SOMERSET,

EYE.VT1DE.

Whenever, with reverent footsteps,I pars tliroutrh tbe mletic ioer

t t racmnry's itatcly palace,Where dwell the days of yore.

One scene, like a lovely vision,Ccrnes to me o'er and o'er.

'Tis a dim, chamber t

There are pictures on tbe wallAnd around them dance the shadows

Urotcsque and weird and tall,A (the flames of the storied hearthstone.

Wavering, rise and fall.

An ancient cabinet stands there,That came bom beyond the seas.

With a breath of spicy odorsCaught from tbe Indian brerie ;

And Its fluted doors and mouldingAre dark with mysteries.

There's an old armchair In the corner,Straight-backe- and tall and quaint ;

Ah! many a generationMnner and sae and saint J

It hath held In Its ample bosom

With murmur and cotnplalnt!

In the glow of the t playing,A liny, bllthsome pair.

With the music of ihelr laughter,Fill aU tbe tranquil air

A rosy, brown-eye- d lassie, ,

A boy serenly fair.

A woman sits In thi shadowWatching the children twain.

With a joy so deep and tenderIn Its near akin to pain,

And a smile and and tear blend softly ISunshine and April rain !

My heart keeps Ume to the rythmOf loves' unuttered prayer,

As, with still hands lightly folded.She listens unaware,

iThrough all the children's laughter.For a footfall on the stair.

I know the woman who sits there :

Time hath been kind to her.And the years have brought ber treasures

Of frankincense and myrrhRicher perhaps, and rarer.

Than life's young ruses were.

But I doubt if ever her spiritHath known, or yet shall know,

The bliss of a happier hour,Al the swift years come and go,

Thaa this la tbe shadowy chamberLit by hearth-fire'- s glow.

WITHEKtl) LEAVES.

For over five years I have been in

cpuken of as aa old maid, and I ven-

ture to tell bow it came to me. I amouly thinj-five-- , jet wj iark hair issilvered, aud mj voce brilliant ejesare dim with tears tbat will come inephe oi me when 1 tbiuk of tbe gold-en Isummer time wbeu I first metErl Vincent.

li was each a day as it is now,calm, serene, cloudless, witb just afttict ripple of air in tbe beated atmos-phere. 1 remember it so well, yet it

inbus been fifteen years ago. Myfather was a physician, we livedabout two miles from the bustling,busy cuy, in a sweet, pretty littlecottage, that had been my borne since

was a wee baby.Earl Vincent was tbe son of my

father's college cbom, and being inthe city be iuvited Earl to come bornewith bim, and spend a few weeks atRot-- e Cottage. 1 can see bim nowwalking up lbe flower-bordere-d foot-laib- ,

by papa's bide, so tall, nobleand handsome, tbat my dark faceflushed, when I perceived be waslooking at me with bis calm, dreary,bazel eye?. 1 knew I looked well,eunie people said I was handsome,

iib my blender, stalely .form, andGne dark eyes.

"Earl this is my daughter." saidfainer, kindly laying bis band on myraven black hair. "Claudie, allowme to introduce Earl Vincent."

lie took my idle, white band, andbowed courteously over it.

"1 am pleased to meet yon, MissMorris," was all be said, but myheart beat gladly as be spoke. Weei j'jjed our pleasant tea on tbe coolveranda, and alter that we went Uthe parlor, and Earl asked me to singto bim. Of all my accomplishments,music was my very life. I possessed ly

a rich melLw voice, and 1 did notnesiiate to eit at tbe piano and singce of my favorite airs "Le Reine "

lie stood entranced as my woudroosvoice filled tbe airy apartment with

besilvery sweetness, after I bad finish--- d

be leaned over tbe piano and saidfrankly :

"You bave a magnificent voice,an

Mi?8 Claudie; did you ever eiog inpublic?"

