The Excursion.
BY wArnAN D. unNrR.

By NATHAN d. URsER.
Again, as I thread these rustic ways
Here in the heart OF the summer land,
am gently reminded Of other days
by objects rising or either hand;
But mostly yon bowery isle, mid-stream,
Whose thin cape splits the blue river apart,
Recalls quaint feast like a feast in a dream,
But dear alike to my mind and heart.
There were only six Of us; Ralph and Nell,
Aud Curtis and Rose Getty cousins the last
Aud lray-cyed Florence, whose deeph Wei,
was her lover, aud it's long since past;
But iollier party never filed craft
As We rounded that point w the cedar glade;
The sOurcst ascotic could nos but have laughed
At the highly romantic appearance we made.
Roses and ionquis on bright heads in crowns,
wreaths of tuem, too, from the gunwalcs a1oai
Boughs OF fresh foliage in wild fostoons
From stem to stern OF the painted boat
But under them all ON cheek and lip
Rosebuds more tempting, aud laugh aud song,
Hands splashng over, and oar-blades a-dir,
And beauty and bliss as we drifted along
We reached the island How well recall
The girls pretty screams IS we helped them to
land
How Rose wet her feet, and Flo.'s limsy shawl
Like cloud vailed my arm as she gave me her
hand
Then the neat little lunch in the legendcd grot,
With the white cloth spread by the spring at its
mouth.
The tests remember, the toasts I've forgot
And the wind pouring in from the clouds in the
south.
Then We made them a swing from grapevine
twist,
Read poems, told tales, with romp now and
then,
Played croqnet while, had rubber OF whilst
And talked with the echo that haunts the glen
Then IA couples apart, as betrothcd levers should,
We strayed, to repeat the old tale ever young.
How well remember the bench in the wood,
Between the two oaks, aud who sat there so long
Then, weary but blithe at the days dim close,
We driftod at peace in the starlight a-down,
And saw with regret, as the sickle-moon rose,
The iaint-twinkling lights Of our trim little town
For our hearts were 80 full and our souls were SO
blest,
We wished the fair stream were enchanted, that
Might glide down for aye ON its soft-heavng breast
fi lost in the CLEAN Of a far fairy sea.
Hinged with romance how those things now appear
For, just on my way through the village to-day,
passed the old house where for many year
Fair Florence my rivals proud home has made
gay;
And Ralph and Nell are long married and Rose
Passed away when poor Curtis was killed in the
wars
And am alone, while the calm river flows,
Unheeding and bright, through its bio. somng
shores.

CHINESE WAR MOVEMENTS.

y European correspondent writes
that news has reached Berlin that
China has pushed forward $4,000
troops to the Kashgar frontier, and, in
addition, placed large garrisons in the
towns of Barkerel and Chants. Troops
have, moreover, been concentrated in
the North, in Tarbakatar keldo and
Ulyasutai. which can be readily made
available for the war with Kashgaf.
1t Is proposed to attack the latter
country simultaneously from two sides.
At ST. Petersburg it is believed that in

LATER.

PARIS, August l2.--It has been as
certaincd that the plan for Marshal
Bazainos escape from the island OF
Ste. Marguerite was arranged six weeks
ago. II was entirely the work of Ma
dame Bazainc. The Marshal refused
at first 10 fly, but finally, owing to his
failure to obtain some notifications of
his sentence, Yielded. He sailed from
the island in the steam yacht Baron
Ricasoli, belonging to an Italian com
pany. The prisoner refused to employ
a French vessel. He was accompanied
IN his flight by his wife and brother.
His place of refuge is not known.
Some persons say he is in Spain. Do
mestics ut the fort where the Marshal
was imprisoned, have been arrested.

BhZAINP's ESCAPE.

The following interesting particulars
of the escape of Marshal Bazine from
his prison in the Isle ST. Marguerite
have been received
The apartments occupied by Marshal
BaIaine opened upon terrace, upon a
lofty, procipitous cliff, ovorhanging the
sea. A sentry was posted on the ter
race with orders to watch the prisoners
every movement. During Sunday
evening the Marshal walked upon the
terrace with Col. Villctte, his abide
camp. At ten o'clock he retired rs
usual, apparently to sleep, but before
daybreak he had effected an escape.
He must have crossed the terrace in
the dead Of night, and, elldingt the sen.
tinel, gained the edge OF the prccipicc,
whence, by means of knotted rome.
he descended to the sea. He evidently
slipped during the descent and tore his
hands, as the rope was found stained
with blood in several places.
Under the cliff, in a hired boat, were
Bazaine's wife and cousin. They re-.
ceivcd him as he reached the water
and Madame La Marechal, ta,tinc the
oars herself, rowed directly to the
strange steamer. which mad been living
off the island since t,,le previous even

IT appears that, although there are
about eleven millions horses in Russia.
the number available for ordinary road
and street traffic, and for employment
in the army, is only 100000 This is
owing TO the fact that on the average,
each family requires one horse for ag-
ricultural purposes, and in this way
10. 100, 600 horses are absorbed. As

THE WHITE MAJORITY.

The New Orleans Republican, o1
October Goth, 1874, gives some fig
ures regarding the relative strength
of the political parties in this State,
and says, the case then stands
thus:

Total voters by tho census. 30. 145 ,26O
Now let us turn to the registra-
ton records Of 1868, the first com.
plete registration since the war.
What do we find One hundred
and forty six thousand three hun
dred and ty-eight were regis.
tered. This was two years before
tho census, and does not show a
very great discrepancy from the
census figures. There were regis
tered in 1870, 153,36O. This was
some monts after the taking of the
census. We do not take cogni.
zance of the frauds alleged by both
sides to have been committed, for
we do not think it materially
changed the result.
The vote of tho State Of Louisi-
ana in 1868 as officially recorded
was eighty Thousand two hundred
and twenty-five (S0,225) for Sey-
mour and Blair. No sane man can
pretend that q virulent Republi-
can administration, such as we had
in 1868, allowed the Democrats
more votes than they really cast.
Now, taking the census and the
official journal of the Republican
party as a guide, we find the
strength of the political parties to
be as follows:
