Church of the Rock In OberstadU So run the old tradition. Told in ouerstadt. How on're tliere lived two brothers Down by the valley plat ; One who was a hunter Searching wood and glen. One who was a ecbolar Living by bis pen. Now both were much ea-.inored Of a sweet lovely maid. Dwelling upon the mountains 'Within the softest glade. Each knew not that t lie other Ha l loved t'.ie same sweet face. And climbed the eanie steep bluffs To reach the same dear place. A day while one was hunting The other found the glade, Where lived the lovely maiden lu modesty arrayed. But while This youth and maiden Were happy In each other. Unfortunate icurence, There happened iu liie other. Politeness ruled the meeting, Aud fairly all things eped. No angry words were spoken, And courteous things were said. At length the youths departed To cross the iiouulaitis home. What p;used between the brothers Will never more be known. They quarreled fierce and angry. The bitterest jealous bate Had fired their biood and spirits One fouu J a dreadful tate. Down headioi g from the rociside Toe stronger tnrew tue weak.

He gave his useless forluntt To build a church sublime. He '.out; lit the very rockside Dowu which his brother fell. And there he bored, aud mined, Aud strove uis grief to quell. Within the mountain side He du an auitue room For church, choir a':d naive lu dusk unearthly k'iooui. Reneath the massive altar He laid the lxst rem litis Of him whose life be blasted ; Aud here his end attains. Twas Ions ago this happened.

William Welch, Esj., HtlUt.i Wis consin : My Dear Sir. You will doubtless remember that in 13 i. it after the defea.of General Scott for the Presi dency, I wrote you, as you were then chairman of Lhe State Ceii nil Wuig Committee, saying that we ought to re organize the Whig p trty on a n-w ba sis, and name it the Republic in pirty.

It is believed a lj ram n?n of : h- Greek chambers means hat the king, aided by British influence his tri umphed over the war pirty an 1 Greece wili not at present piriiuipite iu the war. This lessens the coinp'ieatious of the e;istern t i?s.io i. However Rus sia's friends will consider this fur ther step of the brittish ciVmst's an tagonism to Russia, and will argue that England induced this action of Greece by forcible representation-. Undoubtedly England's influence has been strong for peace, but not ntces sarily in a s?nse hostile to Russia and possibly without the knowledge of the British ministers. The time for Greek action has hardly arrived, and Greece looks rather to England than Russia as her natural protector. It m iv be well that the strained and uncertain rela tions between the great powers has checked the agitation which a month ago threatened to drive Greece into, immediate hostilities.

