SOME FREAK RIVERS.

One of the most curious rivers that the Webbe Shebeyil, of Eastern Africa, a deep and rapid stream abounding in strange fish and ferocious crocodiles. Although it flows for hundreds of miles through fertile lands, the immense vol ume of water never reaches the sea. A short distance north of the equator the river is lost in a desert region few miles from the Indian ocean.
 Travellers report that in Algeria there exists a small stream which the chem- istry of nature has turned into ink. It Is formed by the union of two rivulets, one of which is very strongly impreg- mated with iron, while the other, mean dering through a peat marsh, imbibes large quantities of gallic acid. Letters have been written with the natural compound of iron and gallic which forms the small yet wonderful stream. The Rio de Vinogre, in Colombia is ! stream the waters of which, by admix- ture with sulphuric acid, become 50 sour that the river has been appro- priately named the Rio de Vinogre, or Vinegar river.

 which separate Natal from the Orans> Free State. The length of the stream is LOCO miles. Its banks abound in va rious vaulable woods and around it are found rich copper ores. In this stream are found many varieties of fish, which are found until the river passes through
 a rocky region containing copper, be-
 low which the water is said to be poi sonous, almost instantly fatal to fish.

 For five generations they have lived there passing through an existence of absolute simplicity, asking nothing from the outside world except to be per mitted to live as they choose. They are not easy to approach on the contrary they are shy, diffident and reticent, but once the barrier of their reserve is broken. they are a kind, warm hearted, generous. hospitable people.

Story OF the Civil War.

During the war between che States,
in a little town in the State of A
dwelt two families who were neighbours.
So care full were they in their expires
sions of sympathy for either cause,
both were in ignorance of the other's
sentiments. Their intimacy as old
residents caused them to con6de in
each other a purpose they had in view
to bury what specie and jewels each
possessed to save it from the hand of
%marauders Of either army. The treas
ure, consisting mostly Of specie, was
carefully packed in boxes and buried
in their orchards some distance from
their residences. The wives of the
two families doing the wcrk at night.
The two only were supposed to know
the secret.
First one army and then the other
passed, when toward the close of the
war the town was occupied and garri-
soned by o force of Union soldiers.
BY this time the cause of the South
had begun to wane and the most ar
dent adherents Of the South felt
gloomy over the outlook. BY this
time the true sentiments Of each fami-
ly for the successive parties, had be-
come fully manifest. One for the
Southern and the other for the Union
cause. Their confidence in their mu-
tual honor, up to the occupation Of
the town by Union troops was not
shaken. Some weeks after the oocu-
patton the wife Of the Southern SYM
pathizer discovered that her box Of
treasures had been removed. When
she remembered that she and her
neighbor only knew where it was, she
naturally concluded she had been be.
trayed by her.
To further test the matter she vent
by night to the spot where her neigh
boris box had been buried, and With
the aid of an iron rod ascertained that
her box was still where it was buried.
AS human nature is about the same
everywhere, she began to plan for re.
venge. The union lady had az her
boarders several Of the Union officers.
The lady Of Southern sympathies had
made the acquaintance Of some Of
these soldiers who sought her house
frequently to buy eggs, milk and 9th.
er necessaries. One of these had Of.
ten expressed his sympathies for the
South and Southern people, although
