Caves In Tasmania.

Some fine caves have lately been dis
covered near Southport, Tasmania.
At the meeting of the Royal Society OF
Tasmania in June, an account OF
them was given by Mr.. Morton, who
had visited them They are situated
about four miles from Ida Bay, and
fairly good road leads to them. The
entrance is through limestone form
alton. A strong stream flows along
the floor OF the chambers. The first
chamber reached by Mr.. Morton and
those who accompanied him showed
some fine staIactities, and along the
floor some fine stalagmites were seen
On the lights carried by the party be-
ing extinguished, the ceilings and sides
OF the caves seemed studded with dia-
monds, an effect due to millions OF
glow-worms hanging to the sides OF
the walls and from the ceilings. Fur
ther on several chambers were explor-
ed, each revealing grander sights. The
time at disposal being limited, the
party had to return after traversing a
distance of about three-quarters of a
mile, but from what was observed the
caves evidently extended q distance OF
three or four miles. The only living
creatures seen were the glow-worms.
These caves, under proper supervision,
should become, Mr. Morton thinks,
one of the great attractions OF the
South of Tasmania.

Jack Sparrow's Warning.

AS q gentleman sat writing in his
library one cold winters afternoon,
he was reused by a loud chirruping
that seemed to him like call of warm
ing. Going to the window to ascer-
tain what it meant, he saw one or two
birds pecking at food that had been
put out for them on the snow, and on
the top of the grey oak palings that
divided the gardens of the next house
and his own, there lay q tabby cat
gazing with greedy eyes at the birds,
and slowly dragging itself along in
their direction. Sitting on the win
dow sill of the room above there sat
a sparrow which kept up loud twit-
terlng, SO emphatic as to appear de-
liberately uttered, and presently the
birds on the ground flew off. Then
the cat sprang to the earth and steal
thily crawled to an evergreen bush,
which it carefully examined. Then it
jumped up on to the fence on the other
side of the garden, only to find that
it's intended victims had disappeared.
AS soon as all the birds were beyond
the reach OF danger the call notes
ceased. But it was perfectly evident
that Jack Sparrow seated aloft had
spied pussy, and had uttered it's warn
ing cries to it's feathered fellows, who
were wise enough to give heed to them
while there was yet time.-Little Folks

Modern ManlCians.

Among the wild tribes of Africa, and
equally so among the abOrigines of Ameri-
ca, the magician, or medicine man, is look
ed upon as endowed with supernatural
powers. Some are specialists, and among
these the most valued and respected are the
rain makers" Rain being indispensable
to the maintenance of either animal or
vegetable life, it is not to be wondered at
that those supposed to have the power to
bring the welcome showers should be
reverenced as almost divine benefactors.
These are regarded as savage superstitions,
but strange to say, rain makers" have
appeared in our day and country. The
United States government had a corps of
rain makers in Texas last summer, who with
a series of terrific explosions, produced
rain-with some exceptions. One Mel
bourne, of Ohio, deluged Cheyenne with
water from the clouds, without artillery,
balloons, or other visible means. These re-
ports may be exaggerated; they may not
be true; and the magicians may be only
humbugs. Onemodern magi clan, however,
has demonstrated a clear ttle-and he is
the inventor Of the railroad. Transporter

THE ROSES LOVE.

The rose said to the moon, when summers
glory so,
Was at its height of power
o, list dear one, my passionate sad story
List to IL lowly flower.
When first ! felt that life had any bright
ness,
lifted up my face,
Fast beat my heart to feel its dewy white
Folded in thy embrace.
l watched thy face, so far away in heaven,
So far away from me, .fa
From thy soft setting till the dewy even,
thought of thee, OF thee.
l trembled when thy snowy beam did'st
find me,
Trembled and looked above,
One tie alone there is on earth tobind me,
die without thy love.
Last night felt thy glances glowing, beam
ing,
Lone as lonely star,
o, why should all my soul of thine be
dreaming,
And thou away so far.
I'll breathe my love in perfume, it may
reach thee,
Half of my longing heart,
Be not so cold, but take beseech thee,
AS of my soul part.
Night came again, the rose in longing wait
ed,
The heavens were dark above,
Through folds of clouds the stars came out
belated,
No answer came to love.
But when the moon, touched by her tender
pleading,
His silver lovelight shed,
To reach her heart SO long unanswered,
bleeding,
The rose lay silent dead.

