A Palace here, a People there,
Face to face rainy air "< ; ;:
For the rain is raining heavily,
And the sick day shutting a bloodshot eye
The People, no' where a while ago,
Now here, now there, now everywhere.
And, of all in the Palace, none doth know
Where the. eople may be, ere is done'
Thislaseof two disastrous days,
g fast with watery rays.
Quick, Fancy! ere ite light be gone,
From out of the many 'tis darkening on
Ban me a single face. This.one..
8r01de,. , 11 of satin, as best befits,
Is-the gilded chair where the urchin sits,
Whose grandsitts all earth's greatest were
In graudenr, when the grand were great ;
For the childhood of this child is heir
To u Telly's old age.
The late
•
Sunbeam, now sinking in his hair,
FWeary of strife with a rainy sky),
aintly, solemnly, lingers there
With a sorrowful glory, soon to die;
As all things must, some day, whene'er
Time disavows them: Time knows why
O'er kingdoms twain thou wert born to reign,
Bourbon child of the Hapsburg mother!
Life's fairest, one ; and earth's ' the other;
France and youth. Of all the train
Of those the wondering world admires,
Lords and Ladles, Knights and 'Squires,
Long. robed Senator severe,
Itoyal Duke, and Princely Peer—
They 'whose heads be Heads of France,
To whom, with a sullen countenance,
Hungry hundreds crook the knee,
None but boweth the head to thee,
Little child! Whose face is one
Of .a group that all are gone.
For, since thou, 0 child, didst flee,
Who knows where? from human sight;
Never child, king-born, like thee,
Bath beep born to absolute right;
Bons of kings no more can be
guaranteed as thou wert then,
Of the servitude of men.
Nearest thou the sounds outside ?
'nearest thou the sounds within?
In the neighboring chamber Pride
Stoops, in colloquy with fear;
Iriounier's loyal cares begin ;
Prudence plucks at Lafayette;
Orleans.with sniky_stride
Is philosophizing yet ;
Chartres has Louis by the ear;
Necker rubs a ruminant chin.
Outside in the twilight drear
Swells th' ominous surly din.
See! the child is playing now
With his sister's silky tresses ;
To whose infantine white brow
Lips as white a mother presses,
Are not children safe from harm,
Circled by a mother's arm?
In the chair where sits the child
Smiling, long since sat and smiled
Him men named the "Grande Monarque,"
Ah, the light is lading dark!
Through the palace windows wide
What is still so dim described
In the pale persistent rain ?
Is the deluge back again ?
And wt at wreckt world's groaning ark
There emits its monstrous, train
To new-people earth with pain?
Men or beasts? What are they? Mark!
&est thou? hearest thou, little child?
Haggard faces; women wild;
Men red-handed, blood-defiled;
Heroism and Hope and Hate, •
Hunger, Horror, Wrath and Crime,
Mingling in the march of Fate
Life a grotesque with Love's sublime ;
Ragged wretches grim and stark,
Smiling as they never smiled
Till this moment; jaw of shark
Gaping at a drowning . ship ;
Eye of tiger; lion's grip;
Stormy starvelings, smutcht and soiled,
Thick through gardeii, court and park,
Round that palace terrace-piled
Teeming,:tossing, trampling Hark !
First a growl and then a howl
Voice of a vast tormented soul,
And then a shrill, heart -breaking bark,
And now an immense mnrtherous roar,
Nearer, drearer ' more and more—
The famisht wild beasts roar for bread!
Suddenly the child's hand ceased
Its sport among the tiny tresses
Of the little golden head
Backward bent to its caresses;
All those tumbled curls released;
While the pouting child-lips said,
"Mother, 1 am hungry !"
Cry
Of the poor man's child, supprest
In a people's starving breast,
For so many wicked years!
Cry no law could longer smother
In the lawless, lifeless past !
By what strange revenge of chance
Didst thou thus ascend so high, •
From what depths of woo upcast,
As to smite the heart of a mother,
Heard in the unwilling ears
Of a listening Queen.of France,
From a Dauphin's lips at last?
AN IDOLATROUS CERERIONT•
now the Japanese Worship—A. Re
porter Witnesses a Sunday Devo
tion—The Japs Praise their God,
Coax and Treat their Satanic Ma
jesty, and Lat Coals of Fire by the
Dozen—liVho Wouldn't be a Jap
(From a Milwaukee paper.)
