PERHAPS no odder place was ever
selected than that hit upon by pair
of wrens in England. A crow hal
leen caught and nailed to tree IS q
sort of warming to his fellows The
body was soon aevoured and carried
away by ants, leaving on'y the Gather
clad skeleton on the tree. For some
reason pairof tiny wrens took fancy
to the dead crow and began to utilize
it. They brought the wings together
and ingeniously fastened them. Then
they built their nest between the wings
and made ali entrance to it at the place
where the crows breast Lsd been.

paws, no longer to be seen, fifty feet

paws, no longer to be seen, fifty feet
long. Between the paws was erected
temple thirty-five feet long, while in
front of the giants breast was small
sanctuary, entered by doorway di-
yided into passages by reclining Ion.
At the far end of the sanctuary was the
tablet of Thothmes w., and on either
side other tablets covered with sculp-
tured bas-reliefs and hieroglyphics,
while in the court of the temple was an
altar, which, with some fragments of
the Sphinx, is now in the British Mn-
scum. Here for ages troops of priests
otficiated. Upon the stately fight of
steps, 80 arranged that the lordly pro-
portions of the Sphinx might be seen
to advantage, endless troops of wor-
shippers assembled, or Frustrated them
selves as the smoke Of the burned sac
rifice curled over the then fertile val
ley. Though the slabs with the dream
of Thothmes and prayer of the Sphinx
to keep his statue clear of the sand
which has since then overwhelmed it
are no longer there, the outline of the
temple and the flight of steps will be
exposed to view. The dead wall, with
the mounds of shifting sand piled
against it, will, as we have said, form a
most prosaic outwork to this noble
monument, and must conceal from the
visitor that front view which, as in the
case of Stonehenge, is to many most
striking. But the opportunity of see-
ing the entire figure and of observing
the majestic face as the sculptor in.
tended it to be seen from below, not
from in front, and on the Same level,
will be ample compensation for what
must necessarily be lost.-Losado,a
Daily telegram.

MARRIAGE in Scandinavia in old times
could take place without clergy, but
divorce required religious rite. The
wife could demand this if the husband
wasted the common property. The
husband was absolute master of the
property OF hia wife, even of her dover,
but if they were separated, he mustre-
store all that belonged to her, and from
one-third to one-half of their common
acquisitions.

PRINCE BISMARCK, in the upper
house of the Prussian Landtag speak
ing recently on the Government bill
expropriating the land of the Poles in
Posen, declared that the colonization
of German Poland by Germans was a
defensive act undertaken by Prussia to
avert the destruction of Germanism,
and to prevent the inhabitants of large
communes of German ancestry from
becoming wholly Polanized, and as the
history of the past thirty years showed
they were tending to become. The
Government" said the Chancellor,
''must withstand the cancer-like spread
of Polanism, and while it has no desire
to extirpate the Poles, of themselves,
still it does not wish to be extirpated
itself 10y the Poles"

TIE delegation of Mormon women
in Washington are managing their cam
paign very shrewdly. They 60 from
house to house. They pick out from
the list of Senators and Representatives
those most likely to be affected by their
appeals, and it is really thought they
are making considerable sentiment in
their favor. They tell in detail their
grievous experiences with the Ed
munds law, and say that ali they ask is
the appointment of an intelligent COM
mission to 60 to Utah and investigate
the practical enforcement of the act.
One quite effective argument used is
that the obnoxious rulings under the
law have been made by the Utah Judge
appointed from Michigan, whose name
was withdrawn from the Senate some
weeks ago. The test of his interpreta-
ton of the law comes up in the SUI
preme Court soon, and the Mormon
women think it is sure to be reversed.

SUITS were begun recently at
Raleigh, N. c., against the Governor
and Auditor of North Carolina, with
the object of forcing the levying and
collection of the special taxes imposed
in several acts of the North Carolina
Assembly of 1869, at which time the
special tax bonds of North Carolina
were issued. These bonds aggregate
eleven million dollars, and the special
taxes imposed were sufficient to meet
the annual interest. Subsequent legis-
lation forbade the State officers to col
lect these special taxes, and an amend
ment to the Constitution forbids the
Legislature to pay any thing. either on
the interest or principal, without SUBJ
hitting the matter to the people.
Before this suits have been brought in
the Federal Courts, without avail, to
enforce the rights of the creditors.

A PECULIAR incident happened in
connection with the pardon of John
Thornton by Governor Oglesby, of IL
linois, recently. Thornton is farmer
of considerable property, the farm be-
ing located near Peoria. He was sent
to the penitentiary for attempting to
kill neighbor during a quarrel over a
line of fence. The day before his par
don Thornton's wife fell from her
farm wagon and broke her neck. A
neighbor at once telegraphed the hus-
band in his cell at Joliet and asked
Thornton to give an order so that a
team could be sold that money might
be raised to bury his wife with. Thorn
ton refused to give an order to raise
the money. Had the Governor known
these facts it is doubtful if he would
have pardoned the old man.
