E. Osgood, A Co.,"by whom it will'll-published in book-form; ou Saturday, Decembers. The poem is entitled •‘The Last Tournament.” It forms one of that remarkable' scries of Arthurian poems, “The Idylls bUibe King,” .now* rounded out. into,the fullness of an epic, and its place is between' ***Pelleas andEttare" and “Guine vere.” The Last Tournament” is subdued—al most sombre—hi coloring and tone. The wail, of November winds i«in every lino. The hero* laSirTnstrnm.oncof thoyounger Knights of the Round Table, iu whom the growing moral degeneracy of the time dims the glory of martial deeds. Ho is the lover of Queen Isolt of Britain, who is wedded to the brut ish and besotted Mark. At the conclusion of the last tournament in which the Knights of the Bound Table engage. Sir Tristram, victor in all the jousts, rides forth to meet Isolt, who has been immured by her jealous lord’ in the lonely castle of Tintagil. Since he saw her last he has married a namesake of the Queen—thefair, Isolt of Brittany whom he does not love; and as he rides, his mind is vexed with devising how to smooth it over to one ho loves as well as his shallow nature can love. To please her and show *hU devo tion, he carried, the rich prize of the tourna ment to hang about her neck. The meeting is beautifully described; Then pressing dsyby day thro’Lvonesso, lost in a rocky hollow, belling heard The hounds ot Mark, and felt the goodly hounds, Yelp at hie heart, but turning, past and gained Tintagil, half iu ©ea, and half on land, A crown of towers. Down in a casement sat, A low sea-sunset glorying round her hair And glowqr-turoated grace, Isolt the Queen. And when eh© heard the of Tmtram grlnd The spring stone tho* scaled about her towor. Flushed, started, mot him at the doors; and there Belted his body with her white embrace. Crying aloud Not"Murk—not Mark, my aodl I The footstep flutter’d me at first; not ha; Cat-like thro* Ids own castle steals Yuy Mark But warrior-wise thou strictest through his halls Who hates thee, as to UiedoatiL- Wy wml.

My God, the measure bf my hate lor Mark, Is as the measure of my love for thee.” So, pluck’d one way by hat© undone by love, Drain’d of her force, again sho ©at,* and ©puke To Tristram, he knell before her, ©tiying, O hmitcr, and O blower of the horn.

Jsolt ?—I fought his battles, for Isolt I The night was dark: the true star set!—lsolt! The name was ruler of the dark—l soU l Care not for her I patient, and prayerful, meek. Tale-blooded, she will-yield herself to God.*’ And Isolt answered: “Yea, and why not H 1 Mine is the larger need, who am not meek. Pale-blooded, prayerful. Let mo tell thee now. Here one black, mute midsummer night I sato .Lonely, but musing on.thee, wondering where, Simmering a, light song I had heard thee slug, And once or twice I spake thy name aloud.* Then flash'd a levin-brand; and near me .stood, In fuming sulphur blue and green, a fiend— Mark's way to steal behind one in theilark— Tor there was Mark: ‘Do haa wedded her/ he said, 2*ot said, but hiss'd it: then this crown of towers 80 shook to such a roar of all the alcy, That here, in utter dnrk.T swoon’d awhv.

From the Topeka (Kan.) Commonwealth, Nov. 24. The Hon. John U. Edwards and wife ar rived from Ellis yesterday and are now stop ping at the Telit House. Mr. Edwards kindly furnished us with the following facts con cerning the lute storm; The storm began, last Friday at 10 o’clock, and at 3 p. m. the snow was so profuse and the wind so tierce that it was impossible to see objects a few feet distant. The trains which arrive'd at Ellis on Friday evening wore detained until Saturday evening, when one train started cast with snow plows and four engines ahead to clear.the track. On Sunday morning an other train started west preceded by a simi lar outfit to the one east on Saturday evening. Mr. Edwards pronounces the storm the fiercest that he has known on,tho plains .during a residence of nearly five years. The Kansas Pacific Com pany have been most successful in fighting these storms, and the trains have not been delayed longer than twenty-four hours at any time. Mr. Hamilton, of Ellis, who was oat in the storm daring its prevalence, reported that a great many settlers ou the Solomon, beyond the settlements, :who were hunting their meat supplies for the winter, were totally un prepared for snch a' storm, and he feared many must have perished. He and party were compelled to leave their whole outfit, mount their mules, and make haste for Ellis, where they arrived on Monday evening in a starved condition. He also expressed the; opinion that many lives, and a large amount of property would bo lost from tho. .severity of the storm. The danger to life ana property did not result from the quantity of snow that fell, but hvm tlio burrioanu tlmt blew, covering all roads and trails, and filling to a level’ with the plain all ravines and cuts. Travellers would plunge into these and sink entirely but of sight, and before they could extricate themselves, they would perish from cold and exhaustion. Large herds of cattle which have been graziugm tho Saline and Solomon valleys were scattered by the storm, and as the train came east, sqnfids were seen crowded together at different points. Many of them will undoubtedly bo saved, but a larger number must bo lost. -Hundreds -of antelope were seen by returning hunters in the ravines, and the mere they straggled to get out, ihe deeper and deeper they sank in tlie treacherous snow.. Buffalo were driven toward tho for protection, and large herds were within one-half mile of Ellis. A party of Eastern excursionists, who ar rived at Ellis, on Friday evening, were very anxious to see the bnfiolo, whicn were just bej-oud the kill north of Ellis. Notwith standing the fierceness of the storm, tho blinding suow filling all tho air, and the mis givings of old hunters as to thepropriety of the trip, they persisted iu having horses. It was omv a half a mile, and we will risk get ting back, said they all. The horses were furnished and tho party left. Ellis. Hour succeeded hour, and nothing was heard from the“buflalo interviewers.” Ellis was all excitement. The passengers who remained sought information with bated breath. The locomotive whistle was blown continuously, guns were fired in rapid succession; at Fast the party came, and although provided with a compass, they had travelled far west ward until they struck the railroad, which was followed eastward to Ellis. The party would not confess that they were lost, but their return route was thought to be some what longer than would bo selected by ex perienced travellers. Along the railroad the snow was drifted in the gulches to tho depth of twenty-five or thirty feet. -At Hays it was reported that twelve men had been frozen to death from exposure on tho plains, three of whom had al ready been brought in. Notwithstanding the delay of trains, Mr. Edwards thinks that the company, with the present facilities, will prevent any recurrence of similar difficulties. [The Leavenworth Times gathers tho fol lowing particulars of tho .recent terrific 1 storm out West from Captain Peter Thomas, who was a passenger on the train that was wrecked just this side of Denver:] A Chinaman and his wife, wltii many others, were in one of the coaehea, and tho body of the carwne eastfrom the trucks, dragged on its side for some distance, crushed a dozen cattle tojelly, and tumblingtbe passengers upon each other, but fastening the Chinaman, with ids cue, between two seats, with his wife beside him, and.

