NEW ZEALAND.
4 tIc.Dcscrlption of Its Beauties and
Resources.


New Zealand has the very e%Ntraordi-
nary property of causing all who have
once set foot on her shores to pass be-
meath the indcscribable spell of her
witchcry. never met any one who,
having tasted life in his new island
home, would consent to change his
abode. Switzerland has loftier peaks
and fairer towns; Tyrol may boast
prettier outlines; Scotland has her class
sic heather and her brown hillSides;
Norway, historic memories that linger
in her winding iords; but having ga2ed
at and fancied myself in love with each
of these sirens in turn, | am ever drawn
back to my ideal beauty, New Zealand.
Nature does not often play the prodigal;
to New Zealand She has given all
her charms, and keeps them fresh
and i]mperiously beautiful Us Cleo
patra's. In no other country
has she set down towering mountains
beside profound iords, and backed the
scene by dense forests sloping down on
the other side of the range into fertile
pastures. In no other spot does she
find so dcft a tiring-woman as in the eli
mate of New Zealand, who loves to ex-
hibit her mistress in an atmosphere of
blue relieved by Il carpet Of brownish
green. | am quite aware that this col
location of colors ought to sound hid
eous and repulsiye in the last degree,
but | am certain that those who, like
the author Of "lIrewhon,' have lived in
New Zealand till they have learned to
catch the spirit o. her scenery, will bear
me out that the effect is passing beauti-
full. Then, was there ever "A land of
streams so crystal pure, which challenge
you to count every pebble that lies be-
meath their arrowy current? And is
there not an ~uuspeakable charm in find
INC ones self among a sea of snow or of
Handicapped peaks, many unnamed,
and most untrodden by man?-Pryt

IA Woman's Corpse.
A bed of straw was spread close by
the bank, and the corpse laid upon it.
The body was wrapped from head to
foot in a red cotton rag. Then more
straw was piled upon the body and a
very little wood upon that, after which
one of the relatives touched u lighted
match to the straw, The mourners sat
down upon their heels in a group to
windward of the pile, and chatted So
cially while they watched it burn. The
wind was strong, and it burned t%icrcely
for about three minutes, and then very
moderately for about ten more, by the
end of which time the fuel was all con.
sumed. Then the mourners arose, dip.
ped water from The river and drowned
out the fire; the corpse lay there almost
intact, and we all saw that it was a
woman. The limbs were drawn up
and the face coutorted, the hair was
burned away, and the entire remains
We're black and hideous, yet only the
skin and hair were burned. Presently
one mourner put a stout stick under the
neck, another put another stick under
the hips, and at the word the 'arcass
was tumbled over the edge Of the bank,
and fell into the water with q loud
splash. few yards further down it re-
appeared at the surface for u moment;

CHOICE OF OCCUPATION.

Young People Should Select Callinns to
Whici, They Are Adapted by Nature.
What growing boys and Girls, and
grown-up men and women, greatly
need, as III essential part of their So
cial education, is a proper estimate of
the real dignity Of all useful labor.
Society is too much dominated bv an
artificial standard, which aliNes an eY-
aggerated value to certain forms of
activity, VIII lie it undulv depreciatcs
others. BOYS and girls, men and
women, are daily turning to this
or that pursuit, not because they have
any special qualifications for it, nor
because there is any crying demand
for workers in that sphere, but be-
cause other people attribute a de-
gree OF honor to that kind of ac-
tjvity which they deny to GER
tain other kinds. instrinsically
no less honorable. Such a choice in
wolves a very grave error, 1t is Il good
deal worthler of u mar to be an elf
clent clerk than an inefficient Cabinet
MInlster-a competent barber than an
incompetent accountant. 1t IS a hun
dred fold better for society and for
ones self that one should be a trust-
worthy farm laborer than an untrust-
worthy physician. 1t is a poor guide
to right choosing. to ask ourselves:
What is the employment which will
bring us most credit among ourfellow-
menP There is more helpfulncss in
those three quest ns, which. after all.
are but variations of one question:

