M. Maxime DaCamp iinov Dubliahlnr in ths Rente det Deux Monde the most notable papers on the Common of 1871 that have ret appeared. The author devotes himself to only one division of the nbiect the prisons of Paris under the Ked Administration; and though be has not yet described the assassination of Archbishop Darhoy and the other hostages, his stud is sufficiently interesting to a merit reproduction in, of necessity, a most abridged form especially in view -of the fact that within the last few days the doctrines of the Commune hava been preached in this city, and seem to have founi advorateseven among men who might be supported to have some sense.

M. ba Camp's history extends orer a brief, but pregnant, period of sixty-seven days, or from March 18 to May 24, 1871. On the lfttb a Federal battalion took possession of the Prefecture of Police and the Depot, and on the 19th General Duval, a foundrywan, was named military delegate, one Jolhvet being associated with him. M. Core, the Director of the-Deiiot, refused to admit the Federals sent to take charge, and went to discuss the matter with Jollivet, whom he found too drunk to seak.

Duval agreed to consult his associate, and when Core returned in an hour they had both been swept out, and Kaoul Rigault reigned. "You are removed," said Kigault. "I can not without an order from the Ministry of the Interior." "We shall simplify all the-e formalities," said Kigault, hurriedly scrawling a line on a sheet of paper, and in a few moments M. Core was locked up in one of his own cells and the depot was placed under the management of one Garreau, a journeyman locksmith of twenty-four, ac-. quainted with the prisons of Paris from having repeatedly served short terms therein.

Kigault, however, removed the Federals, and left the keeiiers and clerks unchanged, a for tunate circumstance for the prisoners, for M. Core from' his cell was thus able to exercise considerable influence. Bonjean, Chief Justice of of Cassation, was the first hostage taken in, being arrested March 21st, just after adjournment of the Court. He was a lively and clever little man of sixty-six, with tact and nerve. It was because the prison staff stuck to their posts that so many prisoners got off; it was owing to his advice that the prison staff remained at work.

The employes feared that if they so remained they would be regarded as participating in the deeds of the Commune, but Bonjean sent a note secretly to Versailles explaining the matter, and secret erders were returned to ail prison officials to stand to their posts. Once be could have escaped, when Rigault sent an order written on the fourth page of a letter, "Set the two prLsonexs mentioned on the other side of the leaf at liberty," there being writing on the first and second pages, but none on the third. The letter was shown and it was suggested that the first leaf should be torn off and M. Honjean's name placed on the reverse, but be refused to go, for his escape would cause suspicion and probably insure the removal of all the old keepers. Ferre and Kigault amused themselves by visiting him at night after dinner, and endeavoring to frighten him by threats of what would be done to him and narrations of what they had done, how they had drowned Thiers and impaled Picard, how his wife and children were being held as hostages and would be shot, and so on, till the keys so trembled in the hands of the sacred turnkey who attended them that Rigault turned sharply upon him, and bade him stop that Castanet playing.

Toward the end of April Garreau'was succeeded by Eugene Fouet, a lame hair-dresser, luckily a timid aud harmless man, who left his subordinates to themselves. Under bis administration the Depot was a sort of harem for the Pashas of the Prefecture, for nightly Courbet, Rigault or Ferre "drew upon" the Depot for so many women of the town as companions of their debauches, the prisoners being returned next day. The last entry of the sort was made on the night of May 20, when Rigault ordered five young girls, who were named in his note, to be sent to his rooms at supper-time. During the sixty-six days of the Commune's sway the Deot received 3,632 male prisoners. "No.

3,440, Jean Veysset (bis real name was George). 59, cultivator: spy, to be kept safely for disposition by Theophije Ferre, brought in May 1st, was a most lmpor- 'tant prisoner, for he was a bold and clever agent of the Government at Versailles, and had planned the defeat of the Commune. May 11th the Flourens Avengers, with a com-missaire, had searched his rooms, RneCau-' martin, for he was suspected, and not finding bim there had arrested his wife, who bribed CoUrnet with 3,000 francs to remove Jier to St. Lazare, where, lost amid the crowd of the wives of the incarcerated tergehU-de-l xille, she felt safer than in the neigh- -borhood of Ferre. Veysset had at first tried to negotiate for a peaceable surrender, to which several of the Communist leaders whom he had sounded were not averse; then M.

