The San Jacinto mountains are located
in the northeastern portion of San Diego
county, and form the southern boundary
of the San Gorgonio pass. The region
is very wild and rough one, and ex-
tremely difficult to explore. There ex-
lists in one portion of these mountains a
natural or supernatural curiosity, the
source Of which has never yet been ex-
planned, although many attempts have
been made to solve the mystery. At
irregular intervals q heavy report re-
sounds through the region, which can
be ikened only to that of the largest
cannon itensified tenfold. The concus-
sion produced is such as 10 wake per-
son from the soundest sleep, shaking
and rattling everything in the house
more thanis done by any ordinary earth
quake. Sometimes days elapse between
these reports, and on other occasions as
many as three or four are heard in one
aight-that being the favorite time for
their occurrence. This irrsgularity has
operated to defeat all efforts made to dis
cover the exact locality of the phenom-
enon. By the Indians of the region
this is called ''Tah-quish, or the devil.
They have many traditions concerning
it: and manifest the utmost reluctance
10 make any search for the exact spot.
One old Indian, supposed to be upward
of century in age, claims to have acci-
dentally discovered the spot one day
while hunting in his younger days. He
described it as simply a dark tunnel run
ming into the side of the mountain, and
having the appearance at the entrance
of having been exposed to much heat.
Many offers have been made and large
rewards offered to this Indian to per-
suade him to conduct some white man
to the place, but without success. The
most common tradition with the aborig-
ines is that old "Tah-quish" comes out
of his evidently uncomfortable residence
below for the purpose Of obtaining a
breath Of fresh air, and that becoming
alarmed at something he retires in haste,
slamming the door after him, which pro-
duces the report refezred to.

Gently Hinted.


He was lately married, and had no
more idea of what an article of wom-
ans dress costs than an elephant has of
a humming bird; so when his young wife
gently limited one morning that she must
have a new spring bonnet he looked
pleased, and blandly told her to get
something nice and have the bill sent a.
round to the store, and he gave her
goodbye kiss and said he wanted his
little wife to look as we'll as the rest,
and went off humming Sunday-schOol
air. He had been to missionary meet
ing the night before, and, pleased with
the sermon, had promised liberal do
nation to the collecting agent when
he called. as he had announced he
would on that day; SO he took twenty
five dollars and inclosed it in an envelope,
with "From a friend" on the outside,
and then tucked five dollars into his vest
pocket to pay for his wife's bonnet. II
don't suppose it will cost more than half
of that. Ny hats never do, and they
last whole year, but perhaps the gew-
gaws may come to that, he soliIoquized.
About five o'clock P. N. small boy ap-
peared carrying a box, and the lately
married man took the five dollars out of
his pocket and asked for the bill. Its
inside with the bundle" he said. The
master of ceremonies opened the box and
looked vaguely in. 81 don't see any
bonnet" he said. The boy looked on
and grinned. "It's there" he said, 'tin
the corner; it's little un." The hus-
band took it out tenderly with his thumb
and forefinger. 1t looked like gold
horseshoe-a hands breadth of tinsel
with a tri-colored feather. He picked
up the bill; twenty-five dollars Phew
The senior partner of the firm was max
ing up the days account when frantic
individual rushed into his private Office
and exclaimed: "Look here, Smith, look
at this!' II see," said Smith, calmly,
''It's new bonnet" Heaven! do they
cost like that? Why-why didn't you
tell me SO before-before it was too late?"
'1t would have made no difference;
that is one of Nine. La Modes imported
bopnets, you see. 1 know; it's an old
story to me, and if You don't let her have
it, now that she has picked it out; she'll
he urafched and 90 will Won. II Ia really
cheap at that price-see?" He thought
he did; he groaned and walked ont.
Then he took the twenty-five dollars out
of the envelope and paid the boy and
put the five dollars in his vest pocket
with the envelope and laid it away.
When the agent called for help for the
missions the young man thrust the IN
closure into his hand muttering some
thing like "Charity begins at home" "-as
he he'd found by experience.

