A Neat Invasion. . ‘
A: hour passed on, the Turk awoke,
And to a blear—eyed minion spoke,
Between the whifis of opium smoke =
“What, he! thou Oriental bloke,
Repeatthe latest circus joke."
Shrewd answer made the catiff‘, for
He knewthe fate that was in store
If he retailed an ancient jest ;
SO, deftly polling down his vest,., -
H: bent, with salaam low, and said:
“Great Pasha, all the fools are dead
Except the knavenwho bows his head.”

DEAR GAZETTE :—It is a breezy place, this
Boulogne—sm; Mer, peculiarly so to us, com-
ing 80 lately as we have from the south of
Italy. consequently much of our time Is given
to a blazing open fire. - Beside the latter com-
fOrt we have the good fortune to find our-
selves in a. quiet hotel on the quai and a large,
rosy French maid watches over us In a moth-
erly fashion, even insisting on warming our
beds at night with an old—fasllloned'warmmg
pan. This attention is appreciated Indeed, as
there is something painful in the chilllness
of French sheets, and they are 'very likely to
be damp. The cruel channel is almost
within sight of our windows, and we are
told that from the hills about here one can
see the white cliffs of Dover, on a clear day.
Somehow our inn-rest in the Dover Cliffs,—
so vivid before—so connected in our minds
with their rare description in King Lear, has
dwindled sadly since we crossed the Channel
one windy, rainy day, six months ago. Our
stormy voyage across the ocean was a time
. of bliss compared with two or three hours of
tossing, tumbling,and rolling on that wretch—
ed little channel boat.
The spectacle of people lying prostrate on
the floor of a dark den of a .cabin; the
groans of suffering victims; the convulscd
faces, and the tears and sobs of one unhappy
gentleman, who lost control of himself, ut—
terly and entirely, all rise up before me,
obscuring the distant beauty of the white
cliffs. ‘ _
The country about here {is full of Interest
to us, though like all the landscape of France
we haveseen so far, with the exception, per-
haps,, ‘ ' Normandy, it suffers from a
painfuyof trees. To be sure there are
stiff ro" of poplars. appearing to march
across country in solemn procession, and
there are fire-wood orchards, unhappy-look-
ing willows thatcndure periodical croppings:
as soon as their poor branchesisprout to any
sort of size they are cut for firewood. It is
a most patient tree, mutilated 'and knotty as
it is, it never grows discouraged, but begins
all over again every time to ' send out shoots
and tender green leaves. And here is a
beautiful chance for somebody to moralize.
Mistletoe grows in great abundance upon
all the trees and so do crows nests. Indeed,
France is the home of the crow and the
magpie. The thatched cottages of the peas—
ants cluster about their prettystone churches,
and there is nothing more picturesque than
the moss growing upon an old thatched roof,
but, alas, picturesqueness is not always
healthy. At the meeting of roads one passes
a wayside cross, upon which are often fasten-
ed all the emblems of the crucifixion; the
huge nails, the spear, the ladder and even the
cock. The country about Boulogneis adorn-
ed with wierd milis,and it is one of our chief
pleasures to watch their great arms sweeping
against the sky. One day we visited a mill
on the upland by the sea, and the dusty mil-
ler received as with evident pleasure and
took us all Over his wind-shaken mill.
From our windows we watch the fishermen
come trotting to the market with their bur-
den of fish in baskets slung upon their backs.
Over their shoulders they carry their huge
nets rolled upon poles. Their bare feet and
limbs are dripping wet and so are the short
skirts that just cover the knee. Poor crea-
tures, they are often lost iu the dangerous
sands. It‘ isa'fiard’life’they lead. .
The women of the market place all carry
their baskets upon their backs, and they are
a very pleasant sight in their neat dresses,
wooden shoes and pretty cups with wide,
fluted borders. They all wear long gilt
ear—rings, which, perhaps, are gold. They
may have been handed down from their
grandmothers, or they may put all of their
savings into this adornment.
We attendedaiete at the fishing village
where we saw all the girls in their prttty
holiday costumes. To us the peasants of
Boulogne and the fishing village of Parteloisc,
have thepleasantest and brightest faces of
any workingwomen we have seen on this
side of the water. They look so contented
and happy. Among the old women we saw
some very fine fucesindecd. ‘
It seems to me that the women of tile
working classes in this part of the world
have little reason to regard life as cheerful] I
as they do. They lead lives of toll a‘
hardship. In Italy we Saw them working
all day in the fields with the men, spading
the ground. They looked very brown and
strong and they worked with a will. They
watch sheep all day in the fields, carrying
a distaff in their hands, spinning as, they
walk. Others carry yokes across their
shoulders from which are suspended
heavy pails of mill; or water. At Venice
we watcheda pretty little-woman bending
under the weight of her yoke all day as she
trotted cheerfully across the Piazza. It was
in the midst of the fete of San Marco. too,
but she seemed to have no time to join in the
festivities. I-don‘t imagine I should ellj I)’
being set to watch a drove of ion‘g—limhed
and fleet Italian pigs, even if one has the
blue sky above and the brightest of pop-
pies under one’s'feet. These pigs, which are
always coal black, are peculiarly wicked
looking. 4
Since I have wandered away from Bou-
logue-on-the Sea to Italy let me try to tell
you a little of the glorious days .we spent
in that land of art and beauty. Speaking
of animals—one grows more and more in—
terested in the shaggy, patient donkeys,
toiling, as they do at Naples, up the steps
of the steep, stony streets, loaded with,
heavy baskets and often with the addition of
a great lazy driver. Their bray is sunny
enough, but very piteous to me.
At Rome one grows very fond of watching
the goats with, their long drooping ears, as
they are driven in from the country night‘-
- and morning ’hy the peasants to be milked
in the streets, at the doors of their houses.
There is nothing more beautiful to look
at than the superb dove-colored, Italian
oxen (The sacred animals that I hear never
are killed) their handsome heads adorned
with immense horns. We saw the lovliest of
these gentle creatures in that quaintest of
cities, Siena, where the stone palaces are
ornamented with torch holders over the
streets, (torch holders in the shape of curi—
ous beasts in fine Siena iron.) The great
delicately :colored oxen look'so well kept
and strong as they go about the streets driv-
en, often, :by a women wearing the largest
of flapping straw hats.
Horses at Naples Wear the same harness
that was used at Pompeii, with a curious
brass erection over the collar. very bright
and gay, often ornamented with a figure of
the virgin, or a saint, also in brass and the
horses are often driven withouthits.
Italian skies are not one whit bluer than
our own fair American, skies; indeed they
are very much alike;
All I look backover the days where we
picked bright, audacious poppies from tow-
ering Roman ruins; where we, rambled
through the silent streets of Pompeii, start-
ling the green and brown lizards, the only
dwellers there now, from their basking in
_‘the sun. .. Wifere we wandered through the
galleries of Florence, or looked on at the
fete of San Marco,- “at Venice, I see it will
take morethalr one letter to give you the
fa’mtgflt idea of it all. .
I could talk forever of thatSca of exquis-
ite colors, the Mediterranean, butin another
letter. I will tell you of the orange groves,
the olives and palms that adorn its fair
shores, where the mountains rise out of the
blue, blue water, with picturesque villages
clinging to their sides, meanwhile, I am

