rushed against the door with fear
full growl; at the same moment came
the report of gun, followed by an
other cry. Two minutes after | was
on the road, armed with a carbine and
holding a dark lantern; my father
and the stranger, armed, and accom-
panied me- As for Bevis, he had
darted out of the house and disap-
peared.
1--WE approached the defile which
l mentioned before, at the moment
when a flash of lightning illuminated
the scene. A hundred yards in ad-
vance we saw Bevis grasping a man
by the throat. We hurried on, but
the dog had completed his work ere
we reached him. The two men whom
l recognized as those who had sought
admittance to our inn, lay dead,
strangled by his powerful jaws.
Further on, we discovered another
man, whose bloody wounds the noble
dog was licking. The stranger ap-
preached him and gave a convulsive
cry: it was Sir Arthur-the master
of Bevis."
Here NJ. Dermann paused; the recol-
lection seemed to overcome him; and
he stopped to caress the sleeping
greyhound in order to hide his emo
tion. After a while he finished his
rnoital in q faw words
''Sir Arthur was mortally wounded,
but he lived long enough to recognize
his dog, and to confess that in mo-
ment of desperation, he had tried to
kill the faithful creature who now
avenged his death, by Staying the
robbers who had attacked him. He
appointed the stranger his executor,
and. settled large pension On Bevis,
to revert to the family of the inn
keeper, wishing thus to testify his
repentant love toward his dog, and
his gratitude toward those who had
succored him. The grief of Bevis
was excessive; he watched by his
masters couch, covering the dead
body with caresses, and for a long
time lay stretched on his grave, re-
fusing to take nourishment; and it
was not until after the lapse of many
months that the affection of his new
master seemed to console him for the
loss of Sir Arthur"
AS my fellow traveller finished the
recital, the diligence stopped to
change horses at the little town of
Mentua. Here NJ. Dermann's jour
ney ended, and having taken down
his luggage, he asked me to assist
the descent of his dog. shook hands
with him cordially, and then called
Bevis, who seeing me on such good
terms with his master, placed his
large paws on my breast, and uttered
a low, friendly bark. Shortly after
they both disappeared from my sight,
but not from my memory, as this lit
tie narrative has proved.

Sinbad OutdOne- "A Wonderful
Story.

The author of "Sinbad the Sailor S
Adventures must resign his laurels
One W. H. Stokes has been exploring
a recently-discOvered cave near Pine
Grove, Amador county, Cal, and
writes to the Sutter Creek Indepen-
dent an account of his Investigations.
Mr.. Stokes vouches for the exact
truth of his narrative in every par
ticular, and perhaps the reader will
readily credit it from the following
specimen description Of one of the
chambers the party entered. After
journeying for a mile and quarter
through the underground passages
Stokes and his party found them
selves in ''long but rather narrow
chamber, the walls of which are not
limestone, but a yellOwish brown and
black iron ore" This chamber beats
Sinbad's magnetic mountain, which
drew all the magnetic nails from his
ship, and thus caused it to fall to
pieces, all hollow. Listen to Mr..
Stokes: upon entering this cham
ber we noticed a most peculiar dis
turbance of the magnet, the needle
constantly vibrating from side to side,
and frequently whirling around for a
minute at a time with velocity
which rendered it invisible. We also
experienced a singular sensational
sort of chill appearing to commence
at the back of the neck and extend
ing to the very tips of our fingers
and toes. AS we advanced in this
chamber we found these singular sen
sations to increase in intensity until
it became almost unbearable. We
ventured on still further however,
though it became evident that we
could not long remain in this mys-
terious place. l omitted to mention
that the walls and floors of this
chamber, especially particular rocks
therein contained, were highly mag
netic, and became more so the farther
we advanced toward the north. One
of the party who carried hatchet
had it suddenly wrested from him by
a magnetic rock near which he
passed, and the combined strength of
four of us was insufficient to detach
it. A pocket-knife, which accidental
ly dropped to the floor, had to remain
there, none of the party having suf-
ficient strength in his fingers to pick
it up. Mason, who had put on for
the occasion a pair of miners boots,
the soles of which were filed with
nails, could walk with difficulty, and
happening to step upon a portion of
the floor unusually magnetic found
himself suddenly affixed thereto and
unable to move. He was compelled
to withdraw his feet from his boots
and leave them there, tearing up his
coat and wrapping the pieces around
his feet to protect them from being
cut by the rocks. We had remained
in this chamber about ten minutes
when suddenly the chilling sensation
began to increase, the feeling being
as if a cold and piercing wind was
blowing upon us, and becoming each
moment more intensely cold. We
hastily retreated and soon reached,
feeling more dead than alive, the large
chamber containing the hot spring.
We then retraced our steps along the
twine, and in a couple of hours
emerged from the cave

A TerribIe case of Lunacy.

From the New York Tribune, 20th.l
A remarkable case of lunacy has
Just been made known in Green Viii
lage, n. j., by the death of Charles
Crowell, at the age of 40, who had
been a raving maniac for over 40
years. He was kept chained to the
floor of his home, and would never
allow clothing to be put on him. He
was confined in a small apartment
made for his use. No furniture was
IN the room, the only thing in it be-
ing straw. His mother took care of
him for the first Is years, and during
that time he tore to pieces over 100
bedquilts which she made for him.
At times he would be perfectly harm
less, and would allow his mother and
sister to stay in his room and feed
him. But for months he would pace
his small room and no one dared ven
ture near him. In his room was a
very small window, through which
food and water were given him.
Sometimes he would not eat for a
week; at other times enough food
could not be given him to satisfy his
vOracity. His mother died from the
great burden, and his sister took care
of him. She, too, died after some
years, from the constant care and
anxiety with which she watched him.
Lately his neice, Mrs. Burt, has cared
for him. The most remarkable fact
in connection with the case was that
just before he died his mind was
clear and he called an attendant by
name.

Summer Rains.
BY W. H. C. -HosMEE.

What sounds so sweet,
After day of fiery heat,
And sunstroke in the dusty street,
AS the pleasant voice of the singing rain
Dashing against the window pane?
The queenly rose
And vassal flowers their eyes unclose,
While God, his benisOn bestows;
And the sick man dreams of health
again,
Cured by the dance of the dropping rain.
The bubbles break,
While showers descend on the breezy
And the water nymphs from slumber
wake;
HOmeward driving his harvest vain,
The farmer breads the cooling rain.
The Plague Fiend stops
In his dread career to hear the drops;
Then, farmer, why mourn DER your
crops?
True faith sublime ne'er learned in vain
On the power that sends us the heating
rain.
1t bringeth cure 50
To the blistered feet of the starving poor,
And their hearts are strengthened toen-
dure;
While Woe, in love with life again,
His not brow bears to the welcome rain.
Of murmuring shells,
And the silvery chime of fairy bells,
Were never born such music spells
To cheer the visionary brain
OF listening bard as the Summer rain.
1t caughtits chime
Not in this fading realm of time,
But above--above in hOlier cline;
And | ever heard an angels strain
Blend with the dash of Summer rain.
