RED RAIN.-Prodigy lovers will be
gratifed by the intelligence that fall of
what would in other days have been called
bloody rain has lately been witnessed. A
few weeks back the Neapolitans found,
Once Week says, their streets stained
with red, and their garments spotted, with
sanguinary-looking drops. Examined
closely, the coloring matter of this shower
was found to consist of small red grains,
sensibly round, and varying from the two
hundredth to the four-hundredth part of an
inch in diameter When the mysterious
element of this fall was dispelied. it was
clear that the rusty particles were really
dust specks drawn up by the wind from
African deserts and borne with it across the
Mediterranean. This is not an unprece-
dented phenomenon. Twenty years ago
French philosopher collected large guam
tity of the same quality, and probably
from the same source, from house-top
Valenc; and, again, German found tue
peculiar African grit in Berlin. These
facts show how pests, and plaques, and the
germs of disease may be carried from
country to country by the transporting
power of the wind it is not always IMAM
innate dust that is thus waited to immense
distances A shower of insects fell at
Araches, in Savoy, last January, which, up
on examination, proved to be of species
peculiar to the forests of Central France
and few years back, Turin was visited by
millions of Larvae of fy found nowhere
but in the island of Sardinia. These are
recent and well proved cases many more
striking instances might be collected
from chronicles of things curious.-Pu6lic

a dying man; then sharp, quick call, as
if for help
No, dear, it is the pitiful moan of the
waves dashing among the roots of the
pines. Alas alas my darling how
cruel is it that the winds and the waves
should mock at your agony" and the
oyertasked wife wept bitterly.
Those were days and nights of intense
suffering in that stricken family.
But the end came; and to-day Carl
Lutz lives in the village where his boy
hoods error and mistake was committed.
Ii were better, after all, that he should
fairly face and live down, or live beside it,
in the place where he was best known
But the dead body, or phantom. or skeleton
or whatever name of horror you choose to
call it, will walk beside him to the grave
You can see that in his face now he looks
as if his bleeding heart was turned to
stone, as though he felt despised of all
men.
Faith in God should take all the thorns
out of this heavy crown; but so long as
man is of the earth, earthly, seeing
through glass darkly,' this will not come
to pass. When washed and made white,
and one among the angels, we will see
clearly how short the tether that tied US
down to earth. But by the glimmer of
light that does come, let us look we'll to
the import of our idle words, never speak
ing i'll of any; never lifting the covering
from the skeleton that any one wishes to
keep hidden giving no sorrow needlessly ;
but with tenderness, and charity, and
love, as Christ-like as we can attain to, let
us be true to ourselves, and especially
gracious to those who hide sorrows that
they weep over in lonely hours, unpitied
and unseen by any, but by One who was
Himself man of sorrows and acquainted
with grief

DISTRIBUTION.
We come now to the sale and dlstrIbu-
ton of coal. There are gigantic struggles
going on in this branch of trade at present
as in most other branches. A few of. she
strongest operators-deSpairing - hx

regions, at great distance from tth IDA i

transportation or rather, by oifdassR
transportation with mining in such t Gay
that they can drive from the field Aose
who depend for profit on mining only. As
this struggle has so far only resulted in
cheapening fuel at the great shipping ports,
the consumer has nothing to complain Of
in this connection. The great Scranton
sales of the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western Company would often result iu a
positive loss to them, did they not have
a profit from the transportation of the Goa
on their railroad.
The struggle for supremacy in the le
high region has resulted in the building
by the old Lehigh Canal Company, of a
railroad along the Lehigh parallel to that
of the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company
at cost of S11,000,000. But there ii
transportation enough for both lines. The
canal company has the advantage of own
ing its own mines and the canal, thu:
forming the principal opponent of the Del

Delaware and Hudson Canal companies il
the New York market. But to be eve
with these competitors, they have often tc

Newark and other New Jersey town.
Now that the Delaware, Lackawanna an
Western have leased the Morris and Esses
road, the contest will be hotter than evel
The principal shipping stations for COZ

SWEARING CHINAMEN.-A trial now GO
ing on in California for the murder of a
Chinaman named All Son, is creating much
interest on account of the novel mode of
swearing the witnesses. A ROSTERS head
is hacked off with knife, saucer broken,
the oath written on yellow paper, burned,
and the smoke. in which is supposed to be
the spirit of the burned oath, blown up to
heaven in each case. The prosecution and
defence each swore FIVE witnesses, killed
five chickens, broke FIVE saucers, burned
Eve pieces of paper, etc. After killing
the chickens they are thrown away by the
Chinaman, and considered unfit for use +;
but having had their throats cut, nicely
bled, etc., the American heather consider
them none the worse for having been
guilty of the sacrilege of assisting to de-
YOUR q portion that was really fat, tender
and good to our unsanctifed palate.

A MUSCULAR CHRIsTIAN.-Dr. Alfrd
Booth, in his "reminiscences of Springfield
Mass, gives the following account of q
rare man of muscle iu the late century
Deacon John Hitchcock, of South Wilbra-
ham:
He is well remembered by Hon. Oliver
B. Morris as occupying the deaoon's seat
at meetings, his whitened locks giving him
quite venerable appearance. During a
long life he was of wonderful strength, agil-
ity and endurance, and had he lived in the
palmy days of Greece, he would have been
a worthy competitor in the games of those
| DAYS. It is related of him that on one
occasion, a man riding by the field where
he was at work, and boastingsf the speed
of his horse. vas 4hailAnyed
who said he could run to Springfield quick
er on foot than the horse and his rider
could The test resulted in the triumph of
the deacon; distance ten miles time not
stated. He would lift cart load of hay
by getting his shoulders under the axle, in
STOPPING posture, and throw an empty
cart over with one hand by taking hold of
the end of the axle-tree. When loading
grain in a cart he would take bag by the
teeth, and with swing and the aid OF
push from the knee, throw it into the
cart He had double teeth in front, and
would hold tenpenny nail by them and
break it off with his fingers. He used to
say he did not know man he could not
whip or run away from The day he was
seventy years old he remarked to his wife
that when they were first married, he was
won't to amuse her by taking down his hat
with his toes, and added, Il wonder if I
could do it now ?" Thereupon he jumped
from the floor, took off his hat with his
toes, came down on his feet ike a cat,
hung up the hat on the nail, turned to the
table asked blessing, and ate of the re-
past then ready.
