Sunrise in England and America

1t was not quite England, neither was it
quite France; yet like enough either f seem
natural in my eyes. And it was in tie sky,
and not upon the earth that was surprised
to find change. Explain it how you may,
and for my part cannot explain it at all,
the sun rises with a different splendor in
America and Europe. There is more clear
gold and scarlet in our old country morning
more purple, brown and smoky orange in
those Of the new. 1t may be from habit, but
to me the coming of day is less fresh and in
spiriting in the latter; it has duskier glory,
and more nearly resembles sunset; it seems
to fit some subsequential, evening epoch OF
the world, as though f'fs r;ca were in fact,
and not merely in fancy, further from the
orient of Aurora and the springs of day.

BosroN, Aug. 1.-The second mate and
twelve seamen OF the whaler Merlin Of New
Bedford wrecked last April on the southwest
coast OF Africa, arrived to-day on the Cunard
steamship Samaria. The Merlin sailed from
St. Helena April 18th, and and few days af-
ter struck whale, which rendered 1O7 barrels
of oil.
On the morning of the 23d, at about half
past one, the barque went ashore on the Afri-
can coast, at about is deg. south, and struck
heavily, nearly broadside on. The pumps
were started, but were speedily choked with
sand. The anchors would not hold. Every
effort was made to save the vessel, but upon
the next day it was found necessary to abandon
her, which the crew did, with a weeks provis-
ions, saving nothing. They pulled sixty miles
to Fish Bay, the nearest place Of refuge, where
they were kindly treated by the Portuguese
governor, who sent them to st. Paul de Loan
do The American Consul sent them to Ma
deirs, where the party separated, the captain,
first mate and twelve seamen proceeding to
Lisbon, the second mate aud twelve men going
to Liverpool. The Merlin belonged to John

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON. Aug. A recent despatch
from Washington to a Northern Journal, pur-
porting to disclose q new scheme for the acoui-
sition of portion OF Mexico by the United
States, has attracted some attention. When
Congress meets next winter, the Americans in
chihuahua, Mexico, said to number 10000,
are to pronounce" a dissolution of the reia-
tions of that State with Mexico establish
local State government anc apply Tor admission
to the United States. The story is discredited
here by those m position to gain early intelli-
gence of such a project, were it in contempla-
tion, for the reason that the annexation of any
Mexican territory could take place only by
Mexico's consent, which it is not believed
would be given, or through war, of which
there is net the slightest probability The
relations OF this country with Mexico ale cor
dial, and much American capital is there in
vested, not In chihuahua alone, but thron gh-
out the country. The scheme, with another
for the acquisition of Cuba, is said to have
originated at q meeting Last week in New
York stock brokers' Office, when it met with
much favor. The names of several prom nent
men in New York and Boston were introduced
in connection with it.
Customs Receipts for July.
The total receipts for customs during the
month os July last were $50, ,909 ,290, as against
$19,958, 80 collected from the same source last
year. This shows an increase of 1858, ,653 in
the first month of the new tariff law.
Leave of Absence of Treasury Clerks.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-Under coDstruc-
tion of law made some time ago by Secretary
Folger, leave Of absence of employees of the
Treasury Department is limited to thirty days
in each calendar year with pay, except in case
of sickness. 1t has heretofore been the Gus
tom to allow employees ten or fifteen days addi-
tional leave that they may 60 home to vote.
Now all absence from duty that account
will be deducted from the thirty days leave
allowed by law. In case an emp,oye has taken
his full leave before the time for voting has
arrived he can only go home to vote by losing
his pay for the time he may be absent No
action has been taken In the matter by the
heads OF other departments, but it is thought
that they will concur in the construction made
by Secretary Foger. The law is as follows:
"All absence from departments on the part OF
clerks In excess of such leave of absence as
may be granted, which shall not exceed thirty
days in any one year, except in case of sick
ness, shall be without pay"
Miscellaneous.
Postmaster General Gresham will return to
Washington Monday.
The Acting Postmaster General has today
approved design for the new four cent post

cason was favored with the presence of Rt.
Rev. Bishop Healy who delievered an able
and interesting discourse on the life of st.
Dominic. He began by saying that the church
bearing the name of this great saint was the
cradle OF Catholcity in Portland. He then
dwels on his life and achievements. He him-
self had the privilege of visiting the scenes of
his labors and OF visiting the hall where he
made his studies. st. Dominic was born in
Spain eC0 years ago. His youth was remark
able for its piety and devotion. AS student
he made great progress in the studies that
made him so eminent in learning and in ad-
vanciug the interests of religion. His gentle
ness, kindness and forbearance did much 10
check the beresy that was so prevalent In his
day. He also established a religious order
bearing his name and his disciples have labor
ed in every country throughout the world.
The music on the occasion was we'll render
