The Army Of the Potomac, encamped
around Washington during the winter
of 1S61-62, made itself very comfort
able as the days began to lengthen.
There was daily drilling, holiday games,
flag presentations. and Investigations
by congressional committees, but no
forward movement. The camps of
oyer 200 regiments presented TO the Wis
itor's eye a spectacle of perfect regu-
larity and exemplary n~eatness, while
the interior of the tents was invariably
well warmed and furnished with as
many comforts as the circumstances of
a state Of wal and the expectation of
hasty removal at no distant date would
allow. The men were also comfortably
clothed for the season, and seldom made
any complaints, even when inquired of
as to their wants. The wonderful mild
ness OF the weather had prevented any
suffering from cold, and the worst
storm was only a gale Of wind which
twisted and tore the Christmas green's,
with which some camps were profusely
decorated, till their arches, suns,
moons, stars, and notices looked as if the
witches had been holding saturnalia
among them. The ground was dry and
white as an Italian highway, yielding a
cloud of dust TO every passing furry of
wind. Each cooking place was fenced
in by q wall of loose stones, within
which stood the cook and his assistants,
gravely presiding over rows of seething
caldrons, which emitted teeming odors
not wholly %ungrateful to nostrils that
had been snuling the keen wind over
the hills for a few hours.

ldeorED Alfred Townsendl
When you consider how hard it Is to
save money out of 81, 200 a year, and
live in a city where is the high-priced
gas and the least opportunities for over
work in the land, and materials OF
all sorts so per cent. higher than in the
~neighboring town Of Baltimore, you sea
how few have saved anything here.
Besides, clerical life in Washington al
most compels marriage.
The departments are full of female
clerks often interesting. The girls OF
the town have no hopes OF
marriage except with govern
ment employees. Frequently a higher
refinement attends this life than under
the same income elsewhere, and this re-
finement and beauty lure on the young
amateur who had expected TO be a law
yer or an inventor, and he finds himself
with a family of children and no way to
turn but to the benignant government.
The exalted places under this govern
ment bring only about $50 a week sal
airy. The station Of dignity is worth
only -, 900 a year. The generality of
o~tticeholders who keep their heads up
have married property.
Hero and there is a lawyer in the
department who had saved some money
out Of an income Of 81, 900 a year before
he became a clerk at 81, 500. He mar
ries a former client, or a clients widow.
and brings to Washington enough
money to build a home, and the salary
may pay the bills. A number of the
positions in Washington are for life,
but there is resistance all the while TO
extending the number of life positions.

demonstrating Ia Egypt.

Miss Sartorius, in her book on the
soudan and Egypt. says; Every vii
lage has its pigeon houses, looking like
great mud cones, and in the evening the
owners go out aud call them in. But
when a man wants to get hold of extra
pigeons, instead OF calling them he
frightens pigeons away. They do not
understand this, keep eircling above,
and swoop down now and then toward
thrir houses. Other pigeons, seeing
this commotion, join them, and as soon
as the man sees there are enough Ia
hides The whole of the birds, old and
new, then go into the house, and the
man returning shuts them in. This
would be n fine business If it were not
that all Of them do the same thing, and,
therefore, each gets caught in his turn.
They know this perfectly we'll but nc
Egyptian fellah could resist thu tempta-
ton Of cheating his ~neighbor.

Druid Hill park now rejoices in a
baby camel. The new arrival is a 70.
male. The youngstsr, when standing,
is about four feet high, and is thick,y
covered with wooley hair of very dark
color, the hair on the head, legs and
hump being black. The large, black
eyes and long, goose-shaped head give
the animal a very comical appearance.
The legs are almost as long now as they
ever will be, and the hump is n Jolly
little a of fat that rolls about under
ones hand and trembles like n bowl of
jelly. Its mouth is as tender as
that of a newborn babe, and
the gums are soft pink. 1t spends
most Of its time lying down,
and when reused up and kept on its
feet it shuts its eyes and persists in dos
ing off again. 1t cries when hungry or
lonesome not unlike a human baby.

AS | was riding through Pittsburg one
day my attention was arrested by a re-
markable meteorological phenomenon.
Great flakes of jet-black snow were fall
ing so thickly as almost to obscure the
vision, and the storm had evidently
ragged several hours, as footprints on the
sidewalks indicated a depth of about
four inches. Every object on which my
wondering eye rested was covered by the
sable mantle, and the effect upon my
mind was extremely depressing. Strange
to relate, the storm seemed to be con
fined wholly to the city, all traces of it
vanishing as the train entered the sub
urbs, where the sun again became
visible.
So deeply was | impressed with the
phenomenon and the sudden transition
that, to make sure | had not been
dreaming, l questioned several fellow
passengers, and learned that they also
had witnessed the singular spectacle,

THE way in which the Russians have
pushed their advance in Central Asia has
caused the general mistrust entertained
by Great Britain regarding all Russian
assurances. The stealthy progress made
by Russia in Asia for the last fifty years
has ever been preceded bv official repre-
sensations that these advances were not
to take place. When Khiva was cap
tured by Gen. Kaufman in 1878, in
spite of solemn assurances that nothing
Of the kind was in contemplation. the
car declared that he had given him strict
orders to evaeuate the place Immediately.
but he afterwards acqnie>ced in the gcner-
ais representations that this was impos-
sible, as, if he did, the khanate would
become a prey to the wandering Turko-
mans. Similar assurances were given
subsequently, that Mcry was in no way
an object of Russian desire, but within
three or four years this TOO was seized on,
the reason being the turbulence and ag-
gressiveness of the Tekke Tmkomans,
who had their headquarters there. Merv
is within ten easy stnges of llerai, and
attainable from the Caspian by road for
nearly the whole distance through an in
habited country, where an abundant sup
ply of water exists, with rich pasturage
and a healthy climate. In fact. long he
fore Mery was occupied, the road to it
from the Caspian was carefully surveyed.
All this, with a good deal more, has pro-
duced in England a sort of passionate be-
lief in Russian pcrfdy, which komarof s

Robert Burns Wilson,
The bloom upon theb branch must die
Before the troe can bear;
IL Is the truth that wakes the sigh
And hope that brings despair.
The sun that paints the flower to-day
WIN fado the flower tomorrow;
tn longest joys will pass away
And end at last in sorrow.
II Is that thought informs the mind
That souls are filled with fear;
IL Is that nature IS unkind
That starts the bitter tear.
The passing air b. which we live
Still bears our breath away;
The hand which unto life doth give,
Prepares the bed OF clay.
Tho brighter beams the steady light,
The darker falls the shade;
The colors most divinely bright
Are still the first to fade.
IL Is because all ties must part
That farewell words are spoken;

By which the heart Is broken.
