CURIOUS MYTHS OF THE MIDDLE AGES.

myths of th middle ages, wauy of which onoo

TH WANDERING JBW
In the chronicles of the Abbey of St. Albans,
copied and continued by Matthew Pans, there
Is the following entry, the hrst extant notice of
the "errant Jew," under trie year 1228 A. u.i
" Eodem tempore floruit taina loiiRejlatcque dis
pesra de Josepho Cartaphila, qucm Anaolas

and the same curonlc.ler records at lenetn tne
visit to the abbey of an Armenian arebb shop,
who. by his Interpreter, communicated to tuo
monks minute particulars resperHn this wan
aering Jew, derived from personal knowledge:

who also baptised St. Paul, and was called Joseph.'
"Of this Joseph the Armenian bishop wort on
lo say that he dwelt in Armeuin and the East,
fs
rreatij auected toe society 01 uiuup3 nun iiu
fo. n,u rtrnunipneet. silent, and charitable.
and did not speak except when spoken to, and
then only to tea or onrtsis Buiicnug, ucmu,
Bud resurrection. He was very tenuciom at to
the character and rank of hia questioner, and
TPry Indifferent in the matter ot gilts fond, and
raiment. 01 Ibid Jew, or his double, Mr. bur
in K Gould collects many and various accounts
from the Netherlands, from BobeinU and
from Arabia, where he seems to have passed
or Elijah, but none ot these preseut any
considerable discrepancy from the account ol
the Armenian bishop, until we come to the tei
timony of Paul von Kitzen, Doctor of the Holy
Scriptures and Bishop of Schleswi?, who de
clared that when he was young, in the winter
of 1647 A. D. 'on Sunday, in church, he ob
served a tali man, with his balr hanging over
liis shoulders, standing barefoot during the.
sermon, over against the pulpit, listening with
deepest attention to the discourse; and when
ever tbe name of Jesus was mentioned, bowing
himself profoundly and humbly, with sighs and
beating ol the breast, lie had no other cloth
ing in the bitter cold of winter except a pair of
"bote which were in tatters about bis feet,
and a coat with a girdle which reached to his
feet; bis general appearance was that of a man
cl fifty years.'
"Alter church the doctor obtained an Inter
view with the stranger, and elicited information
which, though more clrcumstautial than the
Armenian bishop's story, differed irorn it mate
rially. The Jew gave uis name as Ahasuerus,
and professed that he bad been an unbelieving
cobbler at the the timo ot the Crucifixion. Gaz
ing from his doorstep at the sad procession to
Calvary, be had tried to curry favor with the
Jews by hurrying Jesus forward, when he fain
would have rested a moment from his heavy
burden. Jesus looking upon him, rebuked him
in the words, 'I shall stand and rest, bat thou
ehalt go to the last day.'
"The doom presently began to work. He was
constrained to go lorth into foreign lands, and
on revisiting Jerusalem after the lapse of years,
fonnd not one stone left standing on another.
In this account, as in ot tiers, great stress is laid
on the Jew's never smiling; and in Yon Eitzen's
narrative he is made lo interpret the purpose of
God in this Judgment upon him, and to con arm
tbe truth ot his tale of mauy wanderings by sub
mitting to have his knowledge of Eastern geo
graphy and history tested by the Rector ot the
Hamburg University. Another new feature is
his strong indignation at any profane use of
Christ's name.
"Ibis was In 1547. He la spoken to at Madrid
and Vienna in tbe same centnry, but, as the
world waxes older, writers evince a care to say
little of him on their personal testimony. Bulen
ger. In the history of his own time, takes espe
cial pains to guard himself against the suspicion
of belief in this story. In 1640 two burghers of
Brussels fall in with, this ubiquitous Jew, or one
Who answers his, description, and (it does not
exactly appear why) conclude that their com
panion is 'Isaac Laquedom, the Jew who would
not let Christ rest on his door step' (p. 21). He
turns up in London at the beginning of the
eighteenth century, and seems to have won the
ear of the Ignorant, but only the ridicule of the
wealthy. The curious, however, would appear
to have questioned him pretty ritjldly over a
range ot History extending from to Crucifixion
to the Cru&adfs. He did not think much of
Arabic hietor, he professed acquaintance wJtu
Alohammed And his lather, and said he was
sojourning In rfme when Nero seWt on lire." f
Here is a description or- "

