EgyDtian Tales.

The Egyptian genius delighted in the
construction of stories. Some of the
stories have come down through the
Greeks, especially Herodotus, who gath
cred them during his travels, and mixed
them up in confusion which is charm
ing, while it is perplexing, with his his
torical notes; others survive in forms
more or less imperfect and mutilated in
the papyruses. Some of them give
sorry idea of the morals and moral
tastes of the people; but we may hope
that in this respect they do them Is
great injustice as the stories of the
French novelists do to the people whose
life they shamelessly distort. Among
those which have come down through
the Greeks is the incident which is the
probable foundation of the story OF
"Cinderella." It is related by Strabo,
of Rhodopis, the "rosy-cheeked," who
became Queen Nitocris, and had her
name associated with one of the great
pyramids. The wind carried away her
sandal while she was bathing, and laid
it at the feet Of the King, who was sit
ting in the open air. His attention was
attracted by its delicate and symmetrical
shape, and he sought her out and made
her his Queen. The most perfectly
preserved of the stories in papyrus Is
called "The Tale of the Two Brothers,"
and is full of incidents of q peculiar
character. A tale called the Doomed
Prince" has attracted considerable At
tention, but it is abruptly broken off by
the mutilation of the only copy, and
leaves no clew to the ending. Many
other stories are in the same situation,
but what remains shows great richness
of fancy.-Natio,aal Repository.

The SunhOWer.

In many districts in the West the
traveller will see growing Immediately
about the doors of farm houses beds of
sunfowers. The belief of many is that
the growing sunAower is protection
from malaria and preventive of the
low fevers of malarious districts. This
plant, we believe, is made of but small
practical use in America. A scientific
writer upon the helianthus says:
Elsewhere the sunfiower, if not ad-
mired, is esteemed for practical reasons.
Many of our native aboriginals make
bread of the seeds. It is cultivated in
the South of Europe sometimes as q
field crop, the seeds being used as a
food for cattle and poultry, and also for
making oil, which is little inferior to
olive oil, is burned in lamps, and en-
ployed in the manufacture of soap.
Meal and bread are said to be got from
the seeds in Portugal, and these, roasted,
are often substituted for coffee. The
seeds are also used like almonds for
.naking soothing emulsions, and in some
parts of the Old World are boiled and
fed to infants. The leaves are good
fodder for cattle, the stems serve for
fuel, and contain much potash. The
different species Of sunaower indigen-
GUS to the United States number somo
forty, scattering from ocean to ocean,
and from New England to the Gulf.
For plant generally counted unworthy,
as it is with us, it surely has many valu-
able uses.

great anxiety for your success and hap

to all your duties, and to fulfill every
obligation with cheerfulness and pune
tuality. Above all, remember your
moral and religious concerns. Be con

other appointment for worship. There

happiness which are not founded on a
sense of religious duty. AVOID all evil
company and every temptation, and
consider that you have now left :your
fathers house and gone forth to i'm
prove your own character and prepare
your own mind for the part you are to
lead in life. All that can be done for
you by others will amount to nothing
unless you do much for yourself. Cher
ish all the good counsel which your

pleasure of seeing you come forward as

Concerning Lizards.

The common lizards of the West In
dies are extremely fond of music. In q
listening attitude, they will approach
the open window of q room in which
music is played, coming nearer and
nearer, with heads elevated, intently
listening. In a somewhat rare book,
entitled Barbados and Other Poems, :"
by NJ. J. Chapman London, 1880, this
habit of the lizard is thus referred to !:
Gay sounds arc heard within the lighted halls;
Tho charmed 1ephyr pauses - he dies,
And mingles with his strains the softest sighs; !;
The wakened lizard leaves his bushy bed,
Climbs to tho lattice and srscts his head.
A lizard, 30 engaged, had its tail &C.
cidenta]ly cut off by the sudden closing
of the window on the sill of which It
was stationed. This curtailed lizard,
however, continued to visit the spot,
charmed by the music. After = short
time it was noticed that the lost appen-
dage was gradually replaced by two.
This occurred at the house Of friend
in Barbados. Mr.. II. s. Moseley, in
his charming work, @Notes by q Nat
uralist on the Challenger" London,
1879, remarks: 1T is curious how
little animals seem to be frightened by
long wand, like fishing-rod. Ihave
seen Mr.. Thwaites, in Ceylon, put q
moose of palm fiber, fastened at the top
of rod Of this kind, over the heads Of
numbers. of lizards, and carry them off
thus singled to put them into spirit
for DR.. Gunther. The lizards sat quiet
" to receive the moose, though If We
had moved q foot nearer to them they
would have run of at once."-T. Bland,
in Science Ne1us.

TERRIBLE DISASTER.

