Po, Panltis, my friend, thou art plighted, Pm told,
And thy lady la gentle, und chute as the Illy.
1 remember thy ideal, Paulue, of old—
Acruature afair, with no blood in ber veins.
All crowned by tho Graces, but cursed not with
brains.
And fair as a statue—at fair, and aa chilly.
Aa onallko then were our dreama and desires
As our lives are to-day. In my Sybarite fashion,
I pictured a creature all fancies and Ares—
Like the rose, all abloom—like the sun, fall «(

A rare, royal woman, quick-witted but eweeL
With a heart lull of love, and a pulse full of
passion.
Ah. Paulnsl who knows what his fate is to bet
While I dreamed of my lady, and longed to behold
her,
1 met on on the shores of a murmuring sea
A maid, like tbe sunlight and moonlight in ono—
Awhile-lidded, palllu-browcd, beautiful nun,
And like garments the mists seemed to wrap and
enfold her.
I looked and I loved, Bat she told off her beads,
And dropped her lids low over eyes of dusk glory.
But sliamo on a lover whom coldness or creeds
Cun frighten or hlnderl X knew no defeat—
-1 followed and found her. sad knoll si uer reel,
And aim still told her beads while 1 told the old
■lory.
I wooed and 1 won her, or dreamed 1 bad won.
bbo pledged mo ber vows whoa my passion was

But, I'auhis, ray lady, my beautiful non,
Was but Circe disguised. On (bo beads that she
told
With tbu look of some devotee, famous of old,
buu but counted the hearts aba had played with
and broken.
1 woe ouo of a legion—bat one, and no mora I
AU. Puulus! «e grow up ue brothers together:
But Fato wrecked my berk ere U pushed from tbe

While thine, richly freighted, tails light o’er tbs

What a fanciful creature Damo Fato seema to be I
Tbou art boused from tbe storm—i am thrown on

Yes. ye»—to forget her I know la the way;

Thy chaste one—ibis Circe—tbe plight of my life!

A nun tells ber beads, likes fair devotee.

