The Wrong Shoes.

A Nashville paper gives the following
sample of social amenities in that sec
ton. GA Nashville youth asked his
sweetness to go out to some entertain
ment with him last week, but she
declined, on the ground that her shoes
were out of repair, whereupon the
young man offered to have them mend
ed if she would send them around next
day. A lady friend who overheard the
conversation, secured well worn pair
of brogans belonging to her colored
cook, and had them conveyed to the
enamered young man early the next
morning. The latter was astOnished, as
he had been under the impression that
his Dulcinea was the possessor of the
neatest foot in Nashville Cor pair of
them, for that matter), but bravely
concealing his feelings of disappoint-
ment, he took them to the nearest
shoemaker, and left them with a re-
quest that they be mended atonce. After
the shoes had been repaired, the young
fellow escorted them to the home Of
the dear one of his heart, expecting to
be overwhelmed with thanks. On the
contrary, half an hour of glib talking
on his part was required in order to
convince the young lady that he had no
intention of insulting her."

The Valley of the Pc.
rOIQ.

In letter to the Chicago Tribune,
Mr.. Joseph Medill says: "The valley
of the Pc extends from east to west
across the italian peninsula, from the
Apennines to the Adriatic-a distance,
on an air line, of nearly 800 miles
The width of the valley between the
mountain walls which bound the plain
averages about IS miles, and it con-
tains something like $4,000 square
miles Of land, as level and rich as the
prairies of Illinois. The mountain
slopes and valleys, which are cultivated
and densely populated, will add about
1000 square miles to the Pc valley
making in all 10000 square miles of
arabic land, or an area something
larger than the state of Indiana. On
this plain, and within these mountain
confines, there live and are subsisted
twelve millions of souls. This area is
scarcely as large as Ireland, but it sup
ports twice the population of that
thickly-inhabited island. It contains
as many people as the ten western
states, including Ohio and Wisconsin.
while it's territory is but the size of
the smallest of them. The ten western
states, if populated as densely as the
valley of the Pc, would contain 22O.-
100000 of inhabitan ts-that is to saw.
400 to the square mile. This valley
bears the same relation to the rest of
Italy, agriculturally speaking, that the
western states do to the whole union"

The Mississippi Levees.

The committee of Louisianians who
are in Washington to urge Congress to
assist in the reconstruction of the
levees Of the Mississippi, have made
the following statement to show the
condition of affairs in their state: The
levees of Louisiana are more than l 900
miles in length, and contain about
100000 Of cubic yards of earth. On
the Mississippi river, within Louisiana,
there are $50 miles of levees, contain
ing nearly 100000 of cubic yards,
and the natural wear and tear, includ-
in the winds and rains and caving
banks, necessitate the building of at
least 100000 of cubic yards of en-
bankment each year, even when no
crevasses occur. From the excessive
food Of this year, many of these levees
we're washed away, and it will require
about 3, 100000 Of cubic yards to close
the open places and repair the low
grade levees. Besides number of
large ones, there are many small crev-
asses, and works needed on the Atcha-
falaya, Lafourche, Ouachita and Red
rivers, which will exhaust the whole re-
sources of the state without touching
one of the aforementioned works, and
it is for these large levees that the gov
eminent aid is sought.

LOcusts in Algeria.

An Algerian paper, says the London
Echo, gives an interesting account of q
struggle between the farmers of the
colony and one of the most tremendous
swarms of locusts that have ever de-
scended upon the plains ofAlgeria. As
soon as the distant cloud of invaders
by the terrified agriculturists to prevent
the descent of the hungry myriads upon
their pastures, while on the other hand,
the locusts were equally determined to
alight and take refreshments. In order
to keep the insect host in the higher
strata of the atmosphere, where a
change of wind might at any moment
carry them away, the farmers lit fires
with damp weeds, and by collecting all
their kitchen utensils, ringing all the
bells, and shouting at the top of their
voices, they produced such concert
Of hideous sounds that, for a time, the
locusts preferred famine to the din,
and remained in the air but at length
hunger and fatigue overpowered them,
and they decided on Drawing the worst
and falling to the ground, when the
green fields and tress suddenly turned
yellow under the multitude which in
stantly covered them. All through the
night was heard one continuous and por-
tentous sound that of myriads of invisible
jaws engaged in mastication-and next
morning the battle recommended, but
the latest advices are of discouraging
nature, as they report that the locusts
are engaged not only in eating, but in
laying eggs.