Mr. Holmes Record, a trustworthy far-
mer, living on the shore of Maquam boy,
says The St. lbans Advertiser, saw on Sat—
urday last, \ at be believed to have been a
g :nuine sea-serpent. lie was at work near
t )6 Shore with his hired man, when his at-
tention was called to ‘thc water of the bay
by a sound resembling the‘ discharge of a
gun. Upon looking out on the buy, both
saw an animal moving in a northerly direc-
tion, with a head shaped like a serpent, only
much larger." Apparently the greater part
of the monster was’under water, but about
fifteen feet could be distinctly rseen above
the surface. The body was jointed, and
appeared like lumps connected with each
other by narrower sections. After viewing
it for come time with the naked eye he sent
to his house for a spy-glass, but it was too
small and the air too hazy to be of much
value. They saw the animal distinctly for
about two hours, during which time he ap-
peared to be about sixty rods distant, and
moved slowly, and, at short intervals, he
made a sound like the concussion of powder,
followed by aloud rear. The wind finally
changed to the north and the monster rais-
ed his head scverai feet out of water, and
turning around, went south with greater
speed; and soon disappeared from sight.
' Beth men watched him while he was visi—
ble, and could distinctly see the outline of
his shape and form. He splashed the water
ashe moved along, the propelling motion
being apparently concentrated in his head
and tail. He moved in undulations both
up and downand from. side to side. Mr.
Record is said to by prominent citizens of
Swanton be a trustworthy :mau, with a
reputation for strict veracity, and more in—
clined to make a story less than it is than
to exaggerate. The monster is probably the
same one seen several days ago by three re-
spectable citizens of St Albans, whose de—
scription coicidcs with that of Mr. Record,so
that the existence of a lake monster is no
longer a myth.”
Love Tragedies in the Land 01' the
Beautiful Blue Sky.
All Italy is killing itself for love. At
Verona a forlorn maiden has just drowned
herself. If she had waited a day longer
she would have inherited $40,000. Another
Italian girl, unhappy in her love, swalloWs
a large dose of sulphuric acid. Then amen
throws himself on a railroad line. The-
previous day he had written to his sweet-
heart that if she would not grant him an
interview she would repent. She did not
grant the interview,and now repents. Then
a cab driver fails in love with a woman
who loves another man. Gabby could not
extinguish the flames that were consum'ng
him, so he determined to kill himself. He
alSo swallowed sulphuric acid and endured
two hours of agony. At Home suicides are
almost of daily occurrences.‘ A lady rc-
spcctabi: dressed, went to the Ponte Molic
and threw herself into the Tiber. Another
lady, young and scarcely seventeen, was
seen walking at 7 a. In. down the Flu dell‘
Orso in an excited state, and when she'
reached the balustrude beyond the Appnlo
Theatre she flung herself into the stream.
She was, of course drowned, for these days
the Tiber is swollen, and the current is like, a
mill race. The body of. another young
woman who who crossed in love and ended
her “sea of troubles" by a jump into the
Tiber, lay exposed for recognition. Her lover
recognized the corpse, and his first impulse
was to follow the example of his sweetheart,
and spring into the river. He was with
difiiculty prevented from accomplishing his
purpose.
It has taken a Chicago clerk to show up
the choicest refinements of the art of dcfal-
cation. He has actually in afew years stolen
so much flfim his employers that they had to
give up business and he stepped in and
bought them out! It has long been a current
joke about New England farming that it is
turn and turn about, and that the hired man
in the course of years regularly buys out his
employer, who, however, accepting the situ—
ation of hired man himself, is able in about
an equal period to buy back the property.
But this Chicago affair is of a different type.
It was deliberate theft. The man, Edwin
Harris, cashier for McAuley, Yoe & 00., be—
tween 1871 and 1878, got away with $59,000
of their funds. He did not speculate ‘nor
gamble in other ways; he was not a spend-
thrift nor a profligatc. He simply longed to
be rich as it would give him a more impor-
tant position and enable him to take better
care of his wife and mother. He is now in
the State prison for seven years, and as he
told the judge he wished it was for life. He
was done for. The story is made more stri—
king by the fact that Harris deliberately con-
fessed the whole thing and it. was not known
or suspected till he told of it.—~002mlnt.

