Prop 're, The Shadow that Came Between. It is morning at - Lucerne. Breathless under the sorching rays of a summer Run lies the fair lake—pride of four cantons. From its shores begins the proceSsion of the bills ; dripping, new-born, they spring from the water ; higher and higher, psalc on peak they Ilse, dim, shadowy, unreal, until at last—oh, heavenly hills I —clennsed from all stain of earth, clothed each in spotless white, they gain the skies. The wide quay is almost deserted at this early hour. A Few tourists, about to take the first boat, stroll along beneath the trees, or leaning over the low parapet, throw hits of stick or stones, or it may be stray crumbs, Into the water, where it is 11111N,,W ilk tiny darting fishes. A straggling company of women Winds slowly down from early mass at the two spired church above. 'They bear dull, barn faces under the scant ?ticks of hided hair in winch cotton strings are braided. Their coarse woolen petticoats Show the shapeless, clatter ing shoes beneath ; the short sleeves of the cotton chemise—kept in place by the high Need bodice—display bare arms that have no trace of beauty, and tiring no thought of wo. manly charms. Last in the procession creeps an old woman, mumbling to herself. The others were coarsely chid ; she is barely cov ered. They were ugly enough, without a suggestion of grace ; she is hideous. Bent nearly double, she sees only the rough pavings under the stumbling feet. Dear heart ! she would - not know were a golden crown held just before her eyes, so dins they seem to be. Nothing could he more w rinkled and fleshless than her skin, as though it . had crawled in horror someday and forgotten to grow smooth again.

Over all the blessed Lady of the Fountain smiled down, stretching out benignant hands. Ile turned away. He had parted with friends that day, and this little scene of home ly life brought a dragging pain akin to home sickness. "Even the clown clinging to that horse's mane has had a friendly word," he thought bitterly. Within the room all was still. The tall gray houses shut out the sky ; the waning light stint in the gloom—the silence and darkness that oppressed him to. night—that clung about his neck with heavy arms and weighed him down. Suddenly—with the faint warning of a sweeping robe, a light foot fall—a ripple of music came from the next room as a hand swept the keys of a piano,, and then a voice— or was it his own heart that seemed . to throb in tile air I Did that cry—passionate, thrill-. 1 ing—come front the depths of his oWn soul ? It ceased. Ile sprang up. The echo lin gered like the scent of lost flowers. His hand was upon the dam. Only that panel tit wood ; what—who—was beyond ? Then he remembered himself, and turned away ; but the room was dark and silent no longer. He scanned every face as he passed down the length of the mile a manger, when the hour for table d hale arrived. He was late. There was hut one empty chair besides his own, across n o m his seat, and partly hidden by the. high pot of 'attificial flowers that adorned the tab'e: With a quick, silent trim Lion a woman crone down the room and filled the vacant place, and as quickly the man who billowed stood behind her chair. The face was brown, too brown for a woman; the hair—a heavy mass, half hiding the forehead --was brit wipalso, and lusterless. A. certain squareness of the chin and lower jaw oddly contradicted the full lips, upon which was laid the one bit of color in the whole face. The eyes—full and slightly oblique—were lowered. Whatever charm they held was theirs by right ; there was no trickery of heavy, sweep ing lashes. She raised them suddenly. The woman was a beauty ! There was no self- I consciousness in Cite glance, though It had drawn blood. Carrington's face was scarlet when lie dropped his eyes.

The path, too, is tangled with briers, that while they pierce give out vela pleasant odor, and they look like flowers.

She pulled at the green leaves idly, or swept away the tiles that swarmed about the head of the beast she rode. " Monsieur travels for pleasure, perhaps." " Yes and to see the world.

" You need not hold the bridle now, guide; the path Is wide ; there is no precipice.' " It will soon be narrow again," interposed Carrington, "and these mules are hard-mouth ed.

