How THE DEVIL LosT.-We heard few days ago
an old story told that was as good as new and here
is the substance of it. It should be dedicated to de
nquent subscribers. We have a good many friends"
who, we hope, will read it with tears in their eyes
A young man who ardently desired wealth, was
visited by his Satanic majesty, who tempted him to
promise his soul for eternity, if he could be supplied
on this earth with all the money he could use. The
bargain was concluded-the devil was to supply the
money and at last to have the soul, unless the
young man could spend more money than the devil
could furnish. Years passed away, the young man
married, was extravagant in his living, palaces
speculated widely lost and gave away fortunes, and
yet his Golfers were always full. He turned politician
and bribed his way to power and fame without re-
ducing his pile of gold He became filibuster, and
fitted out ships and armies, but his banker honored
all his drafts. He went to St. Paul to live and paid
the unusual rates of interests for all money he could
borrow, but though the devil made wry face when
he came to pay the bills yet they all paid. One
expedient after another taiedhe devil counted the
time-only two years-that he must wait for the
soul, and Knocked the efforts of the desparing man.
One more trial was resolved upon--the started a
newspaper The devil growled at the bills at the end
of the first quarter-was savage in six months-mel-
ancholy in nine and 'broke. .'-''dead brokei--at the
end of a year. So the newspaper went down, but
the soul was saved. Mineral Point Democrat

Europe have seen all that is most attractive, from the
Highlands of Scotland to the Golden Horn of Con.
standardization the summit of the Harz Mountains

rest on loveer scene than that which is discovered
from Mount Washington, when on some clear, cool
summers morning, at sunrise, the cloud-curtan is
drawn up from natures grand proscenium, and all
that chaos of wildness and beauty starts into life the
bare, gigantic tops of the surrounding heights the
PERCEPTIONS gorges Thousand fathoms deep, which
foot of man or ray of light never entered the sombre
matted forest: the moss-clad rocky wall, weeping
with crystal springs, winding streams and cleaning
lakes and peaceful villages below and in the dim
misty distance, beyond the lower hills, faint gmpses
of the sacred bosom of the eternal deep ever heavng
up with the consciousness of its own nlnensty, all
mingled in one inaescribable panorama by the hand

GREAT CALAMIrY.-One of the most appalling ac-
cidents which ever occurred in an English town hap
pened lately in Shrewsbury and to make the matter
if possible, still dreadful from contrast it took
place amid scene of unrvaled gaiety and rejoicing
it seems that NJ. Julliens brilliant musical band in
conjunction with the annual exhibition of the Shrop-

ions on the "Isand of Poplats,'' which is lovely
isle, of the Severn whose distance from the mainland
is about hundred and fifty feet and the depth of
the river about ten feet Across this some rural
NerNes had constructed bridge Of boats, over which
not less than twenty thousand persons calculated
to have passed during the day. Still this floating
gangway gave many evidences of its insecurity, al
though no accident occurred until evening when some
thoughtless young men commenced rocking the boats
which suddenly capsized, precipitating hun.
dred people into the water-the greater portion OF
whom were unfortunately females. Every exertion
was promptly made for their rescue but only with
partial success. The mournful array of splendidy
dressed corpses which lined the banks of the Severn
awaiting the last sad ceremony of coroners inquest
will long be remembered by the present generation
and occupy prominent position among the dismal
annals OF the ancient town OF Shrewsbury.

CATCHING SHARK.-At Rockaway, Long|lsland'
few days ago, the bathers were surprised by rush
of "bunkers,' making for the beach. Many showed
signs Of rough handling, and some were severed near
ly in two Lines were procured, and many OF the
party prepared to catch the blue fish, usually found
in the wake of bunkers Soon one young man felt a
remarkable sudden bite, and hauling in with speed,
found he had huge shovelnosed shark at the end OF
his line. By the application of knife to the side OF
his head the life was let out of him. Half dozen
bunkels were found slowed away in his capaclous
stomach.

