LEGENDS OF DETROIT.
The Unrequited Love of Maj. Glad.
VIVIAN Incident of the Siege.

One bright May morning in 1853, while
Pontiac and his savage hordes lay before
Detroit, two men were engaged in earnest
conversation in front of the council
house, within the besieged place. The
most CONSPICUOUS was the tall determined
looking man, clad in the uniform, Of an
English officer, whose features were
almost picturesque in their ruggedness.
1t was Maj. Gladwyn, commander of the
post, whose abrupt and impatient
gestures were in striking contrast with
the easy, graceful manners of his COM
panion, Maj. Jean Chapoton, who had
been the first surgeon of Fort Pont-
chartrain, and who, several years pre-
vious to the English conquest, had re-
signed from the French army and settled
in Detroit.
THE AMBASSADOR TO THE ILLINOIS.
1t was evident from the eager, anxious
glance they cast along the street every
now and then, that they expected some
one. Presently they were joined by
younger man of medium height, but of
powerful physique, and whose dress be-
spoke preparations for long and tedi-
Gus journey. The new conner was
Jacque Godefroy dc Moub9uf, whose
ancestors had come to Canada in 1886.
Left an orphan at q tender age, he had
been brought up by his eldest sister,
the wife of Trottier de RuisseauS, the
sister-u-law Of De Tonty and De Beles-
ire, two French commandments of Fort
Pontchartrain. 1t was the English pol
icy to conciliate the French element,
who Were placed in a strange and trying
position, like prisoners on capitulatiOn
and who preserved neutral grounds in
the quarrel between the English and
Indians. Godefroy's thorough knOwl-
edge of the Indians habits aud customs,
his love of adventure, and his family
connection had made him an individual
acquisition to Gladwyn. He and Maj.
Chapoton had been sent to try their in
tluence on Pontiac, but in vain; and it
was at the request of the chief (Pontiac)
himself that Godetroy was now going to
the country of the Illinois, where
French soldier-Monsieur de Leon-still
retained command, the object being to
bring the officer or another influential
one to convince the Indians that France
had no longer claims on Detroit-a dilu-

A SONS TRIBUTE.

The father Of Hon. O. A. Lochrane, of
Georgia, recently died in Ireland, and
Mr.. Lochrane pays him the annexed
beautiful tribute: 49, 4 aH So
Throughout life prolonged to near
ly one hundred years, he wore stainless
name and unsullied reputation. Liber-
al-his heart melted to charity Good
his religion scared above all creeds and
came from God; learned and eloquent
of speech-he was more given to philos-
ophy than words. He was passionately
fond Of music and poetry, and overflow
cd with anecdote and good humor.
For suffering he had pity-for errors
he had Apologize would praise, not
criticise-palliate, not condemn. In the
partiality of his friends he wore their
loyalty, and many an eye was misty
with tears and many a heart, clad in
Grape, following him tothe tomb. After
fifty years companionship, my mother
left him year ago last June, and his
heart went with her-from her grave at
lyman, spirit arms rachel out to gather
him to her side. They now sleep to-
gether and the flowers win creep in fes-
toons over their commingled dust. The
marble that points the place would not
blush at what even his enemies might
write upon it Of his honor, his honesty
or his manhood. | can say no more.

DISCOVERY OF A,veLCANO.

Intelligence received at Richmond,
Va, from Gautley Bride, Fayette coun-
ty, states that there is. intense excite
ment over the discovery Of a volcano.
While. Mr.. James G.. jones was pros
pecting for minerals on top of one Of the
Allegheny Mountains he made the dis
covery. He telegraphs the following
brief account:

The old system Of cutting cemetery
grounds into small lots surrounded by
hedges bids fair to pass away entirely.
All over the country the park, landscape
or lawn system in gaining favor. 1t con-
sists in 3 series Of plantations Of shrubs
and trees, SO arranged that the effect of
the entire cemetery, from the main
drives, is that Of an extensive paralk.
evidence of existing burial grounds be-
ing shut off by foliage. OF course, in
this system, the hedge-and-fence mon
strosity finds no place. Vaults or cata-
combs are excavated in the hillsides,
erected in retired hooks. More land is
required for this arrangement, but its
attractive, rural character seems to COM
mend it to all.

