The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1878-07-06

Handale is in the parish of dollhouse,
in Cleveland, England. A small abbey
of Benedictine nuns WAS founded there
by William, son of Richard de Percy,
no remains of which now exist. The
situation is truly delightful and pic
tureseque; the sea, only three miles dis
tant, adds variety to the scene, while the
profound seclusion of the woods, the
deep solitude and repose of the glens,
and the quiet and retirement around,
carry back the thoughts to that remote
period when
"Their bells we're heard at evening swelling clear
By pilgrims wandering DER the heath HILL '
In ancient time these quiet woods
were infested by huge serpent, pos
sessed of most singular fascinating pow
ers, which used to beguile young damsels
from the path of truth and duty, and
afterward to feed on their dainty limbs
At this time there lived in these parts q
brave aud gallant youth named Scaw
who felt greatly incensed at the ravages
which the serpent made among his fail
acquaintance, and determined to destroy
the vile monster or perish in the a. tempt
Therefore, amid the tears and prayers Of
his friends and sweethearts he bucklec
on his armor and proceeded to the ser
pent's cave.
Striking the rock with his sword, the
reptile Immediately issued from his den
breathing fire from his nostrils, and rear
ing high his crested head to tranfix the
bold intruder with his poisonous sting
Nothing daunted, the young hero fought
bravely, and, after long and severe
contest, succeeded in killing the mon
ster. Young Scaw forthwith married
an earl's daughter found in the cave
and thus by his valor rescued from
cruel death, by which marriage he OBJ
tanned vast estates. The wood where he
slew the serpent is called "Scav
Woods to this day, and the stone cof
fin in which he was buried is yet shown
near the sight of the priory.

In Cambridge, Mass, there lives one
George Bonham, who is one hundred and
forty years of age, and has been blind
three times but shasa as often received
his sight again. He recently cut two
eye-teeth, which caused him the most
excruciating pain. When he walks the
streets he stoops SO much that his head
cannot be seen when looking from be-
hind. He was George Washington
school teacher for a short time, and well
remembers how the Father of his coun-
try licked him when it was his intention
to have matters just the reverse. He
says Washington was a bad boy and
used to steal eggs and suck them, besides
committing sundry other small deprada-
tons usual among country lads.

He Took the Hint.

The Duke of st. Adams, the heredi-
tary Grand Falconer of England, is a
great goose-breeder, and employs large
number of gosherds to tend the birds
upon one of his estates. Last autumn
His Grace presided one Saturday at the
payment of his laborers. Simon Bluff,
an intelligent boy, gosherd, ten years
old, was called up to receive eighteen
pence, his weeks wages. The boy re-
fused to take the money. Upon being
pressed for the reason of his denial, he
replied:
Why, cause all the geese on Monday
morning flied away, and how could
take money for looking arter birds whel
there was nc birds to look arter9"
The Duke, returning home, imme
diately sent in his resignation as sinecu
rist Falconer. In humble imitation o
Simon Bluff, he even refused to tax
! the current quarters salary.

A LADY in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, while
walking along the bank of large creek
about a month ago, slipped and fell
into the water. She was an expert
swimmer and in short time would have
been on shore had she not been caught
in mass of weeds, which completely
paralyzed her lower limbs and rendered
her farther advance toward the shore
without assistance impossible. She
managed to keep her head above water
for hours and cried for help until she
was hoarse. She eventually tainted,
and, from that time until she was res
cued by gentleman next morning, she
remained unconscious. When she was
found log of wood foated on the water,
and on it her head was pillowed, thus
preventing her from drowning. How
the portion of the tree trunk came to be
under her head is mystery. The gem
tleman had to work for an hour before
her neither extremities were released
from the weeds. She had been in the
water nearly twenty hours before help
came.

ONE hundred and fifty thousand dol
lars have thus far been expended upon
the construction of the Keely motor APP
paratus, while over million and half
have changed hands in the rise and fall
of stocks. Keely is now making his ar
rangements for final test, and when
everything is in order, he proposes to
invite Edison. an j others to his laboratory,
and either blow the whole affair through
the roof or demonstrate his claim to be-
ing the greatest inventor that ever shed
blessings upon humanity. The general
impression is that the motor machine is
like Orpheus q. Kerr's cannon. as

An Extraordinary Accident.

The Graphic says that singular &C
cident involving the marvellous escape
from an instant and terrible death OF a
young lady of New York city occurred
on Park -avenue. At about eleven O clock
at night this heroine of fortunate
chance was driving up that thorough
fare in company with a gentleman.
They had passed the Park Avenue
Hotel, and were going briskly along,
having arrived at the summit of the
declivity, when the horse took fright,
and the driver losing all control of him
at about Thirty-sixth street, dashed
furiously up Park-avenue. The young
lady, though appalled, at the situation,
sat quite still, but her companion, less
self-controlled, leaped from the vehicle.
The sole occupant saw almost certain
death before her as she swiftly ap-
preached The Forty-second street station,
which at that hour was busy with de-
parting and arriving trains, some of
which are apt to be accessible for
vehicles by the open entrance giving adj
mission to the street-cars. 1t is conjec-
tured that about Fortieth sire ct she
must have given the reins strong pull
to one side, for the horse swayed from
the direct course up the avenue, and ac-
tually tore tn ough the heavy iron rail
ing some three or four feet high, which
guards the approaches of the tunnel
from the street.
The animal leaped clear across the
tracks and fell at the bottom of the wall
opposite with broken back and legs
The vehicle was stopped and wrecked
against the ra ling through which the
maddened animal plunged, but the shock
precipitated the young lady headlong
over the opening and she must have
been instantly killed had not provi-
Dental chance thrown her on top of the
manned beast, whose body broke her
fall and thus saved her life. As it was,
she escaped with a few triaing bruises.
Her screams attracted the attention of
some passers-by, and, in the moonlight,
they easily discovered her situation, al
though it was for some time inexplicable
how such an accident could have hap
pened. The young lady was conveyed
to the nearest station-house. The horse,
whose extraordinary leap had SO inn
periled her life, had to be shot by one
of Bergh's men.
A DUTCHMAN, having lost his horses,
started in search of them. Meeting a
man in the road he inquired of him if be
had seen them. Being stranger in
those parts, the man as ked Hans to de.
scribe them. "Vell," said he, "dey

The " Groves of Barney"

Correspondent of the Reading Times.l
The celebrated "Groves of Barney"
make up the park adjacent to the castle.
They are noted for their magnificent
trees, shrubbery and flowers, unsur-
passed probably in Ireland for pictur-
esque beauty and charming landscape
effects. We saw nothing equal to them
elsewhere. Some of the grand old elm
trees are at least five feet in diameter,
and fifteen in circumference, with out
spread ng branches covering a space of
more than one hundred feet. Nearly
every tree in the grove is festooned with
ivy from itsroots to its topmost branches.
The grounds, the lawns, the meadows,
and the pastures are covered with wild
flowers, among them the rhododendron,
which was seen in its perfection, of va
rious shades, more beautiful than the
specimens exhibited at the Centennial
Exposition in Philadelphia. The white
blossoming hawthorn grows here to che
altitude of good-sized pear tree, which
it much resembles. The red hawthorn,
which also grows to the height of twenty
or thirty feet. is a gorgeous tree now in
full bloom. The furze bushes, about
the size of our mountain laurel, grow
up spontaneously all over the country,
and its bright yellow flowers, now in
bloom, are a prominent feature of the
Landscape. The "Groves of Barney"
adjoining the castle. it is said, were
formerly adorned with statues, grottoes,
fountains, and bridges, but if so these
have entirely disappeared, and there are
no vestiges of them now, except the
modern bridges, which are all of stone
and very substantial But we have the
flowers just the same as ever, in all the
freshness of their ancient beauty
Croker, in his songs of Ireland, wrote Of
them thus: M
'The groves of Barney,
They look so charming,

A Dutch Arctic Expedition.

On the 9th inst, little schooner,
the Willem Barents, an eighty-ton craft,
sailed from Amsterdam for six months
cruise in the Arctic regions The whole
ships company consists of fourteen
six scientific experts and eight sailors
ard officers. The enterprise is
strictly national, foreign aid having been
refused, and nothing even having been
asked of the Dutch Government, but
everything being supplied by voluntary
contribution. The schooner will pur-
sue the track of previous Dutch navi-
gators, along the northwest coast OF
Spitzbe,gen, to Nova Zembla, and
thence as far to the northwest as can
be reached in season for the schooner to
return before next winner. An immense
crowd assembled in Amsterdam to bid
J the intrepid navigators goodbye.

HO) THE PEOPLEARE FED At THE
- PARIS EXPOSITION.