Thiers engaged him to buy tip a General to admit the Versailles troops within the fortifications. He boueht the artillervmen at Montiuarte. paying an earn est of 10,000 francs when they had spiked two euns in his presence, and, faithful to their contract, next day (May 14) they killed sixty Federals at Levallois-Perret, an "accident" mentioned In the Journal Ottlciel as showing that "the aim of the nieces was not yet quite exact." Veysset had then arranged to buy ud General Dorubrowski. who was to receive for himself and his staff 1,500.000 francs and a safe conduct from France, in consideration of surrendering to the regular army the fortifications from the gate of the Point-du-Jdur to Wagram Gate. The money, as appears by a mem orandum from a high personage at Versailles, was to be paid in bills of the Banqtie du France or drafts on the Rothschilds at Frankfort.

All the preliminaries bad been settled with one ot- Dorabrowski's staff, Hutxinger, his agent, the of May being the designated date; the guns were to be silenced and a retreat ordered, leaving the drawbridges down "to allow the General to make an inspection of the scene without," nd Veysset had the earnest of 20,000 francs in hand when he was arrested. He had seven lodgings, and dodged Rigault's agents successfully, but a woman named Muller, one of his spies, betrayed him for a small sum. Just as Veysset waa taken to the depot the gates were opened to the Versailles troops. DombrowsH, thinking himself betrayed, tried in desperation to retreat, but was shot in the stomach by a woman near a barricade. Boulevard Ornano, May 22d so M- Du Camp says, though there is good authority for saying that be waa killed by Ser- I'eant Cassonova, of the Forty-fifth of the ine; who with a Bmall force of infantry had established himself in a bouse commanding the barricade, at the corner of the boulevard and Rue Myrrha) and was buried with all honors at Pere la Chaise, where the grave-digger came with in an ace of being shot for notbeing sutflciently mournful.

The first victim taken from the prisons was Jean Veillot, aged twenty-eight, -taken with arms in his hands" and 5 francs in bis pocket, which, according to the custom of the time, were confiscated by hia captors. When ciTen charge of the -platoon he demanded to have the money returned to him. "You'll get your 5 franca in five minutes. Come along, replied one of the Flourens Avengers, and be was dragged out upon the Quai de PHorloge and shot. On the prison register the clerk wrote as -the door closed: "Taken out to be shot." At the dawn of Wednesday, May 24th, the cannonade recommenced, the regular army slowly but surely surrounding the island, the pivot of its concentric movements being 14 tin art re, so easily occupied on the eve, thanks to Veysset's negotiations.

But at the moment of near triumph Thiers' faithful i i i. l. .1 nn v. Agent had seaiea ins uerouou wini uhumiuj At eight Theophile Ferre, with a squad of Avengers, appeared at the depot. "All the sergeants de ville, all the gendarmes and all the priests are to be shot off-band.

Two of the Federals protested that they were willing to fight, but were not butchers; but he reviled them as cowards, and their comrades jeered them out their scruples.

Four men lifted the corpse if It was quite a corpse, which is doubtful and threw it into the Seine. "He deserved to be struck by the iustice of the people." said Ferre to the spec tators.

