ARCADIA.

Bayard Taylor has visited Arcadia,
the ancient Greek paradise, the land
of poetry, music, pastoral blessedness,
sporting nymphs and spouting four
tains. Here is picture of it:
On approaching Tripoliza, we came
upon the grand central plain of Area
dia, which is between two and three
thousand feet above the level of the
sea. Here the season was nearly a
month later than on the plain of Argus,
and the country had gray, wintry
look. There is not sufficient drainage
for this plain, and hence parts of it are
marsly and miasmatic. One to whom
poetry has made the name of Arcadia
"a golden sound, the key to landscapes
of ideal loveliness, skys of perpetual
spring, and pure and happy race of
men, will be bitterly disappointed
as he descends from the gusty Parthe-
MAN Hills. In this black region, sur
rounded by cold, naked mountains,
with it's rough, barbaric Slovenian pop
ulation, and its filthy den of capital,
he will not recognize one feature of
the Arcadia of his dreams. Bnt so il
is +; the bella eli DELI orc" of Tasso and
Hcsiod never existed and never can
exist, and Arcadia, which is for us the
musical name of beautiful impossi-
bility, signifies no more to the modern
Greek than Swampscot or Sheboygan.
Descending to the floor Of the valley,
we rode over the cozy turf to Sinanu,
"a scattering town, with broad, grassy
streets We met many shepherds in
shaggy sheep-skin capotes and with
long crooks in their hands. The pco-
pie came in body to the dirty little
cafe where we halted, in order to stare
at us. Three or four spruce youno,
palikars offered to accompany MS to
the theatre of Megalopolis, which is
about half mile to the north Of the
town. AS Francois had told them
that ] spoke both ancient and moderl
Greek, they piled me with question
the whole way, and was sorely trout
led to keep up my reputation for scho
arship. These people were almost Ell
tire'y of Slavonic blood, which is, n
doubt, the prodominating element il
Greece. Groups of villagers sat il
the sun-happy Arcadians land skill

A GRAVE WITHOUT A MONUMENT

The noblest of cemeteries is the
ocean. Its poetry is, and in human
language ever will be, unwritten. Its
elements of sublimity are subjects of
feeling, not description. Its records,
like the reflection mirrored on it's wave
less bosom, cannot be transferred to
paper. Its vastness, its eternal heav-
ings, its majestic music, in o storm,
and its perils, are things which had
endeavored thousand times to con
ceive but until / was on its mighty
| bosom, looking out upon its moving
mountain waves, feeling that eternity
was distant from me the thickness of
single plank, / had tried in vain to
feel and know the glories and grandeur
of the sea. | there first felt what
John of Patmos meant when he said
of heaven, "There shall be no more
sea-" But there is one element of
moral sublimity which impressed my
mind, and which l should be pleased
if | could transfer, in all it vividness,
to the minds of your readers. The
sea is the largest of cemeteries, and
all its slumberers sleep without a
monument. All other gravcyards, in
all lands, show some symbols of dis
tinction between the great and the
small, the rich and poor but in that
ocean cemetery the king and the
clown, the prince and the peasant, are
alike undistinguished. The same wave
rolls over all-the same requiem, by
the minstrelsy of ocean, is sung to
their honor. Over their remains the
same storms beat and the same sun
shines and there, unmarked, the
weak and the powerful, the plumed
and the unhonored, will sleep on, III.
til, awakened by the same trump the
sea will give up its dead. l thought
of sailing over the slumbering but de-
voted Goodman, who, after his brief
but brilliant career, persisted in the
President-over the laughter-loving
Power, who went down in the same
ill-fated vessel we may have passed.
In that cemetery sleeps the accom-
plished and pious Fisher but where
he and thousands of others of the no
bic spirits Of earth lie, no one but
God knoweth. No marble rises to
point out where their ashes are gath
cred, or where the lover of the good
and wise can go and shed the tear of
sympathy. Who can tell where lie
the tens of thousands of Afric's sons
who persisted in the middle pas
sage ?" Yet that cemetery hath or
naments of which no other can boast.
On no other are the heavenly orbs re-
fiected in such splcndor. Over no
other is heard such noble melody. In
no other arc SO many inimitable traces
of the power of Jehovah. Never can
| forget my days and nights as
passed over the noblest of cemeteries,

LOFTS NAPOLEON

The Paris correspondent OF the Bos'
ton Daily Traveller writes as follows
relative to the immense military camp
recently formed at Chalons, by the
Emperor Louis Napoleon:
In my opinion, Louis Napoleon is
now engaged in building a scheme by
which he hopes to secure his throne
against accidents-even so great a
causualty as his assassination. The
plan he has adopted is, like everything
he does, marked by great reach OF
foresight, and a good deal of astute.
ness. l dare say you have seen, by
the papers, that great camp has
been formed at Chalons. 1t occupies
a space which covers about thirty
thousand acres. There will be some
sixty or one hundred thousand men O!
the best regiments in the army. The
camp will be an entrcnched camp
that is, it will be a fort--a stronghold
Of thirty thousand acres. Marshal
Canrobert, that devoted personal adj
herent of the Emperor, will command
it. The project of the department is
to be picked man, of approved fidcl-
ity. The troops are to be constantly
employed in strengthening the camp
and all its approaches, so as to render
it, as far as possible, impregnable. 1t
is well provided with water. The
camp kitchens cover nearly four miles
in length. The imperial quarters form
a village alone, so numerous are the
kitchens, stables, coach-houses, and
other Offices. About eighty or hum
dred wagons have been daily employ
ed in carrying objects from the Garde
lieHJie de Ia Couroane to furnish the
Emperor's quarters. Never has Garde
Meubte seen so many objects taken at
one time out of its stores.
1t appears to me that Louis Napolc-
on designs this camp as place of
safety for the Empress and imperial
prince, if instruction should occur
which menaces to assume the form of
revolution. 1t will serve as a mill
tary reservoir with which he may del
ugc Paris with soldiers, or as a mill
tary stronghold where he may wait
till he conquers an adverse tide of for
tune. 1t is incredible what precau-
tons are taken against an insurrec-
ton. Only this week the whole cxte-
rior of the Hotel de Vile has been
tunnellcd so that now horsemcn,
mounted, may pass under ground from
any part of the Hotel dc Vile to the
new barracks of Napoleon. The broad
Boulevard leading from Vinccnncs
(Which is the great arsenal, to the
Hotel dc Vile and the Tulcries, is rap
idly being completed The Army is
courtcd every way, and meritorious
officers are sought ont and rewarded
| do not, however, believe that all
these resources and expedients will be
found to avail, if the only serious dan
ger which threatens the throne, the
death Of Louis Napoleon, should ensue;
then the imperial fabric would fall as
it rose--in single night What
mighty destinies hang upon the life of
this man.
