Horseshoe JeweIry.

It is remarkable how old-time super.
stitions crop out now and then, and
take root in the public mind. At pres
ent the "lucky horseshoe" is the favor
ite emblem, appearing in nearly every
device to which it can be adapted ire
spective of the horses hoof. Horse
shoe pins in gold, bronze, or oxydized
metal, are worn as ornaments by men
and women alike. Small looking
glasses, framed in imitation horse-shoes
of gutta percha or some other materi-
al, are in great demand, and in some
instances real horse-shoes, gilt, are
used as frames. Most bar rooms have
a horseshoe nailed up somewhere, and
the old women who sell newspapers at
corner tables prefer horse-shoes to
bricks for paper weights. The original
notion Of the talismanic properties of
the horseshoe arose from the SUPPOSE
ton than an evil spirit in traversing it
is sure to fy off at one Of the ends,

Horrible Execution of a Woman,

The Japanese have, of late years,
been SO repeatedly paraded as models
of what progressive oriental people
should be, and they have imported with
such avidity the customs, laws, litera-
ture and languages of more civilized
lands, that possibly, taking them at
their own estimate, we may have learn
ed to expect too much from them. At
all events, the following account, from
the Hiogo Herald, of the execution of
woman, suggests doubt whether the
shiploads of professors, the cargoes OF
books and the returning Europeanized
Japanese students, which have from
time to time been dispatched from the
old world, have ever reached the land
of the rising sun. 1t seems that wo-
m an living in the neighborhood OF
Hiogo, desirous of getting rid of her
husband, poisoned him. For this
crime she was executed by being drawn
to pieces by four bullocks. This scene,
as described by the correspondent, was
frightful, and the beasts, more merciful
than their masters, 'could only be
brought to do their fearful work when
maddened by pain and terror from re-
peated blows and the application OF
wisps of burning straw"

An Incident Of ReYrOut.

One of the most pathetic instances Of
pure Orientalism that ever came to my
knowledge is related as a positive fact.
While the children of the Abeih school
were playing together one day at recess,
two small girls fell into pleasant dis
pute about the size of a certain object
-plaything, perhaps. One said, ooh,
it way so Very little p and the other
asked, "How little ?" Then the mis-.
sionary looked out of the window and
heard her answer, "Why, little wee
thing" Then the other pressed hei
still further, "Well, how little ?" tc
which the girl replied, unconscious oi
the poetry or the pathos of her com
parison, "As little as was the joy o.
my father on the day ! was born r"

From Want or Bread.

"At the close of bitter cold day
When the snow on the frozen ground lay,
A poor woman's child rrs
With face wan and mild,
In garret was passing away.
Gaunt hunger,
Dread hunger.
Had stolen the bloom from his cheek,
And his mother sat there,
With look Of despair,
To catch what her darling might speak.
Come closer dear mother, he said.
And lay your soft hand on my head,
And tell me once more,
OF that other bright shore,
Where we never shall hunger for bread
Hush, darling,
Peace, darling.
She raised him to lull him to rest,
And she brushed the soft hair
From his forehead 30 fair,
But he died as he lay on her breast.
The morning broke joyous and clear,
Twas the first Of the opening year;
But the shouts Of gay boys,
And the cannons rude noise,
Fell unheard on that poor mothers ear.
Oh hear it
Oh heed it !
Ye wealthy, well clothed, and well fed,
In that season Of joy,
A mother and her boy,
Had perished for the want Of bread"

4 Mountain Home.

On a bright Sunday We descended
towards the course of the Tuckaseege,
Jackson County, North Carolina and
violent storm delayed us at q lowly
cabin, near the path by which now and
then visitor penetrates to Tuckaseege
cataract. According to the custom of
the country, we hastily carried our sad
dies into the porch and sat down on
them to talk with the residents. The
tall, lean, sickly farmer, clad in home
spun pair of trowsers and flax shirt,
with the omnipresent gray slouched
hat, minus rim, drawn down over his
forehead, courteously greeted us, and
volunteered to direct us to the falls,
though he "was powerfully efeard OF
snakes" Buttermilk and biscuit were
served, and we conversed with the
farmer on his condition. He cultivated
small farm, like most of the neighbors
in moderate circumstances only grew
corn enough for his own support
"didn't reckon he should stay thar
long warn't no schools, and he reckon
ed his children needed larnin' schools
never was handy; too many miles
away" There was very little money in
all the region round about farmers
rarely saw fifty dollars in cash from
year to year the few things which they
needed from the outside world they got
by barter. The children were, as 6
rule, mainly occupied in minding the
numerous pigs about the cabin, and
caring for stock. The farmer thought
sheep raising would be "powerfu
peart," if folks had little more capita
to begin on thought man might gel
well-to-do in year or two by such in
vestment. He welcomed the minera
movement gladly; reckoned maybe We
would send him some one to buy his
farm, and let him get to more thickly
settled region but seemed more cheer
full when we suggested that emigranti
might come in and settle up the
country, bringing demand for schools
with them. "He reckoned there warn
no Ku-Klux these days-never knew
nothin' on 'em. Heerd nothin' furdel
from 'em since the breakup"
The housewife was smoking her corn
cob pipe, and sitting rather disconsolate
ly before the fire place, warming he,
thin hands by the few Goals remaining
in the ashes. The rain dripped il
through the roof, and the children wer,
huddled mutely together where it coult
not reach them. The furnishings were
as everywhere among the poorer classe
in the mountains, of the plainest char
acter. But the log barns were ampl,
provisioned stock looked well, and
few sheep and goats were amicabl,
grouped under the shed.

CHEAP L1v1Na.-A gentleman who

milk, II cents; dry crackers, 80 cents;
eggs, IL cents; coffee, 10 cents; butter,
8 cents; salt, l cent; grand total, 1.40.

Bazaine,s AccompIices.

PARIS, Sept 1.-THE trial of accomplices in
the escape of Marshal Bazaine, was concluded
at Grasse to-day. M. Lachand, defending
Col. Vlllette, said his clients conduct in the
matter was the most honorable incident of his
career. Col Villette was a type of chivalrous
devotion to his chief. The counsel then pro-
ceeded to examine the evidence in regard to
cordance with the account given by Madame
Bazaine.
The judge delivered a lengthy explanatory
Judgment. He considered the escape by the
rope proved, but declared that Col. Villette as
sisted in the preparations. The wardens were
adjudged guilty of negligence. Rull, one of
the accused who has not been arrested and who
did not appear for trial. was condemned in
contumaciam to ten months Imprisonment, Col.
Vlllette and Plantin were sentenced to six
months, 'Donvean to two months, and Grougex
to one month imprisonment.