"You see wa don't do things in holes and cornera. It was some time ere Ferre returned to the depot, but he went back in a couple of hours wi tn nis a vengers ana lour two Magistrates, and seating himself in tne virector omce, called lor 1 the registers. Fortunately Ferre was new to the work. and fortunately the Deputy, Pierre Bra- quond, an old soldier, was determined to save the prisoners' lives at all hazards. It was only a question of a few hours, or even minutes, for the regulars were steadily pressing back the Federals, and the noise of the street-fighting was every instant becoming clearer ana nearer, un a sheet of paper already prepared Ferre wrote slowly the name of one man destined to death, "3,546, Joseph Ruault, probable Bonapartist agent." As he did so Braquond slipped away to Ruault's cell.

dragged him out and whispered to him. "In here, and no matter who calls don't answer to your name," thrust him into one of the common wards, where some three hundred prisoners were crowded together. This done, Braouond slinned bark tn Ferre' nrwnw "Call out Ruault hurry." cried Ferre. and in an instant Braquond was loudly calling down the corridors: "Ruault! Ruault did not answer; not a soul in the ball where he was knew 'him; Braquond's assis tant took: up tne cry, and many precious minutes were consumed in the contusion. "We can hnd him," answered Braquond "didn you hear us calling for him?" "You are all Versaillese and traitors:" veiled Ferre, furiously striking the table; "bring out Kuault this instant or 1 11 shoot you "That won't help matters." calmlv replied the Deputy.

"Citizen Delegate, you don't understand your business. We are will ing to obey you in any thing we can do, but here you are asking us to look for a man who isn't in the prison at all." "Not in the prison, where in hell is he?" roared Ferre "How do I know?" imperturbably replied uraquona; "rui i ten you in a moment," and. taking the register from Ferre, he ran rapidly down tne pages and read: Kim 11 1 1 fill her rlil I i na Ttrtnnnnrt iaf uwunt ---ri 1 April 19 removed to La Sante, May 18, by oraer ot Udmona Levraalt. ierredid not notice the difference of names, offenses and numbers, but, after damnine Levrault ud and down, took the register, and after a brief examination, said: "Well, since Ruault isn't here, fetch me "uich one? asked Braquond. Thinking that the Deputy was making game of him, Ferre burst out with a torrent of abuse, which Braquond stood with the lialf-respectful, balf-amused calm of an old soldier, then answered.

"Which one, citizen? Ihereare perhaps a dozen Michels in the prison. Tell me which one you want, and you shall have him in an instant, and, tak ing up another index, he read: "Michel, I-ouis Pierre policeman. "Michel, Jules Alfred laborer.

Thev at once raised a cry of "Fire!" and made desperate attempts to escape or to attract the attention of the guards, but in vain. Meanwhile the attend ants were shouting uselessly for Michel; Ferre was raving in impotent wrath at their dilatoriness, and some of the bolder amonv them were already unlocking the cells and whispering to the inmates, "Keeep up your hearts it can last ten minutes: when sud denly the most fearful shrieks were heard from the women's ward, where several hundred scared females had seen the fire bursting out in the Prefecture and bad gone wild with panic.

"Make them shut up, cried rerre nervously. One of his companions slipped away, and the other, Eugene Fouet, called to Braquondto tell the women to be patient; if they did burn they were only a pack of gendarmes' mistresses. Braquond could no longer stand it, and leaping up from his chair shouted to his keepers: "Unlock every cell door: let out the prisoners from the wards," an order instantly obeyed. The wild rush of several hundreds of men and women along the corridors followed, and t-erre, starting up, ran out into the street, followed by his aveng ers. He may have feared that the prisoners would massacre him and them, or he may have recollected that the prison was pretty sure to barn, and that the vaults of the Pre fecture were full of powder any way he tied, and, after an hour aud a half of anxiety, Pierre Braauond remained master of the field.

Meanwhile the people without, who knew what preparations had been made to destroy the place, and to the number of 200, three-fourths of them beins; women, set themselves to removing the barrels of powder. The first to move was a barber named Lebois; he was followed by an Auvergnat woman. Saint Chely by name, a charcoal-peeler, a female Hercules of great beauty, singular coolness and infinite jollity. I Hair loose, sleeves rolled up.

she shouldered the heavy barrels, carried them to the Desaix fountain and dumped them into the basin, encouraging her companions with jests and assurances as the fire crept down the building toward the powder, that there was lots of time for one more load, and still one more, till all the powder and the 1,200,000 cartridges had been fmt out of barm's way. Ferre, by threaten-ng the firemen with death, had compelled them to remove with' all their engines, and until nearly midnight the people bad to fight the flames with 'buckets and pitchers of water, wet blankets and the like, but they succeeded in saving their houses and in res cuing most of the papers or the rreiecture. Meanwhile the inmates of the depot, surrounded by blazing buildings on every side. strove to escape. Some ventured down to the Quai de l'llorloge, others to the Quai de I'Orfevre, both of which were swept with balls exchanged by the fighting Federals and regulars.

