THE KING OF THE CANN1BAL ISLANDS.
BY J. W. DE FOREST.


CEune-'' BIaIbFouk.'0 --. ---
The King of The CauuibaI Islands an.
Decided to conquer some dry lands.
So he marched over valleys and highlands
With twenty-fOur cauuibaI braves;
With two dozen name ating knaves,
Al hungry as 50 many graves,
He sklTmished through earthlauds and skylauds
Defiant Of weather and waves.
He came to Atlantis the Holy
Whose people We're lamt-ike and Iowly,
Though growing touch rOly-p0ly
And langnid in fasting and prayers
They tasted While sleeping, like bears,
And prayed in their Vanity Fairs,
And walked in the narrow way slowly,
Much numbered with BeIzebubs wares.
Then foIIoTed wonderful battle:
Good lack! how the weapons did rattle!
The women, the children. the cattle
Took part in the desperate strife;
They carried the TO the knife;
With slaughter Atlantis was rife, 80
About in the MUSES. viii pTattle
While Providence granteth them life.
The CannibaIs turned out the winners,
They made twenty-five hearty dinners,
They gObbed the saints and the sinners
And put al Atlantis to sack;
They swallowed white, yellow and black,
The hun griest, Preediest pack
OF robbers and pickers and SINNERS
That ever sent region to wrack.
Henceforth they were chiefs Of the nation,
And lived bv relief legislation
They served up bill for collation.
And fattened a law like a-beast;
Their appetites daily increased;
lunch was patent, at least;
While Talli Dads and steam navigation,
Scarce furnished the joints for a feast.
-ScribHer for HUrch.

QUEEN VICTORIA.

OF Queen Victoria the present vol
umes have but little to say, though
that little is pleasant. The account the
author gives of the young queens first
meeting with her council, a few hours
after her uncle King Williams death,
canuOt fail to make upon the reader, as
it did upon her people, q most favorable
impression a. =
June 2lst.-The king died at twenty
minutes after two yesterday morning,
aud the young queen met the council at
keDsiDgtOn palace at eleven. Never
was anything ike the first impression
she produced, or the chorus of praise
and admiration which is raised about
her manner and behavior, and certainly
not without Justice. The queen entered
the council chamber, accompanied by
her tNo uncles, who advanced to meet
her. Sue bowed to the lords, took her
seat, 8nd then read her speech in
clear, distinct and audible voice, ard
without any appearance of fear or en-
.barrassment She was quite plainly
dressed and IN mourning. After she
had read her speech and taken and
signed the oath for the security of the
church of Scotland, the priYy council
lors were sworn, the two royal dukes
first, by themselves and as these two
O!d men, her uneles, knelt before her,
swearing allegiance and kissing her
hand, L saw her blush up to the eyes,
as If she felt the contrast between their
civil and their natural relations aud
this was the only sign of emotion which
she eviDced. Her manner to them was
very graceful and engs ging; she kissed
them both, and rose from her chair and
moved toward the duke of Sussex, who
was farthest from her, and too iufrm TO
reach her.

" True Story" of George Washington.


About 13O years ago he was a little
boy and used to go round hunting for
wasps' nests. 1t was the experience he
gained when the wasps used to go
hunting around for him, that enabled
George to endure without finchiug the
hardships of his future life. He was
born OF rich parents, and the fact has
commonly been supposed to account fC r
his possession of a hatchet, but the
truth is that his father kept a hardware
store. 1t was the detection of George,
in the act of chOpping waterm melon
vines with this hatchet, that laid the
foundation of all his subsequent great
ness. Convinced that it would be use
less to attempt to prove an alibi, George
sIid
" Father you know you stole those
vines-theV never grew there of their
own accord.
Brushing deeply, his parent replied {:
4" George, if you won tsay a word abOut
it to your mother, I'll forgive you.
George held up his right hand, and,
catching upon his pale high brow the
last rays of the setting sun, reclaimed,

sake ] Will not tell the truth. Here

ThereupOn they both knelt down
upon the long wet grass, AMI sOlemnly
dedicated TO their country their " lives,
their fortunes aud their sacred honor.
Then George arose, cut off the claws OF
the British lion with one stroke of his
sword, aud expired, at an advanced
age, of fatal attack Of diphtheria.

Spring Fashions.

Lucy Hooper has taken an early look
at some specimens of a rev and beauti-
fui fabric inst designed for spring wear.
In her last letter from Paris she tells
all abOut it. 1t consists of a Iight-cOl-
Ored silk brOcade, with q raised ara
besQue pattern IN velvet of a shade
darker. than the hue Of the ground
work. This sounds rather heavy and
unspring- like, says Lucy, but the tints
are SO delicate and the patterns so
light and open III effect that the mate
nal looks thoroughly suited to the sea
SOD. Two sha les of green dark velvet
on light green silk, two of pale cafe
au-lait, and a lace-like pattern in black
on a white silk ground, were among the
styles looked at. A very new and eff
fective material for spring caps is com
posed of black cashmere, cut out in
flower like patterns and applique on
strong black silk net, the edges of the
flowers and leaves being finished of
with a narrow silk braid. The net of
the ground work Is specially manufac-
tured for this purpose, and Is remark
ably solid and capable of enduring
much wear. The garments are finished
off with black tape fringe laid over an
other fringe Of sewing-silk. DOlman's,
sacques, sleeveless jackets, and apron
Oyersbirts are TO be made of this mate
raj, which is rich-lookiug, effective,
durable, and not specially costly. 1t is
thus far the great novelty Of the season.
A new material for evening dresses is
also just out it is a silvery- looking
white gaUze, with surface crinkled
like that of Canton Grape it is soft IN
texture, and has been brought ont to
replace the ever-pspuIar crepe de Chine.
