Variations of Climate.

DR.. Croll attl ibutes the great fuctua-

260, 900, and 160, 1000 years. I am una
bio either to confirm or refute these
calculations which may or may not be
correct, but quite outside. or rather
within, these there have been curious
fluctuations of terrestrial climate hith-
erto unexplained. The name "Gron-
.and," which we literally translate
"Greenland. is itself q record of this.
1t was given to that country when colo

thousand years ago. It was then fairly
described by its name. and the re-
mains of human settlements discovered
by our arctic explorers in regions now
uninhabitable confirm the old Morse
sagas, which describe these colonies.
When Ingolf, with his retainers and
followers, settled in Iceland, A. d. 874,

Worth. They came with clanking spurs
and fierce beartls two revolvers to each
man and a large bowie knife for lag
niappe, and they sat down to table and
called for whiskey all around. A tremor
ran through the assembly. Fort Worth's
best citizens were for moment staggered.
But Dusenbery never qualled The strang-

they launched forth IN furious abuse of

they ceased Dusenbery marched up to the

feet of towering form reduced the specta-

into his trowsers and bringing up an ancient
silver watch, ''you have wounded tho

marks about Texas, and you must rctract
them or-but never mind. | give YOU
five minutes to retract. Five minutes to

awful silence fell upon the crowd. The

Fort Worthian present. What | had they

just then one Of tho strangers recovered

"Why, stranger, If you feel that way

didn't mean 1t for you or any of your
friends, but was just talking on loose

and skunk out, their Blk shooters Hopping
fecbly against their hips and their very
spurs looking dropped and wccdy as they
went. With the closing of tho door,

excitement which had thus far held him

citizens crowded around him.

Justiee In Morocco.

The Court Of Justice was sitting, and
had frequent opportunities of observ-
ing 1t atterward. The procedure, to
any one fresh from the Old Bailey, ap-
pears little strange. The Bashaw re-
clines on O, comfortable couch listening
TO the witnesses. who give their evil
dence with great energy and volubjlity.
Sometimes In the middle Of it all the
prisoner will jump up and exolaim that
he can get u witness on his behalf. He
will then run out of court, unattended
by guard or policeman. and presently
return with his man. No one expresses
any surprise at this performance, and
It never seems to enter their head that
he should avail himself of the oppor-
tunity to escape. The usual punish
ments, besides fine and imprisonment,
mutilation, by cutting off o hand or
toot-the stump beng plunged in boil
ing pitch to stop the bleeding-basti-
nadoing, and putting tout the eyes.
There used to be blind beggar con-
stantly demanding 6acksheesh at one
OF the gates, who had been noted
robber in his day. but falling at last
into the hands Of his pursuers had suf-
fered this horrible penalty. There
were at least two murders during my
stay at Tangier-both perpetrated in
the most open manner, though in
neither case was any adequate penalty
Gf any penalty at ally inflicted. The
first was from motives of jealousy, and
the murderer stabbed his victim in the
middle of the town-tne body lying out
in the street till a guide from the hotel
stumbled over 1t on his way home at
night. The second was committed by
Ritlian, to wipe out a blood .feud that
existed in his family. A relation of his
had been killed by man, and from
that time the solemn duty developed
upon him OF avenging his death. The
act may have been committed genera
tion back; but in that case the mother
would daily charge the child upon her
knee with the task he had to perform
and when he was grown up, never let
hln rest till vengeance was exacted.
Tie man has little hopes of escape.
No Iish agent or Landlord under the
bane Of Captain Moonlight" could be
so certain of his doom; and in Barbary
he cannot even avail himself of the
doubtful protection of the Police. In
this case the murderer coolly shot his
victim dead as he was sitting in the
soko, and then brandishing his knife at
all who attempted to arrest him, got
clear OFF into the country. A friend of
mine once heard the Bashaw infict a

heavier one, but that it was necessary
