The con sequence of this contracted area is that whatever hap- pens in ono corner county noised over every jai t of it, and that the affairs of every jiL-c.wn m the county are inumat?ly known to every other. .In one of the fifty parishes, whicl. cli-iil not be named, because to name it j is i: m "sential, lived a youth named Joeejih Bamnel Wardley. He was tha son of a blacksmith, was an able bodied, fine-looking fellow, brosd-eho-.:ld-red, lrond-breasted, with light ril hair, anil eves that seemed to have fallen iut the "copper when his mother a-.ia wajiii?, ami to have h'ld tne color boiled out of tht-m, so light were they. Josojih Samuel Wardlt-y was if vir tue consists in a series of negatives a most exemplary character. He didn't swear, he didn't drink, he didn't quab ble with his fellow-inon. If, however, virtus consists of positives, then it voiill be hard to say what Joseph Samuel Wurdlt-v was distinguished for l:;s virtue: for. as a matter of fact, it voiil.l l.e h:rd to way what Joseph Suiuurl VardW did that was trood. iiu v. as slow in his movements, slow in j taking in ideas, Flower in making use j 01 tnfin wnen ne nau received mem into hit brain. He had worked with his father at the tnr-o l.if Ha fatlio f.aro.l !, Via would never make a blacksmith, as he tired the horses or.t and ma le them rt-stivo before he had shod all their lfc-V is lour feet. Then Joseph Samuel waj he carcass of a young bullock to dis f nt to work on a farm, but he was so 1 POM of- His ground was overflowed, tiow at the Tlow that the farmers would not retain him in their services, j It was said that Joseph Samuels was : alwavs asleen. This was not exactlv ' true." Josenh Samuel w as so drowisv and indolent over his work by dav, thnt lie was nver sufficiently exhaust- I tl by Jus eiToris to enjoy a sound sleep r.t night. He was half asleep by day, he was half awake by night. There is nothing so conducive to all-forgetting 6l?ep as the exercise of the full ener gies by day. Josoph Samuel did not put forth even one-half of his energies by day. The other half remained to disturb the tranquility of the night; consequently he was a light sleeper, and sometimes it was as doubtful v. h ;ther he were asleep at night, as it was doubtful whether he were awake by dav. As he was dismissed from the pi w- j tail, he returned to his father, vho j employed him to work the bellows ; which kept his fire going in the forge. I "But," as the fsrritr said, "a chap cun t po on all his life blowing Del lows. I must find some profession or J trade for which he is suited." Accident or Fate seemed to give the requisite indication. The father of Joseph Samuel bud been an industri ous man all his life, and it was believed that he had amassed money. - He had no dealings with the bank at Oakham ; that was wrll known. Where, then lid he keep his money? It was whispered that, singularly enough, whenever he had received payment of a heavy bill, Mr. Wardley was observed to mount a ladder to put straight, as he said, one of the tiles in his roof that was out of i place and let the water through. That the coincidence was noticed, and was a matter of discussion, never oc- ; curred to the blacksmith. The last time ; he brought in his bill to the Squire it ! was for the sum t five-and-twentv I ponnds and sosae odd shillings. Ko sooner had he received the money than it was remarked a tile was again loose in his roof. One night that Joseph Samuel la;, awake, unable by any means to induce sleep such as by counting sheep go ing through a gap in the hedge, re peating his catechism, listening to the snores of his parents in an adjoining room he thought he heard a sound on the tiles, as if some one was engaged repairing the roof. He got out of bed, peered through the window, and saw thtk li iji fr 1 1 f f Fdai'dn t ty, inn ttiAt n ladder was set against the house, and , that a pair of legs were visiblo on th' j ladder. : As Joseph Samuel was inclined for ; activity all night, and was prompt then j in his resolutions, which was not the case by day, ha stole downstairs on ) tiptoe, and opened tho back door coftiy. He was in his robe de nuit. That did not matter. The air was cool but not frosty, ami no rain was falling. Lie was at the back of the house the opposite side to that at which the ' Ider was set tip, and where be had tv.-1 d the leijs. He knew where 1,,-iir : lidder. Ir "'"r.t barefooted t the spot, removed th ladder planted at the back of the house, climld up it without causing the sniallo.'t iioise, and succeded in making his way cautiously up the tiles ill he reached the ridge of his father's oof. Holding to the ridge tiles, he icaved himself np by both bands ireast high above the ridge-piece. Then he saw what was being done on io further side. Two men were there. One was on a adder and held another by the ankles ho had scrambled onto the roof, t ho latter was lifting tile after tile and oeling under each, obviously expect ng to find and carry off tho farrier's (tore of savings. Joseph Samuel Wardley did not hea :tate for a moment what to do. With perfect presence of mind, and great enonrv as well as courage, he said, Uol" The robbers were staggered. They looked up, saw a semi-white figure ris ing above the roof, glowering at them. Their nerve gave way. Hewno was erve gave way. Hewiio was.-.n ler let go the ankles of tho man . roof; the latter slid.down, ami ihe man with his feet on the the ladder on the fell on the ladder rungs; and both were precipi tated to the bottom. Joseph Samuel now aroused tbi house, and the Burglars were arrested. One h4 dislocated Taff hip, tbTotei had concussion of the brain, his bead baTttur fallen on a brick.. Had the brick been a little harder, it is believed it would have broken his head; as it was, tha bnrglar'a head broke the brick split it into three pieces. 