A CURIOUS LEGEND.

This curious Hessian legend is re-
corded by the Brothers Grimm: \
man kills his brother while they are out
hunting, and buries the corpse under
the arch of bridge. Years pass. One
day, a shepherd, CLOSING the bridge
with his flock, sees below little white
bone, shining like ivory. He goes down,
picks it up, and carves it into mouth
piece for his bagpipes. When he began
to play, the mouth-piece, to his horror,
began to sing of its own accord:
"On, my dear shepherd! yoo are
playing OH one of nv bones ; by brother
assassinated me and buried me under the
BRIDGE"
The shepherd, terrified, took his bag
pipes to the King, who put the mouth.
piece to his lips, when straightway the
refrain began
ooh, my dear King! you are playing
on one of my bones my brother assassl'
mated me and buried me under the
BRIDGE"
The King ordered all his subjests to tt,
in turn the bagpipes. From mouth to
mouth the instrument passed to that Of
the fratricide, and then it sang:
"Oh, my dear brother you are p ay'
ing OH one Of my bones it was you who
asssssinated me s~,. -. ..*,~.,

Like ths, land Of The sea, the stars OF
5LLeas.s,;as have evsr been used dis effective
symbols 81 num SCI, and the improve
ments in the method Of our observation
have adled fresh force to our original
Impressions. We now know that our
earth is but q fraction Of one ont Of at
least rs, 600, 600 worlds. But this IS not
all. In addition to the luminous hear

are countless others, invisible to us

Again, may refer to the curious phe
nomena presented by Algol, a bright
star in the head of Medusa. This star
shines without change for two days and
thirteen hours then, in three hours and
half, .dwindles from star Of the
second to one Of the fourth magnitude !;
aud then, in another three and a half
hours, reassumes it's original brilliancy.
These changes seem certainly to ind /.
cate the presence of an opaque body,
which intercepts at regular intervals a
part Of the light emitted by Agol.
Thus the floor of heaven is not only
"thick inlaid with patines of bright
gold," but studded also with extinct
stars once, probably, as brilliant as our
own sun, but now dead and cold, as
del1nholtz tells us that our own sun will
be, some II, 900, 900 years hence.

On the matter Of lawyers brutality,

past John X. Mclean, the youthful pub

ley examined him with what the witness
thought undue advantage and severity.
"You old scamp" said Mclean in whis-
per at the courtroom door, 81 will be at
your Office as soon as you get there" Ar
rived at Hoadley's office, Mclean closed the
door coolly, and began: - You had ME in q

bate and coward" Here Edgar John
son. generally called egg" because he is
under Hoadley's yolk, being his partner,
intefposed. Edgar" said Mclean, "if
hear anything from you will hoist that
window and drop you down the area"
Then turning TO Hoadley, he gave what the
lawyers learnedly call the exordium. The
first sentence took Hoadley's sef-respect
In the front and flank, the second made
him dance, at the third he said he wouldn't
stand it. "Won't your" said Mclean;
"what are you going to do about IL? /

Variable Whitley Death.


A valley surprising in reality OF horrors
the tabled region OF the upas-tree has been
discovered in the Island OF Java. This
island is volcanic, and in one spot the ema-
nations from the interior Of the earth are
so deadly that the place is called the Valley
OF Death. As the traveller approaches il
he is attacked with nausea and giddinesS.
He also notices a suflocating smell. As he
advances these symptoms disappear. so that
after passing through the belt Of fetid air
which guards the valley the visitor is able
TO examine with less risk the spec
tacle before him. A recent traveller de-
scribes the valley as being an oval about
one mile in circumference and about thirty
to forty feet below the level OF the sur
rounding land. The floor OF the valley is
flat, dry, without any vegetation. and seat
tered all over it are the skeletons OF men.
tigers, wild boars. birds, and stays lying
among large blocks OF stone. No stream
or smoke Is TO be seen, nor any crevice APP
parent in the earth, WHICH appears to be rs
hard rs rock. The hills which hem i'm
this valley OF desOation are clothed from
base to summit with healthy trees and
bushes. The traveller whom we have
quoted descended the side of one
hill, with the aid of bamboo
stick, TO about eighteen feet from the bot
tom, and he compelled dog to go down
TO the plain. In five seconds the animal
fell on its side motionless, although il con-
tinued TO breathe for eighteen minutes.
Another dog died in ten minutes; a fowl
only resisted the deadly air for a minute
and half, and was dead before he reached
the bottom. 1t is believed that the human
skeletons are those Of malefactors who have
sought refuge here, ignorant Of the fatal
influence OF the air they came to breathe.
The neighboring mountains are volcanic,
but they neither emit sulphurous odors
nor do they present any indication of re-
cent eruption.
