Wonders of the Waters.

Among the most wonderful fish to be
found in the world is the blind Proteus,
which is found only in the subterranean
lakes of Krain, in Austria, Six fine
specimens of this creature have just
been received at the Aquarium i'm New
York city, with consignment Of sub
marine wonders from Europe, and with
proper care it is hoped they will live
for considerable time. In color they
are yellowish pink, which, however, on
exposure to light, becomes mottled and
subsequently turns to dark brown.
They have long fiat heads and four
short slender legs, the fore feet ending
in two nailless toes and the hind feet in
three. Strange to say, coming as they
do out of utter darkness, the creatures
have eyes. They are small, however,
aud are ordinarily completely hidden
beneath the skin. Somewhat similar to
these fish is the Mexican Axoboth, an
other strange creature just received.
Lang Using Yee' is the name Of a
beautifully colored fish, two specimens
of which have just been sent from China.
These are of bright golden yellow,
tipped on the fins with black, and they
have each four lace-iike tails.

Bear Hunting In India.
BY A HUNTER.

The common black sloth- bear of the
plains of India Ursus ldbiatus) is very
plentiful in the hills on either side OF
the Narbada, between Jubbulpur and
Mandla. Indeed, there are few parts
of these highlands where a bear may
not at any time be met with. They are
generally very harmless until attacked,
living on roots, honey and insects,
chiefly white ants, which they dig out
of their hIlocks. The natives call them
adana-zad, or ''sons of men," and con-
sidering them half human, will not as
q rule molest them. Really, their alb
surd antics almost justify the idea.
Sometimes, however, bear will attack
very savagely without provocation-
generally when they are come upon
suddenly, and their road Of escape is
cut of. As rule, in frequented parts
they do not come out of their midday
retreats, in caves and dense thickets,
until nightfall but, in remoter tracts,
they may be met with in the middle of
the day. Twas once charged by four
bears all all at once, which had come
upon near the high road between Jub-
bulphur and Domoh, feeding under q
mhowa tree. 1 had two guns and hit
three OF them, but had to bolt from the
fourth, who chased me about q hun
dred yards, and then dived into 8
rsvine. Returning to the scene of &C.
tion, found one sitting at the foot of
Q tree, bewailing his fate in the most
melancholy whines. and finished him
with ball in the ear. The other two
had gone down the slope of bill, and
I started of to head them. The ground
was rocky and very slippery, and I had
not gone far when fell, my rife slid

Cheap Butter.

Commercial enterprise in England
takes many forms. A soap-boiler, sit.
ting in his counting house short time
since, was waited upon by a drummer,
and was asked what use he made OF
some peculiar refuse from his factory.
"Get rid of it," said the soap boiler,
''in the easiest way can. I generally
pay to have it taken away, and am very
glad to get rid of it on those terms. "
"Well, then, l suppose, said the trav.
eler, "you would have no objection to
let me have it upon a contract for three
years, at a small payment ?' Ser
tainly not" said the soap-boiler, "If
you will guarantee to take it away at
my time" The two came to terms and
the contract was drawn up and signed
in due form. Payment for the first
quarter was made. and over a glass OF
sherry the soap-boiler asked his visitor
out of mere curiosity, what he did with
the rubbish. "Well, in confidence, "
said the traveller, 81 don't mind tell
ing you, We want it to make cheap
butter"

The Thievfng Mania.