A collection Of tobacco pipes, now on
view in London, is one of the most inter-
esting of minor art exhibitions. The COL
lection includes specimens of all countries,
and belonging to many periods, of the
been dedicated to the worship of tobacco.
From France come pipes Of Sevres made
in the national porcelain factory; from
Germany old Dresden Pipes and the pipe
formerly smoked by the giant in the pro-
cession of the guilds at Cologne; from
Holland several hundreds of the aesthetic
clay called EARLY Dutch" collected by
Herr Van der Want, Master of the Pipe
makers Guild at Gouda- The Dutch con-
tribution includes also specimens of the
bridegroom pipes, clay ornamented with
ribbons, which the farmer of the polders
smokes on the day of his wedding and then
lays by on the shelf, to be taken down once
year when the anniversary comes round of
the momentous occasion. The pipe is re.
garded with great interest by smokers as
an example Of the various uses which to-
bacco serves in calming feelings of ecstatic
joy and mitigating the pangs of regret.
There are 700 early English pipes; Seandi
navian pipes, with modern runes inscribed
upon them; Siberian bowls, the consola-
ton of the exile, made of hard wood and
mammoth ivory; Basque pipes, and the
costly meerschsum and amber toys smoked
by pschas in their seraglios. Nine,y-six
Of the Japanese pipes are in ivory, twenty
four in wood, horn, rock crystal, agate,
etc. The carvings illustrate the social life
Of japan in Its most amusing relations.
One pipe, which formerly belonged to
Enomoto, foeter brother Of the Emperor,
bears the imperial symbols, and the central
portion is entirely inlaid with gold. The
bowls are extremely small. A pipe con-
tains merely Whit. A piece of tobacco
is rolled up to the size of a pea, and one
long, soothing exhalation exhsusts it. The
smoke IL retained for some time in the
lungs as usual, in the East. 1t is no mat
ter of surprise that, according to the nara
tive of the Earl of Elgin's mission, a ia
panesc will smoke fifty such pipes in
morning. From China come the opium
pipes, which balance the finances of India
tubes of jade or tortoise shell, bowls of
silver and enamel. HOokahs from India,
the calumets of peace and war from North
America, the pipes Of the Aztecs and the
Csribs, the latter called tobacco, whence
the European name of the weed originally
consumed IN them is said to be derived I;
pipes smoked at the great ''customs" in
Central Africa, the sperm whales teeth
carved into bowls, pipes from Caledonia
and New Guinea, are also to be seen.

About Some Fish.

On board United States vessel, in
1873, while sailing south, dolphin was
caught which was of unusual size, some
four feet six inches long. 1t is exceed
mgly interesting to examine the stomach
Of all fish. In this dolphin, however,
nothing very curious turned up, though
the voracity of the fish was quite evident
when the contents of the stomach were
exposed. A lot of coal cinders was found,
and at least "a half pound of three-inch
wrought iron nails. An explanation of
how the fish had swallowed such
strange and indigestible hardware was
readily found. The ships cook was in
tine habit of cleaning out his stove every
morning at half-past four o'clock, and
had been burning a quantity of passen-
gers old berth boards, which had been
held together by wrought from nails, mix
ed up with the cinders, which the dol
phin had swallowed.
An instance of voracity of a similar
character may be told of a shark. In
the spring of 1861, while at anchor off
the coast of Georgia, ships crew
amused themselves by fishing, Their
luck was poor, For some days all the
lines were severed, and there was no
sport. A pilot told rs that tiger shark
was under our bottom, and that it had
taken all our bait. We set to work to
catch it. A shark hook was baited with
a piece of pork, and this soon brought
it to grief. We rigged running bow
line-a kind of nautical lasso-slipped it
over its head, and soon had it hauled on
board, stern foremost. After severing
its vertebral column. We disemboweled
the monster The contents Of the sharks
stomach were exposed to view. Among
many minor items were several large
Jumps of clay, fully peck of beef bones,
many fish hooks, with pieces of the lines
belonging to us, two horseshoe crabs
seven inches wide, pieces If stones, prob
ably ballast, and half-worn boot. The
inquisitiveness of the writer led him to
examine the boot most carefully, to find
out what had been the effect of the gas
tric juices on the leather and the nails.
On the 'uper" some few spots of green
were visible. This was determined to be
green paint. The evidences were that
somebody had been engaged in painting
a short time before. But had the painter
dropped overheard from some vessel :?
had he been swallowed by the shark and
was this boot all that remained of the
man?
The intelligence of fish remains as yet
an unwritten chapter, which requires fu-
ture study. What instincts We may al
low birds in their migrations are followed
out even more miraculously by fish. If
birds can see landmarks, it is not i'm
probable that the water fish can be

Bells in Burma1.

