A FEW SUPERSTITIONS.
oiue or the Charms" Formerly Used to
Prevent SIcknesi. '
To allay hemorrhage, n toad, well dried
in the son iaud put into a bag, was bang
round the neck by a string sufficiently low
to touch the region of the heart; and a
preparation of garlic and honey smeared
on the person was said to act as a charm
against the bites of dogs and teptiles, or
the sting of nnmerons insects, likewise ef
fecting their care. Toothache could be
charmed away by a few leaves of the
"shepherd's parse," placed in the solo of
the shoe on the reverse side of the body to
that in which the tooth was aching. An
excellent recipe for weak or sore eyes was
the expressed juice of the calyx of the red
honeysuckle; provided always that the
flowers were gathered kneeling, repeaticq
nine paternosters in honor of the trinity,
nine more "to greet Oar Lodye," and a
creed, ltest and sleep were required after
application.
Another 'prescription for the eyes much
in favor with Anglo-Saxons was a paste of
the strawbery plant and pepper, diluted
with sweet wine. Children were passed
through the split stem of a tree for the
cure of the riekots, but the fracture must
be afterwards bound up sufficiently tight
to insure cohesion. For ague a very well
salted herring, split open, was applied, us
hot as possible, to the soles of the feet.
It might be also mitigated by the habitual
wearing round the neck of an emerald a
gem equally potent in epilepsy. Precious
stones were accredited wiih marvelous
powers over the moral qualities and affec
tions, as well as physical disease hence
the origin of their beiug set in rings and
worn. The teeth of old age were fied
firmly in the gams by an infusion ot
powdered jet; while water in which the
beryl had been steeped afforded a valuable
wash for strengthening the eyes, besides
insuring the mutual love of a weeded

TheUreen Cheese Theory Repudiated.
Apropos of Matthew Arnold, it seems
that his son Slat had very decided opinions.
One night the boy heard some one say that
the moon was made of green cheese. Very
quickly he said:
"I don't believe the moon is made of
green cheese."
"Don't von?" said his falhei. "Why
notV"
"Ob." said the young gentleman, "I
don't know why, but I don't."
-Well, for my part," said the father,"!
have no respect for persons who give opin
ions for which they can give no reasons."
Young Mat was very much mortihed and
went off by himself to hide his feelings.
The next morning, as bright as possible,
he greeted his father with this:
"I kuow now why the moon is not made
of green cheese. I found it out in Gen
esis." "Ah," said Matthew Arnold, sr., "you
have the advantage of me. I did not know
the subject was mentioned in Genesis."
"O, yes, papa," said the boy, "there is on
account of the creation, and the moon was
made before there were any cows."
So Matthew the younger triumphed over
Matthew the elder.

Ob, this world is full of worry.
Full of trouble, grief and care)
And we often think there isn't any uso
In trying to breast the billows,
Surging backward to dispair.
Often 6ink beneath oppression and abuse.
But the sun of righteous judgment
Shines as brightly as of old.
Though the murky clouds ot slander fill the sky ;
And, though darkness overwhelm you,
Keep your courage stout and bold,
There are better days a-comlng by and by.
Have yon toiled through light and darkness,
Bummer's heat and winter's cold,
Resting not, that your ambition von migbt win,
And at last when almost ready
On your treasure to lay hold,
Been defrauded by the stealthy hand of tiu?
Do not sink beneath reverses,
Keep your heart and purpose true ;
Though the sullen cloud of wrong is rolling high.
It will one day part asunder,
And the blessed light shine through ;
There are better days a-comiug by and by.
Then, whatever your condition,
In the checkered field of life,
Do you lead the van, or struggle in the rear,
Have a courage firm, uudaunted.
Quailing not from manly strife.
And a heart that is not chilled by cringing fear,
And if, after all your efforts,
Fortune frowns upon j our plant.
Hold your ground and still aloft your colors fly ;
Just beyond the rolling billows
Stretch the yellow, Banlit sand.
There ere better days a-couiing by and by.

