THE FROST IN THE EAST.

THE FROST IN THE EAST.
From letter from Hon. w. w. Phelps.
on his way to Washington. dated June 10th,
We extract the following
II suppose you have heard by the news
papers. Of tho destructive ravages Of tho
frost, through Ohio, Western Pennsylvania
and New York, and parts Of Indiana and
Illinois. In many places in Ohio the coun.
try looks - if it was burned over. The very
grass is killed. The trees look, in many pla.
ces, Is if it wasin November. The wheat
is mostly destroyed. Same with rye. Oats
injured. Corn cut down, &c. The dsstruc-
ton is general, nearly complete, and ex-
tends for nearly thousand miles. The loss
will run up to millions Of dollars. Flour has
rapidly advanced in price-all that was to
be sold having been purchased by the farm
ers for their own bread. In two days, it
advanced al through the injured districs, So
per barrel. The full extent aud amount Of
the damage is not yet ascertained.

CAMP TENT OF NAPOLEON III


The camp tent of the Emperor Napoleon
which preceded him to Italy was made by
Alexis Godil!ot and is white and blue strip
ed tent cloth doubled. Its height is about
fifteen feet. The interior is divided into
three conpartments-a saloon, bed room
and dressing room. Doors in the cloth per-
init passage from one room to the other
and windows are pierced for ventilation.-
An iron bed, folding seats and three small
tables-one for the toi'et-compose the fur
niture Of the imperial residence. The tent
is remarkable for its perfect finish, the facil.
ity with which it can he put up and taken
down and it's general adaptation to the pur-
pose for which it was designed. 1t was
made five years ago for the war in the
Crimea, and started on its journey as far as
Marseilles, but the Emperor changed his
mind then, and the tent has lain since in
the Tnil' Ferries. But what is curious, the
iron bed now in his tent, the toilet fu, niture
and the service in silver. BELONGED to the
tirst emperor, and accompanied him in all
his campaigns, and these campaigns were SO
many vctories. Louis Napoleon is going
to throw himselfon the destiny ofthese victo-
rious wash-hasins and sauce pans. lie hopes
on the fields Of Marengo and Lodi, to sleep
upon and d.aw inspiration from the same
bed on which dreamed and schemed his
great uncle and on which he planned
the great battles that have made the name
Of Bonaparte so illustrious. As supersti-
ton there are more absurd ones than this
Of Louis Napoleon. He wisely calculates
it's effects upon the minds Of his men.
