With many curses on the head of thu
Thunderer, as the author of his misfor
tune, the serpent took the trail of the re-
treating Indians and started away in hot
pursuit.
The maiden still loved her people, and
when she saw the serpent moving on to
effect their further destruction she ap-
pealed to her husband to arrest him.
HernO was not deaf to her entreaties, and
so he stepped forth from his hiding-place
and launched kissing bolt after the SER
pent which struck him just as he was en-
deavOring to cross the narrows some dis
lance above the falls.
The wound produced was a fatal one,
and the great monster hoated down the
stream and lodged upon the verge of the
cataract, stretching nearly from shore to
shore. The swift waters were damned
up by the obstruction but they finally
broke through the rocks behind, and
thus the whole top of the falls upon
which the snake rested were precipitated
with it into the abyss below, excepting
a small portion, which is now known as
Goat island.
1t almost entirely ruined the home of |
the Thunderer-for it reduced the great
space behing the waters to very narrow |
compass. He still Occupiesit as sleeping |
apartment; however, and you may now
hear him snoring under there, if you
stand on the shore but if he would ex-
ercise himself in his favorite pastime, of
throwing thunderbelts, he is forced to
come forth into the space less limited.
Unreasonable as this myth may sound
there can be no doubt but that the
5enecas believe every word of it. When
they were to be met within the Niagara
country. they pointed out a place near
he mouth Of the Cayuga creek, where
he banks were shelved out in a semicir-
'ular form, and declared that it had been
lone by the serpent in his death-throes,
tfter having been wounded by Hernos {
And to this tradition may
e attributed their custom of putting
way their dead upon scaffoIds above I
round, instead ofburying them. f

Myriads of crickets have been derr.

..Myriads of crickets have been depre-
dating in Nevada. The Elko Independ-
ent says of their ravages: "Some weeks
ago rancher in the valley, who has a
water-ditch around his place, harvested a
crop of four hundred and fifty bushels of
crickets by driving them into the water
and scoOping them into a sack. We con-
sldered that rather a solid cricket story,
but from Bull Run basin we learn that
1t is a common thing for them to eat up
all the wooden clothes they can get hold
of and artisticalIy pile the buttons in
one place, arranging them in rows ac-
cOrding to size. On one occasion resi-
dent Of the latter place got full and
lay down on the side of the mountain to
sun. In about an hour his friends insti-
tuted search for him, and found him
bleaching in the sun with nothing but a
paper collar to protect him from the
heat. The crickets had eaten off all his
even to his boots"

SOME OF THE BEAUTIES IN AR1zov4

An eastern gentleman engaged il
mining in Arizona has written TO 6
friend, giving an account of the difficult
ties under which mining operations are
prosecuted in that territory. He says:
The amount of progress I make
seems to me small, but you can have no
idea Of the difficulties which have to be
constantly met and overcome. The Ia
Dor here is very unreliable, and it IS
hard to get days work for days pay,
and there is strong feeling of jealousy
between the whites and the Mexicans
which is hard to overcome. The weather
is hot beyond belief Never, I think
less than 800 in the shade, and from that
up to 1902. There is no lumber in the
country, and all the building has to be
done with cottonwood poles, and hauled
five miles on jackasses to the mine. In
addition, [ have had to pack water five
miles, as we have had no rain, and the
tanks at the mines are exhausted We
have now killed three rattlesnakes in the
house, besides any quantity of scorpions,
etc. In opening my trunk, I was stung
in the finger by a scorpion. l bound a
pouItice Of onions and tobacco on the
wound, and drank three full pints of
whisky. 1t made me very drunk, and
think it killed the other poison, although
my whole hand and arm were numb for
a day or two. 1t is pretty hard coun-
try, and three men have already died of
thirst near here. Ny last letters were
sent here from the--mine (only four
5een miles distant) by an old Scotch
nan. The letters did not arrive, and we
searched for him and found him dead
'nly four miles from camp. He was
stripped, and his nails were worn from
lis hands by scratching in the sand for
water. We have sent out twice and
brought in men who were crazy and
hind and Ispeechless from thirst. The
un is terribly hot, and the rocks so hot
hat they blister the flesh if touched.
You can hardly realize what a country
is, nor how expensive it is, as we'll as
ard work, to accomplish much. Trans
more than anything else, is
he great bugbear. I

THE HIGH And THE HANDr STYLE.

Francis jeffrey, the celebrated critic,
had, even in conversation, an artificial
style and language, which were fit only
for books and small circle of learned
friends. His diction and pronunciation.
it is said, were unintelligible to the mas
OF his countrymen, and in the house OF
commons offensive and ridiculous. An
anecdOte told in illustration of this
popularity strikingly shows the supe-
riority of simple to highfown Language
in the practical business of life. In
trial, which turned upon the intellectual
competency of testator, Jeffrey asked
a witness "a plain countryman) whether
the testatOr was imam of intellectual
capacity :" "anintelligent, shrewd mani
"a man of capacityT' "Had he ordinary
mental endowments ?'' "What dye
mean, sir % asked the witness. 81 meaD'
answered Jeffrey, "was the man Of
sufficient ordinary intelligence to qualify
him to manage his own affairsT =

mystifed witness, "wad ye say the Quf'
ton over again, sir?" Jeffrey being
batied, Cockburn took up the exam
nation. He said: aye kennel

we were laddies." "Was there anything
