7 THE ACAPTAKIWILP KAN. -
Down in the rich alluvial delta, of
Louisiana there winds to the sea a slow
brown bayou called the Terrebonne,
from the fertility of the black loamy
land through which it flows. Big sugar
plantations lie .along -its course, but
near the mouth are the homes of many
Acadians, for :this was one of the
Streams along which they settled in
Louisiana. , .
They cultivate little rice farms and
orange groves, and live in summer upon
their fishing and the produce of their
gardens in winter upon the game that
abounds iu tho marshes. Since their
exile they, like the Bourbons, have for
gotten nothing and have learned noth
ing. Their language, customs and
manners are identically the same as the
day when
With the turn of the tide the ships Killed out
of the harbor.
And the coasts of their beloved land grew
misty with distance..
In among these thriving little farms
is a large tract of land, a melancholy,
weedy waste. Great forest trees have
grown up in the midst of what were fair
fields that waved with golden rice.
Fences and boundaries long ago rotted
away. The ditches are choked with
grass, and young willows grow along
their line. The whole is matted with
the tangled growth of the lavish vegeta
tion brought up from this fertile sou by
the tropical suns and wild rains. Some
times at dusk you will catch a glimpse
of a bent figure skulking away from the
door of a ruined cottage whose chim
neys have fallen in, whose roof is a
green pulpy mass of lichen, and whose
walls totter forward to a falL The
neighbors will explain that it is only
old Allandin, the wild man.
If you will lie in wait about this hour
of the day.'conccaled in the underbrush,
you may catch a closer glimpse of him.
He looks seventy, but fi notreallyso
old. His once tall form is bent, ana he
walks with the quick, creeping move
ments of an animal. Long gray hair
hangs in filthy matted locks to nis waist
and mingles with his great sweeping
beard. Two large dark eyes gaze out
from a wrinkled, pallid face through
the rough hair with a glare like a cat
His hands arc like rough, knotted
claws, and his whole body has a growth
of coarse hair upon it His only cover
ing is a pair of brown blankets, through
which a hole has been torn to admit
his head, and he creeps silently away
every night into the forest swamps.
This is ,tue story the neighbors tell:
Thirty years ago there was no more
prosperous farm in the parish than that
of Etiennc Allandin, and no more
respected man than its rich young
owuer. He was alone in the world with
the exception of some distant cousins,
but his friends were many, and he was
betrothed to a pretty young girl who
was to marry him iu the next March.
His face was plain, except for his
splendid dark eyes, but he had a warm,
gentle heart, and was a fine parti, so
that he would not have asked any
Sarent around for twenty miles for their
aughter in vain. According to old
Acadian usage, he built a new house
that winter, sending loving care upon
the uest that was to hold his little mate.
Tho wedding day approached. The
happy bridegroom" made ready the
marriage corbeillc, as was usual, only
his gifts were the most splendid ever
seen in that simple neighborhood. The
wedding gown was of real white silk,
tho veil, wreath of wax orange flowers,
with the white shoes and gloves, bad
come all the way from New Orleans.
He rose early that lovely March morn
ing, and arraj-cd himself carefully in
his black, shiny clothes, casting tender,
amused glances at the little feminine
garments lying on that pride of every
Acadian woman's heart, a plump,
strong bed with milled pillows. He
was making up a parcel of these gar
ments ready to be carried to the bride
when an embarrassed and sympathetic
delegation came to inform him that the
bride had disappeared. She had eloped
with a handsome young good-for-naught
who had been refused by her parents,
and had left uot a word for her be
trothed. Allandin stood like a man
stunned; then he turned every one out,
and shut himself iu with his ruined
happiness.
boon the neighbors whispered that
the new house was empty and Allandin
had gone away to the swamp. From
that day he never spoke to any human
being. All day the man hid in his
bouse, and. with nightfall went to the
forest and like a wild beast sought his
food. Crawfish, lizards, field mice, and
birds, eaten raw, were his sustenance
His hair and beard grew long and
tangled, his clothes fell to pieces, and a
blanket became his only garb. In all
these thirty years he has never spoken,
and now he knows no human language.
His only sounds arc a few inarticulate
cries, and he shuns his kind like a
haunted animal. The sympathetic Aca
dians have never disturbed him, and at
nights when they hear a faint echo from
the swamps of a wild human cry, they
look sadly at each other and say:

