While there is undoubtedly an almost universal rererenoefnr tbe more -acred side of tha Christmas tide, and 1 truly know that at least tha Irish peasitotry have CD iunate reverence for all inat is sacred and good—CUrist-n»s Is not generally •bserved in its high and holy sense in Ireland. It is a tune for much that m tender and worthy, hnt also one for deplorable excess. In decoration the ivv and holly arc everywhere seen end procurable, and a tiny sprig of mistletoe conspicuously appears in all the homes of tiie more favored elaasos. Kioh or poor, Catholic or Protaetant, every family will possess a "Christmas block” of ash. which Is the favorlU, or of "bog deal,” found in the Irish peat banks or bogs. This is t« Irt~land as the yule log to F.iiglund, and it horns brightly for the home commg of every heart the home may own. But Christmas time in Ireland is one of ■nspeakabla loss to the bird families of tiny wrens. This tragedy of th* wren should have aluminous |)lNce in litcrstiire. iislf a million of Irish children with kippcns and elubs are beating about the hedges for vieftms. Baoredly protected dur.ng every other day of the vear, tlie wren Is now ■oucht with ferocious yelling of Coroe huntin' the wren, says P.obln to Ribhin; Come buntin’ the wren, says Richard to Hobiu; Come buntin' the wren, Bays Jaca Tilaoue; Come buntin’ the wren, saye every one! The wren is hunted, for, according to the loperstitlon, it must be found; its mangled little body is be-rlbl>oncd and dangled iti a rush-cage, or hung from a holly-hranch; and with this strange hint to alint giving swaying aloft, hordes of youogsters thnekiug: Ws bnntod the wren through frost and snow; We hunted the wren eeven miles ur more; We knocked him down and be could no( see; And wa brought him home in a holly tree!— crowd the streets in Irish Christmas days; knock nt homes and uie given coin, mid when tha night ooinci holds such wakes over the dead wrona as only a master could paint or describe. The ori^M^or this strange custom can not be tound. It is lost even In tlie rare and fecund birthspot for so much that gives Ireland snr}insBiug interest —that wild, weird, wiiitnsioal, lovable phaiitasv called "Irish tradition.” The genuine Christmas-tide which the paople of England and America know, and which has ever been such a season of joy in all Catholic countries, has scarcely been known in t^otland since tbe ilotnination of the Preebyaerian ohurob in tbe laud of oaket. The clergy have ever been iudcfatigable in their efl'orta to stamp out any manosr of celebration of the Ketivitr; and there was a time, happily long past, when ministers visited every house in their parishes to rleleot, If possible, any "superstitious” Christmas observances on the part of the people. Even to tnie day any aacred and ravereoUal obaervanoaDf Christmas in Scotland la mada bv Episcopalian fainilips and -among the highlanders and islanders, who ■till retain strong affinities with that aneient religion for whose ro-establlshment so many of their ancestors lost their lives. lu cities like Kdiiiburgh, (jllaagnw, I’erth and Aberdeen, the day is observed by the whole f ieopleaaa mere’holiday; au occa‘:ion for loeiiseand enjoyment of tlie nmre boisterous kind: although of late years tiicre is a markad tendency to cveutualiy adopt some of tbe Imroemoriml customs of the Engliab Chriatmaa. The Scotch as a people, iheretore. generally observe thy laet day of the old and tlie 6rat day of the new year with much festivity. Having no rt'iigioua signiticanee, this festivitv, until late yeara, reached ( iretty oloaely to frantic tiiarriinent and ioenee; and white the poetical literature of Gotland is as bare of Chrutmas referenced as that of England it rich and sweet, it is full of quaint old rhymes upon N#w«Year’t iimesv cuetom and cheer. In manv portions of Sooiland, in deferauoe to tha march of niodcru ideas, and fiartiooIarlT aignidoant of the gradual eneroachmenl of English thought and feeling, thaea Now Year’a tim* festivities hare btaa transferred to Christmas time, but Ihev are the old New-Year Scotch customs still, and alt the real sentiment of the time appears le be that growing out of ancient Yule, or lol, whioh was the great annual gorging feast of the i^oandinavians. Our awn Christmaa had the same origin, hnt the •arlv Christian uiiasiooariea engrafted upon tilt fastival tha aacred character it should ever poeaeaa to all Christian people. The boys in the iSeotUsh lowlands have a thyme: Oa Christmaa ultht I turned tha spit, X hunit my flngcrt—l find it yet;— but thera ia no Christmaa, as we know it, amanc tham. la Fifeahire there is also the quatrain: Yule’s come, and Yule’s gane, Aa<t wo ha'e feasted weel; 8aa Jaoh maet to hie flail again, Aad Jenny to her wheal— bvl there Ie aa Httle Christmas in Fife as ia any part of Scotland. The entire holiday Mme in Sooiland is generally kuown as Uie Daft Days, aad the only day of thera all that was ever held in anything like respect was-Han^I Monday. This was. and is, the first Monday of the new year. It ia tbe Scotch day for present-maklog, and in moj,t •f ttM rural distneta the day for fnendtv and family gaiheringa of a tender and f aaial, rather thaa an uproarious nature. lot Regioanay is the great children's and youths’ day *ef the holiday period.

