On the voyage to Sidney two for seals were s on ab ut the ship. They were of a smaller amiss than that occurring in Ker- guelea's (1 They swam alongside with remarkalle case and rapidity, having in the water just the appearance of porpoises. The hind limbs were stretched outstraight behind as the animals swan , and the motion mostly maintained by rapid strokes of the fore limbs. The tail, however, i. 2., the fin~ like ex formed by the closely applied and outstretched flat hind flippers, was used With an undulating movement, just as is the tail flu in The sea: swam with case and rapidit from the stem to tho bows of the vesse , though it was going 45 knots at tho time, thus going 9 knots at least. In fact, they swam with all t 0 case of porpoises, and as once or twice they throw their heads and backs out of the water in a forward leap I shcu‘d certainly have mistaken them for these animals had 1 not scan them almost at rest several times, and with their heads well out of water. I never before realized the close connecu tion between the seals and whales, and MW easily a whale might be developed out of a seal. The fur seal is one which, on land, still bends his hind limbs forward, as do land mammals. The seals without external cars, like the elephants, carry the m habitually stretched blhind, as this one does in swimming. Little modification would be necessary in order to turn the otherwise useless hind limbs of the earless seals into the whalc's broad tail fin, which probably represents the remains of the seal’s webbed hind fli pers. “We afterwird, in the St nits of h agcllan, became familiar with the motions of fur seals in the water, and frequently sawthem there in shoals, progressing through the water by a series of leaps exactly like porpoises _or rook-hopp r p nguins.â€"â€"Clmllenger Notes.â€" Hourly. 0’ ALL SOBTS.

The many fairs that are being lcld in various sections of the country are doing much towards advancing a far more on- lightened ngriculture. We have alreain pointed out some of tho advantages to be gained byn careful study of tho exhibits, and the importance of inking an active part in those fairs. Another suggestion to the same end is here offered, which,if acted upon, will supplement tho work of the fairs and do much good to all progressive far- more. It is a duty of every farmer to visit yearly some of the best farms in the country, and there gather practical lessons in im- mced agriculture. There is no method of earning about any farm subject equal to bag“ on. tho farm where it is practised, .nd ring it explained by the one who has madeitasuccuas. It may be the way of feeding stock, or a plan of preserving roots. millage or other fodder. A farmer con- templates a system of undcrdrains for his wet fields, in this case it would in best go make! visit to some farmer who has thus drained his farm, and gain from him many valuable hints and suggestions in this im- t work. Such visits not only give new ideas, but are a wholesome recreation, and many a farmer who at the first thought may say, "I can not afford it!" will find by experience that lie spoken too soon.

CHAPTER V. The most peerless piece of earth, I think, That e'cr the min shone bright on. The London season never opened more brilliantly than in this auspicious year of which I writeâ€"a year that decided, not only my late, but the destiny of many dear to rue. Mrs. Erlecotc was anxious that the files and parties she intended to give should go off with enlat. Her beautiful mansion was almost refurnished ; it was the very home of luxurv Everything promised'wcll. The leaders y of fashion were all in town ; many good balls were on the tapis : above all, a brilliant opemticseason was announced. A young and charming prima IfOllIla was to make her debut in London. The rumors concerning her were numerous and varied ; the most popular of all was that she was an Italian princess in disguise, and sung simply from love of music. -Mrs. Erlecote had a good opera-box, and it was there I determined Lady Unrleon should first see her husband. She was so impulsive that, despite the strength of her resolutions, I dared not let her meet him in the room ; he would have betraverl herself. \Vehad ascertained that Lord Carleon was staying at his town residence, and Lady Douglas, the Court News told us, was with him. Many and anxious were the debates held between my aunt and myself on the sub- ject of Lady Carlson’s toilet for the opera on the eventful evening of Signora Verti’s debut. All the fashionable world were to be there, and I felt assured Lady Douglas would not be absent. \Ve decided at length upon the dress, and never before did I see Blanche look so enchanting. A robe of delicate rose-colored silk showed her exquisite figure to the utmost advantage ; the white shoulders and period: arms shone from its midst. She wore no ornaments save pearls; a small circlet lay in the thick, waving masses of hair, that crowned u queenly head ; a costly necklace encircled the fair round throat; costly white lace, artistically arranged, shrouded the beauti- ful tints of the dress; but her face drew all eyesâ€"it was so exquisite in the brin'nt, radiant flush of conscious beauty. er toilet was certainly