Ephesus, one of the twelve Ionian cities of Asia Minor, was fam ms iu antiquity as containing one of the sev en wonders of the world, the great temple of Artemis, or Diunn. From vtry early limes, Ephesus w.s a sacred city; tiie fable ascribed its foundation to the Amazons, ar.d the Amazonian legend is connected with Artemis. The first Ionian colonists in Lydia found the worship of the goddess al ready es.ab'.ished here in a primitive temple, w hich wassiiperc dt d by a mag niiicent structure. This Grecian tem ple was sevei. tiiri-,s restored at the ex pens" of all the Greek communities in Asi i Minor. In thi year 3 VI B. C, it was b iri I t the groan 1. but again rebuilt in a s vie of far better splendor than before, the work extending over two h in li ed years. The latter temple was 423 feet long and 220 feet wide. " The fo an 1 it ions wer" sunk deep in m irshy ground as a precaution against ear; ha, u ike," says Pliny. There were two rows of columns at the sides but the front and bik porticos consisted of eight rows of columns, placed four feet deep. OatsiJs at the entrance of the temple, stood ;i basin of porphyry fifteen feet iu diameter, for the wor shipers to lave and purify themselves in. The internal denotation was of the? m st sumptuous kind. The cedar roof was supported on pillars of jasper the doors were of cypress. The altar was the work of Praxiteles, and it was surrounded by many statutes, one of gold. The image of the goddess her self wiis roughly hewed out of wood black wiJi age. and greasy with the oil which it was custom iry to annoiut it. When the Appostle Paul visited Ephesus in the middle of the first cen tury the worship of Diana, still flour ishrd tliere.andthetemple retained all i s i r g n .1 splendor. P.Lri.ns to the venerated abode of the goddess used to buy little models of the tem ple in silver or precious stones, as me men oes of their first visit, and as am ulets to insure to them the protection of theEphesian Diana. The Goths sacked the city ami burned the tesiiple' about two' years later, and in the reign of Theodosius I, toward the end of the j fourth century, the furious zeal of the iconoclasts, or image breaker's, com-' pleted the destruction. The ancient city almost entirely disappeared be fore the modern era, the very site of tho temple being lost. LADILS HAT.S AM) BONNETS.' The Novelties Shown ia Paris and at the Itaces. The newest bonnett at the Gainsbor ough or the Vigee, so called because it is the copy of the bonnet or rather hat of the well-known famous por trait of the Duchess of Devonshire by Gainsborough, and also the hat of the portrait of Mme. Vigee le Brutii painted by herself. It was a largel broad Italian straw, placed sideways or rather turned up on one side, with long white feathers, and is verv origin al looking, elegant and becoming. Bon nets are made very much of rice straw, of Indian and Japanese stuffs and gauz es assorted to color of the dress, and the last fashion ornament is the In dian bird of Paradise for these kind of bonnets. The gauzes are striped with divet3 colors, gold and transparent bands The parasols are either quite small, with sticks of cherry-wood, tnado so as to put the sunshade sideways, ot very tall, like umbrellas, quite plain, without lace, ruches or fringes, ami match the skirt of the dress. Foulard dresses are much seen ; they are cool and, if they get creased can be ironed out to look always fresh and new. Thi3 is a great advantage. The skirts are made plain, and the polonaise of the same colored ground, with a de sign such as flowers or the bird's eye pattern which is much seen. Then all kinds of gauzes, such as Algier ienne, with satin or chenille stripes, Georgienne, glance or carneliene i:i all shades; Indian and Ariucnieuno damasked figured and striped ; organ dy raousseline crep and bareges are quite the fasion; these last over trans parencies of silk. The leading colors are white, black, pink and blue, in every shade that the chemist can produce ; the three nuan ces of ivory, cream and blanc mat aro great favorites and becoming to all complexions. I went to see at tho dressmaker.? some of the dresses for the garden party to tie held next week in honor of the Prince and Princet-i Suxe-Coburg Gothu. The color vil or is still worn, I find. There wns ii dress of this yellow, intended for a very elegant young countess, which 1 must describe if possible to you. The skirt was faille vieil or, quite plain, with long, fan-shaped train; polonaise, pi incese of white striped crepe de chir.s one stripe embroidered, one a jours or open work, through which the yellow ground was seen and draped with large bows of large-sided faille, moss-green garland, little yellow flowers and as ters. There was a very hand?orni dress of ecru or unbieached linen color and rose Duhary, with at least f o ty metres or Malines lace; large parasol o. same pink, without lace; rico-straw bonnet, in front diadem shape, with large white ostrich feathers. Then I saw a-nice lady-like dress, with skirt of dark green faille, plissees coquilles or scolloped plaits in fronts, and flat plaits on the train, the polonaise iu Indian crepe vert absinthe or light sea-green made very ample with drap ed folds, drawn up at the sides alrou the height') of the knees, and border (-A all round an inch and a half deep with pink fail'e. This polanaise divides al the back a little below the waist, and falls iu two points, bordered with pink. In front it closes en bias, or sidewiys and is ornamented with three strips of pink faille, bordered with Malines lace; the sleeves are straight and close fitting, with cuffs of three stripes of pink faille and lace; the bonnet, rice straw, pink ribon and flowers; knot of pink ribon on the sholders, and light sea-green parasol. All kinds of collars are worn, to the galets Louis XVI. The lace jabot is fashionable, the Louis XIII dresses adopt the Vandycl: Laz irin collar in linnen, and bati?te, with Venetian lace or Irish lace; the fichu Marie Antoinette, crossing tkt breast and tied at the waist behind with points, is also much in vogue and the fichus Dtrectoire tied slightly in front are also worn. DiscoTery of a Singnlar Care In tie Black I! ills. From the Deadwood Times. About three miles above Crook City, on the White wood Creek, has been dis covered a very singular cave. It is situated on the northwest side of the creek, about 300 feet above the bed of the stream. It opens into a hill of limestone formation 50 feet high. The entrance to the cave is 20 feet wid j by 10 feet high. The first chamber 13 about 75 feet in length, and extends r little west of north. Then you enter another chamber about 200 feet la length, running almost directly north east. This second chamber is abor t 20 feet wide and 10 feet high. Xext you enter upon an inclined floor exten.liri down through a room C feet wide, 40 feet high and 13 feet in length. As yon leave this singular chamber, yeu turn into a small opening 2 by 3 feet, crawling on your hands and knees until it gradually enlarges to a ceilin.e; 15 feet high. The atmosphere of the cave is not disagreeable. It is necessary to take a flambeau, as the cave is utterly darf. The wall and ceiling are thick ly festooned with calcarious spar, and the outward coating of lime, but be- neath this coating 13 the clear Tjstal ized sparr
