The Basques.

The Basques are peculiar race who
from the earliest times have inhabited
both slopes of the Pyrenees Mountains.
They have apopulation of about 800, 900,
somewhat less than fourth of this num-
Der living on the French side of the
mountains and the Others on the Spanish
side. But though their country has
been, through the ages, nominally under
the control of more than one foreign
power, no domination of Carthagenian,
Gothic, saracen, French or Spanish rule,
has ever really conquered this fearless
people or changed in any way their Pc
culiar characteristics. They are a robust
and active race, of darker complexion
than the Spaniards. Their women ae
beautiful and skilled in all outdoor work
They arc simple race, but proud, i'm
petuous, light-heartcd and hospitablc.
Their agricultural methods arc rude, but
they are so industrious that want Is hard
ly known among them. They have few
cities or villages, but their small dwell
ings are scattered over all the heights of
the Pyrenecs. Politically they are di-
vided into districts, each of which
chooses annually an alcaide, who is both
civil and military officer, and men,
Der of the supreme junta, which meets
every year for deliberation on matters OF
general interest. Their rights are pro-
tected by written constitutions granted
by ancient Spanish kings. The early
history of this remarkable people is un-
known; they are supposed TO be descen-
dants of the carly inhabitants of Spain
before the country was invaded by the
Celts. They are known to the Romans
as the Cantabri. Their language, which
is preserved among them in its pristine
purity, is altogether different from the
other languages Of Europe. Inter- Ocean,.

The Throne of Lilies.

This name is applied to the throne of
France because of the old French Ma
tional emblem-the fcur- -de-lis, species
of lily. Tho story of its adoption is as
follows: When Clovis, King of the
Franks, married the Princess Clotilda, of
Burgundy, in 493 A. D., she was a
Christian, but the King, like the most
of the Frankish nation, was heather.
The young queen earnestly desired the
conversion of her husband, but her
arguments had little effect on him.
However, in 49e, the king, when en-
gagged in battle with the Allemanni
(German), at Tolbiac, near Cologne, was
hard-presscd and in his necessity called
upon the God of the Christians, vowing
that should he obtain the victory he
would himself become Christian. The
Allemanni were routed, and on Christ
mas day of the same year Clovis and
several thousand of his soldiers were
baptized. Thus far we have veritable
history, but we must regard as legendary
the conclusion Of the tale, that on the
eve of his baptism an angel from heaven
presented King Clovis with blue ban
ner embroidered with golden fleurs-der
lis, which he was to adopt as the banner
of France. Probably sweet Clotilda her.
self embroidered the lilies and person.
ated-as she well might the angel.
However this may have been, from the
time of Clovis to the French Revolution
the Kings of France bore as their arms
an indefinite number, and latterly three
golden lilies on an azure field. Inter.

Tree-climbing Cray.Fish.

To show how flood or over-supply Of
water will at certain times alarm these
little creatures, a gentleman residing in
Freeport, ILL.,, informed mo that not
many months ago they had some very
heavy rains, that greatly increased the
volume Of the little river running
through the town. The water gradually
rose until numbers of quite large trees
werc submerged, and the stream was al
most twice its ordinary width. Such an
unusual occurrence naturally attracted
considerable attention, and my inform.
ant and number of others visited the
trees several times, and when the river
was at the highest they presented
strange appearance from little dis.
tance. Their trunks seemed to have
changed color from the water up to the
branches, and on closer inspection it
was found that they were complete.
ly incased with cray-fish, which covered
every available space, crowding upward
by hundreds, clinging to the bark and
to each other, in some spots packed one
upon another four and five deep; every
moment added to the throng, new ones
emerging from the water, while those
above, urged on, crept out upon the
branches, and completely covered them,
presenting novel and interesting sight.
The animals in many cases retained their
positions for several days, and did not
seem to be affected by their stay out of
water. The occasion, however, was
taken advantage of by the people, who
came with buckets and brooms and
swept them from the trees by hundreds,
storing them up for future use. The
cray-fish in certain portions OF the west
ern country is pest to the agriculturist,
and the work of these little creatures Of
ten greatly increases the labor and ex-
pense of breaking up land, especially at-
ter the burrows or mounds have stood for
many years, the vegetation that has
grown upon them often increasing their
size to mammoth proportions. Popular

A Wise Eel.

In the summer of 1868 Peter Kern of
Washington township, Pennsylvania,
caught small eel and put it in well in
his yard, where it still is. 1t is four
feet long and about five inches in diane
ter. 1t keeps itself concealed at the
bottom, except at irregular intervals,
when it comes to the top, and these ap-
pearances are always followed by rain
within day or two. During haying
and harvest and other critical periods of
farm work the farmers for miles around
send every day to Kern's for intelligence
of the eel. 1t will have no other kind of
fish in the well, and kills all that are put
in,-Pailadelphia Record.

Major Johnstone is very particular
about the spelling Of his name. He is a
very proud man on general principles.
Nothing exasperates him more than to
be mixed up geographically or other
wise with the common herd of Johnsons

hotel in Dallas. He had asked for his
bill, and when it was handed him by
the clerk he scowled fiercely.

Far from tho fern and moss,
Fluttering birch and wee fir cross
And tho pines low murmuring,
Where tho frightened lichens cling
To the overhanging edge
OF the precipice and ledge,
Fearless in their dainty glee,
Wave the harebells merrily.
From the dusky rafters hung,
Meier in Belgian belfry swung
Bells more exqui itely wrought
By the mountain breezes caught
Tossing, swaying to and fro
While beside them, bending low,
Breathless wait TO hear
Echo Of their Ginning clear.
But the airy harmony
Is too wonderful for me,
And cannot catch a strain
OF that rare and sweet refrain,
Yet the tiny bells still ring,
And they shall my greeting bring
Til, though near so softly stirred,
Every trembling note is heard.
