Grand news it is. hut papa told me not to mention it. so if I tell you, you will let it ?0 no further?" ami Connie Steadnian glanced round at lu r friends, feeling herself an important personage, as the youthful possessor of a vcrct usually does. "Oh. trust us. Connie, we won't say a single word to any one; we will lie as dumb as mutes on the subject," exclaimed ' Kate Dcrwent; and her sister Mary, and their cousin, Kdith Salter, who had come in like Constance for a morning chat, tnorlo 1 w? irill 1111(1 till' quartette drew their eliair-; close, in delightful anticipation. ''Well, then. pupa told us yesterday evening?Imt. Katie, there is some one in the other room." and Connie glanced through the half >pen curtains into the large drawing-i 0111, at the further end of which sat a lady engaged in some i quiet occupation. " Only Aunt Margery, "answered Katie: " she is copying some music for us, and won't hear if you speak low. Now do, dear Connie, get on with your story, for I am dying with impatience.'' "Well, then, the house on the hill is let .to a single gentleman, Mr. Maurice Chester, very nice-looking, very rich, who intends to come and live in it himself, and give no end of nice parties and halls, I expect, for lie asked papa if there was good society in the neighborhood, as he would not like to settle down in a dull place. Of course papa gave him a good report of the land, in that and every other respect, and so he decided to take the house, lie will come here next month, to superintend the fitting up. etc."' "Oh, how glorious!"' cried Mary, clapping her hands; "now we shall have fun. But, Connie, is he young. though?" "Oh. yes. about thirty, papa thought,'' answered Connie, rather doubtfully. "Thirty? Why, he is quite old!" said Mary, disgusted, from a seventeen-yearold point of view. "Why, he will do for Aunt Margery?we always call her an old maid, and he is an old bachelor!" "Nonsense Mary, what stuff you talk." said Kate, who, being threc-and-twenty, took a different view of the matter. "Thirty is not old for a man You only care for boys, like George Burden." Mary blushed. "But you would not expect him to buy a house and estate, like this gentleman. The only thing is?is he engaged. Connie?" "Ah, that I can't tell you. unfortunately. I asked papa, and he said very likely, he hnfln't :iske<] him: but 111:1111111:1 thinks not. because he would certainly have brought the lady to see her future home, if he had been," said Connie. "Your mamma is right, Connie: he certainly would have done so," said Kate, decidedly. And then followed quite an hour's discussion about the newcomer, in the height of which, Connie herself, as well as the other two, quite forgot the need of secrecy, and the lady so quietly occupied in the other room must have been very deaf not to have heard all the conversation. She took very little notice of it.however; the girls made just as much commotion if they met a new face at a dinner-party, or * were introduced to a strange partner at a ball, for Maundbury was such a quiet place, and so miserably short of masculine society, except the old and married, that any chance acquaintance even caused quite a flutter among the marriageable ladies. ilow, then, coulcl the news or a permanent resident fail to affect them? It is said that at no age does a woman give up the hope of marriage, hut I must say at the risk of being disbelieved, that uo thought s of the matter ever caused Margery Derwent's pulse an extra flutter. If her niece Kate had grown to the age of twenty-three, beautiful and attractive as she was, with only lovers ' who loved and rode away," there seemed little chance for her. Aunt Margery,with the faded looks and quiet manners that sorrow, and loss, and thirty years of lift- had dowered her with, to be more fortunate. Margery had had her love-dream,but it had faded with the loss of her father and all her fortune, except a small sum which just found her in clothes, while her brother insisted upon her making his house her home. At first Mrs. Dcrwcnt objected, but the!' finding Margery very useful to call up in the night in ease of sudden illness, to help take care of the children, and to make herself generally useful, as poor relations are expected to do, she ceased to grumble, and Margery found herself settled at Dcrwcnt house, with a a<?rt of half-recognition in society, the back seat of the carriage, the coldest place at tli<- fireside always hers, in return for being constantly at every one's beck and call. She had never been a beauty, but she had been" pretty and lively, and much sought%fter in society when she was the only darling of a rich man. and at first the change had been very bitter to her, but of late she had grown passively re i 1^4 t r* a. 'vuiicuuu u> ui'i mi. urn ?rar> im iiic -i, same unvarying rouml had quite driven from her mind any hope of change. She was "only Aunt Margery''to her nieces and all their giddy circle of young acquaintances, and had quite resigned herself to remain so to the end of the chapter. So she took little or no interest in the r - flutter of preparation caused among the girls by tjj^tcoming of the eligihie bachelor, though with her customary amiability, she was always ready with her advice and assistance in matters of the toilet, which were to help captivate him when he came. The girls had persuaded Mrs. Derwent to give a small evening party the week after his arrival, and as that lady had seen and approved of luinasa "capital match for Kate,'* they had very little difficulty in getting their own way in the matter and arranging it on a scale of grandeur never before seen at Maundbury, except at the stately parties given once a year at my Lord jtlaundbury