,,Frazier's Mapnzine.


 Ludicrous as the powers appear to us at the present day with which witchcraft in former times was credited, such pow- CTS seem never to have been denied or disputed by the great miDds of the past. A wi oh was all that was abominaole, and te be he'd in the strongest loathing; but few had the wisdom or the courage 10 contradict the possibility of her exer. cising the arts she pretended to. The judge, as he passed sentence upon the condemned woman, trembled lest her fell gaze should bring upon him and his household sorrow or death. The yelling crowd, as 1t half stripped her to undergo the water ordeal. shuddered as it saw upon her exposed bosom the marks which, it was supposed, proved that she allowed her familiar" to draw upon her ife's blood. The villagers who went miles out of the way to avoid her haunts never for one moment believed that the object of their fear was powerless to work them evil, and was either half-mad woman, the victim of hideous delusien, or else the actress of knavish part to suit her own vile ends. To all the old crone with her tall hat, crutch, stick and black cat nestling on her shoulder, was one
 
 who, through the might of satanic aid, could scatter the seeds of misery broad cast wherever she listed. She had sold herself. body and soul, to hell, and until death claimed her, her power to effect evil, it was alleged, was unlimited. Phe great man is he who rises superior to the prejudices of his age; but before the end of the seventeenth century-with the exception of Bodin, Erastus, Reginald Scot, John Wagstaffe and Dr. Webster there were none who had the boldness or the knowledge to brand wichcralt as a base and palpable supersti- tion. We find Lord Bacon grave ly prescribing henbane, hem, lock, mandrake, moonshade, tobacco, opium and other soporiferous medi- cines," as the best ingredients for witches ointment. From the pages Of his History of the World" we see that the gifted and practical Sir Walter Ra~ leigh was firm believer in this child ish form of superstition. The learned Selden, in his "Table Talk" while pleas antly discoursing on the subject of witches, shows that he also held the same faith. Sir Thomas Browne, the kindliest of physicians; Sir Matthew Hale, one of the most acute and spotless of judges; Hobbs, the sceptic; "the em. meat Dr. More of Cambridge" and the patient and thoughtful Boyle, all were of opinion that witchcraft was an evil capable of solid proof, and that it's dis ciples merited sharp and swift punish- ment. It was not until the dawn of the eighteenth century that men came to the conclusion that the devices of witches and Witchmouoars were onlv so many tricks and fables and utterly un- worthy of credence. The last judicial execution in England for witchcrait took place in the year l7l6, when a woman and her little daughter were hanged at Huntingdon "for selling their souls to Satan" Since that date, how ever, various cases have. occurred oi women, accused as witches, being drowi ed while undergoing the ordeal ly water at the hands of their intimidated yet infuriated neighbors.

WHY FRENCH wIpowERs RE-mARRY
The Peculiar View Taken by People of
 France on the Marriage Que stfon

The Peculiar View Taken by People of
 France on the Marriage Question.
 An Engiishman residing in France sends the following letter to the Pail Mall Gazette:
 Permit noe to answer question Iut in your interesting note of the 30th concerning the large proportion of French widowers who marry again. How is the fact to be explained? you ask. l think l can elucidate the subject. In the first place French widower marries again on the ground of sociability-sen- timent not much entering into French notions Of marriage-and expediency; perhaps, before all things. The dowry of the wife on her decease going back to her relatives or being dis posed of for the benefit of her children, French widower remarries as matter of course in order to continue living on the same scale as before. Comfort, social standing, in many cases the exigencies 3f business, demand a second marriage. Nor are these common-sense motives the only ones coming under the head of expediency. Give me leave to say in spite of much prejudice on this side of La Manche, to the contrary, that Frcnchmen entertain an extraordinary respect for marriage as social institution and bond. French widowers remarry as much to keep themselves out of bad company and foul mouthed gossip as anything, and also to ensure their old age against the machinations of bad woman-servants. With lady at the head of the house, in whom he finds 8
 ympathetic friend, careful housekeep- CT, and a sharer of all the burdens of life. a Frenchman feels himself safe-safe in respects both moral and material. Thus it comes about that immediately man loses hls wife his friends and well-wish- CTS begin to look about for a partner suitable in character, education and means-the last an all-important point. One word more as to the social side of the ques ion. It must be borne in mind that the French widower IS never left the solace of his German neighbor, viz. houseful of daughters. In England how many man IS prevented from remarry- ing out of consideration for his grown-up unmarried daughters, one or two of whom he will probably keep with him in his old age. A French father is very differ entlv placed. His one daughter or two it is seldom we find more-are natu- rally and as matter of course married immediately they leave school, so that the widower is left in solitude for the rest of his days unless he takes a wife. Of course single women there are in France, but they are either in convents or earning their living away from home, and 1t is not in accordance with French notions that a girl should become mis- tress of her fathers house. It is prefer red to give her one of her own, and let the paternal home have mistress more suited to the head in age, tastes and sympathies-a reasonable view enough.

FIRST TIME AT CHURCH.

