Anecdotes Of Echoes.

"Cans't thou imagine where those spirits live,
Which make such delicate music In the woods
Who does not remember with a sort of
half regret the wonder and delight of his
first acquaintance with that mysterious,
never visible Echo: A perfect harlequin
of the air, the merriest and saddest mock
et IN the world, he laughed back your
laugh; shouted back your shout, and cried
back pour cry.
There are commonplace echoes, just as
there are commonplace people in the
world, and there are eccentric echoes, Gu
rious, remarkable, grand and beautiful
echoes. In the vicinity of Paris there ex-
lists an echo which not only repeats the
same word three times in rapid succession
but has the trick of changing the letter s
to V, which has given rise to very pleas
ant Joke. Call out Satan! The echo in
stantly replies Vat'en! (Get thee hence.)
An echo haunts the Rhine cliffs at Ober-
vessel. Ask who is the burgom&stef Of
Obcrwessel, and you get for an answer;
Esel! Esel is the German for ass, and the
burgomaster is highly sensible OF the inr-'
piled insult.
Mountain echoes are often very grand.
"The voices of subterranean demons, call
ing from the bottom of the world" is what
the Arabs call them. One of the very
grandest exists on the KGningsee, pic
turesque lake in the Bavarian Highlands,
at spot where the naked cliffs rise on one
side to the hight of five thousand feet;
the other side is clothed with forest. The
report of a pocket pistol fired here is
first returned faint and low from the
wooded side, and dies awak. In second
more it is heard gathering along the cliffs
on the other side, like gradual roll of
thunder, increasing in volume until it
breaks over your head in dcafcning crash.
Echoes love to haunt caverns and grot-
toes. There is large cavern in Finland
in which the cries of an animal thrown
into it increase in volume and multiply to
such fearful extent that men of the
strongest nerves have turned pale to hear
them. The peasantry believe the cavern
to be one ofthe principal gateways to hell.
Other grottoes are the residences of good
and happy echoes, that live in harmony
with the great Spirit Of Natures. One Of
these is the celebrated cave Of Fingal'
The vast proportions and beautiful details
of the cavern charm the eye, while the car
is enrapturcd by strains Of enchanted
music, which continually fill the air. The
crystal sounds of numbcrlcss waterfalls,
the breathing Of the winds, mingling with
the cadence of the multitudinous waves,
striking against the sonorous columns of
basalt, make a strange and rayishing hur-
! mony.

The QUESTION ANswERED.-Some
one-a woman of course-inquires why,
when Eve was manufactured from spare
rib, servant wasn't made at the same
time to wait upon her. Somebody else
a woman, we imagine-replies in the fol-
lowing strain: Because Adam never came
whining to Eve with ragged stocking to
be darned, collar-string to be sewed ON,
or glove to mend fright away, quick
now /" Because he never read the paper
until the sun got down behind the palm
trees, and then, stretching himself yawned
out, saint supper most ready, my dear"
Not he. He made the fire, and hung the
kettle over it himself, we'll venture; and
pulled the radishes; peeled the potatoes,
and did everything else he ought to do.
He MIXED the cows, fed the chickens,
and looked after the pigs himself. He
never brought half dozen friends to
dinner, when Eve hadn't any fresh pome-
granates and the mango season was over.
He never stayed out till eleven o'clock to
a ward meeting, hurrahing for an out and
out candidate, and then scolding because
poor Eve was sitting up and crying inside
the gates. He never played billiards,
rolled ten-pins, and drove fast horses, nor
choked Eve with cigar smoke. He never
loafed around the corner groceries, while
Eve was rocking little Gains cradle at
home. In short, be didn't think she was
specially created for the purpose of wait
iLg on him, and wasn't under the impress
sion, that it disgraced man to tighten a
wife's cares little. That's the reason
Eve didn't need hired girl Snd with it
was the reason that her fair descendants

have We'd with each other in spreading halo
over Cashmere, which nature has no doubt
invested with rare beauty, abounding as it
does in lovely lakes, brooks and streams Of
the purest water, and fruit trees which in the
spring cover a large portion of the land with
sheet of variegatcd blossom; but the inhab-
itants, though handsome in their persons
probably excel all orientals-which is saying
a great deal for tllem--in vice and filth. The
streets Of the towns and cities are narrow,
and abound with denominations they are too
lazy to remove, probably because their olfac-
tory organs are insensible to evil smells.
They seem, however, to be stirred up to some
degree of cleanliness by their present ruler,
who is said to possess nose rare thing in
Asia, and to make war in consequence upon
the darling habits Of his subjects. BE Is Ger
tainly a martinez on one point-in insisting
on the payment OF taxes; on one occasion,
when his subjects displayed disposition to
suffer their payments to fall into arrears, he
had forty of fthem fayed alive, by way Of eI-
ample.

