A Fandango at La venta.

1t 80 happened that we reached Ia
Venta on festive occasion. A faudangO
was in full blast but short distance
from our quarters, and a large number
of strange Indians from the surrounding
country We're in the village. Our advent
had caused temporary suspension of
the festivities, but the people soon be-
gan to drift that way again, and by the
time we had finished our supper the
music of harp and bondoion could be
progress. Alexandra told us that the
village would probably grow lively to-
ward midnight as the dance continued,
for the Indians were drinking good
deal of meScai, and many of them We're
still coming in from the country. He
informed me that the Alcalde OF the
town had already hidden himself, as is
the custom on such occasions, and that
we must be on onr guard, for the Indians
We're bad men when drunk, and inclined
TO dislike strangers. We we're all armed
to the teeth, however, and felt no APP
prehensions. After supper, Marion and
| sailed out into the dark street, and,
following the sound of the music, soon
found ourselves in the midst Of the
crowd of wild, half-naked jewellers. The
dancing was carried on under the shed
which was Lit up by pine-knots, throwing
out wierd glare over the duslSy crowd.
A number OF mon and women would step
into tho open space and shuttle slowly
around, each one apparently on his own
responsibility, and with no regard to
figure. In the meantime those who
were not dancing would squat in a cir
Gle around the open space, and sing
monotonously in time with the music Of
the Instruments. The dancers would
finally retire and others take their places,
the process being repeated with little or
no variations But il was in the outcr
rim of the circle that the real fun seemed
to be going on. Little groups were
gathered here and there, drinking, sing
ing and carousing, and, as we left the
crowd and picked our way back to our
lodgings, we noticed one Of our men,
Ponciano by name, ogling n dusly
maiden, and treating her TO drink Of
orchata. d. S. Richardson ia Gull

His Holiness Pope Leo XIII. appears
TO he decidedly enigmatical parsonage,
if we may trust the account given OF him
by the Roman correspondent OF tho
Cologne Gazette. The most striking fact
about him so far appears to he the slight
extent TO which his character is known
either by the faithful at large or by the
inmates Of the Vatican. Every one knew
how Plus TX. lived; his hours were
allotted beforehand, and the same duties
always performed at the same moment.
There is total want Of this regularity in
his successor. He keeps. late hours, and
has sometimes been found by his ser
wants at his desk in the early morning
half dazed after writing through the
night. He has all his meals served TO
him in tine greatest privacy, is much
more sparing Of audiences than was Plus,
and even his State Secretary and the
Cardinals can only see him at irregular
intervals. The great innovation he has
made has been his partial suppression
Of the above mentioned official, who un-
der Plus TX. practically administered
the affairs of the the Papacy. He has
set on foot chancellery Of his own, con-
gisting Of three Private Secretaries, and
conducts his affairs with their aid quite
independently of the State Secretary,
and often over his head. II not unfre-
ouentlv happens that orders 60 down TO
tbe Bishoprics from the State Secretary,
and are cancelled in day or two by diff
ferent orders from the Pope, or that the
/ Secretary brings papers to His Holiness
and tells him that he has settled par
ticular matter in such way, merely in
order to be told that the Pope himself
had already settled it in quite different
way. One thing is clear, that Leo XIII.
means TO be master in his own house;
but the exact aim and tendency OF his
policy is by no means equally evident
But Leo comes from the country Of the
Cioccari, and IL is believed in Italy that

also TO be strongly entertained by the
correspondent.-I'aH Mall Gazette. -

Trees and Health.

Everybody knows that trees take the
earbonic acid thrown out in the breath
of men and animals, separated into com
ponent parts-carbon and oxygen-give
back the latter to be used over again,
and work up the former into wood and
fruits.
1t is also coming to be generally ln-
derstood that forest trees do important
service in promoting rainfalls, and In
helping to retain the surface water for
springs, streams and general use.
1t is also known that certain species
planted in malarial localities, help to
render the latter healthy by somehow
using up the deadly miasma.
1t would now appear that trees grow
ing near drains carry off the sewerage
water.
A gentleman, whose cess-drain was
constructed just like his neighbors' and
in the same kind of soil, had found It
unnecessary to clean it out, while the
others had to be cleaned out frequently.
An examination showed that three
large trees, whose roots had penetrated
into the vicinity of his second, or waste
cess-pool, were clearly channels through
which the waste all escaped.
Whether it was changed into plant
food, as is likely, or was exhaled through
the leaves, in either case it was disposed
Of with equal safety.

Olympus.


Did ever HELENE, shepherd, priest
or King, dare to climb up the slopes Of
Olympus, away above the lofty pastures
Of Its dales and crests2 Did even one
only venture, by placing his foot upon
the great peak, to find himself suddenly
IN the presence of these terrible
gods? Ancient writer's tell us that phil
osophers are not afraid of scaling Mount
Etna, although much higher than Olym-
pus; but they never mention one single
mortal who has had the temerity to
ascend the mountain of tho gods, not
even in the days of science, in that age
when philosophers Taught that Zeus and
the other immortals were mere concep-
tons Of the human mind.
Later on, other religious, disseminated
among the various people living in the
surrounding plains, took possession of
the sacred mountain and consecrated it
to new divinities There the Greek
Christians worshiped the Holy Trinity
instead of Zeus; they still look upon its
three principal peaks as the three great
thrones Of Heaven. One of its loftiest
points, which formerly, perhaps bore
temple Of Apollo, is now surmounted by
a monastery of st. Elias; one of its dales,
wherein the Bacchantes were wont to
sing 'Evoe" in honor of Dionysos or
Bacchus, is inhabited by the monks of
st. Denys. Priests have succeeded to
priests, and the superstitious respect Of
modern times to the worship of the
ancient; but perhaps the highest sum
nit is yet untrodden by human steps;
the soft light, respondent above its
rocks and snow, has not beamed upon
any man since the Hallenic gods took
their departure.
A few years ago it would have been
difficult for a European to attain the
summit of the mountain, for the Hellenic
hephtes, unerring shots, occupied all
its gorges; they had intrenched them
selves in it, MS within an enormous cita-
del, and thence, recommending the con-
fiict Of the gods against the pitans, they
set out upon their expeditions against
the Turks of Mount Ossa. Proud of
their courage, they believed themselves
invincible as the mountain upon which
they lived; they endowed Olympus it.
self with life. 81 am" said one of their
songs, 81 am Olympus, illustrious in all
ages, and renowned amid Nations; forty
two peaks bristle upon my brow; seventy
two fountains flow down my ravines,
and an eagle is perched upon my highest
summit, bearing in its claws the head Of
a valiant hero" This eagle, no doubt,
was that of the ancient Zeus. Even
nowadays he feeds on man, by man
