[From the Courier-Journal) BY WALKED KttSNEBY. Mcnilas latamia ferret Quoin, ufri niendoeum etmcdicananm?—Horaea. Charles Pemberton was once in a very great perplexity, arising from be ing apparently in love with two young ladies at the same time. By nature lie was conservative. He bad never been able to swallow without a twinee the tenets of any political party; nor was he altogether convinced of the truth of any of the warring creeds. His imagina tion would he pleasantly impressed with ■ home-like Episcopalian rites, and his intellect unflinchingly scaled the loftiest heights of Unitarian daring. Though this may Stamp one as the worst kind of a radical in the opinion of some, up- blinded people will see iu it a steady conservatism. This tendency to be just to both sides made him a conserva tive in love as iu other things. Which one of tlic young ladies lie regarded the more highly he had prompted his interest and criticized his heart to find ut. Ethel McHenry was one of the wealth iest girls in the city of New York; and, if disposed, could point with pride to a long line of worthy ancestors. With ine exception she never spoke of any of hem. The person who thus distinct ively claimed her loVe and allegiance was a poet, represented in bis picture as possessed of dreafhy, wayward eyes and curling hair. He had wiitteu merely as a gentleman who wouid cui off his right hand rathe r than make auy effort with it to have his verses publish ed, His songs hal weaved quaint fan- ties around a few firesides and had died away iuto silence; so 'hat now the waste rooms of memory might migh : ho searched in vaiiv for their faintest tracing iu the dust or the lightest echo of their music. Iu appearance Miss McHenry was ii brunette, mid rather tall. This, of course, cun he no adequate description of lie.r You may see a thousand tall brunettes in a single day. To atteiupi a detailed description ot her iv to re duce her to a figure in mutiicuia its. A gleaming sword was not brighter; the lark’s [iroinl song was not more joyous; a spiric itself was not fuller of life than she. She was wu'at might be called a pointed talker an 1 was apparently sound ut heart. S'ill there were, m , meats when tile In-art of a Grecian s’.u. He seemed lodged in her breast. Self possession, one of her grand trails, par took of heroism, for she was as sensi tive to unkiuduess as an aspen is to the wind.. That she was an enthusiast it is hardly necessary to say. Her features, cviiicized separately, showed no par ic- ularly great beaty, but her eyes were twin charms, u dream-in whose myste rious depths you Saw perfect dances, heard the sweet cadence of the feet and music, and were transported to .scented fields aud meadows. l'ou have seen perhaps a picture that was drawn for the general effect. Single, clear dash es were wanting, but the blending of suggestive diiu lines produces a picture that haunts you continually. Ethel McHenry’might be said to be like one of these drawings, ami when speaking there was the same unity iu her de meanor. The soft voice, enforced by the play of the eyes nud the expressive countenance, became quaintly elo quent. Of course a flock of lovers trailed af ter hor most of the time; some influenc ed by love as others were by mercena ry feelings. Here might be seen a young attorney, easy, languid, irrepres sible, with a. nose which was a tip-lifted protest against the ennui of existing things. Paired with him was another man of law, void ot fees and cases, but Hot of hope and imagination, a person whose expressive, countenance showed that he was born hungry. There was also a wealthy physician, who was a blood-letter, and consequently, unen durable to female eyes; and, again, a poor devil of the same calling who could not have boaideil anywhere but in a dissecting room without being a breathing lie, There was a young pro fessor wlio had strong orthodox notions on the continental method of pronounc ing latin, and paraded his views with *11 the excitement of a Deddler spread ing out his wares before you. An in experienced clergyman had a few mel ancholy flickering aspirations. In strong outward contrast to Inm was a military chieftain who had shown fine talent in running away from the Indi ans out West, but who was n more val-: iant warrior than George Washington or Napoleon in certain situations, as wheu he was talking or thele was absence of danger. most, for she would frequently appeal to him in support of some idea of hers on the disiinctive ground that he was the man of sense in the noble band of lovers. It was when surrounded by persons such as these that he could not like her. A quiet chat with her reveal ed different hues of character, showed many fancy-tipped thoughts, almost trembling into poetry aud the crude beginnings of noble purposes. Only put an aim in her, he thought, and she would make a uoble woman. If these asinine lovers could be weeded out of her acquaintance a great Step would be taken. But how to do it puzzled him. If he were to undertake, even broach the task, she would think him fighting under the