That Territory, resulting from the long continued

had been endeavoring, by renewing the seed. to in
! sure some sembance of crops, but they had been
unsuccessful, everything being dried up and killed
! as often as the trial made. The season is now
too far advanced for them to hope for success even
should their be rain, and great amount of suffering
! Is expected to result. There some small dis
! trcts, however, where the drOuth has not been so
! severe, where scanty crops may be obtained, and
these, together with the old left over from last
year, it is hoped will be sufficient to keep the in
| habitants from absolute starvation.

The Prince of Wales, it is said, has huge hands
and feet, and at the grand ball at Quebec wore
pair of very ill fitting white kid gloves which were
quite soiled. Considering that New York Alder
men spend thousands of dollars for faultess yellow
kids wherein to receive yellow F'Japs" this is quite
inexcusable in a white prince. But what comfort
it must be to men and women with big hands and
feet to find that a real prince may be similarly
afflicted
PMPLY WITH PRoSPERlTY.-Mr Thackeray is ma
king an of himself by showing a sensitiv eness

He has forgotten the time when he used to write of
men much more severely than he has ever been
written of; but now that he has grown rich, and
has name, he turns up his broken nose at men who
do what he did lang syne. As Mr.. Dickens
would say, he is pmply with prosperity Traveller.