The love of bells in Burmah is some
what remarkable. Every large pagoda
has some dozen of them, of all sizes,
hanging round the skirts of the Zaydee,
image houses, and Zayats. One or two
were put up with the building itself;
others have been added in various times
by the religious. Most of them have
long Pail inscriptions on them recording
the praises of the Lord and the aspira-
tions Of the giver. Here and there are
few with Burmese dedications, pre-
sented by the poor, simple jungle peo-
pie, the monks in whose district did not
know Pail, or had the grace to say they
were not learned enough to write an
original composition in that language.
Every Burman has learned certain
number of Pail formula, to enable him
to worship at the pagoda; but few even
of the most renowned Tsadaus have any,
thing like thorough knowledge of the
sacred language. Hence, when there is
modest monk in the Kyoung, the sim
pie cultivators have to fall back on their
own vernacular, and produce plaintive
appeals like the following; "This bell
was made with great care and much ex-
pense, and is presented by Moung Tsang
Yah, of the hamlet of Nga Pay Oh, in
the township of Maoobin, and Mahmah
Gyee his wife, who seek refuge in the
boundless morcy of the pitiful Buddha,
in the majesty of the eternal law. and in
the venerable assembly, the three gems.
They visit the precious things faithfully
on the appointed days. Applaud, ye
pious. They humbly strive to gain for
themselves merit. May the good Mats
who3guard the forest and the field look
smilingly on them, and guard the poor
mans crops. May the Mats who dwell
in the air and the earth defend from evil
things the two fat bullocks which plough
the fields. May the guardian Mats of
the house and the city keep from harm
the Chit 90, their son, and little Nah
Nee. their darling daughter. And may
the merit of this offering be halved with
their children. May the excellent Lord
pity them; the holy Assembly receive
them. SO shall Moung Tsan Yah and
Nah Nah Gyee gain much merit and
rejoice in presenting this bell. Weight

wonders OF Broom Corn.

Broom corn is likely at no distant day
to revolutionize the breadstnff supply of
the world. A process has been discov-
cred by which the finest and most deli
cious -four can be made from the seed
to the extent of one-haf its weight, and
leave the other half valuable food for
making beef and milk. The average
yield per acre is three hundred bushels,
and in many instances five hundred
bushels, or thirty thousand pounds, have
been secured. Nor does it exhaust the
soil a. Indian corn, from the fact that it
feeds from the deeper soil, and assimi
lates its food from q cruder state. 1t
belongs to the same gems as the sweet
cane, commonly known as sorghum,
which a. an article Of food is growing
rapidly in public esteem, and from the
seed Of which . most nutritious -four can

lures. He returns here tomorrow
night. The roads are lonely. 1 hate

"Who wouldnt?" retorted the
poacher.
Wild and black was the evening of the
next day. A gale of wind such as never
had been experienced for years swept
across the land. No rain fell, but vivid
was the lightning that shot down now
and again from the clouds.
For reasons of his own, indeed, that
no suspicion might rest on him, the
Squire had passed the day at town in
contrary direction to Sarcombs, but,
tortured by anxiety, and eager to learn
StacpooPs success, having an appoint
ment with him at ten, despite the
weather, he had mounted his horse, di-
recting its head towards the Hall.
Soon he was far from the town, in the
darkness of the land, the fierce wind
tearing around him, making his horse
stagger, and his own seat unsteady.
More than once the animal had reared
at the lightning. All who know any
thing of horses are aware of the brief
space there is between fear and panic.
Just where the road was densest and
widest a vivid fash rent the clouds
setting, as it seemed the whole earth on
fire, followed by q fearful crash of
thunder, so unparalleled that it made the
strongest hearts tremble.
The Squire's horse reared, uttering a
scream, then, with dilated eyeballs,
dashed on, the bit betwixt its teeth.
That fearful crash aroused the whole
village. Jennie Cathcart. alarmed and
scared, reflected how pleased she was
that Ned had sent message deferring
his return until the morning.
The old sexton had sprung fairly from
his bed.
"Bless us, missis y he calculated !;
''sure the worlds coined to an end
Save us, what gust of wind!''
SIT surely is !" said the sexton, CROP
ing his way to the easement.
Then he gave loud cry, for before
him, clear to the other side of the green,
was space. .
"Alack, man what is it?" cried his
wife.
"The village oak is down, It's down
Woe, woe, then, to the Trevors !" he an
swered.
Woe, indeed
The next morning broke calm and
glorious. The wind sobbed gently, as
if repentant for the havoc it had done
but gloom rested over the village, as
the people grouped about the fallen
monarch.
who'll tell the Squire?" whispered
the sexton.
Who?
Stay Who were these people coming
yonder?
Servants in the Trevor livery, hastily
put ON, and bearing something between
them
As they drew near the oak, the vii
layers gathered round; the sexton, as
usual, first.
1t was a man, pale and still, they car
ried.
"The Squirrel cried the sexton,
throwing up his arms.
1t was so.
His horse, shivering and foam fiecked,
had been found outside the stable door
that morning riderless. The servants,
alarmed, had started in search, and
found Marmaduke Trevor dead on the
road.
Which fell first, none knew; but the
sexton always affirmed that it was the
village oak.