THB DIVINING BOD.
Here is a curious story, In which we use the
condensation of an English reviewer:
. "On the night of July 6, 1002, a wine-seller
and his wile were robbed and murdered in a cel
lar at Lyons. No elue could be found to the
murderers in the bottle wrapped in straw or the
bloody hedging-bill found on the morrow beside
the corpses. The authorities were urged to send
for Aymar, who, four years before had, it would
ueem, so far succeeded In the use of his divining
rod (aided, perhaps, by the terrors of a guilty
conscience in one of the accused) as to denounce
the perpetrators of a theft. With his rod, too,
be bad discovered a murder when he was look
ing for a water spring, and by the same indi
cator had saddled it, rightly or wrongly, on tbe
murdered woman's husband. He was sent
for to Lyons, and led by the authorities to
the wineshop which had been tbe scene of the
murder. Tbe rod in his band remained perfectly
fctationarv till be reached the spot where
each corpse bad lain, but then it became vio
lently agitated, as was also Aymars puiae.
G'atchinc the srpnf. as It wpre. hfi commenced
bis trail from the cellar to the shop, from the
Buup to me street, across tne Court to tne epis
copal palace, down to the gate of the Rhone.
Night Came On. Thon nil a lAinMpirl flialr
iNext morning with three officers he passed the
Rate, and descended the river's riRht bank, till
IkL101' whJlch indicated that there were
"cers, enabled him to pause in

thefr father's .order.. nd in hU absent on
Bunday morning. The men, they said had r?
tainly 'drunk out of the bottle mdicated. Some
cipcrlmenU followed, which we give In the
author's own words:
"As already stated, a hedging-bill had been
discovered on the scene of the murder, smeared
With blood, and unquestionably the weapon
witn wmcn me crime iiau wen commuted,
Three bill from the tamo maker, and of ore
eieely the same description, were obtained, and
the four were token Into garden and secretly
burird at Intervals. Avmnrwaa then brongbt,

