The route is regularly open, and passengers can

Walker, by his policy iii allowing the troops OF

good effect.

~ Max Schlesinger, in his very readable
work, thus aliudes to Lloyd's, piece famous
throughout the commercial world:
In the London Exchange Building itself there
is broad staircase, with crowds of busy people
ascending and descending, and there is door
with large gold letters, "Lloyd's COfec-house."
Let US ascend that staircase, and see what sort
of q cotiee-house this is. We pass through q
large hall, from which doors open to several
rooms; at each door stands n porter in scarlet
livery. In the hall itself are several marble stat
ucs and a large marble tablet, which the mer-
chants of London erected to the Times, out of
gratitude for the successful labors of that ourn-
al in unmaSiiing gigantic scheme ofimposition
and fraud which threatened ruin to the whole
trade of London. In the center of the hall there
is a large black board, OH which are written the
names and destinations ofall the ships carrying
mails which will sail from English ports on that
and the following day. In the corner to the
right there is door with the inscription, Gap
tains' Room" No one is allowed to enter this
room but the commanders Of merchant vessels,
or those who have business to transact with
them. Next to il is the "Commercial ROOM
the meeting place of all the foreign merchants
who come to London. We prefer entering Il
saloon on the other side Of the hall; the doors
are continually opening and shutting it is crow
dcd with the underwriters, that is to say, with
capitalists who do business in the assurance of
vessels and their freights The telegraphic
messages of vessels arrived, sailed, stranded or
lost, are first brought into this room. Whoev-
er enters by this door walks, in the first instance,
to large folio volume which lies on desk Of
its own. 1t is LLoyls' Journal containing short
entries Of the latest events in English ports and
the seaportS in every other part of the world.
Il tells the underwriters whether the vessels
which they have insured have sailed; whether
they have been spoken with, or have reached
the port of their destination. Are they over
dueS-run aground:-wrecked?- In this
room there are always millions at stake. So
firmly established is the reputation Of this in
stitution, that there is hardly ever bark sail
ing from the ports of the Baltic, or the French,
Spanish, or Indian Seas which is not insured
at Lloyd's. Its branch establishments are in
all the commercial ports of the world; but its
head Office is in Cornhill, and in the rooms of
the Exchange Before we again descend the
stairs, let US for one moment enter the reading
room. Perfect silence; tables chairs, desks; rea-
ders here and there; men of all countries and
nations; all around the walls high desks with
files of newspapers, whose shape aud color indi-
cate that they have not been printed in Europe;
they are, indeed, papers from the other side of
the ocean-China, Barbary, Brazilian, Austria
lian, Cape and Honolulu papcrs-a collection
unrivaled in extent.

disease in grapes similar to that described by
some writers under the name of rot. An ac-
currate knowledge, therefore, of its tranStOrma-
ton aud habits is important to the cutivatnrs OF
the grapevine. As can find no description OF
this insect in works on Entomology accessible to
me, Tsubioin the following, which will serve to
guide persons DESTROYS of learning the habits of
this dcpredator until some subsequent observer
shall furnish one more accurate, Let it. then,
be called "TortTiX Wits, until cntomolosists

Antennae: long, fliform, SilveTy, thoraX silve'

wings pale ash color, with three siivery, multi
form spots on each. This moth expands from
uhree-fOuTths Of an inch to one inch. It's light
is rapid, but not prolonged.
This description was written with living
specimen of the moth before me.
There are two broods of this insect in a year,
the first appearing in this latitude from the LIST
to the goth of July, the second from the LIST Of
August to the 18th of September The Pupas
of the last brood are not transformed to perfect
insects until the following summer. Persons,
therefore, disposed to make experiments can
collect the folded or rolled leaves from the grape
vine in September and confue them in glass.-
In the following summer the moths, which for
beauty are rarely surpassed, will make their
appearance about the 1st of July.

proportions, is phlosopoically conceived, is fair
" launched upon the wings of discussion,
has many advocates, and is SurmiSed TO look IN
the same direction with the higher powers
For you must know that vast numbers of peo-
pie here regard Louis Napoleon as only the most
adroit and inVeterate of the Socialists They
say that he also, believes with perfect convic-
ton that the political evolution of mankind is
ended, and that it only remains to iDaugurste
their social evolution IN an orderly manner. He
is supposed to have acted upon the principle
that the SOCIALISTS proper oelllS olElueu lhlo 50
many pedantic schools, were totally impracti-
cable for this end, and that it was first of all
necessary to sweep their leaders ont of the way,
or reduce them 10 silence, before any decisive
step in neY direction could be taken. The
advocates of this view point trinmphantly TO
the favor he has shown to the Credit Mobilier,
which Is only gigantic form of association for
industrial operations; to the indulgence he has
always given Emile de Girardin, his private
friend and associate, and the advocate Of the
broadcast practical social unity; and finally to
the subtle efforts he is making to break up the
Pope's temporal supremacy in Italy. They say
that he is the secret mover of the agitation in
England and Piedmont on this subject; and that

the intelligent Catholics, and at all events it
