THE POWER OF IMAGINATION. - A
wealthy lady had tickling in her throat,
and thought bristle of her tooth brush
had gone down and lodged in her gh1let.
Her throat daily grew worse. 1t was badly
inaamed, and she sent for the family doc
tor. He examined it carefully and assured
her that nothing was the matter-it was q
nervous delusion, he said. Still her throat
troubled Der, and she became SO much
alarmed that she was sure she should die.
A friend suggested she should call on DR..
Jones, young man just commencing
practice. She did not at first like the idea,
but finally assented, and DIR. Jones was
called. He was q person of good address
and polite manners. He looked carefully
at her throat, asked several questions as to
the sensation at the seat of the malady, and
finally announced that he could relieve her
in short time. On his second visit he
brought with him q delicate piece of for
pceps in the teeth of which he had inserted
a, bristle taken from an ordinary tooth
brush. The rest can be imagined. The
lady threw back her head the foreceps
was carefully introduced into her mouth,
a pick, loud scream, and it was over /;
the young physician, with smiling face,
was holding up to the light and inspecting
with lively curiosity the extracted bristle.
The patient was in raptures. She immedi-
ately recovered her health and spirits, and
went about everywhere sounding the
praises of her saviour" as she persisted
in calling the dexterous operator.

WESTERN AUsrRALIA.-Sir Charles Mich
olson recently read two papers on Austria
liza before the Royal Geographical Society.
Sir Charles Nicholson said the nature of
the COMMUNICATIONS made consisted of two
papers-one giving an account of an explo-
ration in Western Australia in search of
DR.. Leichardt and his companions, and the
other q description of o new settlement
proposed to be formed on the north
coast. The last expedition was fitted out
by the local Government of Western Aus
tralia, in consequence of the reports of
natives that the bones of white men were
to be found in the interior. Mr.. John For
rest offered his services, and was sent in
charge of a small party, including two ma
tives, to investigate the truth of the report.
They started in April last, and after an alb
sence of several months, returned without
having discovered any traces of the lest
traveller. The party proceeded to a point
much beyond that reached by Gregory in
1876. They met with several tribes of hos
tile natives, and their aboriginal compan-
ions had veSy narrow escape with their
lives. 1t was supposed that the rnmor
about the white mems bones originated in
the discovery by the natives of q quantity
of horses bones which had persisted in o
previous exploring expedition. The second
paper upon the intended formation of a
settlement in North Australia, was found
chiefly ON a published report from the Sur
| veyor- General of South Australia. They
found a bay-Port Darvin-snitable for
vessels, and the land productive. Natives
were there, who were rather hostile, and
one of the surveying party was speared in
his tent and another wounded. Two Ma
lays were living with the natives, who
were the remnants of ship-wrecked crew.
Traces of minerals were discovered, and
very slight search led TO their obtaining
gold. On the whole it was supposed that
there were about one million acres OF ex-
cellent farming land in the neighborhood Of
the port. All the reports, as to the interior
were very discouraging; and explorers who
had penetrated to the deserts invariably
suffered great privations. I,Sir Charles next
proceeded to give an outline of the progress
Of discovery from the time-lOO years ago
on the Doth April-when Captain Cook first
landed at Botany Bay. After referring to
many explorers, he pointed out on large
chart the course taken by Leichardt from
Moreton Bay, in his first journey, the result
of which was the opening up of an enor-
nous tract of country. His second expedi-
ton started off twenty years ago, and the
fate of the party would probably never be
discovered. In concluding, Sir Charles
alluded to New Guinea, of which he said
very little was known, and yet there was
no country which stimulated further in
curry more than that, every one who
had visited the shores gave most glowing
account of it.

