Behind tho Kamerou mountain, inland, there are two chains of mountains, or one chain deflected, bearing the names of tho Ruiubi and Onion mountains.

National Review. THE FIRST CARRIAGE IN MAINE. How a Minister Cam to Buy It nnd Why He Mold It. The' Rev. Franois Winter was a na tive of Boston and a grudunto of IIiu vord col lego. Ho went to Bath early in 1707, and after preaching on probation for tho Orthodox church was invited .to settle, which invitation he accepted. Re was ordained in tiie autumn of tho same year. He went to Bath on horseback iu company with Lemuel Btandish. Air. Winter came from Boston, where ho hod associated with such eminent men as Adams, Otis and Warren, himself becoming an ardent patriot, tuking the lend in tho Revolutionary measures adopted in Buth. during that memorable period. Mr. Winter married Miss Abigail Al don in 1708, and it is ithrough her that tho inters of today trace their auocstry look to tho "Puritnu JUuideu of PJym outh." Thrco yoara nfter tha murriago of 'tho Rev. Francis Winter nud Abigail Aldcn they Btortcd to visit a sister of Mrs. Winter, living in Connecticut, and iu tended to rido all the-iway on horseback, but Mrs. Winter became so fatigued that Mr. Winter sold one of the horses for a carriage and harness. It was the first carriage that ever oanie into Muiue.and was culled a cliaiso. Traveling was so dlmcult that two negroes wero employed to accompany them .with shovels nd axes to clear the road. .Several times tho chaise had to be taken apart and lifted over fallen treoa. The minister's parish ionors thought that it was putting ou too jnuch stylo for their pastor to ride in a carriage, and in .oonaequeuoe Mr. Winter sold it This was In 1771. It was a two whoeled chaise, the body resting on. leather braces, which were attached to wooden springs. Lewiatun Journal. A Harola Racip.

TUB Bonth African Labor Market, I believe, as with fighting peoples of I India, so witn tne zuia ana me mata- belo, military service will eventually prove an excellent means of eliciting the loyalty and utilizing the pugnacity of tho nation. All over South Africa the great social and economical difficulty of the nay is the state of the labor market. Inefficient, according to our standard, though Kaffir labor may bo for the pur poses of mining as well as farming, it is absolutely Indispensable. W lilte men may be overseers and managers, but the pick and shovel work is, and mnst be for some time, in the hands of natives. Whatever may be the case in America, it is certain that in Bonth Africa black' and whito would not come together in a single shift or a single gang on the same level. Whether in the future em ployers will not be forced to import hands, not exactly of the class called "mean white," but from the same coun tries as now supply the American mines with labor, remains to be seen. The scarcity of Kaffirs is a serious fact in tho Industrial world of Afrikander dom. It does not spring, as I havo stated, from any shrinkage of population, for, on tho contrary, there is an increase, but it is to be accnuntcd for by the in grained distaste for manual exertion which makes the inalo Kaffir in his own kraal send his womeu to work in the flelds while he sits in his glory at his hut's door. Everywhere they havo made money and bought cattle, nnd, accord ing to Kaffir custom, each son of the house has the right to pnt his spoon into the common bowl and the commou stew, so that the young"bucks" are not forced to work from any fear of starving. Fortnightly Review. Paul Potter. These boys who draw on slates and whoso timo and thoughts ore constantly running to pictures sometimes turn out to be great artists and leave splendid names behind them. In the great picture gallery at The Hague, which is at once tire pride and joy of all truo Dutchmen, hangs, among other masterpieces, tho most famous animal picture in all the world. It is called "The Bull. " It was painted by a very young man, whose name was Paul Potter, and who was only 23 when ho signed this canvas. There aro few paintings better known, and it is acknowledged by art critics to be tho most coinplcto work that any cat tie painter has ever done. Though this Dutchman died at the ago of 29, he left behind him 140 pio turps that were all out of tho ordinary, While some of them were painted before he was 16. Ue mado, when ho was 18, a wonderful etching that attracted ut teution in tho old town of Delft, and an artist in thoso duys had to do excellent work to flecuvo notioo at all. Potter a works aro greatly prized jand aro found in tho principal galleries Til the world You may see them iu tho National gal lory in London ; tho Berlin, Dresden and Vienna museums ; the Hermitage iu St. Petersburg, tho Louvre in Paris, and all the art institutions of tho artist's native land.