The Death of PoIygamy.

There are probably hundred and
fifty thousand Mormons in this Terri
tory; but of that number many are
only nominally so. Amid the con-
tentlons between them and the Gen
tiles, many have sided with the church
in which there are parents, relatives,
and friends, without embracing its
faith. 1t is idle now to think of dis
franchising the Latter-day Saints.
They are an Industrious, temperate
people, as a rule; and my observation
has led me to believe that they are
law abiding since the church took its
stand under the law against plural
marriage. / am aware that now and
then individuals will report violations
OF that law since the manifesto; but
upon investigation such charges are
seldom sustained. In would be strange
if there were no breaches of it: there
are some such cases among the non.
Mormons. l do not believe that snch
marriages have been authorized OF
sanctioned by the officers of the Nor.

Unshorn, unshaven, the wreck of q

from his nap on bench in Battery

the first page of which was written
what follows:

SUED HIM AND WENT HIS BAIL

A Wife's Devotion Overcomes
Her Resentment at Her Husband s
Cruelty.
The Magistrates of this city, especial
ly those who mete out justice to the
criminals in the southern sections,
have many queer cases to deal with,
says the Philadelphia Times, but one
which was heard before Magistrate
Fulmer presents many peculiar feat
ures, and deserves to be placed on
record as one of the most novel in
the criminal history OF this city.
The case in question was that OF Har-
ry Rodgers, who was given q hearing on
the charge OF assault and battery, pre-.
ferred by his wife, Mrs. Rodgers testi-
fed against her husband, claiming
that he had brutally beaten her with
out any provocation. Magistrate Full
mer, after hearing the evidence, decid-
ed to hold Rodgers in $500 bail for
his appearance in court.
Up to this point the hearing was by
no means unusual and was similar to
those which are every day presenting
! themselves to the attention of the
magistrate. AS is usual IN such casss
Rodgers was asked if he had any one
who would.go bail for him. He was
about to answer that he knew of no
one who would be kind enough to per-
form such an Office when suddenly, to
the surprise fallIpresent, Mrs. Rodgers
who had sworn against her husband
and on whose testimony he was put
under bail, stepped up to the magis-
trate's desk and offered to 60 his bail
for his appearance.
This, OF course, greatly puzzled the
Magistrate, but as the woman satisfied
him of the fact that she was proper
ty-owner he was obliged to accept
her as security. The bail was entered,
and husband and wife left the Office
together and no doubt will settle
the matter between themselves in
such way that it will not require the
efforts Of the court to adjust it.

Under some occult but imperative

eyed astonishment; and, without a
| word or gesture seized the old blue
| jar and hurried from the room.
Randall smiled the first real soul
felt, refreshing smile that he had in
dulged in for several months and
vowed by the pigtail of the old slant
eyed that he would stay rooted to the
spot until Clementine returned.
What she said to the genius of the
jar as she flew upstair with it only
the mandarin can reveal.
AS Randall paced the floor, pulling
his moustache and wondering If Glenn
entine's keen sense of humor would
carry her safely through the trying
hour, she came emaciateedly into the
room, bearing in one hand the blink
ing old mandarin, and in the other
the pleading letter he had borne SO
long hid in his clever old bosom.
Randall met the dear girl more than
half way, and as she whimpered gent
ly on his shoulder he promised never,
never, never to tell.
And when they were married, if you
believe me, that ridiculous old ginger
jar accompanied them on their we'd
| ding trip, and Randall packed the
bosom of the grotesque mandarin full
of Clementines bridal roses, there to
fade, and there forever to remain.
Now, as Randall never told, and
Glenn .ntine never told, the entire re
sponsibility of this revelation lies be-
tween you and me and the ginger jar

Easy or impossible.

A remark imputed to Victor Hugo
in reply to a young man, who asked
him if it was difficult to write poetry,
is both witty and true, but it is more
witty than true.
"My dear sir" the poet is said to
have replied, sit is either easy or i'm
possible!"
But it is not always easy for true
poets to write poetry. Homer nodded
occasionally, and other great poets
have put forth most prosy poetry.
