An Enxiish L.venaer Fi.Id.

There is one sight in old England that
is pleasant beyond measure, and that ID
a lavender field; it pleases from its in
trinsic beauty. The lovely color OF its
flowers all the silk-dyers are trying to
match" but can't exactly hit on the
shade. Then its .fragrance,-hai how
inimitable, as the sprays wave with the
breeze. In this little island, no less than
about go acres of its precious land is de-
voted to lavender farming. Each acre
yields say GOO pounds of flowers. Every
hundred pounds of flowers give up, BY
distillation, about one pound of the otto
of lavender; and thus we learn that there
is an average production of 700 pounds
of lavender otto annually. 1t requires
six ounces of this to make a gallon of
lavender water, so that Britannia and
her children and customers use and take
home with them the enormous quantity
of Il 900 gallons of this favorite spirit
The lavender farms Of England are situ-
ated at Mitchanl, in Surrey, and Hit
chen, in Hertfordshire. The lavender,
when in blossom, is resorted 10 by all the
bees for miles around. The sound of
their hum in such vast numbers is quite
enchanting; nor do the butterflies neg
lect to visit so luxurious feast, taste
of which appears to be particularly
grateful to them. The bees love for
lavender is SO excessive that, at the har-
vest time, as the sprays fall before the
sickle and are tied up in shaves, they
will follow it, even at sacrifice of life,
into the boiling still.

Spanish Proverbs.

He is rich man who has God for his
friend. He is the best scholar who has
learned to live well. A handful of moth
er wit is worth a bushel of learning. You
had better leave your enemy something
when you die, than live to beg of your
friends. Enjoy what little you have,
while the fool is looking for more. Say
ing and doing do not dine together
May you have good luck, my son, and a
wit will serve your turn. Gifts break
through stone walls. Go not to your
doctor for every all, nor to your pitcher
for every thirst. There is no better look
ing-glass than an old true friend. A
wall between two preserves friendship.
A creditor always has a better memory
than the debtor.

7 It will be remembered that the recent
earthquakes in South America began on
the. 18th of August, and on that day a
great ocean wave broke on the shores of
Peru. Onsthe 18th Of August the same
wave reached Lower California on one
side of the Pacific Ocean and Japan on
the other. On the l4th, 18th and 18th Of
August, as the telegraph informs US, the
same disturbance of the ocean was OBJ
served at the Sandwich Islands, the sea
rising and falling, for those three days,
three or four feet every ten minutes
Taking all these facts together, it would
seem that the point Of greatest intensity
in the ,con1motion Of the earth's crust
was somewhere in the Pacific Ocean,
midway between South America and the
Sand Wich Islands, since the tidal wave
reached those islands sooner than it did
California, and lasted longer, and was
observed az the latter place no sooner
than it was at Japan. That the convul-
sion was near the Sandwich Islands as il
was to South America, if not nearer, it
confirmed by the sinking Of the shore OF
Hawaii, and the cbntinuaucei of earth
quakes, in its .f.eighborhood. We are
told that the subsistence of Hawaii in
some places was from three to four, and
in others from six to seven feet, while at
Hilo the greatest subsidence noticed Vas
eight Inches. In Hiloss Pura, Kaufrol
one to five earthquakes occurred daily.
When we get uliaccounts ts from all parts
of the world of this terrible earthquake,
it will probably be found to have been
one of a wider extent than any which has
occurred in modern times.

associated with misery, and often vice
