SUMNER TRAVEL TO EURopE,-The number
Of American tourists visiting Europe this season is
unprecedently great. Since the Bird of May there
have left New York and Boston about three thou
sand five hundred first class passengers, in the
different steamers bound for Great Britain and the
Continent. For the next six weeks the bertks on
the Cunard, the Vanderbildt and the Havre lines
are nearly all engaged. The Adriatic, which
leaves Oh Saturday, has already three hundred and
seventy-fye names of first class passengers in
scrbed on her list, and efforts are being made, by
the construction Of new state-rooms, to give ac-
commodaton to more. Taxing the number as it
stands it is the largest of this class of passengers
that has been taken out by any single vessel.
The European continent seemsto be the great
summer attraction to our people Of means Since
a few of our wealthy Self-made families have been
lucky enough to mix their rich blood with the thin
fluid that i'll the veins of the old hereditary
nobility of France and Italy, good many match
making mamas have been regularly in the habit
of taking over their daughters to the great matri-
monal mart, in which dukes, counts and marqui-
ses are as thick as blackberries. The latter,
generally speaking, nothing 10th to be annexed
to the bright eyes and fabulous wealth Of our
American bellies.

TERRIFIC FIGHT WITH SNAKES.

The Marietta (Ohio) Home News, furnishes
the following thrilling account OF fight with three
snakes which recently occurred in that vicinity:
Mr. James Lankford, Of Fearing township, had
a severe fight with three enormous spotted black
snakes, on Monday morning last. He had been
repairing harrow by the side Of very large tree
in of his fields, when strange sensation passed
over him. which paralyzcd him to such an extent
to render him most poweress. Hc felt con-
scious that danger was approaching, yet seemed
unable to save himself He heard a rustling noise
the tree behind him, and was partially aroused
from his stupor by snake six feet and four inches
long and seven inches in circumference striking
him on the back, passing over his shoulder,
around his body and under his arms. A second
snake Immediately coiled itself around his body.
Seeing third approaching and aroused to despara-
ton, he seized an which he fortunately had with
him, and by lucky blow, served it in two six
inches back Of the head. This one was five feet
and eight inches long Mr. Lankford then turned
his efforts to rid himself of his other two foes then
beginning to tighten themselves unpleasantly
around his breast. A severe contest ensued, last
ing fifteen twenty minutes, during which Mr. j..
thrown down several times. The reptiles
kept up a constant Kissing noise, and emitted
fetid, sickenng odor At length, the largest
snake III eDdeavoring to strike at Mr. L. in the
mouth, at which it made repeated efforts, was seiz-
ed by the back of the neck, between Mr. Landlords
teeth and literally crushed The snake instantly
uncoed and threw itself from him to the ground,
hOrs dW combat. The third one did the same and
made good its escape, Mr. l.. being too much
exhausted to make any attempt to pursue it. 1t
was a narrow escape for Mr. j.. who is a farmer,
and whose veracity is unquestioned. We had the
narration from his own lips.

JAPANESE OPINION OF AMERICAN WoMEN.-
1t is said in Washington that their Exeellencies,
the japanese ambassadors, think the American
women very handsome, very curious, and very
bold. They are particularly struck with their,
style of waltzing and dancing the Polka This
last, it is said, quite enraptured the Oricntals.
They think, however, that our women are allowed
too many liberties-not under sufficient restraint.
In Japan it seems, it is different Every gentle
man there keeps them under complete control.

The same paper pays the following deserved
compliment to the Secretary of the Convention:
"A USEFUL LAYMAN.-For hity-tco years
past the Diocesan Convention of North Carolina
has had but one Secretary, Edacord Lee Winslom,
Esq.,, of Fayetteville. Though Bishops, Priests
and Deacons have changed, and have come and
gone, he is ever there true to his post of honor
trust and great labor. He fills the place his father
did before him. and far off be the day when his
place shall be filled by another. He is never from
his seat, always calm, ready in the questions before
the house, and courteous just and obliging to all
No matter how much business may press at home
he always makes time for the service of the Church

ROMANCE OF THE MUMMY.

Follett, Foster & Co.. of this city, ore about to
publish a translation of Theophile Gautier's 'Ro-
nance Of the Mummy by Mrs. Annie I. Wood,
of Marietta.
Mrs. Wood translated the Boston edition Of
Aboats Roman Question: and is we'll known as
a faithful and spirited translator from the French.
If the present work needed any other introduction
than the name of Gautier, the fact that this lady
has rendered it into English would sufficiently
commend it.
The effort of the Imagination which. in the Ro,
nance of the Mummy, conducts the reader back
through thirty.fVe centuries to the days of Pha.
raoh and Moses, and makes him move, and live
among the people of Thebes, when she was in her
glory-is sublime but it is equalled by the au-
thor's historical knowledge Of the period, and of
the Egyptians, whose life, customs, habitations,
joys, sorrows, pleasures, calamities-he describes
with a vividness and verisimilitude, which almost
convince that the story Of Tahoser, and Poeri, and
Rachel, and Pharaoh, was indeed the secret of the
papyrus found in the embrace Of the beautiful
mummy of the Egyptian Queen.
There is only one work of modern literature
which can equal "The Romance of the Mummy
in power of imagination and deep aud curious
learning, That is the "Story of Vathek." Blu.

