The yacht was quite stationary. Down
went the anchor with that delicious sound
which only the weary cruiser knows and
loves. For some minutes there was CON
fusion in the darkness. The young man
went forward TO see all snug, and to take
a look about HIM. So far as he could
make out in the night. they were tn a nice
natural harbor, surrounded on every side
by hills, and sheltered almost entirely from
the wind then blowing.
Five fathom water said Calum, haul
ing in the lead-line and fine soft mud
for the bottom. We couldna be in a snug
ger berth"
The young man who had been plunged
in deep reflection, touched him on the
shoulder.
Come aft with me and speak to the
girl" he said. In all probability she
has saved our lives"
But when they went in search of her she
had disappeared, and the old cobble in
which she had rowed out to their assist
ance had disappeared also. They strain
ed their eyes into the surrounding dark
cess, and listened for the sound of oars
but all was quite still, and they could not
get Il glimpse OF the stranger.

Algerian Excite Plants in France.

Exotic plants, it is stated, have been
introduced in considerable numbers in
the central parts of France by means of
the forage brought there during the
stay of the army. just previous to the
investment of Strasbourg, botanist
examined the fodder furnished to the
French cavalry horses, and discovered
forty -four species of plants belonging
TO the Mediterranean region and Alge
ria. 1t was then suggested that in
vestigations should be made to ascer-
tain whether some of these plants
would not appear IN the soil. The ex-
aminations made in the spring of 1872
showed that the seeds of these plants
had taken root, and, having braved the
cold of an unusually severe winter, are
being widely propagated changing
arid soil into extensive meadows. These
results have been particularly observed
near Blois and Orleans, where one hun
dred and tifty-seven new species of
grasses peculiar to meadows and pas
ture lands had taken root. Some of
the seeds had lain in the ground for
sixteen months without suffering any
alteration in their terminating quail
ties The botanists think that this
casual introduction of foreign fodder
plants should encourage combined eff
fort to cultivate the same grasses under
more favorable circumstances.

Midsummer.
by X. v. EMERSON


Around this lovely valley rise
The purple hills of Paradise,
Oh. softly on Won banks OF haze,
Her ROSY face fair Summer lays.
Becalnled along the azure sky, o
The areosies Of cloudiand I've,
Who's shores with many shining rift,
Far of their pearl-white peaks uplift.
Through all the long midsummer day,
The meadow SIDES are sweet with hay,
/ seek the coolest sheltered seat,
Just where The fed and forest meet
Where grow the pine trees tall aud bland,
The ancient oak austcre and grand,
And frngy roots and pebbles fret
The rippes Of the riyulet.
/ watch the mowers as they go.
hlough the tall grass a white sleeved row ;
With even strokes their scythes they swing,
In tune with merry whetstone's rlr
Behind The nimble youngsters run
And toss the thick swa'hs in the sun
The cattle Craze, while warm aud still,
Slopes the broad pasture, baaks the hill,
And bright, when summer bre yes break,
And green wheat criokles like a lake.
The butterfly and humble bee
Come to the pleasant woods with me-
Quickly before me runs the quail,
Tn chickens skuk behind the rail,
High up the lone wood-pigeon sits,
And the wood pccker pechs and fits
Sweet woodland music sinks and swels,
The brookIct rings its tinkling bells,
The sNarmins insects drone and hum,
The partridge beats his throbbing drum,
tn squirrel leaps among the boughs,
Ans chatters in his leafy house,
The oriole flashes by, and look
iutp the mirror Of the brook,
Where the blue-bird trims his coat,
Two tiny feathers fall and float.
a. silently az tenderly,
Thu dawn Of peace descends on me.
oh this is peace ! have no need
OF friend to talk, or book to read,
A dear Companion here abides;
Close to my thrilling heart He hides
Tho holy silence is his voice
1 lie, and list II, and rejoice.

Henri Drayton.


This brilliant and celebrated artist, who has for
years been delighting the of thousands of the
American public, was yesterday suddenly taken with
1T of apoplexy at his residence, 81 East Ninth
street, and died shortly afterwards. Mr.. Drayton
was born in Philadelphia about fifty years ago, and
was originally intended for o civil engineer,
graduating as such at Troy in 1889. A
natural aptitude for dramatic interpreta-
ton and a fine, sonorous, expressive baritone
voice, allied with strong inclination, induced him
to enter upon the stage as profession, and after
several years OF novtiate's in this country
he went to Europe, where during the year 1s4s, he
appeared at the principal lyric theatres OF France
and Belgium in French opera. In $780, In con-
junction with o French opera company, he
made his first appearance in London at
the st. James Theatre. On his return to
America several years later Mr.. P. T. Bar
mum engaged him and his wife for a parIor
opera entertainment, which was given at 72O Broad
way, now known as Lima Edwin's Theatre Here
he won immediate popularity, and the perform
ances given there became very successful. or late
years he has been connected with nearly every
English pcra company which has been organized in
this country his last engagement In this city having
been played at Bryants Opera House, in June
During the past season he played several engage
ments at the provincial theatres In dramatic char
acters, and, we believe, contemplated making lyric
drama his speciality had he lived
Personally he was genial, courteous gentleman,
OF great social qualities, which endeared him to ali

to their amazement she was left entirely desti-

The Nations Debt to Germany.


The financial and, OF course, the Industrial
vitality OF France may, according to the news con-
veyed in our, Paris telegram be set down as an
economic productive wonder. When tho war Of
1S701 came to end, aud there srosc the question
OF paying large indemnity 20 Germany for
the expenses OF breach OF lhe peace, the
general idea war that France was nearly
bankrupt ON the fall Of the empire, and that
monetary troubles throughout Europe were to be
expected from any attempt to pay the vast sum
demanded by Bismarck. Nevertheless, France has
so managed that before the close OF 1874 the five
milllards OF francs exacted by Prussia win be paid
In full. This Is, in addition to what has already
been paid. One miliiard OF francs 5000 0OO is
to be paid on February Is, 1878; like amount to be
paid before the end OF 1878, and the same amount In
1874. Five milliards, or $1,000, 100000, is not
the whole liability OF France on account OF the
late war. There Is to be added to it. for the
ransom Of Paris $400 900; for the interest due
