Report of the secretary Of The Na,y.

WASHINGTON, Decemberl. The report of
Secretary of the Navy Hunt has been
completed. The Secretary says: The
condition of the Navy imperatively
demands the prompt and earnest
attention of Congress Unless some action
is taken in its behalf it must soon dwindle
INTO Insignificant. We have been unable
to make such an appropriate display
OF our naval power abroad as will cause us
to be respected, The exhibition of our
weakness in this important arm
of defense is calculated to do
tract from our occupying in the ewes
OF foreign nations that rank to which we
know ourselves to be Justly entitled. Calls
are made upon the department to
send vessels into different parts
OF the world in order to prevent threat
ened aggression on the rights of American
citizens, and to shield them in time
OF civil commotion in foreign lands from
insult or personal indignity. Ii is to be
deplored that in many such
instances it has been proved
to be impossible to respond to
these demands.

The Plainness of Persian Dress.

The governor of the Derguez is fine
looking man, with coal-black beard. over
the middle height, and apparently about
45 years of age. Like most people of
high rank in Persia he dresses with an
excessive plainness, which might seem.
affected did one not know that all extern
al luxury in dress IS despised as wom-
anish. Of course the regalia of the SOW
ereign on state occasions forms an ex-
ception, but even he on ordinary occasions
dresses in conformity with the existing
tastes.
In these districts a chief will load his
horse with gorgeous trappings, and en-
circle it's neck with heavy silver collar
set with comedians, to indicate the rank
OF the rider, he himself, so far as dress is,
concerned, being indistInguishable from
his own principal attendants riding
around him. In accordance with the
same custom no Persian will wear a gold
ring, those used by men being unvaria-
bly, OF silver and of the slenderest, most
unadorned pattern A Turcoman will
wear absolutely nothing in the shape of
jewelry, except signet ring; and even
this is only worn by chief or wollah,
whose functions occasionally REQUIRE
them to append their seals to various doc
uments. The seal is always engraved on
a comedian, but always mounted in sill
yer. L recollect seeing on the finger OF
the shah Zade, prince-governor OF
"a diamond which cannot have
been worth less than e100 sterling, but
the slender thread OF silver around the
finger was scarcely discernlble.

Swiss arminu-

The smallest farms in the world are
found in Switzerland. In the canton of
Geneva the average size is only five and
half acres. AS matter of course, the
employment of labor-saving machinery is
out of the question. It is stated that
there is not reaper or mower in the en-
tire canton. The grain is cut with the
old-fashioned sickle threshed with fail
and winnowed by pouring it thro' the air.
People turn the soil with a spade and
cultivate the crops with a hoe. The
amount of milk produced is very large,
and it furnishes a considerable proper
ton of the food of the people. Those
who are too poor to have COWS keep
goats, that are able to climb the steep
hills and mountains without difficulty.
A large variety of cheese is made from
different kinds of milk while the COWS
and goats are grazing in the mountains.
All the Swiss dairy products are of
very superior quality, and bring high
price In the market. Strange as it may
appear, Swiss cheese is sold in every
large city in this country, and the milk
canned among the Alps completes with
that put up in our condensing factories.
Swiss dairymen make considerable by
the sugar of milk from whey.
Frauds in the manufacture of butter and
cheese are unknown In Switzerland.

Discovery of Buried Moorish City.
From the London Ne

Great excitement has just been caused
at Alglers among archpologists and the
learned generally, by the discovery of an
ancient Moorish CITY with it's mosques
and monuments, buried for ages in the
sand of the desert The discovery is
due to M. larry, inspector of finance,
who Immediately communicated the fact
to the Algerian government, begging for
the necessary help in excavation, and
also for concession of the desired space
In which to carry on the work. The re-
quest, it is needless to say, has been ac-
corded. "The city disinterred % lies in
the environs of Ouargla, in the Saharan
desert. NJ larry Identifies it with the
ancient city of Cedrata, spoken of by
Largean in his work on Biskra. His
torians describe these wastes of sand as
peopled centuries ago with Furnishing
cities, having gardens and artificial
watersystems, all long since destroyed
in tribal wars, OF buried in the sand,
and Of which, up to this time no visible
trace has remained. M. larry describes
the site as precisely resembling that of
Pompeii; it is buried liz the sand to the
extent Of from six to ten metres.
A mosque and nine houses have al
ready been excavated, and the discover
erspeaks enthusiastically Of the richly
sculptured marble arches. columns, In
criptions, ETC., Astounding On every side.
He intends, however, to reserve a full
account of his excavations for the science
congress to be held III Algiers this spring;
and meantime the works are being siren
uously pushed on. It is notew orthy
that the inspector-general Of the mines
some time since drew attention to the
fact of artesian "nappes " or basins ex-
listing there, and NJ. Tarry's first efforts
have been to experiment in this direction.
After many unsuccessful attempts, he
was at last rewarded by finding water
and the commencement of an aqueduct.
A fete was given to the workmen in cele-
bration Of this discovery. AS the works
Of excavation are carried ON at distance
of several miles from the oasis of Quar-
gla, this find has greatly facilitated mat
tiers, much labor and time having before
been expended in fetching water.

Assassinated at Last.

The car of Russia was assassirated by Nihil-

but was prevented from firing it. second
bomb was then thrown by another person and
fell close to the czars feet. its explosion shat
tering both his legs. The car fell crying for
help Col. Dorjibki, though himself much in
jured, raised the emperor, who was conveyed to
the winter palace in Col. Dorjlbli's sleigh. The
car fingered an hour and half. Al efforts
toraily him failed. The only name he uttered
after being struck was the name of the caro-
vitsch. The latter on leaving the palace after
the death of his father was hailed as the en-
peror by the crowd. He was surrounded, con
erary to his custom, by strong mounted escort.
4 cossack and passer by was killed on the spot.
The Grand Duke Michael was wounded. An
officer Of the escort and cossack have since
died tfsl..

Elizabeth of Austria.
GFrom I,e Figaro I


The Empress Elizabeth of Austria IS
the most beautiful crowned lady in taae
world. Yet one loves to contemplate
her, not adorned with costly laces and re-
splendent in hereditary jewels, but ar
rayed in the dark cloth dress of castel-
lans' wives Of the ,olden time, proudly
and bravely refining in fiery horse.
The retreats& old Hungary have a great
fascination fGr her. It is among them
that she gallaps with a heroines reck-
lessness; now dashing at full speed be-
meath the shadow of ancient trees, now
leaping over hedge and ditch.
What an apparition liz this matter-of-
fact age of our is this chivalrous beauty.

and delicate as a snowflake, which Aus
trlan peasants attach to their buttonholes
as sign of love. The little nosegay
was given the empress by her husband
at the time they were betrothed. u
For the last two Years Elizabeth of
Austria has gone to ireland for her hunt
ing. This year she will take up her resi-
denoe at CombernIore Abbey. Twenty
grooms and horses have been sent in ad-.
vance to the empress residence. Her
suite is composed of about forty persons
OF very varied rank, from chamberlains
and maids of honor down to cooks and
scullions. The empress hates all noises.
