These are ho perfectly fitted together
with a transparent cement that the

feet long and 17 wide, and Htand in
the middle of a huge batin made
of beautiful colored JmarbleH.
When the Kingentera the pavilion

Saturday morning, July the 14th
the lighting struck and completely
demolished the house of John Scott
in the west part of Greenwood, The
bolt struck the chimney, leveling it
to the roof. Here the bolt divided
running in different directionsdown
the roof tearing off fully half the
shingles and splintering rafters in
a fearful manner. The weather
boarding, sheeting and studding
were torn from two sides of the
house. The inside of the house
Jt ired even worse than the outside.
Lath, plastering and window casing
were thrown to the middle of the
nor. i lie miraculous part was
that the family, consisting of five
persons, were sleeping up stairs
and escaped with only nominal in
juries outside of the fright. The
beds were covered with brick and
plastering. The house Utterly torn
away from all sides of the bed:
Kvery chair in the house was turn
ed over and pictures and other or
naments were torn from the wall.

THE LAND OF INVERTED ORDER
Queer FnkH of Nature Seen in Aus
tralia mii1 Vicinity.
In the following it is nmjxiseil to prove
that Australia can be termed "The L.ml
of Inverted Order." In the Antipodean
wildd of that new South Pacini: repub
lic everything has some remarkable
characteristic peculiarity. Instead of
the leaves having their flat sides turned
to the ground they stand edgewise. The
opossum of America is the only specie.;
of paunohed animal known to the world
outside of Australia. On the Australi;;n
continent there are at least 110 specie
having that distinguishing ieculiarity.
They have been arranged into five
tribes, according to the food they eat.
The root eaters (wombats), the fruit eat
ers (phalangers), the grass eaters (kan
garoos), the insect eaters and the fi-';
eaters (native cats and rats). Of tl:
wombats there are four Fpecies, all -i
which burrow in the ground.
Two other very curious animals are
found in Australia that are unknown i;i
any other part of the world. These are
the echidna and the ornithorhynchns.
This latter is a species of beast shaped

has a very long, furry tail, which is nsed
as a rudder and looks much like a feathe:
when fully expanded.
The trees are alwaj-s in full leaf, but
shed their bark every year, which fact
alone would be sufficient to make the
Antipodean continent a wonderland.
The leaves of nearly all the trees are
highly aromatic, but the native flowers.
though of most brillif.nt tint, have no

never bark. They also have a bird with
a tongue like a broom, and a fish which
has part of the body belonging to the
genus Kaia and part to the genus Squale.
Many winged serpents are found there
and fish with large feathery wings. The
emu is a bird as large as an ostrich, but
instead of feathers has hair. One bird
has a note like a bell, another cries like
a child, while a third laughs as though
his sides would split. St. Louis Republic.

Ancestry and local surroundings, men
tal gifts and mental defects, unite to
make Hawthorne the greatest master of
the preternatural, the magician of the
spell of supernatural awe. From every
side come the elements which produce
the effect of unsubstantiality his power
of pensive brooding, the brown twilight
color which wraps his figures in a strange,
hazy atmosphere, the coldness of his
analysis, the self possession of his style,
the indefiniteness of his touch, the inde
terminatenesa of his end. His heroes
and heroines have little warmth; they
6carcely talk like ordinary men and
women; they move self consciously;
they speak constrainedly, as though
there is something present which reads
their thoughts, notes their gestures,
registers their actions.
The human interest is never so over
powering as to break through the film
of the atmosphere. A master of the by
play of suggestion, his hints meet us at
every turn. His subtle mind and pic
torial imagination give ghostly signifi
cance to the commonest objects. He
works out the central idea in marvelous
detail, never presenting it nakedly, but
always giving it concrete shape, exhibits
it from fresh points of view, offers it in
new combination, till the reader ends
by feeling that he is himself haunted by
the impalpable, inevitable presence of
Hawthorne's thought. Edinburgh Re
