dr. Tromholt has never observed a fragment of an aurora either in front of or below the clouds. It is said that an electric hand lamp has been invented, the illuminating principle of whicii is generated by some simple chemicals that are ridiculously cheap and easily manipulated. A little sliding drawer at the bottom oi tiie lamp holds the electric spark in solution, while by simply touching a button, a magnificent light is developed or extinguished, as the ease may be. This lamp does not specially differ in appearance from the ordinary kerosene affair, and ?an be used in the same way, but with a complete absence of trouble, odor or danger. It is ascertained from experience that it is always best to boil lamp chimneys and chinawarc and ordinary glassware be fore using them. The glass is greatly toughened by the process, and the boil ing of cinnaware prevents n jrum suwcquent cracking. Lamp chimneys and shades which are stained may be thoroughly cleaned by boiling them in soda water, using ordinary washing soda. The glass or china should be put in enough cold water to cover the articles, with a cloth or board in the bottom, and brought gently to the boiling point, when it may lioil from one to six hours, according to convenience. Kairwan Dwellings. In an article entitled il Kairwan, the Iloly City of Tunis," a writer in Hurler's Magazine says: The architectural disposition of nearly all the houses in Kairwan is the same: a square block, in the middle of which is a square court. The door is low.strengthc-ned by nails, and furnished with large bolts; it only opens half-way with a terrible grating. The rooms are arranged around the court, which, as well as the terraced roofs, slants in order to tacmtatc the running of the water into a cistern. They drink only rain-water; the water of the wells contains much magnesia, but serves for all household mirposes. The living-room of the family serves at once for reception, dining and bed room; it is the only one decently furnished and clean. It is in the shape of a Latin cross, taking away the foot, and forms, in fact, three distinct compartments separated by curtains. To the right and left arc the beds; in front, low divans furnished with cushions; the wall are hung with variegated carpets, or ornamented with encaustic faicncc to thp height of a man. The ceiling is made of young olive trunks placed transversely upon the walls, which explains the narrowness of the rooms and the absence of large square ones. In the dwellings of the rich the paved lloor is covered with matting and carpeting, the ceiling is covered with a paneling of wood decor. ni.olu.Mnne onH litflc UlCU VYlLil " iiiaucotjuucf u?v? ....... shelves are hung here and there. Sometimes fantastic animals, painted in red with a liieratical rigidity and bare barisin. relieve the bareness of the whitewashed walls. During the hot hours of thsiesta. the door, carefully shut, preserves in the interior an agreeable freshness. A little window furnished with glass gives a discreet light, which leaves all the objects in a shadow-like obscurity pro'pitions to nonchalant reverie. The other rooms serve as stable and kitchen. There are no cellars, but in the pavement of the lloor of the court and rooms one notices large square llag-stones, the situation of the silos?a kind of great hole, with careful mason work, where the pro I vision of grain is kept for the. whole | year. These houses, veritable gynecffia,sneitei tlie women, whose husbands are arbitrary and jealous masters, aud seclude them from all contact with the outer wor.d. To enter here is an especial favor reserved for the physician and the marabout. Fortunately for me, I had brought a traveling case of medicine,and the vciy first days I had to attend several^ieigh1 bors. I had regular patients, and my reputation extended itself little bv little. This character of physician,the best passport in Arabian countries, allowed me to see and observe closely many things which, without it, fanaticism would have hidden inexorably from Christian eyes. Inappropriately Named. The way the Australians have of calling things by inapuropriate names is inconvenient, says a correspondent of the Philadelphia TIhuh. Their "bear'' is no bear, their ''whiting" (fish) is no whiting, their "cherry" is no cherry, their "flyingfox" only a big bat. It used to be proverbially reported that "Australia is a place where the oysters grow on trees, the fences are made ol mahogany, unci cherries grow with their stones outside." There is "no real mahogany in the country, so far as I can learn, except it has been imported; the so-called cherry is a kind of cypress*and the only truth about the oyster is that about some harbor oysters covering everything close to the water, including occasionally the roots and fallen trunks of trees. (Miserable little bits of oysters, of which it would take a dozen to (ill a tablespoon.) More wonderful is the little "hand-fish," which climbs up on the beach sand, props itself 011 its finhands and looks at one pertly as a sparrow. The "Tasmanian devil" is a good deal of humbug too. At Auckland I heard him described as fierce, untamable, dangerous; at Sydney (his bones only are found in New South Wales) he was fierce, but not often met with in Tasmania; at Melbourne he sank to an "ugly little beast;"' in Tasmania it is discovered that the poor little nocturnal creature is rare and timid. There is one creature of whose alleged habits I had heard with some skepticism?the ground parrot of New Zealand. On inquiry I found the worst reports about it confirmed. This parrot builds its nest on the ground, and. since the introduc: lion of sheep, lias been buiidingit chiefly of wool. To obtain this it perches on a i sheep's back. For some time the worst that was feared from this parrot was such 1 thefts of the golden fleece, but for some ! years now it has taken to tearing through J the sheep's back and dragging out the I liver, which it devours, it has become ! a pest in New Zealand since this rapid ; evolution in Knglish civilization. It is a I large parrot,but 1 do not think it pretty; j its breast is the color of iron rust. ? Australia's ltahbit Feat. j Tilt; rabbit, savs an English paper, is j probably the most productive of the l whole rodent genus; a single pair may I be answerable for a population of half a | million within five years. Originally naj fives of .Spain, the rabbits once rani- ; I tip.ied in that country, as well ns in I | some of the islands of the Mediterra- ' nean, in such an alarming manner that the people appealed for military aid to assist in their destruction.

