The Lost Rivers Of Idaho.

One OF the most singular features in
the scenery OF the territory of Idaho is
the occurrence Of dark, rocky chasms,
into winch creeks and largo streams
suddenly disappear and are never moro
seen. The assures are old lava chan
nols produced by the outside of the
mass cooling and forming Il tube,
which, when the fiery stream was oX-
haustod, has been left empty, whilst
the roof Of the lava duet, having at
some point fallen in, presents there the
opening into which the river plunges
and is lost, At one place along the
banks Of the Snake, one Of these rivers
appear gushing from u cleft high up
in the basollic walls, where it leaps a
cataract into the torrent below. Where
this stream has its origin, or at what
point it is swallowed up is absolutely
unknown, ahourh it is believed that its
sources are n long way mp in the north
country. Besides becoming the chan
nels Of living streams, the lava con-
duits are frequently found impacted
with the Ice masses which never entire
ly melt,

HOrSeshOcs for Luck.

The principal gateway at Alahabad
IS thickly studded with horseshoes of
every size and make. There are hun
dreds of them nailed all over the great
gates, doubtless the Offering of many a
wayfarcr who has long since finished
his earthly pilgrimage. We could not
lind out what was the exact idea con-
nected with this custom-probably the
same notion of luck as we attach to
finding q horseshoe, especially one with
the old nails still in their place. We
afterward noticed that the sacred gates
of SOmnath, preserved in the fort at
Agra, are similarly adorned 1t re-
minds us of that curious old manorial
rite still kept up at Oakham, in Rut-
landshire, where every peer of the
realm is bound the first time he enters
the town to present horseshoe to be
nailed on tho old portal, which is we'll
nigh covered with these lordly tributes.
1t is said that in case any contuma-
cious peer should refuse to pay this tax
the authorities have right to stop his
carriage and levy their blackmail by
unshocing one of his horses. To avert
so serious an annoyance the tribute
shoe is generally ready, some being of
| enormous size and inscribed with tho
name of the donor Whether these
Eastern horseshoes were taxes or offer
ings cannot tell, but it is certainly
very curious to observe how widespread
is the superstitious reverence attached
to this particular form. 1t has been
suggested, and apparently for some
reason, that in ancient pagan times
it may have been recognized symbol
in serpent worship, and hence may
| have arisen its common use as q charm
against all manner of evil. The re-
semblance is obvious, moro especially
to that species of harmless snake which
is rounded at both ends, so that head
and tail are apparently just alike. The
creature moves backward or forward
at pleasure; hence the old belief that
it actually had two heads and was in
destructible, as even when cut into two
parts it was supposed that the divided
hands would seek one another and re-
unite. 1t stands TO reason that in o
snake-worshiping community such
creature would be held in high rever-
ence. Even in Scotland various an
Gent snake-like bracelets and orna-
ments have been found which seem to
favor this theory, and at q very early
period both snakes and horseshoes
seem to have been engraved as symbols
on sacred stones. We hear of the lat
ter having been sculptured, not only
on the threshold of old London houses,
but even on that of ancient churches
in various parts of Britain. And in
the present day we all know the
Idea of luck connected with finding
one, and how constantly they are nail
ed up against houses, stables, and
ships as charm against witchcraft.
In Scotland, all parts OF England, and
Wales, and especially in Cornwall
(where not only on vans and omnibus
es, but sometimes even on tho grim
gates of the old jails), we may find
this curious trace of ancient superst-
ton. Whatever may have been its ORR
gin, 1t certainly is remarkable that it
should survive both in Britain and
Hindostan. The Genticman'S Moqa-
zine,
