PORTRAIT OF 4 LADY.

Paint me your perfect lady. I have seen
Some part, perhaps the whole, Of what ! mean
Yet in artculate feature to declare
The form that haunts my thought divinely fair
May well outrange my skill but thy request
Strikes all denial dumb. Here. take my best.
No noise thou hear ST, no preparation blows
A trumpet where my perfect lady goes:
Nor with rude tramp she beats the hollow
ground
Nor minccs nicely. nor with girish bound
Trips the light sod a woman, not q fairy,
Upon an earthly base firm poises her airy
Conscience rests. No haunting broad display
OF rustling hounces marks her gentle way
But like the breeZes Of the light-winged May,
Softly she courses, and fragrant all as they
Oh she is lovely all the summer dWoIlS
In her bright eyes. and every feature tells

That beats like music through the lucid skin;
And when she speaks soft silyery accents flow
Full-thrOated from q mellow depth below.
Not clcpt in shreGs, nor With tnkling din,
A shallow piaSh from hollow heart within.
Not bold is she to place herself before
The first. nor sinks demure behind the door;
But takes her p ace just where she ought to be
Nor makes you feel when there that it is she.
With native grace, and fine mtut0red mien,
She greets the poor, or stands before queen;
Sweeps with light, floating ease the festSl floor
Or bends Ter sick beds with the suffering poor
She hath 10 postures, knows no attitudes,
Her uuschooled gestures gently shows he.

ELEPHANT KILLING.-United States Con-
sui Cheney, of Zanzibar, states that the
principal export from there to the United
States is ivory. 1t is brought down to the
coast by caravans from central Africa, and
is shipped over to Zanzibar in dhows. The
past year 174, 900 pounds of ivory were e1-
ported to the United States and to Eng
land, India and other places 326, 600 pounds
the total of half million pounds being
valued at 81, 100000, or s. pound. Owing
to the constant killing of elephants the sup
ply is fast diminishing, and the price is
increasing every year With the recent
greatly increased facilities of transportation
and commercial transactions, the caravans
find ready market for their ivory, and the
temptation TO slaughter the elephants for
their ivory is great. II is probable that the
time is not far distant when the race of ele
plants. like that of the mastodons, will be-
come extinct. The improved implements
tor killing them, and the outfits of the
merchants who deal in ivory being more
complete, the elephants are more readily
slaughtered than formerly.

Alleged ReIlca Of the Savior.

I was present on Whit Monday at q reli-
giOus ceremony Of a very remarkable kind,
which is celebrated every year in the parish
church OF Argenteuil, small town upon
the banks Of The Seine, just outside Paris
For ten days every year, from Ascension
Day to Whit Monday, casket, containing
one OF the supposed fragments Of The robe
OF tunic worn by our Lord Just before His
cruCiiiyion, Is carried in procession along
the aisle of the church, and the congrega-
ton are afterward admitted TO view it in the
vestry. Many Of your readers viii doubt
less be aware that what IS said to be the ex-
terror robe worn by our Lord is preserved
in the Church Of Treyes in Germany, bat
that at Argenteuil is alleged to be the in
ner garment which The Savior wore, and
for which the Roman soldiers cast lots. The
holy tunic is inclosed within q double
shrine, and is only exhibited in its entirety
at rare intervals, az it is placed under seal
by the Bishop of the diocese (Versailles),
who alone has authority, under the Pope,
to break them. Thirty years ago the
seals were broken by the then Bishop, as
the late Pope had expressed . wish to

fragments were cut out Of ii and placed in

seals affixed in 1854 began to crumble away
about three years ago, and they were re
newed by the Bishop Of Versailles Just
before the Whitsun festival, among those
present being the parish priest of Argen-
teuil, who tells me that the holy tGnic is
made Of camels hair, being dark brown in
color and very much like the garment
which the Arabs of the present day wear
next the skin. He adds that it was exam
ined through microscope, and that all who
were present unanimously agreed that they
could detect no stains but traces which they
are convinced are blood. Beyond remark
ing that there is no inherent impossibilitv
in cameps,hair garment being preserved
for eighteen centuries, / do not feel called
upon to express any opinion as to the
authenticity of this relic, which how
ever, is venerated as such by all Catholics,
and believed by them to have been the
means Of affecting many miraculous cures,
among others those of the oldest son of
Lord Clifford, the Marquis Harcourt and
the Comte de Damas, who was for many
years a companion OF Comte dc Chambord.

THE AGE OF NIAGARA FALLs.-Mr Bake
well, an eminent English geologist, gave
personal attention TO the problem as early
as 1880, and, from everything he could
learn at that time, estimated that the falls
had receded about hundred and twenty
feet in the forty years preceding. He re-

firned in the belief that the apex of the
horseshoe fall was receding, on an average
three feet year. On the other hand, Sir
Charles Lycll, upon his first visit, in
1871, conceived" (upon what basis he
does not tell us) that at the utmost, the
| rate could not be more than one foot q
year, which would give US thirty-five
thousand years as the minimum time.
But, as it appears, the result of the recent
survey is to confirm the estimate of Mr..
Blackwell, thus bringing the period down
to about seven thousand years.-[Science.
