Joy the fine music and indulge in socia-

growth of the trees planted in the Plaza
in 1889 is truly surprising. One palm
tree already measures six feet in circum-
ference at the ground. - The almond
trees are about six inches in diameter,
twenty feet high, and their branches CO.

attained the height of about twenty five or
thirty feet Orange and lime trees are as

ornamental trees, except in this Plaza,
there are scarcely any in town.

/ In my last | promised 10 give you a
brief history Of the magnificen, scale upon
which business is carried on here, and the
advanced state of the Mechanic and Agri-
cultural Arts. have delayed writing for
some time, from an impression OF the
great importance Of the subject, and my
utter inability TO do Justice TO it. To I'M
derstand matters and things as they really
are here, 1t is necessary to pass at least
six months in attentive observation and
admiration of the genius of this people.
The town numbers about $4,000 inhabi-
one half%hites, and the resi-
due negroes and mula,toes-and is situa-
ted on the border of a dry savannah, about
four miles wide which stretches from the
coast to a rs &c of hills, beyond which
are the cane plantations. There are
'about fifteen or twenty owners of sugar
estates residing in the city, who are rich /;
but how the residue of the people get
their living is more than | can imagine,
unless it be by cheating each other in the
retail line. Almost every other building
is retail store, where some lessons in
keenness might be learned even by the
shrewdest of our Yankees. In lieu of
selling by the pound they have almost
every thing cut or done up in quantities,
which they sell for real medic each t.;
and IN this way get twice as much as they
could by any regular measure or weight
Sugar is bought by the real medios
worth. and thus costs at the rate Of about
ten cents per pound, whereas it is worth
by the box not over 3! cents.
Most of the people buy every thing in
this manner, just enough at each time for
one meal, and after breakfast or dinner
they have not mouthful of any thing to
eat IN the house till the purchase is made
for the next meal. The meat and yege,a-
bles in the market are bought in about the
same manner-ins'ead Of weighing the
meat, they cut off SO long strip for q
peseia--so long for real, &c. &c. Ye-
getables are very dear. even in good
weather: : say about three sweet potatoes
Tor ten cents--and when rainy weather
comes there are none IN market. Grass

The Homo.

For above half century this ancient
couple have inhabited the same house and
the same rooms. There were they mar
ried, and there will they celebrate. their
golden nuptals, in the course Of the next
winter. The rooms ore unchanged, the
furniture the same as City years; yet
every thing is clean, comfortable. and
friendly. as in a one-year-old dwelling,
but much more simple than the houses Of
our times. | know not what spirit Of
peace and grace it is which blows upon
me in this house All! in this house
fifty years have passed as a beautiful day /;
here virtuous couple hWe lived, loved,
and worked together. Many pure JOY
has blossemed here and when sorrow
came, it was not bit.er---for ahe fear of
God, andlove, illuminated thc dark clouds.
Hence emanated many anoble deed, and
many beneicen, influence The happy
children grew up; they gathered strength
from the ex%nplc Of their parents, went
out into the world, built for themselves
houses, and were good and fortunate.
Often do they return, with love and Joy
to the parental home, to bless, aud to be
blessed. All, my Maria! feel that I
am again sliding into the poetical vein
but what would you have! These arc

