THE SOUND OF THE BELL.-During
the reign of the plague in the Holy City
the monks of a certain monastery were
called upon to attend the death beds of
the dying They felt great alarm, but
did not shrink from this duty; though
for its performance they chose plan
most sadly we'll for bringing down upon
them the very death which they were
striving to ward off. They imagined
themselves almost safe, so long as they
remained within their walls; when their
services were required, therefore, a sim
gle monk was chosen, either by lot, or
by some other fair appeal to destiny;
being thus singled out, he was to go
forth into the plague stricken city, and
to perform with exactness his oriestly
duties; then he was to return, not to the
interior of the convent, for fear of in
fecting his brethren, but to detached
building (which Iremember) belonging
to the establishment, but at some little
distance from the inhabited rooms; he
was provided with bell, and at a GER
tain hour in the morning he was to ring
it, if he could; but if no sound was
heard at the appointed time, then knew
his brethren that he was either delirious
or dead, and another was sent to take
his place. In this way twenty-one Of
the monks were carried off. One cannot
we'll fail to admire the steadiness with
which the dismal scene was carried
through; but If there be any truth in
the notion that disease may be invited
by frightened imagination, it is diff
cult to conceive more dangerous plan
than that which was chosen by those
poor fellows.

BAvARIAN SUPERsTITIoNs.-A large
proportion of the Bavarian peasantry
unfortunately entertain the supersti-
tious notion that fire kindled by light
ming is not to be extinguished. When
such an accident happens they are dis
couraged, and do hardly anything to
check the progress of the flames. A
funeral must never pass through titled
field, not even in the winter, though it
might considerably shorten the way.
The peasant is. fully persuaded that
field through which a funeral passes
becomes barren. Except on extraor-
dinary occasions, no funerals are allow
ed on Mondays and Fridays. A peasant
who is in search of wife never goes,
except on Thursday or Sunday, into
the house where he expects to make his
choice. The bride and bridegroom are
not to give their bare hands to anybody.
on the day of their marriage, except to
each other at the altar; otherwise they
are threatened with poverty during the
whole course of their union. It is also
a very bad sign if when the bride re-
turns from church, she finds anybody
on the threshold of her door. When a
young girl finds leaf trefon divided
into four, instead of three, parts-it is
Q sign that she will be/married within
q year. At all events, she carefully
preserves this~feaf until her wedding
day. On Christmas eve the countrymen
are accustomed to drive out great deal
in sNdges. They think that this will
csdse their hemp to be more abundant
and hiQh They do not fail to visit
the ale-house, and to drink heartily the
same evening-being convinced that
this is the way to make them look well
till the following Christmas. They
never destroy crickets by fire-being
persuaded that those which escape will
destroy their linen and clothes. When
peasant loses his way in the wood
alter sunset, he avoids calling to any
person to show him the way-being
convinced that in any case the evil spirit
o. the forest would cause him to plunge
still deeper into its recesses.

Did anybody ever hear a gushing
young lady tell what she thought about
anything extraordinary? Well, that's
nothing to what they write. We have
analysed short story written by one of
them, and find that ''splendid" occurs
6S times; beautiful" n: delightful"
81; "nice." GIL; and "lovely," 63. OF
course her theme was courtship.

FIaURATIvEIY SPEAKING.-Progress
is reported at the Greenwich Observa-
tory in reducing the observations made
on the last transit of Venus. Two of
the recent calculations made required
the use of 5000, 900 figures. The French
attempts at obtaining new figures for
the suns distance by the study of the
photographs taken during the transit,
have been reported as turning out bad
ly; it is even doubted whether the pho
tographs can be used at all for this cal
culation. Better results are hoped for
at Washington from the photographs
taken by the American expeditions.