"Once," I answered smiling, "at aconcert, papa Ubed me to ; I sup-pose be warned the public to knowwhat a sweet voice bis daughteroad "

1 laughed merrily at bis earnestface, bow handsome he was, leaning tilwith such indolent, unstudied grace

beover my piano, my fooIiBb heartthrobbed with pleasure as bis dreamy I.eves met mine. We walked in themoon lit garden after that, and as betalked to me, so eloquently, witb biseyes full of fire and animation, I feltthat my heart was no longer my ownThat was tbe commencement, wetook long, pleasant walks together, Iwe rode and drove frequently, talkedof poetry and flowers, until I wasperfectly dazed with happiness. Iknew be loved me, but be never badspoke of that tender passion, and I 'well, I loved bim as well as my warm Ipassion&to nature wes capable of lov-

ing; my life was like an enchanteddream, until Mabel Stuart came toRose Cottage. She was a schoolmateof mine, and we were bosom friends,a more beautiful girl I never beheld,a dainty, fairy-lik- e creature tbat al-

ways reminded me of Scott's lines :

"A lovely, laughing face, halted by golden hair,Dimples hiding In her cheeks, most divinely

fair."

It was night wbea she first metEarl. We were seated, sbe and I, ina pleasant little tete-a-tet- e, cloce bytbe open window. Tbe wax lightsshone brightly down on ber perfectljbeautiful face, the calm breeze stirredtbe pale, gulden ringlets tbat cluster-ed over ber blue, veined brow, andtbe folds cf ber delicate evening dress,fell gracefully around ber slender pe-

tite figure. I gazed at our two reflections in tbe mirror opposite oaiftshe so. fair and bewitching ; 1, yes, lrTwas handsome, in my dark, rich silkand white lace, bat for all that the as

contrast was painful to me, for whenEarl came in, be started in surprisewben bis eyes fell on Mabel begreeted me kindly, almost tenderly,and I presented bim to Mabel with adark of pain in my heart.Sbe was a brilliant conversationalist, inand tbe hours passed only too quick-

ly. 1 was surprised when lbe tinyormolu timepiece chimed tbe boar oteleven. Earl rose to depart wben

be bade me good night he whisptred :

I never saw roa look bo hand- -

somo, Claudie ; I love you as I neveraia ociore."

lie shook hands with Mabel, andthen went away to the city,' promis-ing to come and finish bis visit athose Cottage. He bad been calledaway on business two days before,and ho bad driven down from thecity to see me ; because h said berrissed me.

"Well, Mabel," I questioned afterwe were alone, "bow do yon (ike EarlVincent ?"

"lie is perfectly elegant," Said Mabel, brightly. "He is just tbe eourteoos gentleman I would like to havefor a lover."

"Maybe you can captivate him,aiaoci,-- - i said laugningiy. l wasfull of happiness and could jnke witbmy Deauuiu! companion

"Perhaps I can. It miiht not be adiBicalt task, Claadie. I have wonmany a man's heart, just pour passsrla temps."

"Mabel, how could you ?" mr smileuieu away in a irown, 1 aid not UKeto bear ber so heartless. 1 '

"EaBily enongb, Claud, yoa knownever do a thing unless it is done

right, a little display of my dimples,nattery ana soil nonsense, then tbework is done, eb, Claadie :

"We bad better retire," I saidit . a .

orieny. -- i ao not want to discuss asubject I know nothing about."

We reached tbe winding stairway,and Mabel laughed in my - face because I waa provoked witb her.

V uie, von mon taie, M lie," ' said sbemockingly; "shall I escort you to yourroom mon rnnt -

"Do hush your idiotic' French,Mab, I am tired-o- t your gibberagegooa nigbt, Mabel."

Sheut her bare white arm aroundmy neck and kissed me.