In their religious ceremonies, as in every
thing else, the Japanese are a peculiar people.
There are so many companies of the "natives"
visiting the United States, and so many
Americans visiting Japan, that we are in a
fair way to learn something of the "sealed
country."
On Sunday last we were particularly fortu
nate in being a witness to one of the religious
ceremonies of the Japanese, one which was
evidently brought from their fatherland in all
its native barbarity—the monthly fire-eating.
The performers were the company now trav
eling in the West. They came to this city on
Sunday, and remained here until . Monday
morning. Fusi-Yams, the father of the flock,
- is a venerable old Japanese, more than sev
enty years of age. He seems to feel as though
the souls of the company had been intrusted
to his keeping, and woe be to the unlucky
one who has an inclination to stray from the
ways of their fathers. One of Fusi-Yama's
peculiar rites is that of fire-eating, and this is
practiced the first Sunday of every month.
.:On Sunday, after making many promise,s that
we would not indulge in any undue levity on
the'occasion, we prevailed on Mr. Wilder,the
manager,to allow us to witness the ceremony,
and were secreted in the room while it was
progressing.
About 10 o'clock, Fusi-Yama, with the
saps, some' ten in number, came into the
room. On a table in the centre of the room
stood their god, an ordinary looking wooden
image, about a foot high, that ran to body
and head more than to legs. Near the win
dow stood another table on which was a
most hideous little wooden image. This was
° the Japanese devil. It is doubtful if a more
vile-looking object could be cut out of wood
than was this same devil. All the Jape, and
particularly Fusi-Yami, seemed to stand in
great fear of the image, and most anxious to
keep in its good graces, by pandering to its
appetite,for on the table were apples; raisins,
oranges, cake, and several kinds of wine. As
the devil's table seemed to be so well pro
vided for, while that of the Japanese god con
tained nothing, we incidentally inquired Why
this was thus, and were told that the god was
satisfied with prayers and promises, while
the devil, to keep anything like a reasonable
being, must be stuffed with the choicest bite,
and even then he was not entirely to be
depended_ upon.
When the Japanese first came to this coma
2"*T
try, they were partiCularin their 013'0mM:tee,
and were eareful to keep the devil's table Well
supplied. One of the agents of the company,
thinking the articles too good tvs be wasted,
stole them away.. Fug-Yams would look at
the empty plates, shake his head, and declare
be had never seen a devil eat so much as his
did since it bad been in this country. One
morning, however, he caught the .tricky
agent, and his indignation knew no bounds.
He vented his wrath in tones both loud and
deep, and uttered threats. He said he would
buy all the fruit and wine the agent wanted,
but be must "no robbee devil any more,cau se
he make bad work wid em." Since that time
the devil has bad his own.
Upon entering the room,
Fusi-Yama and
the Japanese fell prostrate before their god
and poured forth what was no doubt intended
for a fervent prayer. The heads of all hugged
the carpets as close as possible, and there
was indication of earnest piety in their tone.
This lasted for a few moments; and then all
arose and bowed three times. This was de
signed as a promise that they would be faith
ful. Then all fell prostrate before the devil,
and commenced a wail-like chant, sorrowful
!enough in its tone. Before the image they
bowed time after time, chanting in a rapid,
uncouth manner. This, as we afterward
learned, was a sort of earnest entreaty to the
Evil One that he would not molest them,they
in turn, promising to feed him well. All the
Japanese have an idea that • the devil can, if
,he wishes, do them harm while they are per
forming, and no efforts are spared to concili
ate him. They do not believe in kindness
and coaxing altogether, for the salt which is
distributed so bountifully before a feat is
attempted is supposed to have no little effect
in keeping his Satanic Majesty away.
The entreaty to the devil was kept up fully
twenty-five minutes, and then the Japs arose,
bowed three times, and felt evidently that the
Evil One had been sufficiently importuned.