A grave sweet wonder in thy baby face, And look of mingled dignity and grace, Such as painter hand might love 10 trace. A pair of nusting, innocent blue eyes, That higher than the stained-glass windows
 rise, Into the lair and cloudless summer skies. The people around her sing, Above the sky There's rest for little children when they
 die"- To her-thus gazing up-that rest seems
 nigh. The organ peals; she mustnot look around, Although wits wonderment her pulses
 bound The place whereon she stands is holy
 ground. The sermon over, and the blessing said She bows-as mother does"-her golden
 head; And thinks of little sister who is dead. She knows that now she dwells above the
 sky, Where holy children enter when they die, A nd prays God take her there toe, by and
 by. Pet, may He keep you in tbe faith alway, And bring you to that home for which you
 pray, Where ali shall have their childshearts back

Animals and Earthquakes.
N. Y. Sun.

An Italian writer on the recent catas- trophe on the Island of Jschia mentions those prognostics of an earthquake which are derived from animals. They were observed in every place where the shocks were such as to be gene rally per ceptible. Some minutes before they were felt the oxen and cows began to below, the sheep and goats bleated and rushed in wild confusion one on the other, tried to break the wicker-work of the fields; the dogs howled terribly, the geese and fowls were alarmed, and made much noise; the horses which were Iast- ened in their stalls were greatly agitated leaped up. and tried to break the hal ters with which they were attached to managers; those which were proceeding on the roads suddenly stopped, and snorted in very strange way. The cats were frightened and tried to conceal themselves, or their hair bristled up wildly. Rabbits and moles ere seen to leave their holes; birds rose; as if scared, from the places on which they alighted; and fish left the bottom of the sea and approached the shores, where at some places great numbers of them were taken. Even ants and reptiles abandon ed in clear daylight, their subterranean holes in great disorder many hours be- fore the shocks were felt. Some dogs, a few minutes before the first shock took place, awoke their sleeping masters by barking and pulling them, as if they wished to warn them of the impending danger, and several persons were thus enabled to save themselves.

The Newspaper of the Future.
Philadelphia Pres

The New York HeraId of Sunday print ed what it called sextuple sheet-that is, it consisted of twenty eight pages of six columns each, making l6S columns in all, weighing about a pound and half. The Herald was extremely proud of its size, and boasted that it had reached the highest mark of journalism. If size was meant, the clam, however is not good. The Chicago Times of Saturday consisted of twenty-four pages of eight columns each, or 192 columns in all. The columns of the Times too, are longer than those of the Herald, and it probably contained one-fourth more composition. In addi- ton to this the Times had less than one half as many advertisements as the Her dld. and thus contained twice as much reading matter. The Times of Chicago, therefore, has reached higher mark in iournalisln-size considered-than the Herald of New York.
 It is a question, however, whether these journals are made more attractive to their readers by the mammoth pro- portions they occasionally assume.
 The Herald yesterday was duller than it has been for long time, and the Tunes of Saturday was DO brighter than 1t usu- ally is. The mistake that both journals make in boosting of their size is in one case that people read newspapers for their advertisements, and in the second that the estimate the quality of a journal by the quantity of white paper they get for their two, three or five cents as the case may be.
 The newspaper of the future will neither be a directory of trade nor a blanket sheet. MT. Dana, of The Stn, who goes to the extreme of condensed journalism, is looking forward to the day when advertisements will be altogether banished from its columns, and when he makes that step he will find plenty of imitators. At the same time the tend ency of newspaper development nowa- days is against large sheets or numerous pages, which are inconvenient to handle and in which news is not infrequently like needles in a haystack. The popular newspaper of the time is one which con- tains all the news in compact form, whose pages are open, which can be easily folded and stored in ones coat pocket, and whose transportation does not require the services of an express wagon and team of Percheron horses.

Blinded by the wind of Cannon Ball.
 Augusta Me. J~urral

Gen. Henry Boynton, of Augusta, United States Claim Agent, has recently secured a pensIon for Ward A. Knox, formerly of Company D. First Maine Heavy Artillery, for almost total blind ness, caused by cannon ball, in the battle in front of Petersburg, passing close to his face. The shot did not touch the soldier, but the wind of the shell ef- fected his eyes disastrously, On full in- vestigation these facts were fully proved, not only by the testimony of comrades who were there with him, but also by corroborative statements made by the Assistant Surgeon of his regiment, Dr. A. K. Lincoln, who was on the field and gave his professional attention to the case at the time of it's occurrence. So severe was the injury caused 10 the 70 dieT's eyes by the wind of the shot that the Government has awarded him SIP month pension.

IT is natural, after the assassination of an emperor, that extraordinary precau- tions should be taken to prevent similar catastrophes in future. Accordingly, we learn that living chain of Cossack pa- trols invests St. Petersburg, and that there is no means of ingress or egress, either for Nihilist conspirators or peaceable citizens. A conference of German dynamite manufacturers has been held in Berlin to limit the sale of that explosive to private persons.