Persons who are acquainted by ex-
perience with the heat of Paris during
the summer months, especially in the
low-lying grounds where the Exhibition
is situated, will be anxious to know what
provisions have been made at the Tro-
cadero and the Champ de Mars to quench
the thirst and crafty the appetite of
visitors. In the exhibition of S67 there
were many picturesque inns, cafes, and
bars in which food and drinks were
served after the fashions of several coun-
tries, by walters and mattresses dressed
in national costumes. There are on the
grounds four first-class restaurants, a
French and Belgian at the Champ de
Mars, near the Point d'Iena, and a
French and a Spanish restaurant on
each side of the cascade of the Trocadero.
At each of the corners of the Palace of
the Champ de Mars are luncheon bars
for the sale of cold meats and drinks.
These are considered insufficient for the
great building. In the garden facing
the Ecole Militaire are two immense
restaurants, Duval establishment and
Strasbourg oresserie. Two prir fire
restaurants are established, one near the
Porte de Tourville, and the other on
the bank of the Seine in the middle of
the agricultural exhibition. Near the
railway station an immense restaurant
Of 800 square feet is constructed, out
side the Exhibition Enclosure. 1t is
calculated that 5000 persons can
breakfast at the same time in the two
parks of the Champ de Mars and the
Trocadero. Besides these establishments,
there are several picturesque ones which
should be mentioned. Near the Avenue
de Suffren is a Hungarian czarda or inn,
in which there are Tzigane concerts.
Tunisian, Moroccan, and Algerian cafes,
with music, coffee, conscousson, and
other African viands, have been estab-
lished in the Tfocadero Park. Cigars of
the French regre are sold in all
the restaurants. Eastern tobacco will
be found in the Moorish cafes, and Rus
sian cigarettes in an isbah, a pretty
wooden structure near the Avenue de
Sufien. Havana cigars are sold in a
special kiosque near the Point lena.

In Sweden education is compulsory
from the age Of nine, and in case of per-
sistent neglect the children are taken
from their parents and sent to boarding
school, while their parents are made to
pay their board. The Swedish Govern
ment is determined-and very properly
determined-to extinguish ignorance.
1t has established complete hierarchy
of schools, at all of which tuition is
free, from the lowest elementary schools
up to the two great universities of Up
sala and Lund, The schoolhouses are
quite famous for their neatness and
completeness.

among the oldest reigning families in
Europe. 1t gave an Emperor to Ger

Positive. but Mistaken.

Many a person recalling something he
intended to do, feels and expresses the
utmost certainty that he did it. We
should always allow the possibility of
our own mistake. The Evansville
(Wis.) independent tells of a clergyman
who illustrated this in the case of mis-
directed letter:
Rev. Mr.. - put ten-dollar bill in
letter and directed it to distant
office. Days, weeks, and months passed
away, and the letter did not reach its
destination. The good old clergyman
naturally mourned his loss. A year
passed. He came into the Office. Said
Mr.. N, Have you heard from your
lost letter yet?'
"No, sir"
Well, think can get your money
for you. There is new regulation, by
which. if man can swear positively
that he directed his letter to the in
tended place, the government will make
good his loss. Can you make the re-
quired oath ?"
Most certainly l can" said the
clergyman, and gave his reasons for be-
ing positive.
Mr.. N. then produced the lost letter
which had been directed to an Office in
different State from the one intended
and for year had been travelling in 8
search for the right Office, and at las
been retured to the sender. The ole
| gentleman looked over the letter in mute
establishment He at last took in thu
whole situation, and raising his hand, hi
said, DWELL, l should have perjuret
myself before God"
Moral: Don't be too positive.

THE Globe diffused through London
the awful intelligence that the Mayor of
Wakefield, having declared himself a
teetotaler, caused ginger beer to be set
before his guests at his Inauguration
banquet, This ginger beer has caused
such an effer vascence of feeling in the
city of London that deputation has
already waited on the Lord Mayer to
ascertain his sentiments on the great pop
question, and to pop the question to him
whether he will ever think Of satufating
his fellow citizens with this sort of tip

The Weather in England.

Those of us who have been finding
fault (and not altogether without rea-
SOM with the cold, wet and unseason-
able weather that has prevailed in
these regions the last few weeks, NAV
find some comfort in learning that our
English cousins have at least as much
reason to complain on the same score.
Hence we clip the following cheerful
paragraph from the latest number of
The Week, the handsome paper recently
established in London, by Louis j.
Jennings, formerly editor of the New
York Times:
1t has often been stated by philoso-
pliers that people could not possibly
exist without sunshine; but the recent
condition of England seems to refute
this theory. We continue to live, and
certain kinds of seeds and grasses even
grow out of the ground, without VIII
BILE aid from the sun. Day after day the
earth is overhung with weeping clouds,
mist and fog fill the air, and even
the long days are half obscured by the
gloom which almost perpetual rain
diffuses over the country. The ground
is soaked wet, and the low-lying dis
tricts are all under water. The Their
mometer rarely rises above so deg. Yet
this is the first of June, when summer
ought to be in all its glory. No wonder
that the universal chill and depression
are taking all the gayety even out of the
London season. This is colder year
than usual, but. it may be doubted
whether the English climate ever had
much to boast of, and it seems very
certain that it has not materially
changed for better or worse during many
generations. Two lines of Shakespeare s
are conclusive on that point;
Rough inds do shake the darling buds of Nav.
And summers lease hath all too short date"
