I had suspected the fact some time since, bathyal stubbornly foughtdown the suspicion, though my horseevidently re- alized. With patient endurance he plodded along, resignation plainly expressed in the droop of his tail and ears. In place of the ranch, the hearty welcome, pleasant words, bed, supper, and fire I had expected to reach by sunset, there was nothingd to be seen be- fore behind, on either banbut the dead room, a smaller kitchen, and a shed, where I found a quantity of hay and fodder, seem- ed quite bare of food, but by dint of search- ing in the hay I discovered a nest, which Nelly informed me was there, and in two fresh o These I boiled for her. When she had finished I soothed her to sleep on a bed I made for her before the fire. Then after I had put my horse in the shed room and fed him I performed as well as I could a service for the dead.

Nets Found Among liusslun Nittilists. It is very hard to get any information whatever about the inside operations of Rus- sian nihilism from any of the coujectura] Russian Nihilists in this city, It is very likely that several of thein could give some news about the murder of Gen. Seliverskoff in. Paris, end about the warning which the Czar found on a table in his bedroom, and about the various attempts to take his life that have been made within a short time, and about the arrest of sundry men and wo- men in high life, and about the dread. suspi- cion that fills all theppalaces inhabited by the Czar, It is kilownthee there is constant communication between the Nihilists here and their brethren in Paris, who, in their turn, through secret agents, are kept inform- ed of Nihilist proceedings in St. Petersburg and Meeeow, The Nihilists in Franet), who are constantly watched by emissaries of the Russian police are so stealthy in their move- ments, so cunning in their ways, and so taciturn in their speech, that it is almost lin- possible, oven far a Russian detective to get hien etiglltest hint of any of their operations in advance o f its t t' n c £ 1 exec l lou or anyof their ,e plans of proecedure. Moreover, it has been ascertained that some of theCzar'a emissar. les are Nihilists in disguise, working in the interest of the cause which they are lured to destroy, Nihilists, on the other hand, are faithful to eaa11 other, and cases of treachery among them are almost unknown. Some of them as recent arrests have shown,belong to the nobility, and enjoy the privilege of ad- mission to court choles, The Terrorist party, otherwise known in RuSha as the party of Ltberetion, has been looking for the " removal "of the Czar and the stroke of revolution during the present year, They have leaders who aro ready to grasp the reins of power at any time ; they believe that they will get support, from many men hype are not identified their came ; they hold that their principles Itave hot into the army, so that it will not raise serious trouble ; they feel assured of sup. port from the powerful Jewish element, and they say that the party of liberation can ad. minister public affairs without disturbing the general peace of the country. TheTerroristExecutive Committee, which, until a recentperiod, had exclusive direction of the operations of nihilism, is now aided by outside forces. Time foe s aro organ - ire(' into sections, which, aceortt,,.g to Prince Lavroif, tare twenty-five in number, and maintain their existence in many cities in ('z,•trdom. Each section is allowed to choose its own method of operation and to do such work as lies within its power. One section labors to enlighten a few moujiks ; another sends warnings to obnoxious functionaries; another secretly circulates Nihilist litera- ture ; another takes means of reaching the troops in garrison, and others do other kinds of service. If there is truth in the advices received from foreign parts by Russian Nihilist refu- gees in New York the extensive plan of campaign that has been got up must bear a formidable aspect to the Czrr, who has re. peat edly been inado aware during the present year that his life is constantly endangered, level of the lain. There werepealesinplentyi in fact, the troble 'was there were too many —all narrow and winding, for whose mean- dering there seemed not the slightest excuse, except the general tendency to crookedness most things, animate and inanimate alike possess, But it would have taken the in- stinct of a bloodhound or a trailing Indian to have said which paths had been made by horses' feet or those of cattle, Now that the sun was gone, I found my knowledge of the point of the compass gone with it. As I tat perplexed and worried the gloom of twilight gathered fast and the chill of coming rain smote me through and through, while in the distance there was the roll of thunder. Glaneing up I saw that the masses of cloud had closed together in a cur• tainof gray mist. My horse strode on of his own accord, and hoing that his instin ct would lead us to some house,I lot llnvc his will. Presently it began to rein, a sort of heart -broken passionless weeping, but