s own Jiou.se, at wmcn royalty was sometimes present. But I doubt if even royalty's own gracious presence could have made that party more successful; it served for a subject of conversation f<?r a long time afterward. Maurice Chester made himself so agreeable, and proved to be such an adftV mirable hand at arranging improptu charade^, playing on his violin, dancing, C}; singing and talking, that he was unanimously voted the success of the evening, and his coming into the neighborhood was considered an unqualified gain by both old and young. The (piiet little sleepy town of Maundbnry went nearly mad over him, and numberless were the dinners, balls, and evening parties given in his honor during the next four months. The name of Maurice Chester was in every mouth: he was voted ua darling," "a gem," by the ladies, and a "brick," Jtr and a "jolly good fellow," by their brothers. He was so dark and sunburned ??' ' that he looked his thirty-five years, but then he was tall and handsome, with nobl$ features and winning manners, and all ' the young ladies envied Kate Derwent, jV: who" being the most beautiful and accom pusneu iauy an inc. cxruic, $6 [ ly stand the best chance of winning such a prize. Mrs. Derwent had ascertained that he was not engaged, lie had been, in his X early youth, but the lady, a clergyman's daughter, had died of a fever caught through visiting the poor, on the eve of ' their marriage, and he had seen no one "V since that he wished to put in her place. This interesting information beine speed ily circulated, made 'him^morc popular than ever?quite a hero of romance, in fact. ' And mamma says that is very likely the reason he is so gentle and attentive to ladies?why, he is quite as nice to her and other married ladies as to us young ones, and?did you notice??the other evening he actually danced with Aunt M rgery!" Which hist exploit of the hero was evidently considered an unnecessary waste of his good offices by Miss Derwent. Still less did she approve of his next proceeding, which was to send to London for two songs which Aunt Margery happened to mention had been her favorites long ago, but which she had lost through lending th.mitoan acquaintance. Tt ..II v,.rr tvnll vnn L-nnw fYmiiin '' sin* said, in a confidential talk with that unfailing sympathizer.

"I will certainly remember tlmt two are company, but three none." answered Connie. laughing. Hie could afford to be good-natured, for she was engaged to a handsome young lieutenant, the only son of the rector, and would be married on his return from his next voyage. The day of the picnic arrived. The weather was superb, and everybody was in high spirits, except the originator of the j holiday. At starting he looked pale, and ! his manner was lire-occupied and nervous, ' - i .:..t ....if Miv | Ulllllve ins UMiai miyui, j^ium .-i-n. ! Derwciit and her daughter exchanged glances; Kate's was triumphant, and she j saw herself, in imagination, returning i home the promised bride of the rich and . popular Maurice Chester, of Chester U rove, as lie had renamed his splendid home. I By the time they arrived at their destination, Maurice had quite recovered his I usual spirits, and was soon rowing Kate j and some other gay young friends on the lake, while Aunt Margery walked quietly along its margin alone and rather sad, for she could not but recall, as the sound of their merry laughter came to her from the water, her own bright youth, when she had been surrounded by love and friendship. as Kate was now. She felt a little hurt, too, that Mr. Chester had notoirered her a seat in the boat; it was not like his usual kind thought fulness for all. which she had so constantly admired in him. ' All. well, I am only Aunt Margery to him. I suppose. I dare say I look forty, at least, beside Kate," she thought. Hut it was not in her nature to spend long in repining. She was soon engaged in a merry hunt through the maze with the younger members of the party, and when the rowing-party returned, shouts of "Auntie,, where are you "This way. Johnnie I" "Take the path to the right!" "Keep round to the left!'' "Oh. I am lost!" rcsOunded through the usually "silent ruins. I i> .1,. ? ??? fi,? i ll'MUin 4uai^ij iuiuim (i ??*!' ***v hedge, which she plunged through, calling on Reggie, her youngest nephew, tc follow her. "I'm coming, Aunt Margery; wait a moment !*' he cried. But. willing to give iilm a good chase, Margery sped on. and presently found herself in a small stone grotto, in which the path unexpected terminated, and shut in on either side by masses of tangled bushes and underwood. Breathless, sin sat down on a little worm-eaten wooden bench, and waited for Reggie. Footsteps soon were heard on the leafstrewn path, and, springing out, intend ing to give Reggie a start, Margery Hew right into the arms of Maurice Chester. Kate herselef could not have blushed more vividly than did Margery at thi? unlooked-for visitor to her retreat, nor, had it been Kate, would Maurice have looked more embarrassed, or have had a brightei look of pleasure on his handsome fac< directly after. ' Pray, excuse me, Mr. Chester; ] j thought you were Reggie,'1 exclaimed j Margery, who, woman-like, was the firsi to recover herself. I " Well. Miss Derwcnt, I really thinli i yon owe nie some apology for so nearly knocking me down! What sort of j I place is this!" he continued, coolly look ! ing around him, and not offering to re i limpiish the hand he had caught wher ! Margery darted out upon him. "It is a very nice place. I think w< will go hack, Reggie cannot find me,' said Margery, blushing more deeply, unci trying to withdraw her hand. ' I don't want Reggie or any one els< to find you just now. though