RAILROAD TRAIN IN THE FIRTH OF TAY.
LONDON, Dec. 29.-At l A. M. a portion of
the bridge across the Firth of Tay was
blown down while train from Edinburgh
to Dundee was crossing. At 7:14 O'Clock
last night the gale was SO strong that steam
boats were unable to reach the scene of the
disaster, but several mail bags have been
washed ashore four miles from the bridge
and there is no doubt that the train is in the
water. The passengers who are certainly all
drowned are variously estimated at $50 to
200 in number.
LArER.-Tbe gale having moderated
somewhat the mayor of Dundee and mum.
Der of leading citizens started in schooner
to the scene of the disaster, but have not
yet returned. The excitement at Tay bridge
station is appalling. Many thousands Of
people are congregated awaiting definite in
telligence.
LONDON, Dec. 28.-The missing Dundee
train was seen crossing the bridge, then
suddenly flash OF light became visible.
The railway officials, in spite of the gale,
walked along the bridge from Dundee until
they found there wa large gap, caused
by the fall of two or three of the largest
spans.
RUMORED DISASTER At SEA.
LONDON, Dec. 29.-Reports are current at

Nevada Transcript
One of the most remarkable accidents
that has ever yet been heard of on the
Pacific Coast occurred last Monday at Dr..
Buelow's quartz mine, five miles east of
this city. G. h. Kirchbacker, q middleaged
man, had put in blast at the bottom o
the shaft, which is eighty feet deep, and
then, after lighting the fuse, gave the men
at the windless the signal to "hoist away"
When the bucket he was in had been
hoisted to point about thirty feet from
the surface splice in the rope gave way,
and Kirchbacker was precipitated a dis
tance of fifty feet into the lower depths.
Strangely enough, the force of the fall did
not render him insensible, although he was
stunned for an instant. One ankle was
dislocated, knee-pan hnrt, neck cat and
other slighter injuries received. Almost as
soon as his downward course waa checked
he realized the fact that but few seconds
would elapse before the explosion of the
blast and his consequent annihilation un-
less he took immediate measures to save
himself. He managed to draw his maneled
body over to where the fire was creeping
down to the heavy charge of powder beneath.
No time was to be lost. Grasping the
burning fuse he summoned up his remain
ing stregth and drew it out from the tamp-
ing. His companions on the surface were
in agonizing state of suspense for few
minutes. When several moments had elaps-
ed, and no explosion followed, they started
down for the purpose of getting the remains
of the victim, whom they supposed had
been dashed to pieces. Their surprise aud
JOY was unbounded at finding him alive. He
was haulded up, and doctor at once sent
for. So far as yet asoertained he received
no internal Injuries, aud will be as we'll az
ever again in few DAYS.

THE WHEAT CORNER

The Ne'c Fork Clique Determined to"Hold
" Her Nossle A0tss the Rank TIN tho Last
Goloot's Ashore"
New York Special Cincinnati Enquirer oath. |
The pending corner in wheat was the ab-
sorbing topic in the produce exchange.
Trade was almost at standstill, for no ono
cares TO operate until things come to head.
Being asked as to the personnel Of the clique,
a leading grain merchant said "Of course
can't tell definitely, but the general i'm
ession is that James Keene is at the head
~ the clique, and that Rufus Hatch has
something to do with it. They and their
friends are said to control ,OOO, 900 bushels
Of grain in Chicago. OF the 1900, 200
bushels afoat, or in the elevators at this port.
they also control a large proportion, e1-
aotly how much no outsider knows.
All their Chicago wheat is No. 2
spring, the standard. and is held there at
$3.50 per tushel. Here the same wheat is
quoted at $1.46, and, right here, I may men
ton two singular facts. In the first place
you should remember that the freight by
rail on bushel Of wheat is twenty -four
cents, while the handling of it aud other
expenses amount to four cents + r*'i',ssa,shel.
This should make the price 81 .58in New York,
when it is 81. 80 in Chicago, but our actual
quotation is $1.46. Secondly, the same grade
that is held here at $1.46 is selling at Liver
pool to-day at $1.42, which shows that the
demand in that market for the present is
light"
'tDo you think there is heavy short in
est in the market?"
"That's what bothers US. We suppose
there ia considerable short interest, but
can not even approximately estimate its
amount, Thus far there is not what We call
corner in wheat, but the Developments of
the next few days may show that there is.
Next month will tell the story. It is known,
however, that the parties who are operating
the pool are financially strong, and that
they are still buying, Their chances of sue
cess depend upon many circumstances that
can not be certainly foreseen. Since Sep
tember last, estimating the shipments from
this date to January 1st, we have shipped to
Europe, say 12o, ,ooo, 600 bushels of grain"