Rebels ponbting Their Own Policy

nGucle DOuDtluS luCH O"u OtANys
The Richmond Enquirer is arguing to
its readers that it is not within the Prov
ince of one nation to dictate to another
what troops may or may not be employed
against it, and that the Act passed by the
rebel Congress, on Davis own suggestion,
delivering our negro soldiers and their
white officers, when captured, tUthe State
authorities for trial, was quite too wide!
1t is good sign to see glimpse Of the
consequences of that style of legislation
breaking in upon the madmen at Rich
mond. The policy Of raising colored
troops was adopted by the Administra-
ton after careful deliberation. At first
opposed and mistrusted in many quarters,
the good reports that came up from Port
ROYAL and Gen. Banks department Of the
courage displayed by the black men III
battle, of their faithfulness in camp du-
ties, their patience on the march, and
their patriotism, disarmed opposition, and
now throughout the army and through
out the country the policy is considered
sensible and good. But the rebels object
to it, and refuse to treat colored troops as
soldiers. From a persistence in that re-
fusal comes stop to all further exchange
of prisoners. This leaves 5000 Union
prisoners still in rebel hands, subject to
the most refined crueltfes Of modern chiv-
airy, to starvation, rags, crime and lnger=
ing death: The price set upon their lib
erty, is the disbandonment by our Gov
ernment of the Corps dAfrique, which
numbers already over $4,000, and are
gaining daily; and the return to them Of
5000 out Of the $4,000 rebel prisoners
whom we hold. Of course no man in
his senses will consent to the. terms OF
such bargain, dictated by foe whose
strength diminishes daily and whose
last end rapidly approaches: Miserable
as the condition of the Confederacy is, it
has one advantage over us which Heaven
forbid we should ever covet.' Lacking
the attributes of modern humanity it
holds itself at liberty to starve our men.
With four times the number of their men
in our hands that they hold Of ours, we
feel constrained to treat every one Of them
as a human being, to be fed sufficiently;
clad decently, and lodged in we'll Tcntila-
ted and not unwholesome prisons We
claim and acknowledge no right of REAL
iation that saps mans constitution, fills
him with diseases of which he can never
be rid, or condemns him to miasmatic,
mouldy dungeons. If they starve our
1000 to death we will still treat as unfor-
tunate fellow beings all of their men who
are in our power. Certainly, we shall
not waive our right to employ such SOL
diers as we choose, and it is for that rea-
son that at Richmond they begin to argue
| the folly of the act which has led to the
cessation of exchanges and all this trouble:

A MONUMENT To RoBEnT FULToN.-A
project is on foot for the erection of monu-
ment to Robert Fulton, whose remains now
lie unmarked in Trinity churchyard, New
York. Some of the prime movers in the
matter have proposed to place the monument
on the spot where the remains now rest, but
a correspondent Of the Post objects to this,
suggesting Pollopell's Island as the most
suitable place. He says: "There are yet
men living who remember the departure Of
the Clermont, Fulton's experiment boat, on
a breezy morning in August, 1907, on her
first trip. She crept cautiously but surely
against the ebbing tide and gentle head
wind along the Palisades, through the Tap
pan sea and Hayerstraw bay, around tine clas-
sic promontory Of Stony Point and the boul-
der cape Of Dunderburg, against the swift
current of the Race at Anthony's Nose, amid
the sinuosities of the channel at West Point,
and the wind-eddies of the "Hills Of the
Shatamuc," !" until, in full triumph, she cleared
the Storm King, and off picturesque Polio
pel9s Island, at the entrance to calm and
broad Newburg bay, at almost sunset, the
last doubt Of success vanished from the minds
Of the few incrednlous passengers, and the
coronal Of immortality was placed upon the
brow Of the great inventor"

A HoRRID H1NT.-The Rebels are getting,
morally, " no better very fast" The other
day the Richmond Examiner coolly proposed
to put our prisoners where hunger and
cold couldn't hurt them" now its neigh6or,
the Whig, determined not to be outdone in
zeal for the cause Darkness in general and
the cause of jeff. Davis in particular, hints
at the advisability of numbering Union pris-
oners. Lest we should seem to do injustice
to this Christian-spirited print, we give it the
benefit OF its own words What soldier will
like to see his own flesh and blood turned
into paupers for the sake Of pamperihg Yam
keesS The more Yankees sent to Rich
mond, the sooner will our women and chill
dren be compelled to beg their daily bread.
We do not blame the Yankee Government
for its course everything is fair in war. But
we repeat, the fact that no more prisoners
are to be exchanged is very suggestive, es.
pecially to Southern soldiers, who do not like
long years Of confinement, and who have
families not accustomed to the pangs Of hun
ger or hardships and ignominy Of the Poor
house. The animus of the above cannot be
mistaken. The hint is so broad that the
most dull-witted cannot fail to catch it. The
thought of the writer, expressed in plain
English, is simply this: Confederate SOL
dier! Remember that every Yankee you
capture takes so much bread from the mouths
Of your wife and little ones. Don't be
squeamish; don't stand on your humanity ;
act like sensible barbarian, and don't take
any more prisoners. Bread is dear, and
cold steel is cheap; live men are trouble.
some, and dead men need no rations Will
the brutal suggestion be heededl We hope
and pray not but il the wicked counsel
should prevail, and single instance Of the
massacre of Union prisoners proved upon
the rebels, spirit Of vengeance would be
aroused from one end Of the North to the
other that would find no rest until the crime
had been washed out in rivers of Southern
blood. The men Of the loyal States are pa
tient and long suffering; but their wrath,
once kindled by such an act Of gratuitous
atrocity would become consuming fire that
no human hand could stay.-TiOy Times.