"No one tines that." . Oh, yes, even the women in you land I With us it is so different." Again she shook her head and seemed lost in thought. "Why, they married me when I was only a child I" she went on suddenly, almost fiercely. The drooping, languid eyes opened wide and full, the brown cheeks warmed, and the red lips ior an instant were a single scarlet line over the ciose•shut teeth. She drew a long breath like a sigh. But I forget; pardon, monsieur." "Madame is afraid to trust a stranger." The woman turned and looked down upon Monsieur has a good face," she said,quite simply. "And do you think"—Catrington grew suddenly hold—" that two people must know each other years before they dare be friends?" "Oh, no, no. They made the Marquis de Croisy and me the greatest friends; they gave me to be his wife, and I had never seen him until that day !" A shiver passed over her. "The Marquis de Croisy I" Carrington heard only that name. " Yes, monsieur—my huSband." "Aim you were his wife?" "There—monsieur knows?"

" But one forgets after a time, they say. To live and always remember would kill, would it not, monsieur tt Alt yes, it would Indeed," Cal rlngton re plied gently. "And you have heard nothing more ?" " Of Henri ? No ; never anything more." Again the look of terror stole over her face, and attain she wrapped the shawl more closely around her, as though she were cold. They reached Lauterbrunnen. The Marquis de Crotsy's carriage and a female . servant awaited them. She offered Carrington a seat, Rad they returned to Interlaken together.

Certainly it was a pleasant val. Icy to Carrington. He sat by the open window one morning, sipping his scalding chocolate. It was yet an hour to the time when he was to meet Madame in the salon. There was a charming ruin Just out of the village, where they were to spend the day. His guide-book and straw hat, wreathed with a veil, were thrown upon a chair near by. lie looked at his watch. There .are hours with rusty, broken locks which re fuse to open to the crowding joys that wait beyond. This was one. He sipped his choco late, yawned, looked again at his watch, read the opening sentence descriptive of the charm: ing ruin in kis guide-book. It seemed to have been written In a lost language. Ile threw the book down, and stretched himself out upon the wide window-sill. Down below was the car riage drive to the side-door of the hotel ; over the way the blank eyes of another houso,taking In everythingand giving out nothing In return, save the dim length of a vacant room.

