lie was tall, square man, with
"a sharp, sunburned nose, and an
unshayen face. He wore a chip
hat, we'll sweated through in front,
with a narrow bit of braid for a
band. His butternut pants we're
neatly tucked into his cowhide
boots, and the thumbs Of his
bronzed hands were thrust into the
arm-holes Of his vest. He entered
the mayors Office with the air of a
man of business, aud, marching up
to his honor, said, inquiringly:
' Be you the mayor"
+" Yes, l have that honor"

"Ah, l see; your daughter is
about to get married and you wish
to procure a marriage license. We
do dot issue those papers here. You
must go over on the North Side, to
the County Building"
"NO, Squire, you are mistaken
as much mistaken as if you had
burnt your last shirt or accidently
got into the wrong pew in meeting;
but Maria Jane doesn't want q

means-not by more than consid.

Will Morrison, who has been to col
lege, told Maria that anybody mus

Here the mayors face turned
very red, as if suffering from som,
intense internal emotion, and i
was observed that his eyes wer,
surfused with tears. His secretary
suddenly approached the window
and gazed abstractedly upon tn,
trees in the tubs whose emerald
branches were gracefully swaying
in the summer breeze in front o.
the saloons across the way. The

"My dear sir, your daughtet

wont it be agin the law to dc

man. "She has heard that Byron

A STRANGE PHENOMENON.-Man
toba Lake, which lies northwest of Fort
Garry, and has given title to the prov
idence formed out of the Red River re-
gion, derives its name from a small
island, from which, in the stiffness Of
the night, ISSUES mysterious noise"
On no account viii the OUbways ap-
proach or iaud ou this island, suppOsing
IL To be the home of the Mauitoba-the
speaking Cod" The cause Of this Gu
riOus sound Is the beating of the waves
on the 'shingle," or large pebbles liu-
ing the shores. Along the northern
coast Of the island there is long, low
cliff Of fiue-grsined, compact limestone,
which, under the stroke of the hammer,
clinks like steel. The waves beating on
the shore at the foot of the cliff, cause
the fallen fragments 10 rub against each
other, aud To give out "A sound re-
sembling the chimes of distant church
bells. The phenomenon occurs when
the gales blow from the north, aud
then, as the winds subside, low, wailing
sounds, like whispering voices, are
heard IN the air. Travellers assert that
the effect is very impressive, aud they
have been awakened at night under the
| impression that they were listening tC
church bells.

eraI Di Cesnola in the Island Of Cyprus.
Every dent which unskilled workman
ship, time, and neglect have impressed
upon the originals is faithfully repro
dueed here. The General has written a
letter stating that the work is so well
done that he can hardly tell the original
from the copies. The collection is sold
to the Berlin Museum for the sum Of
5000.
In the art department the French
make the largest display and the Ital-
ians next, the French running largely
to paintings, the Italians TO statuary.
As to the respective merits Of the two,
criticism is so largely a matter of opin-
ion, that it is difficult if not impossible
10 reach = c1rre-t conclusion. Person
ally, | have never been an admirer Of
the French school Of painting and do
not love too well the modern Italian.
but do admire the paintings Of the
English artists, and particularly Land
seer rs animals. Austria, Russia, Den-
mark, Sweden aud Norway are fairly
represented. None Of the celebrated
pictures from tie great galleries Of Eu-
rope have been brought to the exposi-
ton, and so those who expected to see
a wonderful collection Of the best paint
ings in the world, are sadly disappointed.
American art, which is yet but in It's
infancy, is poorly represented. Not only
is the space allotted us scantily filed
but our best artists are not represented,
aud none Of our best known paintings
are on exhibition. There are half q
dozen collections in New York City
which are finer. Indeed, / suppose
there is the smallest possible encourage
ment for American artists to send pic
lures 10 Europe hoping for market, a
it would be almost as great folly a
sending Goals 10 Newcastle. As was e
be expected, the art department, whil'
perhaps 10 larger, is considerably bet
ter than ours at Philadelphia. As ;
whole, our exhibit is such decided im
provemeut on the one we made Al
Vienna, that we have every reason I,
be proud of it,
Not the least interesting and instruct.
i've part Of the exposition is To see the
people from all parts of the world, Of all
compilations and costumes, walking
about the buildings and studying the
miniature world in which they are.
Nothing can more efectually take
the conceit out Of one, whether he be
an American who thinks his country is
the greatest in the world in all respects,
or south Sea Islander vino prides him
self on his superiority, than 10 see how
much other nations have accomplished.
When We see the vast amount of money
and labor which has been expended on
the worlds exposition, and think that
| il seems to be necessary that each one
should be better than any one before,
we can but wonder what we shall see
in twenty-five years more, il We should
be so fortunate as to attend a worlds
exposition then. And while our imag.
/ iuation is trying to construct the beau
tiful palace which shall hold the expo
stion Of the future, and TO wander annie
the probable treasures which it vii
contain, we walk down to the river
take a steamer for the Place de Concorie
and turn our back upon the great expo
sitiou Of 1878.