ANTI-SLAVERY BUGLE.

after all, Bockford's idealization Of the poetry Of
the Thousand and One Tales, does not otherwise
compare with Theophilo Gautier's wonderful Ro-
nance, which breathos the full life of Egyptian
passion into the forms Of individuals aud civiliza-
ton, that utterly persisted more than three centu-
ries ago and Of which the ruins Of Thebes and
the hypogea Of the desert mountains alone remain
to half-dumbly attest tho magnifconco. This
long dead world, Gautier repooples, and while you
read his book, Greece, and Rome, and England,
and America seem fables; and Egypt alone exists,
with her Thebes, her Nile, her lotus-1owers, her
grotesque gods, her magnificent palaces, her vast
temples, her spbinxee and colossi, her symbols,
her o%pulcnt, voluptdous and terrible life full
Of marvel and mystery.
We are glad that this powerful and fascinating
romance is to he given to the American reader in
English worthy of :he original French ; and we
hardly know which most to cougratulate-the
translator or the reader Ohio State Journal.

"A BLUE SKY SoMEwHERE ."-Children are elo-
quent teachers. Many a lesson which has done
our hearts good have we learned from their lis
ping lips. 1t was but the other day another took
root in memory. We were going to a picnic,
and, of course, the little ones were 10 e~cstasies for
several days. Bat the appointed morning broke
with no glad sunshine, no songs of birds, no peals
of mirth. There was every prospect of rain-even
hope hid her face and wept,
'Shan't we go, mOtherH' exclaimed a child Of
six, with passionate emphasis.
IF it clears off
But when will it clear OFF,
%, look out for the blue sky
And SO he did, poor little fellow; but never
a bit of blue sky gladdened his eyes.
Well | don't care, mother, said he, when the
tedious day had a. length numbered all its hours,
if | haven't seen it, l know there is q blue sky
somewhere
The next morning there was a blue sky, a whole
heaven full of it-cleAr, glorious blue sky, such
as only greets us after a weary storm.
There, mother, didn't l tell you SOP cried a joy
Gus voices there is a blue sky! Then the little
head dropped for a moment in silent thought.
'Motherl' exclaimed the child, when he again
looked up, there must have been blue sky all day
yesterday, though l never saw q bit of it, cos you
see there ain't no place where it could have gonC
to-God only covered it up with a cloud, didn'

LADY FRANKLIN.
BY ELIZABETH Il. WHITTIER,

BY zAB Il. WHITTIER.
Fold thy hands--thy work is overl
Cool thy watching eyes with tears;
Let thy poor heart, oVsrwearied,
Rest alike from hopes and fears
Hopes that saw with sleepless vision
One sad picture fading slow,
Fears that followed vague and nameless,
Lifting back the wales of snow.
For thy brave one, for thy lost one,
Truest heart of woman deep!
Owning still the love that granted
Unto thy beloved sleep.
Not for him that hour of terror,
When, the long ice-battle DER,
In the sunless day his comrades
Deathward trod the Polar shore.
Spared the cruel cold and famine,
Spared the fainting hearts despair
What but that could mercy grant himP
What but that has been thy prayer?
Dear to me that last memorial,
From the cairn beside the sea
Evermore the month of roses
Shall be sacred time to thee !
Sad it is the m~ournful yew tree
O'e- his SAUNDERS may not wave
Sad it is the English daisy
May mo-, blossom on his grave.
But his tomb shall storm and winter
Shape and fashion year by year
Pile his mighty mausoleum
Block by block and tier on tier.
Guardian of its cleaning portal
Shall his stainless honor be ;
While thy love, a sweet immortal,
Hovers Ger the winter sea

Let the world say to you
Worst that it can
Answer despite the blame,
Answer despite the shame,
I'll not belle my name
I'll be a man |
Armed only with the right,
Standing alone to fight
Wrong, old as Time,
Holding up hands to God
Over the rack and rod,
Over the crimson sod,
That is sublime.

Putting all fears to flight,
Shouting for Truth and Right,
Who will mount on ?

rescue persons from danger, The following notice
was recently issued to them
The bathing police are requested when a lady
is in danger of drowning, to seize her by the dress
and not by the hair, which oftentimes remains in
sheir grasp. Newfoundland dogs will also govern
themselves accordingly
