Perpetual Ice in Virrfnin.

1t was not long ago reported that a
natural icehouse on a grand scale had
been discovered under singular cir
cumstances on the north side Of Stone
Mountain, six miles from the mouth
OF Stony Creek, in Scott County, Viz
glnia. AS the story goes, it appears
that one of the cid settlers first dis
covered it about 1880, but owing to
the act that the land on which it was
situated could not be bought he refus-
ed to tell it's whereabouts and would
only take Ice from it in case of sick
ness. He died without revealing the
secret to even his OWL family, and but
for a party of seng diggers enterin:
the region 1t might have remained q
secret for generations, as it is situated
IN an u~nfrequented pat of the noun
tain. The ice was only protected from
the rays OF the sun by a thick growth
OF moss, resembling hat seen dangling
from the oaks Of Louisiana and Texas.
Its formation was after the fashion Of
4 coal vein, being a few inches thick
IN some places while several feet in
others. The formation indicates that
1t had been spread over the surface in
a liquid state and then CONCEALED. By
What process it freezes or was frozen
is a matter Of conjecture. Some think
that 1t was formed in the winter and
had been protected since by a dense
growth of los which covers it, while
the more plausible theory is, that be-

have established an intimate connec-

exit or entrance Of certain stars into
tho divisions of the great belt Of the
Ecllptic, known as the Zodiac. These
signs are from the earliest ages and
had a peculiar influence upon mundane
affairs and were considered by the
anclents almost sacred in character.
Certain seasons Of the year became
fixed in their miEds by the recurrence
OF events which were certain to return
in conjunction with each other. Thus,
the phenomena associated with the
spring signs Aries, the Rain, Taurus,
the Bull, and Gemini, the twins, are
supposed to mark the budding Of ply

the same way the heat of the summer.

ing than the future. Such a time
came when Master Dick was sent to
college and came to pay his aunt a
farewell visit, and, since he had lost
his mother some years before, to be
properly fitted out by her womanly
hands. There were shirts to make
and ties to be bought, handkerchiefs
to hem and mark and a thousand
buttons to see to. Estelle worked
diligently, and her dainty French
needlework was a perfect marvel. She
marked all his clothes and beauti-
fully.
"She sat in "madalne's" room and
stitched and Betsy Baker looked at
her malevolently, when she brought
up the linen from the wash; for Miss
Ash praised the girls work, and had
spoken in the kitchen of her 'beauti-

In these days. believing too little is
;he general stumbling block, and
many people deny almost everything
that 4 be mentioned, and are en-
tremely proud of having faith in
nothing: But Miss Ash reversed this
state Of things. From the hour OF
her rising to that of her retiring, the
most alarming things we're constantly
occurring. The salt was spilled,
there were awful cracks in the look
Eyeglasses, and she picked up crooked
pins. The bread and cake came cleft
out OF the oven, and the old servant
heard steps on the stairs when no one
assembled them. The street door bell
rang without hands-at least no one
saw anyone outside when the door
was answered.

She did a great deal for the poor; was
kind to her old servant; and had
taken in, out of charity, a poor young
French girl, whose father had died
upon the passage to America, and
who might have died herself, per-
haps, but for the pity Miss Ash had
upon her.
She loved her nephew Dick, too;
gave him many a present and kept
his pockets we'll filed with small
change. She instructed him in the
art of table-tipping, in which, having
vcn less veneration than most lads
Of Is, he soon became an adept, and
SO great a medium that he could offer
his aunt communications in the form
of cracks, snaps, tips or writing, from
all the celebrated personages men
toned in history.
AS for the French girl, Estelle Noir,
she was superstitious too in her own
way, but it was a fearful way, which
made her shrink from peering into
futurity.
Meanwhile Betsy Baker laughed in
her sleeve at the whole of 1t-table-
tipping and all; and racked her brains
for some pretext by which she could
turn her mistress love and kindness

believed, stepped into her place, and
might perhaps, deprive her of her
