THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH. PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY APRIL 28, 18G6. GIANTS, DWARFS, AND FAIRIES. Cornwall is one of the most oriiinal and om of .the most un-Knglish of KiiRlish counties. It In tm isolated Celtic district, abutting on the oi l Saxon Irontlcr. Clinging to the past, Jealous of the new, the Cornish miners and tislicrmen, stay-at-homes theinsolves, and unvislted by many (Grangers, have retained among theui more old legends and traditions o! the past than even the V nih or the Highlnnriirs. In several pints ol Cornwall there still exist huge rocks, Raid to bare been used by tho giants when hurling or playing at athletic names. The Titans of Troerobbin and b(. Michael's Moitat olten met to play at "bob button." Tho throv was generally made from Trecrobben Hill, and the Mount was the "bob," on which huge Blubs of rock served tor the buttons. Ilohourn of the Cairn was a giant, who Is said to have mar ried a farmer's daughter. Once, when watching some Cornishmen hurling he was soploased at the eame made bv a oung peasant that In sheer eood-nnttire he kiileif him by putting him on the head. The giant ot Trebisiran was a niuoh lens benevolent son ot Anak. He is said to have dined every day on children whom he fried on a flat rock outside his cave. His arms were so long that be would snatch the sailors from ships passing by the Land's End; and sometimes, alter having hud his fun, replace them again. In some of these "drolls," it is too evident that the story-teller has well earned his name by having embroidered tho old legend, and that, too, pretty handsomely. Of these aberrations troui truth, the history of "Tom and the Giant Blunderbuss'- L, a painful example. Tom was a lazy young giant near Hatlc, aud his unwieldy rival'lived in a castle towards Ht. Ives. Tom, in driving a natron full ot beer troai market, tres passed on the giant's territory. Tho giant attacked him with his club, which happened to be, a your fj elm tree; Tom fought htm with a wheel and an axle-tree, and eventually ran htm through the bod v with the pole. As a reward for his fair flhtiog and courage, the ciunt lett Tom all the gold, copper, and tin in his castle. This cencrous giant figured for centuries In the old euise-dances at Cornish festivals. The giant Bolbtor was another hero of Titanic days. He lived on St. Acnes Beacon Hill, and the earth work near Troveuaunancp Porch still bears his name. This monster could stiui l with one foot on St. Agnes Beacon, and the other on Cam lirea Hills, six miles apart. A bad husband, he employed his wife in carrying and removing blocks of granite from hill to hill. He fell In love with St. Agnus, aud that virtuous ludy, weary ot his importunities, olfered to marry hiui if he would Clla hole in the cliff at Chapel Porlu with his blood; but as the hole opened intoths sea. unknown to the obtuse and unobservantgiant, he loll a victim to his love. The red stain still visible in the clitf snows where tun deluge of blood once poured. Nor was tho giant ot Uoran, who dug the huge intrenchmcnt there, twenty feet broad, and twenty-lour feet high, in one night, one whit wiser. The latter Bend being ill, called in a subtle doctor, who plaved him the old trick. lie grew at Inst so weak, that the great medicine-man kicked him over the cliiT and killed him. The promontory la still called the Dodman or the Dead Man. The Cupboard, a curious gorge on the coast near Portwreath, was once iho cavern ot the giant Wrath, who waited there for wrecks and drilts. Wading out to sea. he used to tie the boats to his girdle. walk back to his den, and there devour the luck less fishermen. Jack the nnkeard figures largely in the giant stories. He was a friend of that Tom who slew Blunderbuss, and was remarkable tor n bull's-htde coat, which was as tou?h as Iron He thrashed Tom at singlestick, and taught him to draw a bow with his toes, so as to kill bares and kids tbut were almost out of eight. Jack drove the enchanter Pcncerswick out ot his castle, and dug a pit lor a vicious old giant at jnorva, into wnicn jack's enemy leu, ana Drone nis wickea old necir. Very much akin to the giants, though dating Only from the seventeenth century, is the Demon Trcgeagle, that terror of Cornish chil dren. This demon, when in the flesh, was the teward to a lord down Bodmin-way; be de stroyed deeds, forged titles, and persecuted the poor. As a magistrate, he put to death uino cent persons, to hide bid own iniquities; as a landlord, he was