First Sight Of the Caspian Sea.

One of the most singular mental eff
fects noticed on myself was that pro-
duced whenever walked on the quay,
and saw the large fleet rocking in the
port Shelley's Alastor had from early
youth haunted my memory, and given
me the impression that the Caspian was
weird, half-ideal sea, with shores ten
anted by the ghosts of dead empires;
with coast which was reedy morass
trodden only by the bittorn and crane;
with waters gray with the haze of per-
petual twilight, vast, mysterious sol
itude. Such in part it is on the eastern
shore, but at Baku the Caspian conveys
no such idea Square-rigged ships
ride at anchor by scores; the port is
busy with wherries and sail-boats dart
ing hither and thither. and sharp,
heavily-sparred steamers of five hum
dred to one thousand tons are constant
ly entering and leaving the docks. The
only peculiarly that distinguishes
these ships from those of other seas is
the rig, which carried me back to my
boyhood. Two-top-sail schooners wi. }
very rakish masts abounded, thoroughly
piratical, and altogether like vessels
common elsewhere thirty-fve years ago,
but not longer in use except on the
Caspian. Brigantines, with small
topsail, and other obsolete rigs were
to be seen on this sea which has fab.
ions of its own; which has no relatiors
WITH any other sea; which is neither
fresh nor salt, AMI also enjoys the
freak of lying over one hundred feet
below the level Of tie ocean.-MIs-
haitian.

The Speakers Gayel.

1t has become customary, by courtesy,
for retiring Speaker to take with him
the gavel he has used, to keep as a relic
in his family; so a new one must be made
for each Speaker elected. The new one
made for the present Speaker has very
plain stout round hickory handle, about
ten inches long. Its mallet is stout
piece of ivory, about five inches in cir
conference, and on either end are two
blue circles. The first handle made for
this new gavel was fancy one of ebony,
with various projections and indenta-
tions, making it very weak in certain
places; so at the last moment new
handle had to be made, lest the new
Speaker should break the ebony one the
first time he used it with emphasis. He
is not man, however, given to acting
en- violent impulses or easily provoked to
anger on any occasion. Two of those,
however, whom he has within few
weeks called to take his place in the
chair have broken the strong handle of
the new gavel. Once the mallet-end few
off the handle and just missed striking
one of the clerks at the table in front of
the Speakers desk upon the head Such
blow from the heavy piece of ivory
would have been painful if not serious in
its effects. - Washinoton Letter.

An exchange speaks of "the leading

Mrs. Homespun, who has a terrible

There is luck in being the first baby.
In England, if of the male sex, it be-
comes the heir apparent, while in free
America it usually escapes more spank

MOltke'S Daily Life.

In Miss Helen Zimmern's account of
Count Won Moltke's life, published in
the Century, the daily routine of the Ger
man military leader is described as fol-
lows: Winter and summer, Moltke
enters his study at the stroke of Z A. NJ.
Here he drinks his morning coffee,
smokes cigar, and writes until the
stroke of 9, when his business letters are
brought to him, which he reads and dis
patches. He then exchanges his dress
ing gown for his uniform, and is ready
at 1 to receive his adjutants, to hear
their reports, and issue his orders.
While at work he partakes of simple
lunch, and when his adjutants are gone
resumes his writing until the stroke of
2, when the work is pushed aside. He
then receives the higher officers of the
staff and listens to their reports. This
ended, which may be longer or shorter
according to circumstances, Moltke goes
for a walk. 1t is no infrequent thing to
encounter him in the busy streets of Ber-
lin, peeping into the shop windows,
which appear to have an attraction for
him. At he takes frugal dinner
in company with his family, and the
hour of dinner is for them the happiest
of the day. Then the taciturn man be-
comes loquacious, and delights his hear
ers with his charming, cheerful talk.
From to he again deyotes him
self to writing; from to 8 the
newspapers are perused. At s he
once more rejoins his family at the tea
table, after which follows game OF
whist, in which the great strategst is
naturally proficient. The game over,
the evening is generally ended with
music, to which Moltke is devoted. At
eleven he retires to rest.

The Impossible.

Men cannot draw water from an ompty well,
Or trace the stories that gossips tell,
Or gather tho sounds of pesling bell.
Man never can stop the pillows roar,
Nor chain the winds till they blow no more,
Nor drive true love from maiden's door.
Men clnnot o'ertake a fleeing lie,
Change his wheat to a field Of rye,
Or call back years that have long gone by.
Man never can brbe old Father Time,
Gain the hight of peak that he cannot climb,
Or trust the hand that hath done crime.
Man cannot cruel word recall,
Ferter thought, be it great or small,
Or honey extract from drop ofgdl,
Man can never backward turn the tide,
Or count the stars that are scattered wide,
Or find in fool trusly guide.
Man cannot reap fruit from worthless seed
Rely for strength on the broken reed
Or gain heart he hath caused to bleed.
Man never can hope true peace to win,
Pleasure without and Joy within,
Living a thoughtless life of sin

EXPLORATION Of New Guinea.

ain connection with the Waltham
Watch Company, it may be stated that
when the proprietors of the Age desired
to present Mr.. G. E. Morrison (the
explorer of New Guinea) with re-
liable chronometer, acting upon the
advice of Mr. r. L. J. Ellery, the
Government Astronomer. two Walt
ham watches were. however, procdred
for Mr.. Morrison instead. These were
kept at the Melbourne Observatory
for fortnight, and thoroughly and
carefully tested, and were pronounced
by Mr.. Ellery, at the end of that time,
to be better suited for Mr.. Norrison's re-
quirements than any chronometer. =