prefection in its rich and elegant simplicity. She carried a bouquet of white camcllias, heath and. fern. My aunt,was fairly startled when Blanche appeared in her wondrous beauty. " My dear child,” she said “ how bright and hopeful you look l" We reached the house just as the opera begun. I knew how enrnptured Blanche would be. t was the first time she had ever been present at one, and with her passionate love of music and her love of the beautiful, I knew what an opera would be to her. She was bewildered at first by the glittering crowd of beautiful women. The costly toilets, the magnificent jewels, the lovely faces, all seemed to impress her wonderfully. Iwatched her closely. For the first ten minutes she was engrossed by all these. Then her attention became riv- ettcd on the stage. The opera selected for Signora Verti’s debut was “ Lucia di Lam- mcrmoor.” and just then Lucia, the ob- served of every eye, stood upon the stage. [saw the color flush in her beautiful elo- quent face; her sweet lips trembled as she listened to Lucia’s plaintive song. It scemcdasthough her heart was with the unhappy girl ; the bright tears shone in her glorious dark eyes as the sad sweet mel- o .y fell upon her ears. Little did Blanche rock of the many glances directed toward her, of the evident sensation she made by her wonderful beauty. The idea never entered her mind. I remarked it; I saw that she divided public attention with the young and gifted primu. douna. Nothing could have disturbed her, she was all eu- roescu. At length I began to look for Lord Carleou : my aunt had quietly shown me his box ; but to my great astonishment it wasompty. Presently, however, a very stately and haughty lady; whom I rightly surmised to be Lady ouglna, entered, followed by a tall, handsome man, with a melancholy faceâ€"l knew the blue eyes and chestnut curls. It was Allan, Lord Carleon. Nowm plot had be un in earnest. He looked care cssly rouudt a house, and then gave himselfin to the interest of the scene on thcstago. to was iutcruptedby Lady Douglas, who spoke to him, evidently direction his attention to some of their acquaintances ; there was a short couvcr- nation between the mother and son. He was looking at some lady who also appeared to engross much admiration. She was very fair and lovely, with a wonderful quantity of col-lei) hair. “ “'bo is that lady, hunt 2" I asked in a low voice, indicating the box. "That is the Princess Scholsky. Gab- riel d'la'ste," she replied, cautiously. I saw her then at length, the “ golden- haircd Gabriel." who had so unconsciou ly helped to darken the life of Blanche. She was lmautilul, but too coqucttish to suit my taste. There was something that 100k- edfalscin'her dauling face and bright smile. My Blanche as far surpassed her as a ucenly rose die: a white half-faded but. Lord Carlcou, after looking at her for some minutes without any sign of emotion. lcarelcssly round the house.

I told her where to look, and she raised her glass. For two or three minutes she gazed on him, and then, turning tome, said, “ Marian I am faint and ill. Let us go home." I looked anxiously at her pale uivering face, but I knew her strength of wi . “ The first shock is over," I said, gently. “ Try to battle on. Is that Lady Douglas with him '5" “ Yes,” was the quiet reply. In a few minutes Blanche looked better. ” “’ill you go or stay 2" I asked. “ I will stay,” she replied; “but the first look at him, Marian, unnerved me. He is just like the Allan Douglas in my pic- ture. He looks a little older, and very sad ; still, it is the same noble, open face." I saw Lord Carleon leave his box. Know- ing that he was well acquainted with Mrs. Erlecote, I thought it possible he might be coming to us. “ Blanche,” I said, “ collect all your energies. Remember how much depends upon your force of will. I believe Lord Carleon is coming to speak to my aunt. He will asked to be introduced to you. Can on bear the 0‘ deal ‘3" “ Yes,’ she ieplicd, bravely ; myself again." I was right in my conj.cture ; in another minute Lord Carlson was speaking to my aunt. After a few compliments, he said something in a low value, and then Mrs. Erlccote introduced us to him. ” I think, Miss Erlecote," he said to me with a smile that made him very handsome, “ I have seen you before 2" “ 1 once met your lordship at a flower show,” I replied. He looked inquirineg at Blanche, as though. he would ask whether she too claimed the name of Erlecote for my aunt, in her confusion at his sudden a~rival, had merely called us " her nieces." The beautiful face was turned shyly from him, the glorious eyes, full of tender- ness and love, were cost down, and the long, dark lashes rested on the flushed check. I had never seen Blanche look so lovely. Lord Carlson seemed enchanted. He tcok the vacant seat beside her, and be- gan speaking of the opera. Some remark elicited from Blanche a reply to the effect; that this was the first opera she had ever seen. His lordship looked astonished. My aunt interfered with a smile, saying that her niece had been brought up in the strictest seclusion. After some conversation, Blanche some- what recovered from her shy nervousness, and in reply to some compliment Lord Carlcon paid