AROUND PERUGIA.
Hilly Country, Honeycombed
Etruscan llurlal Vaults.
rlth
The old town of Perugia is well worth
visiting on many accounts, writes a cor
respondent of the Journal of Commerce.
Traveling by rail from Koine to Florence,
one sees large clusters of houses perched
high on the hillside. They arc crowned
with campaniles and domes, surrounded
by high walls, and provoke one's curiosi
ty to make their closer acquaintance. But
on consulting his guide-book the tourist
finds that these elevated settlements
contain a few objects of interest better
examples of which can be found else
where. He also learns, which is as much
to the purpose, that they have no good
hotels. Now, Perugia is very old, very
quaint, full of venerable historical as
sociations, a center of Etruscan tombs
and other antiquities, 1,700 feet above
the sea, and has a first-class hotel. This
modern structure occupies the highest
ground of the town, and commands a
magnificent view of the Umbrian valley.
East south, and west I survey all the
details of a landscape of variety and
beauty unsurpassed. It is intersected
by the Tiber and some smaller rivers,
which flash in the morning sun. Many
Tillages are visible as brown patches,
among them Assissi, famous as tho
birthplace of St. Francis. Mountains
bound the view on all sides. Some of
them arc still tipped with snow, and
their lunuuits would easily be mistaken
for clouds, if tho latter were not scurry
ins past In the south wind. This wind
will soonyuelt the snow, and is already j
making 1'erugia uncomfortable. As 1
write a haze is beginning to blot out
the more distant villages. A heated
term is threatening. But Americans
are not to be frightened by that Only
1 wish the roads were not so white aud
dusty.
This country is a vast cemetery. No
one can say how many races were buried
here before the Elruscans pased away
iu their turn and left the ground honey
combed with their tombs. When one
sinks a well or digs a cellar for a house
he is apt to strike his spade against a
rock, which gives back a hollow sound.
It is the roof of an Etruscan burial vault
From this subtcrraneau chamber the air
has been excluded for more than two
thousand years. I am told that strange
things are sometimes seen in these tombs
at the moment when they are opened,
and then vanish forever. They say that
glimpses are caught of old Etruscan lords
and ladies sitting at banquets, and that
these disappear the instant the outer air
touches them. When the tinder proceeds
to open and examine the tomb he dis
covers nothing but a heap of dust iu
place of the vision that had startled him.
These are obviously fables, for tho most
part Though 1 believe that it is true
that an Etruscan knight in full armor
collapsed to dusty nothingness in pre
cisely this way when his tomb was in
vaded a few years ago. We have been
to see the sepulcher of tiie Volummi,
about five miles below Perugia and found
it and its contents very lrange and in
teresting, it is supposed to date back
to the third century, B. C. A descent
of some thirty steps leads down to it from
the roadside. First, a chamber about
twenty-live feet square is eutered, and
from this smaller apartments branch to
right and left The sepulcher is hewn
out of the tufa rock. It is very damp
and cold. Heads of Medusa, dolphins,
and serpents are carved with much skill
on the top and sides of this tomb. All
around stand small stone urns, each one
bearing iu alto relievo the reptesenta
tiou of a light Oue man is always kill
ing another unless the scene is varied
by the sacrifice of a bound and helpless
woman or child on au altar. The covers
of these urns are higher works of art
They are surmounted with recumbent
figures of the men aud woman. These
are dressed in the costume of their age
and sex, and each has iu his or her hand
a bowl for tears. Lifting off a cover I
find inside the urn about a hat full of
ashes. I run my lingers through this
mass and feel fragments of burnt bones.
But I am rudely stirring up all that re
mains of some gallant warrior or some
haughty beauty, and 1 withdraw my
hand with a seuse of remorse. A great
many personal ornaments of exceeding
richness and grace have been taken
from these receptacles, ami are separate
ly exhibited by the custodian. But if
one wishes to realize the full cxteut of
the arts and sciences familiar to the old
Etruscans he should inspect the splendid
collection in the university museum at
Perugia.
Variegntetl Shirts.
Blakely Hall, writing in the Brooklyn
Eagle, says: "The colored shirt mania
is becoming acute, and is rapidly get
ting beyond coutrol. The proudest man
in town to-day Js the one who parades
Broadway with a liberally-exposed shirt
bosom formed of a background of sea
green, splashed with red roses and occa
sional arrows of a light shade of" pink,
with a high white collar and a purple
tie. This gentleman feels that he can
defy all comers. The only rival to this
particular specimen of misdirected en
ergy in the matter of color is Air. Berry
all's waistcoat It was built for him
at vast expense, aud would be the pride
of Mr. Wall's friends if it were not for
the fact that the sight of it plunges them
into a condition of blind, uure:isoning,
and violent 'envy. The body of the
waistcoat is white, and over its surface
are embroidered countless miniature re
presentations of Mr. Berry Wall's great
race-horse Wallflower, with a jockey on
his back wearing Mr. Wall's colors, blue
and white. The appearance
of shirts of gorgeous color and the ad
vent of the racing season are simultan
eous this year. It is a curious freak
which makes the most extravagant ad
missible as far as the shirt bosoms and
cuffs are concerned, but rigidly pre

