DANGER ISLArD

FAR south, in the Indian Ocean, Writes a
traveller in the midst of almost eternal surf
and spray, rises what is appropriately termed
Danger Island. OF all the lonely spots on the
globe whose existence has been ascertained
this is obabIy the most lonely. Once only
has it been known to have been visited by
man. The sea for many hundred miles rolls
and flashes over bottom, till arriving at n
certain degree Of latitude, the Aoor of rock
abruptly terminates, and the ocean becomes
in a moment Of unfathomable depth. On the
very edge Of this abyss stands Dsogcr Island
which the least tonch an earthquake or an
s,nuasual stroke of hurricane may some day
tOppie s-cr INFO the bo,tomless gulf The
pillows necessarily fret and moan against the
cliffs of Danger Island, which on all sides dc.
+cend sheer into the deep. 30 as to appear
from distance perfectly inaccessible.
A surveying ship. traversing the ocean in
al directions for scientific purposes once ap-
preached shis wild rock. After sosing to q
considerable distance along sNe foot of the
precipices, one gentleman discovered small
fissure, through which he felt confident they
could climb TO the summit and the boat being
pushed quite close to fhe rocks, fwb or three
Of the most daring landed, and after no Sigh,
toll and peril. reached the top. The prospect
which then presented itself was truly extra
ordinary. Rendered green a. an emerald by
the agency Of hidden springs, the whole sur
face of the island was thickly stsewn with eggs
of innumerable ocean birds, which, raising
from the task Of incubation, formed a canopy
of futtering wings overhead. The eggs were
OF all colors-white, light chocolate and ceru-
lean blue, dotted with brown or crimson, or
turquse, or black. Here and there little bills
protruded from shells; and the mothers,
slough scared away for a moment by the un.
usual apParation Of men, soen aligh,cd near
their young.

A NOBLE FER :. YMAN.

Three miles from Demopolis, on French
creek, Alabama, ferry was once kept by a
gentleman whose elegant manners, corffman-
ding appearance and splendid eyes attracted
the attention Of all who passed that way.
The man was Colonel Nicholas RaOul. who
had accompanied the Emperor Napoleon in
his banishment to Elm. When the Emperor
left that island it is said that Colonel Roaul
commanded his advance guard Of two hun
dred grenadiers. In Alabama Colonel Raoul
was SO poor iht he fsrried passengers over
French creek himself Ia sglH Of this scene
of his daily TOLL in an humble cabin, lived hi:
wife and children. Madame Raou, who
had once been a marchioness, and also maid
of honor to Queen Caroline, under King Nh
rat. was a brilliant beauty. From the glitter
Of royalty, with its robes Of velvet and IFS beds
of down. she had turned aside to share heI
husbands fate. No wonder the traveller
gazed upon her queenly form with reverence
or that one felt honored at being ferried acros:
the stream by the illustrious Colonel Raoul.

IT is very insulting to commence 10 advise
person for his good, and to so shape every
word of your advier, that any person having
an ounce Of brains, can plainly understand
that your zeal purpose is, not to serve your
friend but to induce him:;o do, or not to do,
something which you tave the deepest inter.
est that he should do, or should not do. as the
case may he. Shameless as such conduct is,
still it is melancholy truth that il is often prac-
ticed. We thinx few insults can be offered
70 any one, that are greater than that Of adj.

Says the For Worth (Texas) Standard, O
the Sth: The whole country about For,
Worth is covered by grasshoppers. They
came from the west in migratory swarms Of
millions. about ten days ago. Multitudes Of
them lighted, literally covering the prairie,
yards and streets, while others have merriam,
continued their Rght eastward. They are
now depositing thei' eggs, preparatory to
which they bore hole few inches in dept,
in the ground, in which their ovae are depos-
tied. Those who are familiar with this spe.
cies ofsrasshoppers say that these eggs will
hatch out next fall with the production of 9th
er millions ofinsects which will not rem$n
here, but take their flight to other parts of the
world. If the swarms now in the country
should live till fall wheat begins to grow, we
should think the; their presence would be at
tended with destruction or injury to the mex
crop Of wheat

For the life of US. we can not see why men
become so badly scared as they have been
over the panic. when there has not been a
dollar OF properly destroyed, and when a
bank billisju>t as good to day as it was a year
ago. We believe that to the business aud
commercial interests Of the country the pauic
will ultimately be beneficial. 1t will efec,
for some time railway bonds and like forms Of
investment, but the millions Of money which
is seeking investment will necessarily in
avoiding fiose embark in substantial values
grain and meats, and other legitimate and safe
branches of trade. The cotton and wheat OF
America are needed in Europe, and the money
is there to pay for them, and is but natural 10
expect an increased INV Of money into those
channels of tr"de consequent on the collapse
of stocks and available articles Of investment.
This is the bright Il lie Of the picture, and the

many suppose. Already large shipments Of
currency have set in from The East TO the W est.
and the express companies are taking hun.
dreds of thousands every day to all paris Of

Scott has telegraphed his success in negotia-
ting f,rty-two ont Of the seventy million dol
lars Of the Southern Pacific loan. The Penn.
sylvania stock tumbled TO forty.two in London
under the panic He and his friends bought
in at once. Under the action of hat corpora
tior in anticipating notes and interest, duly
cablrd to London by President Thompson the
stock went up over ten per cent. This was
a favorable and profitable investment for Scott,
and greatly aided his success.
