winged with music mid pcrfkme; nnd it
W*s not until wearied with dancing, l
sought a mohientnry refuge in tho lialf-
lighted ten room, that 1 heard words wak
cning me, us it were, from a dream.
‘Gerald GienJ’
I could not Well beniistaken In the name
—it was scarcely common plnce enough
for Hint. They were talking—two or throe

'Fine, enterprising young fellow!’—
‘Great pity!’—‘Totally ruined, So Beesnnd

All these vague feaguvonts 1 heard; add
then some one sakl:

‘Wlmt can he do? Poor follow I I ulu sor

'Or his wife should. Oh, these women,

For 1 now thought that homo was tlio

llurrled by some unaccountable impulso
I sprang out tho moment the carringe

up to my Imsbnnd’s room, tlio door was

faintly under tlio threshold. Ikuockci
wildly niid.iiersisteutlv.
‘Gerald, dear Gerald! Forhcavou’ssnko,

Soiuotlungfellon themnrblii hcnrthstqnd

laid never seen him look so pale before or
so rigid, yet determined.

I checked myself, nml a robin, singing
In tho perfumed depth of apple blossoms
took up tlio dropped current of sortnd.
' ‘That’s right, little rod brenst,’ said my
husband, half joking, ‘talk her down. 8ho

Cuba.
Tlio Cnptnin General is out ngn'111 in an-
oUicrthimiiig proclamation,which, beyond
its being more wordy tlmn others which
preceded it, presents no feature oj diflor-
ence. Do Rodas’ reception at Nuevitns
was by uo means ns warm ns wns antici

Tho work of destruction still goes oil, and
thu inactivity of tlio Cubnus in tiic field is
made up by their energy in the destruction
of the property of their opponents.—
Though littlo is apparently done by the
insurgents wo ennnot loose sight of the
fact that Spain is gradually becoming
weaker nnd weaker at home. Up to this
time the. Prlm-Sorrauo government lms
bceu able to forward troops to suppress tlio
revolution in Cuba, but each day adds to
tho difficulties of the situation nt home.—
Tho Cubans ftiliy understand this. In
tiioir present situation, nnd under existing
circumstnUccs, it is the best tliingfor them.

1 next fall, pursuant to tlio Stnto Con
stitution, tho Slate will go overwhelming
ly Democratic, nnd tlio cnrpot-bnggors will
never liu lieard of nay more. They nil
dislike to fnco tills fact, nnd yet It Is tlio
plan whicli seems to promise less mischief
to their party ascendancy nt the North.—
Tho alternative schemes nre, first, to ngreo
to tho demands of Hullock nml Bludgett
to allow them to prolong liullock’s term
nml tlio term of tlio Slate Ixigislaturo hy
iicir o;vn not until 1872, and to bnnkrupt
tlio finances of Georgia, nftor tho ihshlon
of North Carolina, Florida, and South
Cnrollnn. Tito second plan is to recon
struct Georgia a third time, put lmr unddr
military government, and provido for an
election nt some ftituro time by n pnrt of
tho legal Votcre, so ns to mhko n Repub
lican Stnto of her if possible. Rut tho
majority do not beliovo either of theso
plans cnn.bo safely adopted.
It Ib urged that the Northern States will
not allow this question of reconstruction
to ho ro-opened ovory month to stilt tho
icccssitios of Rndlcms. On tho whole, it
,s believed by t hose who have made a care
ful estimate of the vote of tho State, that,
though tlio IMnglmm amendment will bo
voted out,jyot that In llou of it there' will
be adopted some provision, like that al
ready foreshadowed by a Republican Ijon-
ntor, declaring that the Logislnturo linvo
iio power undor tho Censtilutlon. to pro
long thoir own tornis of office, nnd that to
do so would bo such a violation of Repub
lican principles ns would Justify interven
tion hy Congress to correct it. Htillook is
iu constant attendance upon tlm Senate.—
It is said that lie feels very llttlu interest
iu tlio ndmlsslon of tho two Republican
Senators lately elected, inasmuch ns they
were chosen in caucus over ills own favor
ites, nnd llmt his principal concern is to
lmvo tlio term of the Ijegislnturo prolong-
ed so ns to secure tho ndmiRslnn of six
cars of Foster Blodgett, ono of the rebel
icroes who captured FnrtPulnski when
Georgia first socedcd. Tho postponement
of tlm Georgia question was nnt n volun
tary act, or ngrocablo to the Senate Rophb-
lleans. It’ wns resorted to because they
did not know wlmttodo with her.—IForiii.

EfTcct* or the Famine in Jcroenlem
A letter lias been received in London
from tlm Anglican Bishop of Jerusalem
which coroborntes^Aim-statement made on
tliis painful subject by Sir Montefloro.—
The bishop in his letter says:
“A small donkey’s load of water costs
Od to tlio poor .lows whose family income
is la id per week. Many Moslems nnd
nominal Christians are in tlm santu posi
tion. AVhnt is most drcadftil to content-
{ date is tho fact that springs near Jerusa-
em are drying up. But tlmro is another
moro tcrrlbio calamity still. Tlm locusts
aro spread over tlm mountains of Judnh

in tho plain Of Sharon nnd Galileo, hav
ing conm to lay their eggs, which will bo
hntolled beforo tho harvest, nml as the
Arabs say that cachcouplo lay two hund
red eggs, countless millions will appear,
enting every green thing, poisoning the
ground, and thus preventing grass grow

Astmngo monster ivns captured yester

for fish, JA’e know not wlmt to call it, or
whnt it looks like, or how to describe it,
for )t Is unlike nny creature of the earth,

is nut a fish, nor is it tut alligator or croco

wo have often sccti in books, of the mythi
cal dragon.
It is a hideous looking and appaYe'clly
sa^vngc monster—tlio last mrtnnnt of a pnst
age. It lias a huge, slimy, scaly body,
short, strong legs, aud immense claws,
long serpent-ilke tail, nnd sharp teeth sot
in, like thoso of n saw. It clmWB Up rav
enously everything with which it comes in
contact, but seems loth to icavo tho water
oven in quest of food, nud can only be seen
when drawn out by tlm chain with which
it is made fast. AVc should judge it to he
nt least ten feet in length and weighs, prob
ably, 500 pounds. AVlmn provoked it
