land, July 2, says: t'On the Sd instant q large
iceberg became stranded at the mouth of the
harbor, and the captain wishing some of the
officers to 60 out with him and see it, I gladly
accepted the invitation, and as soon as our
party was made up we started out in the
steam launch. As We approached the berg
the air grew sensibly colder, and we found It
necessary to slip on our overcoats. We ran
alongside of it and measured it with our eye,
which gave US 35 feet high, 100 feet broad,
and 400 feet long. and as that portion below
the surface bears the proportion of seven to
one. we can calculate the thickness of the
berg to be $50, equal to Il, zoo, 900 cubic feet,
or 286, 225 tons. The berg was melting 80
rapidly that water was flowing from it in every
direction, preventing us from approaching
very close to it. 90 we decided to 20 on to q
smaller one and cut some ice for our own
We were very successful. g
we brought on board in the neighborhood Of
half ton. About five minutes after leaving
the large berg we heard an explosion, and
locking around, saw that one end of the berg
had burst of, and filed an area Of about
three hundred feet in length Of the width OF
the berg, SO we escaped an unpleasant damp
ness Just in time."

Either very imaginative young man has
lied recently in Davenport, Iowa, or another,
almost as badly affected, has furnished the
Gazette, of that place, with the story that
follows: zone of the leading citizens of
North Davenport had an only daughter, who
was betrothed to young man of fair prom
ise, q clerk in a leading commercial house al
Dubuque. His visits to the city were regular,
and arrangements had been made for an i'm
mediate union, when the bride elect was
stricken down with typhoid fever, and in
spite of all that skill and care could do, died,
After the melancholy journey to Oakdale the
young man returned to Dubuque. Nervous
fever set in, and peculiar hallucination
seized him that his lost one was present in
the room draped in the same garb which had
in vain. He minutely described her dress,
her appearance, and her position in his
chamber Even when his parents Or friends
would stand or sit where he declared her to
be, he saw her glide away and take another
place. This went on for weeks, and the pa
tient was gradually sinking under the physi-
cal and nervous excitement, when friendly
ruse was tried to cure him OF his ecstacy.
Coming to Davenport, his mother found that
the funeral garments were purchased of G..
& NJ, and made by Mrs. B. She procured
the material, had it made up, and returning,
a young lady as near in height and appear
ance as could be found was dressed to resem-
BILE his deceased love, and during one OF his
fevered and brief slumbers was introduced
into his room, taking her seat in shaded
corner. His weakening was anxiously watched
and sanguine hopes of removing his hailuci-
nation were INDUCED. He awoke at length,
and turning his eyes in the direction OF the
pious fraud, stared with fixed eyes for some
seconds, then raising himself almost upright
in his bed, he flung his arm aloft, and Shrek

IN Attempt to Interview Admiral

From the New York Herald
Walking up to Mr.. Semmes in the hotel
office, introduced myself as Herald cor
respondent, and asked the favor of few
minutes conversation. Hestraightened him
self up, and in digniied manner replied: =
Semmes.-Sir, am nothing but plain
citizen, practicing law in Alabama. have
nothing to say that could interest anybody
politically. have nothing to do with the
politics of our State, and wish to have moth
ing to do with politics whatever.
Correspondent. But, Admiral, it is not
politics SO much that wish to ask you about:
Imerely wished to ascertain your opinion as
to the destiny of the country, whether it is
going to remain republic, or will 1t be con-
verted into an empire? '..
Semimes.-That, sir, remains to be seen.
1t is very uncertain what the destiny of the
country, will be.
Correspondent have, doubtless, seen
the discussion in the newspapers on the SUBJ
ject of Cearism? i.
Semmes. Yes, sir, / have.
Correspondep&-Doy you think Gen. Grant
will be elected to 4 third term? .N.-
Semmes. IL have no doubt that if General
Grant wishes it he can be elected third time,
contrary as it is to the established precedents
of the country.
Correspondent that event do you be-
lieve it would be march to empire?
Scmmes.-That am unable to say. 1t is,
as said BEFORE uncertain, and lies hidden in
the womb of the future, only to be decided
BY events.
And as the Admiral said this he turned
rather abruptly, ended the conversation and
walked off, with his hands behind his back,
his umbrella dangling from them and the
patch of bald at the crown of his head plainly
visible under the leaf of his elevated chapeau.

There can no longer be any doubt that 4
very serious political combination is organ
izing in Europe to destroy every element of
progress realized by the liberal parties OF the
various countries of the continent during the
past twenty-five years. The combination
proposes to restore the Bourbons, in the per-
son Of the Count of Chambord, to the throne
of France, under the form of constitutional
monarchy, Marshal MacMahon retaining con-
tE0l, Of the army as Lieutenant General, anu
the tficolor remaining the national flag, as
compromise between the Bourbons, Orleans
and Liberal factions. AT the same time the
Carlist, movement is to be encouraged, and by
it 9 Bourbon King is to be placed on the
throne Of Spain. There is no question that
Austria has,. to some extent, indorsed this
new combination and promised support in
case oftneed. The Vienna Press acknowl-
edges this to be the case. and Bismarck's pri-
vate organ, the Psussian Volks6latt, openly
arraighs Austria for it's conduct in this mat
ter..H The combination is of Catholic, or
rather Jesuitical, origin, and means this: If
Spain and France can be united under Bour-
bon rule for one common object. and if Aus
tria can be induced to join the project, hold
ing,Nnt to Austria both her hatred of Prussia
anAfher desire to regain her lost Italian Pro-
wins, then it is possible to raise power
agt the present German Empire and the
Al19dom of Italy, which will destroy both
thaaasgoyernments, restore to the Pope his
temporal sovereignty, and fasten again upon
the European peoples the yoke which they
haveso eagerly sought to throw off.
lit is useless to deny that the plan isfcleverly
conceived: Austria, France and Spain against
Italy and the new German Empire. And it
is sad to reflect that the new German Empire
has since its restoration acted in A manner
to ALLEVIATE the sympathies of many of the ele-
ments that are necessary for power so sin
gularly situated as it is. Still it is to be hoped
that the liberal factions both OF France and
Spain will achieve success that must over
throw all these Vaccinations of the enemies
of republicanism in Europe. Castelar, is
doing well in Spain; and, should MacMahon
really attempt to carry out the role assigned
to him In the plan of the Jesuits, we still have
some hope that he will find French CASTELAR,
