THE SECRET.
kold secret to maid,
Zone moon-lit summers night,
lAnd she q willing promise made
I To keep my secret from the light.
And felt content, for this maid, thought,
As she is fair, is pure in heart.
But, when heard it from friend,
/ knew the maid betrayed;
And faith in her was at an end,
Though Love for her stood all arrayed.
For what can love be with a maid, thought,
Who, lair in face, is false at heart.

A Scene in Cairo.

As we sit in our hotel windows awaiting
the moment of departure, We enjoy last
tableau of Cairo. A long train of camels
hles by, each one attached to the tail of
the one preceding. They march on erect
beneath the large building stones with
which they are laden. They look limo.
cent, even sad; yet they are said to brlstle
with rage if provoked beyond measure.
These have hardly passed when there fol-
lows a wedding procession. At the head
pipes piper upon a reed, which squeaks
nightly; then two drummers supply with
great volume what the reed lacks in sweet
ness. Now follow long lines of Arabs
arm in arm across the highway; then the
bridegroom, bestraddling donkey.
Throngs kiss his hands, and prophesy
happiness. Now follow women; thickly
veiled walks the bride between two brides
maids, who support her, and seem to address
her with much gesticulations, as if to tease
her; but perhaps they are giving her les
sions in marital matters. -Four gayly-
decked boys bear canopy over her head,
and she moves with the air of stage
queen. Behind these, with much talking
and shouting, come the rabble; and the
vile little donkey boys, congregating in
numbers before the hotel, when not be-
sieging some easy going excursionist, take
part in the merry procession by pushing
the bright little donkeys among them.
The beasts take the brunt of the beating
with gentleness, but appear not to relish
the fun. =. Welles, in iScri6ner for
December.

Receptions In Washington.

A Washington correspondent of the
Cleveland Herald writes:
The crowning chief characteristic OF
Washington, its glory, in fact,
and main attraction, aside from political
intrigue, offensive and defensive, is
its 'sbest society,"" which you come in
contact with at the receptions given by the
high public functionaries, from the Presi-
dent down; and the strangest part OF the
whole system is the satisfaction which
these receptions seem to give the gIvers.
How, think you, would the mistress OF
any one of the finest mansions on Euclid
enjoy the thought and action of throwing
her house open some evening next winter
ut nine O'Clock to receive all the we'll
dressed men and women of Cleveland
who may feel inclined to come, crowd,
jam and crush through her parlors, bed
rooms, and, in fact, everywhere except tho
cellar and the kitchen. their sole ccnversa-
ton with the hostess limited to a fervid
grasp of her hand and some muttered
nothings about weather." pleasure"

pushed bodily along by the pressure of
we'll. dressed humanity from behind, to re-
peat similar platitudes. This she must
endure for three or four long, weary
hours, without leaving her little standing
ground, and until the very WEAKNESS of
The callers themselves drives them by

morning. This is, without the least ex-
aggcration, submitted to every winter by
Mrs Secretary So and So, Mrs Speaker
This and Mrs Senator That, and though
It il done at first by them all with great re-
luctance. yet after having one reception
they seldom fail to keep them up from
season 10 season, or a. long as they re-
main in political ascendcncy; and did
they mot fancy the affair they might easily
avoid it, for it simply requires q short
note in the Star. at the beginning of the
season, saying that for the good reason Of
death or alarming illness of a relative Mrs.

and this 10 eminently satisfactory to the
Z" best society" But let it be distinctly
UNDERWOOD, for it il certainly fact that
has given the writer renewed faith and
hope for our credit as people, that these
great free parties are distinguished by the
utter absence of any rudeness, uncouth-
mess or vulgarity of any kind, and we
have never, in all our long residence
here, witnessed a scene" nor have we
ever seen an improper person in attend

at the White House, where occasionally

dies and gentlemen from the most exclu-
sive circles in all of our large cities have

AnecdOte Of q Trout.

