GRAu OpERA.-To say that Grau's Opera
troupe is the best one that has ever visited
Keokuk, and that it is composed Of talented
and accomplished artists, would be to repeat
what we have already said, and what the
public already know.
We feel confident that all who attended
the entertainment npon the occasion Of the
troure's last visit to tbs city, will 70 again
to night, and each evening during its present
stay. And we are also satisfied that the per-
sons to whom We refer are sufficient, in point
Of number, to insure crowded house, at
each entertainment. We cannot speak in
terms Of too high praise Of this troupe and
its able manager. They are worthy of any
commentator that we may see 6t to bestow
on them.
Large audiences have been entertained BY
them at Davenport and Rock Island, and We
trust and have reason to belivs that their res
ception at this place will be such An one as
they deserve.

The Advertising Agency which is sending

and the fact that it nov controls greater

SEA BIRDs.-The question is often
asked, where do sea birds obtain fresh
water to slake their thirst But We
have never seen it satisfactorily answered
till few days ago. An old skipper, with
whom we were conversing on the subject,
said that he had frequently seen these
birds at sea, far from any land that could
furnish them with water, lowering round
and under a storm-cloud, chattering like
ducks in hot day at a pond, and drink,
ing in the drops of rain as they fell They
will smell rain squa Il a hundred miles,
or even farther off, and scud for it with
almost inconceivable swiftness. How
long sea birds can exist without water is
only matter of conjecture but proba-
bly, their powers Of enduring thirst are
increased by habit, and possibly they can
60 without it for many days, if not for
several weeks.

BEAUTY.-What is beuty after all
Each eye makes it for itself. You think
Smiths lady love raw-boned and hard.
featured. he calls her magnificent
woman, and wonders what you see in
your little angel with her baby face and
stature. So it is, the world over and
yet, we would each give something to be
beautiful after our own fashion. How
the powders and lotions which are to be-
stow upon poor bilious mortals skins of
satin and snow, and the hair dyes, and
pomades, and cosmetics of all sorts sell,
we need not mention. to prove the facts.
In France, old ladies are even being made
over, at the cost of half their fortunes.
Heaven keep me from ever catching o
glimpse of one of those enameled, dyed
and miserable old creatures after tho rem.
ovation, by the way.
Yes, we all want to be beautiful and.
if only our ideas of beauty were what
they should be, we might accomplish our
desires easily. Meekness and love make
all faces pleasant. Were we good we
should be beautiful.
We all feel this. There are plain fea-
lures SO charming with the sparkle Of
good humor that we love them. There
are blemished faces SO sweet that they
are pleasanter to look upon than the
most perfect. After all, it is in the ex-
preston that the actual charm lies. So
that were some one to promise the Secret
OF Beauty for twenty-five cents and post
paid envelope, he would scarcely be an
imposter should he return the golden
rule nth instructions to learn and prac-
tice it. lfw we only could do this earn
estly and truly for one generation, the
next might wonder whether it were not a
fable that such a thing as ugliness was
ever known upon old earth.--Emeltue

"A BEAUTIFUL STREAM The Silver
Spring creek, near Ocala; Florida, has
waters clear as crystal, that delude the
senses, and we have leaned over the side
OF boat to pick up twig at the bottom
which IS seemingly only few inches
from us, but in reality is.twelve or four
teen feet away. This creek is very deep,
and IN some places the plummet was sunk
100 feet without touching bottom. In
the center of the basin the boat should be
lett tor time montionless, then it seems
to the senses as if we were resting on the
still air. The MONDAY sun and the
peculiar qualities of the water produce at
the lowest depths the pristine colors Of
the rainbow, which seem to gamb ol on
masses of FURNISHED silver, the whole re-
sembllng transformation scene in some
gaudy spectacular drama The tablets
away below, looking like masses of white
limestone, perhaps the coral rocks to
which Florida owes its origin. Here
debouches, from deep abyss, large
subterranean river, from where coming
none can tell Luxuriant and perpetual
verdure covers the shallow around the
spring, and seems to glide about rather
by more yolition than by any other effort
w hat would have been said and believed
OF the beauties and wonders of this spring
It it had only but once been seen by a
few Greeks of Romans IN the palmy days
of their old mythologies The river is
only twenty-five miles from the shores of
the Atlantic. 1854

SURVEYS OF JERUSALEM AND SINAI.
-Colcnel Sir Henry James, Director
General of the British Ordnance Survey.
reports that the expense incurred by pub
fishing the survey of Jerusalem will soon
be more than covered by the profits aris-
ing from the sale of copies. The demand
especially for the photographs, has been
so great that it has been difficult to meet
it during the winter months, when very
few photographs can be taken. The sur
very of Jerusalem having given SO much
satisfaction to the public, the Rev, Pierce
Butler, of Ulcombe Rectory, Kent, pro.
posed that survey of Mount Sinai, and
OF considerable portion, if not the whole
peninsula of Sinai should be made under
the direction of Sir Fl. James, with q
view to identify the route taken by the
lsraelites, and the places mentioned in
the Bible. Mr.. Butler had obtained the
sanction of the Secretary of State for War
to the undertaking, and had issued circu
lars which brought subscriptions from
several noblemen and gentlemen desirous
OF seeing this survey made, and he hac
paid his passage to Alexandria, with the
intention of proceeding to Cairo ant
Suez for the purpose of making prelimin
ary arrangements for the expedition
when he was suddenly taken i'll, and die,
in February, on the very day we was t.

THE OLD MORMON TEMPLE IN ONO.
"A few days since, we visited the Nor
mon Temple, it Kirkland, which we
found to be in much better state of pre-
servation than we had anticipated. The
huge and once elegant structure, so
famous in the history of Mormonism, is
now the property Of a wealthy Mormon
residing in Chicago, having, as we learn,
been sold with the land on which it stands,
at Sheriff's sale, for the nominal price
of $3.50. Some 81 500 have been expend-
ed in repairs; so that the building, al
though iespoiled of its original elegance,
still presents very cleditable appearance,
and may be made to endure, a monument
of mistaken zeal of its founders, for many
years to come. The houses once. owned
and occupied by Joseph Smith and Sid
ney Rigdon respectively, are still sand
ing in the neighborhood, as are also some
other buildings, whose associations are
more or less memorable But few of the
faithful romain, The most prominent being
