SAINTS’ RESTING PLACE.
Tradition and History of tho m\6 of
Avilion.
From the London Daily Xews.
In one of his finest poems Tennyson paints
nn ideal land which, I suppose, most of us
would bo glad to realize and convert into a
great “health resort,” free from meteoro
logical forecasts:
The island valley of Avilion.
Where falls not hail, or rain, or any snow,
>,.r ever wind blows loudly ; hut it lies
Deep meadowed, happy, fair with the orchard
lawns
And bowery hollows, crowned with summer sea.
Tho real Isle of Avilion, unfortunately,
falls short in some not unimportant particu
lars of this poetic region; though it is.a very
fair and specially interesting spot. No longer
an island, though—as it was when the Brit
ons, seeing it surrounded by tiie crystal
waters of an estuary, picturesquely named
it Ynyswytryu, or “The Glassy Island,”
which the Saxons translated into OluMting
abvrig, since smoothed into Glastonbury.
Here, in some unseen fairy bower, sleep the
great King Arthur until the time shall come
for him to awake and rally his scattered
hosts and recover his lost crown. Here,
according to an Irish legend, St. Patrick lies
in the blessed odor of sanctity. And hither,
says a tradition of tho church, came Joseph
of Arimathea, with eleven other of St. Phil
ip's disciples, some thirty years after the
great tragedy on Calvary, to attempt the
conversion of the angels. A piece of
ground —a “hide” to every man—was grant
ed to missionaries by Arivagus, the King of
the country, on which they proceeded to
build a church, and to erect for their own
accommodation “tabernacles of woven
boughs,” thus founding Glastonbury. Tho
story goes that St. Joseph, pausing to rest
with liis companions on the long ride now
known as Weary-all Hill, thrust into the
ground his pilgrim’s staff, which straight
way budded and blossomed like a young
tree, and took root and waxed strong and
vigorous, and for oenturies continued, in re
membrance of its miraculous origin, to
flower every Yule tide, mocking with leaf
mid blossom the winter snow. Observe that
this miracle was duly attested by a flat
stone inserted in the ground at the exact
spot where the thorn grew and flourished.
After seeing the stone could you doubt the
miracle?
Few of the English Beuedietine abbeys
can have equaled that of Glastonbury in
wealth, in beauty of position, in architec
tural magnificence and in sanctity. Its
monks boasted that it was richer than all
save Westminster, and larger than all save
St. Paul’s. As for its position, I can con
ceive of none more picturesque. From the
southern base of the Mendips a sealike plain,
green and undulating, stretches, league
after league, away to the Bristol Channel,
and above this plain, often flooded in win
ter storms, abruptly rise numerous rocky
eminences. At the foot of one of the largest
stands the famous abbey, looking out from
the shade of its venerable trees upon broad
pastures and patches of emerald foliage nfld
yellow cornfield, and afar to tho blue edge,
where the sky and sea appear to moot. As
for its sanctity, apart from its legendary
and traditional associations, Glastonbury
may claim to be hallowed ground, because
it lias enshrined the dust of saints and
princes. In front of the altar of the abbey
church slept St. Gildas, the author, or sup
posed author, of the “De Excidio Britannia;,”
and near him St. IndracCis, the martyr,
while the bones of tho grea ; archbishop, St.
Dunstan, the first of our great ecclesiastical
statesmen, were among its m*4s precious
relics. To be sure, the monks had acquired
them by an act of sacrilege, for after the
Hanes had sacked Canterbury in 1011, some
of them journeyed to the ruined cathedral,
broke open St. Duiistan’s tomb and, carry
ing off his bones, his ring and other memo
rials, had returned to Glastonbury exultant.
For upwards of a century and a half the
ill-gotten treasures were carefully concealed
and then, relying on tho fact of this long
possession to give them a legal title, the
monks ventured to exhibit them. It was
pretended that this fortunate abbey also
held the still more precious relics of King
Arthur. In the days of Richard I. the then
abbot caused his reputed tomb to be opened,
and behold! sixteen feet below the surface
was discovered a great coffin, which had
evidently been hewn out of the trunk of an
oak. It was divided into two sections, in
one of which lay the bones of a large man,
in the other those of a female. A leaden
cross bore a Latin inscription, identifying
the male skeleton as that of King Arthur,
but ignoring the King's companion. Could
it be any other than Queen Guinevere?
Having been removed by reverent hands,
the relics were placed in a mausoleum of
black marble, which disappeared after the
suppression of the abbey. Such is the tale
as told by monkish chroniclers. What a
pity that it was not true!
FEASANTS OF CHAMPERY.
A Swiss Village Whose Young Men and
Women are not Given to Marrying.
From the London Queen.