Much nighor Tiiati Nlngurs ana Nearly as itrcat a Vojnine of Water. iH M. Juliiistone In African l.xiiluratlons.l When wo come to tne Vutora falls on the Zauihesi, we airiveatoue nf the lllo^t remarkable siglit* which any river in tlie world lias to show. Tiie hioad Zambesi, flowing nearly <lue soutli and l.'Kio yards wide, IS cleft bv a chasm—a crack in its bed —running athwart Us course. The whole river plunges precipitously down thi« chasm about 3tiO feet, or, counting the depth of the water, say -100 feet. '1 he entire volume ol water rolls clear over quite uubrokeii, but alter u descent of 400 tect the glassy ca-cadc becomes a seething, bubbling, lioiliiig troih, Irom which spring upward huh into the air immense culumus of ■team-like spray. On the extreme edge, on the very lip of the chasm, there are four or five raised lumps of rock which have become is.ands densely covered with trees. To a certain extent tliev break tbe uniform descent of the whole breadth ol the river. Hegiiniing on the south bank, there is first a u.l m thirty-SIX'S ards lu br«adth,and, ot com e, uiuionn in depth of descent to the rest ot Ihe river. Then Doanika, a small island, intervenes, and there is only a thin veil of water descending over the rock in front ^f It. Next comes a great fall with a breadth of 573 yards; a projecting rock sei mates this from a second great fall ol t_’o yard- broad; farther east stands Hauicii Inland; then comes a good dial of the bare rock of the river-bed uncovered bv a de-rent of water, and beyond that a score ol narrow tails, w hicii at the t.im* of lloid con-tiiulc one enoimous cu enue of luarh linit a mile in breadth. Those tails, however, yyhic'i are between tlie inlands are the fine-t, and there IS little apparent »liftorcn< cs ni tac.r volume at anv period of the year Their vast iiodv of yrater, separating into spUits of comet like torm, in loses tn Us descent a large volume of air, yyhich forced into the clctl to an unknown deiith, rebounds, and rushes up in a mass oi vapor, and forms three to six columns of steam or smoke-like appearance, y isible tweiitv miles distant. i>n attaining a height of 2t)0 or St,K) feet above the islands, this vanor becomes condensed into 0 perpetual show* r of tine rain, which produzes and sus uius the most exhuberaut vegetation on the islands and on the neighboring shores. As might be miaginetl, the moat beautiful raiiiboivs of more tbaa aemicircular extent play over the face of the falls. After the Zambesi has descended into this gulf, which ts nearly twice the depth of Niagara, its wonder does not cease. Garden Island, almost in the center of the falls, divides the cascade into two main branches at the bottom of the gulf, which flow round a vapor-hidden mass of rock, and, reuniting in a boiling whirlpool, find an outlet nearly at right angles to the fissure of the falls. This outlet is nearer to the eastern end of the chasm than to its western extremity, and is no more than thirty yanfs wide. ’ I Within these narrow limits the Zambesi, which was over a mile wide when it plunged down the falK rushes and surges south throneh this extremely narrow channel for ICO vards, then abruntlv turns and enters a second cha»m somewhat deeper and nearly parallel with the first Al>andoning the bottom of the eastern half of this second chasm to the growth of the large tree*, it tnrns sharply off to the west and forms a promontory of over one thousand vards long by four handred yards broad at the base. After reaching this base, the river runs abruptly round the head of another promontory, and flows away to the east in a third cbasni, then glides round the third promontory, much narrower than the rest, and awav bank to the west in a fourth chasm; and after that it rounds still another promontory, and bends once more in another dmsm toward the east after which tbe eiiraordinarr xig-zags of this gigaotie, vet •arrow, trongb beeoaie softened down into • wider, less abysmal tolf, which broadens •ad straightens as tho river flows eastward ia as eaaier descent.

