HEArHENIsH kcANTATloNs.-We find the
following in the Marysvilie Express:
Un the night Of the lsth October, at New
Orleans, officer Phillips and Others, on the
strength of information received, pounced
upon an establishment on Gavier street, and
abruptly interrupted the mysterious cere-
monies of small Uoudour assembly. Around
a boiling cauldron containing large snake,
half q dozen colored women, in complete
state of nudity, were performing the singular
evolutions and fantastical dance of this hea-
thenish creed. The object of their incanta-
tions was the deliverance from prison of
James Stevens, arrested for forging check.
The women we're intoxicated, and as they
moved they chanted some mysterious words,
with fervor that was growing noisier as
their excitement Increased, and was the first
cause Of their discovery and arrest. The
officers surrounded them, and after getting
them to assume more decent appearance,
led them to the lookup.
It is strange how frequently instances of
this remnant of African ignorance and super
stition are found among the black people,
Notwithstanding the religious instruction
given them. We even remember an occasion
when white women were found taking an
active part in these disgusting ceremonies.

INDIAN CouRTsHIP. Bishop, the
writer of "Floral Home" while at Minneso-
ia, in discharge of her duties as teacher,
received a proposal of marriage from an
Indian. He approached her decked out in all
his fnery-scarlet flannel, rings, feathers,
newly secured brass ornaments, and bears
claws-and'throug an interpreter announced
to her that she must be his wife. 1t was
urged that he had one wife. He replied
"All the band have as many as they can keep,
l have but one." AS an extra inducement, he
promised that she should have the best corner
of his lodge, hunt By his side and eat with
him; while the dark squaw was to hush the
papoese, cook the food, carry the game, plant
and hoe the cora, and provide wood and
water. Miss Bishop, little afraid of the
F'green-eyed monster" even if the other
claiment did hold an inferior position,
declined the honor. The Indian then begged
dollar to buy shirt, and left with
naughty air. Next day he was drunk. But
Miss Bishop had an associate who Jared
worse she had been only "a few weeks in the
country, and was ignorant Of Indian customs.
A warrior, smitten with her, called often.
Hoping to be rid of him, she gave him a ring.
He however, interpreted it as token of par
tiality, and returned to take her to the lodge.
The next day he again returned with six
young braves, to compel her to go with
him; but explanations and interference
saved her.

A WONDERFUL CLocK.-The Clock in the
tower of the Cathedral at Strasbourgh, is
not only a monster in size, but is the most
wonderful piece of mechanism in the world
1t is 700 feet high, 80 feet wide, and Is feet
deep. About 20 feet from the bottom, is the
dial, on each side of which is a cherub, hold
ing a small mallet in his hand, while over
the dial is little bell. The cherub on the
left strikes the first quarter, and that on the
right the second quarter. Fifty-fve feet
above the dial, is colossal figure of Time,
with a bell in his left hand, and scythe in
his right. figure of a young man in front
strikes third quarter on the bell in Times
left hand, and then turns and gldes around
behind Time, when out comes an old man
with filallet, and places himself in front of
the great reaper. When the hour Of twelve
arrives, the old man deliberately strikes,
with much power, twelve times on the bell
He also then gldes behind Time, and the
young man again comes out and takes his
position, ready to do his duty when called
upon by the machinery. As soon as the old
man has struck twelve and disappeared,
another set of machinery is put in motion,
some twelve feet higher up, where there is
cross with the image of Christ upon it. The
instant twelve is struck, figure of one of
the Apostles walks out from behind, comes
in front, turns facing the cross, bows, and
walks around to his place. This is repeated
by all the twelve Apostles, of Hte-size. As
the last appears, an enormous cock, perched
'on the pinnacle of the clock, slowly flaps
his wings, stretches forth bis neck, and crows
three times, so loud as to be heard outside
of the Church to some distance, and with
life-like naturalness. Then, between the
quarters and the hours, all is again as still as
death.

ThE GREAT ELEvAToR.-A Southern gen.
tleman at one of the hotels in this New York;
State, last week, perceiving that the dining
room servant, a negro, was bestowing his
attentions elsewhere, to his neglect, called
up John, and accosted him in this wise
"John, / have servants at home, and am
waited upon as gentleman should be. l
am neglected here, and am tired of it. Igive
you fair notice, that shall inform the pro-
prietors of your conduct, unless you behave
better"
The consequence was, John became very
attentive during the few days the gentleman
remained. On going away, the Southener
called John up and presented him with a
couple of dollars, which the darkey thus
eloquently acknowledged

A SLIGHT TMIsTAKE.-When Sir Isaac New.

A SLIGHT MIsTAKE.-When Sir Isaac New
ton changed his residence, and went to live
in Leicester Place, his next door neighbor
was widow 4ady, who was much puzzled
by what she observed of the habits of the
great philosopher. One of the Fellows of the
Royal Society called upon her one day, when
among other domestic news, she mentioned
that some one had come to reside in the
adjoining house, who, she felt certain, was a
poor, mad gentleman, "becanse," she said,
sshe diverts himself in the oddest way possi-
BILE. Every morning, when the sun shines
so brightly that we are obliged to draw the
window -blIuas, he takes his seat before tub
of soap-suds, and occupies himself for hours
blowing soap-bubbfes through q common
clay pipe, which he intently watches floating
about until they burst. He is doubtless now
Mt his favorite amusement, for it is fine
day. Let us 60 and look after him."
The gentleman smiled knowingly, and
accompanied the lady up stairs. And, sure
enough, Sir Isaac was employed as his guide
had predicted.
'e&adam," said he, addressing her, t'the
person whom you suppose to be a poor luna
tic, is no other than the great Sir Isaac New
ton, studying the reffaction of light upon
thin plates-a phenomenon which is beauti
fully exhibited epea the surface of COMMON
scap-aabble."