MY FIRST CASE.
I1Y AN ENGLISH DETECTIVE.
Yes, sir, I call it my first case, be
cause it was the first of any importance
in -which I was engaged, and because,
thanks to the happy chance of which I
am going to tell you, it gave me a start
in my career which I have never iost.
It was one morning several winters
ago when a diamond merchant who had
reported a loss of diamonds worth $20,
000. Further than that the house was
in Soho, I need not give any particulars
of this gentleman's name or addre3s.
I was then very young to be entrusted
with so important a case, but we wero
busy at the time, and my chief was kind
enough to express his faith in my
ability.
I had not been ten minutes in the
house before I saw that I had before me
a task of no little difficulty. The room
in which I stood was oblong in shape.
One end was occupied by a large win
dow looking on the .street. Standing
with your back to the window, on the
right hand side, was a fireplace, on the
left the door; between them stood a
large square table; above which was
the chandelier with four oi five lights.
Against the right hand wall some little
distance from the fireplace stood a large
safe facing into the room. Save one or
two chairs there was no other furniture
in the room. It was from the safe that
the diamonds in question had been
stolen. But there was the puzzle the
safe had been drilled open, a work which
must have taken at least an hour and a
half, and the room remained all night
with the blinds drawn np aud the gas
lighted, in full view of the passers-by
in the street and of the policeman on
the beat, who passed every half hour.
There were two keys of the safe one
in the possession of Mr. and the
other belonging to his son. The custom
was that the old gentleman left the
office first and went home to his place
at Dnlwich, the two clerks, left at G
o'clock, and the son was usually the
last to leave, locking the sufe and see
ing that all was left in security. The
'other rooms in the house were let out as
offices, but all the tenants left before 5
o'clock, and when Mr. 's office was
locked up the only occupants of the
house wero tho caretaker and his wife,
who lived in the attic.
The robbery had been discovered by
Mr. on his arrival first at the of
fice on the morning in question. He
had been followed by his clerks and his
son in the order named, and I found all
four present when I reached the house.
On making inquiries I found that Mr.
himself had locked the safe on the
previous evening. The clerks had
gone as usual at C, and Mr. , hav
ing had to remain later than usual, saw
everything clear before his departure.
He and his son left together, the father
going home and the son going to dine
with a friend, with whom he went to
the theater and at whose house he
slept. The housekeeper had twopt
and cleaned the offices as usual and had
finished work by 8 o'clock, at which
hour she and her husband went up
stairs to their own rooms at the top of
the house. They did not come down
again that night aud heard no noise.
I felt little difficulty as to the en
trance or exit of the thief. He might
have entered the house at any time on
the previous afternoon and, as there
was more than one unoccupied room in
the house, have lain perdu till it was
time to commence operations; and, as I
found a window at the back of the
house unfastened. I corn-tailed he had
made good his escape through the yard
and by way of a low w all into an ad
joining court. But how had he been
able to worl: so long without attracting
attentidh from any one? The street was
not a busy thoroughfare, but there must
have been some wayfarer, despite the
fact that the night had been au inclem
ent one, and, a3 1 have said, a police
man passed every half hour. I made a
careful inspection of the room, but
found nothiug save a broken piece of
amber from the mouthpiece of a pipe.
On looking at the walls I noticed at op
posite sides of the room, high up near
the cornice, two marks, as thongii nails
had been torn out of the plaster,
but

could give me no information.

He had
never noticed them before, but
they
might be old marks for all he knew.
I then pioceeded to make iuquries:
first a to the whereabouts of the clerks
on the night in quetiu. Mr. had
told me he h.ul no suspicions as to their
integrity, bn, of course it was my bnsi-ne-s
to make sun-, and I found they
weit- ab!c to accmut for their time quite j
h.ilifactoiiiy. The policeman who had
been on duty ct:iid not help me. He
had passed each half-hour but had seen
nothing suspicions. A number of per
sons had i aa-ed up and dowuthe street,
but he had only recognized one man, a
chemist, v.h' lived on an adjoining
btieet. Application to this gentleman
eHciteo nothing further. Ha had passed
down the --tree: between 10 and 12
on his waj hou;e aud hid looked at the
lighted wiadjw a twul but there was
certainly no on ii th" window theu. I
returned to l!-il:n?r:e-i to ma'te my
prelimiua'-y re ,t 1 directed that
careful iu.tui U mV. -vitii a ue to
identifying, if possible, any persons who
were in the street throughout Ihe night
Well, sir, for two days t was at my wit's
fend. All our endeavors proved fruit
less and the more I turned the matter
over the more hopeless I felt.
On the third day I was passing
through B street and looked in to
see my brother, who was laid np
through an accident. He lodged in
rooms over the shop of a house and
sign painter, who had a small but a
fairly prosperous business. On leaving
him I came down to the shop to give
some instructions to his landlord and
whilst I was talking to the latter he
was called away for a few minutes.
Amusing myself by looking about me,
my eyes were attracted by the rough
sketch of a safe which was lying on the
couuter.
Although my head was full of safes,
as you may suppose, I doubt if I should
have looked twice at this one. had it
not been that the sketch was an exact
copy of the safe in which I was so much
interested, and which, I should have
explained, was of peculiar appearance
in that it was much narrower in propor
tion to its height than is customary.
On the painter's return 1 held up the
sketch and asked him if he had gone in
for a new line of business. "Well, ye3,
sir," ho said, Iaughling. ''That's a
sketch I used in my first attempt at
sceue painting. A young fellow for
whom I've done a little business came
in the other day aud persuaded me to
paint him a scene for some private
theatricals he was getting up. It rep
resented the wall of an office and that
safe stooil in one corner. He was good
enough to say that I succeeded veiy
well, and he told ine afterwards that it
had given great satisfaction."
Well, sir, the whole thing tU-dn-d on
me iu a moment. My gentleman had
hung up this drop scene in front of the
safe, and the room then piesented its
ordinary appearance to the street, while
behind this ingenious screen he had
been able to "work his wicked will"
upon the safe at his leisure. To cut a
long story short, the painter gave me
such information a3 enabled me to put
my hand on this amateur actor, and he
was in due course tried, convicted and
punished, while we were able to recover
a large portion of the stolen diamonds,
greatly to Mr. A s satisfaction.