ions that have afflicted the town this is
by long odds the most absurd.

BUMPS AND TRAITS.
The Mistake or.it Phrenologist A Vallew
, Whi4 Bump Varied from the
Chart.
I can't just now recall his name, bat
he was registered at the hotel at Elk
Rapids as from the Chicago Tribune.
There wasn't anything singularin two
newspaper men" making up to each
other not when they were both away
from home. I liked 'his looks from the
start, aud when he realized it he brought
out a chart of his head which Professor
Fowler had given him. According to
the chart his leading traits were:
1. Extreme liberality.
2. Utter absence of selfishness.
3. Strong friendship.
I was glad that the chart confirmed
my own private impressions, and- our
friendship was cemented with the blood
of the revolution, for which the land
lord .charged ten cents a glass. On the
fourth clay we went out together in a
skiff on the bay to fish. He insisted on
paying for the bait and in rowing the
boat and that agreed exactly with trait
No. 1. We were a half mile offshore,
and still going ahead, when the skiff
banged agaiust some uuseen object,
the bottom was stove in, and the next
moment she filled to the gunwales. The
oars floated away as wc floated out and
we settled down to business with the
wreck floating full of water, and he
hauging to one end and I to the other.
It w:is only then that a suspicion crept
into my mind that Fowler hadn't felt
of that chap's bumps in dead earnest
"You did it you infernal idiot you
did it!" he yelled at me, as he got Little
Traverse Bay out of his mouth.
As Fowler hadn't included truth in
his leading traits, I felt free to deny the
allegation, but he repeated it in a vig
orous manner and added:
I've got a revolver, and if you don't
let go of this boat Pit shoot you!"
"For wiry?" says I.
"Because it won't float both of us, and
I'm going to save myself at any cost!"
That was his --utter absence of self
ishness," as recorded on the chart, and
I was surprised and grieved to think
Fowler had been so taken in. I asked
for a little grace, and he replied:
"Give you just two minutes to say
your prayers."
I wanted twenty, and he wouldn't
even compromise on six. That was
more of his "extreme liberality." When
I saw that he was inclined to hurry tho
funeral I bounced the boat around and
prevented him from getting at his
weapon, which had stuck fast in his wet
pocket. Pretty soqu he tried another
lay. Said he:
"I am a married man and have four
children. All you've got is a wife, and
she's half dead at that Have some
reason about you."
1 agreed to argue the case, each side
being limited to live minutes, and he
charged me with cold-blooded selfish
ness. If the circumstances were only
reversed he'd die for me in a minute,
but as we couldn't reverse 'em he had
another proposition. If I'd let go and
die quietly and decently he'd raise at
least $100 for my widow if he was saved
and would give me a column notice in
the Tribune, describing the details of
my heroic act, and winding up with the
paragraph :
"We are certain that the public will
not let his grave remain uuhonored by
a fitting tablet"
I wanted to know what sort of a tab
let, the cost, etc. I had seen so many
cheap tablets that 1 felt like holding out
for a Scotch granite monument with an
angel on tlie apex. He got so mad at
the delay that 1 had to bounco the boat
again to keep tho pistol iu his pocket