cloak of a mercenary, and •voulc probably credit him with jeal ousy and all sorts of diabolical purpo ses. Fitful would be his gleams of love for her as long as her toleration of such persons continued. Confidence under such circumstances was purely out of the question. It was about this time when lie was veering hither aud thither by this or that resolution that he met Jesse Mere dith, who took his attention temporari ly from its object. She impressed you as a person of innate delicacy. Talk ing with her was as cooling aud re freshing as ice-cream. Everything she said seemed freighted with keen obser vation aud experience. Each sentence was cold nud clear as a November, day, meant so much, no more., aud was a neat gem of good sense. Her appear - auce ah'] her clia’racier wore of a piece, her complexion being li -c parian mar ble, her form trim, lie.r touch dainty, and her dress a good fit. She was sel dom ruffled at anything, though she was a school teacher, and had facilities fog being bored to which other people:, are. strangers. As Pemberton was somewhat of a literary maniac, she always started lit erary subjeat vith him. Her opinions on books were models of good sense nud keau criticism. For some time be enjoyed her society, and began to fan cy lie had found the desirable perfect being; but there was a defect souk * v.hme, wuicli his superstition made in superable. Sometimes sue seemed self ish, even u pessimist, but how beauti fully she spoke of friendship! Again she was filled with it deadly ambition that would‘yield yield love to nt> m.in. So that after some mouths of associa ion he found all his ideas and resolves sea-tossed. During this time he had greatly nog ectod Miss McHenry, and he thought with eagerness of the pleasant, auima- red times lie had spent with her. Cue evening, when lie felt particularly! dis satisfied with Miss Meredith’s calm beariug, he resolved to make some amends for his neglect. It was with more elatiou than lie had felt for some time that lie stood before" the noble Fifth Avenue mansion and rang the bell, Being ushered at. her request iu to the parlor, he fouud her iu the com I any of one of the Suitors. As she came gracefully to meet him, she was almost angelic iu beauty; weird she seemed as a iuv of the firelight, and so t and gracious as only a woman can be. Pemberton "as on wings. • He would sit and talk the suitor out of countenance, aud out of the parlcr; for he rather prided himself "upon never being at a loss iu conversation. But he miscalculated the length of till suitor’s ears, which were of such unu sual aud truly asiuiue dimensions that nothing could abash him. He was as securely protected against the shafts of wit as Hector was against the darts of war. Pemberton put his useless weap ons bock iuto his quiver, and sat in gloomy silence. To add to his rage, the lady paid the kindest attention to the suitor’s most trivial observations.— He soon found them discussing the plays and operas iu a style that nearly drove him frantic. He did not deem it possible for her to make such conven tional remarks about subjects which she could talk of with originality. Fi nally he could stand it uo longer, so he got-up, examined in a rough way lhe pictures on the walls, winch he had seen probably a buudred times, and with an inward curse and an outward smile announced that he was going.— She was clearly sorry at that; her coun tenance suddenly fell, Mil the gay hingli stopped as an unfinished harmo- Filled with these pleasant impres sions, he had almost determined to stake his happiness on her decision.— He did not, however, intend to make any expression of his feelings until he had thoroughly criticized them at home, (xo BE CONTINUED.'} PITCAIRN ISLAND. Pitcairn Island, the home of tbs de scendants of the Bounty mutineers is about three miles long by two wide,and very mountainous, being about 1,200 feet high in some parts. The cocoa- nut, breadfrirt, pineapple, and many older, fruits grow in abundance, es pecially oranges, lemons, and citrons. There w ere three years ago 73 inhabi tants all told, men'womeu and children, some being very handsome; the women having beautiful hair, aud allowing for the hot sun, havefairer skin than would be supposed being hardly darker than the Europeans. They depend on pass, ing vessels for all their clot lies aud ag ricultural implements, Ac., always go ing barefoot, except on Sundays, when some few cf tliem'w ear boots. They grow sweet potatoes, arrowioot, and lu ll ian corn which they give in exchange for clothes. The chief person iu the is Simon Young, grandson of Mid- hipman Young. He officiates in church on Sunday, also at the day aud Sunday schools; they use the Church of En gland service, and general y read a ser mon from the “Sunday at Home,”- of wliich they have some volumes. All have a fine ear for music, aiid sing most beausifolly. When anything has to be decided they call a general meet ing, and go by the majority of the votes. 