A VISIT FROM THE DEVIL.
How His Satanic Majesty Once Made His
 Appearance In Bungay.


 Appearance In Bungay.
 A rare pamphlet in the library of the editor of department of The Repub- lie bears the following quaint title: "A Strange and Terrible Wunder Bought Verie Lately In the Parish Church of Bungay-namely, on the fourth of thys August ill the Y eere of our Lorde l 1577. ]" The story, stripped of the quaint lan- guage ill which it is couched, and brief ly told, is as follows: A storm of ex- traordinary fury ragged during divine services i'll the church alluded to; vain fell in torrents, and the lightning fash ed ''blue, red, green and in mixture of indeseribable colors, J while the thunder peals "not only disquieted men and dumb creatures, but senseless things devoid of all life and feeling trembled and shook with terror. "
 While the tempest was at it's height, fiend from the lower regions appeared in the midst of the terror stricken con- gregation. The account says: 'It was in form, as well as could be discerned, of an enormous dog, of black color the sight whereof, together with the fearful flashes of fire which then were seen, moved many minds to the belief that the end of time had come and that doomsday was upon us. The evil one, for he it was in such strange likeness, ran with extraordinary speed into that portion of the church where tho major ity of the congregation was seated. In doing so it passed between two persons who were upon their knees ill the atti- tude of prayer, grasped and wrung the necks of both in an instant, so that they died presently as they knelt. As he pass ed by another he gave him such a grip on the back that he was drawn together and instantly shrunken up like piece of leather scorched in a hot fire.
 Leaving the church at Bungay, the devil is said to have flown with a greate noise and rustling" to the church at Blibery, seven miles away. He was seen to alight upon the roof and to instantly pass through it, dropping from the vaulted ceiling upon the heads of three persons 1.-two men and boy0 who were all instantly killed, "beying scratched bye the horyd thing and burn ed to nearlie cracklyng "
 The Book of Wonderous Visita- tions, !" published in 1887, 110 years after the events mentioned above, says that the prints of the devils claws where he ran down the aisle of the Bun- gay church were then still plainly to be seen. St. Louis Republic.

Curious Facts.

The medical statistics of this country have been studied by Dr. John T. Bill lings from the racial standpoint. He de- duoes many curious facts: The infan- tile death rate among the blacks is very high; the race itself is shorter lived than the white; it is less liable than the white to malaria, yellow fever and can cer, but suceumbs more readily to tu- beroulosis and pneumonia. Irish ohil- dren survive infantile diseases, but the adult death rate is high; tuberculosis, pneumonia and alcoholism cut them down. Germans are especially liable to digestive disorders and cancer. Jews have low death rate; they live long; their diseases are diabetes, loeomotor ataxia and kindred nervous ailments - Zion's Herald, Boston

Few ForInaIities at a Wedding In Chi
 cago Police Court.
 Quite an amusing episode occurred in Justice Lyons court recently in the midst of q trial for assault and battery, when q young couple rushed breathless- ly into the room and informed his honor that they wanted to be joined in the holy bonds of wedloek as quickly as possible
 In one hand the prospective groom carried marriage license, which con- tained the names of August Rohner and Marie Soss The assault and battery trial came to halt, and Justice Lyon glanced over the certificate by which two beings were permitted to call them- selves one.
 Hurry cop, ohudge, said the about to bo bride nervously as she shifted from one foot to another and glanced appre- hensively at the door,
 But why are you in such haste?" asked "Justice Davy. ''
 "It must be now or never, answered the bride, land we want now.
 All right, " said the court; 1T guess I can accommodate you, and he re- paired to mirror in tho rear of the courtroom, carefully arranged his SIS tie, thought of the immortal Davy, Jr., on tho South Side, parted his hair in the middle, took an extra reef in his immaculate Prince Albert and called the couple to the front.
 If there is one thing Justice Lyon is perfect ill, it is in the art of tying nup- tial knots, and he was at his best.
 Have you ring?" he asked.
 Nein, " answered the lesser half.
 aOne will do, " said the court.
 tNein, nein, or none, :" broke in the bride.
 "Oh, all rightl" answered the court whilo his face took on deep scarlet hue, and he proceeded with the cere- mony. The couple alternately looked at him and at tho door, and after it was all over, and they stood together with arms twisted together, fearful racket sounded on the stairs, and a little old man, with glare in his eye, burst breathlessly into the room. The new Mr and Mrs. laughed at him, and swearing vo1ubly in German the little old man gave the door cruel kieX, passed out again, the bridal couple fol- lowing. Justice Davy poked beauti- ful bill in his purse, and the assault oaso went Chicago Dispatch.

