Domcstic Notes.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-1he secretary Of the
navy has addressed a letter TO the senate COM
mittee on naval affairs asking for the passage of
a special act authorizing the enlistment of 300
men for service at the naval academy, 10 consti-
rute permanent crew for manning the practice
ship. IF, he saws, .'the crew OF the practice
ship could be OF picked men, a permanent ship
would always be IN order, and midshipmen
would fail in at once with well arranged system
Of vessel in discipline, and these advantages,
with tlaJ OF being freed from the immoral H.
duenc, OF bad associates can scarcely be over
stimItsd.'
Information has been received at the treasury
department 10 the effect that two hundred
pounds OF smoking opium have Ueen seized On
board the Pacific mail steamship Japan, At san
Francisco, which vessel plies between that port
and Hong Kong, China, and ten pounds on
board steamer Of the same Company plying
between San Francisco and Panama for attempt
to violate the customs revenue laws. The opium
IN the Japan was found concealed in a fresh
water tank in the engineers department. Capt.
Eldridgc, the agent Of the line Immediately dis
charged the engineers from the Japan and one
from the Panama steamer. The duties on the
opium are Sc per pound. The department having
reason to believe that certain officers on these
steamers have been smuggling opium, silks,
&C., by sending the articles ashore by women OF
doubtful reputation, who came aboard to visit
them while the vessel was discharging her
cargo, has taken proper measures to prevent any
further violation of the law in this manner.

rision of a boastful fellow that he has chateau
en- ESpG9ne, is because there are no chateaus in
Espagne. The country was in the hands of the
Moors when the Normans were consolidating
their influence over the rest of Europe. The
date when this influence began in each district,
whether by invasion or otherwise, comedies
curiously with that of the style of castle-build-
ing. England's oldest castles are the round
arched Norman of the Conqueror's period.
Those of Scotland, Ireland and Wales go back
no further than Edward Bidck,c00d.

THE LAWYER AND HIS CLIENTs.-A pam
phlet with this title has been issued from the
office of the Springfield Republican. It contains
a correspondence OF MFR. Samuel Bowles with
David Dudley Field and his son, Dudley Field
OF the New York bar, on the subject of Nj.
Fields professional connection with Fisk and
the Erie railroad ring aud the ethics of the legal
profession as involved in the relations of a
lawyer TO a client who has bad character or
bad cause. The correspondence was provoked
by passage in letter from New York to the
Republican, in which it was said that Mr.. Fields
connection with Fisk and Gould, secured him
the favor of Barnard and other the ring judges,
though it had destroyed his reputation as a high
toned lawyer with the public.
Mr.. Field of course defends his association
with these clients, and incidentally denies the
right of the press to express opinions of his
conduct, and regrets the ineficicncy of the law
Of libel in this country. Mr.. Bowles insists that
Mr.. Fields professional association with his dis
reputable clients and their causes has tended TO
degrade himself and his profession, and has been
generally condemned by the public. The i'm
preston that the correspondence leaves upon
our mind is, that, while Mr.. Bowles is right in
his position, he fails to maintain it effectively,
and lets Mr.. Field have the best of the argu-
ment. 1t cannot be successfully maintained that
a lawyer is responsible for the character of his
client, or even the character of his cases, but he
is responsible for the means by which he con-
trives to gain his cases, and for the counte-
nance which he knowingly affords to nefarious
schemes, which are boldly prosecuted only be-
cause their authors know they can rely upon his
subtlety and skill to defend them against all
comers

elers in abundance, sentimental, statistical, de-
scr;ptive, serious and amusing, have given their
impressions of travel and residence in France
This book has an interest more than the CLEAN

promise, in that it is The production of a thought
full and graceful writer, who sees more deeply
beneath the service than ordinary travellers, and,
besides, the France that she saw in 1s67 can never
be seen again. Future travellers will tell us of
new France with different state of society,
different manners and different political institu-

THAT PETRIFIED FoREsT.-The petrihed
forest discovered last June, near Caistoga,
California, and which has attracted great atten-
ton in that state, is not as wonderful curios-
ity as has been asserted. The Alta California
says that the nome adopted by common usage
conveys an erroneous impression, as there is no
forest nor any petrified tree in an upright posi-
ton. Parts of about twenty trees are lying
down, scattered over a surface about three hun
dred yards square. Neither perified branches
nor leaves have been discovered, and the petri-
fed trunks vary in diameter from one foot TO
five feet, the greater number being over two feet
in diameter The largest trunk is fifteen feet
long and five feet in diameter. The petrilacton,
however, is complete all the woody fibre
having disappeared and having been replaced
with gray ish crystalization, mainly composed
of carbonate of lime. The grain of the wood is
distinctly preserved in appearance, and knot
holes and fractures are found in the stone, being
occasionally lined with transparent crystals of
carbonate of lime. Every stone trunk is broken
across transyersey, the fracture being more
smooth than if it had taken place when the tree
had been in a vegetable state, but not SO smooth
as if the trunk had been sawed. The first no.
tices of these petritied trunks stated that live
lizards had been discovered entirely surrounded
by the crystalized carbonate of lime; it is now,
however, commended, with great probability, that
these little lizards had crawled into the crevices
of the petrfed trees for the purpose of obtaining
shelter, and that, too, only few months ago.

