JULES VERNE'S LATEST FANTASY.

The m1dntEES Flsit OF DE- EF1LulEhS'
The rising gale whistles. The ram
comes down in torrents. Low sway the
trees under the blast that sweeps the
yolsinian shore, and dashes its fury
against the slopes Of the mountains OF
Crimma. The rock bound coast is rent
sud riven by the tempestuous pillows
that surge and foam along the vast Me-
galoerida Sea.
In the depth of the bay nestles the
little seaport town of Luktrop. 1t
boastsa few hundred houses with green
ish miradors sheltering them from the
winds of the main, and four or five steep
streets that look more like the beds Of
a mountain torrent than public thor
oughfares. Not far off smokes the Van
glor, an active volcano, which by day
blenches forth thick volumes of sulphur
Gus Yapor, and by night ftful foods Of
fame. The crater seen fully one hun
bred and fifty kertses out at sea, answers
the purpose Of a beacon and guides home
to Luktrop the coasters-felzanes, YER
liehes, or balan8es-that pillow the
troubled waters OF the M~egalocrida.
On the other side of the town are
heaped up ruins of the Crimmerian era;
while the suburb, of Moorish aspect,
like 4 casbah or Algerian fortress, with
its white walls, round roofs, and ter
races calcined by the sun, seems q huge
pile Of square stones thrown together
1T hap hazard. The whole mass looks
like a cluster Of dice, the dots of which
have been worn away with age.
Among other peculiar structures may
be seen an odd-looking building called
the sx-Four from the number of its
windows, SIX in front and four behind.
al steeple rises above the town, the
sauare steeple of Saint PhiIhlene,

the storm, 1t is accounted a bad sign,
and she good people Of the place are
filled with fear at the omen. Such is
Luktcp, with a few stray houses on the
hsath beyond, scattered amid the broom
and furze, AZ in Brittany. Luktrop,
however, is not in Brittany, Is it in

the narrow door Of the Six Foar, on the
hand corner Of Messagliere Street,
Al comfortable house this, if such q word
il known at Luktrop, and one Of the
thriftiest Of tho place, if to earn on an
average d few thousand fretzers a year

Al ferocious yelp, something between
bark and a howl, as from a wolf. has
