A CURIOUS LEGEND.

This curious Hessian legend is re-
corded by the Brothers Grimm: A
man kills his brother while they are out
hunting, and buries the corpse under
the arch of a 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 1t up, and carves it into a mouth
piece for his bagpipes. When he began
to play, the mouth-piece, to his horror,
began to sing of its own accord:
"Oh, my dear shepherd you are
playing on one Of my 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
"Oh, my dear King you are playing
on one of my bones my brother assassi-
mated me and buried me under the
BRIDGE"
The King ordered all his subiests to try
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 pay
ing on one OF my bones it was you who
assassinated me
And the King ordered the murderer
to be executed.

Crooks Campaign Successful.

Gen. Crook has pushed his campaign
against the hostile apaches TO sue
cessh,l issue. He surprised them i'll
their strong hold, captured about 400
of the hostiles, secured large amount
of thunder and burned their village
without losing man of his command.
After the fight between Crook and the
hostiles everything in camp was
burned or carried off by the scouts.
Among the property captured were
100 ponies and mules, forty being
loaded with plumber, saddles, girdles,
clothes. watches and several thousand
dollars i'm gold and silver. After the
tirht the most of those who escaped
came in. Altogether, $50 prisoners
were taken. The chiefs captured were
ch,to, Bonito, Geronimo, Nachez,
Loco, and Mana. The reason why
Crook remains at Silver creek is that
he is awaiting news from the secretary
of war rs To what disposition he Is to
make of the Indians, as Wilcox, agent
at San Carlos, refused to receive them,
and that he will go back Ia the Sierra
MadreS after the rest of the hostiles if
they de not come in. In conversation
with Il courier he stated that the
ho>tiIrs had plenty of money. one
obi >uu:w who WAS the possessor OF
three $50 bills made inquiry of some
one at Col. Bi,itile's as 10 the value of
her possession. Upon being informed
that the notes were for $50 each, she

THE MARYLAND COLONY.

The men OF the Maryland settlement
also called themselves, like those OF
Plymouth, Pilgrims" but the name
had not come to them by such arduous
experience and it has not attached ITSELF
to their descendants. The Romln
Catholics and others who came So
"Mary's Land" in the Ark and tie
Dove, in March, 1854, under Leonard
Calvert, named their first settlement
st. Mary's, in honor of Queen Henrietta
Maria, and they called themselves "the
Pilgrims of st. Mary's." The emigra-
ton was made up very differently from
those which John Smith recorded in
Virginia, for it consisted of but tweu5y
gentlemen" and 800 laboring men.
They came under charter granted -
George Calvert, Lord Baltimore, VINO
had for many years been trying to eS-
tablish colony, which he called
avalon" much farther north, and who
had grown, in the words of a letter of
the period, "weary of his intolerable
plantation at Newfoundland, where lie
hath found between eight and nine
months winter, and upon the land
nothing but rocks, lakes, or mora saes
like boys, which one might thrust
pike down to the butt-head." But lie
died before the new charter was signel,
and was succeeded by his son Cecil,
second Lord Baltimore, who fully
adopted his fathers plans and fully
betrayed the cost of the first expedition,
this being 100000.
There exists a graphic account of the
voyage of the first Maryland settlers by
Father White, their chaplain, in his
report to his religious superiors at
Rome. He describes with delight his
first ascent of the Potomac river, of
which he says, "The Thames itself is
mere rivulet to it, - and when he reaches
the st. Mary's river, where the colony
was founded March 81, 1634, he says:
"The finger of God is in this, and He
purposes some great benefit to this ma
ton" He might well say that, for the
career of the early Maryland colony was
peaceful, tolerant and honorable. 1t
was the most nearly Independent and
self-governing of the early colonies, the
King asking nothing of it but two In
dian arrows each year, and one-ffth of
it's gold or silver. It was called "the
land of the sanctuary" all Christians
were tolerated there, though it did not,
like Rhode Island, expressly extend its
federation beyond Christianity. By de-
grees it passed under the charge of Pu-
ritans from Virginia, who proved them
selves less liberal to Roman Catholics
than the latter had been to them. But
all working together laid the founda-
ton of new community, sharing in
some respects the pursuits and desti-
MES of Virginia, but more peaceful,
and at times more prosperous.-T. ".

From experiments upon insects
Herr Hanscr, of Erlangen, has shown
iha! their sense of smell exists in the
a.t"rnae. His further studies have
convinced him that the external
organs ofsmell consist of series of
cones or cavities-tilled with serious
fiuid-which may be regarded as out
tnldings of the epidermis. TO these
are connected staff:cells, from which
nerves stretch through the antennae
to the brain. The organs are most
highly developed in insects which
seek food by smell. Bees and wasps
have the greatest number of smelling
cavities and cones, the honey-bee
having fourteen or fifteen thousand
cavities and about two hundred cones
in each antenna, and the leaf wasp a
eating flies have only five or six cavi-
ties to each feeler.

ure, 6Oxl00 feet, exclusive of engine

high. The heat was intense, setting
fire to the large new elevator, distant
about 100 feet. This was ado Totally

It was a roller mill, thoroughly equip
ped with all appliances for making
300 barrels of -four per day, its protuct
ranking with the best mills III the

barrels of flour. There was very little
wheat in the elevator. The value Of
the mill was estimated at $50 600, and
the elevator at SIS, 900. The insurance
was written in minneapolis, where the
principal office Of the mill is located.
The origin of the fire is attributed to