Mr.. Ellis offered several amendments in
creasirg the appropriations for the repair
etc, Of fOrtifcations, but they were seyerally
rejected. Mr.. Els then moved to strike out
the entire clause, az being useless and waste
of public money, which 10 otion was also re-
jected.
On mosion Of Mr.. Reed, the paragraphs
were stricken out which prescribe the calibre
of the guns to be manufactured and the man
Ger in which they shall be tested.
The committee then rose and reported she
bill to the House, and 1t was passed. This Is
the last OF the apprOpria tlOn bills.
Mr.. Forney. Of Alabama, submitted the
conference report of the army appropriation
bill and Il was agreed to. The only point OF
dlnerence between the two ohuses was the
Senate amendment striking Out the clause
permitting courts martial to hold their ses-
sion at such hours as they see fie. The House
receoes from Its disagreement and the clause
Mr.. Blackburn, at 6:I0, moved that the
House take 4 recess until u O'Clock to-mor-
row for the transaction of business other than
contested election cases.
Mr.. Turner objected, and, as tbs latter part
OF the motion needed unanimous consent, 1t
was not received.
Mr.. blackburn moved to suspend the rules
and adopt the motion Indicated, pending
which Mr.. Bennett, of North Carolina, called
up the North Carolina contested case, in
yolvIng the right of Bennett TO seat, pend
ing which Mr.. Hammond moved adjourn
ment, which was carried at GAO p. m, and
the House adjourned until Monday.
THE POSSIBILITY OF AN EXTRA SESSION.
The possibility of an extra session is again
the subject of comment among Congressman.
The Senate Committee on Appropriations has
before it as M 1ch work for the next three and
a half days, including Sunday, as 1t would
undertake to perform in as many weeks If the
session were a long one. The members of the
committee express the hope that they will be
able to present the remaining bills to the
Senate in time for action, but to do so will
require them to work night and day. Two of
the remaining bills-the general deficiency
and the sundry civil-are measures of infinite
detail, and their careful scrutiny at best by
subcommittee is held to be an imperative
duty. Committee meetings will be in pro-
gress all day tomorrow and every night,
perhaps all night, until final adjournment.

LONDON, Feb. 2S-The Paris CORE
spondent of the London Standard has teIe-
graphed an interview he has had with
James Stephens, eX-Head Centre of the

eral leading delegates to that congress.
and he said they were all, in his opinion.
determined men, who were acting for the
object Of liberating Ireland from English
control. One of these delegates, Stephens
affirmed, had shown the deep sincerity Of
his patriotism by abandoning life of ease
and surrendering the lucrative practice
OF noble profession for the purpose OF so
freeing himself from selfish pursuits as to
be able to devote all his time and energies
TO the cause of Ireland.
Stephens in this interview also SAYS
that he has successfully labored to in
duce several OF the delegates to the dyna-
mite congress to suspend their dynamite
operations for the present and until the
meeting OF another cOnclaYe, which he is
arranging to convene in Paris in the near
future. At this meeting Stephens has
promised to eXpOund a new plan for an
DiSdhiIeu uprising III 1TeldhU against
England. In addition to the statements
made by Stephens to the Standards cor
respondent, the latter states that another

THE BRITISH LOSSES.
The SMiss Anarnhists

BERNE, Feb. 2S.-The 90 Anarchists
who were arrested here yesterday, have
been charged with conspiracy to blow up
the Federal palace with dynamite. The
government is believed to nave strong evil
dence against the prisoners, which will
convict many, if not all, of them.
The Anarchists so far arrested are Rus
slams and Germans. 1t has been aseer-
tained that the conspiratOrs intended to
start conflagration in the Lorraine quar-
ter of the city, and during the ensuing
confusion attack the Federal palace. The
authorities, it is stated. succeeded in
pressing so closely one of the conspiratOrs
who was under suspicion that he finally
surrendered and confessed the whole plot
TO which he and his colleagues had COM
mitted themselves. Besides % Anarchists
arrested in the canton of Berne Yesterday
in connection with this plot, there were
J arrested in Zurich, in st. Gall and ) in
Bienne.
