Manitoba Lake.

The Manitoba lake, which has given
name to the province formed eat of the
Red river region, is called after u small
island, whence, in the stiffness of the
night, Issue strangely-sweet, mysterious
sounds. The Oiibway Indians who
dwell in that neighborhood believe the
island to be the home of Manitoba, the
speaking God, and will not land on or
approach it for any consideration, think
ing they would desecrate or profane it,
and that they would meet with some ter
able fate for their impiety. The sound
is caused, it has been ascertained, by the
beating Of the waves on the large peb
bles along the shore. These. with frag-
ments of hne-grained, compact limestone
from the cliffs above, are rubbed togcth-
er by the action OF the water, and give
out toue Ike that of distant church
bells. This natural music is heard when
the wind blows from the north, and, as
it subsidies, low, piaintive notes, resem
bling voices of an invisible choir, are
heard. 1t has been compared to the
chant of the nuns at the Trinita lie Mont
in Rome, with which all travellers are
familiar. The effect is impressive.
Tourists have been awakened at night
in the vicinity, under the impression
that chimes Of bells were ringing affair
of, and that their tones were ripping
over the lake. The mystic bells of
Manitoba have acquired such reputa-
ton that travellers are not satisfied until
they are heard, and often spend DAYS
there waiting for the blowing of the
north wind. The Ojbways have num-

Very little has yet been said or writ
ten about the latest and most audacious
act of vandalism which long suffering
world has been called to endure. This
is nothing less atrocious that the intro
duetion Of steamboats, on the Grand
canal CT Venice. The triumphs of prac-
teal tae have left few spots invested
with the peculiar beauty and fascination
which belonged to the world when it
was younger, and one of these few spots
is, Or assuredly was, Venice. The pres
ence of the steamboats, tends to the
rapid extinction OF the gondolas, and
when the gondolas have disappeared
from the canals Of Venice very little Of
the poetryof motion will be left on earth

A Petriled Cody.

About thirty years since q steamboat
was sunk in one of the Alabama rivers,
and q nu mber of her passengers were
lost. On board were several persons,
residents Of Kershaw county, South
Caroline two Of them belonging to Cam
den, lady and gentleman, whose bodies
were recov cred and forwarded here.
That of the lady was inferred in the
family burial ground, inst outside Of the
town. Two other bodies had been bur-
led there, one Of them ninety years ago.
Not long since the graves were opened
in order to RENTER the bodies In the
cemetery. On reaching the investments
of the lady's body, which had been in
closed in burial ease, zinc and a box,
all were found partially DESTROYED: hrt
70 the utter surprise OF the worlSmen,
the body had not passed into corruption,
being nearly perfectly petrified and as
hair on the head was preserved part
attached to the head and portion be-
side it. The body was SO heavy as to
require five or six men to remove it, and,
IN doing 80, the head was broken off.
The slippers on the feet when first seen
appeared perfect, but. in moment,
crnmbled, while few Of the patterns 81
the dress. were apparently unchanged.
On opening the other graves in the
same locality there was nothing but a
dark line Of earth found Of one, and
few partially decayed Zones Of the other.

to defer this work until the Legislature

thus necessitating the work to be done over

More Light

If our worthy townsmdn, VIM. J. Brown,
Sr., were young enough to be re-christened,
we think that he would, BY common con-
sent. be named Petro Brown. He has been
testing the merits OF Petro for fifteen years,
and he believes in it with faith that is
sublime and unsuitable. And what Is
more, he has induced hundreds of others to
have an equally good opinion OF this burning
fluid He claims that it is PERFECTLY safe,
that it is non-explosive, and that its use is
public blessing aud household necessity.
We have used petro oil for many years, and
we have confidence in its safety. and al
though it may evaporate more rapidly than
some other oils, its lack of grease and its
lack of explosive qualities are its superior
advantages. There are scores of others be-
sides Mr.. Brown who would regret TO see
Petro legiylated out OF the market So far
as we know, there has not been a single ex-
plosion scored against Petro-eertainly not
hereabouts, where it is very generally used,