her she raised her eyes to his face, but that look nearly betrayed her. The wistful love, the aladness that shone in it, seemed to surprise him. If love at first sight exists, Lord Carleon felt it for the fair young girl, so near though so strange to him. He remained with us until the end of the opera, hanging upon each gay word that fell from her lips. I was enchanted with her ; she was so bright, so witty, and so animated. Lord Curleon did not leave us until he had asked permission to call in Hyde 'l‘errnsc on the followinu duv. He came, and'if hehad admired Blanche in her evening toilet. he'aecmed to admire her still more in the plain white morning dress. His callhvas one of great length, but he was unable to tear himself away. He asked her to sing, and she complied. I was proud of her then ; the rich musical voice, with its deep undertone of sadness, completed the conquest her bright face had begun. She sung for him her first favorite, “ The Land 0' the L021,” and there was a suspicious brightness in his blue eyes when she finished. " Thank you heartily,”\ he said. “ I shall hear that song all day and dream of it all night.” She blushed and smiled, Then Lord Carleon asked if we were going to Mrs. Stuart's ball ; and, on hearing that we intended doing so, he took his leave, trust- ing that evening to meet us. He was kind enough, to my great amusement, to include me; butI might have been at the North Pole for all the actual notice he gave me in Blanche’s presence. Mrs. Erlecote said that we should meet the Princess Scholsky at Mrs. Stuart’s, for they were intimate friends. “ Now I shall see," said Blanche to me, “ if he cares for her. If he does, I will re- turn to Inglcdow House, and give up all hope.” sly dear aunt wasted a wealth of energy again on Blanchc's toilet. She succeeded a men-(rifle. ()vera robe of white, gleaming satin Blanche wore rich lace, looped up with the tiniest rosebuds. Her beautiful head was wreathed with rosebuds, fasten- ed by a diamond spray. I could see that she felt nervous at actually meeting the “ Golden~haired Gabriel." . The hall was a splendid one. Blanche was acknowledged by all to be the belle. Lord Carleou joined us as soon as we en- tered the room. We were introduced to Lady Douglas, who was most gracious to the beautiful debutante. Lady Douglas introduced Blanche to the Princess Scholsky. I was reassured by her eful bow and calm unmoved face, for I ad feared Lafly Carlcon's meeting with her rival. They stood for some moments in conversation, and it would have been difficult to find two more beautiful women, or two more difl'erent. Blanche far sur- passed her rival : there was something regal and noble in her, far 0 sad to the hair, restless coquette. Lor leon join- ed them, aud I saw him looking steadfastly at the two faces, Then he offered Blanche his arm, and to my great delight he did not approach the " golden-haired Gabriel" again. Day by day the same thing continued. Lord Carleon seldom, if ever, omitted a morning call ; we met again in the park, and again either at the opera or some ball. There could be no doubt that he “as pas. siouatcly in love with his young wife. One thing amused inc : the more des- rately he was smitten with Blanche, the on he spoke to her, and the more be con- fided in me. One morning Blamhe was standing at some distance from us, talking to Mrs. l-lrlecotc. I was drawing, and Lord Car- leon made a pretext of examinatiug my production, that he might have the pleasure of talking about Blanehe. " “'hata beautiful profile your cousin has, Miss Erlecote," he said, with a deep si b. 8"She has indeed." I replied quietly]; “ but beauty is her least charm." e sighed again. “ You seem melancholy this morning. Lord Carlson," I said. “ I must plmdguilty," he said, "do you know there is something in your cousin's lace so familiar tome, vet I never can tell what itis. She is very accomplished, sings charmingly, and is very beautiful and wit: ." . Bi; lordship‘s theme had no mistion; it “ Iam and her wit. Decidedlydf ever man loved, Sompamunmsneeeuoam nearly over. At times the trial seemed al- most greater than Blanche could bear. “ Marian," she would say wistfully, " do you not think Allan ought to know who I am 2" “ Let us see what metal my lordiis made of," was in reply. ” Remember, that although he oves you, he believes he has a little wife secluded in Ingledow House. Let us see how he gets out of the diffi- culty.” My doubts were soon solved. One morn- ing, when Lady Carleon .de were together alone, he was announced. For the first time I then noticed how thin and pale he had grown ;:his face, looked years older, and his eyesdimmcd. I could not under stand his haggard look and great agitation until, in a broken, hoarse voice, he said, in reply to some remark I made, that he was goiu abroad. “ ‘oing abroad l" I said in stupefied amazement. “ Yes," he said abruptly. “ I have, anered too lon 2. I must so now." looked at Blanche, trembling. ” When are you going 2" I asked. . “ To-dayâ€"to-night," he said. “ I know not when. Miss Erlecote,” be con- tinued, “ I have a confession to make. Nay," he cried; as Blanche turned to quit the room, “ stay and hear me; it is for the last- time.” She