"Don't be cross Claud." she coax-ed, "I was only in fan, yod know Iam all French, the accent isn't off myvoice yet, but I will try not to speak

my toreign language again to yoagoodnight" i

She flitted away, like a white shad-ow ; and did not see my contemptu-ous smile at ber slightly accentedvoice and French manners laiddown on my bed and could not sleep.

thought of Earl and then of Mabel'sfljwer-Iik- e beauty ; tbat green-eye- d

monster, jealousy, was already tug.giog at mv heart-string- s, but at last,the god of sleep overcome mf, and Islept until the summer sua was high

the heavens.Mabel and I took a drive in my

pony-pb.Tto- after breakfast. I couldnot help loving her, with her childishways and even her little sentences ofFrench bad to be excused, sbe was solovely and wilful. That evening Earlcame again. I was siogiog at tbepiano, and Mabel was standing be-

side me, ever and anon ber sweetlow alto chimed in with my richnotes. ' ":;

. ." "Yoa two wouH "make vour for

tunes on tbe staire," said Earl, com-

ing forward "If your magnificentvoices would not draw a crowd yourfaces and forms would."

Mabel laughed.She wae used to compliments I

was not and my dark eyes flashedwitb pleasure.

"Will yoa plar for me, Miss Stuart?" said Earl. "I would like tohear yoa."

1 arose from the piano, aod Mabelsat down and began singing a sweetlittle love song from "Martha " Istood at tbe open window, watchingtbe two ; tbe song was finished, buttbey were ta'king and laughing to-

gether, f ri(etiing I was present."Will yoa walk on tbe veranda

with me, M- -. Vincent ? It is juit loveout there."Mabel s words, although Bofrly spo- -

keu. Bounded 'in my ears like a deathknell, and Earl's reply did not lightenmy heart any. '

"I would be more than pleased,"said, eagerly. "If Claudia will ex

cuse as, or per baps yoa wu go too,my black-robe- d nun ?"

'Thank you," I said, coldly, "suchinvitation is not cordial i win

stay where I am. Certainly, I willexcuse yen both."

The? went cut tben, arm in arm,and my face paled with a suddenfear, when I beard Mabel's silverylaugn, floating on tbe still nigbt air.

That night my trouble bejan.Earl fame to stay at my Home unhe should go home for good tbenwould take bis wife with him, and

which would it be, Mabel Stuart orBut my mind was soon at rest

wby should I say rest, wben I neverknew any peace;

It was a sultry moonlight nignt inthe latter part of July ; all day I hadbeen a victim to tbe headache, andheartache, too, if I must be truthful ;

knew it must be cooler where- - theflowers bloomed, and tbe trees movedtheir branches in the warm, mistvbreeze ; I went ont the side door ; Iknew Mabel and Earl were in theparlor, and did not care to be seen, as

only wore a cool white cashmereneglajce, fastened at tbe waist with ascarlet cord aod tassell that lookedlike blood in the serene white moon-

light.I sauntered around the garden un-

til my robe was wet with eveningdew. I was tired and sat down on alow garden chair completely conceal-ed by trailing vines and pink roses;my heart ached, I knew tbat Hart'slove was no longer mine, and i, theproud, tbe cold and haughty ClaudieMorris, was tired of living, yet 1 badmy father to live for, and my beauti-ful cottage borne.

My reverie was broken by bearingvoices ao close, yet, I could not seewho it was.

1 could distinguish the one voicenow, that of Earl Vincent, low, ten-

der, grave. I

"It has not been long since I hivemet yon, Mabel, but in tbat short

bile 1 learned to love you, littleflower; will yoa go borne with tne

my wife; tell me, Mabel, will

yon?" j

I did not bear tbe aoower, my formswayed like a brokeo reed, and 1 fillfaibting io the soft green grass amongtbe flowers and dew. i

Tbe gardooer found me there ears;tbe morning, and carried me to mv

room after consulting father. . Forweeks 1 lay ill almost onto death, butpride conquered, and once more uearly October I went down to th

?

parlor where Earl and I bad spentsuch bappy davs.

They were both there, Mabel sorarishiaely beautiful, and Earl nobaudeomo and looking so bappyHe came toward roe and took myhand

"I am glad you are well again,Claudie," be said frankly, "we bavemissed you sadly ; are you quitestrong?"

"Not quite, thank you."I disengaged myself from Mabel's

clinging arms and sat down by thewindow, looking out at tbe still beau-tiful garden.

"I shall drive oat with you to day,Claudie," said Earl kindly and gentlyas ever. "1 should be pleased if yoawould honor me."