WAUKESHA.
No Rain—The Village Crowded-Camping
Out—Dropping Into I’oetrjr—Midsummer.
Special Cnrrfipondentt of Tk* Tribune.
Wadkbsba, Wls., Aug. 1.— M I» It going to
ralnt 1 ’ Is the question each evening as the
clouds roll up from the weal, the distant thun
der rumbles, and pale flashes of lightning play
along the horizon; bat each morning’s sun
shines In a clear sky, the leaves upon tbo trees
grow more gray, and tho grass la still ashes be
neath our foot. Tbo elements aro evidently In
a rut, and will not get out of It without a shock.
Just here, as If protesting against any 111-na
tured thing we were about to say, the strong
west wind rustled the leaves of a magazine ly
ing on the window-sill, struggled with them a
little, then turned and held them open, that wo
might read this one paragraph In one of Mr.
John Burroughs’ charming essays:
I suppose there Is some compensation In a
drouth; Nature doubtless proOtsbjrlt in some
way. It Is a good time to thin out her garden, and
giro the law of the survival of the fittest a chance
to come Into play. How the big trees and big
plants <!o rob the little ones! Tnero Is not drink
enough to go around, ami the strongest will have
what there Is. it Is a rest to vegetation, too,—a'
kind of torrid winter, tbst Is followed by a fresh
awakening. Every tree and plant learns a lesson
from It.—Teams to shoot Its roots oown deep Into
the perennial supplies of moisture and life.
Wo accept the rebuke, and give thanks with
the farmers, who are glad of (ha long dry days
and dewless nights for tbe Ingathering of the
harvest,—a harvest, alas I that does not carry
out the fair promise ot tho early spring. Much
of the wheat was blasted during the few very
hot days, and now stauds erect and still, with
out tho modest droop that shows a full head.
Occasionally a field docs not pay for the cut
ting. Between the rain that soaked Ihe hay,
tho heat that scorched the grain, and tho fluc
tuations In the markets, farmers In lawn and
Wisconsin have some excuse for feeling blue.
Some one asked lately why the Waukesha ar
rivals were not telegraphed to the city papers
and published. To bo truthful, but trite, they
are
TOO NUMEROUS TO MENTION,
and Include people from, all sections of the
country, and of all stations In life, from tlio
unparuoned cx-Conledcrato olllccr to the ad*
venturer from the Arizona aflTcr-mtnca.
A census-inker would bo puzzled to get at
the population of the villose at present. 'Hie
hotels arc filled, and nearly every house has ono
or more guests. A Chicago gentleman who had
searched the paper. In vain for some account of
Waukesha 1 * popularity, and concluded that
there was little doing hero this season, and that
there must be plcotv of room, came leisurely
up here on Saturday night, and apeut an hour
or two in begging from door to door the privi
lege of a lodging.
however, that need not often occur, for
strangers are leaving the hotels os well as arriv
ing, and village-people can open their doors
still wider. It will not do to turn visitors away;
the town Is too hospitable, as well as too pol
itic, to kill the bird that lavs the golden egg.
Just now, as the prospect of an epidemic of
yellow-fever In New Orleans Is driving the peo
ple Northward, thcru la an Influx of strangers
from the Crescent City. The “Captain,” who
presides at the Post-Olllce, and who ought to
know, says that. If they could bo accommodat
ed, there would be C,OOO here to-day. It Is
pleasant to mod faces crown familiar through
several successive seasons, and to know that
they like to come here again and again.
One can have his choice between gaycty and
quiet. At the hotels there Is considerable life,
and hops every few evenings. But the Invalids,
and those who coma here for rest, spend the
time In sleep, sitting under the trees that
abound in every door-yard, strolling to tho
springs, driving about, and In taking frequent
trips to tho lakes.
A party of young people—comprising the
families of Messrs. Street and Kendrick and
others—have been having a lino time for tho
last ten days, camping out at I’owaukce Lake.
Carriage-load oftcr carriage-load have been out
from tho village, taking along their own chick
cn-ple and Ice-cream, and having a kind of
donation-party at tho camp. Wo were gravely
assured by those who went out Hunday Hint
they spent tho entire time In reading the Blblo
ana kinging Moodr and Bankov hymns 1
DUOPPINO INTO POBTIIT.
A lady who refused an Invitation to a fishing
party, tho other day, put her regrets in this
form:
Alas I slast I cannot go
To Join your pleasant party,
In riding to Powaakee Lake,
Where Ashes are to hearty.
The sun Is warm, the dust Is thick,
My head Is (all of aching;
So riding flvo miles in the sun
Would bo my wits forsaking.
I know voaMI miss my pleasant ways,
My •prlghilluers so charming;
Tho Ashes, too, will miss mv halt,
And thank mo for not harming
Them lying In their watery bed.
Where they keep op their sailing,
And wish, perhaps, some other folk
Had ouo or more of oiling.
Out I must stop ere my machine
Has broken all to pieces.
Or von will reckon mo among
The many hundred geesos
Who throng along those pleasant streets,
A-rirlnkitutof spring-waters:
go plrnso to nut ms always head
Of hoary Wisdom's daughters.
From "the fishes” she received the follow
log reply:
Wo missed yonr pleasant face, my dear,
And so did all tbs Ashes.
And take Ibis motuod, while out here,
To scad you uur best wishes.
A catfish gave a mournful mew.
And said, “Aina! bow drearyl
We'd rather have Mlsa K. than yon—
She la so bright and cheery. ”
A eunflsb rose from out eclinse,
And said. **Ab, friend*! where itb the?
I 'J greet her with my lisping lips,
The tils tho bright sod witty.”
And thus they send their brief regrets
To show bow much they mlsa you;
Pur well they know they are your pets.
And would bo elad to k)«s you.

