In 0berammergau, a village Of
South Bavaria, there dwells man
by the name of MAR who repre-
Sents Christ every Holy Week in
the performance of the Gross School
for which the village is famous.
Herr Mair was specially exempted
from serving during the last war in
order that he might keep up his
peaceful character for the annual
Easter display He keeps cows.
Previous to every Easter, Herr
Mair fustigates and mortifes the
flesh by fasting and frequenting as
siduously the church; and he would
not dream of stepping upon the
stage of 0berammergau without
having first taken communion. The
actors in this Passion Play are all
the crack citizens, and what with
their doings, a good deal of music
and special biblical frescoes drawn
upon ad hoe, the performances at
tract crowds of peasants and even
curious strangers from foreign
countries, Adam and Eve, Cain
and Abel, st. Pierre and Judas l
are caryers-in-wood by profession.
Abraham, learned in goats, makes
a speciality Of chamOis, Sarah, his
wife, being a water-carrier, Pontius
PLATE, off the stage, sells coffee;
but in their everyday life these
personages do not pass under the
biblical names and costumes which
they don during the Holy Week.
The Kings and Queens of Bavaria
have long made it a point of honor
and faith to attend, and the present
sovereign, Ludwig II, is always on
hand to see the show, having given
a magnificent and colossal cross to
the Passion-players. Under the
severe eyes looking on from the dis
tance of Berlin, the whole jambo-
rec is set down as a superstition Of
the grossest kind, more beftting
Spain than Germania; indeed,
many strict Prussians have sworn
that it shall soon be wiped out. The
Bayarian peasants, however, who
are its supporters, swear equally
that it shall continue in homage to
the sovereign of their heart.-PiO

son away from college; had de-
frauded her since her arrival in this
city; had broken up her business
on Central avenue, near Seventh,
had, altogether, made her poorer by
at least ten thousand dollars, and
latterly was continually persecut-
ing her in various ways. She also
stated that he had repeatedly
threatened her life. She was at
tempting to educate her son for the
law at Ann Arbor, and Gaspard
was doing all he could to prevent
it. He also, she says, succeeded in.
once inyeigling her son into a gam
bling-house, whore he lost consider
able money. In short, she tried to
make it appear that the man either
wants to run her out of town" or
to compromise the old quarrel in
such fashion as to avoid the posi-
bility of exposures which she at
present has it in her power to make.
Puthoff, she AYERS, is certainly the
same George Gaspard, and she in
tends to have him placed under
bond, as she believes her life in
danger from him.
Mr.. Puthoff informed us that the
story is true, with the following i'm
portant exceptions: He is not of
German extraction, but was born
in Kentucky, and he never resided
in Thionville, France, or travelled
under aliases. He has been in
Mexico, California, all of the South
ern States, and even resided for
some years among the Ohoctaws
and Seminoles, but was never in
Europe. He never had a situation
as organist at st. AIMS Church, in
New York, nora at any other church; !;
and he never played upon an organ
or any other musical instrument in
his life. In fact, he knows nothing
about music, and has no music in
his soul. He never borrowed 1900
francs from Madame Baise to buy
a "peeano," and never met Madame
Baise until she met him yesterday
on Race street and commenced to
belabor him. He believes that the
woman is slightly deranged, and
mistook him for some one else who
may have really ill-treated her in
the fashion alleged. She slashed
Puthoff quite severely with her Ro-
man rods, raising large welts upon
the right side Of his face and the
back of his neck. 1t is not the
first time, we are told, that Madame
Baise has made similar disturbances,
and yenerable-looking gentlemen
who pass by the northwest corner
Of Fourth and Plum streets must
beware lest they should be mistaken
for whilom gay Lotharios.
That she is mistaken. as to Put
hof'S identity we have no doubt.
He was much annoyed at the oc-
currence. He seems to think she
has been badly treated by somebody
for whom she has mistaken him.

