Chartreuse since the Carthusians were
driven across the frontier into Spain.
The fact is, the country is not only
flooded with an imitation liQueur under the
famous name, but the monks themselves
are unable to keep up the quality of the
genuine article, owing to the inferior
quality of Spanish brandy: The French
brandy, formerly used by the monks. was
the finest in the world.

ICE BOUND STONINGTON.

Impressive Polar Pictures Around the
Granite Isle.
The ice pictures in and about Stoning-
ton are the most wonderful arctic crea-
lions of the century in that section and
the oldest inhabita mt of that island of
longevity fails to recall any thing like it.
All a long over the harbor from Camp
Island to Isle all Haut, distance of
about six miles, it is frozen. Speaking
OF 1T correspondent says in an ex-
change:
We passed Peggie's Island where
Capt. Scott has a large piggery and
duckery. Boys were going upon the
ice and to the very door of the duck
house, and from where we stood we
could see girls going off towards Mark
Island, three miles from the mainland,
with their cameras, all eager to get the
best views of the newly formed terri
tory. This time we struck out for
Crotch Island by Two Bush, directly
over the deepest part of the channel,
and on, on, over the vast sheet of ice,
stopping often to examine the huge
bouldeTs thrown onto the shore.
Here the huge cakes had broken apart,
while the heavy southwest wind which
was blowing in from the ocean caused
a tremendous undertow which seemed
to move the ice cakes, although the
water did not touch them, upon the
shore. Then would be heard the most
dismal sounds; first like the shrieking of
hundreds of insane demons, then whist
ling, then grinding like the creaking of
a vesSeps ShrOuds in storm, then dying
away as the undertow receded, leaving
a low moaning sound like that of dis
tant thunder, then mingling with the
heavy roll outside the islands, returning
about every forty seconds.
We paused beside huge boulder
about twelve feet square, all covered
with ice, just in shape Of a sugar loaf
AS the tide came in it would rise and
cant to one side,' then roll back like a
great animal. 1t seemed to rise about
foot. We stood near enough to place
our hand on the boulder as it rose and
fell. As connection by steamer from
Boston is done We now have only
steamer MOnhegan from Portland, and
Mineola from Rockland.' So about
1880 the MOnhegan' is seen coming in
the harbof, slowly cutting Her way
up. She does her best under command
of one of the most efficient captains,
but after passing Crotch Island about
