What Is q CreOles

Mr.. Cables long promised historical
sketches on Old New Orleans are begun
in the January Century with an illus
trated answer 20 the query, "Who are
the CreolesP' in part as follows:
Even in Louisiana the question would
be variously answered. The title did
not, here, first belong to the descendants
of Spanish, but of French settlers. But
such meaning implied certain ex-
cellence OF origin, and so came early to
include any native, of French or Spanish
descent by either parent, whose nom
alliance with the slave race entitled him
10 social rank. Later, the term was
adopted by-not conceded to-the
natives of mixed blood, and is still so
used among themselves. At length the
spirit of commerce saw the mouey-value
of so honored title, and broadened its
meaning to take in any creature or
thing OF variety of manufacture peculiar
to Louisiana that might become an OBJ
ject of sale: as Creole ponies, chickens.
cows. shoes, eggs, wagons, baskets,
cabbages, negroes, etc. Yet the Creoles
proper will not share their distinction
with the worthy "Acadian. He is q
Creole only by courtesy, and in the
second person singular. Besides French
and Spanish, there are even. for con-
venience of speech, "colored" Creoles;
but there are no Italian, or Sicilian, nor
any English, Scotch, Irish. or Yankee"
Creoles, unless of parentage married
into, and themselves thoroughly
proselyted in. Creole society, Neither
Spanish nor American domination has
taken from the Creoles their French
vernacular. This, also, Is part of
their title; and. in fine, there seems TO
be no more serviceable definition of the
Creoles of Louisiana than this: that they
arc the French-speakipg, native, ruling
class.
There is no need to distinguish be-
tween the higher and humber grades
of those from whom they spralg. A
few settlers, only, were persons of rank
and station. Many were the children
of the casket-girls, and many were of
such stock as society pronounccs less
than nothing; yet, in view Of that state
of society which the French revolution
later overturned, any present oyerplus
of honor may as well fall to the children
of those who filed them during that
bloody convulsiou.

A PLUCKY SwIMMEREss.-Wo learn
from correspondent that, short time
ago, Mrs. G.. a. ID. Macarthur Campbell,
formerly resident of Coonamble, dis
tinguished herself by a deed of admir-
able bravery. Mrs. Campbell was a
passenger in a steamer from Hong Kong
to one of the northern ports of Queens
land, and one day little boy about four
years of age, to whom the lady was very
much attached, fell overheard, the acct
dent occurring through a sudden lurcb
of the vessel. With the exception OF
Mrs. Campbell and the man at the wheel,
all the passengers and crew were at din
ner. Without waiting for a life buoy or
divesting herself of any clothing, and
simply saying to the man at the wheel,
Don't tell the child's mother Mrs.
Campbell plunged into the water, swan
to the boy, and held him up till both
were rescued, the steamer having been
promptly stopped and boat lowered.
Neither the lady nor the boy was much
the worse for the immersion. - Sidney

ARAGo's LITTLE JoKE.--A story of E.
Arago, the French scientist: One day at
the Academy of sciences they had long
and rather tiresome session. Arago
thought he would go out and take the
air. At the foot of the stairway there
was leather bowl upon which the rays
of the sun were holly beating. Arago
turned the bowl around, and rushing
up stairs told the distinguished assem-
blage that he had just met with some
thing which was very mysterious. THAT
leather bowl" he said, lat the foot OF
the stairway is cool upon the side which
presents itself to the sun. but warm up
on the other side" The scientists de-
scended in a body and substantiated this
assertion. They took the inclination of
the sun, the hour, the minute, the sec
onds and a vast array of other details.
They made calculations, and several
weeks afterward each of them presented
a paper explaining the phenomenon,
Arago himself taking care to send in his
explanation with the rest. There is no
knowing how far the discussion might
have gone had it no, been for the con-
cierge; who, having seen Arago turn the
bowl, and pitying the worthy gentlemen
who were so much worried, cleared
away the mystery.

SOMEBODY.

