1.-THE EVIL EYE"

4 Remarkable Pair Of Optics Once Seen
by an English Traveller. -seesA
T The original source OF most super
stitions, and Of all idolatries in which
the idol is not deliberately manufact-
ured by human hands, is now recog-
nized to be the sense of surprise, OF
sudden fear, Or admiration. felt by the
'.untutored mind" as the Lichfield
school would have called it, for any
thing unusual 1t may be q remark
able tree. or a rock with defined
form, or an oddly-shaped stone. or a
shell with its convolutions reversed. or
a curious fruit like the coco-de-mer;
but it strikes the savage imagination
and is thenceforward surrounded by
some OF the instructive awe felt for the
supernatural. A regular worship, as
Sir Alfred Lyall has shown, often
grows up round such a curiosity, or it
becomes, as in the case of the shall
gram. sacred over a great tract Of the
world and among entire races Of 1nanr
kind. Now. nothing is moro fire.

eyes which DO literally ''beam,"'

there are eyes. generally steel gray in
Europe, but often black in Asia, which
never cease to menace, even when the
face is gentle or at ease. and there are
eyes into which n look of almost in

There was rumor on our streets the fore
part Of the week that the gun, boots and
bones of Warren Richardson, the Gunnison
merchant who was lost while hunting near
Irwin about two weeks ago, were found by a
searching party last Sunday. but from P.
T. Stevens, who returned from Gunuison
yesterday morning, We learn that the re.
mains found were not those of Richardson,
hut of som" other unfortunate WHO met his
death in that vicinity some time ago. The
bones are said to have been old and partly
decayed, which is u sure indication that they
k:e ilot those of Richardson, Of whom no trace
had been found up to that tinie.-Mont trose

Mr.. Richardson ut one time was resident
of Delta, and is well remembered by the "old
fiaen." He at one time was interested in
business here with Vandevsnter, aud built