The dingo, or native dog, is destructive only to sheep, while the wildcat, though pretty common in some parts, is not generally prevalent. When, therefore, the rabbit was first landed in Australia the land was all before him where to choose. Iu the official Sydney market rate for January, 1873,. the price of rabbits was quoted at from 2s. (id. to 4s. each, retail. Five or six years later they were looked upon as aggress:vo and destructive vermin, and j had so rapidly overrun large tracts of land as to become quite a scare to the squatters. To-day every phase of the Australian rabbit plague is not onlv regarded as of vital interest by the colonists. but is a subject of curiosity and discussion throughout the civilized I world. r FIRE FROM THE ROCKS.: THE FAMOUS LTTVTOOTTS BTOZTS OP SALT LAKE. A Yankee'* Trick iti India?Phonphorcfli ent Diamonds and Rain ? Heat Developing: Light. '' Here's something rather remarkable," said h mineralogist to a Philadelphia Time* writer, handing out a pieco of stone that was of a light gray color and seemed to possess no particular interest. "Just step in this dark room, and now rub the stone on the wall." The writer did so, and a streak of red light was the result. "Phosphorescence?" queried the somewhat startled observer. " Xo.

Some time ago some laborers were digging out the foundation of a house when they came upon a ledge of this rock that was so soft that it was found not necessary to blast. The contract for building called for the completion at a certain time, and so a gang of men worked all night by an electric light, but the first man that struck his pick into the rock dropped it and rushed out of the excavation in such a manner that the others, demoralized also, left, and when the boss demanded the reason the man said thathc had seen a spirit, or had struck the evil regions, for as soon as he touched the rock a stream of red fire came out. The overseer of course doubted the story, but jumping in he struck a blow with a bar that went far toward coroborating the other's story, as no sooner did the iron touch the rock than a flash of red light ensued that lasted several minutes, finally, slowly dying away. It was found that the slightest touch or scratch produced the same result: in fact, the rock was phosphorescent. A simple scratch on this, you see, Ton^no ,1 lirrVit tVinf will Inst two or three seconds. It is limestone, indeed almost pure carbonate of lime with a few impurities. Examining it under the glass it is found to be loose grained, so that it really appears like a sandstone. "You know," he continued, "there are some objects that, only show their luminons ]>roperties on exposure to heat. Subject this to heat and it will glow for three or four minutes with a rich, red light, and then die away entirely. A piece was recently exhibited before the Philadelphia academy of sciences and the members made the interesting discovery that in their collection was another specimen of a similar limestone, but from Knngberry, India. A gentleman who had visited the locality to!d me a curious story in this connection. It sceni9 that several years ago a genuine Yankee from Vermont found himself in Calcutta with less than enonch money to buy hifh a dinner and his sole property an electric battery. He had been a little of everything in his time, but had devoted most of his energies to collecting minerals and curiosities of all kinds, and when he found himself in the lurch, as it were,he determined upon starting through the country and trusting to luck, lie was very successful at sleight of hand and easily made his expenses. In several months he found himself at the locality before named, and in prowling around discovered the luminous limestone by accident. With mother wit he determined to take advantage of it, and in a day or so the little village in which he was staying was nm 01 ruiuura n> mc effect that a wonderful wizard was among them who was enabled to work marvelous cures by drawing fire from the rocks and Imparting it to the patient. "In the meantime the American had erected a hut near the ledge of rock and was visited by hundreds, and rigged up with a curious costume he carried on a business for some time that made the native cure-alls wild with envy. Ilis method was to take a number of persons into the hut, and with his finger-nails, that were sharpened for the purpose, scrape down the side of the limestone that left marks of lurid flame, of course astonishing to behold; then joining hands with several and having the battery concealed he gave them a shock that they thought came from the rock. No doubt it did them some good, and for a long time he did a thriving business, until final I v a rival anneared in the field, and he was obliged to leave the place. "The subject of the phosphorescence of inorganic matter is of great interest, and experiments arc being made in many laboratories. Curiously enough," said the mineralogist, ''many of the discoveries that have been made regarding organic phosphorescence have been the results of efforts to manufacture