'The oldest person on the island is a step daughter of John Adams; sh is SI years of age, aud a hale old wo man. Th'-v still bad a cauuou which belonged to the bounty and a "carped ter’s vise. Consumption is the oiib disease known among them. ‘ There is a great scarcity of water, which, tli Star, will force them to leave the i laud. — TEE EASY-GOING CLERGY OF ITALY. The New York Shipping Inst, iu an iiat.oio on the future of' trade, says: “Though the year now drav.ing lo a ciose lias been a trying one to business men, very fc - v of whom have been able to add anything to ihier.capital, there is, altogether, a more hopeful feeling regarding llie future of trade ihaul for live years at least, inspired by the belief that the shrinkage iu prices is at an end. aud that wiih a sound currency calculation can be made in connection with prospcctius transactions with some degree of certainly. Confidence may uuw jbe expicted to gradually revive, aud this will give an impetus to fresh enterprise -and emoloyuijut to. capital that has ioug been iu a waiting atti tude.” Besides a heavy aud excellent harvest of ice in New England the crop in the Middle and some parts of the Southern States promises to j-be considerable. Al Hichmoud they hive titled ioo houses with ice solid, clear seven inches thick, At Louisville aud Nashville ice has been gafchereij. aud in the Western States, as well as iu Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey. Maryland and Delaware the commodity is being stored away a foot thick by thou-aud of tons. There is a probability that the cold weather will be prolonged in the North at least, and we shall, therefore , rejoice in an ample supply of ice even if we should have the dry and warm summer that is predicted for next year. Dr. Charles Carroll O’Donnell is a member of the California Constitutional Convention, in which body he strongly advocated the most rigorous measures agaiust newspapers. The San Francisco Chronicle said that he, being a quack, probably had a personal motive iu try ing to muzzle the press. The Doctor im - mediately began a libel suit. At last ac counts the Chronicle had proved in court that lie had falsely represented himself as a graduate of a medical col lege, and that lie had been three times arrested for malpractice. The province of Cara, in norrh Bra zil lies on the sea, and extends back to a range of monntams. A drought rendered the sterile soil, lying under the equator, unproductive, and the people rushed to the cities for food—this time I The Italian Bishops are now, for the most part, mere creatures of the Je suits. They are utterly destitute of personal initiative, and are seldom gift ed with either talent or learning The inferior clergy are at once poor and ig norant. Widely different is the char acter of the Homan Catholic hierarchy aud clergy, taken as a body,in England, or France, or Germany. These we see prelates of ability, energy aud erudi tion, laboring with untiring zeal for the domination of their Chnreh. In what Italian province shall we find the type of the restless and intriguing priests sneh as he is painted by Emile Zola iu his Conquele da P/assans, a type only too familiar in the provincial soci ety Loth of France and England! The iucnmbeut of a parish iu a large Italian town—when Ills parishioners present a mixture of Ciericals, Liberals and old uoble families—plays the part of a dex terous diplomatist on all political ques tions. When he can only count on an element of fanaticism, he plays the part of a fanatic. lie i Liberal in the Yenitioii, Lombard, Genoesseand Piedmontese provinces, those iu which the Pope recognizes as legitimate the soreriguty as Humbert I.

Littie progress has been made iu the intellectual aud moral condition of the Italian parish priests since the (lay when, Ihirty-one years ago, Pius IX , shortly after his accession, to Massimo d'Azeg- lio: “You may find here aud there an honest and intelligent parish priest, but taking them is a body they are mere dirt ” (faago). It is a melancholy fact viiich must suggest most paiuful •ffiee.iious to all who aro really interes ted iu the moral and religious welfare of Indy, Iliac the parish priests general ly stains ,n the scale of information and character below the mounted cara bineer or ordinary tax-colkcior of his district; and no surprise need be felt if ilns state of matters so deeply engross- s the thoughts of Leo XIII. THE AFGHAN TRIBES. TEN YEARS AFTER. No Hope fob Smalls.—There is no hope for Congressman Smalls. He can not ecsape a three yi ars’ term in the State, prison of South Carolina except through the clemency of Governor Hampton, and there is no reason to suppose that,such clemency wiil be ox. tended, for the circumstances of liis case v.ill rot justify it. On the- 11th day of Nov. 1377“ he was convicted accepting a bribe, and Ids sentence was pro nonreed. He appealed to th* Su perior Court, aud the appeal has now been dismissed. M*\ Smalls is, there fore, liable at any hour to be summon ed from the House to his homo to en ter upon his penal servifade. For the past year he has been voting Republi can party by the kind permission of Gov. H; mpton. He was the' candidate of that party at the late election, and is the subject of a portion of Mr. Hayes’, message. He has been held up to the country as a political martyr. He is rim ply a vulgar criminal.