to mv generosity aIU- manly honor. Ho
had just had his salary raised. His,
father-in-law had just como to appreci
ate him for what he was. He was the
president of a Chicago literary society,
and a leading member of a debating
club. His future was full of the biggest
kind of watermelons, and the whole
world would mi&s him. I hadn't any
salary worth mentioning no father-in
law at all--no hopes bej'oiul fourth-floor
rates. Wasn't it better to die a hero
than to live on like a thistle by the road
side? I asked him to put his language
in the form of a motion, which he did
and a vote was taken it was a stand
off. His side only got one vote and
that was half full of water.
1 never saw a chap so full of motions
and resolutions as he was for three
quarters of an hour, and I never attend
ed a caucus where the opposition was
so determined to vote them all down.
He had apparently exhausted his stock
aud was hunting for something new,
when he lost his hold on the wreck and
went down down down about four
feet where he rested solidly on a sand
bar. The water for fifty feet around
was from two to four feet deep, and it
was the end of a sunken spar which had
wrecked us. He came over to me and
held out his hand, but I waded away
from him in a dignified manner. He
said he was only in fun, and he offered
me three fish-hooks, a jack-knife, a ball
of string, and a big huuk of Petoskey
maple sugar to resume friendly ana
confidential relations. In vain. A
fisherman came out and took us off the
bar, and wc never spoke again. A man

LAKE COMO.
A Pretty LIttlo
Sheet or Water, and That
Is All.
A few days after leaving Venice 1
found myself on the shores, or banks
I hardly know which is the correct
term of Lake Como, writes a corres-
I undent of the San Francisco Chronicle.
t is a very pretty sheet of water, but
there are many lakes in America quite
as beautiful if less historically interest
ing and less favored its to climate.
Travelers stopping at Milan do not al
ways seem to bo aware that they are so
near to Lake Como, and consequently
fail to visit it, which is an error. By
getting up at au unjournalistic hour in
the morning, and taking a circular
ticket one can go to Como, which oc
cupies about an hour. Here he takes a
steamer it is quite unnecessary to say
a little steamer, since big ones do not
exist in Europe aud is conveyed to
Bellagio, where he has two or three
hours for observation. Then he takes
another steamer equally small, and
without going to C'olico, at the further
eud a name with a choleraic sound
he turns down the other arm, and at
Lecco boards a train which brings him
back to Milan by dinner-time. It is
time enough to see everything of special
interest unless he desires to take up his
abode in this quiet retreat where he
can have an occasional whiff of the
mountain air, even in midsummer, and
a sight of the suows that forever whiten
the higher peaks of the Alps. It may
interest the classical scholar to be re
minded that the Romaus lived and culti
vated the soil about Lake Como, and
that a noble Roman of distinction, wht
might have been Seneca if heSras not
another, had a villa on its shores. Villa
is a better terra here than palace, the
grandiloquent word used by Bulwer in
his inflated play, "The Lady of Lyons."
Much of the lake is so narrow that,
as the steamer ripples in quiet waters,
you can almost throw a stone on to
either bank, and the visitor who re
members Claude and Pauline scans at
tentively the little valleys and the steep
hillsides that seem to disappear in the
clouds, if perchance he may discover a
Jialace like that which the deceitful
over described in such glowing term
to his enraptured inamorata. He re
marks nothing that corresponds to the
rhetorical architectural details of Bulwer.
There are some very pretty residences
along the banks, nesUinir in valleva.