Interesting r Interview nt,• the 'Vatican—. •The Pope- Only*- Wants a kittle Corner Where He enn bcffl^ster—Extract from Fam’i New Book. By far thd most interesting portion of if. Jules Favro’s new book, entitled Rome and the Republic,” are the diplomatic documents relating to the interview between the Hope and the IVench Minister, Count d’Harcourt. The interview on the 26th of April last is thus described: The Cardinal (says M. Jules Favre) having ascertained the wishes of the Pone, informed Count d’Harcourt that, ho would be received oh the 28th of April, in order that he might present his-credentials. The news having been circulated throughout the city had l caused a certain amount of “During the passage from the Colbnua’ Palace to the Vatican, I was the object (says M. d’Harcourt in his despatch, dated the 26th of April, 1871) of a curiosity-which; in cer tain quarters, approached to malevolence. Nevertheless,there was no hostile crymorde-/ nionstration—not oven when that portion of the inhabitants devoted to the Pope uncover ed whilst he passed. The evidence of respect and consideration toward the representative of the French Governmeut became unani mous at the approaches to the Vatican, which were crowded by many hundreds or people. Having mounted the staircase, I found the rooms, which communicated with the Pope’s apartment, tilled. Cardinal An to nelli (it was the first time I had seen him} apprised me, in a few simple' and, dignified words, that an ambassador could no 'longer he received .with, the-ceremony of’ former times—a great portion of the personnel who figured on such occasions having been dis-' charged. The domestic servants, were, said the Car dinal, less numerous than* previously; but/ instead of, the personal, attendants, who had been dismissed,, there was -a numerous gathering of the friends of the Pope, Romans and foreigners, who had assembled to witness a diplomatic incident which was' 1 generally regarded as favorable to the cause of the Hi>ly.Father. 'The reception indeed. ‘lice from all" ceremony and preparation, possessed a particularly solemn character. Having been introduced to the Pope, I at once explained the object of *my mission. VeiyjHoly Father,” I said, Ihave the honor 1 to place in your hands the letters of the Chief of.the Executive Power-accrediting me as French Minister at Romo. M. Thiers especially charged' me to be the interpreter of the wishes and-desires he enter tarns for the welfare of the Church, the prosperity of the Holy See, and the'personal happiness of your Holiness.: Since the French Govern ment has.ceascd to bo .represented hero by an Ambassador, painful events have taken place at Rome; and the feelings with which they have been received in Irance aro too well known to render any expression of yhom necessary by me. The, bonus which unite ns to the Holy See requires to be- drawn closer together. Nothing could -more surely attain that cud than the com munity of misfortunes which France and itself have suffered., Whilst the Holy See had. to sustain the trials of. adversity, .France had to submit to defeats-which ’have even astonished its enemies. We have the assurance that, in time,wc shall recoverfrom our disasters; and the persistence of our ad versaries in exhausting our resources proves thatthey are of the same opinion. It is the duty of great peoples and of groat institu tions to support the severest shocks without dejection or complaint,- and to conquer mis fortune by their imperturbable confidence and assurance, whilst awaiting more auspi cious times; No testimony of .sympathy, no gift for the victims of this lamentable war, have been more precious than yours. I have been particularly requested to thank your Holiness.” The Pope replied os follows: I shall answerM. Thiers’ letter.