With folded bands and dreamful eyes, I lay

THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE
though, unfortunately. It cannot be told In full
to ear* polite. But it goes that. In his eager
ne»s to show the fallacies of Civil Service, Mr.
Blaine has lately been delving among Washing
ton archives of the period of tho first President,
frrparing to prove that the great and good
Icorge was as hot a partisan as either Andrew
Jackson or Andrew Johnson. How far he has
accumulated evidence to establish thin os a fact
he docs not for the prescot announce, but he
docs tell that ho has found evidence In
the form of a letter of one of Washington's
aides, which Indicates that the Revolutionary
lender was not tho dignified and sedate
person we fanev him to have been. We all know
that he swore at Monmouth, but Mr. Blaine has
discovered further that Washington cracked
jokes while making the passage of the Delaware
on that memorable December night before
Trenton was fought. Instead of standing erect,
calm, and Impressive In the boat which bore his
fortunes and that of the army, as we are ac
customed to see him pictured, it appears from
Mr. Blaine's latest discoveries that Washington
sat at tho stern holding on to the sides of the
boat with both bands, all the while cracking
Jokes with an ald-dc*camp. And the only brill
iant one of all tho jokes which he uttered on
the occasion Is omitted In the telling by Mr.
Blaine, because of Its—immodesty! Between
the two—Mr. Blaine and fits Iconoclastic Gail—lt
would seem that no one of the historical Idols
Is to be left standing and Inviolate.
INCOMPATIBILITY.
A Queer Cane of Conjugal Difficulties.
Special Corrttpondenc* of The Tribun*.
PiTTsntinG, Aug. I.—A peculiar case ot mari
tal Incompatibility has Just reached the IMUs
burg courts and gossips. About six years ago
Prof. Horace Wadbam Nlcboll wooed and won
the altecUons of a widow-lady of the mature
ago of 00-odcl years,—ho being Jooly 40. She
was librarian, and be organist, ot St. Paul’s Ca
thedral. it appears that they lived happily to
gether until quite recently; at least the public
knows nothing to tho contrary. About a month
ago, trouble entered the household of this
strangely-mated pair; tbo Professor’s love for
his aged wife, now nearly 70 years of age, sud
denly changed to a feeling of aversion, and ho
set about devising wars and means whereby the
bonds which united him to his “ belter half ”
might bo dissolved.
The story of Prof. Horace Wodham Nicholas
courtship and marriage, as told by blmsclt to
tho Commissioners appointed by the Court to
take testimony In the case, Is, In brief, as fol
lows: Hu was 40, she over 60 years of age. Ho
was organist at St. Paul’s, and she librarian.
Ho was Introduced to her by a mutual friend.
She bad the appearance of a well-preserved,
handsome woman ot 80 or thereabouts. Sho
was vivacious and Interesting In conversation.
She loved books and music; so did be.
in snort, their feelings and opinions
ran parallel In almost everything:
and he. being In search of a wife, after a brief
courtship "popped the question,” and In due
course became the husband of the charming
widow. Now comes tho interesting part of the
narrative. The Professor solemnly avers that
his charmer, by the liberal use of cosmetics,
balr-dycs, and other anpllanccs (or counteract
ing tho ravages of time, deceived him as to her
nge and physical condition; that tits object in
marrying was to perpetuate his name and fame;
that, alter veare of waiting, ho had grown heart
sick and dispirited; and that nothing but tho
legal severance of his matrimonial bonds
could compensate him for the miseries of his
married experience.* He Incidentally states in
his complaint that his wife, In tbo greatness ot
her heart, with a desire to mitigate bis torment,
agreed that ho might follow the example of
Abraham In tbe case of Hagor, and, If possible,
bring an Ishmacl Into tho household; but he
spurned tho suggestion, and maintained his
tidcllty to his marriage-vows.
"The woman In tho caso ” Is of good charac
ter and fair social standing. Sho Is older nod
wiser than her discontented lord. She makes
no defense, except to deny that she em
ployed artifice to captaro the affections
of tho buoyant Professor. She has discharged
her wifely duties to the best of her ability, and
has the respect of ber neighbors.
Persons conversant with the case declare that
the Professor bud a worldly motive In marrying
her. She had a good position at the Cathedral,
and was on good terms with the leading mem
bers. Nlcholl was organist, but bad only a
slight acquaintance with the wealthy portion of
tho congregation. Thinking to make himself
"solid” with those, who were friends of tho
widow, he married her. This was the view taken
by Bishop Tuigg, who, ns soon as the facts
reached him, discharged Nlcboll from his posi