— Washington Post. The New York World has been glea ning facts in regard to the charges of bulldozing and intimidation of voters in Massachusetts at the late election. A correspondent writing from Boston, says: “We have in Massachusetts a Christian-like intimidation, and, by way of illustration, the following story of a strict old Presbyterian; who em- Perhaps the most lawless of all thei Afghan tribes is the frontier tribe, the j Waziris, who are born warrior* and] splendid horsemen. It was these men | who lately lined the sides and summits of the mountain in the Kliyber Pass for the purpose of preventing the passage of onr friendly mission and its escort.— The head men of the Waziris are, it ap pears, now periodically summoned to Cabal, whence they return bearing handsome presents from the Ameer. The members of the tribe are, however, an astute set of fellows; and it is not at all improbable that they may eventual ly desert Shere All in spite of his pres ents, in order to accept regular ray from the Indian Government. For though essentially fighting men, the Waziris are fond of money, and are not only dreaded by their neighbors for their ferocious bravery, but are likewise envied for their wealth. They posses a a mans breed of horses, which they have managed very oleverey to keep to themselves. These horses are distin- guishedj.by a peculiar curve and twist of the ear, aud are remarkable for their wiry, hardy frame and high temper. The tradition is that the Waziris stole the royal progenitors of their studs from the stabios of the Persian Nadir Shah when he invad India; but the Waziris themselves assert that the con queror bestowed the precious animals upon their ancestors as a mark of his admiration of their brilliant horseman ship. They never shoe their steeds, but ride them bare hoofed, and even at times-lsare backed up and down the dan gerous mountain passes, and if they were verifubele centaurs; and s.c highly do they prize tlicir exclusive possession of the breed that they will never sell a in are, though a market is held periodi cally at Tlml for the sale of horses.

Nor pensjold, who directs the Swedish polar expedition in the North polar waters, has written a letter to a friend in which he gives a highly inter- cstiag' , |account of the vilage of Chabar- ovo, Novo Zambia, inhabited by Snmciedes, from whom with, consider able difficulty, he obtained specimens of their gods, which for the most part r esemble large dolls. Although con verted to Christianity these cu nous people retain many of their old cu stom s and sacrifice on their altars to gods. A Russian who lives in Ghalmrova in sum mer for trading purposes took the pro fessor to see one of these altars iu a cavern, which is regarded as sacred. Although the Archimandrite had de stroyed it thirty years ago, and had raised a cross on its site, the Samoiedes have found in the neighborhood evi dent traces of receut sacrifices to tne gods, whose images were placed around. The New York graphic mourns be cause, “there! is not a single negro elected to the next Congress, alihough- tliere are undeniable Republican major ities in several of the Southern States ” There is an undeniable Republican ma jority in Michigan, too, but there doesn’t seem to be any negro chosen to Congress from the State. ■ Iu fact,there doesn’t seem-to be any negro chosen for anything by the Republicans of Michigan.—Fme Press. ■—*■»-» Mrs. B m ner widow of Lt.

According to this German The proportion of land covered with forest throughout Europe is 29 per cent., of which Russia and Sweden fur nish the territory is covered -with woods, and of this some 200,000,000 acres are covered with pines ond oth er cone-bearing trees. Sweden aud Norway have 3A percent., chiefly birch, maple, pine, fir and willow Austria has 29 per cent., Germany has 26 per cent, and France 17. Fur below these comes Spain, with its cork woods and evergreen oak forest, covering 7 per cent, of the land. Portugal comes next with 5 per cent. The percent age annually decreases, in all countries rapidly. As far back as 1833 it was estimated that timber was cut down yearly in Great Britain, and Ireland alone to the value of §2,000,000. The ’Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun thinks that the Ar. my bill now before Congress will fai^ and gives reason why it ought to fail. He says that the numerous staff officers who will be retired under it, allege that Gen. Sherman has already prepar ed a list of;tlie victims in tjie inter est of his own partialities and parasites, and that the bill really makes him a su preme military despot, renders him en tirely independent of the president, and iu effect makes the Secretary of War his subordinate. A* army officer who has studied the bill with cure says that certain features of it would permit a ci vilian to be arrested at any time at the mere wiil of the general.
