There isa greater feeling of | bostili ¥ felt against it in the country than in cities, from the fact that the population of the jatter are glad to wejcome such bright, cheer- ful and bustling representatives of the trees and fields without inquiring too closely into their antecedents and characteristics.

These the sparrows were imported to destroy, and they accomplished their mis- sion with thoroughness and oe eye They keep the rose trees clean and make war upon insectiverous pests of various descriptions. That they fight other birds is doubtless true, but their very pugnacity is in their favor.

Her body was discovered early Saturday morning by her husband, who cut the rope by which it was hanging and took it to his house on a wheel- barrow. The neighbors did not know of the death of Mrs. Luff until latein the day. Mr. Luff watched the body by himseif Saturday bight and the funeral took place Sunday. He did not notify his step-children, who live in New York, of the death of their mother, and they only heard of it through a neighbor. ‘Mrs. Thomas Thorp, of No. 77 2d street. New York, a daughter of Mrs. Luff, is stopping near here, making inquiries in regard to her mother’s death. It is said that there were suspicious marks on the body. Luff says that she was insane about religion, and that she committed Suicide because she feared she was not leading @ rizbt life.” ANOTHER DELUSION DesTROYED. — Last night I attended one of theso called “students bails” at the Chateau Kouge, a favorite resort of the students of the ‘Quartier Latin,” who 5 there in great numbers, as do many others, oth natives and foreigners, to dance with the gilseties. Qut of more than fifteen hundred Women who were dancing in the great coy- ered pavilion and out in the gardens about the litue lake and under the trees, there were only two who could possibly be called pretty. All this talk about the charming little modistes (who are anything but modest in Paris) is bosh. They are yery plain, and many uyly looking, and by the way, If it were not for their superior skill in dressing, and also in en- ameling, painting, building up their eyebrows aud other artificial adornments, no one, bot even the least observing male biped, would ever think of Freneh women in the aggrezate as equa'ing our Jovely American girls, in either style or beauty. In manners they are far inferior. They err alway? to one or the othe extreme—either too modest (whieh is ge eal compulsory) or too forward, or as we say in America, “too cheeky.”"—[ Paris Letter to Newark (N.J.)

Along with some friends, M. Montenegro set out on the Is'h to examine irto the foundation of the re. rt. A tradition concerning such a monster as existed irom “time immemori, After having travelled on that day about (wo leagues northeast from the village, they reached the Spot where the inhabitants of the neighbor. hood had tr. ced signs and tracks, which, M- Montenegro states, positively prove the exist- ence of such an animal. The most detatied accou some five & stated that here, ears before, a sort of platform about fifty yards diameter had been formed at of a large rock cropping out from & hillside.

At that time the ground Was observed to be undevmined, nat intervals. These occurrences wer erved some three days before M. Montenegro and his friends visiied the place, which they saw all to be in accordance with the ements, Immediately on examining the locality for themselves, they eame he conclusion thas there were signs not of one but of two auimals, Probably of the shape of Luxe fishes. Jn commencing Uheir work these animals seemed to pursue a kind of an upheaving movement, As the bottem of their hiding place was loose, shifting ground, the surface of this was seen to while trees were shaken out and e: crashing. The noise of this seemed to scare the animal away.

The other animal, which left behind asmatier track, and therefore was believed to have been the female, went at once to the right, to the outlet of the pond of water before referred to, leaving behind it everywhere the sa marks as the other. h @itches it tui back also, undoubtedly encountered its companion afte: me ward. The whole ground had become irregularly disturbed aud broken up, and the power of these animals is shown by their being able not to throw up huge masses vi soil. Dut even | to move rocks weighing more than thirty quin- pals. The animals seem to be covered with a skin clad with Seales or plates, the ae of which, imprinted on the soft clay or loam, bear much resemblance to those of the garrob. tn the mud. It — that the shape of these animals must be like that of the guapote. The length of the body is at least twelve varas, the height three, and its thickness 1.5 varas. A tradition about such an animal as this has been kept up, unaltered, without contradie- tion, for more than a hundred years. It is de- scribed in general as a large suake, and called “sterpe,” on account of its extraordinary size, aud living in chaquites.

INFLUENCE OF GASLIGHT ON THE Eve.— The German Minister of Instruction has re- cently issued a report on the iniiuence of ¢33— light on ihe eye. The conclusion arri is that no evil results follow a moderate use of ey if the direct action of the yellow flame on the eye is prevented. For this purpose screens or shades are employed. Grave obj however, exist to the use of zinc or lead shades, most evils affecting the eye being traceable to them. Their use. it ts said, inevitably tendsto blindness or inflammation, and other harmful effects. The milky-white glass shade is the best, as it distributes the light and hasa grate- ful effect on the eye. The burner should not be too close to the head, as congestions of the forehead and headaches result from the ra diated heat.