A few I escaped; many were wounded; five or six fell dead; the remainder hastened back to the prison, where Braquond received them, fastened the doors and organized them into brigades, and fought the fire with desperation bnt at last it established itself in the roof. Even then there were some hours before it could render the lower part of the building untenable; but eighty prisoners, becoming panic-stricken, insisted on leaving, in charge of a turnkey named Laurent. Reaching the wharf, he signaled to the regulars with a handkerchief, and they ceased firing long enough for the fugitives to cross the quay and find The remainder Lin the prison escaped burning, but came near being drowned, the great tank bursting and drenching the whole building beneath, so that the floors were ankle-deep. About five o'clock in the evening a detachment of the Seventy-ninth Regiment of the Line reached the prison, and there was no longer any fear of fire or mas sacre.

As for Mme. Saint Chely, she has prospered, and knits behind the counter of a well-stocked store, broad shouldered and jolly as of yore, and having only one unpleasant reminiscence of the Commune-that, while climbing into a window (or rather backing out of it) where there was a lot of powder stored, she caught her petticoats in an inopportune nail and made a more liberal display of sturdy ankles and calves than she had intended.

MARSHAL JUET. Still Analber Hfry Abaat That Dasn-Inar French Soldier. (Auburn (X. Advertiser. Judge Hall, of this city, is authority for the information that some five-and-twenty years ago a venerable gentleman by the name of Morgan, then connected with the Treasury Department, generally known and addressed as Colonel Morgan, of Washington, and reputed -to have been the person who conveyed the information to President Jefferson of the treasonable plans of Aaron Burr, upon which the latter was subsequently arrested and tried before Chief Justice Marshall, informed him that the late Richard Rush ascertained tohis own satisfaction, while Marshal Ney was resting under his death sentence by a Bourbon court-martial, that he was by birth an American, and had previously been a restless, reckless and ambitious cavalry officer in the army of General Anthony Wayne.

Our informant says he is unable to recall to his mind all the particulars of the story related to him by Colonel Morgan; but the substance of the story was something like the following: A well-known tobacco merchant in Philadelphia by the name of. Rodolph or Rudoph, a native of the Carol inas or Georgia, had a brother in the cavalry or dragoon service in the campaign of General Wayne against the North-western Indians in or about the years "J2, '03, or '04; that in consequence of some difficulty with the General he quit the service and went to bis brother's in Philadelphia: that upon arriving at his brother's he learned that his wife had been unfaithful to him during his absence from her; that, smarting under the duplicate trouble ensuing from his difficulty with General Wayne and his wife's infidelity, he resolved to seek another field for the gratification of his military ambition, and sailed from the port of Philadelphia in his brother's vessel bound ostensibly to the West Indies for a cargo of tobacco; that the vessel, after a long absence, returned without him, and his brother thereafter disclaimed any knowledge of his whereabouts; that their mother, who came to Philadelphia occasionally afterward to visit her son, frequently expressed her conjecture that he had gone to France to find military occupation away from the smoke of the native hamlet and the annoyances incident to a faithless wife; that aftec Napoleon had entered upon his high military career against the European combinations with his marshals she saw a picture or print of his marshals with Ney's face among the rest, and fancied that Ney face was that of her son; that she found her way to impress Minister Rush with her fancy so that, after Ney was arrested he went to his prison and to converse with him that he ascertained from him that he could speak English as well as French, and was familiar with localities in Philadelphia; that he seemed to be familiar with the family name of Rodolph or Rudolph and seemed to be gratified with Mr. Ruh'i statement that a venerable mother by that name in America and her son, a tobacco mer chant in Philadelphia, were alive and in good health; he anected entire ignorance of any relationship to them whatever; and that after the date of Ney's reported execution by a platoon of soldiers in Paris. Mr. Rush brought home with him an ac curate portrait of him and sent it to Mrs.