The peasants of Champery are especially
genial und pleasant; every one you meet has
a bonjour for you, and they never think of
asking mere than the value of their excel
lent cream and milk. They are not a mar
rying people, and there are very few chil
dren to bo seen. In one of their processions
there were 85 unmarried women. Aston
ished at such a number of old maids in a
small community, I inquired if the young
men sought brides from a distance. The
answer was: ‘‘Oh, no they do not marry at
all. They live at home with their parents;
there are not chalets enough for them to
make a separate menage, nor land enough to
feed more mouths.” Therefore this village
bids fair to decrease in population.
The cure has an immense influence, and
does not allow his people to beg.
He disapproves of gay colors. Hence the
women’s hate are mostly trimmed with
black, and he has put quite a veto on dunc
?hg. When servants’ balls are gotten up in
the hotels he begs that the young men will
not give their hands in the dance to the
stranger. Ho does not think it necessary to
caution the young women. A few days ago
a young girl, said to be the prettiest in the
village, died of consumption and w as buried
two days alterward. It was a pretty sight
to see the funeral procession come down the
village. The bearers were four young men
with white ribbons and favors, and the
women all w ore white muslin veils—-the
same which they hud worn on the fete of the
Assumption of the Virgin, when aii the peo
ple, men and women, attended service in the
church, and with the cure at their head
walked through the village, chanting and
carrying a banner. The little church was
full during the funerul.service, the women
kneeling to the left, the men to the right of
the aisle. Ihe coffin was placed in the mid
dle, covered with flowers and surrounded by
lighted candles. At one period of the ser
vice the women all filed round in proces
sion, each one sprinkling the coflin with holy
water. After the coflin hail been lowered
the grave was filled in by four young men
ond the mound shaped by them, the poor
girl’s godmother remaining to superintend
ond put the finishing touches. The por
traits of tho girl adorns the shop windows,
riding on a mule like a man, and w r ith the
primitive wide trousers which the women
w < ar in the mountains. There are two or
three general shops or stores, where every
variety of article may be purchased, from
large hats and gauze veils to woolen goods
and English biscuits.
Asa rule ladies come to these mountain
Places quite unprovided with suitable at
tire. They have dr sses with “kilting”
round the bottom, which rip off and catch
on a rock the first mountain path they de
scend, often risking a bad fall. Thoil they
have boots so thin that the stones literally
cut them to pieces, and they have to resort
to the native shoemaker, who will make
'hem a strong pair of high laeed-up boots
•or about 14f. A plain woolen skirt, not
gored, is tho most useful dross. It should
tot be so tight as to impede progress, nor so
heavy as to fatigue the wearer, and there
‘dll he nothing in it to catch or tear. A
lull ilaunel bodice and belt at the waist, to
which latter a few useful articles should be
attached (knife, scissors, pins, etc.), and a
large hat, which will dispense with a sun-
are also desirable, as it is uncomforta
ble to have to hold a parasol in one hand
and pick your way withanalponstockinthe
other.
AMERICAN GYPSIES ON THE MOVE.
The Wild, Wandering Life of a People
With Millions of Dollars.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
From Nov. 1 to Nov. 15, the great move
ment of American gypsies from their wan
dering merripen, or life, upon the road to
winter quarters is in full progress. Some
begin to fly from the frosty days a month
earlier. Others wait with a dogged sort of
clinging to the tent-homes until fairly driv
en from them by how ling December storms.
Frequently tho larger bands divide into
several smaller portions. These gradually
work their way back from extreme northern
points, to their winter homes in cities and
towns, or to wdicre the climate is tolerable
for a little longer stay In their loved out-of
door existence. Their far annual pilgrim
ings are remarkable. I have visited gypsy
hands in New Brunswick whose members
owned property in Central Texas. Begin
ning on February they are traveling leis
urely in the finest of wagons, and with
droves of the finest horses, trading, selling,
dickering, telling fortunes along, as the sea
son advanced, fairly coming with the
spring from the South, until June found
them, like many a more uristoeratie wan
derer, along the shores of the noble St.
Croix. During September they would trav
erse the New England States. In October
they were across New York and Pennsyl
vania and well into Kentucky; and before
the Christmas-tide had come they were back
at their own home for a two-month putter
and preparation for the next February de
parture, perhaps, across Missouri and
lowa, away into the dingles of tho Sauk
River Valley of Minnesota. These annual
journeys often amount to 5,000 miles, an al
most incomprehensible distance when their
apparent ceaseless roadside tarryings aro
considered.
I have no doubt that a half million of the
million and a half gypsies we now have
among us are what are known among the
Romany as drom gypsies, that is, gypsies
of the road; gypsies whose heritage of pa
triarchal ana pilgriming tradition wiil no
more permit them to herd in towns, savo
out of necessity, than will foxes. Of these,
as I have previously stated in print, I have
names and addresses of nearly a thousand
heads of families, or pqtty tribes, whose
combined wealth exceeds §200,000,000.