with a steadydetcrmination to persevere all night, that awoke =Watt Arp2.2.11E 7SIo,*7 in my bosom than any amount of blustering, showery downpour could. have down, This fine, still rain was accompanied by a low, soughing wind that added its desolate note to the general dreariness of the hour. Of a littlerain, course, I did not mind a 1 n, but the prospect of spending the entire night ex- posed to it was anything but agreeable, and I grew really violent in denunciation of the folly which had led me, an utter stranger in the country, to attempt to And anything less than a voleano in active eruption on a bald prairie. The Texans are a fine people, in many re- spects the moat admirable at hosts—but in. dividuahly and eolheetively they lack any appreciation of distauce. This is due, of course, to thenlhaving so much space around them; but to a stranger ignorant of the ex- tent to which the phrases "a little piece auut" and "just outside o' town" can be stretched, this contemptuous regard of miles is a little misleading, But in thefaco of that dreary, monotonous moaning of rain and wind, even my anger at my own folly could not burn long, and though chilled to the bone and tired and hungry I PLODDED OX dully, grateful that no night, even the long- est, could last forever. It was now quite dark, and very dark at that, though at abort intervals close to the horizon a faint gleam of lightning showed, too distant to cast brightness on my path and only sufficient to intensify the blackness about Hie. All at once I saw a man walking aboutfif- teen feet in front of me. Yes, I know I said it was intensely dark, but all the same, I re- peat it, I saw a man walking in front of mo, and furthermore I could see that ho was a largo man, dressed in rough, but well -fitting clothes; that lie wore a heavy red beard, and that he looked back at me from time to time with an expression of keen anxiety on his otherwise rather fixed features. Hallo 1" I cried, but as he did not halt I concluded he did not hear me. As a second hail produced no result I spurred my weary horse up to overtake the stranger. But, though the gray responded with an alacrity most commendable under the circumstances, I soon found that this strange pedestrian did not intend to let mo catchup with him. Not that hohurried himself. Ho seemed without any exertion to keep a good fifteen feet be- tween us. Then I began to wonder how, with the intense darkness shutting me in as four black walls, I was yet able to sec my strange companion so clearly, to take in the details of his dress, and even the expression of his face, and that at a distance more than twice my horse's length when I could hardly see his head before me. I am not given to superstitions fancies, and my only feeling was of curiosity. We went on in silence for nearly half an hour, when, as suddenly as he had appeared, he was gone. I looked around for him, half afraid, from his instant and complete disap- pearance, that I had been dreaming, when I perceived that I was close to a small, low building of some sort. I reined in and shouted several times, but not the slighest response could I hear, and .tt last The dead man's name was Frederick Barn- staple. He was an Englishman, so I found, a recent arrival in those parts, His daugh- ter was restored to her family across the water, and is now a pretty girl of 17. I have never told this story before, but I am ready to take an affidavit to its truth. It all happened about thirty miles from Dallas. More Cannibalism in the South Seas, A terrible case of murder and cannibalism is just reported from the New Hebrides, the victims being two Europeans, a father and son, named De Latour. Mr. George de La- tour and his son resided on the island of Aore, cultivating maize &c. In the early part of the present year one of the tribe made a raid on the Latours' property and subsequently her Majesty's ship Royalist visited the place, when the chief oftheplace was captured. It was then found that this same chief was wanted in connection with the massacre of a boat's crew belonging to a French vessel, and the commander of he Royalist handed him over to the French nav- al authorities, who tried, convicted, and sent him to New Caledonia. It was thought that the massacre of De Latour and his son was committed by the tribe in revenge for the part the victims took in getting their chief punished. After killing the two vic- tims, the natives made a feast, and ate the body of one of the unfortunate men. Courtship, Hearts cannot always be taken by storm. Wooing may be too hasty and precipitate, as well as too slow. A man who offers him- self to woman before he has madesureof her affections is very liable to receive " No" for an answer, when, with a little delay and as- sidity <combined, he might have made it " Yes." There is an instinctive pride in woman which makes her rebel against the idea of being too quickly and too easily won. The wild bird woos his mate with long and mellifluous song ; and woman feels it her right to exact Homage before