.WOMAN,S KINGDOM.
NJ ETHEL LYNN.


wor.r,s kin9 |" Who knows where
Ths Va lls Of woman's kingdom arei
How sta uds her throne In purple state,
Gem mmed with the golden bees of Fate;
Where is her crown Of glory won,
Her regal robes for paseauts spun;
When may the wardes dare to sleep
Beside the dung con in the keep;
What Is the tribute vas sails pay
And whom the solemn reclining day;
How are the courtly phrases learned,
And jswolsd Orders hardly sarnedi
Not where rude wassail, loud and deep,
sWakens the warder II no sleep;
Not whore the vassal profrsrs gold,
OrsLove with prisstly rite is sold
Not where the garments golden sheen
Shows Jew eled ribbon broad between;
Not where the courtly phrases taught
In silver accents, count for naught;
Not there her kingdom.
Reaching high
Its walls ris ward to the sky,
For weary souls who crave her aid,
For frightened souls sin sick, AFRAID,
While she beside the postern stands,
To hold up weak and weary hands.
Her throne-the hallowed chamber, where
Her child is taught it's evening prayer;
Her Gowns good mans steadkast love.
Pure gold that FIRE shall only prove;
1Ief wardsrs--o loving prayer
TO guard the feet OF stumbling cares;
Tier rtribute-loving hearts and true
Her orders, Faiths broad ribbo n blue,
Decked with the cross, and starry Hope,
Borne on shining anchor mp.
This, this, 10 woman's kingdom, left
When Paradise was fir, m her reft.

Lee and Grant.
Gen. Robert +. Lee arrived in Wash
ington Friday evening, and proceeded to
the residence of relative in Georgetown.
On Saturday morning, at eleven o'clock,
in accordance with previous arrangement,
he called at the executive mansion, i'll
company with two friends, from Baltimore,
and, on hi nding his card to Gen. Dent, was
Immediately ushered into the presence of
the President. Senator TEayer, Of Ne.
braska, minister Motley, and o;Ler promi-
nent personases, were just about to have
an interview but the President begged
them to retire, as he had agreed beforehand
to have Gen. Lee call en- him at this time
These gentlemen, with others, retired
but some of them remarked that it was not
right to be crowded aside by the greatest
rebel in the country. The interview was
brief, not lasting but twenty minutes, and
was confined to personal matters, ana
word or two about Virginia. Both were
warm, however, in wishing the other health
and success in life, and Gen. Lee added;
81 pray, Mr.. President, that your admins
tration may rebound to the honor and glory
of the country" The pending reeonstruc-
ton of Virginia was alluded to, and Leoin-
tmated that he still adhered to his letter of
last Aug, to Gen. Rosecrans, on this ques-
ton, wherein reconstruction was accepted;
the full restoration Of the state to the
union urged, and the development of the
mineral and agricultural resources Of
Virginia set forth. When Gen. Lee left
the executive mansion, he was followed by
the scrutinizing eyes of all in tie vicinity,
He appeared in excellent health, and look
cd about as he did three years ago, when
he visited Washington. His visit to Bal
timore, in the interest Of the Virginia
Valley railroad, was very satisfactory, and
the amounts needed to complete and per-
feet this road will be raised, beyond doubt.

How TO preserve FIsu.-Itis said that
fish may be kept alive for ten days or more
without water by filling their mouths with
crumbs Of bread stsrated with brandy,
and pouring a little brandy in their stom~
schs, after which, in this torpin state. they
may be packed in straw. They become
alive in few hours when again placed in
fresh water.

To ascend staircase eighteen feet high
requires thirty>six times the force that is
required to walk eighteen feet on level
ground; and would, therefore, be equal to
level walk of three hundred and twenty
four feet. So then, a person shut up in
the house and in need of exercise, can
walk his mile by going up these stairs say
sixteen times.

Financs and Reform.
"A half year has nearly gone by since
the November election. Two months have
passed since Grants inaugural.
One Congress has gone oLt and another
come in.
We read in Mondays telegrams.
"Secretary Boutwell's official figures are
against taking steps toward sinking
fund. They show that from November l,
1867, to November l, 1868, the debt was
increased twenty-five millions and from
November l, 1868, to May /, 1869, it in
creased thirty-seven million five hundred
thousand dollars"
Sixty two millions five hundred thous-
and dollars increase in the public debt in
the last eighteen months! An increase
equal to sum only thirty millions less
than the entire public debt in 1861.
y The public debt is now at such volume
that the government expenses are seven.
teen dollars and fifty cents at every beat
of the clock.
What is to be done? The Lmperialist
new radical organ owned by Borie, Secre'
tary of the Navy, says, "erect an empire
to prevent the people repudiating the
debt"
Grant says the Declaration of Indepen'
dence had an illustrious son.
Ross says, Ego to H-ll." The times
are hard.
Gold has gone up to 1873.
Morton says, absorb the greenbacks
with specie, and fund the bonds SO as te
make them even a more desirable invest
ment than now.
Will it make money easier to bury mil
lions more of it in untaxsd bonds?
We say "absorb the bonds with green
backs and then reduce the volume o.
greenbacks to a specie standard"
That increase of sixty-two millions and
half in the bonded debt, represents JUS
that much cepital drawn out of trade il
the last year and half. That is LITTLE
more than one tenth of the business capi
xal OF the country. Let any business mar

