NATIONAL WONDERS.

It is very surprising, that TWO of the greatest natural curiosities in the world, are within the United States, and yet scarcely known to the best informed of our geographers and naturalists. The one q beautiful waterfall, in Franklin county, Georgia; the other stupen- dous precipice in Pendleton district, South-CaroIina. They are both faintly mentioned in the late edition of Morse $ geography, but not as they merit. The ruccoa falls is much higher than the fallsof Niagara. The column of water is propelled beautifully over q perpen
 dicular rock, and when the stream is full, il passes down without being bro. ken. Ali.ihe prsmatic effect, seen al Niagara, illustrates the spray of Tue. coa. The Table mountain IS an awful precipice Of 5000 feet. Many persons reside within five, seven, or ten miles O

rity that have always been deemed in- dispensable to the safe indulgence of the curiosity of the visitors or speeta- tors. Every one, on proceeding to the spot whence it is usual to gaze over the wonderful deep, has in his imagination q limitation graduated by reference 10 distances with which his eye has been familiar. But in moment, eternity, as 1t were, is presented to hls astound- ed senses, and he is instantly overwhelm- cd. His system is no longer subject to l'is volitlon or his reason, and he falls like mass of mere matter. He then reviyes, and in a wild delirium surveys 3 scene, which for while he is unable to defne by description or imitation.
 How strange il is that the Tuccoa fall and Table mountain are not more famil- iafto Americans! Eitheroftilen would distinguish any state or empire in Eu- rope.

SwIss LEGEND OF WILLIAM TELL.- The following extract respecting tho Hero of Switzerland, is taken from . most valuable and excellent work, the History of Switzerland, which forms the 2Oth vol. of Dr. Lardner's CyclopT- dia:
 civilian Tell, who was one of tho sworn at Rath, and noted for his bigh and daring spirit, exposed himself 10 arrest by Gesser'smyrmidons, for pas sing the hat without obeisance. W1is- pers oi conspiracy had already reached the Vogt. and he expected to extract some further evidence from Tell upon the subject. Offended by the mans obstinate silence, he gave loose 10 his tyrannical humor, and knowing that Tell was good archer, commanded him to shoot from distance al an apple on the head of his child. God, says an old chfonfclef, was with him; and the vogt, who had not expected such spe- ein'enofskilland fortune, now cast about for new ways to entrap the object of his malice; and seeing a second arrow in lis iaiser, asked hiin what that was for? Tell replied evasively, that such was the usual practice of archers. Not content with this reply, the Yogt pres sed on him further, and assured him of his life, whatever the arrow might have be en meant for.
 'sVogt,o said Tell, sshad shot my child, the second shaft was for thee; and be sure l should not have missed my mark a second time."
 Transported with rage, not unmixed with terror, Gesler exclaimed, "Tell! l have promised thee life, but thou shalt pass II in dungeon. Accord ingly, he took boat with his captive, intending to transport him across the lake to Kussnacht, in Schwytz, in def- ance of the common right offhe district, which provided that it's natives should not be kept in confinement beyond its borders. A sudden storm on the lake overlook the party, and Gesler was obliged to give orders to loose Tell from his fetters, and commit the helm to his hands, as he was known for skilful steersmans Tell guided the vessel to the foot of the Great Axenberg, where a great ledge of rocks, distinguished 10 this day as Tells platform, presented itself as the only landing place for leagues around. Here he seized his cross bow, and escaped by daring leap, leaving the skiff to wrestle its way in the pillows. The Vogt also es- capped the storm, but only to meet a fate more signal from Tells bow in the nar- row pass near Kussnacht. The tidings of his death not only enhanced the cour- age of the people, but also alarmed the vigilance of the rulers, and greatly in- creased the danger of the conspirators, who kept quiet. These occurrences marked the close of 1907.

HocoMAouFFy, ,oR ANIRIsu PIANO.


 HocoMAcuFFY,o ,oR AN IRIsu PIANO. A sober and industrious Paddy, in the Gallon, has lately invented musical box, for which he deserves a patent. Wishing to enjoy little music on an evening after work, he got box of the general appearance, but deeper and broader than an ordinary piano, and bored row of holes from one end to the other. In this box six or seven swine are placed, (but there may be more) of different ages, from the sucking pig to the gulf boar, exulting in swinehood. In this way scale of voices is obtained. The tails of each inmate are then drawn through the holes in the box and the lid closes, so that half dozen tails hang outside. Whenever Paddy wishes to play, he twitches each tail rapidly and successively, and the music begins, and lasts as long as he likes. When tired, he just liberates the musicians till the next time. The airs are all Irish, and when the twitching is smartly and skill fully done, the music is not a whit be- hind the mixture of bands at the late ss Physical Demonstration. The in slrument is called Hogomaguffy.

