ments Of the pcnitcnts. The scene
wildly impressed all those present.
A boy about II years of age, who
was among the Nczirs, attracted special
notice by his religious zeal; he was in
such a state of excitement that he
struck himself right and left with his
yataghan, and he would
certainly have inflicted very dang
crous wounds on himself
if he had not been held back by those
near to him and the yataghan taken
away from him. One of the distin-
guished strangers who witnessed these
weird performances for the first time
felt such shock at the scene that he
fell in swoon. At half-past nine
o'clock the ceremony came to close.
The Pcrsians call Nczirs those who
mortify their flesh during the Mahur-
rum mourning, which begins on the 1st
of the month and continues until the
10th. The word Nczir means conse-
Grated to God.

singular Discovery Of Dead Bodies.
At the end of last October, a Paris
correspondent says, a landslip occur
red at Chancelade, in consequence Of
which a quarry below fell in, burying
a number of workmen. For some
days afterward sounds were heard, and
smoke was seen issuing from the quar-
nv, which it was believed came from a
fire lighted by the men as signal,
Some time, however, elapsed before
any explorations were undertaken. Al
length passages to certain distance
were opened, but no vestage of human
remains could be found. Further in.
vestigations were subsequently made,
but with like result, and the oonclu.
sion arrived at was that the bodies
must have been crushed by the falling
rocks at greater distance inward than
could be reached.
Not satisfied with this conclusion,
however. several of the victims com.
rades resolved few days ago to at,
tempt to penetrate into q portion Of
the quarrics which they judged not to
have been sufficiently examined. The
result was that two bodies were found
together with the clothes of at least
five men Among them were these Of
a man who had gone into the quarry
after the disaster in search of his son,
The intricacics of the approaches seen
to have been such that this man wa.
unable to find his way back and con
duct the men through the passages by
which he had entered. The emaciatet
bodies found appear to have beer
gnawed by rats. What has become o.
the bodies Of the other men who's.
clothes are found is not known. Two
skeletons were found lying ut full length
with the faces turned toward the ground
The engineers are severely blamed b,
public opinion for not exercising great
or promptncss in their attempts K
reach the interior Of the quarry, ant
the magistrates have opened an inqnir,
on the subject. 1t is certain that all
was not excluded from the quarry, and
therefore, that the men died of starva

TuE NOON or the FALLING LEAF

Tie Moon or the Harvest has passed away,
The reaper has borne home his sheaf,
And clad In . robe Of the rainbow ray
Comes the Moon OF the Falling Leaf;
Sic comes like the spring with . smiling faee
Like the GUNNER with bounteous hand:
Too soon ehall this maiden Of peerless grace
Seek home In happier land.
Re oce in the light OF the mellow day,
Rejoice ere the hour OF grief,
When the Moon OF Snow Flake shall chase
away
The Moon OF the Falling Leaf.
Through the forest, that sheltered with cooling
From the heat Of the simmer ray,
Roam the sportiye bands Of the bright-eyed
maids
In the light Of the autumn day:
And the squirrel his pasImc still gAyly keeps,
Nor rhrinks from the Northern blast
A. he gathers together the nuts In heaps,
Well stored for his winter repast.
We hail the advent with joy, fair maid,
Bri chit Moon OF the Failing Leaf.
Though the wreath thou wearest too econ must
fade
ri the hour OF nature's grief:
Ike the sunset sky with its tints OF rose
Ere il wears the veil OF night.
Iii thy calm repuse sweet summer gows
Nth her last expiring light
.c5oice in the Light OF the mellow day,
Rejoice ere the hoar Of grief.

Mrs. LlncOln's Sister.

Boston Journal: Kentucky has been
quite fruitful in post-oflicc contests,
some of which have resulted disastrous
" to those who have been engaged in
them. 1t is soon to have another
which has some historical interest.
Those who are familiar with the War
will recall that there was at different
times much comment on the fact that
Mrs. Abraham Lincoln had a sister who
was the wife Of a prominent Confeder-
ate. That sister was Mrs. Helm, who
is now Postmistress of Elizabethtown,
KY, which is now in Larue County,
which has been cut off from the former
Hardin county, in which Abraham Lin
coin was born. The husband of Mrs.
Helm was the Confederate Gen. Ben
Hardin Helm. He was the grandson
of the noted Ben Hardin and the son Of
John Helm, Ex-Governor of Kentucky.
He was killed at the battle of Shiloh
while leading brigade. His widow
was appointed Postmistrcss at Eliza
BEETHOVEN by President Arthur at the
recommendation Of Gov. Knott, who
was supported by nearly all of the
leading men in Kentucky in both par
| ties.
The term of the office expires II
January, and some Of the active poll
ticians Of that town who think that thu
office has been held by her long enough
wish to succeed her. Mrs. Helm was il
Washington few days ago, and is II
vigorous health, quite capable of per
forming the duties Of the Office fo1
many years, which she has alrcad.
filled with satisfaction one term. 1t il
believed the President will follow tn,
example Of President Arthur and pcrmi
Mrs. Helm to retain this Office.

Thinking that the animal would be
profitable in the new country, some
spcculator introduced seven rabbits in
1860. Since that time they have i'm
creased 50 rapidly that between 1875 and
1884 55.OOO,OOO rabbits skins were cx-
ported, the supply Of 1884 being $780,
600 skins, the contribution Of the pre-
vious year having been about the same.
At first sight these figures seem to re-
present an enormous profit, but in
reality they represent a considerable
loss, the sum paid for killing the rab-
bits and dressing their skins for the
market far exceeding the money for
| which they are sold. Could they be let
alone the landowners would be only
too glad, but they continue to increase
to such an extent that unless their
numbers were kept down every sheep
farm would have to be abandoned, as,
indeed, has been the case in more than
one instance, many small farmers hav-
ing been ruined.
The rabbit is utterly destructive to
pasture-land, not only eating the grass
close to the ground, but even pulling
up the roots when the grass is finished.
Wire fence, sunk deeply into the ground
affords the only hope of checking the
animals, but after while, finding that
they can not force their way through it
they burrow under it. Miss Gordon
Cumming mentions that well known
sheep-breeder-Mr. Campbell-was
forced to abandon '.run'' Of 100000
acres. Various methods of extermina-
ting the rabbit have been tried. In
December, 1885, three hundred stoats
and weasels were sent to New Zealand
| for the purpose of being turned loose
into the rabbit burrows and destroying
the inmates. This was the sixth con.
signment within two years. What
success this importation may produce
seems rather doubtful, as the introduc.
ton of new animal is always dan.
gerous experiment. In fact, it recalls
the well-known experiences of the
Laccadives, where cats were sent to cal
the rats which destroyed the crowns o.
the palm trees, but preferred to stay OF
the ground and eat fish, which were
plentiful on the shore. Then some
snakes were sent, but only frightened
the inhabitants.
Then mOng00ses were sent, and found
that it was much easier to eat the poul
try than climb the palm trees after rats
Lastly, owls were sent to drive the rat
to the ground, where the cats and TIL
mongooses could get at them, The re
suit was that the interlopers were de
. stroyed, the inhabitants preferring tn
rats alone to the rats plus the cat, mon
goose, snake, and owl. Australia sui
