That it had been actual worship, ap- pears from the "Wisdom of " in whioh the practice is retwohated "Thep worshipped serpents void of reason."- It might be More "proper to say it was repressed than , suppressed ; for it cropped up among the .sathe peo- ple. again in the Christian Sects of .0p- - bites, Nicolaitans, and Gnostics. The Ophiteit accerding to Tertullian, "even preferred the Serpent to Christ."' They' kept a living serpent in a chest, as, or to represent; the God ; and had peculi- ar views of the Eucharist, and of a "perfect saceirice," that . iniaht not: be nninteresting, did space permit us explain them. The serpeht was hon- oured; peehapaworshipped, in Tyre from an Aly period down to the time: of Alexander. According to Sir. Hen- ry Rawlinson, -Rea or Hoa, the third person in the Babylonian Trinity, may he considered' as the serpent deity. In .Assyria the tree, in the form of the grove, (Asherah); was commonly wor- shipped. The • evidence is overwhelm- ing that the worship both of the trite aud the serpent prevailed in Greece. To keep clear of the Myths we find that in Epida,urus there was the temple of atEsculapius, and the grove attached to it, inj-whieh serpents -w.e kept and fed down to the time of Pa,usanias.

Theyhad the eilfus in Rerne, but whether it was indigenous may be a question : the animal ceremo ities at Lanuviiim would indicate - that it was indigenous. They also indicate a phallic 'connection. There was tree worship, but apparently no seipent wor- iia Germy ; both prevailed in Sarmatia. The Saraogitae, the Poles, the peasantry of Estherlia, and it would appear, 'the Prussians, had both. —C orn:. Death Valley. -. This is the name. given to . a valley about eight miles from 'Camp Cady, on the -Mohave River, in , Cat afornia.. It received its name from a tragedy Which i occurred her in 1859. The valley is lower thau the level of the sea, and ,wholly destitute of water. It is. some fifty milee long and thirty in breadth, and, save Itt two _points, it is wholly en- ) encircled with Mountains, up whose / eteep sidss it is imeossible for any hut ( -/ ' expert cligebere to ascend.
