THE FISHERMAN OF TIlEnE- I3URG nom the tviudiuga of lieu Rude, a huge greenstune ruck tiles steer and ragged, pariially overgrown with the pl!tntog Histo, or wild broom, and oreepiii.; plants, nearly. its entire Lige beiug was' ed by the waves of the ele,lr munntatn stream. On its sumtnit, half hidden by moss and wild thorns, are grey ruins of a •castle, of which no trice of its Ids - tory it left to ns a•tvn its name—the T,resebuig. At the trot of this mts• .sive ruck, on the opposite bank of thio Rode, stood nearly two hun- dred years ago, a small cottage, in which dwelt a poor but good aiiior• man, who earned bet a se -fifty s'ib-' eiatence from the fr'nits of bis toil. At that time thousands of strangers did not, as now, visit the sublime rocky valley to enjoy its wild and rocky grandeur, and its trout and merlins, and the poor man, tho')gh naturally of a contented mind, often murmnrod at his poverty. Also the romantic situation of his cottage set isfied him no longer, and when he looked aeroaa the Rude to the mighty rock, and the ruins on its top, all sorts of foolish and ambit, iota thoughts crowded bit mind, These reflections were all the more bitter since there was a tradi- tion in the village last he himself was a descendant of the ancient Rit- ter, who once• ruled iu the Trese- burg. And in fancy he pictnrt:d the old Schloss in its farmer state, throned on the proud rock, with giant round tower, and arched en trance gates, and gothic windows, the battlemeuts covered with sol- diers ie steel harness with sword and lance. Thus be frequently sat hours at a time by his nets, lost in dreams, ever glancing again across to the wild ruins and wishing the long - vanished centuries back again. Once —it was a St. John's I)'ty—he saw a Graumannehen (a dtvarf wood fairy) on the other side of the stream wbo evidently wished to erose, but did not venture to wade through, since the waters had risen in the late thunder storm and there was at that time no bridges. Graumann- chen seemed in great embarrass mens ; this awakened the pity of the the fisherman, and called across that he would come and carry him over the water. He waded over and did as he said. • Graumannehen was tnuch pleased at this kindness, thanked the fisher- man in the warmest terms and said : "Thou art at good, obliging man, and since thou hast fulfilled my wish, I could wish that thou also hadst a wish or two that I might grant." "Ah 1" said the fisherman, "every one has wishes. I have jnat one, but it cannot be realized." "Only ono,"said Gr'aumannchen. I would grant thee willingly two or three But what might be thy wish " "My greatest wish," replied the fisherman, "Is to he set back fivo hundred years, in order that, instead of that heap of ruins across there, the Treseburg might raise its proud battlements and towers." •"Well;' said Graumannehen, "that can easily happen," and he bade him close his eyes for a minute. He did so, and on opening them again gazed around him in wonder, for there opposite on the dark rock stood the Treseburg, that he had so often seen in ruins. Really and truly there it stood, with whits walls, colossal round tower at the entrance, battlements shimmering in the sunlight and squires glitter - in steel with sword and lance. Tho fisherman almost devoured the sing alar picture with his oyes, and in his admiration could not turn away his gaze, till Granmannchen put an end to his puzzlement with the quos- tion :",.."1 -Thy wish ie granted; art thud. satielied r ";the lishnr3ij 1t lueellatod,, for it F#Oomedto, him et ibe roleaue ehet ire alight .read euuther wie.h. At the setae time the immedieto fulfilment of hie wish apleeertld to )rave its shady a .idea, fur the soldiers whp stood oil the walla of the castle grew noisy, and palled duwu�to him with abusive and threatiug words, •auil contwanded hint at uuce to bring up all rhe iish and other articlesuf pro- vision which be had, or hie lust hour was come. Some ovuu, as if iu joke, bout their Cross bows toward him, and one pgiuted ijun bolt lodged in the trunk of an old rotten tree close by him. Finally the fis}i- erinar, replied :-- "Yes, the t'ullillmeut of my wish is delightful, and the Treseburg is a right 'stately. schuss, but I would like, as ray ancestors once ruled there, to he transplanted into the position of my aneesto• who lived there live hundred yews ago, in,ex- aelly the sain0 nl1'Ct erg+a ne,'9 " "Very well,' s,ti,l Greuurouu- chenn ; "also this trish can be grant- ed;" and bade him ag tin to shut his oyes. 1Vhe•n he o;enod +hen! he Bund himself inn spacious 'hall, its wells adorned with armor slid arms. u11d 00 it massive oak table ray ale() ;trills, mails, hrukon, pertly cuvered with fresh blood.

