Germany on Russ ia and England.

LONDON, Feb 10.
The German press says the submission of
the tribes of Nero to Russia is worse for
England than the disaster in the Soudan. 1t
comments upon the remarkable success of
the Russian policy in Central Asia, and says
it is always directed against England. If the
Russians should stand again before the walls
of Constantinople, the English would be dis
abled from commanding them to halt as they
did in 1878. Russia will become the imme-
diate neighbor of the British in India, and
will be able at any moment to create a dis
turbance in Northern India. Now only AZ
ghanistan is between Russia and India. The
frontier tribes are always ready to invade the
rich India provinces, if only their rear is
covered, and this Russia can now question.

A Russian Legend OF Sitka.


Visitors to Sitka are at once attracted
by the old castle on the hill, once the
home OF the Russian governor, who
ruled with almost despotic power, but
now. alas! converted into United
States signal station. Once DESTROYED
by fire and once FRUSTRATED by an earth
quake, it was each time rebuilt. Signs
of dilapidation are observable, but its
massive walls will probably stand for
generations. The desolation of its APP
pearance lends an added charm to the
legends which hang about it. One of
these traditions is to the effect that
Baron Romanoff, when occupying the
castle as governor, had in his house
hold a niece, an orphan whose guardian
heiwas, most beautiful young lady, as
all Evolutionary maidens are or should
be. She had bestowed her affections
upon young lieutenant, and when the
Baron commanded her to wed power
full prince, then stopping as guest at the
castle, she refused. The Rornanoff,
concealing his displeasure under a cloak
Of urbanity, gave the obstructing
lieutenant an honorable command and
dispatched him upon an expedition to
some distance. During the absence of
the lover the maiden yielded to
the threats and demands of her stern
uncle, and the wedding preparations
were hastily made. The timid and
heart broken girlsand the prince stood
up before the priest, who solemnized
the forced union, the marriage bells
rang out their mock peals of Joy, and
revelry held sway in the great hall OF
the castle. Suddenly the young
Lieutenant stood in the midst of the
gay throng, his garments trayel-stained
and torn, and his countenance haggard
with suffering. He paused before the
unhappy maiden, took her hand in his,
ring the Prince had placed upon her
finger. Without uttering a word, and
while the assembled guests were star
ing with amazement and curiosity, he
drew dagger from his belt and
plunged it into her breast. He rushed
from the castle and leaped into the
sea, to find rest in the bosom of the
waters. On the anniversary OF her
wedding night, the spirit OF the muir
dered girl can be seen passing through
the castle halls, dressed in her rich
bridal robes, tears streaming from her
eyes as she presses her hand over the
red wound in her breast. Often before
q severe tempest she may be seen on
the tower of the abandoned light
house, burning light till dawn to
guide the spirit of her lover on the
stormy sea. Portland (Tre.) West

The Righi Railway.

The Right Railway, on the Lake Of
Lucerne, may be referred to as a mar
vel OF railway enterprise. 70 make a
line to the summit of a mountain five
thousand feet high could certainly have
been no ordinary undertaking. This
railway, which will be briefly described
was opened in the year 1871, the termi-
nus being at Yitznan, also the point of
landing for steamers. The railway
goes in an almost continuous and di-
rect line five miles long, not, as might
be imagined, by a zigzag route up the
mountain, the view OF the surrounding
country extending in interest as the
height increases, The route includes an
inclined tunnel two hundred and
twenty-five feet long, and girder
bridge across the Schnurtobel
Gorge. An extension of four miles
from Kalthad has been added to
the original line, proceeding along the
ridge OF the mountain, $3.50 feet above
the level of the sea. The line, which
is a single one with a fve-foot gauge,
consists OF three rails; the center one is
fitted with cogs. In other words, the
middle rail is a ladder up which the
engine climbs by means of cog wheels
fitted below the floor. The engine has
very remarkable appearance, re-
sembling very much a huge black bot
tie, and when on level ground it leans
on one side as if about to fall. When
ascending the incline the engine as
sumes an upright position. Only one
carriage is attached; this is ten feet
wide, and somewhat resembles our
tramWay cars. There are nine seats
placed transyersely, arranged to ac-
commodate fifty -four passengers.
j In ascending the carriage is propelled
instead OF being drawn, but in the de-
scent the locomotive precedes the car
rage, and acts as a powerful brake.
The train proceeds at a rate of about
eight miles an hour. Great care is nee
essary TO insure the road being kept in
order, hence one mile of the line is
under the superintendent of man
whose sole duty it is to precede the
train and remove DISTINCTIONS The
Right has been described as a mass of
pudding, with millions Of stones for
plams; the danger is lest any of these
stones should accidentally get into such
q position as to prevent the proper
working Of the cogAWheel on the engine.
A journey on this railway is Looked
upon BY many as quite an adventure.
Timid folks are advised to sit in the
middle OF a seat, so as to avoid the
sight OF the gulf and precipices over
which the line runs. HgchGnQs-

Right and Left.

=
M. Delaunay, of Paris, has made an
extended and careful investigation to
ascertain If in the majority Of cases the
right upper and lower extremity be
crossed over the left or the left over the
right, and which side most persons in
cline to when in a sitting posture. Ac-
scording to M. Delaunay, certain breeds
of dogs, terriers, Newfoundland and
,poodles cross the right foot over the
left. The Chinese and Japanese cross
the left over the right Europeans
cross the right over the left. Nj. De-
launay observed, in the s'creeches and
sale daisies, !" that infants under three
years Of age cross the left arm over the
right, older children crossing the right
over the left, sixty per cent doing SO at
six years Of age. Robust children
cross the right arm over the left; the
idiotic and weak, including those who
are incapable of working, cross the left
over the right. The Calmucks and
Arabs cross the right over the left, like
the Europeans. A great many women
cross the left leg over the right. Among
the opera-dancers, some cross the right
leg over the left, but not one the left
over the right; the majority cross the.
left over the right OF the right over the
left indifferently. Robust children cross
the right leg over the left earlier than
their weaker playmates. Persons who
cross the right leg over the left lean
toward the left when sitting; those who
placethe leftuppermost lean to theright.
Hence, consistently with what might
have been expected from what is OBJ
served in Children with regard to cross
ing legs, until six years of age children
lean toward the left. French school
masters, it would appear. try to pre-
vent their pupils from assuming this
position, believing hatscoliosis results;
hence they encourage or enforce the use
Of elbow-rests( accoudoirs), which oblige
the children to sit straight, a useless
measure according to M. Delaunay. as
the position they choose is in conformity
with the process of evolution. Tailors
affirm that the back of pair of trousers
AZ always more worn on the left side
than on the right Left-handed people
always sit toward the right. M. De
launaY concludes from these observa-
tons that the left brain develops pre-
viously to the right, and finally the right
predominates. British Medical Journal
