There was silence for a moment. Miss

Welsh, "but the truth is we are making

a bed. Some indiscreet persons. taking advantage of his absence to visit his apartments, discovered that he had a pot for cooking his food Where did that cooking utensil come from? Was 1t also a piece of wreckage rolled up upon the sand by the furious waves, or was 1t the last souvenir of civilized life carried away by the anchorite who. While endeavorirg to return to the con ditions of existence that belonged to prehistoric times, could not abandon the habit of cooking his food? That is a question which has never been answer ed; and it is also impossible to find out where he gets the potatoes upon which he lives. Did they come from the dis erect charity of the poor fishermen of the neighborhood, who at the proper time renewed his provisions, or. in sep arating himself from the world did he make arrangements for the transporta- tion of his modest provisions? That fs also a mystery which has never been fathomed. One point, however, is oer- tain, and that is that the hermit deter mined to live upon potatoes alone. One day a sailor offered him half of his din- ner. The hermit pretended to be glad to accept the gift, but. he never touched the food. In the absence of the kind hearted sailor he tossed it into the sea, Apparently he also vowed that he would never enter house and never touch a piece of money. He>kept his resolu- tions. Nothing could ever induce him to cross the threshold of any one of the little houses of the fishermen, who be- gan to have a sort of affection for him, and never once was he known to beg. The only liberality that he would accept and that he solicited from the munif- csnce of strangers was @ match to light the firewood gathered for cooking his potatoes.
 The Rev. J. H. Bernard endeavored ito lift the veil that hid the origin and antecedents of this mysterious person. age The man of the caverns of An- trim endeavors in vain to live the life of savage. It has been recognized by more than one sign that he has received good education. From time to time he reads to the fishermen some passages from the Bible; but he never comments upon them. There Is no evidence going to prove that the man has any particu- lar form of insanity beyond, perhaps, the harmless one of the love of solitude. He is always clean and neat in appear ance and ses ms to be sound and vigor- cent, so that it is impossible to fix the locality from which he came. He sell dom smiles, but he doesn't look sad; on the contrary, he has a resigned and perfectly satisfied look Who he is and why in the world he lives such an extraordinary life nobody can tell. The Rev. J. H. Bernard has been unable to unravel the mystery; but it is a task which he has set for himself, and doubt- less he expects to find at least weird story in the life of the hermit of An trim.

From the Figaro.

 There are portions of the north of Ire land where nature assumes a grand and wild aspect. On the coast of Antrim there is no armistice in the furious baf- tie that, since the first ags of the ter restial globe, was engaged between the waves and the rocks. Columns of basalt, like gigantic sentinels. siand on guard to resist the invasion of the ocean; and the profound excavations mads un- der the granite rocks that protect this

 It is not difficult to imagine that this majestic and desolata site should have se- dliced one of the vanqufshed ones in life, one wilo had absolutely decided to sepa- rate himself from the society of man. The real 11ermits are becoming mcise and mere rare; indeed, it was believed thalt they had completely disappeared; but If a vocation for that singularly aban- doned profession could still be felt by any one, it might be in the presence of the marvellous spectacle of the ssa whose. waves n=ver subside, of those grcl.tos whose pillars and valuts possess a power which the art of the architect can never equal. Mature herse1f seems to have created in those rocks a rsfuge for the shipwrecked, for the prescribed and perhaps also for those who despise the vanfties of life
 About ten years ago a mysterious in- dividual made his homs in the grottos of the coast of Antrim. The approach of any human being seemd to inspire him with an invincible repugnance. As soon as the cavern which he had Se- lected for his refuge was discovered by tha fishermen of the neighborhood he immediately disappeared and took up his quarters twenty or thirty kilometres further on in another retreat which ap- peared more inaccessible. For few morths his domcile was in an old aban- doned mina. the principle gallery of which advanced under the ground to the distance of about five kilometres; but, as the inhabitants of the nearest village had long before carried away the beams that Sul.ained tha vault, to convert them into firewood, the hermit was obliged to quit that dangerous refuge, where he was constantly exposed to the danger of being buried alive. So he installed f1imsslf in a grotto, the access to which was more easily discovered, but it was less obscure, less humid, and less Table to cave in. There he fialttered himself that he would find at least some of the conditions of existence that belonged to rhle men of the cayeTns But it was in vain that he hoped to return to the life of the first ages of prehistoric humanity; he was obliged to pay tribute to the exi- gencies of civilization and to manifest 1sss repugnance for all contact with his fellow beings.
 One day he found an empty barrel that the tempest had tossed upon the shore, and he could not resist the temp tation of bringing it home to serve as

he conceives to be his interest and that of his country, He not only wishes for peace, but is, we conceive, especially disgusted at the idea of war breaking out upon the eastern question, which, however 1t may be solved, can, as Prince Bismarck once observed, offer no temptation to Germany, It is one of the many serious perpleXities of the partition of Turkey that no one has ever yet Yentured to point out the share in the spoil and In the labor which would be acceptable to the German em- plre. The share of every other power, even Italy, could be described almost to square mile; but there is nothing which would suit the German empire, either as colony or dependency or pro- vince. If the Ottoman ceases to reign there is nothing for Berlin, and there fore, says the master of Berlin, let the Ottoman go on reigning. What does it matter, except to his subjects, how he reigns? Germany, if Turkey went to pieces and were quietly distributed, must seek her compensation" on her own frontiers--that Is, either In Den mark, which Is a Russian protectorate, or in Austria, which resigns nothing except under stress of defeat, or in IIol- land, which had rather be anything in the world than a)state of the German
 empire. The war, if it came, would be a great one, yet at its end there would
 be nothing to be gained supposing the
 war successful; wherefore let there be
 no war, even if it is necessary to sink
 the Greek fleet and occupy the Piraeus, That is sound policy from the German
 point of view, even if it Is cynically sell fish, and it is this union of sound and selfish policy with excessive self-con- sciousness and arbitrary will, all dis played with a certain force and felicity of expression, which makes William H. so much more interesting than the ma jority of sovereigns.