gold. You see that is worth the labor of the chemist. It has hardly been done, though I know a man who claims to have discovered the proccss and expects to flood the market?so the first success-perpetual motion machine will probably be made of this manufactured metal. "One of the first experimentalists in the gold-making line was Yincenzo Castinola, a shoemaker, of IJologna. in the sixteenth century. He was a famous chemist of the time, working alternately at his shoes and his drugs and bottles. The real reason, however, for his investi gations was to find out the secret of goldmaking, and one night, in walking in the country, he stumbled over a stone that was so extremely heavy in comparison to others that he took it home and. beginning his experiments, discovered phosphorescence, which he considered the clement of gold. Not being able, however, to get the gold out he took it to another noted chemist and for many years it was the subject of innumerable experiments and attempts to obtain-the gold, as the stone had the then remarkable faculty of shining in the d; rk with a golden gleam after it had been exposed to the rays of the sun. The stone is now well known as barvtine. that is nhos phorescent after insolation. The curious mineral is still sold in Kolomna as the Bologna stone and explained as solar light. "The discovery thai diamonds are phosphorescent was made in 11(5:} by Hobert Uoylc and created a great sensation. A diamond was shown that looked like a burning coal in a perfectly dark room. An old chemist of Hamburg while trying to manufacture a gold fluid made accidentally a subs.ance that shone in ' the dark, and in a delirium of delight lie went to the chemist, John George II. of Saxony, thinking that he had discovered the golden secret. He took care, however, not to inform anyone how it was made. Another chemist hearing of the discovery traveled a Ions distance for these times and succeeded in buying the secret for about $200 of our money. But his experiments were not successful, the material being merely phosphorous that was discovered iu this way. Later, in 1GU3, a diflerent phosphorescence was discovered by calciming nitrate of lime, and others soon followed, until now hundreds of different methods of its manufacture are known. "Heat in some mysterious way de- | velops light in certain minerals; thus el dspar, lime, sulphuret of calcium, dia monds, etc., when heated to a certain degree give out a soft, phosphorescent gleam over their rntire surface. In fact, j the luminous property is possessed by i everything?plants, insects, minerals, and even the very air often shows re- | markablc exhibitions. Some years ago I 1 was traveling on horseback at niglu near Trenton, New Jersey, when a sudden j rain-storm came up unci in a minuie 1 ?as completely surrounded in a blaze of light. You would have thought the liquid tire was bcinir poured over me. The trees, rocks and road gleamed in the sa ne mysterious way?in fact, if I had been in- j clined to superstition 1 should have j thought that my day had come. It soon ! disappeared and was merely phosphorescent ruin, the cause of which I knew not." Coats of Arm*. In olden times people of distinction had coats of arms,us they are called: and in England the nobility have them on their furniture, couches, silver, etc. This is the way they came in use. As the poor people did not know how to read, il... I ,1 1 1..,., till! IUIU.-5 UHU.

Then it seems that the | same ligure was embroidered on the out- j side garments, so that the common | soldier would know where he met a per* j son of superior rank. Sometimes these > figures recalled some Rotable event in j the fortunes of the family; the spider, which Robert Bruce watched mending its web in the cave while he was hiding from his enemies, was placed in the royal arms after he became king of Scotland. In order to show that they have had brave, courageous or loyal ancestors, tiieir descendants keep up the practice of wearing coats of arms; they value j them verv highly. ?Sc/iohir'a Companion j * Mr.*.

He informs his readers that, however a few w polite and Europeanized Americans may salute one another, the characteristic b national salutation is "Hello!" The Arabs say, on meeting, "A fine f, morning to you!" The Turk says, with dignified gravity, t. 'God grant you His blessing!" The Persian salutation is familiar to all the world from its comic quaint ness, "May your shadow never grow less!" f The Egyptian is a practical man. lie has to earn his taxes by toil under a b burning sun, and accordingly when he c meets his fellow, he asks.

"How are you digesting?" he kindly inquires, on meeting a friend. The Greeks, who are keen men of r business, close bargainers, ask one * another, "How arc you getting on?" The national salutation of Naples was ' formerly, "Grow in grace!" At pres- * cnt. in all parts of Italy, they use a phrase equivalent to saying, "How arc you?" ? The Spaniards say, "How arc vou passing it?" " s The French, "How do you carrv your- 1 self?" The Germans, "How does it go?" ?