BOSTON, Mass., May 22.—General Butler appeared before the Legislative Committee on Federal Relations, and read a letter, mak ing a twenty-four-page pamphlet, which he had addressed to his son-in-law,Senator Ames, of Mississippi, In which he elaborately re views and generally condemns the treaty of Washington. Mr. Butler first criticises the settlement of the fishery question, krt which he says: " Out of the four hundred thousand barrels of macke rel caught between Cape May or the thirty ninth parallel and the northern extent of their limit by our fishermen, only some 80,000 bar rens were taken last year east of Maine in all waters, British or other. In frankness it should he stated that owing tunic annoyances our fishermen have suffered, and from other special causes, that catch was smaller than usual, but it may be safely put at an average not much exceeding 80,000 barrels. "During the reciprocity treaty, and since its abrogation, when flitting under full British li• cense, our &berm= took something less than one•fifttt their catch within the three-mile line, so that the amount of the concession by the present treaty to us is the right of Great Britain to 5,000 barrels of mackerel when swimming in the sea within three miles of her shores. Now, as fishing is only about al5 per cent, business, or, in other words, as 85 per cent, of the value of fish taken consists in the use of capital employed, labor expended in taking, curing, packing, and preparing for market, it will be seen how inconsiderable is the right actually attempted to be ceded to us by the present treaty. Its extent' is, in fact, when reduced to money value, from $5,000 to $7,000 annually only." In this connection the General continues : " I see it stated, in what purports to be the protocol to the treaty, that the American commissioners opened the negotiations with an offer to pay $1,000,000 in gold for this right, or $OO,OOO annually for all time for the right which' Nova Scotia of fered to sell and did sell for $7,000 a year. ,Where our commissioners got their extraordi nary valuations it is difficult to conjecture. "It is not wonderful that the English com missioners thought they hail something too valuable to dispose of when Yankees would offer a million dollars for the right to begin with. As the Englishmen had ulterior objects to he gained, they.would put nd money value upon the fisheries, as they intended to force open our ports by a 3 means." Further, General Butler says ; " It cost the British government $BOO,OOO to guard the right of a value of $7,001' per annum,which amount will be saved by the ratification of the treaty to the Imperial Government and its adjuncts. We are, by the provisions of the treaty, in ex- change to permit for this $7,000 a.l British fishermen to fish in all our waters for all kind's of fish except shell fish and river fish, and to laud on our shores to cure their fish and dry their nets from the 41111 to the 30th parallel,or from Eastport to the Delaware Bay." The opening of our ports to British fish free of duty and competition with British bounty . of 10 francs, and other features %f the treaty, the General believes will substatztially ruin our fishing interests. n concluding this review of the fishery ques tient, General Butler says : " Igneve,therefore, that so complete nn abandonment of American fishing interests should have been made by our commissioners, and I trust the Senate will . not ratify this portion or the treaty unless there shall be found another portion sufficient ly countervailing the advantages, so we can afford this great loss. It is expressly stated in the protocol, however, that the fishery ques- lions were considered by themselves." The remainder of Mr. Butler's letter is de voted to the settlement for the depredations on American commerce, the navigation of the St. LawrenCe, and other matters embraced in the treaty, all of which he criticises In no ap proving spirit. • A MANIAC'S FREAK AT SEA.—The Wil mington, N. C., Star has the following : The English brig Excel, commanded by Captain George Davies, from Cardiff, loaded with rail road Iron, was reported at Big Island shoals, about fifteen miles down the river, this niter- noon. A report having reached this city in advance of the vessel that a difficulty had occurred 4 hoard between the captain and first-mate, Mr. Alex. bprunt, the British Vice Consul at this port, despatched Dr. Vinants, the port physi cian, together with others, to see if any medi cal assistance was needed and to ascertain the particulars - of the affair. We learn that the mate, Mr. Hubbard, makes the following statement : On the after ' noon of the Bth inst., IN hile he was sitting aft, making a mat, the vessel being Men at sea, Captain Davies came up to him suddenly, picked up a knife which was lying by his side, seized him by the hair , of his head and drew the knife across his throat, giving hint a severe wound. The wounded man then threw up his hands to prevent a repetition of the blow with the knife, when he received several severe cuts on his fingers. It is also stated, as we are informed by per sons who heard the matter discussed on the vessel, that the Captain, after he had accom plished what he could with the knife, deliber ately jumped over the stern of the brig Into the sea, but that a rope being thrown to him, he seized it, and was hauled safely on board, still holding the weapon firmly in his hand. His actions led to the belief that Captain Da vies was laboring under a fit of temporary in sanity. Tue. contarst between the stubborn exclu siveness of the Chinese and the liberal encour agements given to civilization, as we teach it, by the Japanese, exactly Indicates the in tellectual difference between those races. While China, content with the attainments of a thousand yenta ago, expands its strength in barring the door to foreign Intercourse, Japan is opening her ports, granting fran chises and stimulating commerce ; the China men who come to title country, come only to amass the little wealth necessary to die on comfortably in the " flowery kingdom," while the Jape, as we have learned to call them, are crossing the Pacific in numbers to attend our schools and colleges and take back the more precious stores of wisdom.