marriage. The Novae Vremya, of St. Petersburg, after making some sarcastic remarks regard- ing England's interference on behalf of the expelled Jews, proposes that the Russian Government plant colonies of industrious Irish in South-West aiberia anidgive Eng. land two Jews in return for each Irish colon- ist. The London Economist,: usually a shrewd political observer, has an article in the last number which tries to forecast the course of the English Liberal party under the present trying circumstances. It foresees the reten- tion by Parnell of about half his present fol- lowing in the House of Commons, increased diffculty on Mr. Gladstone's part, however,. of securing the support of the two Irish fac- tions in divisions on any subject, or in l;ego- tiating with them, and increasing impel.'ence among Liberals of all shades of op nion under the Home Rule burden. But it also foresees, should Mr. Gladstone decide to con- tinue in public life, a great recrudescence of radical humanitarian feeling, and of interest in schemes for the improvement of the con- dition of the working classes, which might be used to save the Liberal party from great disaster though it probably would not save. it from defeat at the coming. elections._ :To sum up, it predicts a "postponement" of Home Rule by the Liberal leaders and re- liance for the present on attempts to do something for the poor. But it anticipates a continuance of the pi•eve t, Ministry in " office in the next Parliane i t. The house, which consisted "of the large A Russian Brigand's Career. Kroukowski, the Russian " Fra Diavolo," who has just been convicted at Loutsk, was ill some degree a boulevardier and ten years ago ran the rig of a spendthrift, Crcesus. In his youth he was often taken to Paris, and received part of his education in a school in the Rue de Courcelles. His parents belonged to the circle of the pito Prince Demfdoff and when Kroukowski ran through his fortune in Perla and at the gay winter resorts of the South of France, he determined to organise a gang of bandits to terrorise and plunder the province of Volhyufa. 'Regret recruits were his menservants, whoperhaps were slavishly obedient to him, and from habits of doeility allowed him to enrol then! in a gang having robbery for its object. Peasants were then constrained to accept it's leadership. He conceived the scheme as e. boy in reading Sc;)iller's "Die Fauber" " Social Justice ' was, on their banner, and they pillagedthecountry h ofthe h co r Doses b yn y nobles, letting the villages alone, Kroukow- ski hada genius for disguising himself. It often enabled him, when hemmed in by troops, to escape through them, When Russia was made too hot for him, he got away to Galicia, to begin afresh. Ho was there closely -pursued. One daylie was on the point or being taken. He was in a Russian oflieer's uniform, and the idea struck him of going to call on the Austrian office who was pursuing him. As the order- ly was taking up his card he jumped on a saddled horse, and -galloped oil: He was once offered by the father of a fair priseucr a large fortune if be would marry her and reform, but having a passion for a village girl he refused. It was at a rendezvous with this girl that the was taken, afterfigiit- ing like a tiger. As he had never killed anyone, a capital sentence was not passed, but the prisoner was candemned to penal servitude for life in Sileria. I RODE BOLDLY IIP and tapped on the wall with the butt of my ridingwhip. Then, as this elicited no sign of life, I concluded that I had stumbled on some deserted house, or that it was the abode of my eccentric friend ; so, dismounting and tying the gray, I resolved to spend the rest of the night under a roof or to find some good reason for continuing my journey. I felt my way along the wall till I reached a door, and, trying this and finding that it yielded to me, I stepped inside, striking a match as I did so. Fortunately, I carried my matches in au air -tight case, and as it was dry the one I struck gave me a light at once. 1' found myself in a large room close to a fireplace, over which a rude shelf was placed, and on this mantel I saw an oil lamp, to which I applied my match. On the hearth was heaped a quantity of ashes and over these crouched a child, a lit- tle girl of 5 or 6. At the other end of the room which was plainly and scantily furnish- ed, lay a man across a bed, and as I raised the lamp I saw that he was the same I had been following, but there was something in his attitude and face that struck me as peculiar, and I was about to go forward and look at him, when the child who had at first seemed dazed at the light fairly threw her. self upon me. Have you anything for Nelly to eat ?" she said, and then : .t Oh, Nelly so hun- gry 1" I ran my hand into.my pocket and drew forth what had been a paper bag of chocolate candy, but' was now a pulpy unappetizing mass. I must confess to a childish fondness for sweets, which I usually •carry in some form about me. I handed the remains of' my day's supply to the child, and