San Francisco News Letter,
The imam bug" is the name of a
most peculiar and outre specimen
of the insect creation-if insect it
be-that can now be seen at the
News Letter office. This remark
able curiosity reached here on We'd
nesday last off the bark William K.
DAILY, and was given to Henry
Odger, the first mate of that vessel,
by the natives of a small island
called Iwiwee or Iwiwau, lying some
sixty miles south of the Samoan
group. The creature has a body of
a dark green color, notified with
yellow Or orange colored spots. This
is about five inches long by two and
a half broad, of a beetle shape and
terminating at the head in pair of
very red and vicious.looking eyes
and two horny mandibles of like
color and decidedly snappish APP
pearance. 1t has no appearance of
wings. It's most peculiar feature,
however, is single pair of spidery
legs attached to the lower end Of its
body. These are about twelve or
fourteen inches in length and sin
gularly resemble those Of a man in
regard to the number Of joints and
the fact that it stands bolt upright
on them. The creature stands some
foot and a half high, walks with a
long, crane-like stride, and is like
nothing so much as an immense
June bugon stills. It's only known
food is mice, and these, when in
troduced into the large bird-cage
that confines it, it seizes with sud
den flash of its foot OF claw and dis
patches yoraciously. Messrs. Ed
wards, Dickson and other "bug
sharps" who have seen it are totally
unable to classify or place it. This
rara avis can be seen at this Office
until Friday next. On Saturday it
goes East in the care of DR.. Hell
merding, through whom it will be
sent to Professor Henry, at the
Smithsonian Institute at Washing.

the same rank among the nations
Of the globe. Gen, Prado, President
elect Of Peru, has met with no Off
cial greeting whatever in this
country, but over Dom Pedro, En-
peror of Brazil, a tremendous
splurge is to be made. The differ
enee in the welcome of the two men
does not arise from the fact that
Americans care more for Brazil as
nation than they do for Peru, but
from the circumstance that the
former is an Empire and the latter
only a simple Republic. The en-
thusiasm Of the American people
over Republican institutions does
not lead them to go crazy over the
visiting Presidents of neighboring
Republics, but their admiration for
kings and emperors is sufficient to
give those gentlemen a royal recep-

A late number Of the Auckland Herald says
Colonel Steinberger, who has resided here for
some months past, and whose case has excited a good
deal Of attention, left yesterday by the Hero for Mel
bourne en- route for London by the Suez steamer.
We shall no doubt hear more Of the Colonel, who will
probably have something 10 say TO the authorities In
London. Unless, however, his case is taken Mp By
the American Government, OF which there seems 10
be considerable doubt, be will probably not be able
to make much out Of the Eoglsh authorities. The
Admiralty. however, 10 likely 10 look much more se-
riously upon the conduct Of Captain Stevens, OF the
Barracoufa, in committing such an indiscretion AZ
to get into a conflict with the Samoans, which led TO
the death Of several OF his men. Colonel Steinbcrger
will. ia all likelihood, be an important witness Ia tie
inquiry which must be held"
After speaking Of the temperate and fall &C
count" Of the Samoa difficulty which was presented
in the COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER, the Herald goes on
to say
"Apart from its merits there are other features
which make Us regret exceedingly that an English
ship Of war should have interfered at all. The seiz-
ure Of personal property and papers, their sale Ia
some cases and retention In others. the Imprisonment
without trial aud the subsequent landing on a foreign
shore, make IL to be desired that Consul Foster ha1
found one Of his own ships Of war 10 do the work
which Captain Stevens 90 unaccountably rushed In
to perform. Colonel Steinberger has preserved @
rigid silence throughout. Probably he does not con.
slider il necessary 10 vindicate his conduct 10 any but
his own government, aud Of this he Is OF course the
best Judge. We must be content 10 wait for news
from England and America, and hear what action
the Colonel has taken there. In the meantime we
may safely say that there IL evidently much that
needs explanation In the conduct Of Captain Stevens
and Of the United States Consul, with reference not
only TO the first seizure. bat TO the subsequent treat
