An Outrage at Vienna.

A strange discovery has been made
in the Burg. There is certain lofty
gallery leading from the chamber Of
the Crown Prince TO the chapel. and the
walls of this passage are lined with his
torical pictures of an immense value
Still, this gallery is neither very well
lighted nor much used. and the pict-
ures. precious rs they are. have only
been placed there because of their great
size. Workmen have lately been en-
ployed in repairing the Geographic
communication between the different
parts of the vast building. and in the
course of their labor skvlight looking
on TO this corridor has been opened.

holes are left. The perpetrator OF this
piece of vandalism is as unknown rs the
motive which induced the act. Perhaps
it was done out of mere reckless mis-
chief. but it might also be the work OF
some '.Peeping Tom" who wished to

brave young chief of the tribe became
enamored OF q beautiful maiden,
With eyes as bright. and step as light.
And graceful as the startled roe;
Whose hair was like the wing OF night.
Waved In the suns departed glow.
The young lovers passion was evil
IDENTIFY returned. but cruel parents OPP
posed them, and their interviews were
stolen and few and far between. The
young chief was at times watcher of
the sacred fire. and on one occasion
while thus engaged he heard the plant
i've and melancholy song of bird.
fastening into the neigboring grove, he
was overjoyed to find his beloved mis-
tress. There the lovers pledged their
hearts over and over again, and were
the happiest Of mortal beings. When
he returned to the temple the Young
man discovered to his Horror that the
sacred flame had expired, and that the
altar which had for centuries glowed
with living fire was dark and cold.
When the sun again illuminated the
hills there was no response of the sacred
smoke. and the priests fastened To the
temple to learn the cause. As soon As
they learned the truth, the maiden
whose beauty had been the main cause
of this terrible catastrophe was slain. a
propitiary sacrifice to the offended gods.
The young chief was spared. but he WAS
doomed to make atonemcnt in long
periods Of fasting and prayer. after
which, with solemn and imposing cere-
monies. he was sentenced To imprison-
ment in the center Of the great mound.

back from heaven the lost fire. The
chief supposed that this would be an
easy task, since he could produce fire by
the friction of two pieces of wood. u
practice common among his people.
But, overcome by religious fear. his
strength of arm appeared to have de-
parted; and when. after long and pa
tent labor, the fire was about to come.
a tear of regret for his sacrificed mis-
trsss would fall upon the just-igniting
wood and leave his interminable task
for another renewal.
Although centuries have passed away,
says a narrator, since this tragic event.
old men among the Natchez in their
day-dreams often speak reverentially Of
the young chief, whom they still believe
to be in the great mound. engaged in
his sorrowful labor. and they confident

A PECULIAR HEAD.

Mr.. Benefits admirers claim that he has
got "a lawyer In his head" Exactly what
the advantages are of carrying around a
member ofthe profession concealed in ones
cranium, is not directly ascertsinable
at the present writing but they probably
rank only second to q tan ear or brick IN
his hat. There is probably plenty of room
IN Mr.. Benefits head for most anything,
but his bsst friends should advocate that
he fill it up with small amount OF inferma-
ton and trifiing. acquaintace with the
English language Locking at it as a
head there is nothing particularly rema,ka-
bic about Mr.. Benefits caput, but taken
in consideration with the fact that he has

proportions almost mammoth. It is not

his usefulness to Barnum, as a curiosity

Exactly how the limb of the law got there

entirely too high if Bennett is assessor. Tt

should not have some benefit from it, the

THE OUTLOOK.

The prospects for democratic success In
this city next month is most fattering
The party is united and confident, and
with the addition of good nominations
next Saturday, have every reason to sx.
pect sweeping victory. The course OF
the present republican city officials has
had the effect of shaking the confidence OF
the citizens insthe usefulness and safety OF
longer republican rule. and all vetsrs, who
desire good government and change
from our present extravagant and reckless
expenditure, turn to the democratic party
as guarantee against any further repiti-
tions of the same. The nationals offer
nothing except foolish opposition to all
needed health ordinances, and-as in the
Second ward-base their sole argument
for ascendency on desire TO spread dirt
and propagate disease. The republican
party is badly divided over the Warren in
vestigation and its outcome; the party
organ, the Mayor and two aldermen con-
stituting the leaders of one faction while a
majority of the party form4the ether The
former, in their endeavor to save Warren
from an exposure of his misdeeds,
have succeeded In stirring up q
considerable opposition, and in conse-
quenee are endeavoring to retaliate in
kind. This feeling is noticeable in the
Fourth Ward, where an attempt has been
made to defeat the nomination of Alder
man Whitney because he favored a strict
investigation OF Warren. being the only
republican so disposed @

Kepdrick states that the base of the

this by an hypothesis that the comets

mined by studying the amount Of
increase in the brilliancy of the stars
behind them.

Indians First Sight of the Ocean.

The Zuni chiefs were driven 10 the
New York Mutual building en- Milk
street, and from the summit of the
marble tower, which is 1S5 feet from
the ground, they caught their first
glimpse of the ocean. On en- crying
from the tower upon the balcony which
surrounds it Mr.. Gushing pointed out
into the bay, and informed the chiefs
that the ocean was out there. Amid
many exclamations of delight, they re.
peated, very many times: "Show hal'
which Mr.. Cushing states is a superla-
tive term, indicating the most pro.
found veneration and surprise.
At first they seemed little dazed,
but as soon as they realized that they
we're at length in the presence of the
much-longed-for "ocean of SUNRISE"
they all fell simultaneously to repeat
ing, in q sing-song undertone, certain
prayers. These lasted several minutes,
and during their continuance they threw
to the winds handfuls of "prayer flour
they had br, night with them mixture
OF fine sea shells and white corn flour.
Having completed their devotions, the
chiefs commenced to expatiate upon
what they saw around them, particular
ly upon the tremendous extent Of the
pueblo of Boston.
Pointing to the line OF the horizon of
the bay, : the chief of the five said
"That is the black blue of the ocean,
and that is the foam thrown up when it
is angry. We have waited for many
generations to see this which our fathers
have told us of. We now see it. Pass
ing wonderful are the things We sea
here. On one side the ocean, and on
the other world of houses. The whole
world is filled with different tribes of
men."-BoStOn Post.
