Tbo Days or Old—Traditional Sapcnll-.

[Fro® ChamW Journal.]

Over all the Middle Ages we see !the *,r

the weird figure of a man, downcast

The Wandering Jew, sometimes buried in Amenian convents or the deserts of Central Asia, in the burning plains of Africa, or the snowy heights of the Caucasus, suddenly appears in the haunts of more civilized Europe, apd tolls, as an eye-witness, tho sad story of the crucifixion, and his share in the contumely cast upon the God-man. Ho had thrown himself into the.flamiog city of Jerusalem against the Roman swords lie bad fought against Gauls, Germans ancLSaracens, but no lance wou'd enter his charmed body, no arrow pierce the heart that longed to be at rest. The wild elephant had crushed him under foot, venomous serpeuts had bitten him, the hungry lion had torn him, but he could not die until Christ himself should come to judge tho world. Thin legend filled the .? people with terror and emotion, and probably arose from some eloquent prcachcr, who thus personified the

Jcwisn nation, under the figure of a single man, scattered through the world, and uudestroyed by persecution. Matthew Paris is the first historian who speaks of it an Armenian bishop visiting the monks of St. Albans, had conversed with the Jew about the year 1228, and from that time he appeared at intervals in several of the cities of Europe, dressed in the old Roman costume, much worn, a long beard, naked feet, and a sad, mclan choly expression lie refused all presents but a lew pence, which he gave away to tho poor. At Strasburg he appeared iri 1580, and informed the magistrates that he had passed through their city 200 years before, which was verified by a reference to the city registers. The last time we hear of him is in the city of Brussels in 1774.

Another no less popular superstition was the existence of a king and pontiff, united in one, named Prester John, who barl ruled a vast empire for centuries, in which more marvels were to be found than in Mahommed's paradise No traveler to the cast "dared put a stop to this absurd belief some even pretended to know the place. The Kings of Portugal sent several expeditions into India and

Abyssinia to assure-themselves of the reality, for this immortal pope gave many an hour's anxiety to the popes of the West, for fear lest schism should spring from so distant a quarter. There was a curious letter, written perhaps by some partisan of the Reformation, to the Emperor of Rome and King of France, in the name of Prester John, about 1507, inviting them to settle in his dominions, which he described as the richest and finest in tho world. There they would see the fabled phoenix, the griffin, the roc, tho seven-horned bull, centaurs, pigmies and dragons. There sprung the fountain of immortal youth, there grew the tree of life, from which was drawn tho holy oil used for the sacramcnts of the church and when the king and his court sat down to table they needed no cooks, for a spiritual chef prepared all their dishes.

Another mysticel being was Antichrist. who was supposed to be born in Rabylon, and whom tho Jews were ready to recognize as their Messiah. The year 1000 was fixed upon by the most learned doctors as the time of his appcaraucc and the end of the world. We have a terrible picture given by a cotemporary, of the desolation which reigned throughout Europe at the approach of this fatal term there were fearful sigus in the heavens and on the earth—eclipses, comets, meteors, floods, tempests and plagues. Superstition aggravated the real evils of public misery the people spake of frightful miracles the dead wero raised tho living struck with sudden death spectres and demons camo from the abyss. Men thought, of nothing but bow they should appear before God they gave up their wealth to churchcs and convcnts they thought itjuselcss to till the Aground and occupy themselves in their daily tasks their fields, houses and shops were deserted for the altar. __ At A Inst the last day of tho year 999 arrived the wholo populace, in tears and prayers, crowded the churches, ^and waited in trembling expectation -the soundings of the seveu trumpets, and the appearance of Antichrist but tho sun rose bright as ever, tho stars foil not from heaven, the laws of nature were uninterrupted. It was only postponed," said the credulous they counted tho days, weeks and Smooths with indescribable anxiety, and it required many years of anguish to restore calmness to their minds.

THE will of a San Francisco physieian recently deceased, contaiucd ihe following clause: "After death I ^wish my body to be dissectcd by my medical friends, tho soft parts burned 'and tho ashes preserved in an urn, the skeletou wired well together, and both kept in some medical college or uuiversity in San Francisco. But in oaso my wife should wish for them, it is my will that they be delivered to her, tin case she shall bo willing to pay the "expense of their preparation''

THE promptness with which the .President ordered the discontinuance of sale of arms to French shippers, as soon as it became certaiu that Paris must surrender, ought to be acccptcd as sufficient answer to the complaiots of our German friends, and a satisfactory proof of tho activity of our national sympathy with Germany.