Now came the strangest part of the cere
mony. A dozen ' pieces of pine wood, each
about an inch square, were produced. These
Fusi-Yama took, placed on the coals in the
grate, and while the remainder of the compa
ny fell on the floor, the old fellow fanned
the block% jabbering all the time until they
were real coals. They were then taken from
the fire On a plate, still snapping and cracking
from the flames. All the company
commenced a most doleful chant, or
rather howl, while Fusi-Yama rolled up his
eyes, commenced eating the burning mass,
block at a time, carrying them to his mouth
with his fingers. There was something
startling ahout the manner in which it was
done, something that almost made us believe
that the devil had left the little wooden image
and taken possession of the old Jap in earn
est. There was no delusion about the matter,
no slight-o' hand show. There were the coals
spitting and burning, alive, and as hot as
coals could well be, and there was the Jap
eating them as fast as his teeth could crush
them and his palate work them down. Ile
appeared to experience no pain, but rather to
relish the outrageous food, while his friends
kept up their dolorous cry.
At least a. full dozen of these coals were
devoured—one after the other, and rapidly.
A man's insides:must be made of iron, one
would think, to do such work, but the vene
rable Fusi-Yama did it as though it were
something he liked to do. As the last coal
went down the Japs ceased their howlings,
and all stood up. Fusi-Yama washed his
mouth out with a glass of wine, wiped it,
and fanned himself', while the Japs, their
*Ceremonies over, were as happy as a lot of
Shakers after attending a tuneral, or a lot of
convicts just sent to Waupun for a long term.
Reporter escaped trom the room as soon as
possible, satisfied that the Japs must be a re
markably funny set of people any way you
can fix it.
Perilous Balloon ASCentillo6.
One dull day in autumn, just after noon, a
balloon rose into the air at the foot of Cleets
Hills, on the western edge of the great central
plain of England. It was inflated with the light
est of gases which chemical skill could pro
duce. It rose with amazing velocity. A
mile up, and it entered a stratum of cloud
more than 1,000 feet thick.
Emerging from this, the sun shone brightly
upon the air-ship; the sky overhead was of
the clearest and deepest blue; and below lay
cloudland an immeasurable expanse of
sloud, whose surface looked as solid as that
of the earth, now wholly lost to view. Lofty
mountains and deep dark ravines appeared
below; the peaks and sides of these cloud
mountains next the sun glittering like snow,
but casting shadows as black as if they were
solid rock.
Up rose the balloon with tremendous velo
city. Four miles above the earth! A pigeon
was let loose; it dropped down through the
air as if it had been a-stone. The air was too
thin to enable it to fly. It was as if a bark,
laden to the deck, were to pass from the
heavy waters of the open sea into an inland
unsaline lake—the bark would sink at once
in the thinner water. Up, up, still higher !
The spectrum, when opposed to the sun,
showed marvelously clear; lines appeared 1
which are invisible in the denser atmosphere
on the earth's surface; but as the car swung
round in its gyrating upward flight, the mo
ment the direct rays of the sun passed off the
prism there was no spectrum at all. The
air was so pure; so free from the compara
tively solid aqueous matter that there was no
reflected light: the air was too thin to retain
or reflect any portion of the rays which fell
upon it.
And what a silence profound ! The heights
of sky were as still as the deepest depths of
ocean, where, as was found during the search
for the lost Atlantic cable, the fine mud lies
as unstirred from year to year as the dust
which imperceptibly gathers on the furniture
in a deserted house. klo sound, no life—only
the bright sunshine falling through a sky
which it could not warm. Up five miles
above earth—higher than the inaccessible
summit of Chimborazo or Dewangiri. De
spite the sunshine, everything freezes. The
air grows too thin to support life even for a
few minutes.
Two men only are in that adventurous
ballocin—the one steering the air-ship, the
other watching the scientific instruments and
recording them with a rapidity bred of long
practice. Suddenly, as the latter looks at
his instruments, his sight grows dim; he
takes a lens to help his sight, and .can only
mark from the falling barcareter that they
are still rising rapidly,. A nask of brandy
lies within a toot of him; he tries to reach it,
but his arms refuse to obey his will. He
tries to call to his comrade, who has gone
into the ring above; a whisper iu that deep
stillness would suilice—but no sound comes
from his lips—he is voiceless. His head
droops on his shoulder; with an effort he
raises it—it falls on the other shoulder; once
more, with a resolute effort, he raises it—it
falls backward. For a moment he dimly sees
the figure of his comrade in the ring above;
then sensation fails him—he lies back, un
conscious.
