1t seems that there survive in sr
obscure little village in Thuringia two
male descendants of Martin Lather
whose lineage is undoubted and who
bear his name. One is q carpenter in
kloster- Allendorf, and the other is q
theological student at the University
of jena. In the lapse Of centuries II
would be difficult to define the exact
relationship to the Reformer, but the
line is traced direct. This branch OF
the Luther family enjoy, in considera-
tion OF the services of their ancestor, q
right that each man shall on his con-
firmation receive so thalers, on his
apprenticeship to any trade or calling
second so thalers, and on his mar
riage third sum of like amouns. One
hundred and fifty thalers are about

Dancing is very popular in Italy,
but it is conducted differently to what
it is in this country. The first the
men and women do is to take their
shoes and stockings off, if they happen
to have any on. A man does not 90
up to . girl and ask if she will dance,
but he fixes his eye upon her from .
distance and mods. She mods IN return,
and then both kick off their shoes and
advance toward each other and begin
to dance. The dance, besides being
an incessant up-snd-down of steps, re-
presents also quito q love drama m
gestures, and the success of the dance
depends on the oleverness Of the dsnc-
ers to express the mimic scene. The
man courts, pleads, beseeches, runs af-
ter his dancer, tries to clasp her waist
and kiss her all the time he is dancing,
without even pausing. The girl, Of
course, denies, laughs, shakes her head
and escapes her partner, until at last,
the dance finished, she rushes to her
place and resumes her shoes.-Cleav-
land Herald.
The boat Maria came into port yes
terday with heave cargo of fish and q
story almost incredible. The captain,
whose name could not be learned,
states that on passing along beyond
the bar on the outward cruise last Mon
day, while several of his men we're
asleep and be was at the tiller, he felt
his craft in contact with something rub
bing along ber bottom, and was sur
prised to find it suddenly lifted, with .
great shock, fully 10 feet above the
surface of the water. The boat fell
again into the sea perfectly upright,
and .he sail having lost none of the
stiff breeze that filed it, she continued
her course as if no such extraordinary
thing had happened. The men below
were rudely awakened, and turned out
to ascertain the course OF the phenome-
non, when all hands were surprised to
see passing away at one side monstr-
Gus whale. The leviathan had exhaus-
ted his supply OF air, and in coming to
the surface for more had struck the
boat, with the effect mentioned. The
huge being spouted an immense stream
of water, and, having spoTted about
for short time, sank again into the
ocean. Aside from q severe wrench
the craft sustained no injury, and the
men suffered nothing but momentary
allrm.-Sau Francisco Examiner.