can be called? with "any propriety of
speech, a palace. Towns and Tillages
abound along the entire length of the
lake, which is thirty-two miles, though
it often seems hardly possible for them
to cling to the steep hillsides, and they
are all of the Italian type, with some
variations introduced by foreign resi
dents. Como has 22,000 inhabitants,
Cemobb 720. Bellagio 2,745. Menag-no
t,2 iv. vouco o,zz, jecco 7.040. The
other towns and villages at-p generally
smaller. The vine is cultivated on the
hillsides, and a very good wine is made
at Bellagio, whose reputation, however, i
hardly transcends the horizon of the !
lake. The olive, which grows in a '
gnarled and contracted fashion, -since
it finds the climate somewhat inhospit
able, brightens the steep slopes with its
bright gfeeu foliage. The lake .has a ,
strange peculiarity. Having no suffi- '
cient outlet it is subject to inundations '
whenever unusual rains are precipitated
on its capacious watershed and run off j
quickly into it One of these, about a '
year ago, threatened to do serious dam
age to Como.
The poets have been really, or have
professed to be, singularly inspired by
the marvelous beauties of Lake Coma
1 happened to remember some lines of
a pretty, but rather meaningless poem,
whose burden was the following couplet:
1 met my lovo ninouir the low
Kose gardens by llolhurlo.
Of course the poet did nothing of the
sort, the
pretended meeting leing all in
s eye. but the hues iwrnlexed
his mind s eye. but the iiues iwrnlexed
me because I could not really tell
whether the place where he had his
alleged felicity was Bellagio or Menag
gio, there being so many aggios and
eggios in Italy that the mind guts quite
perplexed in trying to disentangle them.
There was certainly nothing in Bel
lagio that could be called a rose garden
in the sense in which the Persian poets
used the term, nor even as aCalifornian
reared in a land of roses, would under
stand it, and I could not conceive that
Menaggio, which I could see a mile or
so off on the other side, had anymore
luxurious floral accessories. Gardens
there were, but they were in no wise re
markable and theroses or rose bushes
in them were uot abundant It is thus
that tho poets beguile the people with
their vain imaginings! Bulwer had
seen a groat many palaces before he
wrote, but it is uncertain that he bad
then seen Lake Como, while the other
rhymester may have seen the lako, but
came from a land where one rose made
a summer, and the few in its gardens
seemed a profusion.
Lake Como is in its way quiet and
beautiful It is really a place of retire
ment and repose, where the native life
is dull aud silent and foreigners come
rather to add to the quiet than to dis
turb it The passage of the steamer is
a little feature of activity in the land
scape, its landing at the wharves of
the tranquil villages, with the bustle of
arrival and departure, are the unim
portant events which give the day all

