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. _ __ _ Sachet Powders For Xmaa.