Just the same as he used to be, be-

fore Mabel came like a flash tbetruth dawned npon me, be bad lovedme as a sister, and I bad mistakenhis meaning. '

"When are yoa and Mab going tobe married," I questioned abrupt!,"soon?" -

"We will be married in December,"he answered truthfully, "bow did --yoaknow we loved each other, my littleone ?"

I drew my fleecy shawl around me,be bad never dreamed of loving me ;

wby bad I been such a fool, aa to be-

lieve he once did love me ?""I thought so," was my only re-

ply."I have missed yoa so much," said

Mabel's silvery, accented voice, "andI am so glad to have yoa with meagain for a 'Ze compunion.n

"Did yoa like tbe trait and flowersI sent yoa, Claadie? The fruitswere the best and choicest I couldpossibly find. I bops you enjoyedthem."

I looked into Earl's bonny eyes,God alone knew how I loved bim, Itelt faint and dizzy.

"1 will go back to my room," saidI hastily, 1 did not want bim to knowI bad given the fruit be sent me tothe housekeeper.

ne escorted me gently to my roomand stooped to kiss me as be wentaway.

"Dear little sister," he murmured,tenderly, "what made yoa so ill- -

wbea yoa were so well and bappybefore yoa bad that terrible burningfever?"

"Don't talk so to me," I criedsharply; "1 am not your sister, andnever dare to kiss me again.

He looked back at me, as he closedthe door, aod I can see him now,plainly as then, so hurt and offendedthat I called bim back, but he wagone.

So they were married in cold,snowy December, and my love-drea-m

ended.Tbey are living yet, happy and

contented, in sunny France. I oftenreceive letters from Mabel Vincent,and ber husband always sends apostscript telling me his wife growsmore beautiful every day, Aad sending love to little sister and tbe doctor.

I look across the room now as Ifinish my story, at the bent form andsilvery hair of my only friend andfather, and sigh drearily.

"Don't be nnbappy, my darling,"be said, taking off bis eyeglasses andlooking at mo. "Earl Vincent lost aprize wben be did not take yoa forbis wife, instead of that little giddyMab. Your father lores yoa Claadie."

Well, it eases ray pain to knowsome one loves me, but then 'tis bardto realize, men alwars pick a flower,and leave for others nothing bat"withered leaves," yet in the otherworld I too may gather the brightflowers, and be bappy in heaven.

loo bave my story now, gentlereader, and yoa know wby now I amcalled an old maid. Others have suedfor my hand, bat all tbe love I hadwas given to Earl Vincent fifteenyears ago.

:MTHE DBA.I1 A OF LIFE.

This drama that we call life is sofull of word picture?, the world'sa:go is so broad, and the scenes sovaried and so wide apart, aod yetdot an atom of space u a filler!, or thatcould be spared from out a lifetime,or a million lifetimes, that we arelost ia tbe labaryntb of thoughts thatcome crowding .upon ' us as we con-

template just the little world thatcomes within our circle.'

. Gll Hamilton tells us that "allgreatness, all glory, all that earthhas to give, and all that heaven canproffer lies within tbe reach of tbelowest as well as tbo highest" ; butob ! there is much of care and wear-iness and watchfulness necessary toavoid tbe snares and pitfalls andwalls tbat bar the way; but energy,perseverance and a consciousness ofright will overcome alt obstacles.

It is man himself that in bis owngreatest enemy ; and u be tails in hiltfe-wo- rk it is because he fails to" rec-

ognize the witaeas within him. Inevery oval chamber there is an angel guest, whose whispers sott andlow, would keep them from allwrong; but when conscious of theirstrength they turn a deaf ear to thewarnings, and wrapping themselvesabout with a mantel ofness, thinking and believing tbattbey are perfect in good works, knowand understand that such men werecalled the Pharisees of tbe oldentime. -

