a rumor is current in Athens. Ga, to
the effect that there is a rock / IN Clarke
county, about six miles from town, upon
which no man dares to tread. The super
stitious say that about twenty or twenty
five years ago an old gentleman buried n
coffee pot full of gold at the foot Of this
rock and has since died, and when a man
passes that way his ghost appears and
drives him off. Parties passing near the
place have been run more than n mile
by this invisible ghost They say that
when they como near the place, even
though'it be a perfectly still day, a noise
be heard like q terrible cyclone, and
the tall pines which surround the
rock begin to bow and many Of them fall
10 the ground. One Sunday two gentle
men from Athens, who heard the rumors
and doubted them. visited the rock with
the intention OF proviug the reports to be
false, but they did not stop long. They
climbed to the top of the rock, when
they became astonished by hearing a
terrible crash. Hardly before they knew
1t n large pine tumbled to the ground
right at their feet. While an examina-
ton of the tree was being made, which
was twisted from the ground, another
fully us large came down with q crash.

night as Clara Morris was nearing the
conclusion of her play: at will be 12
o'clock before Miss Morris leaves the
house. When the curtain falls on this
act she will sob and s7=eam oil the way

sit for an hour rocking back and forth
until she gets quoted down Then she

Apropos Of this ! shall never forget the
first night of Jane Shore" Don Piatt's
play, at the Brooklyn theatre. Clara
Morris was Interested in the play and
practically produced it. 1t was a failure,
largely due 10 imperfect rehearsals and
the most scandalous mismanagement it
has ever been my misfortune TO witness.
Morris was frantic. Through the per-

evitable result, her excitement became
almost uncomfortable.

Some idea of the extent of territory
of the Canadian diocese may be gath
cred from the fact that the Bishop Of
Moosonee exercises jurisdiction over an
area as large as Europe, extending all
around the Hudson's bay territory and
reaching up to the North Pole. Ten
thousand people are under his care in
this vast region, and there Is no resident
minister of any other body of Christians
besides the bishop and his seven clergy.
The distances are enormous, and the
shortest way to the northern part of the
diocese is to go to England first and
then go put in the yearly ship which en-
tiers Hudson's bay. The bishop has
everything to do for himself, and is a
good printer, b~ootmaker, carpenter,
b~ricklayer, etc. He has been a worker

Almost every vessel that encounters
heavy seas reports, on reaching harbor,
that oil was used in calming the waves
with great Success, and had it not been
for the oieasinous liquid, the ship and all
on board would certainly have gone to
the bottom. Notwithstanding these null
hilarious statements the percentage Of
vessels lost appears to remain nUout the
same. Even if the oil has no great eff
feet on the angry waters it certainly pro-

a Mother,s Responsibility.

Unfortunately not every mother thinks
it necessary to teach polite manner to
her children. Her boys do not take off
their hats when they come into the pres.
ence of ladies. her girls interrupt rudely
in conversations. 1t is n common occur
n in our street cars to see an elderly
gentleman give up his seat to some old
woman while a 6-year-old youngsteI
spreads over room enough for two, and
with his mother looking on apparently
ignorant that she is rearing n son with
the selfish EsuInCrs of u rub. The he.
havior of her children is a pretty cIeaI
mirror Of the mothers own nature. II
is from her they learn courtesy and gal

and have a furtive, restless look, as il
he was continually ON the watch for
an officer of the law. He has been in
Jail several times, and has finally
reached the grade Of highway robber.
When he finishes his term of impris-
onment he will be fitted for his long
sought position of gang leader, and
may thence be graduated, as Driscoll,

A Trade In Dog Skins.

II is well known that in many dis
tricts of Manchuria and China there is
a great trade in dog and goat skins,
which are employed in the manufac-
ture OF robes and mats; but il is com
monty supposed hat the skins are
remnants OF dirty and filthy animals
which abound, in those quarters. The
idea, however, is q mistake, for the
business Of rearing dogs for this pur-
pose is well established and is as sys-
tematic an industry as sheep farming.
There are countless dog farms scatter.
ed over the unknown regions of Man
churia and Mongolia, where from
twenty to 100 dogs r reared every
year, and where the inhabitant is es.
teemed according to the number OF
dog skins in his possession. 1t is prob.
able that the most beautiful dogs are
to be found in these countries, for the
exceedingly low temperature of win.
ter, where the thermometer falls 10
80 degs. f. below zero, produces q
magnificent coat and skin. The prices
obtained are, however, very unproit'
able, q full sized robe eighty inches
square, containing the skins Of eight
animals, being quoted at las. Sd. The

A Letter Of Prince Albert

In the second volume OF his memoirs
the Duke of Coburg makes certain dis
closures Of the deepest interest. Thus
he writes:
IF il were desired to characterize
the relations between my brother, tho
prince consort, and Lord Palmerston
In general terms one might say that
the only thing that united them was a
common aversion TO certain persons
and things"
In this connection the duke quotes
q letter from Prince Albert TO himself,
written toward the end of the year
1851, the year OF the first international
exhibition. In this epistle the late
prince consort writes:
"The year closes with an event fortu-
nate for us-namely, that the man
who has embittered our whole lives by
constantly forcing us 10 the shameful
alternative of either sanctioning his
misdeeds all over Europe, Of educating
the Radical party here under his
leadership into a power, or OF getting
into open war with the crown, and
thus throwing the only country in
which liberty, order and respect 10 law
exist together into the general chaos
that this man has, as IL were, cut his
own throat. Give a rogue rope enough
and ho will hang himself is an old
English proverb with which we have
sometimes tried TO console ourselves,
and which has once more proved true
In this case. We shall have
all sorts Of trouble with Palmerston,
who is furious, and likewise with Q
reform bill which hes been promised,
and the right carrying out OF which u
of great importance TO all Europe"
