The Naval Station for Russia.

The st. Petersburg correspondent of
the London Standard says Seeing that
as long as her ships remain shut up in
the Black sea and the Baltic, Russia
cannot become first rate naval power,
the necessity arises for finding some
port where their movements are less
likely to be impeded by the ice or a
hostile force, and the Moscow Gazette
has cast his eyes on the Veranger Fiord,
which formerly belonged to Russia, but
which is now part of Norway. This
gulf contains three excellent harbors,
capable of sheltering large fleet; and
as the coast is washed by the Gulf
stream, the ports are never frozen, and
vessels can sail from them for the open
sea at any season Of the year. The
coast can, moreover, be so strongly for
tilted as to render the entrance to the
Gulf extremely difficult, if not impossi-
ble, In exchange for this coveted ac-
QUESTION, the Moscow Gazette offers the
Spitzbcrgen Archipelago, all of which it
seems to have very high opinion. But
even if the island belongs to Russia,
which is very doubtful, the exchange OF
the Veranger Fiord for this barren
group, that has been successfully aban-
doned by all who have ever attempted
to settle there, would be bad bargain
for Sweden

Love.Making in South Italy.

Love.making by signs is very general.
The method has many recommends
tions for as the lovers are not seen to-
gether, and don't write, they are not
easily found out. Every window opens
to the floor, and has balcony, so that
neighbors have great facilities for the
pastime. The language of love is very
simple; it is always the same, and al
ways interesting and new. The gentle
man begins by taking out his handker-
chief, which he passes over his face,
looking all the time at the lady, and
throwing into his face and eyes express
sions of admiration for her; at the same
time he compliments her on her beauty
by passing his hand over his mouth and
chin. The lady's answer is blush,
hiding her face, except the eyes, be-
hind her fan, and pointing to the rear,
TO indicate that mamma is coming, and
retreats. Next time, the same play on
the gentleman's side, followed by possi-
bly, glance, not of Encouragement,
from the lady; whereupon he hugs his
left side. to express that he loves her to
distraction and the lady fees, to re-
turn the next day, and observe the
gentleman, OF course, to her great as
tonishment and displeasure, repeat the
previous gestures, ending by showing
her the palms of his hands, and looking
entreaty, which any young lady even
unacquainted with the particular Ian
guage in question would understand to
mean: | VOW, etc, that love you more
than-etc. Do you love me? The an
swer to which, of course, depends upon
circumstances and thus the ancient
comedy proceeds. Il is understood to
be extremely interesting to the dran,atis
persoqe. Love-making, short of the
ask papa" part, is frequently carried
on in South Italy in this way and it
not seldom happens that when papa is
inexorable, or the lady in a convent,
the whole affair, including agreement
and preparations TO run away, is trans
acted solely by gestures propoS of
which it is on record that on an occasion
of the sort, all being prepared, and the
gentleman in the street waiting at the
lady's door with the carriage intended
to carry off the happy couple, an aw-
fully gruff voice was heard asking,
"Are you there?" The lover looked
toward the voice, saw that it came from
the object of his balcony affections. and,
utterly disenchanted, fed.

Fish i'm the West India Seas.

In his Christmas in the West In
dies" Charles Kingsley speaks in tone
of great amusement of the A" "foureyed
fish" which have their eyes divided
into an upper and lower, using one half
to see through the air and the other
half for the water. Numerous as are
Kingsley was disappointed at only twice
catching a glimpse of black fin.
Scotch friend with whom he was staying
came home, indeed, one evening with
weird tale of having had to cross the
mouth of a river at the very point
where he had seen shark that morn
ing. We can understand that, as this
man walked helpless through the surf,
expecting every moment to be accosted
by a set of teeth from which he would
hardly have escaped with life he felt
colder down his back than at any other
time in his life. Somewhat similar to
this is the adventure of young girl
who was bathing with three of her Sis
ters in a lagoon. She felt herself seized
from behind. and thought one of the
others was playing a trick on her; but
when she looked up and saw that
nef tnfee sisters were Oh tlle Ddilh, SHc
had only time to scream for assistance,
for she was in the grip of an anaconda.
Luckily, the beast had hold of her bath
ing dress only, which was of thin col

and pulled with all their might the
bathing dress gave way, and the ana
conda sid back again. with it in his
mouth, into the dak labyrinth of the
mangrove roots.

An Extraordinary Scene.

The Geneva Courier says that an Sat
urday evening, July lst, the passengers
on the New York Central train wit.
messed beautiful and rare phenomenon
in nature. which was first observed near
Victor Station, and continued as far as
Phileps, distance of twenty-five miles.
The first thought on looking out of the
car was that we were riding on the shore
of a lake; indeed one gentleman not
well acquainted with the geography of
this section, taought such was the fact.
The appearance of what seemed to be
the lake, was sheet of perfectly
smooth water, of brilliant orange near
the shore, gradually softening into the
most delicate golden tint, as it neared
what appeared to be the horizon. This
apparent horizontal line was distinctly
marked by line of magnificent purple
clouds whose tops were constantly NOV
ing, sometimes assuming the forms of
lofty mountains whose shifting side
seemed to be covered with masses of
dark foliage, moved by gentle breeze.
The sight was beautiful and weird be-
yond description. 1t is supposed to be
an unequal refraction Of the rays Of
light on Lake Ontario, which lies some
twenty miles north.

An Important Move by the French AS.
sembly.

Paris special of the 4th Of August
gives the following particulars about the
caucus of the Left Center of the Ma
tional Assembly, which voted on the Sd
for the prolongation of Thiers' powers
as President Of the Republic "The
deputies OF the Left Center, nominally
all moderate Republicans, were con-
vened by a circular which bore the sig
nature of Gambetta and others, for the
purpose of shaping the policy for the
party, and to take some definite action
concerning the proposed extension OF
Thiers' term of office. The meeting
was very harmonious. All the mem
bers spoke in praise of Thiers' admins
tration, and recommended him as the
only man who is now capable to keep
the balance between all parties. The
meeting decided TO support Thiers in
his policy of moderation and to discour
age maneuvers of the Legitimists and
Bonapartists. One deputy submitted a
motion requesting the Government to
abstain from all interference in the
Roman question, and il was accepted.
The caucus then voted, by ma ority of
one hundred and ninety against five, to
advocate in the Assembly the prolonga-
ton of Thiers' powers for three years,
with proviso that Theirs should bear
the title of President of the French Re-
public, instead of Chief Executive, as
heretofore. The meeting resolved by
the same vote to create the office OF
Vice President. The Vice President is
to be at the same time President of the
Council. 1t was further decided to ex-
press confidence in Theirs by giving him
power to choose the Vice President, but
Theirs alone is to be responsible for the
| Government"

The PRUssIAN OCCUPATloN.-A Herald
correspondent writes from Rouen say IS /:
"The Prussian occupation of France is
every day rendering the situation more
unpleasant. Strife and bloodshed be-.
tween small members of German and
French people are frequent, and the
murders of Prussian private soldiers,
which have taken place, render the
Prussian soldiers more harsh and embit-
tered in feeling. The French govern
ment are said to have sent word of this
to Bismark and Won Moltke, and dwelt
upon the possibility of restraining the
population from being unduly oppressed
or tyranically treated. Some Prussian
commanders drank to excess and en-.
couraged the conduct of the men in us
ing firearms on small provocation. The
government also states that if these
troubles are continued, the settlement
OF the war indemnity question will be
difficult. A Prussian officer, in conver-
sation, said that if the French people
shoald be more conciliated, all South.
ern Germany would feel the exasperat-
ing policy, and would threaten danger
to the new empire"
