A certain native discovered the en-.

candle, penetrated down the winding
passage. The air was so foul that he
was soon obliged to retreat, but he
stated that he was just able to see in
the distance ahead the bodies of the
unfortunate peasants, all of whom had
been overcome by what he quantity
described as the evil lighting and bad
climate" Various attempts at the
rescue of the bodies having failed, we
gave orders that this tomb should be
regarded as their sepulcher and that
its mouth should be sealed up. Ac-
cording to the natives, there was evil

A Little Newsnaner

Which is the smallest newspaper In
the British empire? At one time the
distinction belonged to the Echo of the
Mountains, published in little village
high UP in the Australian Alps. This
microscopical weekly was about the
size of a sheet of notepaper. Prob
ably the midget of present day British
Journalism is the ST. Helena Guardian
which is not much larger than a sheet
of foolscap The latest issue to hand
IS gravely concerned with the indo-
lence of the youths. 1t seems they
spend most of their time in idleness
or card-playing. This state of things.
the Guardian declares, is certainly
not bright outlook for st. Helena ;,
But the lonely little island may take
heart of grace from the fact that it is
by no means the only place where
young people loaf and play cards.