Metal RaiIroad Ties.

A protest against tho denudation oG forests ill order to secure material for railroad ties is made in a report issued by the agricultural department at Wash ington on the use of metal railroad ties and preservative processes and metal tic plates for wooden tics. It shows that about 20 per cent of the railroad mile age of the world, outside of the United States and Canada, is laid on metal. In the United States little practical prog ress ill metal ties is reported. The pro portion of track laid with metal ties to the total length of railways throughout the world has increased from z per cent in 1890 to 10 per cent in 1894. Rail. way Review

The Large Flying Squirrel.

The large red flying squirrel is inter. esting, but not beautiful. It is wholly nocturnal, and, like most nocturnal an- imals, is extremely surly and spiteful if disturbed i'll the daytime. It is as large as cat with face like rabbits It's eoloring is extremely brilliant for 8 mammal, and in general appearance it resembles some curious monster i'll 8 Chinese painting. The fur is rich and deep chestnut on it's back, light chest nut below, it's head white and it's eye a dull pale gray.
 The wide parachute membrane be- tween its legs is covered with fur. and its tail is long, thiokly furred and round. This squirrel does not "fy" in the proper sense of the word, but i'll the forests it's parachute membrane answers its purpose almost equally as we'll as wings. It runs with wonderful agil- ity up the trunk of the tree and to the end of branch, and then takes a flying leap, with its limbs extended to the ut most and the wide flesh membrane stretched.
 This "aerial slide" carries it forward and downward to a horizontal distance of perhaps 40 or 90 yards, and it is no- ticed that, as in the caso of birds wheA making use of their powers of descent with fixed pinions. the squirrel throws itself upward and asoends slightly at the close of the flight, ]" perching on tho bough it aims at with all the light ness of a pigeon descending from tow CT, to some point upon tho roof below. -Snncfatnr

What Esau Hunted.

About noon we saw beast stand ing on mountain top looking down at us. When we saw it, wo thought that it was a camel, but Calinus said that the beast was a rhinoceros or unicorn. It hath horn set ill the midst of it's forehead feet long, and whatsoever it batts at it runs him through and pounds him against the rocks. It is said by writers on natural history that they place young virgin in his way, where at he puts away from him all his fierce ness and lays down his head and is held thus entraneed until he be taken and slain.
 Thus wrote that delightfully."- naive observer, Father Felix Fabri. who visit cd Sinai 400 years ago Modern pill grims who have followed in his foot steps with their eyes open will at once recognize that the animal he saw was the bedan, or Sinaitic ibex, which gazes down on passing caravans from the cliffs which tower above their route. He is seldom visible to them unless his shapely figure happens to be silhouetted on the sky line. This wild goat inhabits the mountains on either side of the Rod sea and the steep gullies of Moab and is the only representative of tho deer or goat tribes in these regions Esau doubtless hunted it, and those few sportsmen who have followed his ex- ample will not be surprised that the un- certainties of the chase cost him his birthright.

 All is forgotten of sorrow and woe. Nothing feel but peace, infinite rest. Hold me, beloved. thus, tenderly-so. Aglew with the love that forever is thine, lift my cheek to thy willing earess.

Deductlng this from total assets
leaves a balance of but $l79,69O. Mr.,
Nipple says: at is safe to say that in
estimating assessment of 1895 the re-
turns will be much less than the amount
Returned this year, which was in round
numbers S128,OOO,OOO." The limit Of 2
mill levy would raise net over s25O,OCO.
Ii must be remembered that OF the
$l'9,69o mentioned above as available
assets vuite an amount will not be col.
lected and turned over until after 1896.
hence, as the constitution will not allow
any more debt to be incurred, the abso-
Lutte necessity for the use of the pruning
knife appears. In his conclusion Mr..
Nipple says: 1T is therefore evident
that a levy of 2mills will not meet the
demands OF the absolutely necessary ex-
penses Of the state"
