Curious Hindoo Notions.

A curious light is thrown on the rural
life of Bengal by the contents of a paper
reprinted lately in the annual report of
the Bombay Anthropological society,
says The Calcutta Times. From this
paper we are told the following, among
other things: Shouting the name of the
king of birds (garuda) drives away
snakes. Shouting ram, ram, drives away
ghosts. Cholera that attacks on Mon
day or Saturday ends fatally, but no
cholera that attacks on Thursday. The
Towering of bamboos augurs famine
In tanning, if the fan strikes the body it
should be thrice knocked against the
ground. When giving aims the giver
and receiver should not be standing on
different sides of the threshold. It is
bad to pick ones teeth with ones nails
If snake is killed it should be burned,
for it is Brahman. At night the words
'ssnake" and sstiger" should not be used;
call them creepers and insects. Do not
wake up sleeping physician. A morn
ing dream always comes to pass. De-
votion without headgear is wrong. Iron
is charm against ghosts. A black cat
with white face is very auspicious.-

He COuld Drive.

The first colonel of the First Maine
cavalry was bluff John Goddard, an iron
sided old lumberman. Before the war
he used to take gangs of men into the
woods every winter.
Late one fall in the "fifties" a tall,
lank Yankee came into Col. Goddafd's
office and asked for employment as
teamster.
"Do you know how to drive oxen?"
asked Goddard.
81 rather reckon do" was the BASH
full response.
Suppose was yoke of oxen," said
Goddard, getting down on call fours" on
the Office floor, land suppose would
not haul, let me see what you would do
to make me come up under the yoke"
The Yankee objected at first, but when
he was told that his winters work de-
pended upon the trial, he took the long
braided oaken OK goad and began to
flourish it over the kneeling Goddard's
head
"Hish, Bright; get up there, Golden.
Come here, Star; gee off, Liru," he yell
ed in turn, but never a move did God
dard make. Finally, getting weary, the
teamster inserted the steel brad into
Goddard's trousers. The coming cavalry
colonel got up in hurry, and the
Yankee was hired at his own price,
proving the best teamster in the gang.
When the cavalry regiment was organ
lied the humorous teamster went to the
front as private, and when he fell
fighting under Grant he had set of
lieutenant's epaulettes on his shoulders

She Returned the Ring.

The remains of Tom Whalen, the fire.
man who was burned to death on Sum-
day night last, were disinterred this morn
ing and a plain gold ring placed upon
his finger.
Tom was to have been married soon,
and when his body was taken from
under the wall the ring his sweetheart
had given him was removed and sent
back to her. In the final preparation
for interment the ring was not replaced,
and the young lady at once made ar
engagements to have it done at her own
expense. She had the body taken from
the grave and with her own hands placed
the engagement band on her dead lovers

The ..sweet Potato. /"

The latest invention in cheap mouth
instruments comes from Austria, and is
generally called the ''sweet potato, !"
though its right name is the ocarina. 1t
is made of clay, and exactly resembles a
sweet potato in shape. It is kind OF
combination of the flute and clarinet,
but is of course very much shorter. The
ocarina is made in every key and can be
played without difficulty, being probably
the easiest learned musical instrument
ever invented. It is very clear in its
tone, and answers well for experiments
with the photograph. Interview in st.

Who ever heard this time of year.
Of taking teams right out
OF haydn, and of harveStin'
To galivant aboutl'
Then Aunt Jane went to beating eggs;
While Kate, with eyes of brown,
Looked down the road Could it be Jack.
Coming that day from town?
The old brass knocker later on,
Resounded through the hall,
And Aunt Jane said 81 told you so,
That dish cloths brought call
TIL just peek through the parlor blinds
Wait Kate-it's-let me see
That city chap; I'm glad enough,
It's nobody for me.
Well, that's the way; all lovers will
Go vis'tin' when they please,
But do wish they'd stay at home
In hurryin' times like theseI''
