Swiss Bridges.

Every traveller in Switzerland is
struck with the peculiarity of their
bridges, which are mostly rooted in the
same fashion as their chalets, the use
of which practice is not manifest at first
but is doubtless for the purpose of pro-
tecting them from snow which would
otherwise block up their transit. There
are several curious specimens of these
housed bridges in the antiqaated city of
Lucerne. They are also thrown across
the river Reuss, which, although it en-
ters the lake of Altdorf, turbid, pud-
died stream, resembling milk, having
passed through the lake, issues beau
tiful sea-green, with all the swiftness
of a mountain torrent, at Lucerne. |
know not why the flowing of peaceful
stream should not only attract but also
rivet ones attention irresistibly; but
so it was, that both here and at Geneva,
where the Rhone issues a beautiful az
ure-blue, could stand by the hour to
look upon it. On panels, which are
fastened to the timbers supporting one
of the bridges, you have delineated the
Dance of Death" after Holbein's ia
nous picture at Basle. On the side of
another, which runs in a slanting di-
rection across the mouth of the Reuss,
there are upward of seventy pictures,
which describe the feats of the patron
saints of Lucerne, while on the opDo-
site side there are the same number, de-
scribing, historically, various scenes in
Swiss history.

The Monster of the Deep.

Mr.. Henry in recent issue Of Land
and Water says:-The evidence of
"great sea-serpents, or other so-called
"marine Monsters" having been occa-
sionally seen is such as would he re-
garded as valid and cogcnt in any court
of justice. The witnesses are trust
worthy as to character, and competent
by training and experience. The
officers of Her Majesty's navy are
incapable of combining together to off,
cially and Intentionally promulgate
falsehood; and they and the men
under their command are too much ac-
customed to the sights of the sea to be
easily misled either to greatly exagger-
ate the dimensions of an animal in view
or to be so entirely deceived by appear
ances as not to recognize one already
known to them. Itappears to me, there
fore. that with such testimony before
US, incredulity (Which is more frequent
ly then credence the result of the want
of knowledge) is unjustifable; and that
the statements and descriptions of such
witnesses ought to be frankly accepted
and carefully considered with a view to
satisfactory explanation, if that be
possible. The evidence is, to my mind
conclusive that enormous animals, with
which BIOLOGISTS are at present unac-
quainted, exist in the 'great and wide
sea" and 1 look forward hopefully to
the capture of one or more of them,
and the settlement of this vexsd ques-
ten.

Changes In Medicine.

A medical paper of Paris gives an in
teresting account of some marked
changes in the use of medicines of late
years. 1t states that in 1869 the Central
Pharmacy distributed 141 Kilograms of
chloroform against 3Os in 1875. Chloral
showed still more rapid increase; for,
while in 1869 only Kilograms were re-
quired, 800 we're consumed in 1875.
Opium showed but small variations, but
in respect to morphia the increase was
from 275 grains to more than 10000
kilegrams-no doubt from the genera
use of hypodermic injections. A very
large augmentation characterized the
amount of alcohol used in the hospitals
and inflrmaries of Paris-that is from
1870 liters in 1856 to 37.57S in 1875.
The same Increase is noticeable in rum
and red wine, while the quantity of
white wine was sensibly diminished
The use of leeches has gone nearly out
fashion.

Paddy and the Lovers.

A few months since son of Erin,
about 8 o'clock one evening, stopped at
country inn in the western part of
Pennsylvania, and called for lodgings
for the night.-lt was quite evident
from his appearance that he and liquor
had been quite jelly companions
throughout the day. The landlord was
lazy good natured soul and had i'm
bibed rather freely that day himself.
"If give you light and tell you
which room it is, do you think you can
find it!'
"Och, and it's neself that can do that
thing most Elegantly. Jist show me
the way and I'll find it as aisy as the
Holy Virgin showers down blessing
upon the sinful" replied the Irishman.
The directions were given him, also
a candle. He was directed to go to the
second floor of the house. By the time
he had reached the top of the stairs the
light had become extinguished and he
had forgotten which way to go. Seeing
rays of light issuing from room, the
door of which stood slightly ajar, he re-
connoitered the inside of the room,
and found it contained a bed in which
lay man and stand with lamp on it.
Feeling disinclined to make any further
search for the room to which he had
been directed he divested himself of
his clothing and crept quietly into bed
He had been in bed but few moments,
when young gentleman and a lady
entered the room. The Irishman eyed
them closely. They seated themselves
on the chairs in close proximity to each
other, and after chatting merrily for
some time the young man imprinted
kiss on the young lady's tempting lips.
The scene amused the Irishman very
much and being quite free from selfish
ness he concluded that his sleeping COM
panion should be a participant with
him in the enjoyment of the scene. He
nudged him, and found that he was
tightly locked in the embrace of
death. Synonymous with the discovery
he bounded out of bed exclaiming:-
"Muther! muther' Holy saints of
Hiven protect met' -t
He had scarcely touched the floor
with his feet before the young gentle
man and lady were making rapid strides
towards the stairway, terror being de-
picted on their countenances. They
had just reached the top of the stairs
when the Irishman came dashing along
as though the fiends of Erebus were
close at his heels, intent on making him
their prey; the whole three went tum-
bling down stairs together, and it was
hard to tell which reached the bottom
first.
The landlord stood aghast, as the
Irishman rushed into the bar room, the
hair on his head standing on end, his
eyebalI's ready to leap from their
sockets, and he gasping badly for breath.
1t was a sight that would make a man
laugh who had worn vinegar face from
the day of his birth.
When the young lady and gentleman
found that it was not the corpse that
had so unceremoniously bounded from
the bed, they returned to the room,
being the watchers for the night.