Congressman Updcgraff, of Ohio, express-
ed the popular Northern conception of rec-
onciliation accurately when he said in a re
cent speech in the House: “if reconciliation
comes it must come with an equal recognition
on both sides. It must come with justice,
with obedience to law and to the sovereignty
which the framers of our Constitution pro-
claimed must be ‘supreme.’ We will agree
that our battered shields shall be hung up
side by side as trophies of a common valor,
but we will not agree that the dogmas which
led to that awful conflict shall be honored
and enthroned. We will not agree that l’oy,
ally shall seek pardon of treason. We will
not agree that the unmatched deferjce of our
Union shall ever be written 0101",,1 other than
as cvcrlastingly right. We will not agree
that any man in any section of our land shall

agree to exalt the perils or sanction the here-

majestic possibilities.”

The Pool was broad, and cool, and deep;
And on its surface shifting '

Around an eddy drifting.
The alders on the further side
Hung low upon the water;
And just above o’er rocks and logs
It foamed, then rushed with laughter.

So watchful and so eager.

UP toward the rock he rushes wild
He turns again. “Be ready 1"
He slacks his speed and, pulling hard,
He elrcles round the eddy.
And now a stubborn course he takes.
No matter how I coax him
He will not move ; but there he stays.
In vain I try to hoax him.
Now quick as thought, he leaps in air,
And scattering spray around him,
He shakes himself with all his might,
In vain; the line has bound him.
He darts to right, he darts to left,
He sets the reel a spinning; ,