A Town BUILT on DIAMoNDs,

No town in Africa can boast such rap
i'd growth as Kimberley, the seat Of Gov
eminent in Griqualand West, and the
headquarters of the South African dia-
mond diggings. Eleven years ago not a
hut stood where now some 16, 600 people,
with trade Of over two millions a year,
form one Of the most thriving communi-
ties on the African continent. It is now
discovered that the town is built upon
land which promises to be as productive
of diamonds as the neighboring "dig.
gings," which have been the source ofits
wealth and the very origin of its exist
ence. Kimberley it identical with the
New Rush" Diamond Settlement of
1870; and the thousands who focked to
the locality to secure "claim" in the
valuable reefs, which have been worked
further and further to the east of the site
of the future town, were in such a hurry
to seek their fortune in the diggings that
they forgotto inquire whether the soil on
which they pitched their tents or erected
their log-huts were notequally diamond
ferrous.
AS the wooden shanties have given
place to more substantial buildings, it
has been found that Kimberley itself has
been built Oh diamond-feld, and that
the West end or residential part of the
town is as full of gems as the actual
diggings themselves at the eastern or
working end of the town. New claims
are being taken up in all directions, and
land which was beginning to acquire
considerable value as building sites has
suddenly assumed fresh Importance as
possibly containing some new "Star OF
South Africa How many houses will
be pulled down in the search for the
diamonds upon which they are built it
would be difficult to say. But it will be
interesting to watch the future progress
of a town which owes it's existence and
its subsequent partial destruction and
removal to the same cause.-The abun-
dance of the diamonds in the midst Of
which it appears to have grown.

THE CHILD.DYKE-

/ Holland is beautiful country, full Of
green fields, with cattle and sheep graz
ing in the pastures ); but there are few
trees and no hills to. be seen.
The ground is SO fat and low that two
or three times the sea hasrusAed in over
parts Of it and destroyed whole towns.
In one ofthese floods, about two hundred
years ago, more than twenty thousand
people were drowned. In some Of the
towns that We're flooded not creature
survived |' 't.,0t9 #iS .li
A large part of the water that came il,
at the time Of that flood still remains.
1t is known as cine Mass,n and in one
part of it there is a little green island
/ a part Of an old dyke or dam-which is
called the 3kindsr dyke OF child-dyke,
and it got it's name in this way:
The water rushed in over one Of the
little Friesland villages, and no ono had
any warning. In ONE Of the honses there
lay child asleep in it's cradle ian old
fashioned cradle, made tight and strong
Of good stout wood.
By the side of the cradle lay the old
cat, baby's friend, probably pnrring
away as comfortably as possible! In
came the waters with fearful roar.
The old cat, in her fright, jumped into
the cradle with the baby, who slept
through all the turmoil as quietly az
ever. The house was torn from it's foam
dations and broken in pieces. But the
little cradle foatel out on the angry
sea in that dark night, bearing safely
its precious burden. .i& fs'2s !.
When morning came there was moth
ing to be seen of the village and green
meadows. All was water. Hundreds
of people We're ont in boats, trying to
save as many lives as possible; and on
this little bit of an island what do you
think they found' Why, that same old
cradle, with the baby asleep in it, and
the old cat curled up at her feet, all safe
and sound! Ay.f l
Where the little voyagers came from,
and to whom they belonged, no one
could tell. Bnt, in memory of them,
this little island was called "kinder-
dyke" child-dyke-and it goes by that
name to this day; and this story is told
to thousands of little people all over
Holland as a remarkable instance of
Gods providence. What became of this
little child when it grew up we do not
know. It would be interesting, no,
doubt, to our young readers to know
for what it was thus preserved by Gods
care, but we have no record.

ON GETTING KISSED.
From the Courier.Journal.}

From the Courier.J ournal]
You kissed me and this life at once seemed to
die; ..
Ny soul, winged with transport. scared up to
the sky
In clouds Of bright rainbows it foated along,
While echo gave back its thanksgiving song.
But moment it lasted, and yet would give
Nv whole life another such moment to live;
And though Paradise claims an infinite bliss,
I'd lose it to gain but another such kiss.
Oh thus to be kissed is a joy supreme
/ er felt one like it except in dream
And then awoke and sought, but in vain,
With my heart all in fame to dream it ~ ain.
The glance that you gave me seemed almost
divine,
The touch of your soft hair, entangled with mine,
Thrilled through my whole being, absorbing In
bliss
That moment ofrapture produced by the kiss.
The dew of your kiss as it welded my own,
Spoke soft to my heart in silvery tone;
IT broke like a bubble from your lips on mine
And perfuned my breath with the fragrance Of
thine.
My proud lips blushed red as they felt them
selves kissed
And y sigh. born in rapture, was drowned in
the mist
Tb,f roSe from the fountain of iOv in nv breast
Whose found murmur lulled each sad thought
to rest.
While memory inscribed on her tablets for aye,
The birth of the kiss and the death of the sigh.