Many observations have been made
lately by our natrralists as to the de-
tense which color supplies to animals
mares, rabbits, stays and goats possess
the most favorable shade for conceal
ing them in the depths of the forest
or III the fields. It is we'll known that
when the volunteer corps were enrolled
and the most suitable color for the rifle
men was discussed, it was supposed to
be green. Soldiers dressed in different
shades were placed in woods and plains,
to try which offered the best conceal
ment. Contrary to expectation, that
which escaped the eye of the enemy
was not green, but the fawn color of the
doe. Among hunting quadrupeds, such
as the tiger, the leopard, the jaguar,
and the panther, there is shade of skin
which man has always been anxious to
appropriate for his own use. The old
Egyptian tombs have paintings of ne
groes of Sudan, their loins girt with
the fine yellow skins for which there is
still great sale. AS the birds which
prey upon the smaller tribes, and fishes
like the shark, are clothed in dead
colors, SO as to be the least seen by
their victims.

Artificial Incubation,

A lady residing near the sisters hos
pital keeps half dozen or more hens,
and has been astonished at the strange
manner in which nest full of eggs
was Matched. A quantity of manure
had been thrown from the stable, and
some children heard young chickens in
this pile. They at once called the at
tention of their mother to the fact,
who, to solve the mystery, directed
that the heap be pulled down. When
this was done short distance from the
surface, cavity was discovered in
which were nine little chicks. The hen
had managed to make her nest in the
cavity in the heap, and after laying
eleven eggs, the opening had been
closed by the stableman piling on more
of the cleanings from the stable. The
warmth generated in the heap had in
cubated the eggs, and nine of the
eleven Matched out. This may be a
discovery which some one may turn to
account. Guardian.

POPE GREGORY AND THE PEAR
TREE.

Huge Bon Campagno was one OF the
gayest Of the gay children of the south.
He had archness and vivacity-a bright
eye and a ready tongue. He was the
favorite of the neighbors, and was pre-
destined by the monk who taught him
Latin to make him great figure in the
world. Hugo had formed close friend
ship with a youth about his own age
the son Of gardner, in all respects his
inferior, save in that plastic quality of
temper that nodded itself to the will of
others, and which, by it's docility, made
very freqently far deeper impression
on those who knew him than the more
apt and vivacious qualities of his
patronizing companion. However,
the two lads were firm friends, and in
the day dreams of boyhood, ere the
warm impulses of our nature become
chilled in the school of selfshness-
ere, in our progress through the world,
we imperceptibly imbibe so great a
portion Of its clay-the youths had but
one hope, saw but one fortune for both.
Wealth, if they gained any, was to be
equally shared by them honors, if
they came, must be participated by
either So dreamt they in the delicious
time of youth so lived they in one of
the loveiest spots Of Ital at village
some few miles from Bologna. The
world as yet lay before them, an undis-
covered country they saw it, as the
great navigator saw in his dreams, the
distant yet unknown land, halo of
glory was about. it was rich in fruit
and flowers, and spicy forests and mines
of gold.
At length the time arrived when this
romantic region was to be explored.
Hugo was to go into the world. At the
period of which we write, the church
was the surest road to honor: and HUI
go, as we have before implied, had that
keen and subtle temperament, that I'M
firing perseverance, that aptitude for
learning, which, in those days,
were considered the indispensable req
uisites for one who, in ostensibly de-
voting himself to God, sought to grasp
In temporal sway and who, as he bow
ed with seeming inward reverence to
the cross, leered with a miser's eye at
Mammon and his heaps. Hugo was
devoted to the church; he quilted his
native village, and, grown beyond
childish years, and having cast away
(" all childish things" he became
monk, and in his function pored over
that awful volume, so blotted with
crime, SO stained with tears, so con
