DIR. Robert Chambers tells the fol-
lowing story, which he had from the
Rev. w. McGregor, Sterling; MIR.
Finlayson, town clerk of Sterling, in
the latter part of thee seventeenth
century, was noted for the marvellous
in conversation. He was on visit to
the last earl of Monteith and Airth, in
his castle of Talla, on the Loeb of
Monteith, and was about taking leave,
when he was asked by the earl wheth-
er he had seen the sailing cherry tree.
s'No, said Finlayson. "What sort of
thing is it ?" "It is" replied the
earl, "a tree that has grown out of a
9oose's mouth, from a stone that the
bird had swallowed, and which she
bears about with her in her voy-
ages round the loch. 1t is now in
full fruit, of the most exquisite flavor,
Finlayson," he added. Scan you,
with all your powers of memory aud
fancy, match my story of the cherry
tree? ?" ssPerhaps can, said Finlay-
son, clearing his throat and adding
'sWhen Oliver Cromwell was at Airth,
one of his cannon sent ball to Sterl-
ing, and lodged it in the mouth of q
trumpet, which one of the troopers in
the castle was IN the act of sounding.
aWas the trumpeter killed ?" said the
earl. mo, my lord" replied Finlay
son, determined to outdo the earl in
s.drawing the long bow ''He blew
the ball back and killed the artillery
man who had fired it.

A Pennsylvania Oil Town.

Millerstown, lately destroyed by fire,
was good type of the average Penn
sylvania towns which owe their wealth,
prosperity and position to the discovery
of petroleum. Three years ago it was
a dead old country village. Farming
land there could be bought for SO an
acre, and town property was CORES
pondingly low. How the villagers gain
ed their livelihood, was an open ques-
ton. They grew up and vegetated
until death reaped and gathered them
in. Then their children took their
fathers places and followed in their
footsteps, living the same lazy, hum
drum lives Finally an oil adventurer
g struck oil - at Harms City. Their
property at Millerstown rose 500 per
cent. Everybody was excited The
farmers caught the fever, and would
come into town to talk oil. Finally a
rig was built and well drilled. 1t
proved to be a dry hole, Then another
well, and still another were drilled,
until at last fifteen favored them with
a 80 barrel flow. A perfect whirlpool
of excitement broke over the town.
With their good luck came the oil spec
ulator. A man owning farm that a
year before he would have been glad to
sell for 81, 900 received $4,000 for it,
and the owner of the rickety old hotel
closed with an offer of 10000 A 500
barrel well was struck, and then quick
ly followed the /, 400 and 800 barrel
wells, which at once proclaimed Miller
stown the champion oil territory of the
world With its prosperity, Millers-
town changed in appearance, and one
week ago was teeming with business
and full of life and energy-To-day

The Wonders of Australia.

The Brisbane (Australia) Courier of
Dec. 30, 1878, publishes the following
official telegram from Mr. Walter Hill,
the Government Botanist, dated from
Cardwell on the 9th and received by
the Qeensland Secretary for Lands:
Since the Goth of November we have
examined the banks of the Mulgrave,
Russell, Mossman, Daintree and Hull

| Negro GirPs Remarkable Memory,

There is a negro girl in Brucetown,
Ky, about nine years of age, whose
memory is truly marvellous. Her won
derful powers were first brought to the
notice of a white man, who keeps a
grocery IN that part of the city, about
two weeks ago. He had been reading
aloud in her presence the day before,
and accidentally heard her repeat, word
for word, what he had read from the
paper, though twerty-four hours had
interviewed After this he tested her
memory frequently, and has found her
capable of repeating twenty or thirty
lines from a book after hearing it read
over once. Her intellect, in other re-
spects, does not seem at all above, if
equal to the average Such instances
of memory are not very unusual. Mary
Summerville tells of an idiot, in Edin-
burgh, who never failed to repeat the
sermon, word for word, after attending
the kirk each Sunday, saying, Here
the minister coughed . "Here he
stopped to blow his nose" She also
tells of another whom she met in the
Highlands, who knew the Bible SO per-
fectly that if he were asked where such
a verse was to be found, he could tell
without hesitation, aud repeat the chap