returned at his'cntreaty, and sat nearhim. All the time he was speaking she held my hand tightly clasped in her own. He never lifted his eyes from her pale, beautiful face. “ I have a confession to make," said he; “ of the feeling that impels me to make it I dare not speak. I have been blind and mad, but: I shall have to under all my life for my folly. I have lived lately,” he said to Blanche, “ only in the light of your presence ; apart from you I have known no life. I forget the ties that bind me, which death only can break. My story is but a. short one. May I tell it to you in a few words? “My father was the late Sir Allan Douglas, of Douglas. He died when I was quite a child ;his title did not descend to me. He died, I was told in after years from grief at the loss of his estate. His last words were an injunction to me, his little, child, to try to redeem in. \Vith this one end and aim inplifc, my mother educated me. I was the only child of my parents. I had an uncle, one of the most influential men in En land, my mother's brother, Lord Carlson. VhenI can first remember him he was a. handsome mac, but exceedinvly proud. He brought; no wife to share his luxurious home, so We cencluded he had no thought of marrying, When I was twelve years of age, he adopted me as his heir. I was brought up in all the luxury im- aginable. He gratified my every wish and caprice. He loved me as though I had been his son. He often spoke to me of the time I should be Lord Cnrleou, but I noticed that he never replied when my mother spoke of the time when I should buyback the lands of the Douglas. “ When I was about twenty years of age chance threw me into the way of Gabriel d’Estc. She was then a beautiful young girl. Ifell desperately in love with her, â€"I say in love, but the feeling I had for the golden-haired coquetto was a. boy’s wild adoration. She hired me on, I cannot tell how, until I told her of my love. She gave me no reply ; she told meâ€"uh, how well I remember the wordsâ€"that I was a. foolish rash boy, but she smiled as sweetly and as falsely as ever. “ My uncle, Lord Corleon, was seized with a sudden and dangerous illness. My mother and myself were both sent for, and remained at Carleon House with him. One morning he seemed worse than usual, and after sitting up with him the greater 'por- tion of the night, I went into the drawing- room intending to rest there, To my in- tense surprise a young girl, accompanied by an elderly lady, sat there. As soon as I entered the room she ran up to me as though she had known me all her life. She clasped my hands 'in her ownâ€"poor little Blanche ! _ “ Amused at her friendly, affectionate manner, I asked who she was, _and heard, to my amazement, that she was Blanche Cnrleou, my uncle’s dnu hter. At the same time my mother joins us ; she had just heard from Lord Carleon the story of his rivate marriage. She felt the blow more keenly than I did. I am neither mercenary nor ambitious, and should have rejoiced at any than in my uncle’s happiness, but I did feel amazed that I ha 1. been so much do- ceived, that I had been brought up with hopes that were never to be realized. ” My uncle sent for us all to his bedside. I neverctire even in thought to dwell up- on that scene. He asked mo to marry his daughter, a child of sixteen, or rather more, and he asked it in such a manner that [could not refuse. We were married on the day he died, in his presence,â€"poor little Blanche 1" He sighed deeply, and then continued, ” If more time had been given me to re- floct, I would sooner have lost all share in my uncle's large fortune than have made if; mine at such a price; but whvu Lord Carlson asked me this last favor, which he said would soothe his dying hours, he told me that Gabriel, who had deceived me _so cruelly, was afiiauced, and that he had been a witness to her betrothal. I was so reck- less then, that I cared but little what he- came of me. “ Some few days after our marriage my mother, Lady Douglas, asked me tnjoiu her in the drawing-room,â€"she wished to s eak to me of several things. “'0 talk on business topics for half an hour or so ; and then, to my eternal regret, the conversation fell upon my little Blanche. II spoke un- kindly, bitterly, of the poor child, yet With- out fecling the full force of my words. I had, on the contrary, a liking for the friend- less child who had loved my portrait for so many years. Lady Douglas spoke hastily of the child's mother, when, to our great sorrow. she suddenly stood before us. She hall been sleeping in the room when we on- tered, and had so heard every 1 and bitter word. I was (dismayed. lanche had all the spirit of the (hrleous. She indignantly refused ever to see me again, and that same day she returned to the home her father had provided for her. I know now that she will never pardon me. I have tried every method ; my letttrs are return- ed unopened ; nothin isof any avail. “ I met you. Miss rlecote." he resumed, taming to Blanche, whose beautiful face chaa coloras he spoke,â€"-“ and pardon me i I say that, to my sorrow. I have learn- ed the maning of the word ' love.’ I must love you. I will goabroad, and try to school my heart. I may sacrifice my life. but not my honor.

