HAIL MOON, &c.—How lightly thou turnest, sus-
tained by the impalpable ether. It becomes polished
around thee, and the movemement of thy agitation dis-
tributes the winds and the fruitful dews. As thou
waxest and wanest, the eyes of cats and panthers
lengthen or shorten. Wives howl thy name in
the anguish of child-bearing. Thou swellest the
shells I Thou makest wines to bubble I Thou makest
corpses to putrefy! Thou formest pearls at the bottom of
the sea I . . . But a terrible mistress art thou! By
thee are produced monsters, frightful phantoms, lying
dreams; thine eyes devour the stones of buildings, and
monkeys sicken each time that thou renewest thy youth.—
Salaninsbo. By Gustave Flaubert (evidently a lunatic).

PALAIS DES ARCHIVES.—The works for reno-
vating and enlarging this building continue with-
out intermission. They consist in erecting a new gallery
(on the side towards the Rue des Quatre-Fils, and in pre-
-paring the rooms for the Sigillographic and Paleographic
Museum, which will be opened during the present year.
The entrance will be in the grand pavilion of the old Hotel
de Soubise, in the vestibule of which there was formerly a
magnificent staircase with a curiously-wrought iron balus-
trade, and a ceiling painted in frisaille by Brunette. This
stairoase has been replaced by one in the style of the Re-
naissance, which many persons will perhaps think inferior
to the old one. At the top of this staircase is the entrance
'to the Tresor des Chartes, formerly the guard-room, a noble
hall 24 metres long by 10 wide ; it is fitted up with cases
along the walls, and round it runs a gallery supported by
light wooden pillars. At the end of this spacious apartment
is placed an iron press containing part of the collections.
'This press was made by order of the Constituent Assem-
bly (1710) to contain the apparatus for making the
„signats. It is let into the wall, closed by double
doors, and formerly had secret locks, which have been sup-
pressed. Among the objects it now holds are Merovingian
-diplomas, antographs of Charles V., Queen Elizabeth,
Charles V. of Germany, &e. ; a letter from Soliman 11, to
Francis I. (1528). This letter, written in gold a-d blue cha-
racters, on thick vellum, is enclosed in a brocade bag. Then
there is the roll of St. Vital, a very curious document. In
the middle ages, when an abbot died, the event was an-
nounced to all the different monastic houses in the kingdom
by a messenger carrying a long sheet of white parchment,
rolled, as was then the custom, un a stick. On this parch-
ment, the album of those days, all those to whom it was
sent used to write a few words of condolence. The Roll of
St. Vital, here preserved, contains, under date of the con-
vent of Argenteuil, some Latin verses which are supposed
to have been written by Heloise, then abbess of that convent.
-Lastly, in one of the compartments of this press are the
:keys of the Bastille, thosejof several conquered cities, and
a multitude of very curious articles which are to be placed
in glass cases in the new museum.

Note-
worthy and bearing on this is the fact
is to be the blackest, both in 1860 and latea year,eea
land-
locked, or nearly so, supposing it to be while the
brighter portions of the so-called seas are nearly'
farthest from the sheltering influences of the alwaysland .
As seen inverted by the telescope, there is a sea very like
the Baltic in shape; but the most remarkable feature, per-
haps, is a long sinuous arm of the sea, extending far in-
land, sometimes resemtling a vast " pothook" laid on its
back from east to west , as if a channel as wide as that
between Liverpool and Dublin existed in Equatorial Africa,
and ran inland for a thousand miles or so. The blue colour
of the darker portions has on many occasions been strik-
ingly apparent, the red tinge having been more rarely
i noticed. From these observations it would appear that, if
life exist in Mars, it exists at all events under some of the
I conditions with which we are acquainted,—al 40940,6

'The jetty of the port of Saint-Valery-en-Caux
(Seine-Inferieure) has just been destroyed by the
sea. The damage done is estimated at 300,000 f. A part of
the jetty on the western side of Treport was also carried
away during the same gale. The beach in the neighbour-
hood of that town presents a most melancholy aspect. The
road which ran along the coast no longer exists; the balus-
trade has been swept away in several places, and the whole
is covered with pebbles and sand washed up by the sea.