I am onh too glad I have done so," answered Maurice, and he gently drew her back to th< <jrotto. " Come and sit down just for s few moments; I huve something to tel you.'" Margery's face grew pale again, and with a gentle, yet dignified movement, she withdrew her hand. "He is going to tell me that he love.' j Kate, and wishes to marry her," she thought. And with another sigh for hei own vanished youth, when love, and joy, and a happy marriage had lain within the limits of a sweet probability for hei future life, she seated herself to listen. It was strange how the commonplaci civilities she had received from the mar now before her had seemed to reawaken the hopes and thoughts of that time which had for so long seem buried. Hut he. too. began to sneak of a buried past, j and she resolutely put aside her own 1 thoughts, and listened with an interest in the speaker that bred in her a vague alarm. What was Maurice Chester to her. she tremblingly asked herself, that hi* tones should thrill her? "Ten years ago. Miss Derwent, I was engaged to be married, and I can truly say that no two people could have loved each other with a truer devotion, or have seen before them the prospects of more I happiness than my poor Marion and I. But she was taken from me, and the blow was cruci indeed, r or years i nave mourned her, and I never hoped to be gav and happy again, until a happy fate sent me to Maundbury, where I have seen one whose sweet self-forget fulness and gentle care for others awakened my admiration. and has now won the love of my later manhood. Margery, dear gentle Margery, will you accept the gift? I will try to make your life happy and free from care, and I shall think myself blessed at last if you will give me your sweet self in return." i 11 1:.... i . r i.. i in- \\ii> Miiiiuiun iMiui r i in u\9\\ % .um *?jK-akiu?r with rapid, eager utterance, while Margery could only stammer out: "Mr. Chester?I?1?you surprise me.

Maurice Chester was supremely happy in his choice, while his wife was " only Aunt Margery" no longer. The Oldest Republic. According to the London correspondent of the Manchester Guardian, the little State of San Marino, just thirty miles in circumference, the oldest government in Europe and the oldest republic in the world, proposes to enter into diplomatic relations with England. San Marino, situated in the midst of the Papal States, has been entirely independent since, in the fourteenth century, it refused to pay certain taxes to the pope. It was already a self governing community, the sovereignty being exercised by the whole population. But in the fourteenth century this absolute form of democracy was replaced by a sort of oligarchy, power being vested in a council of sixty life members elected from all classes of the population. Five centuries later, in 1847, it was decided that the council of sixty should appoint annually a committee of twelve, who still form the supreme judicial court. Secretaries of home and foreign affairs and a receiver-general of finance were also appointed San Marino can scarcely possess a lar^e army, but its government has often given proof of courage; and, on one occasion, when Garibaldi had sought refuge within the boundaries of the brave little republic, it refused to give him up, and persisted in its refusal, notwithstanding Austrian threats of invasion. It may be further mentioned in honor of San Marino that, unlike another notorious little Italian State (Monaco) it does not tolerate public gambling RAISING THE SUGAR CANE. THE PROCESS OF 8UOAB MAZING i XX LOUISIANA. How the Caitc In Planted, (irown and Hanc?tcd-Thc .Hethod of linking Snpa.r. I Sugar planting differs from nil other I agricultural pursuits in that the fanner i himself is of necessity a manufacturer | also. Grain goes to the mill, cotton to the factory, but cane is so heavy and so i perishable that it will not bear long1 transportation, and must be prepared for consumption at the placc where it is grown. Cane is planted like corn in rows six feet apart, special attention being paid to drainage. Technically speaking there is no "seed." but stalks of cane are laid In the furrow, sometimes singly but oftener two, three or four stalks being laid side by side. At each joint there is, or should be, an 41 eye" from which sprouts a single endogenous shoot which sends downward slender tough roots,and at the surface of the ground puts out twenty or more suckers, most of which perish, leaving perhaps a half dozen to reach maturity. In its early stages cane apparently dilfe-s from corn only in having a narrower blade and a lighter shade of green, but as soon as corn tassels it ceases to t^row and devotes itself to the production of seed. In the tropics cane alsp in due time tassels, but in Louisiana before it reaches that stage it is nipped by the frost, which kills the terminal shoots and stops further growth. Tim mv.ii-tii fine has been re ? markably strong, stalks nine feet long, with twenty to twenty-five ripened joints, exclusive of the green tops, being common. The average is probably seven and one-half to eight feet in length, with a diameter at the ground of one and onehalf inches. These stalks arc so full of sap that when cut with a knife the juice will spurt out like blood from a cut artery. After the cane is planted the cultivation differs but little from that of Western corn, consisting in frequent stirring of the soil with plows, and breaking of clods and clearing of weeds with cultivator and hoes. After the "plant cane" is cut, the roots remain in the ground for another year, thriving up a new growth called "stubble.'' or "rattoon," which produces nearly as much as the "plant.'" Sometimes the roots remain still