DIR. Gall mentions having seen per-
son in prison at FSburg, who had set
fire to his house four times in success
sion. and who, after he had set fire to
it, tried to put it out. Some have an
irresistible desire to steal, without any
other mark of insanity. Gall says that
the first King of Sweden was always
stealing trifies. Instances are mentioned
of German who was constantly pilfer-
ing, and of another who, having the
desire to steal, entered the army, hoping
the severe discipline there would re-
strain him. But he gave way to the
propensity even there, and was very
near being hanged. He then became a
friar, with the same hope; but he still
felt the same desire, and carried all the
things he could to his cell; but as he
could only get trifies, he was not
noticed. Gall also mentions that per-
son at Vienna, in the babit of stealing.
hired a lodging in which to deposit his
thefts; and when he got a stock, he
sold them. He stole only household
matters. The wife of celebrated ply
sician at Leyden never went into a shop
to buy anything without stealing; and
a countess at Frankfort had the same
propensity. Another lady, notwith-
standing all the care with which she
had been brought up, had the same de-
sire to piifer. You will find it related
of physician, that his wife was always
obliged to examine his pockets in the
evening, and restore to his patients the
things she found there. He always
took something as well as his fee.
Meritz speaks of a criminal who, at the
moment he was about to be executed,
stole the confessor's snuff-box. DIR.
Burner, who was one of the physicians
to the King of Bavaria, speaks of per
son who enjoyed abundance, and had
been we'll educated, but who, notwith-
standing, was always stealing; and
was made a soldier by his father, and
at last got hanged. The son of cele-
brated and learned man-himself very
clever, and respectfully connected Ia
every respect-could not resist this
propensity; and could go on to furnish
you with instances without end of in
dividuals who acted thus (as it would
appear from insanity; not from any
criminal motives, but from bold desire
TOO strong for them to resist.

ing away down the hill, to the consid-
cradle damage of its stock and barrels.
I picked myself up, however, and by
dint of hard running arrived above and
parallel to the bears, and commenced a
running fight with them, in which my
chances would have been a good deal
better had had breach instead of a
muzzle loader. At last one of them
came round up the hill at me, rising
on his hind legs, pulling down branches
and dancing and spluttering in so ludi-
crous a manner that 1 could scarcely
shoot for laughter. When / did, he
got both barrels through the chest,
and subsidized. Insver got the other,
as it had sufficient headway to escape
into some hollow rocks near the river
road. A wounded bear will often
charge with great determination. He
comes on like cannon ball and the
popular idea that he will rise on his
hind legs in time to give shot at the
Horseshoe" mark on his chest to PEN
citrate which is fatal, is, rs a rule, a
mistake. But shot, when he Is ten or
fifteen yards off, will nearly always
turn, If it does not kill him. The most
successful way of getting bears is to
get up very early, and go mp to some
commanding position that overlooks
the pathways taken by the animals on
their return from the low ground,
where they go nightly to feed. They
can then either be intercepted or
marked into some cover, and after
wards beaten out. 1t is sport of
which little is great fun; but one
soon tires of it, the animals being gen.
orally so easily killed, and furnishing
neither trophy ian Indian bearskin
being poor affair.", nor food. Most
sportsmen ere long come to agree with
the natives and let the adam -zad alone.

A Historical Pair Of Scissors.

Among the relics loaned to the Old
South exhibition by the town of Con-
cord are pair of scissors of which the
following interesting story is told A
young English staff officer was fire.
quently sent to Concord to the house
of Colonel James Barrett on business
connected with the commissary depart
ment, and while waiting for a reply
would amuse himself by talking loyalty
with James Barrett's Oldest daughter
Millicent, to hear her rebel replies. He
asked her what they would do if it
should become necessary for the colo
MES to resist as there was not person
that even knew how to make cartridges.
She replied that they would use their
powder horns and bullets just as they
shot bears. THAT" said the young
man, would be too barbarous. Give
me q piece Of pine. and I will show you
how" After whiting the stick to the
proper form, he took the scissors and
cut the paper for the pattern cartridge.
The sequel shows how apt scholar she
was, for all the cartridges were made
under her superintendenoe by the vo-
men OF Concord, her only male assist
ant being her youngest brother, the
later Major James Barrett, who drove
the last load Of cartridges from the
house after the British came in sight on
the 10th Of April 1775.-Aibany Free

