4 letter to the Cincinnati Times tells
this story Travelling on some bust
ness, yesterday, in the country, l was
surprised too see three men moving grass
who wore not more than their shirt and
a skirt of the same finish as female
petticoat. 1 stopped and asked them if
they were not ashamed, and afraid of
being laughed at The ready answer
was "If we were half naked in pants
no one would laugh at US We can thus
do more work, without the bad effect on
eur bodies of the sun, and without the
severe sweating and the adheriDg of
pants, the skirts light and loose. We
wear skirts instead OF pants in all our
heavy work, and some OF our neighbors
do the same. We hope the time will
come when every workiBgman viii wear
the clothes most convenient and easy for
him, without reference to an old and
foolish custom, that men shall not wear
any clothes similar to the present female
apparel Why should We not be allowed
! to dress like female, if we choose
Would there be anything wrong in il
The old Jews, Christ and His apostles
were similarly dressed, and it was tht
custom for 400 years; and are we any
better for wearing pants ? No, sir"

From the san Francisco Bulletin
Near The confines of Frosho. Tularc
ard lnyo counties, in the vicinity OF the
head waters of the keweah, there exists
a remarkable piece Of country. The
Indians say it is the abiding place of the
Evil Spirit. The country Is rugged and
rocky-mountaius, with deep valleys and
precipitous cliffs. Snakes AID reptiles Of
every description abound in untold mum
bers, and, taken in all, it is a wild and
uDinyiting region. But, aside from this,
most curious phenomenon exists. The
ground trembles and quakes almost con-
tiuuously, and the abundant rocks grind
and grit together as If being urged by
some terrible influence Frequently
deep discharges are heard, muffied and
dull, like the distant sound of heavy
artillery. At night the sounds seem to
be more abundant than ia the day time
No Indian can be induced to venture
near the locality, regarding it with super
stitious horror. No theory is advanced
by any one to account for the strange
phenomena mentioned. We also learn
from William Faymouville that above
the head OF Crane Valley, in this county,
another place similar to the one men
toned exists. Persons who have visited
the last place named describe the sounds
mentioned as like muified thunder.

KhOrassau

This place where, according to our tel
egrams, hundreds of human beings are
daily dying for lack of food, and the
starving people are actually reduced to
eannibalism, lies between latitude 81
80 degrees 80 minutes N, and longitude
53-62 degrees 80 minutes f., and is the
largest province in Persia. containing
210 900 square miles. Nearly one third
Of this area is a salt waste; a large por-
ton Of the remainder consists of plains
of shifting sands, leaving comparative
Iy small part susceptible of cultivation.
The fertile districts are in the North,
where the high range of the Elburz
mountains crosses the country, throwing
out spurs, thus forming an elevated dis
trict abouDdiDg in we'll watered valleys.
Art assists the work of nature by means
of canals, which conduct water wherever
it is most needed; but this system of
irrigation. though much used in ancient
times, has been to a great extent aban-
doned on account of the incessant inter
nal troubles which have disturbed the
province for many centuries past.

A BEAUTIFUL DEMON.
The Young Girl who Roasted a
Nkau in San Antonio.

In going through the parish prison
few days since, the attention of the re-
porter was attracted to a young girl, ap
parently not more than 10 years of age.
She had fair nut-prown hair and com
plexion fresh and white as milk. The
mild blue eyes were singularly soft and
intelligent, aud her whole appearance in
dicated the free, Joyous characteristies of
youth and happiness. Yet this amiable
looking creature, this fair, delicate Mi
nerva Of slender form aud ingenious
face, is said to be a devil incarnate. She
was not a prisoner, only visitor to the
institution, and when the reporter saw her
she was eonversing with a noted burglar;
indeed she says she is a cousin OF Pete
Mrnday's, and goes under the soubriquet
of Lily. She is almost as fair and deli
cate as one.
Her career is a remarkable series OF
adventures and hair breadth escapes.
About a year ago she lived in San An-
tonic, Texas, and for some real or fancied
misconduct received a severe castigation
at the hands of man with whom she
was living.
Burning with resentment, aud conscious
of her inability to cope with him in
physical strength, she waited until the
next night. when he was asleep, and then
locking the doors of the room and closing
every avenue of escape, she prepared for
a work Of horror almost impossible to
conceive. On one pretext or another
! she sent all the inmates Of the house
away, and procuring paper and other in
fammable material, built funeral pyre
around the bed Of the sleeping man
This done She set fire to it, and, locking
the door behind her, fed the house The
man woke up s. hen the house was full Of
flames and, in escaping from the room
was literally roasted One side of his
( body was burned almost to a cinder
He has never recovered from his injuries,
aud is TO day hopeless invalid, suffering