rapacious, grinding, and un scrupulous. He is reported to have murdered his sister, and broken tho hearts of his wives and children. On one occasion, his spirit is said to have been called into court as the wit ess in a rase of a disputed title to some land. Reluctant to retire, the lawyers and churchmen were at last compelled to bind Tregeagle to empty out Dosmery pool with a pierced limpet- hell. The Dosmery is a black, lonely pool on the Bodmin moors. One night, chased by demons and hell-hoands, Trcpeagle fled to Roach rock, thrust his bead in at the east win dow of the chapel, and implored help of the kerniit. The monks of Bjdmin then gathered together, and sent the erring spirit 1 1 the shore at Podstow to make trusses of sand, and ropes of the same material, with which to bind them. Every night he packs them together; every day the breakers roll them level again. Worn out with hia howling', the priest of Pads tow ban ished him to Bareppa, and there condemned him to carry sacks of sands across the estuary of the Loo, and empty them at Porthleven, till the beach was clean dwn to the rocks. Every night the sweep of the Loo round towards the Lizard effaced the poor creature's labors. One night, however, the mocking devils tripped up the suck-bearer, and so Trcfeagle fell, and the sand pouring out, raised the bar that destroyed the harbor of llelstone Once more banished, the unjust steward was sentenced to sweep the sands from Portcurnow Cove round Tol Peden I'enwith headland. There Tregeagle still labors. His roarinars are heard during the coming storms, and on the moors his shrieks pierce the night-winds. The "merry maids," or mermaids, figure as largely in Cornish as they do in Breton mytho logy. They are descended from the Greek Sirens and the Norse water-spirits,, and are firmly believed in all through the tin country. Morva, a parish between Zennor and St. Just, is famous for them; and families still exist there w ho are supposed to have received gilts from them. At Morva they are seen as "ladies" on the rocks, going from tho shore to isolated reefs, or weeping and wailing on the beach. Pad stow harbor is said to have been choked with sand by a mermaid, in revenge lor being shot at by a fisherman. The town of Beaton, near Looe, was, tradition also says, overwhelmed with sand for a similar reason. Near the beau tiful terpentine cove of Laniorna, not far from the Lizard Cliff, a lady shows herself previous to a storm with comb, mirror, and other fitting decorations, to compensate for the fish's tail. Before a wreck, she has been heard singing plaintively, the moaning spirits along the shore echoing her lamentations. Young men are known to have swum off to the roek that she haunts, lured by her songs; but they have never returned. At Cury, near the Lizard, there exists a tradi tion. An old man welkins- inareti.'' cove, ame suddenly upon a rock on which wu,' sea.ed a beautiful girl, with fair hair so long that it covered her whole body. Alarmed at the in trusion, the mermaid slid off the rock into a deep transparent pool, and there, crying, angry, and Iriehtened, held a parley. Ii appeared she had fctraj ed from her husband and ft wily, who were asleep out of the reach ot the hot sunshine, in a cave at Kynance Cove. She implored the eld man to take her on his back to the sea, as there was a dry bar of sand now stretching between lier and her watery home. For this favor, she rave him her comb, and the power to break witches' spells, to charm diseases, to discover thieves, and to restore stolen goods. Whenever Afterwards the old man wished to see his young iriena, ue naa oniy to go 10 toe naii-tiae rock, and romb the water with the mermaid's comb. He afterwards carried the water-spirit to a secret place where, unobserved, she raiirht see the funny "people, who bad their tails split so that they mleht walk on them." The mermaid tiered to make the old man young again, but ne refused; nor wouio ne oney her wish, to visit iter nome unaer ine waves. In a valley near Perranzabuloe, by "the buried church of the sands," there Is a still wilder tra dition. The wife of a yeoman named Penna, while bathing her infant daughter in a doo amid the arched rocks ot Perron, suddenly saw the rliild, a it In a paroxysm of toy, leap from her arms, and disappear in the water. The mother's terror and aeony were soon, however, removed by the babe swimming up to the surface of the water smiling, and brightor and more beautiful than before. Tne mother saw no ditlercnce in the child, but the old rrones In the