A Serenade.

From the folds of your snow-white pillow
My love, my beautiful, rise.
Ana come % the easement window.
where the wind through the cedars signs
Star and planet are leaping
Out through the clOudless blue
Planet and star are weeping,
and wondering where are you.
The moon, like royal maiden,

Aud the breath Of the dainty tulips
From the garden maths IL blown.
Under the dropped narcissus
The bulbul sits and sings,
And the leaves Of the rose are brushing
The dew from the winds light wings
Under the lcaiy easement,
sweet. am waiting still,
Watching the lamp-llt lattice
I'M Thy hand on the window.sil
Rustes the dainty rose-leayes
That lovingly cluster there,

My own, my beautiful Nina,
Come, till my love pour
Come, till tell the passion
My heart can hide no more -
TN | SIT m the rich sweet lustere
or thy dark blue eyes divine,

Oh, rapture the nour draws near

Dou You think we have all gone mad. Sir
In truth, wish you'd leave off:

And your howlIng won't c'~ my cough.
Us really strange, It's mon .rous,
How little of sense remains,
Or even OF common politeness,
When folks get love on their brains"

Surrpnfs

The following particulars have been
received of a Communist revolution at
Carthagena, and the capture of some
OF the finest vessels of the Spanish
Navy:
The insurgents, after gaining con-
troll OF the city, seized Costello de los
Galleros, strong fort on the west side
OF the harbor, less than 1000 yards
from the entrance, which !, commands
completely. This gave them control
OF the two lower batteries on shore and
the mouth of the harbor. They hoist
ed the red flag of the Commune over
these Notifications, and summoned the
squadron lying in the harbor to surren-
der. The crews were in sympathy with
the insurgents, and the vessels fell into
their hands without opposition. The
chief command of the squadron is now
entrusted to Posas, who led the in
surrectlon III the naval arsenal at
Ferrolln, Province OF Corunna, some
months ago. The vessels thus taken

iron clad, "a guns; the Numancia, an
lron-clad, % guns; the Teteur, an
iron-clad, 40 guns the Almanac, a
screw frigate, As guns, and the
steamers Fernando, Ell Catolicio.

A Serious Information,

Never was the solemnity of funeral
more thoroughly disturbed than in a case
which occurred in this city about week
ago. Two corpses arrived here ON the
same day for burial The first enc was
duly taken taken in charge at the depot
and in the course of an hour or so was on
its way to the cemetery, at the head of a
procession of mourners. But before the
gate was reached another hearse WIS seen
approaching at two-forty speed, or as near
that as would be expected of an undertak
ers horse Undertaken No. 2 OF course
soon oyerhauled the procession, and pro.
ceeded coolly to appropriate the corpse,
informing the astoni-hed mourners that
vexatious mistake had been made, and
that they would have to wait until the ar
rival of the next train before they could
witness the burial of their deceased
friend.-Nete Bedford Standard.

A correspondent writing about the
recent earthquake in North Italy, says
the effects of the earthquake at the vii.
lage of st. Piede Folleto we're terrible.
1t was the fete of st. Peter, the patron
saint of the place. The church was
gaily decorated, and was crowded with
worshippers, when without moment s
warning an undulation swept beneath
the village, and down came the roof
and walls of the church, burying its
living contents. Those nearest the
door we're able to escape, but of the
remainder thirty-eight were killed
on the spot, eighteen men and twenty
women and a great number seriously
hurt. The priest officiating had his
arm broken. Two others assisting
escaped. The entire village was a scene
of fallen aud falling houses.

THE DISTRUSTED BANKS.

The Continental Bank RumOrs and How
They Were startcd-A Panic Nipped
in the Bud-The Atlantic Bank-N0
Statement from the Observation-Disclosures
Misunderstanding Rumors that the
DcfAulter Has q Large Sum Put Away
and Is Only Feigning His Great
Losscs-Thc Reputation OF Another
Institution Questioned.
The general feeling In Wall street was one OF
satisfaction at the reported stable condition OF the
Continental Bank. Financial men agree in saying
that had 1t not been for the pr0mptness Of the
aiming committee Of the Clearing Board in
making their report public yesterday morning
there would have been disastrous panic In the
street. AS 1t was the report Of the complete SOL
vency OF the bank treasured every one and every
thing went on during the day in quiet mundane
sort OF way. A HERALD reporter called at the
Continental Bank and saw one OF the officers. He
said that the rumors regarding the bad
condition Of the bank no doubt arose from
the heavy losses the institution had suffered
from time to time from one cause and another
f0rgerles, &c.-and that some persons had I'M
doubtedly taken advantage OF the matter to cir.
culate disparaging reports In the hope OF "bear'
movement as natural sequence. This would
have been successful had not the report OF the
Bank Examiner been so clearly defiant OF alls mis-
Interpretation, though 1t did pat things down at
however, il is understood the Bank Examiner has
sent an account to the Comptroller OF the Currency
not altogether complimentary to the manner in
1t Is understood that its present condition Is SUBJ
stantially as exhibited In the following statement:
$1,100.000 discount OF good mercantile paper
100000 on call loans.
$3.50, 900 legal tenders and gold.
$1,700, 900 net deposits.
The building, owned and occupied by the bank,
stands Oh the books as worth $350OO0 and Its &C
tual value is said to be double that amount.
THE ATLANTIC BANK.
There was nothing new regarding the Atlantic
Bank yesterday The receiver, Mr. Strong, was
busy all day examining securities, and succeeded
In getting through another boz. For the purpose
OF doing this without error ne excluded everybody
from the bank Oices yesterday, and neither depos-
TORS friends, nor curi0s m0ngers were admitted.
The committee from the depositors, probably un-
derstanding they would not be admitted yester-
day, did not call. Mr.. strong says that ne cannot
tell with any degree OF certainty how long It will
be before hfs statement is ready In his report to
the Comptroller OF the Currency yesterday he said
that he found matters worse and worse at every
step he made.