at her home in one of the Carolinas or Geor gia, which confirmed Jier previous impression that Ney was her son; that he, the said Colonel Morgan, had frequently talked the subject over with Mr. Kusli in his lifetime, and learned from Ins lips that he verily be lieved Ney to have been precisely all and what this story imports the ambitious son of Mrs. Rodolph, or Rudolph, who went to the West ostensibly alter a cargo oi tobacco, twenty or more yearsbefore. Our informant says Colonel Houston's ac count of the escape and return of Ney to North Carolina, recently published in the Advertiser, reminded him of the above story. related to him by Colonel Morgan, of Penn sylvania, hve-anu-twenty years ago, and that although he thinks Colonel Houston's story needs a great deal of corroborative evidence to make it at this late day, he thinks the ''story of Colonel Morgan that Ney was a native ot one ot tne uaroli- nas or Georgia furnishes presumptions in that' direction, and renders it more credible than if it stood by itself alone.

If Colonel Morgan's relation of the information he de rived from Mr. Rush is entitled to credit it indicates the place I he would naturally have sought as a refuge from the judgment of that Court-martial if he were able by col lision, stratagem, or other means to fly from France and reach any refuge whatever. It appears to be the general opinion of all Mar shal Ney biographers mat ne was an eccentric as well as a heroic character, and that be turned up in the French array as a sort of electric prodigy. ithout any known step-ladder or military antecedents of any conse- auence he flashed out as a hero at once. As ne was capaoie oi planning ana executing the most complicated movements in the II 1 I 1 field he was also capable, no doubt, of planning and executing the adroitest plans of es cape, stranger things nave occurred man that he couuaea wun me soiaiers to permit him to feign death from their bullets and escape unscathed.

Our credulity is overtaxed by the fact that when he arrived in North Carolina and', was identified as Marshal Ney the intelligence was not then blazoned bv the newspapers all over the land. The lateness of the publication smacks of the sensational smartly. As the Sedaliaand Mis souri papers appear to believe Uolonel nous-ton we stop short of pronouncing it untrue. We merely say that it is a story which needs a great deal of corroborative testimony to en title it to credit, as against an tne Biographies, and among them one by Ney's two sons, which concur in the idea that he was executed and buried in France. Previous to the appearance of Colonel Houston's history we never heard any thing concerning Marshal Ney, save that related of and about nim by his biographers.

But the story of Colonel Houston adds information of him to a certain degree, and perhaps it would not be a vain idea to look into the matter while the Philip Petrie, Lucius Butler and the two Youngs, alleged to have known Ney in North Carolina, are alive. Perhaps the papers of the late Richard Rash would throw some light upon the subject if examined. It is hardly probable, however, that the Marshal ever had any different experience than that with which he is accredited by his biographers, his widow and his two sons, who certainly ought to have known his life and fate best.

June a In ths Dfetrict of Ttea Men it has been- customary to use small casta as local currency, the Chinese cash varying in size from that of an old-fashioned copper cent to those now used. A Urge shop in one of the villages took small cash in payment of cloth, but demanded the large cash for salt and other articles. One day a pur chaser objected to pay the larger coins in satisfaction of purchases, contending that small cash was local currency, and that the shop had no right to make an exception to the general rule.

The wordy war waxed warm, and at last the ahopmaa draggedoff the purchaser "to a nettv official, who was his personal friend, who decided at once in his favor and ordered the defendant to pay large cash, which he did. and then went to his neighbors to complain how they were wronged bv the official and the shop. The excitement rose to a regular riot, daring which the offending establishment was wrecked, and on the arrival of the Chief Magistrate he was mobbed, the people requiring him to promise there should be but one kind of currency in the future. On pretense of going to this office to issue the proclamation he escaped to the Provincial Capital and represented the village in a state of revolt. On this the Governor-General or dered a high military officer to take an escort and go and investigate the matter.