 Dear Sir-Soon after the date of my last letter from the mouth of Yellow Stone, l descended the river in a skiH to this place, where 1 have resided about two weeks, a guest in this subterrane- ous clty-the strangest place in the world, where one sees in the most rapid succession, scenes which force him to mlrth-to pity and compassion; 10 ad- miration-to disgust-to fear and asto- nishment. Hereare subjects and scenes worthy of the pens of Irving, CT Cooper; rich m legends and romances which would require no aid of the imagination for picture.
 The Mandans, or (See- -pohs- ka-nuk ka- kee, "people of the pheasants,' as they Call themselves, are perhaps ono of the most ancient tribes of Indians in our country. They take great pride in re. latlng their traditions with regard to their origin-contending that they were the lirst people created onesrth. Their village is undoubtedly of very ancient origin, and from what l could learn of the tra a'itions, they have, at former period, been a very numerous and pow erfal nation; but by the continual wars which have existed between them and their neighbors, they have been reduced to the number of i6 or lS00 souls.
 Their village is situated on the Bank, Tn one of the most beautiful valleys on sle river. The ground on which 1t is built wasadmirably selected fordefence, being on bank forty or fifty feet above the bed of the river. The greater part Of this bank is nearly perpendicular, and of solid rock. The river suddenly changing it's course to right angle, protects two sides of the village, which Is built upon this promontory or angle ]; they have therefore but one side to pro- sect,whichis etfectuaIly done by strong pquet and high ditch inside of it, of three or four feet in depth. They are undoubtedly secure in their village from the attacks of any Indian nation, and have nothing to fear except when they meet their enemies on the prarie.- Their village has E most strange ap- pearance to the eye of stranger their lodges are closely grouped togeth. CT. leaving but just room enongh for walking and riding between them They appear from without to be built entirely of dirt, but one is surprised, when he enters them, to see the neat ness, comfort, and spacious dimensions of thesecarth hcovered dwellings. The, all have circular form, and are iron fifty to sixty feet in diameter. Their roofs are formed of poles of six or eigh inches in diameter, with the butt end il the ground, and placed so thick as t touch each other-the points nearl. meeting ess the sseP, easing pert T r of four or five feet in diameter, answer ing for chimney and sky light at tn sAme time.

MADRIGAL.
From tAe SPANISH

When stars bedeck the azure sky,
And shine the sparkling gems ofnight,
Oh Lady oft wish to sigh,
And wander near thy chamber-light,
Whose faiptly glowing ray discloses
Tho spot where Innocence reposes.
And whom the smiling moon beams play,
In silver radisncs on thy bower,
In loneliness I pensive stray,
To worship there its fairest flower;
And hope so sweet a fose as thee,
May over bloom for one like me.
But still thy image 10 the shrine
Where all my musings fondly dwell;
Yet strange, this waywnrd heart Of mine
To thee can ne'er its failiBgs tell;
And though 'twould dare host in fight
1t ,remblos in Lady's sight.
Then happy be Thy hour Of rest
Though hopeless still my breast must swe
For one, within whose gontle breast
Resides each grace love so we'll
Though, chance, my only doom may bs
To iovo and to despair for thoo.

Her roses wet with dew.

When young Affection owns its power

Bright as the new born gem appears
In Indians rarsst minss!
The hope Of Love oh bs il blsst d!
For Love Of Hope was born
Hope is the dawn Of fpassion chasts,
And Love the risen morn"

When Barney Buntline turned his quid,
And cried to Billy Bowline,

What dangers they are all in -
Al night lie quaking in their beds,
For fear that roots will fall in
Poor creatures, how they envies us.

For our good luck in such storm,
To DO upon The ocean.

On business from their houses,
AZ late at night are walking home,
To cheer their babes and spouses,
While you and !, upon the dock,
Are comfortably lying,
My eyes what tiles and chimney tops.
About their heads are flying
You and !, Bill, have often heard,
How folks are ruined and undone,
BY overturns and carriages,
BY thieves and fires in London
We've heard what risks all landsmen run,
From nob!emen TO tailers,

That you und ! arc sailors.

Habits Of sheep.-They perseveringIy
follow their leader wherever he goes
OF this singular disposition, DR.. Ander-
son says he once witnessed an instance
in the town Of Liverpool. A butchers
boy was driving about twenty fat weth-
ers through the town, but they ran down
a street, along which he did not want
them to 90. He observed u scayenger
with his broom little before and called
out loudly for him to stop the sheep
The man accordingly did what he could
to turn them back, running from side to
side, always opposing himself TO their
passage and brandishing his broom with
great dexterity, but the sheep, much ag-
itated, pressed forward and at last one
OF them came right up TO the man, who,
fearing it was abou. to jump over him,
grasped the short broomstick in both
hands, and held it horizontally above his
head. He stood for few seconds in
this position, when the animal made u
spring, and jumped fairly over him, with
out touching the broom. The first had no
sooner cleared this impediment than an
another followed and another, in such
quick succession. that the man, perfect
ly confounded, seemed to loose all recol-
lection, and stood in the same attitude
till the whole had jumped over him, not
one of them attempting TO pass on either
side, though the street was quite clear.

THINKING ALoUD.--We were much
amused the other day on hearing the
following anecdote and as we never saw
it ;n print, we transcribe t. pro bono pub
Eco. Jour. of Human.
A Distinguished political character in
England, was noted for the habit, while
in company. of repeating his thoughts
aloud. On one occasion, he was visited
by young nobleman, to whom it was
for his interest to be very polite. They
had not, however, many ideas in COM
mon and the statesman soon fell into a
fit Of abstraction /; in the course ofwhich
his unfortunate habit getting the better
of his caution, he unconsciously said.
81 suppose must invite this young pup
py to dinner!" To this unceremonious
avowal of the precise estimati in
which his company was held, the noble
man rejoined in an equally absent man
nsr--pretending that he too was subject
to fits Of abstraction-"Ten 10 one this
old plodder invites me to dinner but it's
a bore, and won't stand it!
