Since the explorations of recent
travellers have completely verified
the older accounts of the existence
of a race of dwarfs OF pygmy men in
Africa, renewed interest has been
aroused in the tradition that a race
of human dwarfs also lives in Spain.
Mr.. R.. G.. Halliburton, who has spe-
cially interested himself in the inves-
tigation of the truth of this tradition,
seems convinced that it is true.
According to the information he
has collected, these Spanish pygmies
vary in height from about three and
a quarter to four feet and are pre-
cisely similar to the dwarfs of Africa.
They possess the tufts of wool which

Some Of these little people are said

ployed as shepherds. The British
consul at Barcelona is convinced of

The way Gounod earned the first
money by his compositions is related by
the Freres Lionnet in their Memoirs"
They met him at the house of Escudier
in 1855. At that date he had already
produced his "Sappho." but at his own
expense. He asked the Hornets, who

to sing some of his melodies. To en-
courage them he sat down to the piano
and sang a few of them himself. They
admired them greatly. YES" he said.
Everybody admires them, everybody
compliments me on them, but no pub
Usher will bring them out. They are
said to be too difficult for the public. By
the way, I have just composed a song to
the words Of Beranger entitled MOI
habit l consider it one of my best
compositions, and I think it would suit
you WELL" Thereupon he sang it.
Anatole Lionnet promised to sing it
the next evening and did so. He then
spoke to the publisher about it, but the
same objection was made. Eyes, it is
charming, no doubt" said the publisher,
"but it will not sell. However, if M.
Lionnet will undertake to sing it for a
few nights I will consent to publish it
and give Gounod 100 francs for it,"
Gounod joyfully accepted the modest
sum; it was the first he had earned

The HOspitable Yuruk.

Among the qualities possessed by
the Yuruk hospitality is no doubt
prominent. Deprived by the very
influence of his adventurous life of
all the fierce instincts which charac-
terize the Turkomans; restricted be-
cause of his occupations to the
woods, the plains or the mountains
constantly exposed to the inclem-
ency Of the seasons, to dangers and
enemies of all kinds, the Yuruk has
conceived a generous and noble idea
OF hospitality, and he practices it
with disinterestedness and pleasure.
His tent, whether in his presence or
absence, is always opened to the
traveller, and food and drink in abun-
dance + given him. The tents of
the Yuruks I square and made of
a sort Of black wooden cloth.-A.

But what did care for his antics
When you were far off in the east?
There's a witch hard at work in my heart, dear,
And l feel she has rent 1t in two;
Yet l welcome and joy in the wound, dear,

And far in the distance ! see
A sunshiny face looking up with a smile
And blowing an answer to me!

Fur Bits and No Kiss.

The following account of a ceremony
which was performed in Tucker county,
W. Va, is worth relating and will serve
to show how solemn an affair the ques-
ton of matrimony is considered to be in
the infant protege of the Old Dominion;
"Do you take this woman, whose hand
you're a-squeezin, to be your lawful wife
in flush times and skim?'
Il reckon that's about the size of it,
squire"
you take this man you've jined
fists with to be your pard through thick
and thin?"
"Well, you're about right for once,
old man."
"All right, then. Kiss in court, an I

RED INDIAN MAGIC.
The Celebrated Mango Tree Trick Outdope
hx the lsaunaas

The Celebrated Mango Tree Trick Outdope
by the Pawnees.
We have all heard of the Oriental
mango tree trick, of the tree which
grows under the eastern magician's
hands. But it grows beneath "A GOV
er, and no doubt the trick is wrought
by legerdemain. The Pawnee prac-
tlee Is better and is attested by Ma
Jor North. the best authority on the
Pawnees. He has een in a lodge
the hard floor broken up in a little
circle the size of a dinner plate. The
ground was watered and the coniurer
planted some corn. Then he left the
place and sang a song. A tiny green
blade then shot up and grew Is
inches in 90 minutes.
The major had now to leave the
lodge to help a white woman who
was fainting. The white men who
remained assured him that the corn
grew to full height and that an ear
from it was plucked by the conjurer
n handed to the spectators. A
similar feat was done with a cedar
berry. 1t grew to 8 feet in height
and had a bunch of fresh and grow
ing roots. The trick is that of the
mango tree, but performed in cir
cumstanccs much more extraordi-
nary.
Il have never found any one who
could even suggest an explanation"
says Mr.. Grinnel. Bear Chief. an
old Pawnee, reports a case in which
the conjurer took a fawn skin; he
shook it, and it became a living fawn.
This is the trick which Father Lale-
mant's Hurons could not do. He set
a square cut cedar branch on a rock,
and no one could pull it off.
Among the Blackfeet the stuffed
skin OF an animal becomes alive and
by its power effects a cure. MANY
examples of this might be given but
for lack of space. Entirely honest
Indians and white men have seen
such cures and believe I'M them. We
know how easily some Europeans
fall under the spell of b~arbarous
chiefs, but Major North can hardly
be included in this class. We are
induced to believe that some Paw
nee c%onjurers, like Mr.. Haggard's
Zulu, ''can make men see what thew
do not see" in a very remarkable
manner, and even this hardly ex-
plains the maize and cedar tree
tricks. The fawn skin trick requires
amazing skill in legerdemain, but we
have it only on Indian evidence. The
white spectators are not cited.
The Pawnees L rapidly dying out,
though the remnant has taken to ag-
riculture and hard work. But, if it
were only in the interests of conjur-
ing, their magic of amusement de-
serves examination. Their ordinary
magic involves 'telepathy" and clair
voyance, things which if they existed
at all might be expected to flourish
most among savages, especially if
philosophers are right who think
them a waning part of mans original
equipment. If Mr. Kellar or some
other civilized conjurer would ex-
anime Red Indian magic, he might at
least add some tricks to his collec-
ton. Andrew Lang in London Illus

The Water Spiders Air Bubble.

