That a hter-kIng, an swering itn some respects to the de scriptions in British ballads, had ex- r istence. Is possible, for It setts un- o likely that so many associations should b clingl around an utterly mythical tper- t sonagte. Yet he has no mention what ever in the Saxon Chronicle, whose page are rich in allusions to British kina:s struggling for freedom against a the Anglo-Saxon invaders: and our anin authority on the subject Is the aec(ouint weltten. six oenturi-e later than the reputed period of King Ar thur, by Geoffry of Monmtouth, whose narratives no one can' accept seriously as truth. The legends, collected and handed dowT to us by Sir ''hotnas Malory, a t'riter of Edward IV's reign, were printed by Caxton under the title of "Morte d'Arthur." When Ilenry II, In 1177, was in Waales, receiving the submission of the princes, he chanced to hear the deeds of Klag Arthur sung by the Welsh. and was told the exact place of the hero's burial at Glastonhury. Some years afterward the abbot of Glaston bury, the king's nephew. searched for the body, with what result let Giraid.is ('ami:rensls, described in Camlen's "Britannia" as "an eye witness," tell us: "At the depth of seven feet a huge, broad stone, whereon a leaden cross was fastened on the part that Iay downward, in rude and barbarous let ters, this inscription in Latin was written upon that side of the lead that was toward the stone, 'Ilere lies buried King Arthur in Avalon Isle.' Digging deeper they discovered his body in the trunk of a tree, the hones of grent bigness. Ills Queen Guini vere, a lady of passing beauty, lay by him, whose tresses of hair, in color like gold, seemed iperfect an'd whole until it was touchted, but then showed itself to he htst." When Glastonbury abbey was ande a ruin in Henry VIii's time the re - mains of King Arthur and his queen twere ruthlessly swept away. It was on ndbury hill, In Somerset. the famed Camelot of the Arthurian ro mance, that the British king pro e pared for his great stand against the Anglo-Saxon foe; and the name of Arthur still clings to the locality in "Arthur's Lane" and "Arthur's We ll." a- In the battle, almost the only event of his life to be regarded as historlcal fact. Arthur seems to have come out of the darkness by which he is sur rounded. The Welsh songs are full of praises to his valor in the fight with Cedric, the Saxon king; "The Paxon Chronicle," unwilling, perhaps. to record a severe defeat, is silent upon the subject, but the result for a time. was a crushing blow to the invaders, and Cedric was never able to push his - way into Somerset.-I -ndon Tele graph.

A London correspondent, remarks ie Montgomery (Ala.) Advertiser, iscovers a rollicking satire upon peo le of the day, that is of those of ut i1 'ho gravely shake our heads as we I ontemplate the manners and dress ' f maby young folk of the day. The rrespondent finds that in the Satur ay Review of fifty years ago the fol. )wing article was printed. "The girl of the period is a creature -ho dyes her hair and paints her face s the first articles of her personal eligion-a creature whose sole idea f life is fun, whose sole aim is un ounded luxury, and whose dress is he chief object of such thought and ntellect as she possesses. Her main ndeavor is to outlive her neighbors n the extravagance of fashion. If a ensible fashion lifts the gown out of he mud she raises hers. "All mien whose opinion is worth inving prefer the simple and genuine ir of the past, with her tender little vays and pretty bashful modesties, to his loud and rampant modernization, vith her false red hair and painted ;kin, talking slang as glibly as a man intl by preference leading the con "ersation to doubtful subject * * * All we can do, is to wait patiently until the national madness has passed out and women have come back again to the old English idea." Not a few writers and private talk ers have said things to the same effect as the foregoing. We hear it every day and hearing it we may accept it as a scathing indictment of the new girl, just as our forbears accepted the foregoing article as a just Indictment of the girls of a half century ago. Headstrong, forward and disobedi ent young people were known long before the time of the Review's edi torinal. Readers of the "Last Days of Pompeli," may recall the lamentations of a chief character that young peo. ple of his time were not as reverent and respectful in the presence of their elders as they had been in a former generation. Neither were they as re ligious. Certain it is that the Apostle Paul. in writing those epistolary messages thought it pertinent and timely to re mind women not to he too forward in church. As it appeared to him it was necessary for him, as an authority. to repress women, warning them specific ally against bobbing their hair. It seems that the race has always stopped to ask now and then: "What has become of the old-fashioned girl who," etc. Qe Soto's Route. Council Bend, Miss., has taken from Memphis, Tenn., tpe honor of being the point at which De Soto first saw the mighty Mississippi. Dr. J. C. Row laud of Jackson, Miss., who has traced De Soto's route clear across Mississippi, guided by the narratives of De Soto's companions. in which the topography of the country was fully described, has located the great In dian mound at which the adventurous explorer and his followers camped the night before they saw the Fa ther of Waters. On this, the highest Indian mound in Mississippi, a monu ment will be erected to De Soto. Doctor Rowland is convinced that De Soto first beheld the great river at CouncIl Bend. The explorer-'s fa mous trip from the point where Tampa, Fla., is now located, was mamde in 1541, 24 years before St. Augustine was founded, and 75 be forec the Mayflowver completed its first voyage.