used by the assassins, hut was motionless else
where. Still unsatisfied, the lour bills were ex
bnnied and concealed anew. The Comptroller of
the province himself bandaged the sorcerer's
eyrs, aud led him by the band from place to
place. The divining rod showed no signs of
novemerit till it approached the blood -stained
Weapon, when it began to oscillate.
"JUe magistrates now resolved to authorize a
further puri!'- Aymar was nccompauied
bv a comnanv of arrliers. 0 ft at first, then
by boat, with frequent landings wherever bis
ron denoted a tarrying pince ot tne lugitivcs, no
followed the trail to the military cattio of
Br.Llon, where be dared not use his rod without
special authority, thoueb tho violent beating of
h a pulse gave indications of a 'Ond.' Back
went he to Lyons, anl ere he could again reach
Sablon time had sped, and tho murderers, ho
asserted, bod got off. He how desceuded the
Rhone in pursuit, as far as Ueaucaire. His rod
told him that one of tho three fugitives was
there, and checked him at the town prison,
within which it singled one prisoner, a hunch
back, out of fifteen, as tbe Individual after whom
the search was Instituted. This hunchback had
Just been committed for a theft in the fair then
going on.
"lie w as led back to Lvon?, in whicn he per
flated he bad never set foot, by the exact route
along which Aymra's rod bad tracked his flight.
At every resting place he was recognized. At
Bugnols, where he aud bis comrades hal slept,
tbe taveru keeper and his wite swore to
bia Identity, and gave the same description of
his compniilocs as had been given by the
gardener's children. Hereupon tne hunchback
admitted his participation in the murder, which
be said bad been committed by two Provencals,
whose EtrvHiit ho was. His answers at his
first Intel location strongly confirmed the saga
city ot tho divining rod. The bill-book and
the hour tallied. There might be nothing in
this. But Lis confession detailed the move
ments of tbe murderers, irom tbe cellar, where
the deed was done, to the shop which was
I rcsenily rifled, and thence through the street
to tho large courtyard in which tbenigbtwas
PDsecci. rexi aay tney icu rayons, tarry
ing there Is a little discrepancy here for a
moment at a gardener's cottage. Tbe use ot
the boat, the sojourn at the military cried.
almost everything, corresponded up to the cap
ture of Beaucaire.
"To cut a lotiff storv short- Avmnr wnanrt
so successful in his search for the two princi
pals. At the prison, w here he f ancied he had
run one to the ground, he met with balk. He
mistook his man. But eventually he traced
both to the frontier, where the chase had to be
uisconunueu.
But the most Interesting part of the account
is that which shows how Aymar's powers
uescrieu mm wnen ne came up to fans, xnero
"the Prince do Conde submitted him to various
tests, and he broke down under every one.
i ive holes were dug in the garden. In one was
secreted gold, in another silver, in a third silver
ana goia, in tne lourtn copper, ana in the tilth
stones. Tbe rod made no glens in presence of
the metals, and at last actually beean to move
over the buried pebbles. He was sent to Chan
tilly, to discover tho perpetrators of a theft of
trout made in the ponds of the park. He went
rotind the water, rod in hand, and it turned at
spots where he said the nsn had been drawn
out. Then, following the track ot tho thief.
It led him to tbe cottage of one of the keepers,
but did not: move oyer any ot the individuals
then in the house. The keeper himself was
absent, but arrived late at niuht: and on
hearing what was said, he roused Aymar from
his bed, instating on having bis innocence
vindicated. The divining rod, however, pro
nounced him guilty, and the poor lellow
toot to his heels, much upon the principle
recommenaea oy iuontequieu a while
after. Said he, 'If you are accused of having
stolen the towers of Kotre-Dame, bolt at once.'
A peasant, taken haphazard from the streets,
was brought to the sorcerer as one suspected.
Tbe rod turned slightly, but Aymar declared
that the man aia not steal-tne nsn, dui ate ot
them, A boy was then introduced, said to be
the keeper's eon. The rod rotated violently at
once. This was the finishing stroke, and Aymar
was etnt away Dy tne mnce in disgrace, it
now transpired that the thclt of fish had taken
place seven years before, and that the lad was
no relation of tho keeper, but a country boy
who had only been in Chantilly eight or ten
months. M. Goyonnot, Recorder of the King's
Council, broke a window in his bouse, and
sent for the diviner, to whom he related a story
of his having been robbed of valuables duting
tbe night. Aymar indicated the broken win
dow as the means whereby tho thief bad
entered, and pointed out the window by which
he had left with his booty. As no such rob
bery had been committed, Aymar was turned
out of the bouse as an impostor."
A curious story of the uncertainty of human
events is told bv Mr. Gould. Permit? is said In hp
TApse for believing, but according to this tale
a man's eyes are not always trustworthy wit
nesses. SIB WALTER BiLEIOH IN FBISOK.
"Sir Walter, in prison, was composing the
second volume of his 'History of the World.'
Leaning on the sill of his window, he meditated
on tbe duties of tbe historian to mankind, when
suddenly bis attention was attracted by a dis
turbance in the courtyard before his cell. He
saw one man strike another wbom he supposed
by big dress to be an officer; the latter at once
drew bis eword, aud ran the former through
the body. The wounded man felled his adver
sary with a stick, aud then sank upon the
pavement. At thfs juncture the gaard came
up and carried off the officer insensible, and
then the corpse of the man who had been run
through.
"Next day, Raleigh was visited by an Inti
mate Jriena, to whom he related the the cir
cumstances. To his astonishment his friend
unhesitatingly declared that the prisoner bad
mistaken tbe whole series of incidents whioh
had passed before bis eyes. The supposed offi
cer w as not an officer at all, but the servant of a
foreign ambassador; it was he who had dealt
the first blow; be bad not drawn bis sword, but
tbe other had snatched it from his side, and had
run him through the body before any one
could interfere; whereupon a stranger among
the crowd knocked the murderer down with his
stick, and some of the ambassador's retinue
corned off the corpse. Raleigh's friend added
that the government had ordered the arrest and
immediuteltrial of the murderer, as tbe man as
sassinated was a principal servant of the Spanish
ambassador.
" 'Excuse nie,' said Raleigh, 'but I cannot
have been deceived, as you suppose; for I was
eyewituet-s to the events, which took place
under my own window, and the man fell on
that spot where you see a paving-stone standing
up above the rest.'
" 'My dear Raleigh,' replied his friend, 'I was
Bitting on that stoue when tbe fray took place,
and 1 received this slight scratch on my cheek
in snatching the eword from tbe murderer; aud
upon my word of boner you have been deceived
in eveiy particular.'
"Sir V alter, when alone, took np tbe second
volume of his history, which was in manuscript,
and contemplating it, thought, 'If I cannot
fcelisve my own eyes, how can I be assured of
the truth of a tithe of the events which hap
pened ages before I was born V and he flung the
manuscript in the fire."