The water spider, which spends
most of its time under water, carries
a bubble of air for breathing on the
under side of its body, and when the
air is exhausted it comes to the sur
face for more. 1t is enabled to carry
the air bubble because the under
side of its body is covered with tiny
hairs set so close together that the
surface film of the water does not
PASS them, although the air does, and
thus the air is imprisoned among the
hairs.-St. Louis Republic.

With regard to the fidelity of the
bulldog, that quality is almost pro-
verbal. Their intelligence has, how
ever, been often questioned, and
without doubt many are slow at
picking, up new ideas. But the ma
jority of bulldog pups Of today if
carefully and kindly brought up will
develop intelligence at least as great
as that Of most dogs. The writer's
experience has been that, a properly
trained bulldog is only equaled in
cunning by a fox or a monkey.

A Ridiculons Regulation.

A few days ago the President nom ina i ed
| JAMES ID. PORTER TO I've District Judge Of
| the United States for the Eastern and Mid
| die districts VI Tennessee. Mr.. PORTER Is a
lawyer who was one Of the Assistant Secre-
taries Of State during the first Administra-
tion Of Mr.. CLEVELAND, while Mr.. THOMAS
+. BAYARD was at the head Of the State
Department. During the period of his ser
| vice as Assistant Secretary OF State, he
could not devote any time to the practice of
the law, and recently he has been engaged
in the railroad business in the South. Fur
thermore, it is said that Mr.. PORTER does
not live in either the Eastern or Middle
district of Tennessee.
These facts have been used against him
before the Senate Committee on the Ju.
dietary. The non-resdence of Mr. PORTER
in the district Is declared to have had no
weight Some importance was attached to
his prolonged absence from activity as legal
practitioner. The great objection, however,
which has led the committee to agree in
favor OF rejecting the nomination is the fact
that Mr.. PORTER is sixty-six years Of age
Early this session." we are told, 1.-The
committee established an age limit and
placed the figure at sixty years, believing
that no man ought to be appointed to the
bench who had passed that time Of age"
This is an absurd regulation. What would
Mr.. GLADsToNE's distinction have been IL
he had been excluded from Parliamentary
life from the age Of sixty upward, What
would the Senate of the United States be
to-day IL every man over sixty were turned
out of it9
There may be good reasons for rejecting
the nomination Of JAMES ID. PORTER for the
judicial post for which he has been chosen
by the President; but no such rule as this
sixty-year regulation should be invoked
against him or any one else.

When Women VIII Vote.

so far a. the present Constitutional Con
vention is concerned, woman suffrage has
been defeated by the adoption Of the adverse
report of the Suffrage Committee on We'd
nesday; but the advocates OF the innovation
have good reason for encouragement as To
the future, for, OF the votes cast, more than
one-third, or SO out OF 1856, were In their
favor, In the last Constitutional Conven-
tion, in 1867, they had only 10 votes with
them, and the proposition was treated both
by the delegates generally and the great
mass Of the public as q mere exhibition Of
sccentricity OH the part Of few impractica-
BILE individuals.
Really, IL was not until this year, and
short time only before the assembling of the
Constitutional Convention, that any consid-
erable part Of the women Of the State began
70 take enough interest in the question To
form any opinion about it. Feminine senti-
msnt respecting woman suffrage was un-
discoyerable, for practically there was none
outside of the small number Of unrepressRt-
ative feminine agitatOrs. Even women who
had broken through the restraints which
Old-time conventions put upon the enlarge
ment OF the sphere OF their activities gave
little thought TO the subject. They were
too much occupied with their struggle for
social freedom to have time to spend ia con
tending for political privileges The mass
including the most intelligent passed the
subject BY with utter indifference.

The Income Tax In the Canvass.

Harmony there must certainly be in this
years important and decisive election in
New York, il the Democracy is to win.
Undoubtedly it will be necessary for all
New York Democrats Of fighting spirit TO
stand up for their party principles when un-
der assault in order to win a victory in
November.
The very general disposition to smite any
candidate that attempts TO defend the
Democratic surrenders and desertions Of
pledges and principles in Washington will
severely tax the astute leadership and
splendid organization OF Tammany, the
sheet anchor and mainstay Of Democratic
hopes in the Northern States.
Particularly heavy will be the burden Of
defending the odious and un-Democratic in
come tax. Defending it, did we say What
New York Democrat will undertake that
hopeless task
The homely phrase used by JOHN BUNYAN,
"Out OF the frying pan into the hre, would
ntly describe the folly of attempting a do

but all that New York Democrats can do Is