tion as organist.
Prof. Nlclioll has quite a reputation as a mu
sician ami composer, lie wrote a symphony for
Theodore Thomas a few years ago. which had
the good fortune to be adversely criticised. He
is of slight build, dresses slovenly, wears his
hair and beard In the stylo affected by the most
advanced Spiritualists, has wild, restless eyes,
and wears glasses. Ho Is a comical-looking fel
low, but Is considered a good musician, lie Is
now organist at the Third Presbyterian Church.
Judge Collier has the cate under advisement.
GILHOIIE’S BAND BROKEN.
Not Popular with Parisians Who Uavo Deen
Enjoying Hotter Music.
AVte Tort Hun, July 00.
The disasters that attended Gilmore's Band
In tho early part of tho season have culminated
at last accounts In Us total disbandment. Sev
eral of tho members have written homo fur
money to pay their return transportation, and
some of them, It is said, will havo to depend
upon the charity of the United Stales Minister
to Paris. In England tho band met with a
fair degree of success, its concerts at the Alex
andra Palace and elsewhere being attended by
paying audiences. In the provinces there was
a notable falling off, which was made up. how
ever. to a certain extent by the proceeds of their
Dublin concerts. On the Continent the enter
prise appears to havo broken down completely,
the baud only giving two or three concerts in
Paris, and none In Germany or Belgium. In
Paris their arrival was barely noticed by the
press, and tbolr concert at the Trocadcro and
picnic in the Buis do Boulogne were only silmly
attended. To add to their troubles, their ad
vertising agent, Mr. Grurc, who had been sent
ahead to arrange for ibcir reception in Ger
many, fulled to turn up. Mr. Oraro had with
him at tho time some U,OOO francs of the band’s
money. At lost accounts a part of the troupe
had gone back lo England, while others re
mained In Paris waiting to hear from home.
Among the latter Is Mr. Kiedorlck Bent, cornet
olavcr, and brother of Benjamin C. Bent, Mr.
Bent took with him several hundred dollars In
addition lo passage-money, but was compelled
to write to New York for lurtber remittances.
Many of the players, it Is said, received no sal
ary whatever, and the discontent and demorali
sation following have hod no small shore in tho
general break-up. Charges of bad manage
ment, ole., on tho part of the band authorities,
are nfo In musical circles, although Mr. Gil
more's friends sav that bo warned the men be
forehand that on the moment o! leaving tho
pier they must depend on their own resources.
There were sixty members of the band ail told.
Each was expected to take with him fSU) In
rash and to provide himself with a new uniform.
The band sailed In Juno last In the City of Ber
lin, the leader narrowly cscaulug detention.
A gentleman welt known lo musical circles,
who nos returned from Purls within the last
fortnight, gives the following explanation
of thucauscs which led to the failure: "When
the band first appeared .In Palis tho people
laughed at It on account of tu extraordinary
uniform. The men wore red and blue coats and
trousers, but they had no sldeurms and no
shakos, and the Parisians could not understand
u military baud without these. They
lunched at the small caps that tho Americans
wore, and said that thov looked mure like serv
ants orjjockcys than anything else. Ihe French
found fault because the band allowed a lady to
sing at tbetr concerts. They said It wasn't
ethiuettefor a lady vocalist to appear on the
platform with a brass baud. They ridiculed and
made fun ol the troupe lu all sorts of wavs,
and although the American Consul-General and
others got them up a picnic in the Bols de Bou
logne, It was no use. Thu material mat Gil
more hod along with him was good enough fur
Boston or Albany, or for a popular concert In
New York, but It was nothing at the Exhibition.
Why. there were military bauds giving free
concerts in every park in Paris that beat the
Americans out and out. There was the splen
did orchestra of 130 pieces from the Theatre of
Lu Hcalu at Milan. They drew immense
throngs, and vet although the municipal au
thorities of Milan gave them 00,000 franca to
help defray their expenses, they have made a
losing season of It. This orchestra was under
the command of the celebrated maestro, Fran
co Facclo. There was another powerful orches
tra of 130 pieces Irom Turin under Carl
pedrottc. Wlial could Gilmore expect to do
against them without a single first-doss cornet
-Ist in his whole troupel If Arbuckle or Levy
hod gouc along there might have be*u some
chance, althuuga It wuuldhavebeen slim enough
then. The xvluphoue, that was encored in Lon
don. didn't take Wurth a cent on the Conti
nent; lufact, It was played out there fifteen
years ago.” . t ,
"Was any attempt made to go on to Ger
many!”