The Sultan is an INDECENT man, of lynn
phatic temperament; he has not had much
education, and understands no European
language but French, of which he can
speak a few words. His favorite occu>
patton is to look after his poultry yard,
which contains the rarest specimens of
hens, ducks, geese, swans, &c. He gives
enormous prices for rare birds, and passes
hours in feeding his hens and watching his
cocks fight.
The Power which exercises the greatest
influence is Russia. In outward appear
ance the Russian embassy is easily dis
tinguished from all the others. It
occupies a magnificent palace, which,
being built on the heights of Pera, COM
mands the whole Of the capital and looks
down upon the residence of the Sultan,
the Golden Hern, and the distant roofs of
Stambeul, as if its wide portals only
awaited the entry of the Car. Daring
the winter season the palace is opened to
all the higher society of the town, and in
the brilliantly lighted rooms, balls and
concerts are frequently given. At Con-
stantinople an ambassador is respected
and feared in.proportion to the magnif-
cence Of his surroundings. Though the
interior of harem is still-notwithstand-
ing the spread of European notions among
the Enthusiastically closed to all male
visitors, the society of foreigq ladies is
eagerly sought by the wives of all the
higher funetionaries. Tho, rooms they
occupy, even in the wealthiest houses, are
low and dark, and furnished in very bad
taste, chiefly owing to the mania Of the
Turkish women for tawdry ornaments
from Vienna or Paris. BY the side of the
finest specimens of Oriental art may
frequently be seen vase of common
Bohemian glass, with dusty wax flowers,
which they prize more highly than many
Of the beautiful ornaments of their native
manufacture. The same is the case with
their dress which is a
caricature of the fashions of Paris. They
have discarded the velvet jacket and
trowsers, foc stays, boots, long trains and
immense chignons. II
has also become the fashion to learn music,
and teacher on the piano torte (of course
a LADY, has made fortune by giving
lessons in the harems. Another fashion il
to have your portrait taken. Their favor.
ito artistic is an Englishwoman-a Miss
Curtis. Some time ago this lady was
commissioned to paint full length por-
trait of one of the Sultanas. The Sultana
was short and stout, and Miss Curtis
painted her accordingly. This, however
gave great offence, and the Sultana insist
ed on her being made foot taller, saying
that as she was only nineteen years old
she would be sure to grow to that size
But instead of growing taller, the Sultans
only grew stouter; SO that at the emo of /.
twelve month the portrait was almost un'
recognizable. Miss Curtis was then re
quested to paint the picture third time
and it is now nailed up to the ceiling o
the harem."

-nE Total, @ s,a5s 1917
Thus total distance of 1858 miles is
made, according to the present schedule,
in 6 days, liz hours, actual time, by "a
travellers watch, from which we deduct 81
hours difference Of time, when going
west, leaving the apparent time consumed
in making the trip days aud IA hours.
At San Francisco the mails will connect
with the various steamship lines running
on the Pacific, and may be landed at Hon
olulu in Q days from that city, or l54 days
from New York. They can reach Japan
in 10 days from San Francisco, or 254
days from New York or 33 to "a days
from Great Britain.-thus beating the Bri-
tish mails, sent Uia Suez, 3 to 4 weeks.
The trip between Yokohama, Japan, and
either Hong Kong or Shanghao, is readily
accomplished by the Pacific mail steam-
ships in from to 6 days, which, added to
the time in reaching Japan, will give the
through time necessary to reach either Of
{ the above named ports of China. The
american steamships, belonging to the
China branch Of the Pacific mail steamship
company are uneqnalled in beauty and
elegance, and we firmly believe in stabili-
ty, by any vessels aaoat. AS they excel
all other steamships aAoat-except the
Great Eastern-in size and capacity, so,
also, they excel them in their various ap.
pointments and first class accommodations
for passengers. The mails for Australia,
it is thought, will hereafter 60 ria San

All the care given to the olives is by the
women. The olive requires water, and
water here can only be had by directing it
into reservoirs and thence to the roots Of
the trees. The olive is indigenous to Cor
sica. Birds bear the stones about the isle.
These little olive-planters are almost as
thick as the leaves in which they hide and
carol. When these bird borne seeds grow
up, they are called ''savage olives" Not
many years ago, ths authorities took a
census of the savages. They then nun.
,ered twelve millions. Two years ago
Corsica showed at fair $50 different spe-
cimens of olive oil. Were this land in