The presumed insurgents, hearing of the approach of the troops, hung a banner far up the road by which they would come, on which was in scribed: "Though urged thereto by tne officials, still we will not revolt."

as it gives a very good idea not only of their justice but their law "The Acting-Governor of Shantung reported the trial and execution of Chen Szje, a native of the Fang-Yih District, for the crime of patracide. From the evidence adduced at the trial, which has been pending for some time, it appears that on the 0th of April, 186, the culprit. who up to that time had lived with his father on a footing of pro(er filial obedience, had sold a pear-tree for cash, and. having this amount of ready money, was de sired by Ins father to pay, on bis account. the sum of 500 cash, which the elder man owed at the village bakers.

Chen Szje pro posed to wait awhile longer, upon which his father abused him as a disobedient son, seized a chopper and rushed at him with it, threatening to kill hin. Chen Szje defended himself as best he could, but his father con tinued to grapple with him, until at length, having possessed himself of the weapon.

Thrown into confusion by this interrogation, he was unable to conceal the truth any longer, and having confssed the act he had committed he jvas denounced to the District Magistrate, arid committed to custody.

A question arose and was referred to the higher authorities regarding the necessity for an inquest on the remains; but, as it was considered that decomposition must have set in, and as the relatives who had come tq. the rescue deposed to the nature of the wound and the treatment thev had resorted to in plastering it with flour, while the other relatives of the de ceased begged that the remains of their kinsman who had met so sad a fate might not be' further disturbed, the late Governor, Ting Pao-cheng, sanctioned the conclusion of the trial without an inquest. 1 he prisoner, having confessed his crime.

The sentence has accordingly been carried into effect, and the head of the parricide has been forwarded to the scene of ins crime to serve as a warning.

Could any thing be more unjust or terrible than the fate of this man, who, because he defended himself from the blind fury of an other, albeit his own father, and in carrying out his natural instinct of self-preservation. unwittingly and unwillingly deprived his father of life, was made to sutler an extrem itv of agonv no pen of mine could depict. even if I cared to, further than to state ling clie means slicing the living, quivering flesh bv inches from the bones, care being taken to wound no vital part until the very last, so the victim may drain his cup of anguish to the dregs?

Many stories are told of the cleverness of the Cossacks in obtaining what they need for themselves or horses, and all tend to show that tbeir morality is of a different type to that of European civilization generally.

CRUELTY TO PAUPER CHILDREN, Barbara as Ciirls la Systona. Treatment af Two tittle Eaclaarf The Faraafac-Oa A few days since in the British House of Lords.

The subject of-boarding out had been considered by the President of- the Local Government Board.

Inspectors bad reported as to the state of the children, but the aim cultv rested with cases within Union and the President of the iloard intended to issue an order which would prevent the re currence of such a case as the present. The man and woman thus referred to naa been guilty of a most sickening case of cruelty. The victims of this barbarity were two little pauper gins, lntrjistea, unaer a modified form of what is known as the "boarding-out system," to the care of an sg- ncultural laborer and bis wife: and. these persons having been convicted, the husband, Richard Sudlow. was aentended to nine months' and Anne Sudlow.

his wife: to fif teen months' imprisonment, with hard labor. As too often happens in such revolting cases. the woman was the greater offender. The two wretches had been torturing their miser able little charges for months. The children had been habitually and mercilessly beaten and after punishment their tormentors im mersed the scarified bodies of the sunerers in brine.

"Flogging and pickling" were sue ceeded in the case of one of the girls by tear ing the cartilages of her nose asunder and dragging heraboutby the hair of her head un til she became bald, and, according to the evi dence-of one of the witnesses, "looked more like a monkey than a human-being." Some times the wretched little helots were rolled naked in the snow. They were systematically starved, and were glad to eat the garbage thrown to the pigs. On one occasion, pressed by hunger, they stole an egg, and, as chastisement for this dire offense, rotten eggs were forced tlown their throats. An Irian I.earend. Dublin University Magazine.