He lay henry 1f, iu R111101', on a bench, but one arm was free from armor, awl he felt a burn- ing pain in it, and to his ter!•ur he observed a fenpinn, wound, a+ from 11,0 blow of !i sword, stretching from the shnl,1r'r to the pillow, ltd the warn) bleed trickled don't.

But hark ! The gates are barat in ! Wo aro hist!" And tiie old man hastened away. The transformed fishermen grew dizzy and felt extremely ancone fortahie. Istat he lied little time fur refloctiuit, fur the tumult grow fun i-ir snrl canto never. The door of t•h, hall y: its broken in with }iesvy blows, and with loud shunts a troop of mon, dripping with blood, rushed iu and threw themselves in rage upou hint, cryitlg : "We have thee at last, thou foul knave 1 thou who has robbed and murdered so 1neuy. At last the }tour of 'retribn'ir,0 ban come." And the leader cried :—"Foston a rope to the etch of the i ates, give him au hour to say his prayers, but -in the deepest, denteon, and then hang frim for a punishmeut and a warning." And strong arrns seized him and threw him in the dungeon on damp straw. 'There he lay, and could not for some time collect his thoughts ; but when he came to his full senses a deep sorrow seized him to see what, he had brought upon himself through his foolish wisb, Now he must die as a criminal, separated from hie wife and children, who would never know what had become of him. "Ah 1" cried he in anguish, "Gran- mannchen I Graumannehen 1 why bast thou done this ? It thou hast granted me, fool that I was, two wishes, so grant me the third, the only one that I have, to return home," and hot tears rolled down his face. But when he had dried his eyes and opened them again, he drew a longbreath,for he lay by the banks of the Rode beside his nets which had filled with Ash ; and of Schloss and Ritter was nothing to be seen—only the ruins as ever. • Graumannchen stood by him, pressed his hand and said with a friendly smile. "Wilt thou be henceforth contented, or hast thou still another wish?" "Nein 1 Nein I cried the fisherman decidedly, "I have not a wish but to remain what I am my life long." For many years he related only to his wife what had happened, but as he grew old he told the history to his sons, that they might learn there- from the same lesson as himself. They laughed to themselves, and held the whole story for a dream, save one brother, who found some- thing very remarkable in it, and when he had a leisure hour he olimb- ed the rock where the Treseburg had stood, observed the direction of the walls and the moat, and removed the moss underhush and thorns. At last he seemed to have found what he sought. One clear moonlight night he mounted with book and shovel to the ruins. There, where once the tower had stood, he measured three time seven paces to the west from the tower, and the same distance from the gate southward. Then he began to dig, and soon Dame to a vault. The following day the villag- ers, who had gone to gather sticks, found a vault broken in, and a half rotten chest open, but empty, and on the ground around lay scattered gold and silver coins with an un. known stamp. a.re & u.,•+cabc.. m...rem.:,n,.:"o..m. ..,rn.s+>-ac±yrons4.m".w,.... a-,.r..n v.v. .E:-:�.-n..-eccam.:•.a.>a n...,,.

For -the e'Auiug de-- livei'auce end return ceIled by the Prophet, the second will be a sub• ject of commemoration as well as the first out of Egypt. In a similar manner the Royal Arch Mason will have to change a part of his degree, as recorded it; Jeremiah til., and 16th. "And it shall come to pass when ye be multiplied and increas ed in the land, in those days earth the Lord, they shall say nu more the Ark of the Covenant of the Lord, neither filial1 it come to wind, neither shall they remember it, neither shall they visit it, neither shall that be done any more ' Every royal brother underetende that when THE ROYAL ARK OF THE COVENANT I8 FOUND a certain degree would be tvithoet ineauing, and the ark will be found and he placed in n nee. temple to be built by the Jews on their next return. The persecution ar-d expulsion of the Jews from Runk has coria once m )re forced the Jewish gees. tion upon the public miud for con- sideration. It seems rather singular that a eouutry of such vast dimen- 510na tie Bei 'sin, one having so notch spare land, should undertake to ex• pel some three millions of its hest citizens ; as citizens, from all I can learn, they have been loyal, sober, and industrious, though restrained in their aspiration+ and restricted in their liberties and limited in the rnethods and means of getting a liv- ing and excessively and partially taxed, they hsvo excelled the Res- siaua in the accumulation of wealth, their aIle/lees and religion, it would appear, aro e.mong the reasons why the Ruasitns late them and with to be rid of them ; bat perhaps the real cause lies further brick and is deeper seated than the facts jest mentioned. Wo frequently say blood is thicker than water, the truth intended to bo oxpressod in such a sayiug may explain in part at ir.aat the irate and antipathy of the Rustiaus towauds the Jews. Some think, and I am inclined into that way of thinking myself, that 'tussle iS ANCIENT BABYLON continued and revived, and the Czar is a lineal representative of the famous Nebuohadne-"zzer• " It is as easy for me to believe that though the Babyloniane were do• nationalized, that they could appear again in an organized and national form in Russia, as that the ten tribes should lose their nationality and coma to view again in organized Britain. Great rivers sometimes disappear for a time and rise again to view, so do races and nations. In centuries gone, we know that the 133by Ionians had no great lova for the Hebrews, neither had the children of Jacob any extra affec- ion for them. If title be so it is easy to account for the antagonistic attitude of Russia and Great Bri• Lain, and for Russian dislike for the Jews. On a similar line of reasoning we can account for the conflict in the past and present bo- tween the Canaanites of the south of Ireland and the Danites of the north. Once on a time long ago their ancestors lived in the land of Janaan and there they became bittor enemies; there they were divided in interests, habits.and re- ligion, and so the same has been handed down. 'There is nothing very strange in the fact that when these races met in Ireland the feud should exist and she division mani- fest itself. We all know in our aelves and through others that some likes and dislikes aro hereditary and cannot be explained by things present. !Without any known reason apparently, we find persona have a dislike to certain kinds of food, colors, animals, race and nations. The Jews arc being ex• pelled under the May laws passed in the year 1882. One of the reasons for such an enactment very probably was, as has been suggested, to coerce the Rothschilds and other Jewish bankers into carrying the money loans and •increasing the credit of Russia. The bankers fail- ed to respond—the expulsion is a species of retaliation, RUSSte. WOULD RAVE GONE TO WAR SOME FIVE YEARS AGO if these bankers would hate furn- ished the money and credit. The present expulsion will not Iead to war, but it will be an im- portant factor in the settlement of the issues of the next European atrugglo.

