derived several of the materials of his Ar

The narrative, however, is preceded by a
shorter poem, called The Coming Of Ar

the great warrior king is described.
The poem on The Holy Grail is pitch

nation is more feryid, the language more

been thoroughly penetrated by his subject.

Forbes Parker, Paymaster OF the
Navy, will soon be brought to trial be-
fore court-martial in session at Wash
ington, on the charge of emhezzling Gov
ernment funds to the amount Of S4I 900.
For several years Paymaster Parker
has carried upon his returns TO the
Department about $4,000 as cash in
hand and during that time making
reouisitions for additional funds, so that
a less sum never appeared on his bal
ance sheet. He was repeatedly'written
to by the accounting officers on the
subject, but refrained from making any
explanation. At last the Department,
while he was on duty at a foreign sta
ton, directed him to turn over to the
Fleet Paymaster the funds in his hands
and return home. He, with some de-
Law obeved, but, as no directions to
disregard his future requisltlons had
been given to the Fleet Paymaster,
Parker at once made a requisition for
the same amount, which was paid, and
he returned home, occupying about
seven months in the trip. Failing to
return the money after his arrival IN
this country, he was arrested. Charges
and specifications have been prepared
and his trial will soon begin.

WASHINGTON, December l2.-lt now
seems doubtful whetherGencral Schenck
will be prepared to assume thedupeSof
Minister to England, which position has
been rendered to and accepted by him.
before the close Of the present Con
gress, Some prominent gentlemen who
are in positions to be best informed, say
that he will not leave his duties in the
House until the important business of
the Ways and Means committee are
disposed of, and that in any event, he
cannot arrange mis- private affairs so as
to leave them without injury, before
two months. Since the fact has became
known, his appointment is spoken OF
here among the Senators and Members
with the utmost favor, and all unite in
pronouncing it the strongest yet made hv
the present administration.
The Forty-second Congress.
A Tribune special says it is considered
certain that the Forty-second Congress
will meet and organize on the 4th of
March next. A careful canvass has
been made by persons interested in the
organization. None of the reelected
members favor adjournment without
electiug officers. The Speakers sigma,
ture is required to the pay warrants and
members are thus enabled to get tirelr
pay frommonth to month during the
recess. There are now 2l3 Representa-
tives elected, of which l07 are members
Of the present Congress, while 100 are
new men, though some few are well
known either from having served in
previous Congresses or holding other
positions. Elections are yet to be he'd
in % districts, in which it is believed
the division between sitting and new
mem bers will remain about as above
given.