Few anecdotes have been told of the in
telligence of fishes, and they do not gen.
orally get credit for much of it, nor do
they probably possess much. Yet that
they do possess some measure of it ap-
pears from the well known fact that carp
in ponds have learned to come at a certain
signal to be fed, and something of the
same kind has been observed of some kind
of sea-fish in a marine fish-pond. 1t
would be worth while for anyone who has
an aquarium to direct his attention to this
subject, and TO keep a record of his obser-
vations. Ours were made on a trout in q
burn. Its place of abode was under q
stone in small pool, Immediately below
wooden bridge, over which the path Il /
from the house in which VIC resided to the
garden. 1t was pleasing amusement for
boys to feed the trout with worms, which
were readily to be procured in the garden,
and the trout was fed accordingly, and
soon learned to come out from below the
stone and seize the worm thrown into the
pool, whatever number of spectators might
be close at hand on the bridge, and al
though some of them be little noisy.
But it was thought proper to try a trick
upon the poor fish, and present him with
a very small, long radish instead of a
worm. Out came the trout at once, the
radish, in shape and color, being quite
like a worm, and caught it ere it reached
the bottom, but quickly spat it out again
and retrcated to the shelter of the stone.
Once or twice aftcrward the trick was sue
cessfully repeated, but the trout soon
learned to distinguish radish from a
worm, and ceased to come out for the one,
although prompt enough in coming for
the other.-Chanl6ers' Journal.

A Paris correspondent in a sketch Of
CaEpoaux says: Carpeaux was very affect
Cd while at work, and indeed everywhere
now, affectation Of coarseness and vul-
garity, when he would insist ON smoking
. pipe, now theatrical ct work, assum-
ing attitudes, fiercely rolling his eyes,
adding clay here with half-ciosed eyes,
stepping back, frowning, shaking his
head, then rushing furiously forward to
odd smother mass Of clay, never using any
tools but his hands always. When in
company and asked TO add some
thing to an album, he would pre-
tend to withdraw to q corner, which he
would take care to choose SO that every
body in the room might see him, and then,
with frowning brow and thought-op-
pressed face, he would draw. In March,
1873, he became so i'll with stone the sur
goons thought an operation necessary.
The operation seemed successful, but it
was followed by cancer and the formation
Of stone. His sufferings from that day
till his release were the torments of the
damned. Prince Shirley had made
his acquaintance, had become deeply in
tercsted In him, and took him under his
protection. Protection was necessary, for
Carpeaux was literally penniless, and .
tnf6ng of creditors, all the harsher as
death drew nigh to destroy their capital,
were around his door. His wife had
quilted him some years before. Prince
Shirley gave him lodgings in his mansion
1t Nice during the winter land that mild
climate wss great relief to him), rented .
cottage for him during the rest of the year,
discharged his debts, gave him medical
attendance, provided him Q servant and
board. Carpeaux had long since been too
weak 10 work he could not even walk,
but was moved in q small bath-chair
which an attendant pushed. Death was
cruel TO him; Its agony began at eight
p. m, and for two hours continually
wruDg from him shrieks of anguish !;
then nature grew too exhausted to feel
pain; she swooned under the torture. In
reas0n's LIST flicker Carpeaux saw and rec
egnized his aged mother; he drew her
to him, said Mother, dear mother, I
love you with all my hearth and then
reason went out. At half-past ten the
extremities were cold, but life still per-
sisted; the death rattle began at midnight,
and twas only at six a. m. he fetched three
deep drawn sighs-the end was.

Soundings in the Great Salt Lake.

At the request of the Smithsonian Tn
stitute Prof Park, of the Deseret Uni
versity, with . number of gentlemen,
among them myself, have made q tour Of
the center of the lake for the purpose Of
soundings and examinations of the bot
tom. The first thirteen soundings were
ali the same-five fathoms-and were
about one mile apart. The bottom con-
sisted principally of white sand, but we
found green sand. dark sand, black sand
and rock, and in one Place where We
found the greatest depth, forty feet, we
found mud and clay. The thermometer
was 118 degrees in the sun and ninety six
degrees in the shade. For the purpose of
fixing the temperature on the bottom we
used J. q. Green's barometrical ther-
momefer. The surface of the lake was
seventy eight degrees and the bottom, at
six and q half fathoms from the surface,
registered seveuty-seven degrees. It is
said that the lake is rising, and it has in
creased about twelve feet in depth during
the last twenty years, but for the last year
or two think there has been NO percepti-
BILE change in this respect ALI the water
that now nows into the lake is equalized