an| other year, but generally they are plowed up and the field planted with corn and a" v " T'Urt /./vfn ic Viorv/icforl nnrl "i;u\v i nt; u'i ii m the pea vines plowed under, when the land is ready for eanc again. Under such a system of cultivation these deep alluvial soils do not deteriorate, but produce year after year crops of enormous w(Tight and value. Thirty-five and even forty tons of cane to the acre have been cut this season, worth, when delivered nt the sugar-house, from $3.50 to $4..10 per ton. All field work here is done by mules instead of horses. Fifteen acres, ten of cane and live of corn, are considered a fair area for a plow team of four mules and two negroes. Of the two men, one i holds the plow while the driver rides the nigh wheeler and guides the others, partly by rope reins, partly by his long whip, but more than all by his voice. Each mule is supposed to know his or her name, but the driver rarely uses it. It is, '*You mule! Wha' for you lay back when I done tole you go ahead?" acconi panied by a flourish of the whip which cracks like a pistol shot so close to the i animal's hide as to rough the hair without actually grazing the skin. All through the late winter, the spring I and the early summer months, the plows i keep going, running a race with the I ubiquitous weeds, until late in June or 1 early in July the long plumes of the cvnc interlace across the furrows so that i the teams can no longir penetrate them, and the weeds, disheartened by the heavy shade, give up the contest. Then the field is " laid by." the planter goes North for a few weeks' vacation, and the overseer and hands are left to get 1 out tirewood from the swamp, mend the < roads, harvest the corn and "tidy up'' 1 generallv. In the meantime the susrari t i .1 ,.1? i I10ll.SU litis limi lilUlWU^UIj u>tumuiv,u, : repairs and alterations made, machinery > cleaned and polished, and everything prepared for the winter's grinding. Oe[ tober brings the ])Ianter home, and about I the 10th of the month the harvest t begins. From that time onward there is little ; rest for man or beast until the last stalk of cane is transformed into sugar. The i force is divided into three parts, each . ??irt nnrlur ftc.nwn overseer: the cutters. I I'"*" ? the cane shed gan<; and the sugar boilers'' i hands. A day's work is from sunrise to sunset, but'iii addition the night is d:; vided into two " watches " of six hours ' each, and if the supply of cane is suffil cient to keep the mill going, tlie sugarhouse work runs day and night with i hardly any intermission. In cutting, a broad-bladcd heavy knife. like a butcher's cleaver, and having a ; small hook at the back is used. I)rawt ing a stalk to himself by means of this I hook, the cutter seizes it with his left hand. Two downward strokes strip the I leaves from the ripened portion, a third , lops olf the green top, and a fourth cuts it off just at the surface of the ground. ? The tops and leaves lie where they fall: > tlir. nr/' hi led in the furrow to wait < the carts. In pleasant weather there are j no better roads in the world than those i of a well-kept Louisiana cornfield. The clayey soil packs under the broad wheels until it is as hard and smooth as ice, and four mules will trot of! with a cart and i load weighing together two and one-half i to three tons; but a half day's rain will i turn one of these roads into a quagmire so deep and tenacious that it will be almost impossible to drag even an empty cart through it. Portable railways are coming into use upon the best plantations, their value showing in rainy weather, when but for them the mill would stop for want of cane. Arrived at the sugar-house, the cane is turned over to the cane-shed gang, l.v u'lirmi if i? snrenri cvenlv unon the i carrier,'' an endless belt or apron, by which it is conveyed through an archway into the sugar-house and fed to the roliing-mill. Of the 1,020 plantations in Louisana, four-fifths use steam and the j remainder horse, or rather mule power. The mule mills arc very small, the iron j rolls standing perpendicularly, and the ! cane is fed to them one stalk at a time j by hand. The rolls of the steam mills l are three in number, arranged horizon- | tally, the upper one resting upon the : other two. In several places a second I mill <>f two rolls is set behind the first [ three and takes from them the crushed j cane or "bagasse," as it is called. The largest rolls in the State are seven ' feet lon<r by forty-two inches in diame- I ter for the first three, while the second ' two sire of the same lenirth bv forty- ! four inches in diameter; all of solid iron ' and held together -by enormous holts j screwed down by levers ten feet long. I Even with this tremendous pressure i nearly twenty per cent, of juice escapes in the bagasse, while on lighter rolls the loss i< from one-third to nearly one-half, i I'pon the problem of avoiding this enormous waste much money and thought have been expended. Passing from the mill, the juice i- first i strained and then agitated in a close box in contact with the fumes of burning sulphur by which it is bleached. Thence it passes into large settling tanks, where it receives a small portion of lime water, j Up to this point the process is the same on all plantations, large or small, but the after treatment varies in different places. I'nder the old-fashioned "open kettle" system the juice is boiled over a wood tiro in shallow wooden kettles, three or four of them constitute a "battery." The i Jo >1!nnnrl frnrn /im> In miniIwr :i* it .I""'- "M'l" " -- | decreases in bulk, until it reaches the smallest and hottest kettle, when it boils | until ready to crystallize, when it is drawn off into