vlllago at once dubbed it a mer maid's changeling. Years passed away as thev arc in the habit of passing, and Selina Penna grew, up a beauniul woman, itie squire's nephew, urged by the praises of a malevolent man, a rciected suitor of her mother's1, saw h'T, fi ll In love with her. and seduced her. Broken hearted at her diHgraco, she died, and was burled in the churchyard cn the sands. The night after a revel, the etiuire's nephew (Waller Trewoofe), straying on the sands, heard a voice singing a dime, and passing round a rock, discovered a beautilul woman seated at the mouth ot a CHTcrn. She was like bis buried love, but she disappeared when he seized her by tho hand. On another visit to the same cavern, the maiden, as he addressed her, turned into a mermaid, who seized him in her arms. A storm rose, the w aves broke round the rock, and Wal er Tre woofe ton. too late that the vengeance of the water-xpints had overtaken him. 8' ill the mer maid clasped him, till the rca washed thorn both to tho highest pinnacle of the rocks, and then bore them out to the ocean. That night, during the fiercest of the storm, the water spirits were seen tossing from one to another the corpse of the seducer and uestrover ot one ot tiieir race. The Cornih fairies are less sprightly and more malevolent than those of Devonshire. There a) e fivo species of Cornish mires tho Small people; the Spriggans, the rboRts of the fclants who guard treasure; tho Pinkies, mischievous sprites who misleal travel lers, and rido tho farmers' horses; the Knockers, or mine spirits; and the Browneys, or domestic sprites. The Small people are by some supposed to be the o'd Druids, grndually becoming smaller and smaller, because they will not renounce their idolatry. Thev referable the elves ot Scondinavla in many of their attributes. Others imagine them to' bo the spirits of the old inhabitants of Cornwall who lived centuries before tho birth of Christ. Too bad tor heaven, too good for hell, they are condemned to remain on earth, and to grow smnller and smaller, till they turn into ants, and then perish. The Irish have almost tho same belief, only they say that the fairies ore a portion of the fallen anaels, who, less guilty than the rest, were suffered to undergo a final state of proba tion. At St. Ives there is a tradition of a poor woman, who lived on one ot the hills near Zenor church-tower, being Intrusted by the fairies with a child to nurse. By uslnir some water to wasa her eyes with liom a magic ewer, supplied bv the child's father, she became pos sessed ot the power of teeing the laities any where and at all times. Detecting the fairy faiher steuliucr fruit at St. Ives' market, her Eower became known, and the fairies put out er right eje. "hen she got homo the bov was gone, and from that hour she and her husband became poor. Scrofulous children, In Cornwall, are often supposed to bo chanecliuas. Some thirty years since n poor woman' of the hamlet of TreoniKe lost her little boy In a wood. It was found tome days alter, aleep on a bed of fern. By his own account he had been lured into the centre of the wood by supernatural music. Falling asleep, a beautiful iady appeared, and bod led him throueh the palaces of Fairyland. The (Jump of St. JuBt has always bpen notorious as the revelling ground of the Small People. On one occasion an old miner hid himself near the gurop, in hopes of seizing some ot the fairy treasure. At the due time he saw the hill open to the sound of musi;. Every blade of grass was huntr with colored glow-worm lamps, every lurzs bush sparkled with little stars. Presently appeared innumerable courtiers, soldiers, musi cians, and crowds of servants bearing vessels of silver and gold, and cups nouowed out ot jewels. Last of all, on thrones, carried on a platform, came a young prince and princess. As the marriage feast began, the old man stole round to the bock of the mound, to get nearer for a sight at the royal table. To his surprise. the mound was dark there, and as he looked over the hil lock, he was startled by seeing thousands of little eyes all intently and mischievously fixed on him. Screwing up his courage, he took off his hat, and raised it to cover the prince, prin cess, and their little table of gold plate, when a shrill whistle was beard his hand remained motionless in the air. and the banquet disap peared. There was a buzz round him, as of a flight ot angry bees, and trom head to foot he was pricked and pinched. Then he rolled down Vw. ah nl on1 lav onunfli Iudq hta ainia oiwl legs, like