CAPE CSHELNT. A BALLAD. Our ship, the stout Bellerophon, • Off Rochefort Harbor lay; We took a passenger on board, And slowly sailed away. Seven days and nights with baffling winds, ;We strove to fetch Tor Bay. The eighth day, with the rising Bun, A morning in July, French land upon our starboard bow, We plainly could descry. When I, a little middy, (It's fifty years ago) Came up to take my watch on deck, Into the early glow. Biagnificently rose the sun Above the hills of France, And spread his splendor on the sea, And through the sky's expanse. Meanwhile upon the poop, alone, Our passenger §tood there, And viewed the gently gliding land In clearest morning air,— The cliffs of IJshant, and the slopes Of shadowy Finisterre. 4 'Ushant?" he asked,—and I replied, . "Yes, Sire." Whereon he raised Ens little pocket-telescope, And gazed, and ever gazed. For hours and hours he hardly moved; And if his eyes grew dim, We never saw it; there he stood, . And none went near to him. Till with a faint and fickle wind We drew from' off the Coast, And in a noontide haze of heat France faded and, was lost. Napoleon's thoughts in that last look It were but vain to seek; Enough he had to think upon, If he had gazed a week.. And sometimes from his rock, perhaps, He saw, amid the shine Of lonely waves, Cape Ushant's ghost Upon the dim sea-line, (William Allingham, in the Argosy [This anecdote is given in Memoirs of an Aristocrat, by a Midshipman of the Bel lerophon.] XXXIXTH CONGRESS-FIRST SESSION [CLOSE OF YESTERDAY'S PROCEEDINGS.] SENATE.—The morning hour having ex pired the Poatoffice Appropriation bill was taken up, the pending question being on Mr. Trumbull's amendment in regard to the appointing power. After a speech by Mr. Howard (Mich.), arguing that President Johnson's policy was not that of Mr. Lincoln, and one by Cowan in reply, The question was taken up on the follow ing amendment: That no person exercising or performing or undertaking to exercise or perform any duties of any office which, by law, is required to be filled by the advice and consent of the Senate, shall, before con firmation, receive any compensation for his services unless commissioned by the Presi dent to fill a vacancy occasioned by the death, resignation, or expiration of term, during the recess of the Senate, and since its last adjournment. The vote was as fol lows: YEas—Messrs. Anthony, Chandler, Clark, Haines, Henderson, Howard, Howe, Lane (Ind.), Morrill, Nye, Pomeroy, Ramsey, Sprague, Sumner, Trumbull and Wade -16. NAYS—Messrs. Buckalew, Cowan, Davis, Dixon, Doolittle, Edmunds, Fessenden, Foster, Guthrie, Johnson, Lane (Kansas),. McDougall, Morgan, Nesmith, Norton, Po land, Riddle, Saulsbury, Sherman, Stewart, Van Winkle, Willey and Wilson-23. ABSENT OR NOTNOTING—MO39II4.Brown, Conness, Cragin, Cresswell, Grimes, Hen dricks, Kirkwood, Williams, Wright and Yates. So the amendment was disagreed to. The bill was then passed, and the Senate, at 41P. M. went into Executive session, and soon after adjourned. THE CHICAGO TELESCOPE.—The Chicago Tribune describes the new telescope pub chased for the observatory in that city. The lens is eighteen and a half inches in diame ter, so accurately formed as that a ray of light striking every point on its surface is accurately refracted through a length of twenty-three feet to meet at the same focal point. The Tribune adds: "We saw the telescope a The, days ago turned upon Sirius in broad daylight. The outlined form was clear,. distinct, broken only by a slight tremor, dire to an atmospheric ,wave. In this fact we have a sample of the powers of the instrument. Sirius and his companion are so near together (apparently) that the angle between them is but about ten seconds of arc, a value so small that its tangent is but .00004848135 when the radius is one; or, in other words, placing the apex of the - angle in the eye,- at the distance of a mile Cie side would- have receded from each other but a small fraction over three inches, and but about the one-hundredth part of an inch at the distance of six yards. Yet it is known to astronomers that the two are not necessarily related. The 'companion': may be, and probably is, millions and billions miles more distant than Siritts;and the rays of light from the two so nearly coinci 'dent solely in consequence of accidental position- nearly in, the prolongationlof the line joining their centres." . - UssFut.Hurrs.-r-A foreign correspondent of the Boston Advertiser gives the following hints of -general application for. American , travelers in Europe : In addressing letters they must -remember that the initials U. S., • and even the name United States, are not everywhere as familiar or as significant as with us at home. In French or Italian the abbreviation would be E U. or S. If., _neither of which, nor U. S., is likely to be un derstood by --a foreign post-office clerk. It is best, therefore, to assume in these matters the grand national name which all the world accords ns; a letter addressed "American - Consul," will often find its destination when "U. E Conatil" would stick by the way. And min addressing letters, posted in Europe for home, "America," plainly written, • should form a part of the address, in we , ference to two or three initials. perhaps not very legible at best. Anybody who is too modest to say "America, may use the full phrase, "United States of America." To the rise of abbreviations in the address of sending letters home, and to appending 4 !Esq." to the neines of persons abroad for whom letters are sent from home—which eansesawonderfall collection in the pigeon holes of foreign post 7 offices, under the - • - name =of -x-s-Q.—may be attributed_ the larger part of miscarriages of letters of which American travelers complain. The Eiaropein post-offices are generally care fnliy.managed. Lpramox MICHIGAZT.—As an illustra tion of the amount •of ltiMbering done in 'Michigan It is said that Tittabawassee river, ranging from seven to.ten rods in width, is filled with logs for ten miles; Chippewa river, from six to nine rods wide, is tilled for seven miles;' and Pine river, ranging • *from five to seven rods in width, is filled for eleven miles. And these streams water only a small portion of the State. • WHEAT IN MictimiGiii.—The Detroit Tri bune, after a thorough investigation of the conditioner wheat hi,. that State, is com pelled to conclude that the aggrepte crori_ for 1866mi1l fall below- the -average yield of BOARD OF TRAUB.
