In a little hollow globe bounded by
a skull, with dome no larger than a
tortoise shell, dwells that nameless
and immortal power which we call
mind. Out from underneath this
dome have gone in gloomy or shin
ing procession all thoughts that men
ever thought. Within this wonderful
chamber all melodies that men have
ever penned upon the listening air
have first sounded. From this land
locked harbor all ships whose prows
searched for new lands and undi5-
covered seas have sailed. Within
this shop all curious inventions have
been wrought out. Here poetry has
strung her tuneful Tyre, and history,
with whitened head, labored pa
tiently at her accommodating scroll.
Here religion has found an altar, and
piety place to kneel. And finest of
all, and most TO be wondered at,
within these chambers, which the
mind calls home, dwells Imagination
she OF the darling eye and audac-
ious foot, and sees with unfiinching
orbs the the glories OF the far realms
where fish have never entered, and
men walk, as if by right divine, the
crystal pavement and the golden
street."

the doomed mosque is a tree growing
over some great mans grave, which
is surrounded by ratings. There are
legends and superstitions concerning
this celebrated place. but / had not
time to collect any that would be
worth relating. 1t is visited by num-
erous pilgrims. "Backsheesh," of
course, is in great request by the
we'll dressed Arabs as well as the
ragged. Jiddah is clean, fine look
ing town at distance; but on a
nearer approach the illusion will be
dispelled, and many aromas mot of
ambergris or burned sandal wood,
powerful as a soap factory, assail the
nose. This gets worse as one lands,
but there is no time to waste think
ing Of such a trifle, for sharp watch
has to be kept on the NANCY, opthal-
mic dogs, who amuse themselves by
barking and swapping at the legs OF
any one who makes use OF soap and
water. At night it is necessary fol-
Europeans to carry light and a
good stick, a well-planted blow from
the latter doing wonders in warning
off dogs.

An exciting fight between the cow
and cow-catcher took place at Colo
RADIO Springs, so exciting that a
school near by had to be let out TO
allow the boys and girls to watch the
contest The Denver Tribune tells
the story:
Soon after the splendid locomotive
"Greenhorn" left the depot at Colo
RADIO Springs for Denver. several
head OF cattle were discovered upon
the track, advancing upon the train.
The whistle gave the warning scream,
when all hurried from the road ex-
cept an old and venerable appearing
cow OF the Texas family, who after
bracing herself firmly in the center
OF the track in a defiant attitude,
commenced paving up the earth and
challenging the wild scream Of the
whistle with loud believing respir-
alton.
The engineer seeing the hostile at
titude Of the old cow, Immediately
took the precaution to bring his
locomotive under easy control. The
whistle gave forth its most appalling
screams. But there, calm and firm,
stood the old COW with her horns
thrown downward and forward, ready
for a struggle which was to deter
mine the right Of way.
At length the faItering and hest
tating locomotive had crept up with
in few feet OF the beast, and was in
the act OF coming to halt, she with a
below charged full upon the cow
catcher, and the long passenger train
was brought to halt.
Now commenced the struggle In
earnest. The locomotive commenced
rolling forward, and the COW was
forced backward, with a tenacious
scraping of her hoofs upon the froz en-
earth, until reaching firmer footing,
when the locomotive again gave way
and fell back, apparently to gather
new force. At length, the combat
ants having reached an icy spot OF
ground. the whistle gave its widest
scream of triumph, the throttle. valve
was thrown open. and the old COW
was thorou ghly vanquished.

Something Wrong.

The Plainfield Reform school must
be under miserable management IL a
writer In the Indianapolis Herald is
to be credited, who says that the
boys are more likely TO be abused
than treated kindly, and gives it as an
opinion that the school is more likely
to turn boys into criminals than to
reform them. There is unquestion-
ably something wrong in this institu-
ton, or such charges would not be
made with such boldness. There has
always been a suspicion that the in
stitution was a fraud OF the first
water, and that it would be likely to
turn out criminals made from materi-
al which might have been led into
correct habits il given chance. Our
present impression is that the Reform
school should no longer be main
tanned as a public school. but that il
be turned over to some Squeers who
will privately carry it on as a Dothe-
boys hall

A Groues Filtration.

In the breeding season. the cocks
select some hollow fallen tree, and
strutting up and down. beat it with
their wings, making muffied, drum
ming sound, that can be heard for
a half mile. The beat is at irregular
intervals, beginning slowly and
gradually increasing in quickness,
until in ends In a roll. II the bird
succeeds in finding dry log, per-
fectly hollow and well placed, his
tattoo OF welcome can be heard a
mile. and is one Of the pleasantest
woodland sounds. 1t has the same
accelerated pace. and is about the
Same duration as the call OF the rae
coon, and is only heard i'm the day
time, as the raccoon's is only heard
at night. When its mate hears the
drumming. she slowly approaches,
and, coquetishly picking at seeds she
does not want, comes within sight OF
OF the drumming-log. No maiden is
seemingly more unconscious OF the
man she desires to attract than is
this russell dame of her gallant
musician. A snail is on the May
apple plant right before her; she
pecks at it three times before hitting
it, and then scratches negligently at
imaginary seeds. The cock raises
his ruff till it looks like Queen Eliza
befh's; the yellow skin beneath
Pushes with pride; he spreads his tafi
like fan; he thrums his guitar,
cluoks an Introductory welcome or
two. and launch himself out and
flies to his bride. II, however, an
other cock hears the drumming, he
feels insulted at the sound on what
he considers his own domain. He
flies to the drumming log and dashes
at the brave drummer, and the one
who Is inferior in courage and
strength yields his place to the bold
er. and retires discomflted.-Sc Serb.

ia They went to separate hotels.
One registered as physician. and
advertised a remedy for cholera. The
other put up alarge quantity OF yeast
powders into sample packages, with
a little croton oil in each, and hired a
boy to distribute them. Soon family
after family, affected by the croton
oil, felt what they believed were
symptoms OF cholera. The sale of the
cholera remedy was enormous, and
the gamblers were enabled to go to
California. They now tell the story
through the Virginia City Enterprise.

The Arabs claim that Ewes tomb is
at Jiddah, the seaport of Mecca. The
temple with a palm growing out Of
its center Is supposed to mark the
place where Ewes head rests, and a
doomed mosque is believed to be ex-
actly over her womb. According to the
Arabs. the lady measured 200 feet In
height, but, judging by the dimen-
sions of her tomb it would seem that
the Ishmalites much underrate her
real length. Arabs, however, are
very bad judges of distance, and
nearly always have horror of tell
ing the truth. The sacred ground
which is pretty thickly studded with
tombstones OF departed Sheilxs and
other worthless, is enclosed by q high
white wall; few small shrubs and
aloe plants struggle for existence

An now there comes q startling
story from Michigan City in which
Senator Winterbottom is mixed up.
1t is stated that the illustrious Sena-
tor received a communication inform
ing him that an article OF five columns
was in type, to be printed in the Re-
form Journal, rejecting very severe
ly on his conduct. It looks very
much As II the noble Senator under

forms, in a great measure destroying
the Office. Then q Min law OF the
great Senator caned the editor, who
Is a scallawag preacher by the name

an aggravated case of bulldozing on
the part Of the Honorable Senator.

been connected, In the capacity of

and was reported to have accumu-
lated galore Of gold by the honest

hear that five pied columns OF the Re-

would like very much to see how the

preposterous charge. Senator