Somebody thinks the world all wrong,
And never has word In its praise;
Somebody sings the whole day long,
Likes the world and all its ways,
Somebody says it's queer old place,
Where none Of the peopl do as they should
Then, somebody thinks IL full grace,
And wouldn't change the folks II he could.
Somebody calls II cruel and cold,
Full of sin, and sorrow, and pain,
Where life is but search fcrgold,
And souls are lost In selfish gain,
Somebody meirily laughs-and cries,
"Hurrah for such dear old earth,
Success shall crown the man who tries
To make his mark by honest worth"
Somebody groans and shakes his head.
Calls his lot a wretched one;
Somebody wishes that he were dead,
Cause somebody else has all the fun
But still, fancy, you're sure to find,
Tho good or evp, or pain or care,
One certain fact-so make up your mind,
That-somebody always gets his share.

PhOs phorescent Beetles.

Harper's Magazine.
The beetles (elater) are the most
Respondent forms of the South. Over
seventy distinct species of them are
known from Chilli to the southern states
of North America, They have two vel
low phosphorescent spots upon the back,
and two others hidden under the wing
eases, which are only visible when the
insect flies. We have frequently read
by their light allowing the insect to
cling to the finger, and passing it along
the page, a spot two inches in diameter
would be rendered luminous by the dor
sal light The sight produced by these
tropical fire-hies is often extremely mag
nificent, and has been aptly described
by Southey
''Sorrowing we beheld

play
More wonders than 4. yelled In numerous

Their beauties visible; one while they
streamed
bright blue radiance upon flowers which
closed
Their gorgeous colors from the eye of day
Now, motoness and dark, eluded search,
Self-shrouded and anon, starring the sky.
Rose like shower Of fire"
Now red glare dashes by, followed
by an intermittent blaze of orange-yel-
low, while in the foliage all about the
brilliant green light Of the photuris
appears. dying away n mimic revolving
light. AT times these attract others OF
golden hues, and a bevy of flashing in
candescent bodies circle about each
other for moment, and then dart away
like flaming meteors 10 illumine the
gloom beyond. One, the pyrophorus,
emits, when At liberty, rich rudy
glow. and again yellowish orange, but
in captivity II seems diffused with a pale
green glow. These are the insects the
early Spanish invaders took for the lights
of an immense army as they advanced
upon the ancient capital of Mexico.
AT this time they were used by the
natives at night, numbers of them being
tied TO the feet. Southey refers 10 this
in the poem already quoted. When
Coatel was guiding Madoc through the
cavern,
'She beckoned, and descended, and drew out
From underneath her vest a cage, or net
II rather might be called, so fine the twigs
Which knitit, where. confined. two hre-ies
gave
Their lustre"
In parts of the South TO this day they
are in common use as n decoration by
the ladies; and among the peasantry OF
Italy and Greece gala toilet would not
seem complete without diadem of
flashing tire-Aies that CLEANS and scin-
tillates like a veritable halo about their
heads. As evening falls these maids of
the sun follow the cleaning insects,
and bedeck one another with living
gems that only Nature can produce.
Upon one occasion Don Domingo Condo,
Of Columbia, appeared upon the

THE OLD YEARS REVIEW.

Trembling without, the old year stood,
Plying the sinful, blessing the good;
In iairy dream land awoke,
And thus to me the old year spoke;
die at twelve O'Clock tonight.
The hour draws nigh, so i1eor Alright;
One year ago Time gave me Birth,
And millions welcomed me to earth;
Loud rang the silvery-tOned steeple bell,
The Birth of new year to tell;
seated on Times majestic throne unseen,
Near twelve months have reigned supreme
While mirth, friendship, love and pleasure,
With malice, envy, hate, by stealth,
Have passed a-down the stream oil time to-
gether,
In poyerty's scant garb and flowing robes Of
wealth,
Pve seen the mother bowed In grief,
The father from atfliction seek relief;
Wives shed the sorrowcd tears OF pain,
Lovers In JOY make up again;
Husbands and brothers TALL by the way.
Sisters and daughters 90 astray.
I've seen the murderer strike the blow
That caused HIS victims life TO flow.
The penalty I've seen him pay,
On scaffold HIGH in open day,
Crime of all phases have met,
'Mong high and low, with deep regret;
Have seen the DID, the young and fair,
Drawn deep within Temptations lair
Soon will the harvest by the year be gathered
in,
Bound up In sheaves of purity or sin.
On Gods broad page of memory has been
traced
The evry thought and action of the living race;
The pure In heart the Kingdom shall inherit,
The wicked get the punishment they merit,
As God has spoken 1t, who dare dispute
His righteous purpose, or his word refute.