The Thirteenth and Eighteenth regi-

The Thirteenth and Eighteenth regi-
ments of infantry, now in the east, have
been ordered out west, and several
companies are to be stationed at Co.
rhine, the rest going to Montana.
Companies B. D, H and 1, of the
Third Infantry, under command of
Captain Penrose, left Corinne on the
9Th on the march for Missoula, Mon
tana. They were accompanied by
numberless wagons, containing the
worldly goods and effects of the soldiers
and provisions for consumption on the
road. Saturday at noon the remaining
troops of this regiment also struck tent
and started on their way to Helena.
The Montana road from Corinne is said
by freighters to be in a terribly cut
up condition and a foot deep in dust.
This being the case the soldiers will get
a benefit marching over it.

The cenlas iad,as pslicy.

1t Is authentically announced that
the present administration will pursue
the policy of peace which was estab-
lished by Gen. Grant toward the In
dams nine years ago. Commissioner
Hay says that there are some re-
forms to be instituted and some amend
ments to be made to the old policy, but
that in the main it will be unchanged.
The reds will be treated with human
ity- and firmness. When they agree to
certain measures those measures will
be carried out promptly and thoroughly.
When they promise the government to
move from one reservation to another
in July, they will.move in July and not
In August. This seems to be the new
commissioners position in the matter.
1t will be remembered that under the
old regime it was proposed to transfer
the Sioux to the Indian territory, as
well as many of the other tribes of the
northwest. This proposition has been
abandoned under the new order of
things. a permanent home for the
Sioux will be set apart for them be-
tween the White river and Big Chey-
enne. This region is healthful, fertile
and abounds with excellent water, tim
Der and game. On the Yakima reser-
walton, which is a beautiful land in
Washington territory, will be placed
some of the other wild tribes of the
northwest. There will also be quite a
large transfer of Indians from Arizona,
Nevada, New Mexico and Colorado tc
the Uinta reservation in Utah. The
balance of the wild tribes will be placed
in the Indian territory, where there are
millions of acres at present unoccu'
pied. This seems to be the present pol
icy in regard to the location of the In
dams, and il accomplished will save
millions of dollars in transportation o.
troops and provisions and will enable
the government to regulate its system
of management with greater effec'
than ever before.

Last Monday morning, as the east
bound passenger train reached n point
near Rawlins, five men were discovered
on top of one of the passenger coaches.
The train was stopped, and the con-
ductor ordered the men to get off.
They replied by ordering the train to
proceed, and pulling revolyers. The
conductor persisting in his demands,
and threatening to have them removed,
the men fired several harmless shots at
him. The conductor retreated to the
car, and ordering out the train men
and procuring the assistance of several
passengers, the men were finally cowed
and alighted on the prairie, where they

pony, and, according to the size of her
back, carries as much as the beast.
She agrees with her lord that it is de-
grading for him to labor. His sphere
is to hunt and go on the chase, and tell
of his powers Mt the ~war-dance. Her
sphere is to carry a large key of water
ON her back, or huge bundle Of wood
held on by straps. She cuts all the
wood and does it well, as we know from
personal observation. Her feet and
hands are not small. She paints her
cheek a deeper color perhaps than her
white sister, and the part of her hair
also. We have seen just Dc beautiful
Indian maiden, a Minneliaha, whose
dusky beauty would fill a poem of ro-
nance. She had large, soft eyes, an
exquisitely cut nose, fine and delicate,
| and perfect teeth. 1t was beauty un-
adorned, for her surroundings were the
log room of the Agency, full of Indians,
bacon, corn meal, brown sugar, coffee
and hard tack. 1t was mi of the "a
ton days, and the performance had the
charm of novelty to the civilized eyes,
heightened by the presence of this one
brown beauty among so much ugliness
and dirt. The women are not as
friendly rs the men; they look at the
pale face coldly and distrustfully,
though not with envy, for it is evident
they feel pity as well rs contempt fol-
our civilized customs. They ride their
ponies astride like the men, and they
laugh derisively ut the riding-skirts and
one-sided appearance of the white
squaw.