WAS THE Moon EVER A COMET ?-According to
NJ Arago, the Arcadians thought themselves Of older
date than the moon. They maintained that their an
cestors had inhabited this planet before it had any
satellite. Struck with this singular opinion, some
philosophers have imagined that the moon was for
merly comet, which, in performing its elliptical
course round the sun, in to the neghborhoodo Of
the earth and drawn into revolution around it. Such
change of orbit is possible but evidently it could
not have taken place if the comet periheon distance
had been great The comet must, therefore, have
passed very near the sun, and have experienced an
intense heat cabable of dissipating every trace OF
humidity. The almost entire absence of an atmos.
phere round the moon, the scorched appearance OF
its vast mountains and deep valleys, and the few
planets that seen, have been cited as proofs that
this lumnary was once comet. This reasoning Is
pronounced by NJ Aago founded upon the strangest
confusion Of language. -.
The moon has indeed schorched appearance, If
by that is meant that all parts OF its surface sheW
traces of former volcanic eruptons but nothing IN
its aspect indicate at the present day, what fepera
ture the has heretofore been subjected to by the
action of the solar rays These two phenomena have
land of Mayen's Island, and of Kamschatka show
every year that the frost at the surface OF the polar
regions have no effect upon subterranean matter the
chemical action ofwhich produces eruption. In all
the multitude Of bodies OF various forms and degrees
of brightness which the spacious armament displays,
comets are the only ones which are evidently ana
sensibly surrounded with gascious envelope, or o
real atmosphere. This atmosphere may have oeen
formed by the evaporation Of matter which originally
existed in the nucleus, butit is always tohnd 10 ac
company a comet, and there would be no reason 1or
its being separated from it, whatever arrangement
the comet might experience in the form ana Original
position of its orbit, from an accidental attraction
Thus the almost entire absence OF all atmosphere
around the moon is rather against them tor the
opinion that it was once comet.

WEATHER AND CROPS IN ALABAMA.-From Ala
bana exchanges we extract the following intelIi-
gence: 30.
The weather has been remarkably hot for the last
ten days, just such as is required to make growing
cotton develop well. Already we hear the planters
say their cVton crop is doing finely and the pros
poets are beteHnow for good crop than at any time
this season. [Selma Sentinel Goth inst.
As yet We have heard of but very little cotton open
in this section In 1916, we believe it was. several
bales of cotton were delivered at Candy's Landing
from the 2Sth to the Both of July This year. there
will hardly be any delivered there before the first to
the tenth of September.
[Greensboro Beacon, 2lst inst.
During the past week we have had some hot days
that we're hot days indeed. On Monday the ther-
moneter reached DC in the shade. Just at nightfall
however, we had most refreshing shower Although
we have had excess OF rain in this county, this
Irrain desired by planters-the impression be-
ing that it would have the effect to stop the shedding
of the FORMS The reports from the crops surround
ing this place generally to the effect that the
yield cannot exceed half to two-thirds of crop.
though there are isolated instances of very good
crops. Our planters have just commenced fodder
pulling [Demopolis Canebrake Gazette, 2lst inst.
For the last ten days or two weeks the weather has
heen dry and excessively warm. Cotton is shedding
its bos and squares very fast, the boil has also
| made its appearance in many places, and the pres
pect. for even half crop, is now gloomy. The corr
crop is already made and the yield will be abundant
[Jefersonian (Marengo Coz 10Th inst.
For the last fortnight we have had rain every da.
or two-in fact more than was necessary for tht
growing crops However the corn crop is quit'
promising. We fear the continued rains will ma
teriay damage the prospect of cotton, which at bes
will be far below an average Weld in this section.

ECCENTRIC F1pEL1rY.-At the death of Monsieur
Piet celebrated resaurateur of Paris, he bequeathed
the whole of his fortune, nearly two millions OF
francs to the Count de Chambord, but with the sin
guar timdity of the bourgeois de Paris fearing even
after his death to allow his political opinions to be
known he left it to his old housekeeper to be deV
cred by her person to the Count at Frohsdorf The
old woman set off on her journey alone, with this i'm
mense sum in bills and notes contained in the same
hideous old cabas she was wont to take to market,
and which never left her arm. Nothing could induce
her to accept from Henry " any other token OF his
gratitude than kiss which, of course, he bestowed
heartily in spite of drawbacks The old lady returned
to service and has lived at another great restaura
teurs ever since. She is just dead and in her drawer
sur retat from the Count de Chambord which had
been paid annually from Frohsdorf, and which by
her will again returns to the Count with every ex
preston OF loyalty and gratitude on the part OF the
tpsfatOr.