Some minutes pass—the balloon:still rising
upward! The steersman comes down into'
the car; he sees his comrade in a swoon, and
feels his own senses failing him. He saw at
once that life or death hung upon a few mo
ments. The balloon was still rising rapidly;
it must be made to descend at once, or they
,were s both dead men! He seized, or tried to
Seize a valve, in order to open it and let out
a portion of the inflating gas. His hands are
purple with the intense cold—they are para
lyzed, they will not revond to his will.
^ '
THE , ' DAILY EVENING BITTITTIN-PHILADELI3IITA, 'MONDAY, MAY :25. 1868.
It was a fearful moment. In'another min
;tits, in their upward flight, le would; be
senseless as his cciinrade. But Ile was a bold,
self-possessed man, trained pa a;hundred bal
loon ascents, and ready for any, emergency.
Be seized the valve with his teeth, it opened
a little—once, twice, thrice. •, Then the
swooned marksman heard"invoice calling to
him, "Come, take an observation—try!" lie
' heard as in a dream, but - could neither see
nor move!
Again he heard in Omer and`commanding
tones, "Take an observation—now, then, do
try." lle returned to consciousness, : and saw
the steersman standing before hiin. lie
looked at his instruments; they must have
been nearly eight miles up,but now the ba
rometer was rising rapidly—the balloon was
descending. Brandy, was used. - 'rho aero
nauts revived. They had been higher above
earth than mortal man,
or any living thing,
bad ever been before. But now they were
safe.
Such are the perils which science demands
of her votaries, and which they encounter
bravely and cheerfully. Soch was the memo
rable balloon-ascent of Messrs. Coxwell
Glashier, from 'Wolverhampton, on the sth
of September, 1862.
Destruction of Greystoke Castle.
[From tho London Now of Mar 61
A better idea can now be formed of the
damage done to Greystoke Castle, Cumber
land, by the destructive fire of Monday. It
was at first reported that a defective flue had
led to the disaster, but it does not appear to
have been the case. Its origin is, enveloped
in mystery. The fire was first discovered by.
Mrs. Howard, who, being awakened by the
smell of fire, opened her bedroom door, and
found that the adjoining dressing-room,which
is over the main entrance, and in which there
is no fire-place, was in flames. The house
hold was aroused, and as they were all, with
one exception, sleeping in the wing of the
building, which rendered retreat easy, they
escaped unscathed: The exception
was the governess, who, sleeping in a dis
tant chamber on the third story in the other
wing, seemed at first to be in great peril.
The build, however, ran to her rescue, and
succeeded in alarming her in time to make
her escape in her night dressbefore the means
of communication were cut off. From the
seat of its origin in the centre of the castle
the fire extended with great rapidity. On the
right of the entrance-door the oak-pannelled
dining room, with its elaborate oak ceiling
and antique furniture and fittings, afforded
ready fuel to the flames. Nothing was saved
in that apartment, and - -the suite of bedrooms
above fell in the general ruin. On the left, of
the entrance was the hall, decorated with
suits of armor of the knights of old,trophies of
shields and spears, the antlered heads of
deer, and other implements and emblems of
warfare and the chase, and upon the walls
were ~ .hung some large paintings of great
value, representing Solomon's Feast (Hamil
ton) the Signing of Magna Charta;(Lonsdale),
in which were introduced portraits of the
Dukes of Norfolk. All of these were com
pletely destroyed. Spreading along, the
staircase was next in flames, and all the
family portraits on the staircase walls and in
the picture gallery were burnt,without excep
tion. The portraits of the Dukes of Norfolk,
from the first who fell at the battle of Bos
worth-field, some of theta of colossal size,
were all destroyed, not a vestige of them
being now visible in the ruin. The
marble bust of Lady Dicre, which
stood at the foot of the staircase, is
shattered into many pieces, and the com
panion bust of the Earl of Arundel is greatly
disfigured. From the library, and drawing
room many valuable art treasures were res
cued by an outer independent door, includias
pictures of Holbein and Canaletti. Among
the family portraits burned were paintings by
Sir Antonio More, Vandyke, Myttens, &c.