1 The two men were delivered over U the police, and were brongbt before the magistrates at the retty Bessions, who consigned them to be tried at the Quarter Sessions for attempted bur- When the trial came on, the plea put in for the two men was that they had been bird nesting, and evidence wai produced that they had been seen going up trees. Nothing had been taken. The houst had not been broken into, so that some difficulty was entertained as to the na ture of their offence, and the amount of punishment to be awarded if found guilty. Finally, they were found guilty of an attempt at bird nesting with felonious intent, and were or dered nine months' imprisonment witr hard labor. This inei-lent determined the mina of the blacksmith as to the proper av- scation for his son. Joseph Samuel must become a policeman. A "bobby has to be about at night, and that was precisely what Joseph was calculated for, as ho could not sleep at night. He was so able bodied, was such fine figure of a man, that he was al onoe accepted and put in the force. H assumed the not nnpicturesque uniform of a county policeman, and believed that he had found his true occupation. He was finally planted at a place on the opposite side of the little county. Of course, the fame of his exploit had preceded him. He was looked up to at a man of the greatest ability, energy and resolution, and it was concluded that with him in the parish everything ras safe. It was conjectured, rather thai ; known, that the fear of Joseph Samuei baa fallen on au the miscreants in the county of Rutland. It was high time that men of a superior order of intel ligence should be engaged in the force, lor a number of robberies had been committed of late on the graziers ot Luthlandshire. The low land, readily overflowed, serves for the rearing: ol , 1 rounc cattle till thev are fit to kill. when they are sent in great numben the London market. There had ' been theft of calves and young buT looks. Sometimes the live beasts had been carried off, rapidly dispatched and dismissed to London before thi Say broke. Some graziers had losl j severely. It was not possible to say , where the next robbery would tak place, consequently all were equailj snxions and uneasy. ! A small farmer was one evening ox his way to the nearest town. He had no- a he could no longer feed his but lock he killed it, and was taking tb sarcass to London, when, passing through Bashentine the village at a-hieh Joseph Samuel was quartered he disposed of it to the village butcher, ""no Bt once removed the dead meal ana paia me man ior n. 'Ihe farmer had something to do tt the town besides selling the carcase, so ho proceeded on his way, but drew up at a little tavern where he was fond ol having his glass. He unharnessed hii horse, ran the light cart under cover. and entered the public house. . The man was abdicted to drink; he had - money in his pocket ; he met there with some chums ; and the end was thai he resolved to make a night of it. ! A spirit of perversity rules thi i destinies of men. As long as Joseph j Samuel was obliged to be awake by day, he could not Eleep at night ; but now that he was a policeman, and had to make his excursions by night, he felt sleepy when the dark set in, and some nights was hardly able to keep his eyes open. It was so on this even in:?, He wis coming along the road. beside which stood "the public-house into which the farmer had gone. He was so weary, so heavy in his eyes, thnt he resolved on having just a wink of sleep to freshen him before he pro ceeded on his beat. Accordingly, he entered tha shed attached to the tavern, and finding a light cart, crept into it, stretched himself on the straw in the bottom, and in a moment was fast asleep. He slept so soundly tbet he did not stir did not snore. Not a quarter of an hour had elapsed before two men stole into the cart ilied. Ono had a slight limp. The 3ther had a lump at tho back of his Head. "You're sure of it?" asked the latter jf these men. "Certain. Ho killed his bullock .his morning. He's drinking in the house." V5'"M w rl r-.t ro h'rm'n ft, and drive away with cart and car cass?" "The stable door is locked. I think re'd best draw the cart ourselves. It's light, and we shall get to tho station by daybreak." Tho two men drew the cart forth. "It's heavy," said tho limping mat. "It's the bullock; it's a prime beast, T fan tell you." The two fellows drew thn cart ir.ti the road, nut themselves into the shafts, and started running as hard cs they could, drawing the cart along with them. The night was dark, the movement was conducive to sleep, and Joseph Samuel slept on peaccrullv-.csd dreamed of home. i A little after midnight. "I say, Tumma," said the ehait horse-, "I'm tremendous hungry. What do yon say shall we halt, cut a slice out of tha carcass and have a cutlet each?" I "I wouldn't risk it," said the leader. "The fire might betray us: we couldn't eat raw cutlets we ain't sav ages. " "Well, cut along, Tummas." And away cantered the thieves with tho cart and carcass. Toward dawn they neared the station. . Both were becoming fatigued. "I eay, Tummas, taid the tlinf horse, "I'm so rampageous hungry J XuM eat the whole bullock." "And I'm so thirsty.', said tht leader, "I could drink his blood." "Hark !" Both halted and looked back. The. pay dawn was breaking. Behind they heard shouts and tho eoundof a horse's hoofs approaching at a gallop. ' But they saw something that still more greatly disconcerted them a bead and shoulders rising over the gplash-board of the cart, and heard, "Bol" The men let go the shr.fts they ran ran as fact cs they could in their then condition of exhaustion. Swiftly along the road came the farmer galloping, swearing as he gal loped in pursuit of hie lost cart. !