IN Galveston, Texas, there aro three newspaper men uained Jones, who are .oonst&ntly getting into trouble on cacli other's account. Week before last one of them was assaulted in the street for writing an abusive article which ?he had never seen ind a few days before, the. wrong Jones was accused of deserting his second wife, though ^he had never been married. The three

Jiaeses have at length taken to the war-path, each carrying an arsenal of email arms under his jacket, and breathing slaughter and extermination against41 the lellow that's named lilgb •MA.9'. m®.

cigar-shaped, resting in»

^appearance of a huge, tapering—at one end—sausage in the skeleton c«f a yacht,

The frame-work bow of the vessel is sharp for distance of two feet, then bulges rapidly. preserving a comely contour to the rounded steyn. The extreme length of the vessel is 27 feet, breadth 10 feet, and depth 10 feet. The carrying capacity of the vessel is To pounds—that is, the hydrogen gas with which the balloon is inflated will sustain that weight. With the wire, wood-work, boiler and engines attached, there is soma twenty pounds to spare. The engines are small, compact affairs, beautiful specimens of workmanship, and of great power. The wings—two in nnmber—constructed on the windmill principle, are not more than three feet in circumference, and revolve by action of the engine. Ihe wings are soar ranged that they may be worked in a horizontal or perpendicular position, the shaft of each resting on cog wheels. Altogether it is a novel machine, and whether successful or not reflects credit upon the ingenuity and mechanical skill of the inventor.

The process of inflation was not completed until dusk Thursday evening hence Mr. Morrow postponed the trial until Friday, when the machine was pat in operation with considerable success. When every thing was ready the fife for raising stenm was kindled, and in one minute and a quarter steam was opened. At twelve minutes to one r. it. the machine was cut loose, and the propellers started. She then rose most gracefully in the air, amidst the cheers of the crowd who had gathered to wiiuess the ascension. The machine was guided by cords attached to both ends of the balloon, and in the hands of persons on the ground. She ascended about fifty feet and sailed along abont, a block, when she was pulled down te have her boiler replenished. Again she arose, this time to a height of about two hundred feet. All the machinery connected with it worked to the perfect satisfaction of the inventor.

A Snow Slide In Jdaho.

William James Hicks and his brother John Brisco llicks, left Rocky Bar on the morning of the 8th inst., with the mail for Atlanta City. It was one of the"most

etoriny days ever known in these mountains* Tiiey left this place at the hour of 0 o'clock in the forenoon, and had progressed very favorably on their journey some nine or ten miles, having passed tho summit and jmstcome upon the grade of Ball Mountain, when all of a sudden they looked up, and just above them was a snow slide coming with the velocity of lightning. Jimmy llicks was in advance, and had just a few seconds before looked at his watch and noticed the time, which was 4 o'clock. As Jimmy saw his impending doom he turned his snow shoes down the hill, exclaiming: "Oh, God! oh, Brisl" This was the last overseen of poor Jimmy alive. They were carried down tho mountain nearly a quarter of a mile, into what is known as "Black Warrior," the younger brother, Brisco, being carried up to one side of the gulch, while Jimmy was taken down its center over a deep declivity of rocks. It is almost a miracle how Brisco Hicks dug himself out of some ten or twelve feet of snow, and that, too, in the midjt of a pitiless storm which was raging furiously at the .time, and traveled all night without snow-shoes, in snow up to liis arm pits, with no food, and not even a pair of gloves, one of the coldest nights of the season. He arrived home on Friday morning about eight o'clock both feet b«dly frozen. In a few hours the good people in ltockey Bar had turned out, nearly en masse, to do all that kind hearts and willing hands could to find tho missing one, which was done about noon of Saturday.—Idaho Statesman.

How THE S.vow CAME DOWS.—The follow

ing is the way a World reporter expatiates upon the recent snow storms in New York. If the description is faithful and veracious' the occurrence must have been an atmospherica'l phenomenon wonderful and interesting to behold:

"The snow came down in blinding sheets it fell on the housetops and beat down the chimneys it blew from the houses in wild masses on the sidewalks it whirled under umbrellas, and eddied under the ladies' dresses it beat in at the crannies of the windows, and under the closed doors it filled the street cars with ilusli, and covered the cushions with an uncomfortable powder it was heaped up by the wind in huge masses in some parts of the pavement, while in other parts it refused to stay it followed the snow-ploughs and undid their work as fast as it was accomplished it covered the car-driver and" his horses till they •were nearly unrecognizable it rested on the trees till they bent beneath its weight and fell on the awnings, and would not be shaken off by tho wind until it had crushed them to the pavement it covered all the out-door ponds, and spoiled the skating it hung over the rivers, and blinded the pilots, and made ferry travelling uncertain and dangerous it was a furious, blinding, uncomfortable, northeasterly, old-fashioned snow storm, and had no business to come in these modern days.£) J",

San Domingo not Altogether Lovely. The Hartford, Connecticut, Post, a decided Radical print, does not think

there is much loveliness in Sau Domingo soil, climate,, productions, or population it expresses itself in the following terms upon these points:

An island of such 'salubrious' climatc that Admiral Radford reported it some years ago to be the worst ho knew on the whole globe—a place where wl\ite men cannot live—one end of it occupied by a republic of Freuch negroes the other with no settled government, but fought for by two leaders of Spanish-speaking negroes, Baez and Cabral—a 'Republic' of IOOJOOO blacks, without wearing apparel enough in the whole country to give one of Corregio's cherubs a .change of linen—an extent of territory that would not sell in any market ior ouc tenth the amount of money our revenue system would compcl us to pay to environ it with customhouses—au undefended patch of land which it would cost, twenty-five millions of money to fortify, and large sums of money annually to garrison and defend—a new 'Texas' for adventurers and paradise for loafers and thieves, who will stay there long enough to be sent to Congress in selfdefenso by the black natives— a pool for speculators and a nest of sin— what, pray tell us, do we want of a miserable half of the dirty island of San Domineo?" ',3B

The Lowest Type of Humanity. The foilowiog extract is from an article on "Barbarism and Civilization," in the Atlantic Monthly

On the Island of Borneo there has been found a certain race of wild creature*, of which kindred varieties, have been discovered in the Phillipine Islands, in Terra Del Fuego, and in South America. They waik usually, almost erect on two legs, and in that attitude, measure abont four feet in height. They are dark, wriokled and hairy. Tbey construct no habitation, form no families, scarcely associate together, sleep in caves or trees, feed on snakes and vermin, on ant's egtts, on mice and on each other. They cannot be tamed or forced to any labor, and a^e hunted and shot among the trees like the great Gorilla. of which they are a stunted copy. When they are captured alive, one finds with surorise, that their uncouth jabbering sounds like articulate language. They turn up a human face to gaze at their captor, and fe males show instincts of mooiestv and, in fine, these wretched beings are men.

THE wholeslc merchants of this city are still complaining about the difficulty they experience in making col lections. One of tljeir number showed us yesterday, as samples of letters he is daily receiving in answer to his little bills, two letters each from leading firms in their respective towns that are considered among the most business points in this State. Both contained words to about the same effect. The correctness of the creditor bill was acknowledged, an admission that payment of the same was due was made, and then came the request for an extension of time, on the plea that the firm had found it impossible to collect moneys due them, &c. If "straws show which way the wind blows," these straws do not indicate a very healthy condition of financial affairs in this section of this happy land. The question is, what is the mercantile community going to do about it ?—Slate Sentinel.

CASSICS M. CLAY has repudiate the 'Republican party1' followingFrank Blair in the road that is broad and has a downward pitch.- The reason, too, is the same that is to say, the lie publican party two years ago repudiated him. There is, also, another reflection namely, that both the recusants live in Democratic States. As long as the States were Republican, they were Republican—and tbey both went -out" wiih their States. The moral is obvious.— Chicago Post. (Radical.)

TIIE Louisville police have jailed, as a vagrant, a man who', a few yearsatjo, wa* the idolized minister of an Episcopal church in that city.

RISING GENERATION.

The vegetative powers of life are .strong, but

In a few years how often the palid hue. the

lack-lustre eye and cmancioted form, and the

impossibility of application to mental effort.

Ehow its baneful influence. It soon becomes ev

ident to the observer that some depressing in-

fluenee is cheeking the bevelopment of the body

Consumption is talked of. and Ipcrhaps tho

yonth is removed from'Jschool and sent into tho

country. This is one of ..the worst movements.

Removed from ordinary diversions of the cvei-

changing scenes of the city, the powers of the

body, too much enfeebled to give zest to health"

ful and rural exercise, thoughts are twned in

ward upon themselves.

If the patient be a female, the approach of the

menses is looked for with anxiety, as the first

symptott in which Nature is to show her power

in diffusing the circulation and visiting tho

check with the b'oom of health. Alas increase

of appetite has grown by what it fed on the

energies of the system are prostrated, and the

whole economy is deranged. The beautiful and

wonderful period in which body and mind un

dergo so fascinating a change from child to wo

man, hs looked for in vain: the parent's heart

bleeds in anxiety, and fancies the grave but

waitin for its victim.

Iioati of Power, Iiosa of memory, DilBcnlty of Breathing, General Weakness, Horror of Disease, Weak Nerves, Trembling, Dreadful IIorror of Death, Night Sweats, Cold Feet, Wakefulness, Dimness' of Vision, Langonr, Universal Lassitude ol the Muscnlar System, Often Kuormous Appetite, with Dc»peptic Symptoms, Hot

Back, Heaviness of the Eyelids, Frequently Block Spots Flying before the Eyes,

Great Mobility, Restlessness, with Horror of Society.

Nothing is more desirable to such patients than

Solitude, and nothing they moro dread, for fear

of themselves No Repose of Manner, no Ear

nestness, no Speculation, but a hurried Transi

tion from one question to another.

These symptoms, if nllowed to go on—which

this Medicine invariably removes—soon follows

Loss of Power, Fatuity, and Epileptic Fits, in

one of which the patient may expire.

During the Superintendency of Dr. Wilson

at the Bloomingdale Asylum, these sad results

occurred to two patients renson had for a time

left them, and both died of Epilepsy. They

were of both sexes nnd about twenty years of

Who can say that these excesses are nut fre
