Then yawning again and YEARLY
stretching her graceful limbs, the Egyp-
tian princess glided to her own private
chamber, to forget in the fumes of has
chish-and the death-like slumber it
would summon-the agitations of the last
few hours to forget the tragic fate of the
youth she had first tempted and seduced,
made plaything of, and finally hunted
80 his doom.
Let us drop veil over the waking and

D-Newfoundland is
the port on the American land that
stretches out farthest toward the shores
of Europe; the distance between St.
Johns, the capital, and Valencia: in Ire-
land, is but little over / 800 miles, or
four and half days steaming. Were
there railroad across the island, from
St. Johns to St. Georges Bay, and a
steam ferry thence to the Bay of Chaleur,
Railway is to be constructed, passengers
and mails would reach that point in FIVE
and half days from Valencia, and be
in New York in sixteen or twenty hours
more thus securing the shortest sea
route, and avoiding the fogs, rocks and
storms of the American coast, on which
all the perils of an Atlantic voyage are
to be encountered. In regard to size,
Newfoundland lolds a respectable posi-
ton, having an area of $4,000 square
miles, and being 400 miles in length
and $50 in breadth-or not far short of
the area of England proper. The wealth
of the country is derived mainly from
its inexhaustible sea- harvest, to which
there is nothing elsewhere to be compar-
ed About 10000 Newfoundland fish
ermen sweep the the seas around the
island catching goldfish and seals IN enor-
nous quantities, as we'll as salmon, her.
