An Ugly Case of Miscegenation.

ST.. CLAIRsvrLLE, July 3l.-Abraham
Venahle, au American citizen Of dpcid-
edly sable hue, was sent to Jail this alter
noon in default of 5000 bail, charged with
perjury. The testimony in the preliml
nary examination showed that Abraham
was an accomplished performer on the
banjo, and Mr.. Alexander, who lived in
his neigh hborhood. in the southern part OF
this county, sppreciating bis musical tai,
ent, had invited him on several occasions
to entertain his family withthe rendition
of popular airs on his favorite instrument.
Abraham, nothing 10th. accepted all In
vitations extended, for Mr.. Alexander
had daughter Mary whom he loved. 10
an opportune moment, after one OF his
concerts, he made known to her his love.
Mary Is white girl and is possessed
only of that degree Of intellect which
makes mistakes easy. She received his
advances kindly at first, afterward she en-
tertained his love, and finally accepted bis
proffer of marriage.
Immediately AFTER expressing her will.
ingnessto marry. Abraham FASTENED here
to obtain the necessary license to wed.
He procured the coveted paper, returned,
and some friendly Squire tied the nup.
tial knot, but it was not destined that they
should dwell long in peace. for the irate
father of.the gifk who was Ignorant Of
the proceeding until after the deed was
done had the husband arrested for, per
jury to, day. charging that in. procuring
the license he swore that the girl was
eighteen years Of age, when in fact.she is
utffteen. and hence Abraham languish'
eth on the soft side Of plank in the Jail
instead Of his nuptisl couch. Mary did
not repenther contract, but followed, the
prisoner to Jail, and would have willingly
had the bolts turned with her and Abfa,

Sheriff permitted. .. ..,..,r -. :. ,...i,a.s-

A White Mountain Storm.


On the 18th of January, the little colo
ny of weather observers on Mount Wash
ington went through terrible experience.
The morning of the 10th was beautiful,
but it began to grow cold in the afternoon,
and soon all around was an ocean of fro.
zen air. By noon the next day the storm
had become so violent and the ice and
sleet drifted so frightfully that eight panes
of glass were broken, rendering the ad-
justment of the storm shutters work of
unusual danger and difficulty. The tim
bers creaked ard strained, and such was
the deafening roar of the tempest aud the
rafting of the ice against the building
that it was impossible to be heard when
calling at the top of the voice at a yards
distance. The record showed that during
the night the wind blew 35 miles more
rapidly than ever experienced on Mount
Washington and the highest velocity in
the world.
The drop was from 1876 miles per hour
to 10 in FIVE hours. At 9 o'clock the
temperature was quite moderate, and OBJ
servations could be taken outside. Dur
ing the storm, which lasted twenty hours,
the barometer fell 1.13O inches, the great
est change ever observed since the station
was established there. The narrator liken-
ed the storm to gale at sea- There
would be hull for few seconds, then
terrific roar and rush Of ice and snow and
sleet against the building which threatened
its existence. While the gale was at its
highest point of fury the men prepared
themselves for the worst. The unusual
severity of the storm led them to believe
that the little building in which they we're
stationed would be raised from its founda-
tons and sent spinning into Tuckerman's
rayine or the yawning gulf below. Each
man wrapped himself tightly in furs and
blankets. The ropes and chains we're
made doubly secure and every precautiop
taken to guard against accident.
The suppOsitiOn is that the velocity Of
the wind at one time was greater than.
that given, being, according to the opinion
Of the officer, up to 200 miles an hour.
In exposing the thermometer the denger
was 50 great that the exact figures could not
be obtained. The quantity Of snow, sIeet
and hail which fell during the twenty
hours Of the storm equaled 2.89 inches Of
water. The cold was SO intense that q
basin Of water within two fest Of the fire.
was frozen, and the men had the utmost
difficulty in keeping themselves from freez.
ing to death. The officers sptIak Of their
experiences with shudder. She violence
Of the storm is unparalleled in the history
OF the service The highest velocity ever
reached before WIS Isl miles ia 1871

Wolf Hunting in Normandy.

The Wolves of Normandy are regular
institution, and have attained to the dig
nifty of governmental supervision, which
consists of regular hunts for their destruc
ton organized by an officer specially ap-
pointed. These hunts are organized when
ever the sub-lieutenant of louUeterie deems
it necessary, or the recurrence Of any spec
ial act of devastation A correspondent
who spent his New Years day in Nor
mandy gives a graphic description of one Of
these hunts, which have come to be reg
ular New years Day occurrence, for
general 6attue is invariably arranged, and
the breakfast in the large dining hall of
the chateau attracts quite as many of the
neighbouring farmers, squireens, and small
manufacturers, as does the anticipation of
some rare sport as entertaining as it is
useful. Every one who possesses gun is
welcome, even those who have no other
than hedgestake can find employment
among the heaters, breakfasting at day
break with the head keeper at some clear
ing in the forest from which the meeting
viii start. Every kind of irearm is rep
resented, from the latest invention, with
all its elaborate mechanism, costing from
EGO to 9100, down to the old flint lock,
which has been transformed into percus-
sion gun by the village blacksmith, looking
as if it would be far more dangerous to the
owner than any wolf. Some were armed
with rifles, but every gun was loaded with
ball, and more than one man could say
how he had set up all night covering his
bullets with old glove leather, so that they
might fit tight when rammed home in the
barrel
Breakfast despatched, the whole party
sailed forth, and under the direction 81
one Of the keepers, took up their stations

The Rose of Sharon.

The so-called Rose of Sharon is one of
the most exquisite flowers in shade and
hue. Its blossoms are bell-shaped and of
many mingled hues and dyes. But its his
tory is legendary and romantic in the
highest degree. In the East, throughout
Syria, Judea, and Arabia, it is regarded
with the profoundest reverence. The
leaves that encircle the round blossoms
dry and close together when the seasons Of
blossoms are over, and the stalk, whitening
completely away from the stem, the flower
is blown away at last from the stem on
which it grew, having dried in the shape
Of ball, which is carried by the breeze to
great distances. In this way it is borne
over the wastes and sand deserts, until at
last, touching some moist place, it clings
to the soil, where it Immediately takes
fresh root and springs to life and beauty
again. For this reason the Orientals have
adopted it as an emblem of the Ressur-
rection.