SAINT. In the midst of these storms Mr..
Tiff visited his ranch and found his
cattle literally dying by the thousands.
On the islands in the South Platte River
he found and drove of to the sand hills
on the south side, after great exertion,
some 2,700 head, and of this number
less than half were afterwards recovered.
Their bleaching bones now whiten the
plains in the vicinity where they were
frozen to death. and those that were re-
covered were found in two different
States and four different territories of
the Union. More than $24 900 were ex-
pended in trying to find them. Nor
was this all. 1t was impossible to tell
for number of years how much the
loss had been. His book showed nearly
5,09e head unaccounted for. No trace
of them beyond skeletons could be found
and at last this number was charged to
profit and loss account, and the books
balanced for new start. This large
number would probably have averaged
$40 per head could they have been sold
the fall previous, and at this rate they
would have amounted to 100000

Sweden.

Stockholm lacks the magnificent sun
nv sweep of the bay of Naples; it lacks
too, the voluptuous light of Italy, that
so wonderfully gilds and soothes an
Italian landscape into scene Of silken
beauty. But with the exception of
Naples and Edinburgh it is the most
nobly situated capital of Europe The
Malar lake, on whose pregnant emer-
aid slopes it lies-or rather in and about
which Stockholm runs like an incrus-
tation of rare repousse works., on a
limited scale, "a miniature st. Lawrence,
full of islands, turreted and twisted into
thousand insular eccentricities, fam
| tastic with foam and frs, covered with
the richest umbrage, bright with cas-
ties and chateaux, and made alive by a
singularly vivacious population. Stock
holm itself is string of islands, linked
together by bridges. The crowning
architectural feature of the town is the
slottet, or royal residence, built upon a
lofty islet. and commanding the whole
scene with its massive square walls. A
beautiful causeway, the Norsbro, lined
by low shops and leading down by a
stairway to the famous Stromparterre,
connects it with the great square and
royal theatre. 1t is one of the finest
sights imaginable to stand on this
causeway and watch the people drifting
over, the thronging ships and steamers
in the winding lake beneath, and the
brilliant and buOyant life all around.
The royal castle is a many-sided mon
ster; vast library, a museum, splendid
state apartments, and sumptuous hall
are contained within its huge quadran-
gle. European palaces are not prepos-
sessing in general; they look like inn
mense jails-penitentiaries for princes
with no end of cob-webbed window
glass, and habitable only here and
there in certain suites of rooms, like
oases in the desert. The guays around
and beneath the Slottet are lined with
Russian, Danish, Dutch and English
ships. Statues of Gustavus Adolphus,
Gustavus Vasa, and Charles XII.-a
remarkable one of the latter by Molin-
surrounded by four mortars, captured
in his wars, stands in the Place Charles
XII.-are as numerous as the bronze
Dukes of Wellington, in London, pran-
cing to battle in every square and char
ging unimaginable enemies on brazen
steeds. The apotheosis of brass
is really becoming intolerable. One
can hardly take a step in continental
towns but heroes and martyrs are
grimacing and pirouetting from pyra-
mids or granite. The statue of Charles
XII, though striking enough in itself.
is on a singularly low pedestal. A fine
fountain, also by Molin, and statue of
Charles XIII. adorn the same sunny
and sylvan square. A little alley leads
to the square commemorative of the
great chemist, Berzelius.
The beauty of Stockholm is its blend
ing of rushing melodic water, towering
islands and rich outrageous suburbs.
lis island clusters are girded by a per-
petual sinuous sunlight of changeful
water.

A Partridge Conquers a Rooster.

At st. Foye, near Quebec, January 2,
L beheld male spruce partridge
(Tetrao canadensis) engaged in mortal
duello with the Spanish knight-errant
of our poultry yard. The combatants
fought in the manner common to the
Gallinacee-eyeing each other with
outstretched necks and dropping wings.
At each attempt to strike on the part of
the rooster, the partridge, with the
rapidity of a flash, would hop, or rather
fly, over the head of his unlucky oppo-
nent, and, passing, would use as
weapons of offense both wing and claw
with astonishing effect. At each onset
this passing was repeated several times
without intermission, and then the pos
ture of attack would be resumed. In
this manner the duello was carried on,
round after round, but it soon became
evident that, owing to his activity and
strange and superior mode of attack,
the smaller of the two opponents must
eventually become the victor. Feeling
his advantage, the little hero's fury
knew n" bounds. Striking from all
sides, he punished the unlucky Chem
her des poules till his crest and wattles
were torn to shreds, and, half blind,
bleeding and stunned, he became
utterly demoralized, aid took to his
heels. Little, however, did his flight
avail him. The partridge, bent on
carrying hostilities to the bitter end,
followed the rooster, knocking him
down repeatedly by the violence of the
blows, until, vanquished beyond hope,
lying flat on the sod, h ding his bruised
and bleeding head under a tuft of
grass, Gallus surrendered at discretion.