Row the ChFiStiEn Thrones OF the
World Are Ruled Dy GeTmAns.
A Paris journal records some dy-
nastic facts of a curious character.
With the eA ception OF Spain, Swe-
den, Italy, Brazil, Servia and Mon
tenegro, all the Christian nations
submitted to a monarchial regime
are governed by sovereigns Of Ger
manic race. The house of Bruins
wick Hanover reigns over Great
Britain, and that of Saxe-Coburg
will succeed it, after the death OF
Queen Victoria, in the person of
the Prince of Wales. In Belgium
and Portugal we again find the
Saxe-COburg family, allied with the
house of Braganza at Lisbon. The
Emperor Of Russia is a descendant
of the family Of Holstein Gottorp,
and, through Catherine the Great,
with that of Anhalt. Another
branch of the house of Holstein
that of Sonderburg Glucksburg,
reigns III Denmark and Greece; the
Prince Of Roumania is a Hohenzol-
lern, and the King of Holland be-
longs to the Nassau family. The
Emperor of Austria, chief of the
Lorraine -Hapsburg House, is of a
race purely German. The Illus
triouS family Of Lorraine descended
from Charlemagne, and this house
and that of Hapsburg were merged
by the marriage Of the last Duke of
Lorraine, Francis, with Martha
Theresa, the last inheritor of the
blood and name of Hapsburg. We
scarcely need to remind our readers
that the Emperor William / is of
pure German race without any in
termixture; and the same remark
will apply to all the other German
sovereigns without exception. The
rhief among them, viz: The kings
Of Bavaria, Saxony and Wurtem-
burg; the grand dukes Of Baden
Hesse, Mecklenbqrg : Schwerin,
Mecklenburg Strelitg, Qldenburg
and SAKE. Weimar; the dukes Of
Saxe-Coburg, Gotha, Sake Menin-
gen and Saxe-AltenbuFg, are all of
pure German origin. France has
furnished Il Bourbon to Spain and
a Bernadotte to Sweden; the last
male descendant of the house of
Braganza reigns in Brazil, and the
royal family Of Italy is Of Savoy
origin, not withoutsome probability
of German blood. Finally, the
small principalities of Seryia and
Montenegro have local dynasties.

The Carlist chieftain, Jergon,
who was recently executed at Pam
peluna, in Spain, is said to have
been guilty OF at least twenty mur-
ders. Jergon's career Of crime
commenced in January, 1878, with
an unprovoked crime. On the 10th
of April the same year, he stabbed,
for lust Of blood, a lame old man
named Pedro Muneta, in the neigh
borhood of Muneta. The old man
was harmless cripple. On the
same day, his hands reeking with
blood, he met a man called Juan
Ezra, and killed him at once,
throwing him over precipice. On
Easter day, 1873, he beat to jelly
poor tanner OF Estella, and hung
him, half dead, over the precipice
of Iguzquiza. On June 23, in the
same year, he beat to death a little
boy, by name Felix Chayarri, and
threw his body over the precipice
Of Ecala. In the same summer he
killed and threw over the precipice
Of Ecala another boy, a day laborer,
called Garin. He always robbed
and despoiled his victims before
casting their remains, semi-con-
scious, over the abysses where was
his haunt. On July s he beat to
death Hipolite SAM, casting his
remains over the same abyss. In
fact, the abysses of Iguzquiza and
Ecala were turned by this mar
into perfect cemeteries Of murdered
mems bodies. On August 20 o.

Travellers from Paris to Lyons
had an extraordinary adventure on
January 3D.. The track near Mou-
Inns was obstructed by flames which
rose high in the air. There was a
great confagration in the Faubourg
Chaveau, bordering on the railway,
and the position of the train was
critical. 1t could neither stop nor
back without coming in collision
with the express train that was fol-
lowing it. 1t must go on. The
guard ordered all the windows of
tn compartments to be closed, COW
cred up the luggage wagons, and
then the train dashed through the
fire. The train, on getting out of
the fltmcs and smoke, was again
stopped and examined, but beyond
the fright Of the passengers aud a
little scorching of the wood of the
compartments, no harm was done.