Te Keetora Faded Flowers. Flowers that have been packed and are lading Horn exhaustion may be re stored to freshness if the stalk are plunged about an Inch deep into scald' ing water. By the time the water be comes cold the flowers will have reviv ed. Cut off the ends of the stalks which have been softened by the hot water and put the flower In vases with plenty of cold water. Cut flowers are likely to keep longer if you out off with a sharp penknife a little piece of stalk every day. Out in a aluuting direction. The strong odor of the water in which wall flowers have remained may be remedied by adding a little charcoal or disinfect ing fluid. Philadelphia Telegraph..

In his book on "The Study of Oeltlo Literature," Arnold showed that one of the qualities which the English people admire most in somo of their great poets is the very quality which above nil oth ers is the distinguishing characteristio of the Celtic bards, and that Ossion in particular is saturated and pervaded with the quintessence of this trait To denote the characteristic trait of Celtio poetry Arnold nsed the word Titanism. No one has defined Titanism, hut it has been caricatured in the saying, "The Celtio mind seems always sailing no where under full sail." Those who wished to know the full meaning of tho word were recommended to discover it by devout study of Byron and Keats. "And where lid they get it?" asks Arnold. "Tho Celts," he an swers, "are tho prime authors of this vein of piercing regret and pattsioq, of this Titanism in poetry. A famous book, Marpherson's 'Osslan,' carried in the last century this vein like a flood of lava through Europe. Mako the part of what is forged, modorn, tawdry, spuri ous, in the book as largo as you liko, there will still be left a residue of the very soul of tho Oeltlo genius iu it, and which has the proud distinction of hav ing brought this soul of tho Celtio gen ius into contact with tho genius of tho nations of modern Europe and enriched all our poetry by it Woody Morven and echoing Lora nnd Bel ma with its silent halls, wo till owe them a debt of grati tude, and when we are unjust enough to forget it, may tho muse forget us. " Maomillau's Magazine. Kant's Windlasses. Kant, the German metaphysician, was a singular being. The English writer Thomas De Qulnoey made close observation of Kant s personal peculiar' ities, and frequently dwelt upon one of them with intense amusement Kant, among other studies in the art of taking care of himself, avoided ordi nary garters. He permitted no ligature to be placed on any part of his body, fearing to hinder in the slightest degree the circulation of the blood. Ho found it necessary at the same time to keep up his stockings. Accord ingly ho had loops attached to them, and outside each hip he wore a contriv ance which may bo culled a box wind lass. These affairs somewhat resembled an angler's reel, with a spring which secured the liue at any given point Behold Kant then expounding his philosophy to a select circle of disciples. Liko the famous counsel who could not state his arguments without twisting a bit of twine, Kant worked the wind' lasses as ho talked. Tho idea of this grotesque fancy so tickled De Quinoey that ho often lin gored on the odd sight it must have been to observo the master "paying out the cable" or hauling in "tho slack" by aid of this curious machinery I Youth s Companion. Sebastian Cabot. Sebastian Cabot retired from pubRo affairs in 15S7, and died shortly after, leaving a high reputation as a scieutiflo and practical mariner, much of which tho author of this book considers and, it must be admitted, has cogently proved to be undeserved. Our own verdict would bo thut ho was guilty of much fulschood and intrigue, that ho was not as expert a seaman as he claimed to be and that iu the leadership of men ho ex hlbitod neither justice, mercy nor even ordinary discretion. But let us temper justico with mercy, and in judging of the worthies of post ages bring to light somo extenuating circumstances.