for them that they didn’t. They would have

Jt was the Intention of Mr. Gilmore to reopen
at the Garden in case his Enropcsn tour was
successful. It Is worthy of note that all except
lour or fire of the so-called American band are
Germans, and that moat of the others are £□•

A FLOATING ISLAND.
One nf the Wonder* of the fionkh Pacific
Ocean*
Fj* Araut.
The ezlstcoco of a floating Island, Waga-qele,
In Vanua Leva, Is known to very few, prob
ably, besides those native* who reside in or
near the District of Nadogo, to the northeast of
the Province of Macuata. No visit previous to
outs, no tar as we are informed, has been paid to
the place by any European. A short account,
therefore, of what we saw may not be without
some interest. We slept on the Island of
Kavewa. and in the morning aalled to the main*
land opposite, and entered the River Malaqulo,
near to the Town of Nobn. The river la of
considerable size, and might be navigable for
five or six miles in a ten-ton cutler. The
hanks are low, and are not visible for some
distance, owing to the deosodogoon both sides.
So far an we could aee, the country is very poor,
yielding a coarse fern only, and a few nokonoko
trees, and the hills, which are not distant, sp
peared to be quite barren. At a distance of six
miles or more from the sea the branches of the
trees became troublesome to our masts and
rigging, and we landed and walked about
three miles further, through very poor land, to
the small Town of Nakellkoso. where wn had
arranged to meet the proprietor (taukel) of the
island. He did not arrive, however, until late
at night, and our visit was delayed until next
morning. Our party, which consisted originally
of fourteen persons, two of whom were chiefs
of some local distinction, was now Increased to
about fifty or mure, many of whom were young
girls, brought by the chief to honor our visit
with a “mckc.” A walk of about two miles
from the Town of Nakellkoso brought us to
the object of our Journey. About half-way wa
came to a nokonoko tree, with which there Is
connected a playful superstition, similar to
what Is found at Mua-l-udu In ahalawa tree.
The Chief explained the custom, and instructed
usln the form of words to he used. Then each
one, "low to himself,’ 1 named the fair one be
wished for his own, and threw n stone at the
tree from a distance of thirty yards or there*
about. The majority missed, and there were
shouts of “sacala,” but those who hit were
congratulated upon the certaiuty of winning
the woman fur their wife. On our ar
rival at the lake, whither the most of the
natives bad preceded os, the scene that
presented itself was at ouce most lively and
most dreary. Very * dreary because, as
far os the eye could reach, there lay a
barren waste. We stood in the centre of
n vast moorland, and the lake had dwindled
during a Are months’ drought to a swamp.
Thera was no sign of life but what wc ourselves
had brought. Wo were lively enough, however,
ns you may imagine. The “ taukel" bad clam*
hered up a tree on the Island (or a tall bush
called nalata), and was adjuring the Island-god
to move: the girls were on the opposite side of
the mere, in the full flow of a meJte;-4l>out half
a dozen natives were poling about a small Isl
and In the highest glee, and anmnber, both of
men and womeu, were on the large Island with
the tankel, who seemed to be the gtnitu loci*
helping him (with stout polos) to move the
mass. Every one was iu the highest spirits.
One chief told us that the Waga-qelo had sailed
across the mere that morning, which wo had
great pleasure lu believing, os the wind was
from that quarter, but It was lylug on
the Ice slue now, and swayed about
without progressing much. A light spring
of three or (our feet lauded us
on the Island, which without doubt Is afloat,
and moved a fathom or .two when wewere on It.
Hod the wind changed, I fee) sure tost we
should have boon ferried over tho water in the
“ Waga-qclo.” It is fifty paces Hi length aud
about twenty In breadth, and is composed en
tirely of Arm turf, in some places quite dry,
being thickly covered with tall rushes (kuta),
besides several nalala bushes fifteen to twenty
feet high. Tncro ore four islands in all. Three
are of tuo size and appearance of that on which
wo stood. • One has three balawa trees on it,
and appears to have Lean more recently do
uched from tho moor. The fourth Island Is
smaller, being only about Qftceu feet in length,
and on It was the scene of most uproarious
mirth. At ouc time wo counted ten men on It,
one of whom was a very reverend vakavuvull
bull, U c., head teacher, of our party, who
being now convinced that there was noth
ing lu the “kaeikacl” was giving bis mind en
tirely to the scientific side of tho question. The
aggregate weight of tho ten people must have
