A Gypsy Band from Russia.

One result Of Lord Randolph's visit to Rus
sia, may be the advent in this country of the
famous gypsy band which is known by the
name Of its leader and conductor, N;kolai
Shishkin. This Bohemian band has long been
one OF the chief musical sensations Of the St
Petersburg season, and Lord Randolph had
several chances of hearing it play during his
visit. He first heard it at the HI ench ambas-
sador's ball, and was SO struck by the unique
character Of both performers and music that
his curiosity was aroused. He sought and
gained an introduction to Nikolai Shishkin
himself, and took subsequently the greatest
interest in him and his band. The most curl
Gus feature of this gypsy band is the presence
in it of a number Of female gypsies, some OF
whom are typical beauties. The more hand
some Of these musical gypsy damsels make
excellent marriages.-London Figaro.

the horrors Of war. The bullet is of a brittle
substance, breaking directly when it comes in

action of the heart continues, is not to he dis

Disappearance of an Island.

According to the official newspaper OF the
Farye islands, the rock island OF Munken,
south of Sumbo, has sunk ont of sight. In a
word one Of the most striking objects in the
Farve group, which has been sailed past and
admired by thousands of people and played
an important part in geographical literature,
has disappeared. 1t once stood seventy feet
above the level of the sea, but the rock
gradually erumbled away so that the tide
washed over its surface. The shallow waters
around the island formed dangerous currents,
with eddies, or maelstroms, which were much
dreaded by mariners.

FAITHS VISTA.

When from the vaulted wonder Of the sky
The curtain OF the light is drawn aside.
And behold the stars in all their wide
Significance and glorious mystery,
Assured that those more distant orbs are suns
Round which innumerable worlds revolve,-
My faith grows strong, my day born doubts dis
solve,
And death, that dread annulment which life shuns,
Or fain would shun, becomes to life the way,
The thoroughfare to greater worlds on high,
The bridge from star to star. Seek how we may,
There is no other road across the sky;
And looking up, hear star voices say:
"You could not reach us II you did not die'
