IMF. TF.iIKOK* OF UT SlilHT ! rhr Ureal Tlilai Wave on the l,nkr! BXTBAOBMSARY PHENOMENON THE HOT TOM OF LAKE PONCHAIITIIAIN EXPOSED TO VIEW. Ui>on tho arrival of the reporters m the lake shoro a scene, it might, lie truly said, of almost ghastliness was |iresented to the sight. The waters of the lake had com monood falling about 10:30 o’clock at the rate of about one foot in ten min- 1 ates, and by midnight the bottom of I’ontcliartruln lay exposed to the view, a dark, dreary desert of sand. Some expostulations hod tho effect of making tho cabby drive Ids horse out through tho mire and mud which lines the shores, out into the rolling, sandy bottom of tho lake. There was some terror exhibited at Hrst on the part of the horse at this venture upon this undiscovered land, but after he had become accustomed to the firm footing of the sandy bot tom he traveled aloug with the same ease as If upon the shell road. The night was unusually dark, and the lightning, in fitful flashes, now Slid then threw its glare over the broad waste. The bottom of t lie lake vas so unlike what the imagination lad pictured it the surprise was more narked. As the reporters drove further and I farther out into tho lake, new scenes j broke ujion their vision. Pools of i water left after tho subsidence of the I water was alive with llsh, wriggling and twisting for more room. Curious and hitherto unknown Bpeoles were seen on all sides. Green sealed, sli my creatures, unlike any thing hith erto caught, were making the little water loft lively by their efforts tose euro an egress to tho deep sea, and they lashed the Hood in despair. Oh all sides the hills and miniature valleys were covered with curious shapes left there by the fleeing waters. Here resting on its side was an old charchoal schooner, with a large car go on board, the hands looking over lor sides the picture of dismay. 'There, shapeles and weird, lay the remnants of some sunken vessel, her ribs white with the barnacles gath ered on her timbers, and like the ghost of departed days, silent, gloomy and bluek. Driving further out on the lake’s bottom were passed grin-i Suing skulls of lost sailors, looking up toward the overcast heavens us peti tioners for Christian burial. The scene was anything hut one calculated to gratify the esthetieal tastes of those who delight in tin beautiful. It. was like some passion ate, dark study of Dore exciting, ■ wonderful. After a long drive over this new land the reporters ordered tho cabby to go ashore, and a journey [of an hour brought them up to Char ley Hoyt’s, at the mouth of the New [Basin. Already the news of this won [derful phenomenon had spread i [throughout the city, and there was a I [large number of hacks and carriage* I down there heavily laden with euri :ous spectators looking out upon this [new Sahara.—A". (). Bulletin, April Is/. Note.—Tho Bulletin is imitating the example of (lie New York Herald and trying to have a little fun out of us| all. The attempted hoax will not, meet with the success which attended the Hi ralil'ii wild animal scare. ItjMiiiarrk la Parliament. Tho Imperial Parliament of tin last three years has been noted for! the increasing number of tho Catholic clergy, from bishop to priest, sent thither in the interests of the Ultra montanes to light Prince Bismarck : [ they form now the great core of the ; Opposition ns the Party of the Outer. Bismarck has, of course, been n i prime factor in all the Parliaments; lie began his career in that of Frank fort as a rank Conservative. Incests-! ant work is his daily bread, and lie ! labors as earnestly in the legislative j hails as in his Cabinet. Before he j enters, his special table near the i President is covered by bis messen gers with portfolios and bundles of j papers. He bows to the officer in the chair, then to his colleagues of the: Ministry, with whom he shakes hands or exchanges a lew words. Being seated, lie raises his little pearl opera glass to his eyes and scans the house ; perhaps roougtiteing a special friend (.whom lie greets, in the distance, or going u> one for a few moments’: talk. Returning to hisdesk, lu-tak out a little key which opens the port folios wliieh could tell volumes if they could only speak, in a moment he is reading the dispatches and re ports of his secretaries and counsel ors; then he corrects their drafts,! writes letters, or gives the out lines to ; notes. During this work he sits per fectly cool and collected, and writes with the hand and the precision of a I writing-master, for everything with him is done with exactness and y,ire. He writes with a goose-quiil, with a] broad plume like a flag, and il moves over the paper rapidly and quietly. He writes so boh 1 and clear a hand , that on one occasion a deputy to the j Parliament, announced the comple tion ofa certain work by the declara tion : “Gentlemen, I have the Cus toms Treaty in my hand, signed with the bold signature of the Chancellor of the Confederation." Bismarck reads and writes and thinks with such intensity that one would suppose him unconscious of what is going on around him ; but not so. Bet him hear a prominent member announced to speak, or Vierehanee his own name spoken, and instantly be stops his work and leans hack, all attention, until the matter is sett led, arid he has caught every word. During this he is likely to lie disturbed every few min utes by his aristocratic-looking mes senger, who brings him a portfolio with important documents, or whis pers in his ear some message from a foreign diplomatist, in return for which ho tills a folio with dispatches, or whispers a few words and dismisses his servant. All this is performed without the least sign of haste or effort; his work is so systematized, t hat, though his time is precious, he i seems to have enough for all his pur ! {loses. And still Bismarck needs and has a confidential ministerial aid in tiiis severe work ; his right-hand man for years lias been the most accurate and systematic personage in political life ii Prussia, Herr Delbruek, who is the Keeper of tile Ministerial Portfolio.