wooden tanks and allowed to remain several days, by which time it is almost solid. It is then shoveled into hogsheads having holes in the bottom, through which the molasses drains. At the end of ten days further the molasses ceases to drip, and the sugar, of a dirty, yellow color, is ready for the market. On three-quarters of the plantations sugar is made in this primitive way, hut as these are the smallest in capacity, their proportion of the entire crop is i V* liiekj flf flu, wnnnininrr nlfintf'rc IIIIIV11 --M ...v, b , . one-half retain the open kettle, hut supplement them with pans heated by steam \ for the later stages of evaporation; and I a few of these possess vacuum pans for i the final concentration. Less than one hundred have complete "trains,"' in which all the boiling is done by steam. These "refiners," as they are called, in addition to the crop raised upon their own land, often buy cane of their smaller neighbors. They employ the most skilled labor, and there is great though kindly rivalry between them as to the biggest yield and the best quality of sugar; and to hear a group of these gentlemen talking on the piazza of the St. Charles hotel after the Crop is ofi", one would think i they had all just returned from a fishing I excursion.?New Orlennt JHcay'une. i SELECT SIFTINGS.

Near the mouth of the Little Cheyenne lliver, in Dakota, is a rock with curious indentations. It is twelve feet long by seven or eight wide, and rises above the surface of the ground about eighteen inches. Its edges are angular, its surface Hat, and it shows little efl'ect of ice action. It appears to be jnagncsian limestone, and its whiteness makes it a conspicuous object. On the surface are several deep and perfect footprints, as though made by the left nioccasincd foot of a woman or boy. It is known to the Indians as a religions rock, and they worship it. An Oriental writer has recently given ati interesting description of an ancient burial in the Chinese empire. It was the custom of the wealthy man to procure his coflin when he reached the age of forty. He would then have it painted three times a year, with a composition resembling silicate paint or enamel, which .in i.vonnriinrrlr Tinrrl ro:lt inf. The process of making this paint is one of tin* lost arts of China. If the owner lived long enough, the frequent painting ?eaeli coat being of considerable thickness-caused it to assume the appearance of a sarcophagus, with a foot or more of this hard, stone-like shell. After death the veins and cavities of the person's stomach were filled with quicksilver, for the purpose of preserving the body. A ]liece of jade would then be placed in each nostril and in one hand, while a piece of bar-silver would be placed in the other hand. The body thus prepared was placed on a layer of quicksilver within the coffin: the latter was sealed, and the whole deposited in its final resting-place. Curiosities of the Sense of Siuell. Take the scents of the flowers. "Who is there that, proceeding along some leafy country lane, docs not encounter a delicate odor, which irresistibly carries his memory back to days when, younger and fitfer from real care, he gamboled among the gems of Nature to which the suggesting perfume belongs. The smell of violets, hidden in the green, Pours back into my empty soul and frame The time when I remembered to have been Joyful and free from b.ame The power of association is indeed the most remarkable of all the phenomena which demand attention when studying the subject. The writer has himself met with an in/lii'wln.il \t*linm tlift nni?imp Sinell of Sid phuretted hydrogen gratified and pleased. I lis e\])lanation was that many of his happiest days were spent as a student in a well-known chemical laboratory, where certainly that smell prevailed to an unusual extent. A French author tells us of a young lady who loved Ijcyond all perfumes the smell of old books. Perhaps, with affectionate solicitude, she had been the constant attendant upon some old hookworm of a lather or guardian, and hence the leathery mustiness took her back to days when, quietly happy, she seemed to recognize in the dusty tomes living and trusted friends. Many instances are mentioned by different authorities of persons being rendered faint, or otherwise being painfully affected, by such odors as musk, civet, and even in some cases by the more generally agreeable one of the rose. Often. however, this effect is due more to imagination than to anything else: for example. Dr. Carpelli tells us ot a lady who rould not bear the smell of the rose, and actually fainted on receiving a visit from a friend who carried one; and yet the flower, the cause of all the trouble, was mi artificial one, and quite innocent of scent! Many uncivilized tribes, compelled by their lack of other resources to cultivate to perfection the animal senses, are able to smell as keenly as the bloodhound, and can track their objects of search for miles aided only by the marvelous delicacy of their olfactory nerves. Blind persons also often experience this extraordinary exaltation of the sense. A blind gentleman who had formed a morbid antipathy to cats, acquired thereby a sense of smell >i0 keen that he could tell the proximity of pussy even where several doors intervened between him and the object of his dislike, and when he had no means of acquiring u knowledge of its presence except by the exercise of the nerves of smell. The constant smelling of one odor, as is well known, quickly destroys the perception of that particular one. Jiichclicu used to 'ive in an atmosphere so perfume-laden as positively to be painful to his visitors, while lie himself was unconscious of the suspicion of smell.