By the unremitting exertions of the fire bri
gade and the villagers, the ancient tower and
the muniment rooms were saved, and also a
wing, in which the kitchens and servants'
hail are situated. The castle and buildings
were insured for £9,000; the wines and spirits
(of which a large quantity were destroyed)
and the furniture for £2,000; and the pictures
for £5OO, an amount which is a mere trifle
compared with their value even in the mar
ket. The damage sustained will greatly ex
ceed the atimunt of the insurance.
The Antiquity of Norse-racing.
The antiquity of horse-racing, in substan
tially the samershape which it now wears, is
far greater than even racing men of reading
and education have been in the habit of sup
posing. Without following the authors of
some treatises•upon the turf into their clabD
rate disquisitions as to the evidences that the
Romans, after their subjugation of Britain,
brought over their own breed of running
horses to these islands, we are justified in
believing that horse-racing was in vogue
among the Saxons, from the fact that Hugh
the Great, father Hugh Capet, of France,
sent a present to King Athelstan of several
German race-horses.
There is also further evidence that horses
famous for their speed were transmitted to
this monarch kern many parts of the conti
nent; and we read that in the year 930 a law
was promulgated by him, enacting that no
horses should be exported from Great Britain
except as royal presents.
But the earliest authentic evidence of horse
races having been celebrated in this country
is furnished by the old chronicler, Fitz-
Stephen, who wrote in the reign of Henry II
(1154 and 1169), and who described what
would, in these days, be designated as
the Smithfield meeting of 1168. As we
read the translation of the old • ana
lyst's words describing a trial of
speed between horses which took
place seven centuries ago, it is with difficulty
that we can persuade ourselves that we have
not Beles•Life or the Sporting Magazine
before us, and that we are not perusing the
performances of animals by Stockwell or,
Trumpeter. "The horses," ho tells us, "are
not without emulation ; they tremble and
are impatient, and are continually in motion.
At last, the signal once given, they start, de
vour the course, and hurry along with un
remitting swiftness. 'The jockeys, inspired
with the thought of applause and the hope of
victory, clap spurs to their willing horses,
brandish their Whips, and cheer them with
their cries."—St. Pauls.
A ball was recently given in Paris by the I
Countess Pourtales, for the purpose of intro
ducing the fashion of short bail" dresses.. A
correspondent says:
"The entrance gallery on Friday night was
converted Into a conservatory of exotic'
plants, and was furthermore lined by a regi
ment of footmen, ,powdered and wearing liv
eries of the time of Louis XVL Beyond
these a small army of 'mitres d'hOtel, like
wise powdered and in costume, each carrying
a halberd, wore marshalled on each step of
the marble staircase , leading to the recep
tion rooms; The number of invited guests
did not exceed three hundred and twenty ;
young ladies wore rigorously excluded. The
salons were perfect bowers of flowering
plants, and at each corner of every room
were hung masses of ice in gilt baskets,sur
rounded by fresh hot-house roses. The ball
wafropened by Madame de Pourtales and tbe
Duchess Mouchy, her costume being of Lollif
XIV. 'a time, white gauze strewn over with
fresh primroses and starred with diamonds;

the composer of these millinery triumphs, is
an autocrat before whom ambassadors and
duchesses are compelled •td bend. The
Duchess de Castries received her dress at one

past two; these fair ladies had, therefore, the
advantage of arriving in fresh toilettes when
their frkenels were already mourning over
crushed roses and torn lace."

The Now York •Tribune says: , t i ‘
The followingeomninuleation will be read.with
painful interest. We are unable to guarantee the
entire accuracy of all the etatertieute contained in
the letter, but the circumstance that they are
given by the Monterey papers, and that they have ,
been reported By the American Consul'at Monte
rey to the State Department, seems . to confirm
their truth ; • ,
To the Editor of the Tribune-8M: This com
munity halt beeia not;a little excited sinee.reeetv
the the intelligence, yesterday, of a lamentable
end revolting outrage committed on a party of
six American gentlemenrcitlzens of the United
Statee, in the City of Monterey, Mexico, on the
21st inst. , • •
Theta: gentlemen, while quietly pursuing their
way homeward, at about 11 P. M., wore arrested
in front of the Governor's palace, by order of
one Davila, who is Secretary, of , the Governor of
the State of .Nueva Leon. and
is called "Secre
tary of State," and were immediately thrust into
prison. By the order of Davila they were con
signed, not to the place of conflhement usual in
such eases, but to the prison set apart for con
demned felons, of which class, numbering about
70, they were made the companions during the
night. A Mexican prison at beet is a•fearful
place, noisome, with filth and vermin; but this
"black hole" which the Pend Davila selected for
their incarceration was loathsome and repulsive
almost beyond imagination ' and rendered grimly
horrible by the , presence of the vile wretches, the
vileat of the vile, into whose pestiferous com
panionship they were thrown. The horrors of
that tight may be faintly imagined, but words are
powerless to describe them. In the morning
two of the prisoners were ordered to "remove
the horse." This is a slang term which signifies
the removal and emptying of a large tub con
taining the filth of the prison,accumniateddaring
the past 24 hours: This they refused to do. The
order came from one of the felons who had been
assigned by the jailor to perform his mental
duties and execute his tyrannical commands.
