THE STORMY AL3ATRoss.

No passenger to Southern lands can
have failed to note the extraordinary
powers of flight of this magnificent bird,
and the wonderful ease with which it
sweeps for some minutes together
through the air on expanded, motionless
pinions, rising and falling slightly. and
taking advantage of tho gravity OF it's
own body and the angle at which the
wind strikes its feathered sails to prolong
the course OF its flight with the least pos
sible effort. Seldom, except in very
calm weather, may it be seen to alight
upon the water, from which it rises with
difficulty, running for some distance
along the surface. The ends of the
the breeze, and rises into the air in
quiet, gentle curve, in exactly the same
manner as paper kite. The albatross
follows ship many days in succession.
sleeping at night upon the water and
coming up with her in the morning,
there can be no doubt. We have watched
them for several consecutive evenings
during fine weather. in the latitude of
the trade winds. settling down on the
water at shutdown, and preening their
feathers, until they become mere specks
in the field of the telescope; but they
were with US again in the morning soon
after sunrise, some strangers among
them, perhaps, but several which, from
some popularity of marking. We knew to
be our companions of the day before.
In one instance conspicuous mark had
been made by q pistol bullet in the wing
of an old brown.headed and curiously
pied bird, by which he could be iden
tilted beyond doubt. The second OF
third flight-feather had been shot away
leaving clearly defined gap in the wins
as it came between the light and the eye
and this bird followed Us for three days
after having been fired at, though we hat
been sailing an average of nearly eigh
knots an hour. One OF the most striking
examples OF their endurance on the wing
however, is the fact, which we have NOR,
than once observed, that the same bird
which had been unwearily following u
in the day. accompanied US Throughout
the whole OF the succeeding night. a
could be easily verified by the light O
the moon.

Edward King writes from London

Edward King writes from London to
the Boston Journal: London is beginning
to aeitate the question of the electric light.
There is photographer here who takes
photographs by means OF that benefcent
invention in the darkest evenings, and
people prefer to sit at night rather than
in the obscurity OF gloomy dsyfog.
Experiments will presently be made on
some of the principal streets of London
with the light now used in Paris. An
Englishman travelling in Spain writes to
the Times that the Puerta de Sol, a large
and rather dull square in the center of
Madrid, is most successfully illuminated
by lights set in six globes of opal glass,
in sets of three or two lamp-posts about
twice as tall as those generally used for
gas. He says the electric lights enabled
him to read small print when thirty or
forty yards from them. The globes have
no painful glare whatever. but each one
seemed like full moon" Regent
Circus, the Strand, the Hsymarket, and
other crowded thoroughfares will have
the electric apparatus before many
months, fancy.

William Cullen Bryant, who died at his
residence in the city of New York, has for
many years been well and favorably known
to the people Of the United States. Almost
every school boy in the land has read his
"Thanatopsis" and most of the people are
familiar with his name as poet and his
reputation in the literary world, Not so
many, probably, are aware of his political
labors, or will be so ready to recall him to
mind as the editor of the New York
EUening Post as they will be to think of
the poet; and yet to his intelligent and
and patriotic labors in connection with the
press this country is more indebted than
to his more conspicuous but less substan.
tial poetic fame. He was a man Of
remarkable purity of character, honored
and respected by men Of all classes and all
parties, and had attained to the ripe OLD
age Of eighty-three years. He had beer
editor Of the Post for forty-four years.
Of his poetry it has been justly said thai
lit has the characteristics Of extreme
purity and elegance in the choice o.
words compact and vigorous diCtiOn
great delicacy of fancy and elevation O
thought, and genial yet solemn religious
philosophy. As a minute observer o
nature, he was almost without q riva
among poets.

Stanley Mathews needs to be comforted
The senate committee, appointed to white
wash their brother senator, appear to be
unwilling to perform the task assigned and
have been asking 30 be excused. One by
one they offered their excuses and were
excused, until three of the number had as
they supposed got released from their
disagreeable duty. But thereupon the
remainder of the committee, realizing how
unpleasant the whitewashing business was
likely to be, said that if so many were
excused all ought to be. If the white
washing must needs be applied, all should
participate and tighten the load. Under
these representations the senate recon
sidered its graciousness in letting off a
part of the committee, and insisted that
the committee must remain as originally
constituted. There's large black spot in
the senator's political life which will re-
quire considerable amount Of wash well
laid on, but as the senate is tenacious OF
Its rights and dignity it is probable the
committee will make vigorous efforts tC
give as fair an outside appearance as sena-
torial manipulation can give to so dirty a
subject.

In yesterdays session of the House OF
Representatives while in Committee of the
Whole, Hiram Price moved in regard to
Rock leland Arsenal further appropriations
aggregating $265, 900, which was adopted.
Our Representative, Mr.. Henderson,
hasn't even the poor honor Of having
made the motion. An Iowa Representa-
tive steps in and performs the duty which
naturally devolyes upon the representative
of this district, The decisive vote by
which the motion was adopted in Com
mittee of the Whole shows conclusively
that it is not the fault of a Democratic
House that the matter has come so near
going by default Concede that Mr..
Hewitt is personally opposed to the appro.
prlatlon, his opposition is not effective
against proper influences, and doesn't
weigh against the measure when it is once
presented. a democratic House not only
shows that 1t is not hostile to the appro-
priatlon but has placed it on the. same
footing as other items Of the appropriation
Dill although tie motion to do so happened
to be made by republican, Tie oppo-
sltion.of Mr.. Hewitt, although democrat,
Is no more chargeable to the democratic
majority in the House, than the personal
action of Mr.. Price entities the republicans
to any special credit for making the mo-
ton; if the House was actually hostile as
body, or If the democratic majority as a
body were opposed to granting the appro.
priation, MIR. Prices influence couldn't
have secured favorable consideration any
more than Mr. Hewitt's opposition has
failed to prevent it, Whatever credit
there is in the matter belongs to the dem.
ocrats, AS to Henderson--his influence
In behalf OF the interests of this locality
is about equal to the little end of nothing

Something like the tardy progress of
the congress which is to meet at Berlin to
settle the eastern question, has been the
dilatory action of European nations in ac-
ceptiug the proposition of this country for
an international money conference. 1t is
now given out that the conference is likely
to be assured. Thus far France, Italy,
Russia, Hungary, Greece, Switzerland and
Holland have agreed to send delegates to
the conference. The object as our readers
will recollect is to agree upon a basis for
the permanent establishment of an inter
national bimetallc gold and silver cur
Iency. The first step towards the con-
ference on the part of this country was the
clause in the ill remonetizing silver which
provided that the president should take
steps to bring about such q conference for
the purposes of international consultation
and concurrence in regard to the use Of
silver coin.
