The Virgins Kiss.


In the old town proper of Baden
Baden there are some very ancient
relics. The SchlOss is still called
the New Castle, although it was
built back yOnder in the year ll70.
The most curious things about this
wonderful chateau are the vast
aud gloomy subterranean apart
ments which underlie it. and about
which many mysterious and bloody
legends are related. They of course
include a chamber of torture, in
the floor of which n trap.door
opens on the Virgins Kiss. The
poor chap who had been con-
dcmned to death was brought
here to he told that he was free;
then he was led close to the statue
of the Virgin Mary that stood in
the room and asked to return
thanks to her for his release aud to
kiss her on the lips. His doing SO
touched II spring that opened the
trap under his feet. and the unfor-
tmate man dropped down 30 feet,
to fall into the Outstrctched arms
of a female statue, which was as
thickly covered with sharp spikes
and ra2or-like blades as there are
quilts on porcupine.-Sm Fran

the use of the Bitters, which is likewise
standard remedy and preventive of

PASSER DOMESTICUS.

As spring comes along and the genia
sun warns all nature and the cool anC
breezy night wears away the cares of the
day, there comes also the sparrow, and il
the streets he is as bustling and busy as
the fly during the afternoon siesta in
August.
Spring seems to give him renewed
V-gor, if for moment he has ever lost If.
He is ever in the trees ever on the caves ;
he is ever in the street, but he is never in
good graces.
From his throat a constant and grating
sound issues forth in manner Jerking
and haggling like the bargaining of
fishwoman. And why should it not be
thus? He comes from the shopkeepers'
country and the haunts of the shopman
are his favori9 resorts.
He never sings, for he feeds upon the
foul things of the earth, and knows not the
paths of the woodlands. The fields
with daisies pied and violets blue" he
has never seen. OF the lark of the sky
and the poets praise he has never heard.
He is the bird of civilization; he knows
not of nature and her ways, nor did his
ancestors.
~ ~ He came to the Territory a guest un-
der legislative protection. He found the
climate pleasant, the people kind and
courteous, and declared his intention to
become a citizen. His five years of resi-
dence are long since passed, and so well
has he adapted himself to his new sur
roundings that he is more at home than
the natives whom he found here, and
whom he has driven away. AS the white |
man drove the Indian from his hunting
grounds, and forced him toward the set
ting sun, from whence he will never re-
turn, so has the sparrow driven from our
gardens and our parks the sweet-songed
chippey; the beautiful and shy blue bird;

THE German Chancellor's latest argu-
ment for protection is that it will tend to
keep on their legs that most valuable
class OF society, the country gentlemen
who live on their estates. Prince Bis
marck is against the kind of territorial
magnates whose property is so vast that
they can afford to live away from it, "and
only demand money from their stewards
without representing their tenants in
Parliament, or otherwise concerning
themselves about their welfare. Therein
hes the misery of great estates, but pro-
prietors who live in the country are a
great blessing and very useful. If Eng
land, by retaining her present corn Iegis-
Iatlon, allows the landlords to be gradu-
ally ruined, do not believe that will be
advantageous to the future of England or
the prosperity of the rural population"
1t is poor argument.

the orioles; the bohemian chatte-er, and
the red robin with soft and mellow notes.
They are all gone, and there remains of
them only the memory, but it is the
memory of our youth, filed with sum
shine and bird songs before we knew
there were in the world harsh sounds of
wild discord.
The English sparrow was introduced
by wel-known gentleman of our city,
with the best of good wishes for the
public welfare. He was in advance
of the community in desiring to rid the
place of the pest of small insects with
which it was infested, and his act was
applaueed by all. His efforts have not
had the result hoped for, and the public
expected. They have not been a bless
ing in any sense, and are a pest and
nuisance everywhere about town. They
are fast spreading into the country They
are among the first to mate and they
bring forth large broods. There seems to
be no limit to the number of broods each
season, but on the contrary it seems as
though when there is nothing else to do
they hatch more fiedglings. 4
Many claim they perform the work they
were brought to do, and that we are
freer from insects than we should other
wise be. We gravely doubt the claim,
and cite as an authority against it the
writings Of DIR. Elliot Coues, U. S. A.,
author of Key to Northern Birds, and the
leading ornithOlogist of the United States
to-day, save perhaps Professor S. F.
Baird, of the Smithsonian Institution,
and Mr.. Robert Ridgway.
Steps should be taken to destroy
and extirpate them if possible. As we re-
member, there is city ordinance against
killing them, and if SO it should be
Immediately, that the work of
their destruction may go forward. Let

a PARIS correspondent writes that
"Nictor Hugo, in spite of his years, is
still hale and hearty; he eats and drinks
well, and his only infirmity is deafness.
Hugo himself will tell you that he is
stone-deaf; but his friends maintain that
he is only hard of hearing. On Thurs
days and Sundays, which are reception
days, the poet goes to bed about 10
O'Clock; on other days he retires at
half past 8, and in the morning he works
in bed, and rises about 10. He breakfasts
lightly, walks, and, in spite of the sup
plications of his family, he occasionally
INDUCES in his ole distraction of riding
on the knifeboard of bus. Whatever
the weather, Victor Hugo still obstinate
ly refuses to wear an Oyercoat, and, old
as he is, he persists in abundant cold
water ablutions; but he no longer takes
his tub as he used to do during the
seige of Paris, when he was staying with
his old friend, Paul Meurice, after his
s.a4Ils.,l f,v>,,s s,~y;I? e-.I ~--I,c-- =
lngs. His attendance at the Senate is
less regular than formerly, but whenever
te pere Cormon writes to him to say that
he must come to vote, he never fails, and
whenever there is an election at the
Academy he is always there. Victor
Hugo still works, but of course not very
much; he has his bolster and pillow
placed at the foot of the bed, so as to re-
ceive the light directly from the window,
and, pencil in hand, passes an hour or
two every morning in classifying and cor
recting his unpublished works in prose
and verse. He has in manuscript half a
dozen plays, several volumes of verse,
and two volumes of philosophy, which
will be published after his death. The
plays have never been produced on the
stage, because, since his exile, he has de-
cided never to expose himself to the Kisses
Of an enemy. His invariable answer on
this subject is: "J'ai assez bataille dams
ma vie. Aujourd'hui ma position nest
plus celle dun combattant.'