Their refusal furnished a Pretext tor the wretch
to wreak his hatred upon the well-dresstel "Grin
os" in the most diabolical and atrocious manner.
Drawing an instrument used in Mexican prisons
for the infliction of the most disgraceful purists
went; he assaulted these men, overawed as they
were by We presence of armed -guards with
loaded muskets, with terrible blows, cutting
their clothing into shreds, and lacerating their
flesh in the most brutal manner.
After enduring this treatment until they die
covered that continued resistance would result in
being flogged to death, they at last performed
the disgusting job.
They were next ordered to sweep out the prison
and the court-yard. One of their number falling
to handle the broom with the dexterity whim
their felon-driver approved, became the victim
of his unique Instrument of torture. His back,
lacerated by that morning's prieon-whipping,w
ill
bear, the marks for teeny a day. While in prison,
every epithet of abuse and insult which malignity
could suggest or villainy invent was heaped upon
them, bo th by felons and keepers.
' the time of the arrest, a Mexican gentleman,
a resident of Monterey, was of the party. but lie
was told that be was not wanted. On being
re
leastd, he immediately repaired to the palace,
that by his influence with the brute Davila he
might securethe release of his friends, but in this
attempt he failed, and was detained in an upper
room of the palace until morning, that he might
be prevailed from using his efforts in other
quarters. At last, on the day following the arrest,
they were taken from the prison and conducted
before the Alcalde primers, who entered with
great pomp, and seated himself, gazed around
the crowded room, and exclaimed: 'You created
ascandal on the street last night; lam nok here
to try you, only to pronounce your sentence.
You are fined ten dollars each.
One of their number then demanded, in Span
ish, to be beard. He said: "You have condemned
us without proof. Where are your witnesses to
prove the charge?" The Alcalde replied, "Where
are your witnesses to disprove it?" The Alcalde
said, "Senor Davila was his witness, but he could
not force him to come." The jailor and his as
eietant felon were sent for; the latter admitted
the whipping. said he did It becaute he had a
right to, and was ordered to do so by the jailor;
which statement the jailor denied, and said he
• ordered him to treat them kindly The Alcalde
reluctantly remitted the fi ne and The
I them.
Gen. Trevino, Governor of Nueva Leon, is said
to have expreeeed regret thai such a thing should
have occurred, and Gen. Eacobedo, Commander
hi-chief of the Mexican Army, who was in Monte
rey at the time, did not altogether approve; but
neither of them took any action in the
matter. One of the victims, Mr. Forbes H. Pot
ter, has been two years in Mexico: We first year
he was engaged in furnishing arms and ammuni
tion to the Juarez Government. During the siege
of Queretaro he sold to these twogenerals a very
large quantity of war ,material , delivered at San
Luis, receiving the promise of the Government
for immediate payment. The efforts of the Libe
rals were crowned with success through this
timely aid, but payment has never been made,
mid he has been engaged during the whole of the
past year in Importuning the Mexican officials
for hie just due, and at last a grateful Republic
thus repays a favor rendered to her cause in its
darkest days. Eseobedo and Trevino arc within
hailing distance when the best friend they ever
bad Is thus outraged in the most disgraceful
manner, and they have no words either of indig
nation or sympathy.
And what of the wretch Davila? Will he even
be removed? No, he will be retained in his pre
aent position to repeat this shameful outrage
Upon foreigners as long as his brutal passion and
hatred of "Gringos" desire a victim.