The carp is the best pond fish yet known, and in a very small pond will thrive well, so that families in the. conntry may easily have their own fish garden, if they have enough water to make a permanent pond. The fish will thrive on table refuse and almost anything edible. Carp can be kept in winter in a tub in the cellar, the water requiring to be kept fresh. Care should be taken to keep poisonous substances out. of carp ponds, and too much food should not be thrown in.

MMBNB A SCENE OF DESTRUCTION JAVA'S APPEARANCE AFTER THE fn VOLCANIC ERUPTION. stl ac A lVildcrnrtN Where Once FlonriNhhiff in. Village* Existed ? Wrctclicd Ap- of pcnrancc of the Inland. (,n A correspondent from Java, who tra- re: versed tlie country soon after tnc great th volcanic eruption, describes the desolated he region as follows: For miles there was th not :i tree standing, and where formerly th were numerous campongs (native villages f? surrounded by paddy fields and eocoanut cd fro vest. there was nothing but a wilder- j0 ness more resembling the bottom of the or sea than anything else; rocks or coral tli stones and sea shells strewn everywhere, th Some of these solid masses of coral lying a miles inward could not bu less than one t.,| hundred tons weight. Arriving at jr< Merak, the path was strewn with pieces so of iron, while here and then; were por- in tions of the bedding and furniture of the ;1f houses of the Europeans. We were in- h; formed officially that the number of st bodies burned in the district we si: came through was 2,700. The vol- m canie wave must, in my opinion, hi have been even higher than the general tti estimate of 100 feet, and 1 base my opin- ot ion on the fact that the official height of In the small hill of Merak is thirty-live w metres, 11.1 feet, while the wave which J) swept away the houses must have hi been still higher than the top of the hill, tl and this additional height 1 estimate to w be twenty feet. On the top of the hill at l(. .Merak the whole community of workmen h took refuge when the first wave came at f> (i a. >!., and, fancying themselves safe there, they returned again, when the sec- n ond and much higher wave, at !> a. m.. t< came, and swept them all away. Our ei tiovt nm'nt wns to wet hack to our kahars h and make for Anjer. \V(; soon again u came on the trace of destitution, the sea n here having entered a long valley just below Tjilegon, as far as six miles inland, forming a great lagoon. Proceeding farther on the road from Tjilegon to Anjer, we came to the old post station of ? Tjiiulieng, not one stone of it remaining, building,men.and horses having been car- 11 ried away. Pushing on, we found the s, roail had been very well repaired till J within three miles of Anjer, and altoget her the energy displayed every- " where by the government is beyond all s praise. Hundreds of people were at r work in all directions, remaking roads. v clearing away trees, burning rubbish and J1 strewing the ashes on the sea swept soil, in the hope of future improvement. ' Everywhere, in fact, there were activity and energy, and where our road ended and we had to walk there were rows of* ' rice carts, .and the grain was being given v out by native officials to the various head- v men for distribution in their villages. 11 The appearance of the country was even more wretched than before, and, from the hill on the Anier shore, looking northeast to Merak. eleven miles distant, and inland to the foot of the hills, four to five miles, this wedgelike plain of an area of about forty square miles is one vast scene of desolation, being completely swept from end to end. and not one house or tree to be seen. Many thousands were lost here. Getting around this hill, we came at once into the valley of Anjer, a scmi-circlc of four miles from point to point, and extending two miles inland, with a tine range of hills closing all in. In the centre of this plateau, and fronting the sea, was originally situated the town of Anjer, but from where we stood, on first turning the corner of the path, there was nothing to 11 be seen but lagoons, with here and there ' great boulders cast about, and not a vcs- 1 tige of a house. We proceeded, however. and at length came upon the site of the town and fort. Of the fort there is almost nothing left, great blocks of masonry being cast inland: of the town. < still less, for not one stone is to be seen i above another. Mr. Schmit, wlio lost t seven of his relations, went to look for 1 his house, but could not find a trace of ? it, and after a time he concluded that the < river, which formerly formed the creek, < had changed its course and was flowing ?' over the spot where his house and that of ' the assistant resident once stood. There } was not even a ruin, everything having ' been razed to the ground, and it wasdif- ( ficult to realize that the town of Anjer ' Had over cxisicu. The Causes of Deteriorated Eye sight.