The American in Italy is surprised to see men embrace and kiss each other, as in Bible lands. The Italians in turn look upon our hand-shaking as cold and ridiculous, the bobbing up and down of the arm having no meaning whatever in their view. The touching ot the tips of gloved fingers, if more graceful than handshaking, must also seem to people of the East as professional and expressionless. The bow, as a mark of respect, is a custom used by nearly all nations nnd one that had its origin in ancient times. ? Youth'a Companion. 1 A Use for Dead Languages. 1 The following by J. T. Trowbridge, in Sf. Nicholts, is a clear and simple explanation of the reasons for giving to llowers and trce9, beast9, birds and fishes, the long and, to many, unintelligible Greek and Latin names they all bear: 'But I can't see the U9e of giving Latin and Greek names to birds nna things, nowadays," said Gasper. "Perhaps I can explain it to you,'' said the master. "Take the picus aurutus, for instance. We have seen that it has several common names; one of which, certainly, belongs to another bird. So if a person speaks of a yellow-hammer, how are you to know whether he means this or the European species? In ordinary conversation you may think that is not very important; but in all scientific descriptions, it is necessary that such names shall be used as can not be misunderstood." "But why can't men of science agree upon English names?" the boy inquired. ' That is a sensible question. The answer to it is that all men of science are not English-speaking people. There are German, French. Spaniih, Swedish, Dutch, Russian ornithologists, and those of many other countries. Now, it is true, they might all agree upon an Kngliclt nnmo fr>r rwh bird: but it WOllld be us unreasonable for us to expect that of foreigners, as we would consider it, if we were all required to learn a French or a Dutch name. It really seems much simpler and more convenient to use Latin and Greek names, which learned men in all countries agree upon and understand; so that a German man of science will know just what a Spanish man of science is writing about, if he uses correct scientific terms. Now, take the case of this very bird. A Swedish naturalist named Linnteus, who was a great botanist, and classified and gave scientific names to plants, also gave names to many birds? to this species. I suppose, among others; so that when picus auratus is ailuded to by any writer in any language, ornithologists know just what bird is meant. So, you see, these scientific teims that you dislike form a sort of universal language understood by men of science the world over.'' Captain Kid. Ivid was the son of an old privateer in the West Indies, and being known as a brave seaman, was recommended by Lord Bellamont, then governor of Barbadoes, and several other persons, to the home government, as one admirably fitted to command a king's ship cruising against pirates, on account of his knowledge of those seas and practices in warfare. The project met with no favor in England, and would have fallen through altogether had not Lord Bcllamont and his friends fitted out the Adventure galley at their own private charge. Kid was put in command, and furnished with the king's commission, charging him to hunt down pirates, all and sundry, especially Thomas Too, and other9 specified by name. lie also held a commission of reprisals, for it was then war times, empowering him to take. French merchant ships in case he should meet any. The Adventure galley sailed from Plymouth in May, 10%.carrying thirty guns and eighty men; and, after scouring the North and South Atlantic, tried the Indian ocean, picking up a French merchantman or two; but ot pirates never a one. At last, the patience of Kid, who appears to have meant well originally, wore out; his crew turned mutinous.nnd lie became, according to his defense, a pirate malgre lui. After a lucky cruise lie sailed for this city, thinking his offense would be winked at, but was im mediately seized here, with all his books I ' and papers, sent liome for trial, and I hanged at Execution Dock, with six of , his associates. His career proved an ex- , ccption to the rule that it is well to set a thief to catch a thief.?Keio York Nac*. Could See Well With Tliem.

Big things are not often useful or profitable. Bulky, unwieldly property that a person can do nothing with, is very forcibly characterized by the phrase, ' fie has an elephant on his hands." Many great works of human skill and boldness, however, that are too big to be profitable, are not too big to be useful, and the following pertinent remarks of the liailway Age are rather suggestive than otherwise: Whether the great bridge between New York and Brooklyn will pay even a low rate of interest on its cost, beside the large sum which will be required each year for repairs,is not at all certain. It seems as if there was a limit in size for structures of all kinds, which is not profitable to over-pass. The Great Eastern steamship, while it was in many respects a mechanical success, was, on the whole, a great failure. Locomotives beyond a certain weight are not profitable. The wide gauge for railways has been abandoned, because the narrower one was found to be best adapted to all the conditions involved. The use of driving wheels of very large diameter on passenger locomotives was continued for only a comparatively short time. Nature herself, while she may produce the immense, does not obtain from it her eflective uses.
