servants In India.

(From Westminster GaZette.)
Domestic servants are now only obtained
with the greatest difficulty. Clubs and
hotels are alike in a sorry state, and it
is more than likely that many Of them will
have to be soon shut. A meeting held
by the servants of the Bombay club deci-
ded in favor Of flight. One old man only
stood up and said: II have been all my
life i'll the club and / will not leave it
now" He is the only old servant now re-
naming.
At the Yacht club, with the exception
of the barmen, porters, etc, who are
highly salaried, there are only two old SER
wants remaining. Members sitting in the
billiard room have TO take turns of going

All the Goanese servants at Watson's ho-

with the head waiter there yesterday. He

years, but if l die here there is no one to
mourn me. In Goa Il is hard TO get work

rice; but il is better there than here

Placed in the highest office that friends,

is conscious that of the millions of votes
once given him. ne could hardly get pail
bearers west of the Mississippi river.
He has broken up his party and made his
country the subject of rid.cule wherever
civilization has a foot-hold-
Bereft of patriotism, he viewed the insults
to his country, and the oppression of his
countrymen with indifference. Bereft OF
gratitude, he used his friends as ''woin-ou:
shoes" treat ted his cabinet associates as
the ventrilcquial figures Of q punch and
Judy" show, and dwarfed manhood, intel
lect and independence to mere shadow.
His cabinet had either TO suffer public hu-
initiation or dismissal The only bright
spot in his administration is from a rebel
general, who remembered that he was a
man before he was sent TO Cuba. Cubans,
till time shall be no more, will venerate
the name of Lee, and eXecrate the name
Of The Stuffed Prophet of 'Bill' street

his likeness wreathed in flowers and en-
blems, the other will be burned in effigy.

Some have said he ought to die; others,
that ne should be killed; others, that he
should be banished. This, and all this. pro-
ceeds from impulse, passion and hate; not
from reason. He must not die. He must
live, an hundred years; live when his
friends Gf any are gone; live alone; live
until he feels that he can say even as
Benedict Arnold said to Talleyrand in
France:
'I can honestly say that, in all Amer

fish, tried to save it's prize by instant
Hight, but was out-maneuvered by the
rapid zigzag attacks of the vigilant rob
Der and forced to drop it's fish.
The latter" says the eye witness, was
about eight inches in length, and had been
seized by the depredator in a manner in
convenient to swallow. 1t therefore
mounted about 100 yards, let the fish fall
and caught it again, but then not salts
factorily, and again dropped it, reclaim
ing it, however, before it had fallen many
yards, when he at last managed to catch
it conveniently, head foremost, and gulp-
ed 1t down. After thus beating both the
tern and the law of gravity, the winged
buccaneer wheeled about and darted off in
the direction of it's rookery in the cliffs
of an island beyond the mist-screen of
the distant horizon.
Mother Carey's chickens, the nimble
little petrels, may often be seen gathering
food in the spray of a rising tide, without
ever getting drenched by the booming
breakers No matter how suddenly the
waves splash over the beach, the little
petrol skips out of their ways and with
the same facility the frigate-bird could
keep ahead of a hurricane advancing at
a speed of eighty miles an hour. Balloons
Of the primitive pattern would perish in
a gale of that sort, unless they could rise
above it and drift with ordinary air cur
rents, like a sailing vessel scudding be-
fore a moderate breeze. Flying machines
in the modern sense, /. e., light airships,
with electric fan motors. can make about
forty miles an hour, and with the aid of
a favorable wind would sail from st. Louis
to the Rocky Mountains in a day. but in
the same time a frigate-bird could prob
ably cross the Pacific Ocean.
And IT will be a long time before our
transatlantic ferryboats learn to beat
such ocean racers as the grampus or the
still more marvellous coryphene, a preda-
tory fish of the scomber species, that
hunts in shoals and overtakes even flying
gurnards, by leaping completely out of
the water and then skimming the surface
again like a spear torpedo or a harpoon
from a swivel gun Capt. Basil Hall, in
deed, compares their speed to that of a
cannon ball. and sailors who have seen
them play around a ship, swift as rock
cts and glittering in all colors of the
rainbow have transferred to them the
attributes and even the name of the Med
iterranean dolphin.