The "rays of the sun." says Lord Bacon, "arc reflected by a white body, and are absorbed by a black one." No onr dissents from this opinion; but. despite these indications of ntaureandof philosophy, we print our bonks and write our letters in direct opposition to the suggestions of optical science. When we read a book printed in the existing mode, we do not see the letters, which, being black, are non-reflective. . The shapes reach the retina, but they are not received by a spontaneous, direct action of that organ. The white surface " of the paper is reflected, but the letters ( are detected only by a discriminative s effort of the optic nerves. This etfort | annoys the nerves, and. when Ion# continned, exhausts their susceptibility. c The human eye can not long sustain the broad glare of a white surface without [ injury. The author of "Spanish Vistas," in Ilttr/icrx Mmjmine, says of Cartagena J that ''blind people seem to be numerous ' there, u fact which may be owing to the 1 excessive dazzle of the. sunlight s and the absence of vendure." J .Mr. Seward. in his tour 1 around the world, observed that "in J Egypt ophthalmia is universal," attributing il to the same "excessive dazzle" A of the wild areas of white sand; and ) the British soldiers, in the late campaign ' in that country, exhibited symptoms of ^ the same disease. In the Smithsonian report for 1S77. it is stated in a paper on :l 'color-blindness." that 4 .M. Chcvrcul lias produced 14.420 distinguishable tints of the elementary colors, from which the N paper manufacturers could select colors I more agreeable to the eye than the dazzling white,-so weakening and lacerating to the nerves of that delicate organ."?

J'o- ,( tatoes were served, perhaps as an exotic aJ rarity, at a Harvard installation dinner in 1707: but the plant was only brought " into culture in New England at the arri- jf val of the Presbyterian immigrants from behind in 171N. Five bushels were accounted a large crou of potatoes for a x' Connecticut farmer; for it was held that, if a mun ate them every day, he could not live beyond seven years.? Century. h: The Bloodhound.

To is end lie made choice of a soldier of qj nunc named Montana, a man of some lucation, for he wrote an account of his g( urney; and to him he gave as colleagues, le Penalosa and two others, all "men of scretion and valor."

T be Red Bnntti, Cyclones and Earthquaked Foretelling Coming' Dliu- 1 ter?Haw to Irleet It. CU The recent mysterious appearances follow- $2.5 ig sunset ana preceding sunrise have at- in j acted wide attention from students of the no des and ths people generally. During the chil lys of recent weeks the sun seems to nave reli 3en obscured by a thin veil of a dull leaden abc uewnich, as the sun receded toward the ven orizon, became more luminous, then yellow, pro len orange, then red; and, as night settled sen own upon the earth, a dull purple. At first des i was thought these appearances were or- ing inary sunset reflections of light, but it is thu ow pretty certain that they are either the an listy substance of the tail of some unseen ear amet, in which the earth is enveloped, or a Ici arrounding stratum of world dust or very Coi nail meteors. Professor Brooks, of ity ie Red House Observatory, Pnelps, I w lew York, has turned his tele- lu '?"A 4-Virwo /-tVno/tfa ar?H HlCPAVfllwi -UJ.O upuit vuwov WMJVVVW ?>? ?- ? ?? hat he thinks are myriads of telescopic leteors. If it is unorganized world dust, or ecomposed vapors, as the Democrat and hronicle, of Rochester, N. Y., remarks: ; How is this matter to be dispose ! of? Will t settle and form a deposit upon the earth, < r remain a partial opaque shell about the pj, arth to cut off a portion of the sun's light _ ipon it (" ~~ "Whatever the mystery is, there is no deny- jp ng that some very strange forces are at jH vork in the upper airs. The terrible torna- X loes and cyclones which have swept our own 1 ountry, and the fearful volcanoes and earth |J [uakes which have destroyed so many cities V ind thousands of people?the tidal waves vhich mysteriously rise and fall on coasts 1 litherto unvexed by them?the tremendous i ictivity which is evident in the sun by the / onstant revelation of enormous spots upon j tssurface?all indicate unusual enersy in % he heavenly bodies. ?f These circumstances recall Professor Grim- ? ner's prophecies, that from 1881 to 1^7, the oassaee of the five great planets?Mars. Nep;une, Jupiter, Uranus and Saturn?around # ;he sun would produce strange and wonder- I :ul phenomena, ne says: " me waiera w p She earth will become more or less poisonous. I The air will be foul with noisome odors. * Ancient races will disappear from the earth." He attempts to prove his prophecy by the fact that in .1720, when Mars and Saturn F made their passage around the sun ^Incidentally, great destruction anri mor- s tality visited all parts of the globe. He also found the fame results in previous perehelion passages