A rich lady sat up late one night carding and preparing wool, while all the family and servants were asleep. Suddenly a knock was given at the door and a voice called "Open! open!" "Who is there? said the woman ot the house. 1 am tne itcu oi the One Horn," was answered. The mistress, supposing that one of her neighbors had called and required assistance, opened the door, and a woman entered, having in her hand- a pair or wool caraers. and bearing a born on her forehead, as if grow ing there.

She sat down by the fare si lence, and began to card the wool with violent haste. Suddenly she paused, and said aloud: ''Where are the women They delay too long." Then a second knock came to the door, and a voice cubed as before. "Open! open'" The mistress felt herself constrained to rise and open to the call, and immediately a second witch entered, having two horns on her toreneaa, ana in ner hand a wheel for spinning the "Give me place, she said 1 am the itch of the Two Horns, ana sne oegan to spin as, quick as lightning. And bo the knocks went on, and the call was heard, and the witches entered, until at last twelve women sat around the tire the first with one horn, the last with twelve horns. And they carded the thread, and turned their spinning-wheels, and wound and wove, all singing together an anrient rhvme.

hut no word did thev sneak to the mistress of the house. Strange to hear and frightful to look upon were these twelve women, with their horns and their wheels; and their mistress icit near to aeatn, ana sue tried to rise that she might call for help, but she could not move, nor could she utter a word or cry, for the spell of the witches was upon her. 1 hen one ot tnem called to her in Irish, and said: "Rise, woman, and make us a cake." Then the mistress searched for a vessel to bring water from the well that she might mix with the meal and make tlm cake, but she could find none. And they said to her: "lake a sieve and bring water in it." And she took the sieve, and went to the well but the water poured from it. and she could fetch none for the cake, and she sat down by the well and wept.

Then a voice came by her, and said: "Take yellow clay and moss, and bind them together, and plaster the sieve so that it will hold." This she did, and the sieve held the water for the cake. And the voice said again: "Return, and when thou contest to the north angle of i 1 .1 i li tne nouse cry aiouu mree times, ana say.

When tne witcnes insiae neara the call. great and terrible cry broke from their lips, and they rushed forth with wild lamentations ana shrieks, and fled away to Sleive-namon, where was their chief abode.

But the Spirit of the Well bade the mistress of the house to enter and prepare her home against the enchantments of the witches it tney retumea again. And first, to break their spells, she sprinkled the water in which she had washed her child's feet (the feet-water) outside the door of the threshold; secondly, she took the cake which the witches had made in her absence, of meal mixed with the blood drawn from the sleeping family. And she broke the cake in bits, and placed a bit in the month of each sleeper, and they were restored, and she took the cloth they had woven and placed it half in and half out of the chest with the padlock and, lastly, she secured the door with a great cross-beam fastened in the iambs, so that they could not enter.

Til IE YES BT BIRTH. Pcrsaas li Wnaaa Sataral the Frasti sitv ta Steal fa istlala. rrmm the Phrenological I was invited to a jail in Massachusetts by a young lawyer, who has since become nitea States Senator, to examine the head of a ciieatof his wbosa was todsfend oa the charge of stealing. No information was given as to his alleged crime, and we de scribed the young man as being abnormally acquisitive, or selfish in respect to possession that he had very strong veneration, and would manifest much religious devotion, and would be sincere in it; while with his small cautiousness and conscientiousness, and very huge acquisitiveness he would beflikeiyto trespass upon the rights of others in. the way of Stealing.

