The I.onrstone, A CornIsh legend.

Tie LonEstOnei n Cornish Legend.
In the parish of st. Mubyn, in East Corn
WALL England, and on the high road from
Bojmin 60 Cticlrord is group of houses
lone of them yet u smiths shop known by
the name of LougstOne. The curious traveller
passing by inquiries tho raisou dctrc of such
name Tor there is no tall monoith, such as
are not uncommon in Cornwall to be scun
near it. Tho reason is thus given in Notes
dud Queries:
In lack of records may say ain the days
of King Arthur there lived in Cornwall u
smith, This smith was keen fellow, who
made and mended the plows and harrows
shOd tho horses of his ncighboTs ana was
generally servicoablc. lie had also great skill
in iarricry and in the general management
aud cure of sick cattle. lie could also tx.
tract the stubborncst tooth, oven If the Jaw
resisted and some gyrations around the anvil
were required.
There seems ever to have been i'll blood be-
tween devil and smith. testc Dunstan and
others, and so it was between the tiend and
the smith -iarrier-dentist OF ST. Mabyn. At
night there were many and fierce disputes
between them in the smithy. Tho smith, as
the rustcs tell always got the advantage of
his adversary, and gave him better than he
brought. This success, however, only
fretted old Nick and spurred him on to fur
ther encounter. What the exact matter of
controversy on this particular occasion was
is not remembered, but it was agreed to settle
it by some wager, some trial of strength and
skill. A two acre field was near, and the
smith challenged the devil to the reaping of
each his acre in the shortest time. The match
came oil, and the devil was beaten, for tho
smith had beforehand stealthily stuck here
and there over his opponents acre some har-
row tines or teeth
The two started we'll, but soon tho strong
swing Of the iiends S the was being brought
up frequently by some obstruction, aud as
frequently required the milestone. The dcx-
ferrous and agile smith went on smoothly
with his acre. and was soon Enthusiastically
gaining. The devil, enraged at his certain
discontinue, hurled his milestone mt his
rival and flew oil. The whctstono,
thrown with great violence after
sundry whirls in the air, fell upright
into the soil to great depth, and there re-
manned u witness against the evil one for
ages. The devil avoided the neighborhood
while it stood. In an evil hour the farmer ut
Treblethiclt near set his heart upon the Long
stone for there were gate posts aud door
posts TO be had out of ii, and he threw ii
down. That night the enemy returned, and
has haunted the noigllborhood ever since.

already opened, and Mr. J. NJ. Beck, the largest
dealer in the state, and probably In the
country, has engaged nearly ono hundred men
in tho several New Eugland states TO catch
for him the coming season, aud he estimates
that The demand this summer will be double
that Of the last year. Many hotels that for
merly had frogs only during tho summer arc
now making contracts for them tho year
round.
An attempt was made Inst summer to send
live frogs 30 England and the first attempt
was watched with considerable interest, as it
was doubtful If the attumpt would result sue
ccssfuly. The frogs were properly selected,
'pd special attention was given to their care
S"d feeding during the long sea voyage. Tho
fir lot of animals sent arrived in England in
thclN Of condition, having stood the voyage
rcmurKmiy we'll, and the mortality was very
slight. During the summer several other
attempts were made, aud the results Of
all were perfectly successful. These
lots were designed for hospitals
and were sent on special orders for surgical
experiments. Some were dressed and eaten,
and demand in a small way was imme-
diatcly started. The green frog, or, as he is
generally known, the bull frog. is not ma
tive of England, aud it is now desired to in
troducc and propagate him in sufficient num-
bers, so that they can be used for food. To
this end u novel attempt will be madc next
month to send to England the spawn of the
bull frog TO stock pond and rear the frogs in
English waters.

From the New York Times.l
MONTGOMERY, ALA, May II.
The Grand Jury of the United States
Circuit Court, now in session, returned to-
day Ave indictments against Mr.. Strobach,
the lately appointed United States Marshal,
for the alleged ofsnss of having presented
false accounts IS Deputy Marshal in the
months of January and February, 1880.
1orf y Hra !ns resG Tsmeron o1 and
corps of agents of the Department of JUS
tice, including stenographer. The &C.
counts presented by Mr.. Strobach as q Dep
uty Marshal amount to 1856. so and ont OF
these accounts only a few Of the items are
claimed to be fraudulent, the sum total not
exceeding $50. Yet the Department Of
Justice has already spent So, 600 in the in
vsstigation and the cost to the Government
will exceed double that sum before the
trials OF the cases are concluded.
Among other items of expense will be
that of q fee for special counsel, Judge
Rice, employed by Brewster Cameron.
Among other qualifications possessed by
Mr.. Rice, is the fact that he is one of Mr..
Strobach's most malignant enemies and
hates him only less than he does the Presi-
dent and his administration.
The extraordinary zeal displayed by Ar.
Comeron in this prosecution is accounted
for by tho fact that he was originally op-
posed to Mr.. Strobach's appointment AZ
Marshal, and set this investigation on foot
At the time the question of Mr.. Strobach's
appointment was pending before the Pres
ident, for the purpose Of preventing the
appointmenl. Having been defeated in
that attempt he has pushed the matter to an
indictment in the court in the hope of get
ting rid of Mr.. Strobach in that way.
Cameron's candidate il Mr.. Wickersham,
formerly postmaster at Mobile, a noted
half~breed leader, who publicly denounced
Arthur as equally responsible with Guiteau
for the murder of Garfield.
The associates of Camerons and his aids
have been from this class entirely, and
they, in common with the Democrats, are
in high gles at Strobachs disgrace.
Mr.. Stroback has demanded an imme-
diate trial on the indictments, there being
no merit whatever in the alleged frauds.
Cameron knows this, and knows also that
the matters, even if true, are barred BY the
Statute of Limitations, but having taken
the contract to dispose of Strobach, he de.
termined to do 30 at all hazards. When the
case is tried there will be music in the Air.