Our Consul at Monterey, Mr. Ulrich, has com
municated the facts of this startling awe to the
State Department at Washington, and may it
hasten the day when the simple words, "I am an
American citizen," shall be a passport of safety
to every child of the "Great Republic" through
out the civilized world.
A Pionoter of the A
Sto ir—. A
very Strange
[Translated from El F Mar erro.Carril of Santiago, Chile
ch Sdl
Yesterday, about 5 o'clock P. M., when every
one had finished work at this mine (Garin Mine),
and the workmen in a group were awaiting their
evening meal, we saw coming through the air a
gigantic bird, whi t Sch at firsight we supposed to
be g a cloud surrounded by the atmosphere, and
divided from its companions by a chance current
of air.
As the object In question came nearer, filling
us with a very natural feeling of surprise, we
were able to note that it was an unknown crea
ture of the air—the roc of the "thousand and one
nights" perhaps, or possibly a leviathan of the
deserts. From whence did it come ? To where
was it going ? Its direction was from northeast
to southwest, its flight rapid and in a direct line.
On passing a short distance, and over oar heads,
we were able to note the rare structure of its body.
Its great wings were clothed with a brown 131n
mage; the head of the monster was in shape
similar to that of the grasshopper, with enor
mous eyes wide opened and brilliant as stare,
and covered with something like hair or bristles;
the body, lengthening itself out like that of a
serpent, Was covered with brilliant' scalds, which
, emitted metallic sounds as the strange animal
moved itself along.
Surprise resolved itself into fear among the
'workmen in the presence of such a strange phe
nomenon. The whole stock of ornithological
science possessed by the good miners was in vain
-exhausted to find the name and qualities of the
strange bird which had just passed without leav
ing a sign. Some assert that in those moments
they perceived a detestable smell, like that given
•out by: arsenic on being burned. Others that
Their senses•were not offended by any unusual
• odor. The superstitious believe it is the devil in
person they have just seen pass, while others re
collect having .. been witness, some years ago, in
the same place, of the passage of a similar mon
.strous bird.
As the whole affair is in the extreme curious,
- we have thought it our duty to communicate it
to you, withholding all useless comment, for the
truth is that we cannot explain satisfactorily to
ourselves what we have seen for the first, and
probably the last, time in our lives. Can it be
pos - sible that, in the desert or the Cordilleras,
Nature pleases to give life to these monstrosities,
and rears them in - solitude for many years, and
when they have attained sitfficient strength they
commence their flight through space, and -- the
earth guards their skeletons to the confusion of
sages, who, on meeting them, believe they have
found antediluvian remains?

tide Mart *hen' they entered it. . The 'Wine;
raised their spirits to a still higher pitch, and by!
the time each one of them had two bottles under
ble waistcoatthey began to sing at the, top of their
voices.' :Their merriment was at its height when,
three rnughs entered the room in which hitherto
they had been alone, and in a hoarse, broken,'
jeering voice of the lower classes of Paris. one or
the roughs said to the blind: "I say; old glass
eyes, are you going to CCIASC squeatng?" The blind,
met, stopped singing, and one of them said:
"Rl° is the blackguard who would make ns
silent?" The rough answered: "Put on your
spectacles, old horde, and you will see." His
comrades, delighted with the reply, laughed
heartily, and continued to ridicule the poor blind
men, each bit being greeted with hoarse laughs.
Thelblind men's anger became great. They rose.
Ontiof them groped until his hand - was on the,
lamp bn the wall which lighted the room.
He extinguished it, and then exclaimed,
"Now --we arc equal. Joseph,'tyle this
door so that no one goes out." Joseph placed his
stalwart hack against the door, and his two com
panions seized the roughs and beat and knocked
titcli heads against walls, tables and the floor,
kicked them until the terrible uproar brought the
master of the shop; he, finding tdmself unable to
push Joseph from the door, went for neighbors,
awl at last when entrance was effected, the room,
was found in a state of great confusion. Tables
and chairs were turned over one another, bottles
broken In a hundred fragments , were scattered
everywhere; the toughs completely cowed and
dreadfully beaten, were crouching in corners.
The sokeeper ut the blind men in an omni
bus running towards their homes, and put the
roughs out of the house. The blind men were
