So far there is an indication of the ap-
preaching coronation of the Gar in the fact
that the crown and sceptre have passed into
the hands of the jewellers for preparation. The
crown is said to be worth $500, 900, and it is
remarkable for s. immense and perfect pearls,
and what may be fairly said to be an enor-
nous ruby. 1t is the same that was worn by
Catherine III. The sceptre was used by Paul
l., and is surmounted by the famous Orloff
diamond.

ode to a Government Mule.

From the San Francisco Wasp.
O, Government mule,
With thy pensive smile so meek,
Embodiment of colossal cheek,
OF thee L sing
OF thee
With thy winSOme smile and plalntiYe Dleat,
Esthetic ears and generous feet
o, Government mule!
Lurking somewhere in thy treacherous heel,
Condensed chained lightning thou dust conceal,
And like u bolt from heaven sent.
Thy timber legs, with skill unbent,
Demonstrates the absurd excess
OF thy internal c,ssedneSS.
o mule, thou breakfast me all up
And fill'st with bitterness my cup.
The joyous thrill of thy plaintive bray
AS thou cooest thy pathetic lay,
(The sweetest warbing ever heard,
Giveth points TO the snide canary bird
OF WashOe.

LAKE STEAMERS FOR SINE CANAD.
IAN PACIFIC.

The new Clyde built steel steamers of
the Canadian Pacific Co., designed for
service on Lake Superior and the wes-
tern portion of Lake Huron, are go f..
long, 80 #. beam, % #. deep, and have
a carrying capacity of 1000 tons. They
will ply between Algoma, on Lake
Huron, and Fort William, ut the head
of Thunder Bay, near the western ex-
tremity of Lake Superior, at which two
points the great railway undertaking. of
the company touches the lake system.
The total distance from Winnipeg to
Montreal by the lake route is 1915
miles, as compared with about LAG
miles by the railroad route through
Chicago. In order to pass the steamers
through the canals, they have been so
designed that after steaming ont to
Montreal, they could with comparative
ease be cut in two, and for that purpose
ths hnlls have been constructed with
seven water tight bIlkheads, the center
one of which will serve only tenn
porary use. After the two portions have
been fioated up to Lake Ontario, they
will again he put together and receive
their final fitting and furnishings.
Westward the steamers will carry pas
sengers and 9eneyal cargo, and, in or
der 10 Il. them for such service, accom-
mediation will be provided for some eco
or GOO emigrants on the main deok, and
staterooms will be fitted up for some
240 first class passengers. Coming down
the lakes they will bring wheat and
-four, there being four water tight holds
capable collectively of taking in about
900 tons Of wheat in bulk.
