4 Chamber Of HORRORS.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.

+ rom tue brooklyn EaXle.l
Dickens used to tell his young contributors
to Once Week aud All the Year Around
that if they wanted to write something origi-
nal they should go and be locked up over
night in Nine. Tussaud's chamber of hor-
rors, in which were displayed the heads of
all the celebrated murderers OF Great Britain,
and the knives and pistols and bludgeons
and poison-bottles with which they had
wrought their baleful work. None Of them
were courageous, enough t. try this, though
it seems as II it might have been made the
basis of an entirely unique magazine paper,
that is If the writer had been able TO preserve
his reason through the ordeal Juliet's fore
glimpse of the horrors which would meet her
awakening in the Veronese tomb Of her an
cessOrs was quite tame in comparison with
those which would have cor fronted him dur
ing his long night vigil. l rememb Der 10 have
been shown through the appalling cham Der
by VI. Tussaud himself.who expatiated bland
~ upon the celebrity OF the various murder
ers, and certified to the surprising accuracy
with which their lineaments were reproduced.
Il is possible that they might under certain
circumstances inspire literary frnitfuluess-
kindle artistieally available visions in the
imagination, but they would be more likely
TO iucite homicidal mania: so that when
morning brought release the maddened
scribe would rush forth and slay the harm
less, necessary doorkeeper, qualifying him
self for a niche in that evil Valhalla. the
images whereof had upset his reason.

a Real Lfre Dragon.
ILondon Erening Ners-l

II st. George were TO revisit the earth he
would find his only enemy ready to try issues
with him in the far north. The Swedish his
torian, DR.. Hytten Cavallias, solemnly as
sures the world, through a paper which he
has read before the Stockholm Academy of
Sciences, that be is convinced that the old
draken or lindorn, our dragon OF legend, is
not yet extinct. He bases his fantastic be-
lief upon the testimony of twenty reports in
which reputable peasant farmers of the prov
iOce OF Smaland give eTidenc that they have
seen the monster with their own ewes, and
in some cases have come near to an actual
fight with him. On = comparison of their
testimony il appears that the modern dragon
Is from eighteen to twenty feet in length ::
its body is about the thickness Of a stout
mans, its belly yellow; it lives in rocky
clefts and always in the neIghborhood Of
water, so that it is probably amphibious.
