Now is the Time to Subscribe.

The ECLECTIC MAGAZINE is, as its name in
dicates, a selection from other magazines and
periodicals. These selections are carefully
made each month, from the entire range of
foreign periodicals. In this respect it is
entirely unlike other nionttlies, and has no
rival. The following are some of the works
from which selections are made:
London Quarterly, Reuue des Deur
.Nondes, British Quarterly, London Society,
North British Reuietc, Bentieys Miscellany,
Popular Science Reuie,c, CornhM Magazine
Saturday ReoieW, Fraser's Magazine,

London National Rerie,v, Macmillan, st.
James, Sunday Magazine, Good Words,
Reacer FortnighHy Reuie,U, BiackwOod,
While our own literature is indispensable,
yet knowledge of the literature of other
countries is equally essential to all who
would keep pace with the progress Of the
human mind. The main features of the work
will remain the same, but some changes will
be made, adapted, it is believed, to the pres
ent wants of the public.
We have also arranged to secure choice
selections from the FRENCH, GERMAN, AND
OTHER CoNTIENTAL PERIODICALS. translated
especially for the Eclectic, and it is hoped
that this new feature will add greatly to the
variety and value Of the work.

A ROMAN STREET DISCOVERED IN Eng
LANp.-Near Basingstoke, in England, the
ancient Roman and British capital of
southern England, some excavations have
recently been made which have laid bare
Roman street, with another smaller one
running from it. Two large Roman houses,
with tesselated pavcmcnts, the site Of an
amphilheatre, aud a portion Of the walls
surrounding the ancient capital, have also
been dug ont. Several coins of periods an
terror to the Christian era have been
found, and brick with parts of an inscrip-
ton upon it. England has, in many parts,
relics of the Reman rule in that country.
and the exposure of an entire city will, it
is thought, soon he added to the other Gu
riosities OF the days of the Caesars. The
walls of the city, portion of which have
been exposed, arc said To have been three

TR.INs.-Our western exchanges are all
more or less excited on the subject of grass
hoppcrs, which are represented as hume

Grass. The insects arc said To resemble
somewhat our common prairie graSshoppcr,
with some characteristics Of the locust.
They are travelling east, and destroying
everything vegetable along the route.

blcvty. BY the last of this week they
will have DESTROYED the last vcStigc of cul-

on prairie grass and sod production.
John X. Griffin, ESD, who has just re-
turned from Junction City, Kansas. that
that section is overrm with grasshoppers.
They come in Swarms from the West SO
thick that the sun is hidden wherever they
appear. They arc faring sumptuously,
stripping corn-ficlds and eating up the
grass. weeds. and leaves on the trees. The
Lawrence Tribune, we also notice, makes
mention Of their advent, and says their ra-
wages have 50 far been confined to tracks
twelve miles wide and three hundred miles
long. Some idea of the vast quantity OF
these insects may he inferred from the fact
of their having got on the railroad track OF
the Union Pacific road in such numbers as
to cause the wheels to slip Oh the rails.
The freight train due at Wyandottee eve
ming before last was actually detained seve'
raj hours in consequence OF the grasshop-
