their verses to the judgment of their coun-
trymen assembled at the great annual fair
which served as the Olympia of their race.
The protagonists of tho rival tribes were
carefully masked, lest winged words should
be followed by q different kind of arrow,
and their poems were impartially recited

Yeldham, a highly civilized village In
the county Of Essex, Is now in happy
and contented franc of mind. 1t has
buried the last Of tho witches-the end of
tho long line Of sibyls which commenced
at Endor. Why tho poor old lady should
have been regarded ns tho possessor of an
"evil eye" is mystery known only to her
superstitious fellow villagers, except in.
deed 1t was owing to tho sorrows and mis-.
fortunes she suffered. Her daughter died
few days ago. and her brother was acci.
dentally killed some hours aftcrward.
These calamities, instead of arousinR
sympathy, only led to belief by the vii.
layers that she cast her evil eye on them
because, knowing her own departure was
ut hand, she did not wish to leave them
behind. The poor old woman had hard
life among tho villagers, who boycotted
and insulted her on account Of her alleged
supernatural gifts, and attributed every
petty accident that occurred in the locali.
ty to her malign influence. Now she Is at
rest-London Telegraph.