ENGLIsH ATROCITIES IN AUSTRALIA
Many years ago / fell in with the lowest
order Of English convicts, who assured me
that he liked to kill black fellow better
sh rr os at ms sbat He related the
following adventure: One evening with
some armed bookkeeping mates, he
climbed Maloney's Sugar Loaf, and saw q
tribe lighting their fires for the night. He
returned with the news; then, abstaining
waited till just dawn, advanced towards
their unsuspicious victims in q crescent
line, 60 as to cut off retreat, and fired close
He quietly remarked" 3" There wasn't many
of them got off," dissembled a little, and
in an of-hand way inquired how many he
amputated arm, smiled archfy at me, and
said " No, no, that's not q fair question"
DE-. Nixon, Bishop of Tasmania, Australia,
is forced to say of such scenes: There are
many such on record, which make us blush
for humanity when we read them, and for
bid us to wonder that the maddened
savages' indiscriminate fury should not
only have refused to recognize the distinc-
ton between friend and foe, but have
taught him to regard each white man as,an
intruding enemy, who must be got rid of
at any cost" My worthy friend, Dr.Shoo-
bridge, a much respected Tasmania colonist,
is my authority for the story of q sad
tragedy. Two English sportsmen went out
shooting birds. Some natives, seeing them
approach, hastily fled. A woman, for ad-
vanced in pregnancy, unable to run with
the rest, climbed into Il tree and broke down
the branches around her fox copce;Ilmcnt
One of these proposed to shoot her, but the
other objected. The first, however, dropped
behind and fired at the unfortunate crea-
ture. A fearful scream was heard, and
then newborn infant fell out of the tree
That very day the wife and child of this
monster were crossing the Derwent, when a
sudden squall upset the boat, and both
were drowned.

STUDY OF IRISH HISTORY. We have
often wondered, (says the London Universe,)
at the gross ignorance of Irish history
which 80 many Irishmen show, and we
have tried in vain to arrive at the cause of
this national anomaly. 1t is not that Irish
historical works do not exist, for though
there may be truth in the remark that no
very great Irish historians have yet been
found, there are many excellent works
throwing abundant light ON particular eras
Of Ireland's story. As for the I" national
schools, las they are called in bitter mock
ery,) nothing is allowed to be breathed
within their precincts to tell the Irish boy
any thing of the history of his native land.
We see that bad as Trinity College, Dub
lin, is in many respects, it has lectures on
report of the last Of these, delivered the
other day by Mt. Richey, we were pleased
to notice the national tone of the senti-
ments., The subject was the career Of the
great chief, Shane O'Neill, whose fame has
been attempted to be blackened BY Mr..
Froude, the slanderer Of Queen Mary
Stuart. The lecturer showed that three
times the English Ministry had attempted
to procure his assassination, and the Queen
and Sussex were parties to at least one Of
these attempts. Mr.. Richey described with
characteristic vigor and picturesque sue.
chief-his loves, his letters, his visit TO the
Queen, his holiness in arms, his caution in
diplomacy, in fine, his wonderful life and
ignominious death. Nothing could have
been finer than the lecturers casHgatfon OF
modern writers of Irish history, or more
attractive than bis own mastery analysis
of the motives and character Of O'Neilk..
We think that much good would be done
if not only Irishmen but Englishmen were
better acquainted with the history of Ire
land, correct knowledge of which would
tend to remove many an error from English
minds, and give more self-respecting tone
to many an Irishman's feelings. Every
English schoolboy can tell the main points
of English history, and no Scottish school
boy is afraid to talk of Wallace, Bruce and
Bannockburn. The Irish schoolboy should
also know at all events the leading points
in the history of his nstive land.

The BAsHLCA OF ST. PAUL AT RoME.-No
words can describe the splendor of st. PauPs
outside the wallis" One stands lost in admira-
ton and struck dumb by its chaste and solid
magniicence. Almost every throne in Europe
has contributed to it's adornment tn 1T of Eng
land and the Turk among the number. Eng
land could not we'll refuse; for just as the
Vatican Basilica, under the protection of Aus
tria, and the Lateran under that of France, SO
used the Ostian to be undefth that of our coun-
try. A curious circumstance occurred when,
in 1843, the campanaile, spared by fire twenty
years earlier, had to be taken down. Carefully
concealed in it were coins Of sixty two differ
emit mints. Those Of England were of the date
of Edward the C0nfess0r. As Saxon King of
Wesssx instituted the Peter's-pence in England
in 726, the antiquity of the treasure can cause
cradle, and was no doubt tho quota assigned
by the Papal treasury to st. Paul's from the
vast store swel1ed by contributions from all
parts Of Christendom; and the general suppo-
monks about the time that Hensy Nv. was con-
ducting his repeated sieges Of the Eternal City.
England was strongly represented lately, whom
veepers Of an attractive order wero sung at
were crowded, the enormous nave and double
aisles-four in all-beiug untenanted save by
stray wanderers. The marble pavement, the
stained-glass windows, the mosaic portraits of
Oriental aiabaster, the malachite pediments,
the gold capitals, they must ell be seen for
their wealth and beauty to be appreciated. I
cannot agree with those who think that the
would have done well to let the Basilica sue
cumb forever to o devouring fame. think it
is we'll that, as said in the nineteenth as in
the fourth century, the supereminent claims of
the Apostle of the Gentiles should be conspicu-
ously recognized by the Church which is ac-
cnsed of concentrating all honor on the head
of Peter. In this instance she has recognized
them with characteristic magnifcence.