Humility is becoming at alt time.and men aud women are better judged by their works thaa by tbeirwords. "Little deeds of kiodnetu"go farther towards reforming tbe out-cast thaa a whole volume of advice.When the heart strings - are touchedby sympathy the whole bein? vibrates with the sweet, sad minor ca-

dence. The man or womaa who hasnever suffered pain does not knowhow to sympathize with those whosebodies are racked with agony; thosewho bave never suffered from hungercan know nothing of the pangs oftbe starving ;' those who have neverwanted a friend can know nothing oftbe wants of the friendless ; thosewho bave never commuted a crimecaa know nothing of the remorse ofthe criminal ; those who bave neverbeen enslaved can never understandthe. full meaning of "freedom." Bat"unto every life some raia must fall,"and to every one who arrites at theyears of understanding there aretimes when they need both the char-ity and sympatoy of their fellow-b- e

ings.Tbe poor grief-stricke- mother

when death's angel has been a visitant in the home circle and foldedwithin its icy embrace a loved bnyor girl, fiads comfort in sympathy,although none but the mother canfeel tbe mother's loss. Tie wife be-reft of the husband, who has beenher rod aad staff, aod guide throughmany years would find her cap ofsorrow more thaa --overflowing if nosympathizing friends were near- - Thehusband wben the waxen lids wereclosed forever, over the biehtless evesof the one, loved one, that has beenhis to cherish and care for, she whobad made for bim all that there wasof borne and happiness would findlife a desolation if there were no loving hearts to offer consolation. Andoh, how much love and tendernessand pity and sympathy tbe littlechildren need when the mother iscalled away. I have seen strongmen, Tien with silver bair, who badtaken the first step down from man-hood's prime, weep like little children,and tremble like tbe leaves of aspen,as they looked for tbe last time uponthe dear old face of nne they hadcalled mother.

But with the weeds comes thecomforter; and from out the ashesof the dead loves tbe new fires arerekindled.

The world is a stage wherein every act new thoughts, new impulsesand new people crowd upon the shift-ing scenes. Individualitylost when we take in tbe whole moving panorama upon our globe, andrealize bow insignificantly small weare aod bow little we know and howlittle we should be missed and howsoon forgotten; but when we takeinto consideration tbe greatness oftbe beyond, the vastness of eternitv,tbat even for us, earth-worm- s as weare, we bave "earth ia posessioa andfewer in reversion," and immortallyas our inheritance we stand awe-struck and wonder a: the grandeuroi Human existence.

We are taught that we are madea little lower than the angels, but Iwould sooner believe we are a littlehigher than the angels, for theymade perfect and pure, are fitted onlyfor a borne of purity, while man. weakas be is by nature, must ned walktbe earth, and be ever so foot soreand weary he mut bear his owntoils and burdens and pains and suf-ferings.

And then again he must bewilling to live, for life is not all bur-densome. It is only the pain andtrouble aod grief and sin that is theburaen, and tbey are tbe purifiersthe refiners.

WASHISUTO.I LETTER.

By Our Special Correspondent.

WAsniV.TON May 7, ISSO.

The District of Columbia appropri-ation , bill without any materialamendments was passed by the Houseon Tuesday in the shape reported bytbe appropriation committee. Thepassage of this bill puts tbe Houseahead, of its appropriation committeein the dispatch of business. Tbe lat-ter committee has not. now, ready,any appropriation bill to report, norwill it have aoy this week.

Next week it is expected that thelegislative, exocutive, and judicialbill will bo . completed aad reported,to be followed with the postal bill.There are four appropriation bills yetto be appropriated, viz : The legis-lative, , executive and judicial, tberiver and harbor, and the general de-ficiency. ' None ot these will containany riders. Should the Presidentsign the army bill and the immediatedeficiency bill, there ia a well grounded belief tbat Congress will adjournsine die by July 1st. If, nowever,he vetoes these bills, nnd the Democrats again lock horns with tbe President, of course tbe final adjournmentwill be delayed. There are conflict'ing rumors as to what the Presidentwill do.' A good - many Republicanssay that be will veto totb bills, buno one who makes tbe c temrtnt hasother than mere belief to oase uponthe friends ot ueueral Graot, hopethat' vetoes wilt be forth comi ig, forthey indulge in tbe belief nac'iuch acourse on tbe part of tb Prwill stir up tbe Democrats, provokea seciiooat debate, aad tbe net result will be to strengthen the "strongman's canvass." Tbe Democrats believe that tbe President will Bi'gnboth bills, . because he signed lastyear's army bill with ;the identicalatneadmen;. wica is in this years,ana mat ne will sign the deficiencybill because tbe marshal's amend-ment was originally offered by Gen- -

eral Garfield, and is really a Republican compromise.