BEYOND THE RARBOR BAR.
BY MIGNONETTE.

The soft midsummer night came down
Upon the waters, star by star,
And in mid heaven Of sky and wave
We foated DER the harbor bar.
Day, leaning from the mountained West,
With roses touched his lips and cheek,
And flashed her Venus in his eyes ...
Whose speech he had no need to speak
The mingled noises of the beach
Like faintest music died affair;
Alone, into the volceless night,
We passed beyond the harbor bar.
Days roses fallen, in his face
Nights love-pale lilies CLEANED, instead
The stars grew brighter in his eyes,
And-'My own love !" was all they said.
They spoke; for softer than the air
The words came trembling to my ear,
With Joy as keen as pain felt
How near he was, and, ah, how dear!
held his head upon my breast,
His strong warm arms encircled me,
The starry skies bent down and blessed,
The great sea rocked us tenderly.
The world afar--dear heaven so near!
All my poor life that hour enfolds;
For ''mine" and ''thine' were words we kisse(
Deep, deep into each others souls.

THE GOLDEN HAIR.
By ANNIE L, RUTH.

Last night drew from off my sleeve
a little golden hair;
A week ago, the sunny head
That bore it, nestled there
And soft blue eyes were raised to mine
And lips of coral hue,
With dimpling smiles and loving words
Mine answering kisses drew
A week ago one little week
Those shining locks lie hid
Forever from mine earthly gaze
Beneath the coffin lid.
Those lips are pale and silent now,
The waxen lids droOp DER
Those dear blue eyes, whose tender light
Shall meet mine own no more
O, many pang my heart must know
Ere it can brook thee dead
And YEARLY my feet will go
Uneehoed by thy tread
My hops, my Joy, the sunny CLEAN
That made lite bright and fair,
All-ali are gone, and naught is left
But just this golden hair !
Save this, so frail and slight thing
And yet though Joy be done,
Thou hast not left me comfortless,
Mine own dear little one
This slender thread, by Gods dear grace,
A mighty chain shall be
To draw me upward, step by step,
My darling, after thee
And as on mountain SUBMITS walk
The traveller and his guide,
Linked by cord. lest each from each
The suTgipg VaporS hide,
SO thou, . loved one, "gOne before, y
My guide and guard shall be,
And still this little golden hair
The Ink tWixt thee and me

SABBATH IN TIE COUNTRY
BY MRS. E. j. BUGBEE.

Yhe birds are full of gushing song,
That will not be repre- ssed.
And over all the world there seems
A hush Of tenderness.
The waves creep softly to the shore,
In murmurs low and deep;
And peacefully upon the tide,
The white sails lie asleep.
The azure curtain of the sky,
In airy light Unturled,
Seems Just TO hide from us the view
or spiritual worlds.
Sweet echoes of the church bells die
Away upon the air,
And y0nder go the quiet throng,
Toward the house of prayer.
No sight to mar the peaceful scene,
No inharmOniOus sound,
But beauty, melody and peace,
Unfolding US around.
We feel the great All Fathers love,
So gently broOding DER,
That we could wish the worlds unrest
Might never reach US more.
But ali the morrow's dawn will wake
The battle call of life,
And shall we wear the Sabbath spell,
AS armor in the strife?
Or shall we lightly cast aside
The robe it folded DER,
And don again the world stained one,
Which yesterday we wore?
A Sabbath for the soul we need,
That will not pass away,
When with its hallOwed hours departs
lie cOnsecrated day.

HE'S CHANGED.
BY CLAIRE MAsTERSON.

In peaceful summer weather,
The blissful long ago,
We rOamed through purple heather,
And felt the west wind blow.
You praised my eyes and brow. love,
Admired my cleaning hair; r.g
They have not changed, but now, love,
They surely seem less fair.
For yestermorn and eventide es
roamed the heather through,
And saw the girl to be thy bride
Look lovingly on you.
All, JEANNE! JEANNE dear, take care J;
The man you're trusting now
once praised another's eyes and hair,
Once kissed another's brow;
once kissed another brow, dear
Perchance half a score
Oh, I'm contented now, dear,
To think he's kissed one more. f
For love, with such changeful will,
Was scarcely worth the taking:
MY foolish heart, at last grown still.
Now wonders at it's aching.
But one pure pray'r to heav'n ascending.
A blessing asks for you, JEAN
That you may find the love contendipg
Now grown forever true, JEAN. a