When I was in Europe 1 was ip- troduoed to a leading French atateeruso with whore I had a three homy' interview. taotltewhat cop fldenlially we iuterehanged ideas about our respective couutries. In keeping with the French character, I found him very courteous and goutlemanly. One of the gaustious I asked hire was, Did ha thiuk Freuce would go to wet• with Ger- many l At oboe he said, Yue ; and submitted several reasons why. I asked hirn, When ; he answered, That is a little uncertain; but he add, We should have attacked Gor• may a year ago, and every day's delay is against us. I then said, Why don't you go ut it? He im- inediately said, %cuuse of the uu• certainty of the attitude that Eng- land will take ; we are afruid she will help Germany in malty ways, especially so in the settliug up of matte's. He said, The uncertainty and sometimes the certaiuty your couutry will take euforees peace in Eerop;t. In that souse Euglaud is a blessing. 1 arts sorry she has not kept in e.oter alliance with France, for 1 thiuk it would have been better all round. I then asked him what cause France would submit for guiug to war, he answered the nausea were Many --some of which could be taken up any (liar.

Of course if we did a0 Ger- twiny wanka refuse them, then we could deelere war. I told my French frit+ud—who, by the w,ly, is a,so a soi"ntilic writer of soma note—that according to a certain theory of iuterprating the prophecies called Auglu Israt'lisrn, Euglend would not take part in the uoxt war; only that when it was over, she world take forma] possession of Palestine and help, and, if neode be, force a settlement of the Jews the -rater the Jews will bo its a terri- ble state after the war, 115 110 00110 - try seems to want them now, posai• lily fewer will want them then.

From the San Francisco Examiner. B. Linuemaun, an engineer re preseuting the Agric'.tltural Depart• 'tient of the Gertnan Government, arrived hero yesterday, after throe years' oxplorationa among the can- nibals of New Guinea. Germany owns, or rather has a protectorate over about half of these islands, while England and other countries control the others. AIr. Linnemann, as the representa- tive of the Home government, ad• judicated claims and visited the in- terior of both New Guinoa,so called, and New Britain, which are govern• od by the English, on exploring ex- ploring expeditions and roughly surveyed the wilderness of New Guinea back from the seacoast. Ile had many thrilling experiences among the savages and had to be on his guard warily on many occasions because of the d Inger that surround- ed him. On one occasion he found himself nearly 100 miles from the ocean in the midst of the tropical forest, while on all sides were bands of wild eavages. He had but one European in his party, the remain• der beiug the semi civilized blacks that frequent the trading posts of the New Guinea Company. Fascinated by his explorations, he scarcely realized he was so far away till the astonished natives swarmed around him, curious to learn where a man with so white a akin came from. "No European had ever before invaded these forests," said Mr. Linnemann at the Occidental last night. "My feet pressed the earth remote from the explorations of the (1auoasian race, It was the native home of the savages. Many of them had never been near the coast, and had scarcely any knowledge of it except by hearsay, consequently their knowledge was very vague. "I was interested beyond measure in their strange castoms, They were naked. Not a thread of any kind do these natives wear. Mon and women alike appear as on the day of their birth. They are largo, stalwart savages, strongly built, and with crispy black hair and oyes. Their akin is scarcely so dark as that of the Samoans or Hawaiians, For indeed they aro of another race.