The present House of Representa-tives has been made the victim of de-liberate imposition on the part of itsown members, so tbat the existenceof a mania may fairly be suspected,Mr. Acklen, of Louisiana, first show-ed symptoms of it ia February, whenhe presented and got printed a re-po- rt

purporting to come from thecjmmittee on Foreign Affairs, but inreality an unauthorized concoction ofbis own; and tbat be has not recov-ered is proved by hia introductionlast week of a bill having no relationto the report was supposed to accom-pany ana justify it, and which .oninvestigation, turned out to be a pla-giarism from Chief Justice Marshalin a famous case to be found in tbelaw books. Tbe contagion reach-ed the delegate from Wyoming Ter-ritory, Mr. Stephen, W. Downey,who introduced a bill "providing forthe certain painting on tbe walls otthe National Capitol" namily, tocommemorate "the birtn, life, death,and resurrection of Christ, as told iatbe four Gospels, and, on tbe follow-ing day, was accorded tbe permissionto print bis argument in favor of thebill. A week ago this argument ap-peared, covering the first fifteenpages of the Contjretsional Record,and copyrighted by tbe author. Itconsists of a poem enJtled 'Tbe Im-mortals," in Wyoming blank verse,interspersed witb metrical quotationsfrom Daate, Tennyson, "Tbe Rock ofAges' etc., and adorned with a picto-rial emblem. C.

Bebum. April 27, 10.Once a year, jnet abont tbe tima

wben tie trees Cater den Lindenbegin to bud aoi tbe tame crows intbe Tbeirgarten straighten tbeir feath-

ers in view of the comiag spring, ttAV.qemeinf! Zeitvnj publishes a shortparagraph, varying from tea to twelrelines, bat containing intelligence thatdor not vary at all, for it always an-

nounces Prince liisoiarck'e resigna-tion. This year tbe news was a fewdays late; in fact no less than a weekoverdue. Here it is thought at Iatt,and if I bad only the Alljemcine Zei--

'.tungt'go by 1 should devo.e thisletter to an enumeration of tbe manyqualities and merits of Prince Bis-

marck, and dwell upon tbe -- ir ptrableloss sustained by tbe German Father-land through bis retirement. But Igather from well informed source thatyesterday's news, as given by tbeleadnig Berlin j ournal, though quiteaccurate at present, will certainlycease to be so within tbe next iewdays. Tbe Emperor baa repeatedlysaid he cannot and will not do with-

out Prince Bismarck a.i long as belives, and the German people sayevery day tbat they tnuot spare thegreat chancellor as long as his healthpermits bim to remain at tbe bead oftbe S ate. It is said that Prince Bis-

marck has a very decided will of hisown, and that if be bad made up bismind to retire from public life nothingin the world would induce bim toafter bis determination. I do not be-

lieve that to be the case ; indeed peo-ple are ao completely reassured on tbesubject tbat tbe news itself has notcreated the least ripple on the smoothsurface of German politics. I thinkyon will find I am a good prophet instating that aa soon as ail parties a.gree to revise tbe existing organiza-tion of tbe Federal Council, . whichthey undoubtedly will, Prince ' Bis-

marck's resignation will be with-

drawn. Even tbe Berlin newspapers'which happen just now to be sadly iawant of some topic of interest where-with to entertain tbeir readers,do notattempt to make capital out of tbeevent A compromise tbat will enablePrince Bismarck to remain in office isso confidently reckoned upon thatsuch papers as the National Zeitunysum up tbe whole incident ia half acolumn. Tbe Krutz Zeitttng concludesa few brief remarks thus: "I. may betaken for granted tbat the difficultywill be settled and that the Chancel-lor will remain in the service of tbestate." The I'ttisischi Zeitumj saysthat Prince Bismarck's retirement iaaltogether out of tbe question. Noneof the Berlin papers admit for a mo-