Gulliver's, secured by thousands of little silken strings, as tne moon snone out he saw a fairy, no larger than a dragon-fly, stamp ine on his nose, and dancing with glee. When the sun arose he found that be had been tied to the c round by gossamer webs. He shook him self, and was tree. Wet, cold, and sulky, he re- mrueu uouie iu itn urn uiitsiuiiuue 10 uis menus. This was a fairy wedding; but a fisherman of Lclant had once the good fortune to see the funeral of a oueen of the fairies. He was return ing trom St. Ives laden with pilchards, when he heard the bell of Lelant Church toll as if it was mutlled. Making his way over the waste and hills of blown baud, he looked in at a window and sav that the buildincr was illuminated. The fanes dug a little hole near the sacrament table, and placed in it the body or their queen, throw ing in urion it flowers and myrtle branches, W hen the mourners began to shriek, the turner man involuntarily shrieked too. Instantly the lichts were extinguished, and the intruder was pursued, and pricked and pinched till he had left the little folk far behind in hie maddened flight. These Small People, too.are sometimes as thiev ish as they are mischievous. Not many years since a favorite red-ano-wnite cow 01 a iuriner at bos francan ceased to give her usual quantity of milk. On the evening of one midsummer's day. the dairymaid who hod milked this cow plucked a handful of cover to put on her hat to steady the bucket. Among this clover there happened to be a stem witn lour leaves; mis gave the erirl rower to see the Small People. When she l0( ked there were thousands of them filling buttercups and loxgiove Mowers rrotn tne milk and laughing and drinking as they gathered their stolen beverage. By her mother's advice the dairymaid instantly rubbed the cow's udder with fish brine, to score the Small People. The cow never yielded much milk alter that, but pined away, and nothing throve with the farmer. The little green soots between the cairns, near the Loean Rock, are called "ihe small People's (iardeu." On summer nights music is heard there, and hundreds of little lights are seen moving among them. Far out at sea the fishermen smell the scent. By day the flowers turn to mere ferns and sea-pinks. Sometimes the fairies hold fairs. Some miners saw one once at Bal Lane, . Germoe. Next day one of them, as he told the story in the mine, ten down the "bob pit," and was killed. His companion who called fairies "wicked, spiteful devils," was thrown down stairs, and dreadfully bruised. In many fairy stories, as in "The Adventures of Cherry of Zeiinor," a pretty country girl is hired by a fairy to nurse his child. Beguiled into Futryland, where all is sunshine, and flowers "prow spontaneous in the open air," she gene rally contrives to steal some fairy ointment, annointlng her eyes with which, she is enabled to see the fairies, and all their mischievous pranks. The theft is discovered, and she is banished to earth, where she sometimes pines or becomes crazed. In the famous case of Anne JeO'enes, a laborer's daughter at St. Teath, 1626-1698. who described her adventures in Fairyland, the existence of fits is sufficient to show that the girl was either very diseased or a great liar. But the Cornwall Celts have wilder stories than those of the fairies' pranks. They believe in the Demon-horse that tempts benisfhted tra vellers to mount it; they tell of a suicide ghost risinff from its grave on the eross roads, and leaping up behind a drunken farmer, who had shouted to it. At Boscean, the well-known Spectre Bridegroom legend prevails. In the Cornish story, however, the unhappy girl is saved by a blacksmith, who, with a red-hot iron, burns her dress trom the hold of the spectre. Even in the present century, however, wild beliefs Lave sprung up lu ignorant parts of Cornwall, lust as fungi spring up inevitably trom damp and decay. A woman named Snrah Polgraln. who had lived at Ludgvan, was hung at Bodmin for the murder of her husband, a crime to which she bad been lntlgatcd by a horse-dealer, known in the district as Yorkshire Jack. On the scaffold the man appcarod, and kissed his paramour before the bolt was drawn. It was said that be had there promised to Join her after death. The horse-dealer went to sea, and on his return from tho Mediterancan in a fruit-sliiti. was washed off the dock bv an enor mous and supernatural wave, and presently, in a lightning cloud, the sailors saw the Devil, Sarah Poluraln. and Yorkshire Jack pass away out of sight. Bad weather in Ludgvan Is still