At this point the lawyer told the young man he might tell me what ne naa ioia pira fthe lawyer). He went on to relate that he 1. Lun .1, if atMAlinv rff thin tr whether be wanted it or not; that 'he would ro to raver meeting ana take the oppor tunity of praying two or three times during the evening, and sometimes oh the way home he would be inspired with a devo tional feeling, and would kneel down in the corner of the fence alone, ana nave a season of m-aver that was sweet and heavenly to him: and. strange as it may seem, if he saw a hoe banging on a farmer's fence, or a whiffle-tree chain, or pin of a rart neap, or a beetle and wedges, br an old ax, half-worn, he would steal it, and aft erward it would occur to him that he could toot use the articles, nobody would buy them, and bis only way waa to conceal them and he remarked that there was a hollow log ly-inar in a small niece of wood in which he had secreted the articles which he had stolen because he dare not carry them home nor offer them for sale. But it seemed to him that he could not help stealing them; the impulse came on, and though he was sincere in his religious devotions, and exceedingly happy in- their performance, be seemed to himself to be left to the temptation of the devil when any thing which might be stolen was left in his way.

A man who was a minister tor an examination, ami at the end of a long and sharp analysis of bis character, in which acquisitiveness and secretiveness had been described as strongly developed and very ac tive, ana also conscientiousness auu lauuuur ness had been estimated as large, he seemed unwilling to go. but walked up and down the room for several minutes, as if he bad some burdened question he wanted to ask and yet was afraid to ask. Turning to biro, I said: "Do you wish to ask any questions?" les. he said: "there is one thing about me which you do not seem to have described. If you will tell me that, 1 win believe in phrenol ogy." 1 instantly replied: xou nave an inclination to ileal but probably manage to refrain from it." He opened bis eyes with terrified astonishment, an1, giving nie sucn a nerce gaze as never win be forgotten, remarkea: --sir, mat is true.

That is my trouble. I am a clergyman, sir, and hope that I am a true one; yet I have all my life long been tempted to steal, and in mv parochial visits often have an impulse come over me to take something; and left alone in a room I do take it; and sometimes it requires half an hour to find a convenient opportunity to get the article thus taken out of my pocket and back upon the shelf or table where it belongs. It may be a shell which every 8unday-school child in the parish knows; it may be an old hynn-book with a name written on it, and half worn out things which I do not need, and could not use it dia neea tnem, wunout me men being detected." And lie remarked, with tears tumbling down his face, "By the help of God I have been able, hitherto, to refrain from carrying away -any thing which I had thus, under the impulse, stolen." Twenty-hve years ago there was a weu-to- do farmer wife in Connecticut who bad an impulse to steal only one kind of au article. and that was blue stockings. If she were driving, in the middle of a bright afternoon.

a mile from home, where she and the horse and wagon were well known, and she caught sight of a pair of bluestockings hanging on aline in the yard with other clothing, she would stop her team, get out of the wagon, go into the yard in front of the rooms where the family were working, and jerk those stockings off the line, leaving a dozen iairs of other colors, return to her wagon, whip up the-- team and get out of the way. If sue had been a stranger, whose peculiarity was un known, she would have been followed and arrested and punished; but every body knew that she had that queer monomania lor blue stockings. I examined a man bead and described him as being very fond of money, happen ing, of course, to use that term, money, in stead of property, and it made quite a sen sation because it was known that he would steal money, and he did not hesitate to talk about it himself. But he would steal notir- ing else, no matter how valuable, though he knew he might be detected. Mlsox Sizer.

Abun dant crops can be raised on the same land for two consecutive years. For this reason the natives leave the roots in the ground, in making the first year harvest, and from these a second crop is obtained in the second year, lhe roots are then dug up, and some thing else is planted the third year. Xhen cane may be planted as before.

This' year's crop amounts to 10,100 tons of sugar. Cardinal Massing, writing to a friend in Dublin on intemperance, says: "Half the misery of homes arising from bad temper. sloth, squandering, selfishness, debt, neglect of all duty, is caused by Indulgence in wine and the like. The sure and best cure of this is to bring up children in simple habits, and to guard them against acquiring the liking for intoxicating drinks. When a liking for Hie taste is acquired the temptation is at once in existence.