ment, that Prince Bismarck seriouslyintends to resign. It. appears tha,timmediately on receiving the messagein which bis Highness expressed bisde.ire to be relieved of bis runctioasthe Emperor wrote back to say tbatbe could not comply with tbe Cban-cellor- 's

wish. Thereupon Prince Bis.marck renewed hia request and, afar as is known to-da- y, there thematter rests. I imagine tbat nobodykoows better than Prince Bismarckhimself tbat, at this moment, bisresignation woold be a calamity forGermany and a misfortune for tbepeace loving States of Europe. But Ibave no doubt tbat tbe difficulty befrequently has in making hia viewsprevail left bim no. other alternativethan tbat be has adopted. Tiere area number of titled nonentities, someof them members of tbe reigning fam-

ilies of the small German States, whobave never forgiven Priace Bismar-ck fof 'having made 'Germany tbegreatest andnrOst powerful nation ontbe Continent. He did it withoutthem, and in spite of them, ; in fact,it never occurred to him tbat theiradvice and opinion were wortii ask-

ing for. Tben their little individuali-ties were snuffed ont when Ring Wil-liam was crowned Emperor of Germa-ny ar Versailles. Nothing can giveyou an idea of the mortification andspite of these little men, now andtben it overflows, and Prince Bismar-ck is made aware ot its existence.Fancy what contempt such a manmast bave for sach person?.

PARI LETTEB.

( From our Egular Corr3sptv!sn)

Paris, Frasce, May 3, 1350.

There is a colony of Russian students in Paris. Tbeir headquartersare at a reading room, founded bythem in 1S74, under tbe auspices oftbe great Russian Novelist, Tourge-nief- f,

and originally situated in tbeRue Victor Cousin. It baa sincebeen removed to a more commodiousbailding in tbe Rue Bertbollet, soatbof tbe Pantbeon, in the Qaartier Lat-in. Here may be wituessed sceneVividly reminding one of the life in aRussian university town. Tbe stu-dents, male and female, number abouta hundred, and retain tbe costumeand peculiar manners of tbeir nati.country.

Tbe men may be divided into twotypes one representee' by ttose whowear long, fair bair as3 beards andfur caps, such as one sees in Germanuniversity towns ; tbe other partak-ing mote ot the Kalmuck element,with bronzed complexions, black bairand high cheek-bone- s. These latterwear tbe Russian national bloase,belted at tbe waist. Tbe women are,almost without exception, cf veryhomely appearance, and eschew eve-ry outward sign of elegance in toiletteor gait. They are distinguished bytheir rttrouste noses, pale complex-ion, short bair, and large blue orgreen spectacles. As may be imag-ined, tbe members of this strangefraternity are a constant subject ofcariosity among the indigenous popu-lation, and when one more eccentricin appearanee thaa the rest is seen inthe street, he or she ia at once sur-rounded by an inquisitive, if not ad-

miring crowd of yamins. Tbe reading--

room ia farnisned with a supplyof books, mostly of the kind prohibit-ed by tbe Russian Government, andprinted in Leipzig. Berlin and Gene-va. To these must be added theleading revolutionary periodicals andnewspapers, printed in and out ofRnssia.

Tbe majority of tbe students followtbe courses of medicine at the Ecolede Mcdecine, and some bave distin-guished themselves by passing theirexaminations with flying colers.Wben, however, they unite cn theirown ground, politics are tbe order ofthe day ; and, without asserting tbattbe members of tbe Russian colonyare all rabid Nihilists, it cannot bedenied tbat tbe antecedents cf mostof them would hardly bear inspectionfrom a Russian point of view. Tbegreater number bare been obliged to"leave their country for their coun-

try's good," without regular pass-

ports ; bat to say tbat tbey axe ail en-

emies of tbe Russian Government, ortbat their library ia tbe beadqeartetsof the . Rassian Socialist Society iaTaris, woald be going too far.
