Highland Superstitions.
From Murrny's Magazine.


The belief in FAIRIES and brownies of the
more playful and fanciful kind of fairy,
seems to belong more to the lowlands Of
Scotland than the highlands. The charac-
ter of the people was softer. and the lighter
forms of superstitious belief found a more
fitting home there than in the highlands,
where the the gloomy and austere charac-
ter of the people led them to invest the su-
parnatural inhabitants OF their glens and
mountains with something more ekin TO
their own darker and sternor natures. Thus
the fairies and brownies of the lowlands
take in the north the form of warnings, that
come in gruesome guise to foretell misior-
tune and calamity TO the family to whom
they belong. and to whom they appear
when danger of misfortune threatens their
patrons. Every great and powerful family
in the north was believed TO have a super
natural warning or omen which appeared
before the death of any prominent member.
IL varied in most cases, but each family OF
"a clan generally received the same warning
before death as the chief. Very striking
condolences no doubt have occurred, quite
important enough to convince a highly
superstitious people of their infallibility.
Thus among the MackenEies the death can
die was always said to appear before the
death Of any leading member Of any branch.
A large light appeared at some distance in
the sky, sailing slowly till it arrived above
the place where the person whose death 1t
predicted lived, when it would slowly dis
appear in brilliant coruscation Of light.
In Tulloch castle cold hand was always
said 10 be laid on the face of the person
whose death 1t foretold. In another family
q white owl Always appeared when any
member was going to die, end in another a
black dog; while ON the west coast of the
highlands an old woman, commonly called
the "Gruagach," appeared TO foretel the
death of some important member of the
family to which she specially belonged.

From the NeU York Press.
Many people went to Grace chapel, the
Five Points mission. Sunday afternoon, to
hear little Alice Miller sing. She is the
child who sang last May in the Metropoli-
tan opera house SO clearly that every one
in the vast building heard her words dis
tinctly. Her voice is clear soprano, full,
strong. and has an indescribable pathos
Yesterday she sang the solo, Ozark Below,
but Light Above" with such exquisite
feeling that there were few dry eyes In the
audience.
After the school was dismissed reporter
sought her out and talked with her. She is
very little girl, with beautiful face,
brown, curling hair, dark hazel eyes, per-
fectly chiseled features, and a very sweet
expression. She looked brightly into the
reporters face when speaking.
My name is Alice Miller, and ! am 9
years old, - she said in answer to questions
II like to sing better than anything else
No, Pm not afraid. Sometimes my heart
beats little before / get up, but when

"Do you sing anything besides gospel

"Oh, yes; l know lots of songs and some
of the solos from the operas. l like to sing
operas, they go up so high"
"Has any one ever given you any in
structionp
Whats thatr

sings"
"Oh, yes. I take lessons all tho time
Some lady in the mission is having me
taught, and my teacher says that some day,
maybe, I'll lie great singer if / study
hard, and mean to try, said the little one
with decided nod.

Courtship a Hundred Years Ago.

As au illustration of the stately courtesy
and somewhat grandiloquent style of our
grandfathers, the Norfolk Virginidn pub
fishes the annexed letters, one from Mr.
John Wise, the father of the late Gen.
Henry A. Wise, written to Gen. John
Cooper, seeking permission TO address his
daughter, and the other Gen. Cooper's re-
ply In Mr. Wise's let or he says:
"Feeling myself irreSistibly lmpelled by
inclination, and prompted by sense of
propriety, have pre,umed now to address
you upon subject of Importance and deli
cacy. Having conceived an affection for
your daughter Miss Sally, beg leave 10
solicit your permission TO make address 10
her, and at the same time let me express
the hope that, should | be so fortunate us
to succeed IN gaining her affections, my
first wishes may not be frustrated by your
disapprobation. / have thought proper
to make this application to You on the
subject in this manner, rather than in per-
son, because my character-f / have
acquired auy-my condition, and my
situation in life are not altogether unknown
to you. and if objections are to be made
they can be more freely communicated Ia
this than any other way. l have hereto
fore proceeded no further with the lady
than merely to obtain her permission 10
make this application; and, sir, | now
pledge you the honor of a gentleman that
IN case you nave Objection OF an insuperable
nature to the proposed union, whatever
may be the chagrin, regret, and mortified
ton which | may feel on the occasion,
will not disturb the quiet of parent ex-
tremely solicitous, no doubt, for the happi-
ness OF a beloved daughter by persisting
any further with her.
Under date of May IL, 1877, Gen. Cooper
responded, saying:
Although the application made by your
lat TAI NN a
reflections heretofore on the subject have
prepared me to answer that, however
solicitous may be for the temporal felicity
and future responsibility of my daughter,
she is the only proper judge of the person
best calculated to make her happy. Re-
spect and impair TALLY ought to be shown
by me TO you or any other gentleman that
might make his address TO my daughter,
and conhde in your candor and judg-
ment.n

A Wonderful Surgical Feat.
From the 81. James Gazette.


A startling advance in surgical scienc,
has been made by DR.. Macmillan Klein, u
German military surgeon. The particulars
are given by the professional journal, Mem
ordbiLien. A man accidentally cut Off his
left great toe i'll the middle of the first
joint. The severed piece remained hang
ing to the foot, but the connecting skin
was scarcely thicker than a thread. Dr.
Klein sewed on the fragment, dressed it
with iodoform, and had the satisfaction, in
twenty-five days, of finding the wound
healed and the toe perfectly sound and
flexible. Encouraged by the unexpected
result in this case, DR.. Klein was induced
to apply the same treatment again. A
recruit, in order to disable himself and
so escape from military service
deliberately cut off his fore-finger with an
ak at the second joint. The finger-end
was lost, and could not be found until half
an hour had elapsed 1t was then cold ard
blue. Nevertheless DIR. Klein sewed 1t tn
the stump and applied bandage Of iodo-
form gauze. AS early as the second day it
was evident that circulation had been
partially re-established throughout the
finger. and in six weeks the man had not
only left the hospital, but was doing the
very rifis-drill which he had hoped 30 shirk
The finger was, in fact, as serviceable as it
had ever been. These stories read almost
like extracts from the exploits of Baron
Munchbausen. That they are chronicled in
Memorabilien is, however, evidence of their
truth. English surgeons will not be so
unwilling TO credit them as they would
have been in the days before tho discovery

CirClaa

The stockholders of the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia system will hold a
special meeting at Knoxville, Tenn, OCT. Is.
The stockholders of the Alabama Midland
railway will hold special meeting at Mont
gomery Oct. 10, and another at Bainbridge
Oct. 16.
Yesterday was pay day at the Central
railroad. Over 1000 people went up TO the
paymaster's car and signed for their monthly
earnings.
1t is announced in railroad circles that
Sol Haas has decided to continue as traffic
manager Of the Associated railways of Vir-
ginia and the Carolinas. Some time ago
Mr.. Haas submitted his resignation to the
association, to take effect on Nov l, IN
order to accept similar position with the
Newport News and Mississippi Valley Rail
road Company. 1t is said, however, that
such strong inducements were brought
to herr upon him that he has
withdrawn his resignation. One Of
the possible results of the resignation
Of MIR. Haas was the disruption of the truce
which has so long existed between the At
lantic Coast Line, the Seaboard Airline and
the Piedmont Airline, and fierce rate war
between these competing systems. The de-
cision of Mr.. Haas has averted this, aud
will, therefore, cause a feeling of relief
among freight agents at the south.