Weiss was a blusterer, aud u was needful to arrange the sapping and milling ot h.s bank account so mat ne enufd no b.ive t me to alarm the loWn before we got out oi harm’s wav.

He did teieeraph for his balance in bank, but lu the meantime I had drawn tba $2,500 Weisa check, and made it convenient to get off for a few days’ shooting with some Brooklvn sports after alligators op tbe Okaiawahm.

"I had charge of the department of the seashore, as Cape May aud Atlantic City were culled, and the only serious drawback as to making great games in the summer of lb— was that rich men rarely travel with much money in their clothes; and the bunco ciiiet can rarely get his victim to draw any coiibiderahle sum of money »t his hotel; it excites "UspicioD. In the month of August, my last campaign, 1 met a charming oid gentleman, a retired capitalist, wlio, as the bequel showed, was qu.te a- cute as I was, though he had neversem a card table lu his life, and asqu.ckU as I can tell the story to vou my de ightful old mercantile friend’was out just $4,500. Without demurring, he sat d»wn at the escritoire and wrote out his check tor what he had lost, politely requesting tnat 1 would not u-e it for a day or two. To this I as-ented with a mental reservation The first train in the morning fouud me on niy way to the oflice of my counsel, intent on collecting my ch“ck for $1,600. But mv seemitigiv innocent ir.end was too “-oon” for me. lie had reached the bank at y a. ni , interviewing the cashier, a personal friend of Ins, and, at his suggestion, drew every dollar he had ia tho bank and turned it over in a large envelope to the (•ashitr, who placed it in his private drawer. Promptly at 10 a. m., when my connst-l’s clerk hu>tled into the hunk armetl with hii clH ck, indorsed with my counsel’s name, and reasorably sure of his game, he wamet with tbe paying teller’s polite iespouse, ‘Mr, has no money in tiiis bank.’ The clerk went awav ‘with a flea in liis ear.’ I returned to Atlantic I'lty stMii tied that nil was not gold that giittcreii; tiMU there were drawbacks even to the bunco inuu.stry. “During this time Miller aud Itaylnond were doing Newport with brilliant success, for they sold a gold brick to a venerable Baltimorean, now gathered to his fathers, for ilO.OOO in siiot ca-li. 1 had myliiatenaiitb in Cape Xluv, where they rented tlie Fourell cotiaze, an umbrageous and qmet retreat, now owned bv Colonel Lnnsing and we did a laiid-oflii-e buxine s until nueeremonioui, y driven out of town bytheuinvor, by the wav of the Itio Grande road, for the trifling otlense of winn ng a Philadelphia doctor's c eck for $2 0 bi. the son of Esculap us faving the check rather than running tbe r.bk. of getting into the newspapers. ‘ A-a rule the bunco man who’unrierflands his bu-iness prefers comedy to tragedy, and many a successful sharp has been saved becan-e of the merciless ridicule which follows the loss of money to tho-e who play with the hope of making extraordinary gains. And 1 have come to believe that tin re la no limit to banian eredulity. The richer our clientele and the more wor.dly wise tney are reputed to be the more certain they were to become ihe easy prey of a well-mannered artist lu the bunco arb, and the victim usually enters the snare like a curious antelope, attracted bv the odd costumes of the hunter, willingly waiting his doom at the hands of his di8..uised pursuer.

"’Ihe art of buncoing the public ia not without many huinorou* situations. For example, I once saw Samuel J. Randall, who, of course, did not know me. in the rotunda of the Cootinentai Hotel. A handsome and perfectly dressed youth came up to the statesman, and grasping him bv the hand said: ‘I am a nephew of Mr. D— and I am awfully glad to see you.’ The great commoner scowled at the well-dressed youth and said* ‘Go'wav, young man; you can not bunco me’.’ The youth too proud to explain, went away grieved, for h* happeueu to be a genuine nephew.” The Bear and the Earthquake.

A French, will, with German ramifications, attracted consnlcrab.'e attention on both Sides of the Vo8.res about two years ago. The testator wa^ the millionaire gUtika manufacturer, Auguste Giuin. He disinherited all relative-, and left liis treasures of art to cities and his two palaces to the poor. To eneh of the eight\-six French denartraents he left an annual incnme of $‘200, and lor the lost provinces, ALuec and Lorraine, he stipulated that a certain sum, to be known as their thare, should be expended every year bv tho ministry of war for weapons until the provinces sh’ould become French again, when the sum in ques-
