An Enchanted NIoun,ain.

In one of the north eastern counties of
Georgia, and less than hundred miles
from Chattanooga, is natural curiosity,
called from Indian tradition, the Encliant-
ed Mountain.
The mountain is not large, and there
is nothing remarkable about it'until YOU get
on top, when human tracks, or impress
sions in the solid rock which appear TO be
human tracks; are seen.
How these almost human tracks CAME
to be impressed on the rock of this
mountain, is one of the many mysteries
of this mysterious land Of ours. There
are a great tilaay traditions aih0ng the
Indians 10 regard TO this mountain, but
n0re Of them are satisfactory, and It
probably never viii be known who il was
that left their tracks upon the summit of
the Enchanted Mountain One of tho
Indian traditions is curious, for 1t shows
that they had a vague idea of Noah's
food, before the advent uf the white man.
The story had been handed down among
the aborigines, that II was the landing
place OF the great canoe, after the deluge;
and the tracks were made by the people
in the canoe, as they stepped upon ihe
rock which had been made soft bv the
long inundaiion.
One of the tracks, and the largest on;
is seventeen and half inches in length
and seven and three -fourlhs inches wide.
Unlike the others, it has six toes This
must have been Noah's tracks, and il
there was anything In The Mosaic account
OF tho flood concerning the size of Noah's
teet, we might have "a confirmation of The
indian tradition. The sizs Of the track
would indicate that he Hure number
eiehteens.
There are 136 impressions of the feet
and hands visa5le ON the face of the rock:
The smallest foot track is four inches in
length and OF perfect shape. Another
Indian tradition is that great battle was
once fought tliere, and tho large tracks
with the six toes is that of the victorious
commander. This is essentially Indian,
as their ideas of mental greatness were
crcumscribed by physical size. To be a
great warrior with them was to be of
immense size and strength. They did not
recognize the size and quality of the brain
as having anything to do with II.
Bot who made these tracks upon the
Enchantcd Mountain? 1t il was human
feet, then whose feet, and what age of
the world II they were cbiseied out
by human hands, whose hands, and
when , Alas, that tbe learning of the
world amounts TO SO little, for no mad
can tell.

A wonderful Performance.
A Man Stands on the Cross Of the Spire
ola Catholic Cathedral.

In Cincinnati, on Monday, two broth
ers named Rodiguez, Spaniards, as their
names indicate, came to Father Edward
Purcell and asked leave to put in order
the lightning rod that runs up the tall
spire of the cathedral on the corner Of
PlCm and Eighth streets. The Father
told them the insulators on the rod were
broken and other repairs to it, no one
could tell how much, were needed, but he
besought them to put up scatfolding In
order 10 get at the rod, which needed to
be repaired. Having been commissioned
to do the work they proceeded to the ex-
ecution Of il without delay. To the pass
ers along the theroughfares the sight
of two men threading their way mp the
outside of the spire was full of interest
Coming out Of the spire at one of the
Louvre windows just above the dial faces
of the tower, the men swung ladder
partly by rope dropped down from a
narrow aperature Just below the base of
the spire, and partly by its own hooks,
caught upon the stone molding around the
next story above the tower. Up this
pendulous ladder ore of the men climbed,
hanging to the rungs like parrot TO its
perch. On the ledge of the molding, to
which the hooks of the ladder hung, was
a good base of operations. A half dozen
ladders were provided One was drawn
up and planted on the new base, and
lashed in place both at the top and the
bottom. The top touched the last ledge
of molding IN the ascent of the base out of
which the tower arose.

THE ARMENIAN TRoUBLEs.-Three delegates
of the schismatic Armenians have arrived in
Rome in order to make proposals for n return
to unity. Mgr Pluym, Bishop of Nicopolis,
has been dispatched on n special mission to
Constantinople to treat with the Patriarch. 1t
would be premature to speak of the conditions
demanded on either side, but great hopes may
be entertained of the result if Russian diplo
macy does not intervene. 1t is more than ever
to be hoped that something like direct interna-
tional relations between Rome and the Porte
should be established, rs the best means to-
wards separating Christian interests in the
East from the schismatic Russian Protectorate
and the phantom of protection accorded ed by the
subjects of Turkey that they can give just obe-
dience to their recognized rulers and yet remain
faithful Catholics, would gain them valid pro
lection from the Sultan himself instead OF be-
ing the bone of contention between Russia,
France, and Austria, every time the Eastern

ROME AND ITS VIsIToRs-The great differ
ence between Rome, as regarded by Catholic,
and Rome looked upon by the eyes of sight
seeing, mosaic-buying Englishmen, was never
better illustrated than in the following passage
from the admirable life of Father Faber, re-
Gently compiled by Father Bowden:
1t is quite impossible for any Christian to be
disappointed in Rome. You walk through the
street where stood the centurion's house; be-
the Apostles there ST. Ignatius shed his blood;
from that pulpit st. Thomas of Aquino preach
ed in that room st. Francis slept; in that
that shabby basilica Pope zosimus heard and
judged Celestius, and condemned the Pelagian
heresy; beneath that tomb are the relics of ST.
Peter and st. Paul; in yonder church five
famous councils were held in those catacombs
| are the bones of the nameless martyrs known
| to God only; and SO one might go on for ever.
Some of the traditions may be incorrect, many
are clearly not SO, and withal, if the locality
bo wrongly fixed, the city itself somewhere
must contain the true one. 1t is truly n "dread-
| full" place, and lays great weight on the
| spirit.
How different this is from the spirit with
which English especial correspondents" write
| about q city so holy to all Catholics we need
| hardly say. But in remembering this, we can
afford to smile at much of the rubbish which
we have to peruse daily in the public papers.
and to make great allowance for the many mis-
representations with which all connected with
the Holy Father and the Church are assailed
Another extract from the same work is even
more applicable to the present day:
bless God that there is such place upon
the surface of this sinful EARTH What piety,
humility, selfsacrifice, sanity grandeur have
1 not come across, with awful admonitions of
history and monuments of faith! l feel as if /
should like to satisfy my feelings by walking
barefoot and bareheaded in the streets, as one
would do around the holy sepulchre at Jerusa-
lem, so present does God seem in this mysteri-
GUS city And yet there is little world around
me of my countrymen, buying mosaics. loung-
ing in the Corso, promenading on the Pincian,
| giving soirees, .crticizing at studios, lsping
| artistical nonsense about canoes!
If for these last words we write, lisping
nonsense about the Council" the comparison
will be perfect.
