It was a wild and driav -part of the country, in the plains of India, while jour neying, that one day a fnend and-my sen sat down under the shade of a banjan tree, and we were en Wing a meal, of j various edibles, .when we were disturbed b' the ar rival and noise of a troop of large black- faced monkeys; the branches overhead lit erally swarmed with them. They looked on ns as interlopers, no doubt; and for some time their gestures appeared- so menacing that we were apprehensive they would dis- made to ride backward on a donkey, hold pure tne grounu wuu us. We, had iust risen from our meal, vhen j . . , IIumoks of German Lavt. A work entitled "The Humorous Element in Ger man Law," iust published at Berlin, de scribes the punishments which nsed to be inflicted in various parts of Germany 111 some cases up to a very recent period with the object of Lumiliating culprits and exposing them to public ridicule. A com mon punishment was that of going in pro cession through the streets of a town or a villlage in a dress covered with images of swords, whips, rods, and other instruments of corporeal chastisement. In Hesse, wo men who had beaten their husbands were tell the story with admiring gratitude in their tones, but no man knowsphis name.

It was quite dead. The clamor that arose above ns on the occurrence -of this calamity was deafening. The whole as sembly of monkeys clustered together for a confab. Long and loud were the chat terings, and various the grimaces of the tribe, eachjndividual vicing with the other in the loudness of his tongue. Their looks and gestures made it apparent that they suspected ns of being the cause of the death of their juvenile comrade. " s But we were unarmed, and the good sense of ie monkeys seemed to tell them that there must be some other culprit. Having come to tn." conclusion, one monkejT, ap inr his tail, on iwhich occasion the animal was led through the streets by the hus band. This custom, existed in Darmstadt up to the middle of tht seventh century, and was so common tlitit a donkey was always kept ready for tie purpose in the capitaV'and the neighboring villages. . At St. Goad, the miller. Wife? allowed a certain quantity of wood from tire forest belonging to the town, in return for which he was bound to supply a donkey to tho munici pality whenever required for the chastise ment of a scolding wife. Another old custom was that of punish ing ahen-pecked husband by removing the roof off his house, on the ground that "a man that allows hiswife to rule at home does not deserve any protection against :.wi nr.A n-oar.oi."f Tf two -bmen fouffht wi"v w v- 7 ' 7 1 I - 4.

Instinct immediately turned sus picion into certainty. He placed the corpse on the ground again, and turning his gaze in every direction, endeavored to pierce the foliage in search of theTOurderer. After a little while something seemed to rivet his attention. In m. instant he had mounted the tree, sprung to the spot, F.nd with one clutch had seized a long whip snake, with which he hastened totUe ground. Kow there oecurred a nmst curious scene. The whole monkey rabble, following their leader, were on the ground almost as soon as he; then as many as could range them- each side of the snake. 'Each monkey put bis hand on the reptile, clutch I know an old widower who is now liv ing with his fourth wife, a most lovely and estimable woman, who is nearly gone with the quick consumption; and I know of a dozen fascinating females who aro alarm ingly profuse in their expressions of sym pathy for him in the matter of his prospec tive bereavement.