Whittier in June Atlantic THE EARL ITDAYS OE DELSAILTE. The autumn of 1829 found him a shabby, almost ragged applicant for employment at the stage•door of the Opera Comique. Repeatedly rebuffs failed to bailie his desperate pertina city. One day the director, hearing-of theannoy ones to which his subordinates were subject ed by Delsaac, determined to abate the nuis ance by one of those cruel coupe•de main of which Frenchmen are pre•eminontly capable. Tho next night, during the performtince. when Misrule called, ho was, to his surprise and delight, shown into the great man's pres ence. " Well, sir, what do you want ?" " Pardon, Monsieur. I came to seek a place at your theatre." " There is but one vacant, and you don't seem capable of filling that. I want only a call boy." " Sir, I am prepared to fill the position of a premier sujet among your singers." " Imbecile!" " Monsieur, it my clothes are poor, my art is genuine." "Nell, sir, if you will sing for me, I will hear you shortly." He left Delsarte alone, overjoyed at having e'cured the manager's ear. In a few mo ments a surly fellow told him ho was wanted below, and he soon found himself with the manager upon the stage behind the green cur tain. " You are to sing here," said the director. "There is your piano. In one moment the curtain will be rung up. lam tired of your importunities. 1 give you one chance to show the stuff you're made of. If you dis• card this opportunity, the next time you show your face at my door you shall be arrested and Imprisoned as a vagrant." The indignation excited In DeWitt° by this 'cruel trick instantly gave way before the re flection that success was a matter of life and death with him, and that perhaps his last chance lay within his grasp. He forgot his rags ; every nerve becathe iron ; 'and when the curtain was rung up, a beggar with the bearing of a prince advanced to the foot lights, was received wills derisive laughter by some, wills glances of surprise and indig nation by others, and, with a sad and patient smile on his countenance, gracefully saluted the liFilliant audience. The courtliness of his manner disarmed hostility ; but when he sat down to the piano, ran his fingers over the keys. and sang a few bars, the exquisite voice found its way to every heart. With every moment his voice became more power ful. Each gradation of emotion was rendered with an ease, an art, an expression, that made every heartstring vibrate. Then lie suddenly stopped, bowed, and retired. , The !tense rang with bravos. The dress.cirele forgot its reticence, and joined In the tumult of ap plause. Ito was recalled. This time he sang a grand lyric composition with the full vol ume of his voice, aided in effect by those im perial gtistures of which he Lad already dis covered the secret. The audience were elec trified. They declared that Talma was resus citated . But when lie was a second time re called his tragic mood had melted, there were "tears In his voice",as well as on his cheeks. After the fall .of the curtain, the director grasped Isis hand, loaded him with compli ments, and offered him an engagement for a year at a salary of tell thousand francs. He went home to occupy Isis wretched attic for the last time, and, falling on his knees, poured forth his soul in prayer.—Allaisfir No, [lily. 11motnvEtt he goes, on whatever errant bent, Horace Oreely is sure to leave his . pecu liar mark, which ho makes alike with his mind and his pen. The telegraph has already in formed us of the points of hjs recent New Or leans speech, and of the good impression which it appeared to exert upon his auditors. The Pycayune of that city now gives us an other illustration of the remarkable Influence of the philosopher of the illegible chirography over the dwellers in the Crescent City. ••It says : _ "The hotel register in the St. Charles hf proving an object of more than usual attrac tion. Since the visit of Horace Greely it is almost constantly scrutinized by considerable numbers of the curiously iodised, who, it ap pearsi take a special pleasure in examining the sign manual of our late visitor. There is, 'however, in our opinion, little thatmay be considered approaching the extraordinarily queer in his signature. Ills Christian—or rather his pagan—name, Horace, is written so plainly that even a school-boy would find no difficulty in deciphering it. The sirname, Greely, Is somewhat puzz lag. At the first glance it appears to read 'Erelley.' At closer Inspection, however, the bold strokes of the veteran journalist can, with the aid of some guessing, be joined together so as to leave no doubt as to the Identity of the name. It is a characteristic signature—characteristic of the man, who, above many others, deserves to he classed among the self-made men of our age." Well, we are glad to know that the good people of New Orleans succeeded in decipher. ing the cabalistic signature. Mr. Greely went South with the firm intention of understand ding and being understood. Hence, we sup pose, the extreme carefulness with which he wrote his name as well as uttered his opinions. But the Picayune is perfectly cor rect In calling it "a characteristic signature." Except for the extra pains which ho evidently Wok with it,out of respect to his entertainers, It would have been as unintelligible as the Congressional Democratic Address or a Speech from Frank Blair.