guish His generosity-perhaps his
sense of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS his prose
cutting the girl, aud she made her escape
to New Orleans. Arriving here, she
took apartments on Toulouse street, be
tween Rampant aud Burgundy, where
she still resides. She is yet very young
certainly not more than seventeen a
farthest; her vindietive and savage fury
when excited is a terror to all her ac
quaintances.
1t Is strange that beneath an exterior
so fair and beautiful, should be concealed
the element of such lawless violence

Bring NE Rose from the Gar
Of the Tuiieries..

The London Coart Journal says: a
charming anecdote, worthy of the ancient
days of chivalry, is being whispered
about smoDg the higher circles in Lon
don. 1t seems that one of our young
Catholic heroes of high life, always a
great admirer Of the Empress Eugenie,
paid visit to Chiselhurst, recently. pre-
vious to his departure for Paris. "What
can bring your Majesty from BabylonY
the name BIZ which the doomed city is
always designated now by the Ultramou-
tame party-ssid the young nobleman,
as he bent low over her Msjesty's fair
hard. Nothing" replied the Empress
sadly. then suddenly correcting her
speech. said, quietly, yes, there is one
thing ! should love. Bring me rose
from the garden of the Tuileries - The
young man promised TO execute this ap-
parentiy easy commission, and departed

Chiselhurst with a case Of morocco in his
hand which he reverently presented on
beuded knee 20 the Empress II was
the golden rose, gift Of the Pope to her
Majesty, that he had brought ''from the
Tuileries." How he obtained, or through
what long course of adventure he had
traced it to the party willing to part with
il. will never be known, nor yet at what
sacrifice it was obtained. But great was
the JOY of the ilustrious lady on behold
ing it, and pardonable the feeling which
induces her to hope that it will bring 3
blessing at last to her house and stay the
wrath Of heaven. 1t had always formed
a part Of the altar decorations of the
chapel at the Tuileries.

THE WORLDS FAIR Those in

V~ALLANDIGHAM,

A New York dispatch says that
Roger A. Pryor, o a resident of that
city, was an intimate friend Of Mr..
Vallanhigham for many wears. Mr..
Pryor was lunching on Saturday when
he heard the news Of his friends
DEATH OF course he was startled for
a moment, but he instantly exclaimed:
''What a fortunate man! He had Just
reached the very acme of his life. He
had conquered all his prejudices.
abandoned the old issues. accepted the
situation, advanced his W ideas,
and stepped to the front. His new
departure politically has only been
collapsed in grandeur by his earthly
exit. An eccentric, strong willed. but
good hearted, conscientious man was
Nallandigham." Such was the i'm
promptu utterance of Pryor about his
old time friend.
The following from the Tribune's
editorial on VaIIandigham: "His new
departare is regarded by many as in
consistent with all his past career. but
that is their fault. So long As slavery
lived. he fought for it with "A lovers
devotion; but, since it is dead beyond
the hope of a resurrection. it seemed
to him absurd that his party should
per>istentlv, fruitlesslv sacrifice itself
to the names of the departed. What
TO little minds seem Inconsistency
was simply common sense; that APP
probation of, and conformity to. the
actual status which divides practical
men from blockheads, who are often
called me of one idea, because they
never have even that number. His
death makes a void in the ranks of his
party, but the success of the bold. new
cOunternnarch, with which his name
IS identified, is already assured"
A Dayton dispatch says: Mrs.
fatlandigham is somewhat restored.
Mr.. NaiIandigham'S estate is valued
at from $4,000 to $4,000, clear of in
cumberance.