Almost all monkeys which one see-
in the United States, come from (Jor
gona, a little village which is situated
a short distance from the Panama liail
road. The inhabitants of this district
are mostly native negroes for no white
man could bear the climate without
drinking plenty of whisky and almost
constantly swallowing quinine. The
whole region is marshy and covered
with extremely profuse tropical vegeta
tion. At night there arises a thick va
Kr, laden with fever, which hangs
over the woods like a cloud.
The region of wood is the paradise of
the monkeys. Tkcy travel in troop3
around the woods, led by an older
monkey. When the people receive the
information that the "traveling monkey
troops" are near the village, they re
pair to tho woods in crowd 4 to
chase them. Their plan is very- simple.
They cut a hole in a coconnut largo
enough for a monkey's paw. The nut
is then hollowed out, and a piece of
sugar is placed in it. A piece of string
h then fastened to it and it is placed in
it. A piece of string is then fastened to
it and it is placed in tho road of the ap
proaching monkeys. It is known that
monkeys are very inquisitive animals.
Sure enough they see the "lonesome'
cocoanut in the grass, and hurry to ex
amine it thorongly. It is a curious sight
to see how they climb from the trees,
chattering, to take a good view ol tho
concern.
It docs not take them long to find out
that the inner part contains a piece of
sugar. One of the boldest and greed
iest sticks a paw into the nut to get the
sugar and grasps it as tightly as he
can. But his fist is so large that he
cannot draw it out of the hole again
with the sugar, which he holds fast to
cost what it may. The negroes now
pull the string until nut and monkey
arrive in the vicinity of their ambus
cade. In the meantime the other mon
keys wonder what is the matter vith
their comrade. They hurry to see
where he is being pulled to with his
paw in the cocoanut. They crowd
around him, chattering and gesticulat
ing to their heart's content.
Now the great moment has come. The
negroes have a large net ready and they
spread it out over the unsuspecting
monkeys and before they know it they
are prisoners. They are sold to the em
ployes of the Panama railroad aud reach
the North American market through
commercial dealers. Brooklyn Eagle.

The Siam papers contain an account
of the imprisonment in Bangkok of a
Turkish subject, named Belitski, foi
seven months without being In ought to
trial by the Siamese authorities. His
offense was that, having lately arrived
in Bangkok from Hong Kong, he had
addressed to his wife, Madame Char
lotte Belitski, Toruovie Seimeu, Rou
nielia, Turkey, a postcard, on which
the following was written in the Ger
man language:
'-Baugkok, December 7, 186S. Here

the women go about half naked. All
vices flourish here a paradise for prob

Siam is a genuine Wallachian country.
It is the wildest country I have ever
seen in my travels.
"Bobep.t Belitski."
On the sixteenth of December, Belit
ski was arrested on a charge, as he un
derstood it, of libeling the Siamese
government. He was never brought to
trial, and waa liberated on the repre
sentation of certain British subjects.
He made his way to Batavia to lay hia
complaint before the Turkish consul
there, Turkey having no treaty with
Siam.
