The Georgian has a beauty quite differ
ent from that Of the Circassinn. The Cir
cassian is dazzling, queen likeand stately.
She has a fair skin. She is elegant in
form. She is kindly and gentle in voice,
but lazy in movement and without spirit.
One OF her own sex has said There is
no soul in a Clrcassian beauty; and as
she pillows her pure, pale check upon her
small dimpled hand, you feel no inclina-
tion to arouse her into excrtiun: you are
contented 20 look upon her and 10 con-
template her loveliness.' The Georgian
is creature with ewes like mcteors and

The ancient folk legend of the sun dancing
on Easter morning seems to receive some in
direct support from a letter in Nature. AT
least, il it can be well established that the
moon dances upon occasions, our difficulty in
admitting that the sun does the same thing
must be diminished A lady at the antipo-
des, writing to her father in England, men
tions that she, with sister and friend, be-
ing on balcony the night before at half
past 10, distinctly saw the waning moon
dancing up and down. They gradually grew
frightened as they watched the phenomenon,
and made up their minds that it must por-
tend an earthquake. The writer adds that
the movement was apparent only when the
moon was partly behind thin clouds, which
were streaked across her face. This proba-
bly, gives the key to the mystery. A waning
moon would not be far above the horizon at
half-past 10, and its image well within the
zone Of mirage from rising and falling va
pors, while the combined movement Of moon
and intervening clouds would easily produce
q familiar optical delusion, and, aided by an
alarmed imagination, give the moon the ap
pearancc of dancing.-Home Journal

"The account Of the exploits of prize
fighters as knights Grant said a well
known clergyman, who didn't want his
name mentioned lest he might be suspected
of too great familiarity with such subjects,
reminded me of story which Capt. Ben
Fairchild, of the New York city police force,
used to vouch for twenty-five years ago. A
friend of the captains very proper sort of
person, whom we will call Mr.. Good-had
conceived an intense horror of prize fighters
in general, and Of John Morrissey in particu-
lar. Mr.. Good, one day while travelling up
the Erie road, dropped into conversation
with gentlemsnly stranger Of herculean
frame who occupied the seat next to him.
When the train arrived at Turner's the depot
was seen t. De in the complete possession Of a
mob of rou his and stalwart lumbermen, who
had taken possession of the lunch room and
terrorized everybody in the place Mr.. Good
was hungry, and he and his unknown com
panion left the train to get something to eat
Mr. Good pushed his way through the crowd,
and ordered an oyster stew from the waiter.
The proprietor demurred, on the ground that
the roughs would not permit any one else to
be served but their own party.
"'Oh. give my friend an oyster stew,
spoke up the unknown Hercules; 4 guess
therell be no trouble
"The stew was no sooner served than a
horny hand reach over Mr.. Goods shoulder
and tipped bis stew upon the focr.
"'Suppose you give me an oyster stew,
said the Hercules quietly, with a defiant
glance at the burly six footer who had spoiled
Mr.. Goods lunch. Another stew was served
and it was as promptly tipped over by the
same hand, while the mob of roughs laughed
uproariously But the Hercules, like ar
avenging thunderbolt, had leaped from his
stool, and the laugh died away as he went
right through that crowd, striking out right
and left until he bad cut broad swath cleal

Telegraph poles are about as unsightly as
anything that now straddles across our coun-
Try. They are getting to be so numerous
that some device should be thought of to
conceal or cover them. If nothing better can
be done let them be painted green. But it is
quite possible to grow vines on them of sorts
that will make them ornamental, but will
not reach the wires. At the present rate of
increase these poles will never be out of
sight in any well settled part of the land. In
Brazil nature is said to have taken the mat
ter in hand, and is covering noS. only the
poles but the wires. Thousands of little
mistletoes take root in the air after lodging
on the wires, and although soon dying, they
give better lodgment to other seeds, and so q
green fringe is created along the line. 1t does