attributed to the exertions ot Sarah Polgraix There is a curious superstition also at Gorn hilly, on the lizard promontory. On a large, lonely piece of water there, known as "Croft Paseo-l'ool." there is sometimes soon by nieht a phofdly vessol with Pig-sails spread. "The Ghost ot KONCwarnc'7 dates trom the reign ot James i, when fczekicl Ciosse. a low attorney, fraudu lently obtained tho estate. The ghost of ono of the Kosewames appeared to him as an old man, and led him to a cairn containing treasure. He used to appear to Crosso constantly afterwards when he was dining with his friends, to whom be had always to represent tho ghost as an idiotic and d af and dumb intruder. Worn out at last by this spiritual persecution, the attorney surrendered the ill-cotten estate to a person of the ghost's showlnjr. Crosse eventually, it is said, destroyed himself, and the ghost appeared ard rejoiced as tho bud man's funeral was pass ing by the treasure cairn. Let us now turn to the learends of the miners, since two-thirds of tho Cornishmen spend half their dnvs underground. All tin workers behove in "the knockers," or "Buccas," spirits who in dicate productive lodes by blows with invisible p'.cks and sledges. They are supposed to be the ghosts ot tnoso eld Jejys'who crucified our Lotd, and were sent as slaves by the Komau emperors to work the Corbish mines. It is certain that Jews farmed the mines in the days ot the early Notman kings. Tho miners say they often see little imps dancing and tumbling about the mine timber when they come to work. Every mine has its own tradition. At Wheal Vor, n white rubbit always appears in one of the engine- houses belorc a futal accident; it has been oiton chased, but never caught. About thirty years since, nt the same mine, a man and a boy were blown to pieces while blastiog. The euglrieraan. shocked at the mere fragments' of flesh tint were alone lett, took them on a shovel, and threw them Into the blazing furnace. From that tuna, the enelnemnn declared that troops of little black dogs haunted the place, whether it was open or shut; find it was found difficult to get men enoueh to work the machine. At Wheat Jewel, a dead hand used to be s.en cairying a lighted candle, and moving up and down the ladders. It appeared after a rather bad fellow had fallen down tho mine, aud been killed. Alter a suicide at Polbreen mine, near St. Agues Beacon, a voice used to nppear beguil ing the workmen. On one occasion, however. it mercifully called two men from a level where a inais of rock soon alter fell. The flfdiermen round the wild headlands of Cornwall have their legends also: lor sailors. living as tuey do, on an clement lull ot myste ries, are proverbially superstitious. A pilot at St. Ives told Mr. Hunt a story of how one mid night, strolling on the wharf to watch a vess el, afterwards wrecked, that he had to take into liayde. be saw a man, who retused to Bpeuk, leaning against a pott. On looking closor, the Pilot saw that there were pieces ol seaweed and btick in his whiskers; thut the flesh of his fuco and bauds looked as if it were parboiled; aud that as he walked the water "squashed" in Ins shoes. The pilot was ill six months from the fright occasioned by this apparition. All along the Cornish coast the phantom ship is also thoroughly believed in. Years ago, a vessel made signals of distress to the westward of St Ives' Head. On reaching the ship, which was schooner-rigged, and had a tight over her bews, one ot the sailors made a grasp at her bulwarks, in order to leap on board; but his hand met nothing solid, aud he fell buck into the boat as the ship and lights disappeared. The next morning a London vessel was wrecked at Gwithian, and all on board perished. The Pban torn Lights called by the sailors "Jack Harry's tights" are generally seen before a gale, and tne snip Deneio resembles the one that is suose quently wrecked. At Poithcurno Cove, near the Locran Stone mere is sometimes seeu, when the mists are risine from the marshes, n bluek sniiHrn-ri.Tpd vessel, with no one on board, that glides over the sands to Bodelan and C'bygwiden, and there vanishes. Oh whoever sees it, ill-luck is sure to fall. The Dead Ship Is another superstition pecu liar to Cornwall. Years ago a pirate, too wicked even lor his companions, was put on shore in the Priests' Cove, near Cape Cornwall. Settling at Tregaseal, the wretch lived by wrecking- beguiling vessels with false lights, and murder ing those who escaped the waves. When this man lay dying, a black vessel, with all her