'rnu END. oâ€"‘->â€"i*â€"â€"-â€"- The Massacre by tho Rhonda. A correspondent at Sumbhulpore rupplies an Indian paper with some further details respecting the recent massacre of Kulfas by the Klionds. He says : 0n the 15th of July last a meeting was held at Bulwaspur, which was attended by a large number of the lead- ing Khonds. They determined to massacre the Kultas of Kalahundi, for whom tlfly have conceived a strong agrarian hatred and jealou~y. They swore loyalty to this pur- pose, nu'd kissed the “ tangi" or axe in token of their resolve. The execution of this pur- pose was committed to the various repre- sentatives, that each might carry it out in his own neighborhood. The result was that about one hundred Kultas were murdered. Many more would have perished but for the prompt measures ndbpfacd to disperse the armed bands of Khonds, and rescue the cap turcd Kultas. In the village of Kalamagan twenty Kultas were murdered. The cir- cumstances of this massacre have lately formed the subject of enquiry by Colonel \Vard, the additional commissioner, and are of considerable interest as showing the character of the recent rising. On the 19th of May news reached Kalamngnu of the murder of Iehwar Gaoutiyah of Asargarb, an account of which was given in the Pioneer of the 17th inst. ; and the Iiultas were filled with alarm, and prepared to flee. They found, however, that they were surrounded by armed Khonds chiefly belonging to their own and the nei hboring villages. They were captured an huddled together in a. house in the village, which was wall guarded all that night. Besides placing a strong uard on the house all night, the leading bonds present also promised that, thong the Kultas might be robbed, their lives' would be spared. Next morning the mini. ber of Khonds had largely increased. The number of Kulta prisoners, including women and children, was about 40. Early on the morning of the 20th May the leading Khonds came in and demanded the surrender of all the ropcrty the Kultas had. \thu this had been given up the Khonds prepared to remove their prisoners from the house. The latter, who were now convinced that their lives would be taken, tried to hide them- selves where they could. But one after the other they were pulled from their hiding- p‘accs and hurried outside. Here they found hundreds of Khouds collected, armed With axes, and bows and arrows. The wretched prisoners fell at the feet of the leading Khouds and begged them to spare their lives, but they were told that none of the men among them would be spared. In the confusion one or two men succeeded in makingan escape to the hills; and their story has now been told before Colonel \Vard. The women were spared, and most of the children. The harrowing details of what followed have been f urnishcd toColonel \Vard by the bereaved women, as well as by several of the murderers themselves. Twenty Kullas were murdered in cold bIood. Use old Kulta, who had at a little Out of the thickest of the con usion, was discovered by some of the Khonds. [Is came toward the foremost of them in an attitude of abject supplication, holding grass in his mouth as a token of do tion. The fierce Khond cut off the ol man's head with one blow of his axe, and fillel a small vessel he carried with the blood. Another picked up the head, but a leader called out tohim, " Why carry about a head without hair! There will be no scalpiug of him.“ And he threw - the useless trophy away. Khonds from the various vil were represented, were allow to select victimgaud when the Khultas had been thus distributed they were led away in dif- ferent directions to be murdered where their captors might choose. -â€"-â€"â€"‘”4-W’â€""~ All will rejoice, ,except the mere dogs of m, if hostilities base on the defeat of Arabi at Tel-echbir.

Scott then went to his dressing- room, and jmmcdiately sent a message to one of Weber’s intimate companions, who came and took him away.