The Processus f the Uudneads and Other Quaint Customs of New Mexico Aborigines A 'Wild, : Weird Spectacle. IN front of each of the Indian rfli lsges of New Mexico an ott 1 serving traveler will notice a ' small post, about two feet high, usually petrified, standing always to the eastward of the entrance of the pueblo. This Indiana will not permit the Uexieasi is ceiled the "gnomon," sad it is to witness it, or, in fast, any of heir both a clock and an almanac Such a ceremonies. When the pnaiards con stone stands in the accustomed place tjnered the Southwest nearly 350 years before the ancient city of Islets, which ago, one of tho first steps they took is situated on the banks of the Bio was to prohibit several of the Indian Grande, and is supposed to be built on the site of one of the "Seven Cities of Cibola," whose fabled richness bronghf the Spaniards to this country. Each morning the "Cacigne of the Sun" takes his stand at this post and r-itches the sun rise from behind the "ili under Mountain." The priest notes the divergence of the sun as the time of the summer solstice approaches, and uen counts tne aays Dewre tne coming tion led to the Indian rebellion of 1639, of the "rain dance," which ia held on which lasted fourteen years.

A prayer nit a Spaniard or a Mexican to witness plume is a small stick ten or twelve them. The Pueblo Indians also pre- inches Ion-, prettily shaped, and tipped with biiijiit iertiiitTi of ell colors but never black. An Indian with black feathers in his possession would be considered a witch, and would be punished terribly by being hung np by the arms and beaten with dubs, sometimes to his death. The Cacigne, or sun priest, fasts for two or three days in advance, and on the evening before the dance he takes a position in the middle of the dry, sandy bed of the Colorado River and prays for rain. In the mean time the official town crier has announced throughout the village in a deep bass voice that the rain dance will begin the next evening. On this day of prepara tion three medicine men ere detailed as olhciai bearers of offerings to the sacred bike to the southwest of the vil lage, from which direction the rain comes. The delegates proceed with prayer plumes, which they cast into the lake. Each then fills an earthen jar with the t acred water, and the, solemn procession moves back to the village, and the jars of precious fluid are carefully deposited in the estufa. or Indian church. The great dance is preceded at 4 o'clock in the afternoon by a curtain- raiser known as tho procession of tha "iludheails. This is an old organi zation a sort of Ancient and Honora ble Order of Buffoons and is sup posed to antedate the merrymaking clowns of the Italian carnival and the French Mardi-Gros. There are ten of them, the lender being called the Father. Each is painted mud-colored, and wears on the head a cloth mask, on which are plastered figures in adobe, a huge nose, great circular eyes and mouth like that of the end man of the minstrel shows. A short blanket covers the loins, and a shell necklace is worn around the neck. A small sprig of cedar is attached to each mask, the Father being designated by two. These ten clowns form in procession, with their bodies bent forward. The first one stoops over- with his hands on his knees, and each of the others places his hands on the hips of the one in front. Then, iu a half trot, half-1 walk, they make the circuit of the vil lage, under the eaves of the houses. The people of the village crowd upon the flat roofs, and, as the "Mudheads" pass beneath, drench them with water from great jars. As the clowns feel the water they dance the harder, and each vies with the others in agility and in the eccentricity of step and grimace. They accompany their move ments with a monotonous song or chant appropriate to the occasion, sprinkled with local hits and gags, and here the "Mudheads" have a chance to fling back at their drenchers on the roofs. The rain dance proper, which follows immediately after this buffoonery, is a weird spectacle. All of the dancers ot tho Puoblo Indians are semi-religions. He never smiles or laughs during hit song or dance. As in the case of King Bex, whe rules at carnival season, the partici- pants in the dance in the Pueblo are pressure of the body in an erect posi supposed to come from a distance, and tion in the day, and expand themselves so during the afternoon the perform- during the repose of the night. era, who have been selected oy mo Cacigne of the Sun, leave the Tillage with their toggery simple, but effec tive and assemble on the foot-hills to tho southwest of the Pueblo. Tho costume consists of a fox skin hung from the rear, a turtle shell rattle worn on tho inside of the knee, a belt of sholls for the neck and loins, a narrow cloth, about the width of a ballet dancer a skirt, about the loins. The linncers gather about a sacred fire that naa oeen previously amuicu j F--ajr ; , . - , - i i il hands at the rendezvous, and there IS chanted the song of the rain dance. j At sundown the dancers march chant- ing toward the village in single file. As they ascend the little hill overlooking