The Australian LYre-Bird.

We were just in the middle of Tramp, tramp" when long. clear whistle, with crack like a pistol shot at the end, stopped us short. Sit ting down on the roadside we listened, and soon the whistle began again; then followed the most exquisite mimicry of many of the sOngsters of the wood, varied by sounds resembling the clear tones of a distant bell, the rattle of a rickety wagon, raspings and gratlngs that made the cold chills run down ones back, whispers, moans, cries and laughter. I clearly distinguished the coarse laugh of the giant king fisher, the cooing of the dove, tho call of the black and white shike, the song of the rusty backed thrush, the scream of the hawk, and the hoarse screech- ing of the cockatoo. Sometimes the song, with volume like large organ was loud and sv eet, and it seemed as if the musicians must be within 8 stones throw, then again 1t died away to the faintest whisper. There was a

A FURIOUS FLOOD.
Destruction in the Little Kanawha Valley

Destruction in the Little Kanawha Valley
 Lives Lost at Norristown, ". Va.
 PARKERsBURG, w. Va, July 20 The greatest disaster which has ever hefallen the little Kanawha valley came Thursday night in the shape of terrible cloudburst which completely flooded the country, de- Stroying many lives, carrying off thou sands of dollars in property and running crops for miles.
 The deluge fell here about dusk and con. tinued to fall in torrents, doing much damage in the city. The worst of the storm struck the lower side of the Kan. awhs, filing the small tr obituaries from bank 10 bank and ending in the worst flood in the recollection of the oldest in- habitants. In three hours the Kanawha rose six feet and ran out with such veloc- ity that it carried every thing before it.
 At this point thousands of logs and 9 number of boats went out or were sunk, and Mrs. Isaac Tucker, Martin Law less and an unknown man were drowned.
 Above the destruction was still greater Big Tygart valley is ruined. A big mil near its mouth went out and took Tygart bridge with it. Fences and crops and much live stock were lost.
 At Esterville, fifteen miles above half c dozen residences were carried off bodily and left in corn fields.
 In Clay the fine church and three dwell ings were wrecked. Several steamers ou the river were wrecked.
 The worst story of all comes from Nor. rlstown, small village near ths head ol Hacker creek, N here the cloudburst con. centrated, coming down about midnight and totally destroying it with many of it's people. The first report fixed the loss at eleven. but later news seems to fix the loss at a greater number Houses are said to have been picked up and hurled against each other in such short space of time that no chance of escape was given the people. Among those dead at Norrstown are Jake Niger, his brothers Joseph and Thomas, n man named Bailey, Orrville West and child.
 At Pill Brush all the bridges and cul- verts are washed away and it is impos- sible to reach or communicate with that point or any other upon the upper waters. 1t is impossible now 10 enumerate the loss even here, as the river is still rising. A family boat containing three or four per- sons went out during the night and it is believed all are lost.

THE WINTER PALACE.
Russia's Most Celebrated Structure fro
 m Artistic Point of View.

Russians Most Celebrated Structure from
 an Artistic Point of View.
 The initiative of the Russians in art and in civilization is limited. Hitherto they have displayed greater aptitude for copying than for original concep- ton, and even for their copies they have had recourse to Western artists, particularly to Italian architects like Quarenghi Rossi and Count Rastrelli The last is responsible both for the outside and the inside of the Winter Palace. This enormous structure was begun in 1732, finished in 1762, partly burned in 1887, but re- built in 1889 from the original drawings. It is broad rectangular block, four stories or about 80 feet high, with frontage 455 feet in length and breadth of $50 feet, one facade parallel with the Neva, another look ing toward the Admiralty the third facing the vast Alexander Palace, and the fourth (blind) facade backing up to the adjoining Hermitage Place, with which it communicates by means of a covered bridge. The proportions of this palace are not commendable; the style of architecture is very bom- bastic rococo; the decoration is over charged with statues, caryatides, hower-pots, grenades, and trumpery accessories; the cheap stucco sur face of its facades - mercilessly broken up by pilasters, water spouts, and windows. so that the eye nowhere finds repose is washed with brownish red terra-cotta color picked out with lighter tone of yell low The iron roof is painted red. The outside of this palace is abso- lutely without charm or merit Of any kind; it's only claim to notice is it's immensity, which, blythe way, accord ing to Russian notions, is a very con siderable claim. The interior is a saddening example Of the bad taste which seems co characterize crowned heads oi all nations, whether tho Rus sian Czar, the Turkish Sultan, the

Our ! pen absolutely refuses to describe the sham splendor of the imperial apart ments, with their modern French polished furniture and vile wood carving, their massive screens glazed with purple glass, their wall-hangings of yellow and white, or rose and green satin The malachite room. the Pompeiian room, the Mau- resque bath-room, likewise failed to transport us with admira- l ton. The corner that pleased us best was Peter the Greats throne room, whose walls were hung with soft red velvet embroidered with golden eagles. The St George's Hall, d parallelogram, 40 feet by 60 feet, adorned with Corinthian columns of real white marble with gilt basis and capitals. is also fine room, perhaps the finest in the whole palace. The White Hall, the Golden Hall, and the Nicholas Hall are chillingly white show rooms, which require the anima- tion of the court ceremonies and balls and the glitter of lights aud diamonds in order to give them a picturesque interest. Finally we may notice the state entrance to the palace from the Neva Quay, called the Ambassadors Stairs, of white Carrara marble, and the vestibule, richly decorated and gilded with Renaissance ornaments and statuary. The staircase and the St. Georges Hall are the only two parts of the Winter Palace that present an aspect Of real grandeur and majesty. Theodore Child, in Harper's Magazine.