sails set, was seen coming into the land against wind and tide; but as the man loll back and died, it bore out to sea neain m a whirlwind, and sur rounded by lightning. At the funeral, a black pig suddenly joined m the procession. When the men reached the church stil, the storm sgain broke out, and the bearers, leaving the coflin without the churchyard sttle, rushed into the church for safety. Then came a btaze and flash ten times fiercer than the rest, and the coflin was seen to fly burning through the air. The huge greenstone rocks of an island near St. Ives are connected with a curious supers'.! tion. Some years ago a vessel was wrecked mere, ine men who went ott to the rescue found on board a lady, who held a child in her arms. She refuted to part with her charse: and in draw ing her by a rope trom the vessel to the boat, the child was lost in the boiling waters, On recovering her senses, and hesring of the child's death, the lady pined away, and soon alter uieo. bnortiy atter her burial, however. her spirit was seen to puss over the wall or the churchyard, traverse the beach, and walk on to the island, lucre she spent hours looking among the rocks, and as day broke, returned to the land, and disappeared near her grave. When the nights are very tempestuous or dark, she carries a corpse-light lor a lantern; but on line niirhts she makes' her seirch without a light. This apparition is supposed to predict disasters to teamen. Nor are the bardv sailors of Cornwall without other omens and "warnings. The parts of the shore where wrecks have taken place are otten haunted. At l ight, before the comiug of storms, the voices of dead sailors are heard calling their own numes. Forth Towan is the scene of a wild bcliel. A fifditrman walking one night on the sands, when ail was silent, except the lip and whisper of the tide, distinctly heard a voice from the sea, ex claiming three limes: "The hour is come, but not the man!" At that moment a black lignrc appeared on the top of the cliff, then rushed im petuously down the steep path, over ihe sands, and wub lost in the sea. Very olten local phenomena have given rise to superstitions intended to account for them. At Sennen Cove there is sometimes seen a hand of opuoue misty vapor that stretches across the bay. it is supposed to be a warning to fisher men not to venture out, as it was always fol lowed by a severe storm. Once when it ap peared, a wicked old fisherman, 6ecing the weather still fine, ventured out, and bea. the log with a flail, to drive away the "hooper," as he impiously said. The boat passed through the bar of thick fog and went to sea; but a storm soon after rose, and it never returned. The "wraith," as the Scotch call such au ap parition, is not uncommon in Cornwall. It foretells the death ot the person it resem bles. They tell a story oi a wraith of this kind that was seen forty years ago by a smuggling farmer at Newlyn. A boat laden with ankers of spirits was starting at Mullion Cove for New lyn. At the last moment, one of the crew, re membering he bud business at Helstone, was left behind. On his return from Helstone, as he passed the top of Ualzaphroo cliff, he met all the men. with their hair and clothes dripping wet. The boat and crew were never heard of more; and the farmer whs so affected by the circum stance, that.he pined and died shortly after wards. The Innumerable stories of witches and gene ral supi'rsUlioiis, as well as the Interesting, le gends of the early saints, we have no room to touch on. We bave given, we think, enough to snow that Cornwall is second to no district ot Luropo in tho wlldness, variety, and oriitnality of its legpudit. Long may it be before the blown sand hills, the great clltrs ot jointed granite, the 'desolate moor. rough with burial mounds, and the little coves, where the sand Is so soft and white,' and the rocks, so emoraidine under the sea, ceflse to be haunted by such associations. lint, while amusinir ourselves with such curious remains of bygone mythologies and old beliefs, ao not let us lorget mat tney are proois or igno rance to be lamented,; and education still la mentably Insuflicient. They glvo false notions of the Divine mile and Governance; and are. how- over oettcal, too palpably relics ot an old pa ganism, that ran never blond thoroughly with Christianity. To the antiauarv and poet, the ethnologist and the student 01 mythologies, they will always be valuable and interesting objects of study; but, as popular bciicis, tbo sooner thoy become obso lete, we think, the better.