THE MIsERERE AT RoME.-The Sistine
Chapel is dimly lighted, to correspond with
the gloom OF the scene Swallowed forth.
The ceremonies commenced with the chant
ing Of the Lamentations. Thirteen candles,
in the form Of an erect triangle, were light
ed up in the beginning, representing the
different moral lights Of the ancient Church
Of Israel. One after another was extin-
guished as the chant proceeded, until the
last and brightest one, 1T the top, repre-
by one slowly disappeared in the deepen
ing gloom, blacker night seemed gather
ing over the hopes and fate of man, and
the lameutati0n grew wilder and deeper.
But as the Prophet of prophets, the Light,
the Hope Of the world, disappeared, the
lament suddenly ceased. Not 9 sound was
heard amid the deepening gloom. The
catastrophe was too awful and the shock
too, great to admit of speech. He who had
been pouring his sorrowfal notes over the
good and great seemed struck suddenly
dumb at this greatest woe. Stunned and
stupefed, he could not contemplate this
mighty disaster. Inever felt a heavier pres
sure upon my heart than at this moment.
The chapel was packed in every inch of it,
even ont Of the door, far back into the hall,
yet not q sound was heard. I could hear
the breathing of the mighty multitude and
amid it the suppressed, half-drawn sigh.
Like the chanter, each man seemed to say,
SAAASV 40 HVaO VIZ oAo VA phhoo nAA
orphans!" The silence at length became
too painful. thought should shrek out
in agony, when suddenly a low wall, so
desolate and yet so sweet, SO despairing
and yet so tender, like the last strain of a
broken heart, stole slowly out from the
distant darkness and swelled over the
throng, that the tears rushed unbidden to
my eyes, and I could have wept like a
child in sympathy. 1t then died away, as
if the grief were too great for the strain.
Fainter and fainter, like the dying tone of
lutte, it sunk away, as if the last sigh of
sorrow was ended, when suddenly there
burst through the arches cry so piercing
and shrill, that it seemed not the voice of
song, but the language of wounded and
dying heart in its last agonyzing throb.
The multitude swayed to it like the forest
to the blast. Again it ceased, and broken
sobs of exhausted grief alone were heard.
In a moment the whole choir joined their
lament, and seemed to weep with the weep
or. After few notes they paused again,
and that sweet, melancholy voice incurred
on alone. It's note is still in my ear. 7
wanted to see the singer. It seemed as IL
such sounds could come from nothing but
a broken heart. o! how unlike the joyful,
the triumphant anthem, that swept through
the same chapel on the morning that sym
bolized the resurrection !-Headley.

Townsend A. Thomas, Past Grand
Master aud Special Deputy Of the
Grand Master of Tennessee, has been
visiting the Lodges In West Tennes-
see, soliciting the endowment fund
for the Masonic Orphans Home. We
understand that there are to he, for
this Home, three locations-one in
each of the Grand Divisions Of the
State to be located on 1000 to 800
acres ofrich land, upon which are to be
erected n sch0ol-house and church,
aud upon the farm sufficient amount
Of the land Is to be laid oil In avenues,
and divided into two-acrc lots, upon
which are to be erected cottage homes,
one OF which Is tO be set apart for
each Masonic widow and her child
rem, and they supplied with food and
raiment, and the children educated.
The boys are TO cultivate the farm by
detail of two hours work daily while
being educated, thus making the farm
supply the necessaries OF life, rs far
as practicable, and the interest on the
endowment supplying the deficiency,
thus making one Of the grandest en-
terprises Of the age. The nearness
OF the location Of the homes makes
II entirely practicable for the social
relations Of life to be maintained and
happiness and usefulness given 10 all.
We learn from the papers Of that
section of the State that, through
Mr.. Il. Thomas, forty-six lodges In
West Tennessee have subscribed the
sum OF S5i, $50 TO the endowment.
With similar liberal responses from
other sections, the entire endowment
will be readily secured, aud the Ma