then walk- ed over to the bed. Yes, it was the same man, red beard, rough clothes, but setting off the magnificent frame to perfection ; the same man, but dead, long dead. I, took his band only to find it stiff and cold, while his face had the dull gray aspect never' seen in the newly dead. As I stood gazing down on him a little band touched mine. " Nelly so hungry 1" said the child. " Have you eaten all the candy ?" I asked her. " Yes, yes 1 But me hungry, for me had no dinner, no brekkus, no supper, and papa 'on't etui. The Mistletoe, The legend of the mistletoe is an inlierit- ttnce from the religion of the druids. The cathedral arches under which the Celts wor- shipped were the spreading branches of the oak,tho roof a dense foliage of greenery, and the mystlotoe, the mystical parasite of the tree' was n symbol full of meaning, for it was believed to renew its lifeby some agency dif- fering from that which propagated all other plants, and to oxistby a divine power, says a, writer in Harper's Weekly. Here, under the oak, the favorite tree of the Celtic sun- god, at the period of the winter solstice, priests and people sacrificed white bulls and human victims. The mistletoe was gathered and dispensed in small sprays, to be hung by the worship- pers over their doors as amulets against evil and propitiation to the sylvan deities. Tho Scandinavian legend of the mistletoe, which tolls the story how Loki, the god of fire, inado the mistletoe the agent of the death of Balder, most glorious of Odin's ohildren, is familiar to all students of the Norse sagaos. Tho mistletoe continues to bo specially cultivated in England for the sale which is always large at Christmas -tido, bet the apple tree has taken the place of the oalr, as the soil on which the ant feeds the most generously. Thekissmg privilege connected with the mistletoe during the days of yule is probably the mostfamiliarrelic of its traditions. Both the yule fire and the mistletoe were of old believed to have special virtue as safeguards against the powers of evil ; yet when they became thoroughly embodied in the Christ- ian legend, it was not so much this as their suggestion of the divine power which at Christmas kept the prince of darkness and bis satellites in abject submission, that gave them their value. All readers of Shakespeare will remember the legend and its association with the crowing of the cock, as put in the mouth of Marceline in " Hamlet" : "It faded on the crowing of the cock, Some say that oven 'gainst that season comes Wherein our Saviours birth is celebrated, Tho bird of dawning singeth all night long ; And then, they say, no spirit dares stir abroad; The nights ate wholesome ; then no planets strike, No fairy takes, nor witch hath power to charm. So hallow'd and gracious is the time," C,V`a:C\\\\Zti<\4'\�iL�\��\„��.\\\v.\`.\.s..\\��i.c.�..�'.\ WA, for Infants and Children.

January is named from Janus, the god of doors and gates, because the month opens the year ; some say that he is a two-faced god and could lock back on the lastyear and forward to the doming. February is from Februo, to purify. March was originally the first month and was named for Mars, the god of war. April is from aperire, to open, because the buds open in that month. May is Main, agoddess. June is from Juno, the patron of marriage, and is, therefore, the favorite month for weddings. July was named for Julius Cxsar, and August for Augustus Ceesar. Originally August bad but thirty days and February twenty-nine in the common year and thirty in leap year. Augustus was jealous that Julius' month should have more days than his own, there- fore took one from February and added it to August. September, October, November, Decem- ber, are so called because they were orig- inally the seventh, eighth, ninth and tenth months of the year. The names are now inappropriate and rank misnomers as now applied. Joseph Donoghue, of Newburg, N. Y., the champion skater of the world, has won the mile and three-mile skating races at Amsterdam, covering the mile in 3 minutes 9 4-5 sec. and the three mites in 9 mins. 17 sec., beating the record by ten seconds. The following advertisement appeared re- cently in a Parisian newspaper : A lady having a pet dog whose hair is of rich maho- gany color desires to engage afootman with whiskers to match. Eighteen hundred and eighty-nine was a year of disasters. Eighteen hundred and ninety will probably be remembered in Can- ada, at least, as hangman's year.' Since January eight men have expiated the crime of : murder on the scaffold. These were Smith atLondon, Davis at Belleville, Dubois at Quebec, Spencer at Kamloops, Birchall at Woodstock, Day at Welland, and Blanchard and Lamontagne at Sherbrooke. The re- cord is a sad one enough. It is to bo re- membered, though, that it comes after what might be called an epidemic of murderous crimes, to which the attention of the whole country had been attracted. It is to be trusted that it will be long before it sees such another year of such crime and its pun- ishment.
