She lay on her back, bemoaning her
self.
L, younger and lighter, picked my self
up at once.
But held on to my half of grand
fathers cane, and shouted wildly for
joy, for in an instant / saw that the
cane was not broken, but that it was
made in two halves, and that the one
l held was hollow. ia
Something protruded from it.

She knew it, too.
She scrambled up. as L flourished it

been safe had she caught me.
Terror, as well as joy, lent wings to
my footsteps.
l flew out of the garden, down the
lane, and up the road to the office of
Mr.. Curdle.

The Great American Falls.

| The relic-hunters are a feature of Nj
agara. In addition to the numerous In
dian stores in the village, one meets a
blind woman, lame man, or a crippled
child on every corner and every turn.
l shook them all off except one-eyed
man with a scar on his nose. He made
up his mind that was his meat, and he

Not pennyworth, sir! came here

"Wan't to buy any relics ?" he asked,
as he came up.

"Want TO buy any"
1t was my first murder, and it makes
me shudder TO think of it. 1t is no tri-

An Hour with the Insane.

"Yes, sir, I'm the light of the world, u
said a hatched-faced, emaciated man in
the city hospital for the insane on
Wards Island, New York. And he
looked at the superintendent, seemingly
expecting some acknowledgment of the
truth of his assertion.
Getting from the doctor a nod of re-
spectful assent, the patient continued +:
"Y GU know, doctor, that have been
skinned alive here-buried alive,
My bones have been taken out of my
body one by one. My head has been
screwed off and screwed ON again"
"Why did they take your head off'''
the doctor inquired.
''Oh, you know, doctor. You know
well enough" the patient replied, re-
proachfully. "You know that my
head is the moon and my skin is the
stars. Where would you get your light
at night, l should like to know if it
wasn't for me? Doesn't my blood sup
ply light for all the street lamps in that
big city over there? ?" As he said this,
he waived his hand toward the opposite
shore, where the thousands of little gas
jets glimmered through the darkness.
'sOnce," he continued, my head was
as big as our friend, the doctors, here.
Now, see how thin it is And as he
stroked his poor, shrunken cheeks, his
head dropped, and he looked unuttera-
bly, sad.
''Yes, but" said the doctor, trying to
rally his patient, ''if your skin is all
taken off and your bones are taken out,
how is it that there is anything left of
you?" ..sf.l. .
The patient did not raise his eyes
from the floor. AS the doctor was NOV
ing away, the poor fellow mumbled in
answer that he supposed his body was
repaired as fast as it was destroyed.
That's curious case," said the doc
tor ''It is mixture of mania and
melancholia."
A stout built, excessively nervous
man, with black hair and beard, was
next visited. He fancies that he has an
electric battery on him, and that his
enemies hold the wires and use them to
draw away his thoughts.
"They came again last night, doctor" :"
said the patient. "They came and took
my lungs out"
This case reminds you Of the patient
possessed of similar hallucination de-
scribed in Charles Reade's Terrible
Temptation" Another fellow SAYS
that he has doctor i'm his body, who
moves about to physic and torture him.
"Can you feel him to-day?'' DIR.
Macdonald inquired.
"Oh, yes" was the reply, 81 can feel
his shoulder pressing here" ,"and he put
his hand to his left breast.
''Then, where's his head?" asked the
doctor.
The patient felt all over his body and
about his throat, and then shook his

twenty years at least to rear the Pyra-
mid of CheOps; and we may assume
that people who had thus been COM
PEELED to labor at the mere material
works would be made to exhibit some
extraordinary spectacle of grief and
mourning when the despOt was at last
laid within his great mausOleum.
: Neither the Greek tyrants nor the
Roman kings were buried with any
great ceremony beyond the burning of
their ashes and the carrying of their
busts in solemn procession. Yet the
same sOlidity in which the Roman
masOns delighted distinguished the
royal sepulchres and as late as in the
reign of Agustus these monuments still
stood on the banks of the Tiber, exposed
to the destructive floods in which tho
wayward river often INDUCED.