Hosts aside from these have gained, or are
securing, little properties. These largely
consist of fine farms, country taverns
stands, toll-gate privileges, tracts of wood
lands of which they are very fond, livery
and sales stables in the smaller towns and
villages, and, not infrequently, extensive
town properties, particularly the larger
sales stables in metropolitan cities. Thou
sands upon thousands are able to
live comfortably without effort up
on rentals and other incomes. But
they are never idle, and they never fail of
passing some portion of each summer upon
the road. Their tradings, or preparations
for trading, never cease. Nor does their
fortune-telling, for the wife of a gypsiy
worth a quarter of a million-and I have
the acquaintance of more than one of these
—will as nimbly tell ycur fortune for silver
as would tho wife of the most poverty
stricken gypsy tinker I ever helped solder a
pan or patch a kettle.
NO CHILDREN.
The Offer Made by a Servant to a Lady
in San Francisco.
I think the difficulty between labor and
capital would be easily settled if the rich
could only understand bow much the poor
feel for them, sympathize with them, says
a writer in the San Francisco Chronicle.
Let somebody tell them that the poor pity
them and would really like to do something
to lighten-the burden of so much money.
There is an awful lot of genuine kindly sym
pathy among the laboring classes. When a
family wants to lyre a servant, the lady of
the house becomes aggressive and assumes
the servant has to tie suspected to begin with.
Then the servant gets mad and there’s
trouble. So many ladies complain of the
selfishness of servants. No; it isn’t so. Poor
human nature is not so bad as that. I have
heard of women seeking employment so full
of thoughtfulness and kindly feeling and
sympathy that they should make rich ladies
blush at their harsh opinion. Now, here is
a case in point: A lady friend of mine ad
vertised for a servant a few weeks ago.
She put in the usual small ad, and an expla
nation, which she thought demanded by the
circumstances, she put “No children,” dis
tinctly in the advertisement. She had found
one that suited, and was, as usual, a little
anxious us to how she would turn out.
There canto a ring at the bell, and a stout
woman came in with two children. She
was ushered into the parlor.
“Did you want to see me?” asked the
lady.
“Yes, ma’am.”
“Well, what can I do for you?”
“I feel sorry for you, ma'am.”
“Why?”
“You advertised for a servant, ma’am.”
“I did.”
“And your advertisement said you had no
children, an’ my heart just bled for you to
think you should bo so desolate, ma'am, and
I’ve come in answer to your advertisement,
ma’am.”
“Well, but—”
“I said to myself, ma'am, “Here’s a
poor, desolate woman as hasn’t got no chick
nor child, ma’am, to console herself with,
ma’am.’ ”
“But—l—”
“I know it must be hard, ma’am, an’ I’ve
come to offer myself for the place, an’ I
I’ve got two children, ma’am, as will iiven
you an’ the house up, ma’am.”
“But I’ve got a servant now.”
“Oh, indeed! Good morning. Come,
children.”
When Are Crimes Most Committed?
Prom the Pall Mall Gazette.
A statistical publication recently issued
by the German government deals with the
time of year at which crimes are commit
ted. The year taken is 1883, and of the
35(0,760 crimes of all kinds committed then
it is possible to fix the month of their occur
rence in 517,404 cases. Dividing the year
into four seasons —winter comprising De
cember. January and February; spring
comprising March, April and May; summer
June, July and August; and autumn Sep
tember, October and November—it is found
that 80,075 crimes fall to winter, 73,70!) to
spring, 81,202 to summer, and 82,270 to au
tumn. Thus spring is the most fuvorable
season for public morality, and autumn tho
mo-t unfavorable. As to the character of tho
crimes committed, it is found that in 1885
the offenses against State, religion and pub
lic order numbered 08 daily in winter, 08 in
spring, 105 in summer, and 100 in autumn.
Here summer for exceeds winter, as it did
also in crimes with which violence und
threats against officials, etc., were eoimee.-
od, tho numlier for winter being 95 daily,
and for summer 107. Of (Times against tho
jierson, 82 fell to winter daily. 00 to spring,
102 to summer, and 10s to autumn; of crimes
against morality, 00 fell to winter and 140
to summer: of offenses taking the character
of slander, 00 fell to winter and 110 to sum
mer; and of assaults 158 fell to winter and
245 to summer. It would therefore appear
that temperature has a great deal to do
with inclination to crime. The daily num
ber of petty robberies was 84 in summer
and 122 in winter; of serious robberies, 92in
summer and 115 in winter; while the cases
of receiving stolee goods numbered 77 daily
in summer and 132 in winter. The relation
b me by offenses against property was as
follows: Summer, 101 daily; autumn, 302;
winter, 90. _ __ _