j the village on the west they form in line and begin to dance, facing the sun, thoir strange dark figures outlined against the bright sky, and presenting Prom the west the line moves to ths north of the pueblo, and dances on that ule and thence to the plaza, makings rircuit of the Tillage. Then they file :ito the estufa, where only a few priv ileged spectators are admitted. Ths leople now climb down from tha nouaf ops, for the public ceremonials are sf an end. The dancing soon becomes monoto nous, for Indian dances have no va riety. There is but one form, and that ia a mixture of a soldier marking time and a Delsartean pupil taking position and changing to the "free leg." Ths Indian stands straight as a statue. throws his weight upon one foot, and with the other thumps the ground un til the turtle-shell castanets on tha knee rattle. Then he marches with a , iippety-hop, scarcely lifting the feet from the ground. The pnosts sprinkle orn meal on the ground beneath the cct of the dancers, forming rings. The hoppers then turn half around and re verse the promenade. At intervals, as thoy pass the priests, they receive pinches of the sacred meal, sprinkled ip.in their perspiring bodies. After tha dancers enter ths estufa. cession of women, wearing "mantaa. bla;k dresses reaching to the knee.

Fhe dances of a semi-religious nature are always performed by men belong ing to special orders, and even their own women are not allowed to witness tome of them, the strictest secrecy be Ing enjoined. It was these secret cere-; caoniais that the Spaniards prohibited ander severe penalties, and this restrio- erve their barbarous custom of pun ishing supposed witches by swinging them up until nearly suffocated, or by srucifying them tying them on the walls of the estufa by the hands and feet to projecting timbers. Recently witch was killed in this manner. An officer with a detail of Government troops visited the pueblo, and tho Cacigne promised that there should be no more crucifixion. New York Be' oorder. Our Joyous Northern Neighbor. The Frenchman of Canada remain essentially an Old World product. Centuries of life in the New World have not transformed his nature. His transplanting has modified his man ners, given him new interests, sur rounded him with new conditions, bat in spirit he remains what his ancestors were when they came to New France from Normandy in old Franco. He ia the same cheerful, optimistic, pleasure-loving being that they were. In many respects he is as simple as a child ; in others he is cs cunning and as guileful as any small trader on the earth. The French Canadian cannot live in solitude ; he must have society. When his American neighbor in New England has finished his work in the fields or woods, and has done the chores about the house and barns, he gets himself into a brooding frame oi mind, and reflects upon his mortgage until the threatened return of interest day drives him to his dark bed room. When evening comes to the Canadian, he leaves his plow in the furrow and greets the stars with a song that his forefathers who fonght with Fontenao brought over from the land that their descendant still calls "la belle France." Their tired women are never too tired to dance in the midst of cares and labors so heavy and severe that their like has driven hundreds of thousands of the habitants into the United States. The old custom of visiting, of great feasts on the day set apart by the Church to the saint who is the patron of the parish, and on the family anni versaries, are kept np as they are at home. Here as there the race is the atrical ; the dramatio effects of cos tume and of conduct are still dear to the heart of this Frenceman who has never seen France, and whose people for generations were born in the som bre forests of Canada, while he has spent a life of toil on the fields that deoline to yield a fruitful . harvest to his untutored and inadequate cultiva tion. By the light of blazing logs in the humble cottage, he and his neigh bors are happy and cheerful after a manner and to a degree that would seem to the grave New Englander wicked levity and mnd irresponsibility.

During a recent trip acroes the .'. t antio the passengers on one steamer tad a vivid illustration of the endor see of the stormy petrel. Shortly af or the ship had left the Irish coast wo or three of these birds were sight id at the ship's stern. One had been optnred at eome previous time, and ts captor had tied a piece of red flan lei round its neck and let it go. The jit of red made the bird very conspie ious, and it could easily be identified. That bird, with others that could not e so easily distinguished, followed the ihip right across the ocean. Barely, luring the daytime at least, was it out it sight, and if for an hour or two it sras lost to view while feeding on the refuse thrown overboard, it soon reap peared, and the last seen of it was within a few miles of Sandy Hook, when it disappeared. When the fact is considered that the ship, day and night, went at an average speed of nearly twenty miles an hours, the feat performed by the daring traveler eaa be appreciated. New York News.