of the planets, and argue < that these circumstances always produce epidemics and destructive diseases which will baffle the skill of the most eminent physicians; that the poor will die bv thousands, the weak and intemperate falling first, these whose blood has been imiwverished by excess of work or dissipation next, and only those who are in comparative vigor shall escape to enjoy the era of renewed activity and prosperity which will follow the period of destruction. Inasmuch as the entire world seems subject to the sway of the heavenly bodies no part of the earth, he thinks, can escaps scourging. He even predicts that America will lose over ten millions of people; that the farmers will be stricken with fear and cease to till the soil; that famine will make human misery more wretched. That hundreds will flee to overcrowed cities for aid In vain. That sudden changes in ccr>au currents, temperature and surroundings will unfirali* trnnofnrm t.hfi flirfi of nature and climate of countries; that the air will he " so foul with malaria and other noxious gases, that those who survive will be troubled with disorders of the digestive organs. That many who escape other ills will bloar with dropsy and suddenly pass away, while others will prow thin and drag out a miserable existence in indescribable agony for weeks. Neuralgic pains in different parts of the body will torment them. Thev will easily tire and txcome despondent. A faint, hot feeling win be succeeded by chilly sensations while nallucinations and dread of impending ill will paralize all effort. "The birds in the air. the beasts of the field and even the fish of the sea will become diseased, poisoning the air and poisoning the waters of the globe." We are told on the other hand that those who shall pass through this period of trial will have larger enjoyment of life and health. The earth will yield more abundantly than ever before. The animal kingdom will be more prolific and life prolonged very materially. This prolongation ot life will be owing to tne healthy electric and C magnetic influences that will pervade the at T* wrtnW nankano cfidm tVl a t thfi 1 UlU3pUClC< JLU nuuiu UU|/>3 OVVlii VUM" hwv I present redress of the sun, and the presence j of a belt or veil of cosmic matter, justified, t in a measure, the prediction of Professor Grimmer, but disturbing as his a prediction may be we are told for our com- ( lort that the strong and pure blooded need have little to fear In these calamities, tba I those who are delicate or indisposed shoult adopt means to keep the system well supported and the blood pure, and that the most philosophical and effective method of accom- J plishing this is to keep the kidneys and liver J in good condition. from the testimorials of ! such men as Dr. Dio Lewis and Professor R. A. Gunn, M. D., Dean of the United (States ; Medical College, New York, and thousands of influential non-professional people, it seems almost certain that for this purpose there is ] no preparation known to science equal to 1 Warner's Safe Cure, better Known as 1 "VVarnei 'b Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. This < medicine has acquired the finest reputation of * any preparation that was ever put upon the 1 market. It is a radical blood purifier, which I soothes and heals all inflamed organs, F strengthens the nervous system, washes out ( all evidences of decay, regulates digestion, prevents malassimilation of food in a phil- J osophical and rational manner, fortifies the ? system against climatic changes and malarial influences and the destructive agencies which 1 seem to be so abundant in these " evil days." J It is not our purpose to dispute the correct ?iess of Professor Grimmer's prophecies. As j we have said, the marked aisturbancas of the past few years would seem to give a J semblance of verification of his theory. It | is certain, as above stated, that we are pass- t ing through what may be regarded as a '> crucial j>eriod and it is the part of the wise I men not to ignore, but to learn to fortify I themselves against the possibility of I being overcome by these evils, it is a I duty which each man owe: to him- r self, and his fellows, to mitigate as much as i possible the suffering of humanity and in no way better can he accomplish this purpose than to see to it that he, himself, is fortified J by the best known preparation in the strong- ' est possible manner and that he exert the influence of his own example upon his fellows I to the end that they, too, may share with him I immunity from the destructive influences I which seek his min.

I was a new person altogether. The doctors had given me up to die, said there was no hops for mo. I had one hundred and fifty-six pounds of water taken out of me. Was treated by 83V6nteen different doctors, and Hunt's Remedy has cured me. I feel proud over your medicine. Those who suffer with the dropsy I hope will give it a trial, and sea the gcod it will do.