The wowep, bowover, however have no tudupuee over the mets. A white man can buy a woruau for enough of the ua• rive money to make, say, t'rom two to five pounda. A very pretty wo- men eon tea gots for that, and often for leas. One who is not very pretty can begot for half that, and .tn ugly one for a good deal less. "When a man has bought a woman she is his absolutely, and if she via• lates her faith with bins she is kill- ed and oaten They are very strict abotit that. Tbey will not kill and eat her at or near our trading posts, for years ago we began inflicting se• vere punishment on them for cauui- baliaat, but they will lure hoe away to the woods and then cut ori her her head and cook her up. We never hear of such women again, "When I went iu the iutorior, however, the nativoa were bold,-aud on one occasion 1 name upon a par- ty of natives who had cooked the body of a young woman.

JUST TitY TO FEEL LIKE BROTtIL••li- 1100D'ANn YOU'LL BE HAPPY. I always liked'I'hanksgiviug day. Coning, as it does, at such an ap- propriate season just before the long hard winter, I am in better shape, so to speak, to have a soul filled with gratitude, than I would be along about, say, February, e hon the buckwheat flour is running low and the grocer doesn't wait upon me with the same alacrity that he did when I first opened the account with him early in the season. I once intended giving my patron. ago t0 a certain grocer, I went to him, in perfectly good frith, and, as is usual with me, asked for a little time. He coughotl about thrice in a pecular way, to sort of prepare to for the the worst, and aaid : "Eh—tvel', you see, Mr. Hood, we couldn't do it. Have to draw a lino somewhere, you know." I was mad in a minute. You know how the Hoods are, fly orf the han tly in a jiffy and say things they're likely to be sorry for after• wards. I blurted out iudignantly : "Don't you give me credit for honesty 1" "1'1rh•y certainly, Hood," ho said, "but—sh—•couldn't for anything else, you know." Still that is alien to my subject. Thanksgivings in general, and Thanksgiving dinners in particular, wiil always touch a responsive chord when the button is pressed in my vicinity. We are such good eaters, we Hoods. There are so few things that we don't like. Light meat or dark meat, it's all the same to us. A little of the breast, the neck, a drum stick or the wishbone will do us niceireIhank you, and if they are all gone we can get along beautiful- ly with the gizzard and plenty of gravy and stuffing. I•t is very seldom that you hear a hood say : "I never eat that, thank you," or "None of the so-and- so for me, please." • We are not gormandizers, but what other people eat and like, yea, verily, can we also. And that's ono of the things that Charlee Newton Hood, familiarly, "Nowt" Hood, has to be thankful for to -day ---his appetite, Rising at a moment's notice to Pafe de foi gras, quail on toast and blue points, or happy with stewed grocery -store codfish and boiled potatoes. If I don't particularly like a viand, 1 just Hat a little more to make up. Why, if I could happen along in an African forest upon a pleasant party of cannibals enjoying a Thanksgiving dinner of stalled mis- eionai'y attd contempt therewith, and I was hungry, end they should ask Hie me to ait by and take pot luck with them, it would bo just like me to squat right down on the log nearest the barbecue, and send my order 111 for mere sparerib; ilii often ite ,;itti th , big. chief with tbar tin; xu hip uoae MIX 14. we blatpe the poor llttt))gry osttutbal. for • loving bra fellow than, eysn Ube prefers bilin "Welt done 1" It is right that we should bnt thankful and eat touch .turkey on thanksgiving dao, for yea, that which we do not eat will be warmed over for us ,the rest of the week.

There issome friction between the Swiss federal and the cantonal au- thorities in Fribourg in regard to the preaching of Jesuits in t3at city. The canton of Fribourg is Iargely Catholic, and though there is a federal law against the exercise of priestly functions by Jesuits in Switzerland, it has long been treat- ed as a dead letter, tho authorities of the Catholic cantons permitting the Jesuits practically complete liberty of speech and action. Re- cently the Jesuit Father Weck has been attracting large crowds by his eloquence at Fribourg. The atteu- tiou of the fedora! bureau of justice became attracted, and the old law forbidding such exhortations was called to rho notice of the local au- thoritiee. Weck thereupon pro- dueed a document signed by the chief of the Jesuits, notifying him that he was absolved from his VOWS, He claimed to have loft the order', and tho cantonal anthorities were satisfied with this statement; but the federal officials retorted with a copy of the vows taken by all Jesuits, showing that Weck had hound himself to the order until death, The cantonal government still refuses to act, and the dispute grows warmer and may lead to serious complications.