head, saying, 81 don't know where his
head is to-day"
A very remarkable patient is an ell
derly man, an ex-eoilege professor, who
is hard at work on a translation of
Horace, with copious foot notes. He
talks so learnedly and logically, that
you wonder whether he has not been
confined by mistake. But presently he
tells you confidentially that Charles
Dickens wrote ''Bleak House" for the
sole purpose of injuring him, and ifyou
should say anything about poison, he
will Immediately tell you that his whole
system has been ruined by being inoc-
ulated with the poison contained in the
lead of the water pipes. He admits that
he is insane, but says that he is care
fully studying his case in connection
with the lead poisoning theory, and
has hopes of getting the poison out of
his system. r

Kiss me. darling. ere We part!
Weary years may glide away
Ere we meet in mind and heart

Many q SORROW launch his dart
At the hearts estranged for ave
Years may come and steal again

Years all full OF g,ief and pain
Leaving but bitter smart,
On the spirits once so proud
Cropping sadly with the crowd.

Blessed days Of sunny bliss

Ere We bow at other shrine.

How the Sultan nrarries a Daughter.

The marriages of Princesses, on whose
expenses, as the Haiti HamayOun of
1853 stated, no saving could be affected,
deserves special notice. If one of the
Sultan's daughters has attained the age
at which Turkish girls are generally
married, the father seeks a husbtI1 for
her among the mobiles at his court. Ii
a young man especially pleases her, he
is given the rank of acknowledgement,
nothing lower being ever selected The
chosen man receives, in addition, a
magnificent fully-furnished palace, and
sixty thousand piastres a month, pocket
money; and in addition, his father-in-
law defrays all the housekeeping ex-
bridegroom is Hot always
over and above pleased at being selected.
If he be married, he is obliged to get
must not have wife or
mistress in addition to the princess;
and moreover, he is regarded as the
servant rather than the husband of his
wife. The sultan himself announces to
him his impending good fortune, and it
is his bounden duty to bow reverently,
kiss the sultan's feet, and stammer a
few words about the high honor, the
happiness, etc. He then
proceeds with cham mberlain, who bears
the imperial HIATT TO the sublime porte.
A military band precedes him, and
soldiers are drawn up along the road,
who present arms. AT the head of the
stairs the bridegroom is received by the
grand vizier, conducted by him into a
room where all the ministers are assem-
bled, and the HIATT is read aloud. This
ceremony corresponds to the betrothal.

"Use great prudence and circumspec-

~. ~. H." Washington correspon>
dent OF the Memphis Appeal writing
under date OF 10th, says captain Cow
don. by Invitation, appeared before the
committee on levces for the Mississippi
river. His friend, DR.. G. X. Marshall,
OF yicksburg, read Captain Cowdon's
article "On the Deepening of the Cham
mel and the Reclamation of the Low
Lands" The argument Of Captain Cow
don differed from the plans before con-
gress, Is much as the theory OF Calico on
the solar system differed from the theory
OF others. He argued that in contrast
with the levee system which proposed TO-
conflne and dam up the waters to a single
channel, the true policy is to open all the
outlets and divert Red river and all
its tributaries from the Mississippi river,
which would make the capacity for out
flow greater than that of the inflow.
This would prevent any overflow, and
also give the Mississippi river 80 much
greater fiood.tlde slope that during high
water periods the current would have
the force TO wash out the sands that
make the shoal places, and carry them to
the guilt, deepening the channel. The
results would be. that from Cairo to New
Orleans there would DO water enough
for steamboats, with ten feet draft, and
this without wing-dams or levees. The
reclamation Of the lands In the valleys
from overflow would be inevitable. The
cost OF this work could not exceed five
millions; and to illustrate the system
would not cost more than one hundred
and fifty thousand dollars. The article
Of Captain Cowdon made fine impress
sion ON the committee"