been about 1,000 pounds, and the Island sunk
several Inches, and eauted ominously until re
lieved of part of its burden. The men, one by
ouc, teacher and all, plunged into the water and
swam about, regardless of the grim warning of
the old man up the tree that they would be
seized by unsccu hands below. Wo wore not
slow to follow the example of the natives, and
jumped m also. The banks are covered with
rushes and are level with the water. They do
not shelve at all, but go down sheer. Whore
wo bathed there was no bottom for at least two
to three fathoms at the very margin of the
moss. In many places the water had sapped
tho loose soil under tho turf to a considerable
distance. At the time of our visit the size of
the mere waa about 250 yards by 150. but prob
ably after much ram it Is three times
that size. Wo had uo means of judging
the depth other than by swimming, ana we can
only say that we found It to be mure than two
fathoms in the middle, nut how much more we
cannot say, and wuere the Island had drifted It
was two fathoms. Thu water is stagnant, but
not impure! R la not pleasautto the taste, but
there is hardly a suspicion of a boggy flavor.
Tho sun was extremely hot, and after our shade*
less walk wo arrived in a simmering condition,
and tho water fell cool and refreshing. Wo
swam tho entire length and bock again without
finding any snags, or any leaves or sticks of our
kind. As may uo supposed, tho place is haunted
by ghosts of old superstitions, and much of the
Interest of our visit was connected with the
legends told to us. Tho natives were very
eager to tell us that since they bad become
•Mom” they hod ceased to believe lu the god;
but the very eagerness with which they spoke,
and an entreaty that they had made to
us on the day previous that we should
not approach the Island without the ‘•taukel.”
were significant of the strength of their old
habits of thought. Besides tho mao up the
tree, to whoso “kacl had” we have called at
tention, there was another “taukel” present,
—a woman, tall and handsome, though no long
er young. She had a must commanding appear
ance, aud she stood ou the island and gavo her
orders; faded memories of what wo hod read of
the sibyls of old wero revived, and wo could
believe lu her as the lost representative of an
expiring faith. She told us stories of tho island
god, lu what she has since been taught to call
“ Devil times ” (na gauua vaka tevoro), but al
ways added, “Sluce 1 put ou my sulu I do not
believe In him any longer.” His name was Dro
Waluvala (Dro meaning Mr.). Wo begged of
her nut to call him a tevoro, but a kolon, os of
old. ile had ■ power iu the district, and was
much feared, though not au unkindly god when
respectfully treated. Uttering* were brought
regularly, and neglect was punished.
We were told of some girls who
attempted to swim across the mere
without asking Dro Waluvala’s permission,
“ aud they swam, and swam, and swam, but
could not get across at all.” Then they remem
bered the god, amt went home for a present.
After that they crossed easily. One man, too
curious, is said to have put his hand below the
island, to see what it was made of, and when he
drew back his arm his hand was gone. The
Island god once gave a present of a club to the
taukoi: and at fifty miles distance we were as
sured that we should see the club; but as wo
neared the place Hi whereabouts became more
aud more vague, until our arrival ou the spot.
When there was uo trace oi it. Another god,
called “ Lulu,” had taken away that club.
There were some other things, also, that we did
uot see. The three eels that served the Wags
qule as a rudder In the good old times we did
uot see. But we were glad to see Hie island It
self, aud all the place, before the light of the
ancient mythology had cut.rely faded away, or,
rather, hud become merged Into the greater
light; for the simple belief of these people was
but a tropic night, aud uot entirely destitute of
some good thing.

Sabbatarianism In Richmond. Ta.
Great Is the Indignation in Richmond, Va., at
the suddeu and atern enforcement of an anti*
(iualed Sunday law. Not only does Police Jus
tice White flue saloon-keepers $lO and |2O for
keeping open bar, but be has also forbidden
newsdealers, dear-stores, and soda-water foun
tains from keeping open, has stopped the de
livering of ice-cream to private families, and
will not even allow keepers living over their
shops to leave their doors ajar on the drat day
of the week. Judge Christian, lately Inducted
into ofllce at the huntings court, has already
broken up the city faro-banka and diminished
the social evil in great measure, but pcoule and
press think this sort of buMness can be carried
too far. and unite in denouncing this extreme
Sabbatical crusade.
