HOW HE TAX 1T.
Hancock at Work as Usual.

NEW YORK, Nov. Sat Q O'Clock this a.
m. General Hancock went to his official
headquarters and was soon immersed in the
daily military correspondence. He had read
the morning papers at breakfast and knew
the result. Not a word fell from his lips;
not a movement of his impassive face gave
token of emotion within. 1t was only by
intuition that the members Of the home ciI-
Gle remained silent throughout the morning
meal. The General took his hat and did
what every man will give him credit for do
ing-he went to work. Two or three visit
ors called and were received by General
Mitchell in the Office. At 10 o'clock the
fcrry-yacht brought over to Governors Is
land gentleman who had once himself
tasted the bitter experience Of the soldier
candidate for Presidential honors, General
George b. McClellen. 1t was kindred feel
| ing, doubtless, that drew these two men to-
gether, and as they stood there, manly, dig
nifed and silent, they formed picture that
was at once impressive and illustrative Of
the vanity Of all human greatness.
| "Well, General" was the visitors only
greeting.
"Mac, I am glad to see you," responded
Hancock.
al am sorry"
al am sorry, too, but only for the people
and the party"
The other visitors withdrew, leaving the
two GeneI ais alone.

POETRY.
NITocRIS.
AUGUSTA LARsED.

The king sat high upon his throne
TO judge old Egypts mighty land,
Palms waved and Nilus' waters shone
And far off CLEANED the Libyan sand.
Satraps were near to heed his nod
And armies hung upon his look;
The people fell before his god
And read his eye, a fateful book.
Now AT high noon, most fervid hour,
The king is sunk in thought profound,
While heaven scowls DER the coming
shower
And breathless silence broods around.
Sudden a bolt from out the the sky
Like some hot, kissing meteor shore
The king starts with thrilling cry
And sees a portent near the throne.
For rushing whirlwinds bowed the tents
And threw a sandal at his feet,
A Tadys shoe of much expense,
Jeweled and fringed, but small and neat.
Quick speeds the tempest through the sky
And newly washed the landscape glows,
The crowned palms rejoice on high,
The desert CLEANS in pearl and rose.
The king cries out TO all his host,
Bring me the lady of the land
Who wore this shoe of boundlesS cost
And claims the bounty of my hand"
His minions hasten on their way,
They scour the borders near and far,
And fnd ut last, hid from the day
4 maiden shining like star.
Twas she. and so the myths relate,
Who. bathing in old Nilus' ware,
Was robbed by nimble winds, AMI fate
Her sandal to the monarch gave.
This maid the king did quickly wed,
She mighty Egypt's queen became;
With naughty look, high lifted head,
She grew a great and tabled dame.
For her fond lord he siekened soon
And passed into his mummied rest:
And giving all her wishes room
Ambition fired The lady's breast.
She thought of conquest, dreamed of sway
Beyond old Nilus' sluggish flow;
And-who can tell at this far day.
Perchance she dOnned spear and bow.
Nor is her fame in ashes hid,
She longed to live with ardent soul,
And thus She built pyramid
And wrote her name upon Timesscrou.
But great Nitocris now is nought
Save some small pinch of ancient dust /;
Sire lives no brighter in the thought
Than signs on her sarcophagus.
The queen is dead, the queens decayed,
Her tomb a curious heap OF stones;
But that young, fresh and rosy maid
Has outlived monarchies and thrones.
Twas she who cast her little shoe
Over all lands and every age;
In childhood's annals, old and new,
She wrote the most enhancing page.
For she il but the antique form
OF Cinderella, whom we know,
And good ~ love and fair n morn
On through the world shall ever 60.

Tn. ta,es, wonder OF Etec.siel,y.

The invention of the photophoI,e, the joint
result of the labors Of Professor A. Graham

warmly received and heartily appreciated 10y

the principles Of the photophone, which seems

The Future Of weathe, Fo.'eteiling
Ms. Shaler, in November Atlantic

s. Shaler, in November Atlantic.
In no other part of her wide realm has
science done so little for the good Of man or
her own fame as in the department Of mete-
orology In the solid earth her prophecies
have long had high value, In the far-oH
heavens her empire Is affirmed, but In the
unstable air between these two weil-possess-
ed provinces there is a region that is not yet
subjugated. Around the border OF domain
of meteorology some gains to the cause Of
law and order have indeed been made; we
control the lightning, we are able to track
clearly defined storm for days on its patti, ,and
can help the sailor to knowledge that often
enables him to escape its clutches when 1t
assails him on the deep sea; but as for FORE
telling the weather in any proper sense, we
have not yet attained it. Is It attainable? ?
Can we hope to compass the conditions OF
our DAYS 80 that we may SOW and reap travel,
feast or make war in weather of our choice

questions that the future history of science
must determine. But though the perfect
answer 10 not to be given at present, there