Lying in Wait for Simons.
"That explosion of powder in a store
down tho river puts me in mind of a
persoual experience," said a Detroiter
yesterday. "I was living in Missouri,
aud the country store at which 1 used to
trade was kept by a man named Simons.
He was a queer, cranky old chap, having
his own ideas about everything, ami,
while he always kept in stock several
Kegs oi gunpowder, lie insisted on
storing them for his own convenience.
without reference to the danger. A
twenty-five pound keg always sat on tho
counter within ten feet of his weighing
scales, and the very first time I eutered
the 9ipj;e.,the old man weighed out a
pounufor a customer and kept a lighted
pipe in his mouth all the time. There
were twenty people inside, but I was
the only oue to skip out Tho others
bad got used to it I felt it my duty to
waru Simons agaiust such terrible care
lessness. He heard me through and re
plied: "Stranger, mebbe you had better
patronize some other store. I'm most
too old to want advice from boys.-"
"There was no other store within
seven miles, and I therefore continued
to trade with tho old man, though he
seemed down on me forever after that
Oue night I drovo up after something
and found fully twenty men in the
store, most of whom were smoking.
There were three kegs of powder on the
counter this time, aud when, 1 heard a
customer usk for a pound I slipped out
of doors and didn't stop running for
half a mile. I waited for half an hour,
but no explosion toot place. When I
returned jnost of the men had gone. I
got my goods, mounted my horse, and
set off for the lead mine, wondering
how it was that Providence fooled
around with the old man so long. I
had noticed powder scattered on tho
counter, aud the wooden plug was out
of one of tho kegs. I was about a mile
away when my horse seemed to be lifted
off the ground, and there came a
rumble as if an earthquake had broken
loose. Fences along tho roadside were
leveled, and I heard glass breaking in
farm-house windows. I knew what nad
happened, aud I turned and rode back.
When 1 reached the site of the storo
there was simply a great hole in the
ground. Tho building had been scat
tered for half a mile around. Old

Frightening a Senator.
Senators Beck and Vodrheos have

of practical jokers. Mr. Pugh, of Ala

iant combination. President Sherman

the younger senators to the chair when
he tfesires a rest in order to give them
Fracticc as presiding officers. Senator

him a note, "it informed him that as
soon as Senator Logan, who was then
speaking, sat down a complicated point
of order would be raised. He was re
quested to hold the chair against all
comers aud decide in favor of his party.
The result of tho communication was
appalling. The big, -good-humored
Alabamian began to grow pale and
made covert motions to John Sherman
in the hope that he would relieve him.
It Is impossible to imagine that Mr.
Sherman was in the plot but it was
some time before the anxious chairman

Victoria Canine Pet.
In the kennels of her Majesty Queen
Victoria at Balmoral Castle in Scotland
is an enormous St Bernard dog, which
is almost as great a favorite with the
gracious ruler of the United Kingdom
as was her faithful henchman, the late
John Brown.
-Odin,-' as he is called, measures
nine feet from tip of Moto tipof tail.
and stands nearly lourJeet nign.
That dog," said Mr.-Wolie, late of
the beer-brewing firm of .Engle & Wolfe
of this city, as he showed a picture of the
beast to a correspondent the other day,
"was once my property. That was fully
twenty years ago, and I kept him in my
summer-garden here in Philadelphia to
frighten young, fellows who refused to
pay for their beer, and to bounce those
who became unruly. One night there
was a crowd in the placo, and a well
dressed man, just a little bit boozed,
persisted in treating all around again
and again. Finally he started for the
Sate without paying, and I ordered tho
otto seize him. Did he seize? Well,
1 should say so. In a twinkling he had
him by the back of the neck and had
hauleu him to tho ground.
" -Call the brute off!' yelled the man.
" 'Pay up and I will,' I replied.
"Finding that resistance was in vain
he paid his bill, and then he said he
wanted to buy the dog. I had no idea
ho was in earnest, out I told him he
could have tho beast for $250. lie
counted out the bills, and, taking the
St. Bernard dog by the collar, walked
him out of the garden.
"The next year," tho brewer said,
"the gentleman sold the animal to a
New York geutleman for $1,000. and
the New York gentleman took -Odin,'
as he is now called, tg England with
him.
"He was walking in Hyde Park with
him one day wbeu the Queen drove by.
She was so much attracted by his great
size that she stopped her carriage and
called to him, and the brute went to her.
She patted his head, and by means of
one of her equerries inquired whether
his owner would sell him.
-'The owner said that 700 would buy
the shaggy old boy, and the Queen sent
back word to him that he could consider
him bought. She took the gentlemen's
address and the next day a messenger
with the money in crisp Bank of Eng
land notes arrived at his lodgings, paid
the price, and took away the dog that
but a lew years betore nad been
bouncer' in a Philadelphia beer-garden."