Joyous and happy creatures
Roamers of earth and air
Free children of the woods
Bright CHANGERS DER the foods
Your homes are every where;
Dear are We, and familiar to the heart,
Making OF natures loveliest things part
Yc are upon the mountains,
With proud and lonely flight;
Ye are upon the heath,
The dear blue heaven beneath,
Singing in wild delight:
The rock doth shelter you, and many nest,
Amidst the lodges Of the lake, doth rest.
Ye skim H.. restless ocean,
Whte-pumed, like fairy things;
Ye haunt the inland river,
And the sweeping willows culver
With the rustic of your wings: take,
Through the dark pines your homeward way We
Or drop to your lone nests in bush or brake.
TO you morn bringeth gladness-
The first red flush of day,
Breaking your rest appeals
Unto your hearts-unseals
The silent songs, that lay
Like dreams within YOU through the quiet night,
And now burst freshly forth to hail the light.
You slumber with the sunset
Scarce doth the day wax dim
Scarce doth the first star glitter,
When from your nests You twitter,
Your happy vesper hymn;
Like enc, who, to the woods her lone way winging,
Fills the deep nghtwith her imprisoned singing!
Solemn are woods at midnight,
When through the heavy shade,
Scarcely moonbeam finds
An entrance where the winds
Stir through each green arcade;
But dear to you that safest solitude,
Where on your rest no mortal may intrude.
And joyful is your waking,
Amidst the signing trees,
In the sweet man hours,
When smile the opening flowers
What want we more than these
10 seek no praise-your songs as sweetly sound,
AS though crowd of worshippcrs stood round
Yo are the poets emblem,
So doth his song gush free
SO winged and glad his spirit,

Pouring its melody
Beneath clear skies, and if they darken, keeping
Song ever in his heart, though it be sleeping.
Sleeping but not forever,
Still to new. life it springs,
When hopes sweet light doth waken,
And care and fear are shaken
Like dcw-drops from his wings;
And midst the flowers and trees with sunshine
glistening,

MIR. Oliver, in his lecture at the Boston
Stale House, on these - most fascinating
insects" as he happily termed them, the
bees, alluded to the wonderful fact that
when by any unfortunate accident they are
deprived of their Queen, they possess the
power Of making another, by converting
a worker worm into royal one. They
first select the young common worms
which are 10 be metamorphised into
Queens, and enlarge their cells, by des-
iroyng three contiguous ones. This en-
largement Of room, however is only suf-
licient for the first three days for the
next two il requires another position. 10
accommodate il still further, they destroy
other cells. AS the worm grows, the bees
continue to labor, and to provide food,
which they place before its mouth, aud
around its body. This food is a substance
designed for royalty alone-more stilnula-
ting than the food of ordinary bees, and
has not the same mawkish taste. The
time having arrived for the transformation
of the worm into Nymph, and no far
Their care on the part of the workers being
necessary, the bees close the cell with 4
peculiar substance, and leave the prisoner
to undergo its changes. When these are
completed, the new sovereign comes forth
in all her majesty and glory--making but
one step from the prison to the throne:
and her delighted subjects cluster around
her, and show every mark of 10y and Ak

The Canal aw..--Opinisn of Judge Kent.

Since the passage Of the Canal Law last win
tSf, the leading wing papers of this and other
states have been un,irng in their efforts to create
the impression abroad, that the democratic party
of this state advocated the odious doctrine Of Re-
PUDIATIoN, and that no reliance could be placed
on the acts and dongs of the people as expressed
by their representatives, in general assembly. All
this noise and clamor was used for the purpose of
defeating the canal agents in their efforts to ne.
:. rota,e the loan, so that the cause Of the failure
might be attributed to the democratic party of this
state, and thus make capital FOR the wing party.
Happily, however. the canal agents observed
the movements of the wing gamblers, and efec-
tually frustrated their designs. The Peoria Re-
gister is cut short in tho midst of its sermon, and
that pious and dgnifed sheet, the Sangamo Jour
nal ceases to shed its crocodile tears. The fol-
lowing opinion Of Judge KENT has closed their
mouths, and places beyond question the legality
of the law. The questions put to Judge X. by our
canal agents were:
l. Has the state Of Illinois clear and I'M
doubted right to the canal and canal lands!
2. Has the state right to pledge and convey
the canal and canal property in trust for the ben
eft of those persons who may now come forward
under the provisions of the act Of ls43, and make
advances of money to complete the canal
3. Would the new subscribers, under the act of
ls43, hold the canal property cesisi que trusts,
under The trust erected by tho act irrevocably by
the legislature, until the trust he fulfilled
a. Had the le 5islature of Illinois the competent
power and right to give preference, in the order
of payment, to the new subscribers, under the act
of 1911, the prior bondhoIders under the for
mer statutes, who do not accede to the new loan
