ILLNESS OF LADY FRANKLIN-A cable
dispatch from London few days ago
announced the illness Of Lady Frank
lin. who, in her old age. remembers the
kindly response Of the American people
to her appeals in behalf Of her husband
in years gone BY, and now asks the
prayers Of the same sympathetic people
IN the dark hour which seems to be
closing upon her. For more than thirty
years Lady Franklin held herself true
to the memery of'the great explorer.
and, until certain tidinga Of bis fate amid
thNArctic SHOWS had come to ber she
hoped against hope for his return, and
llabored with q zeal and intelligence
which has never been surpassed She
was constant to her lord not only till
his death, but labored constantly to
clear up the mystery Of his fate. So
great was her faith, observes an ex-
change. so unceasing her endeavors. so
high and noble her undertaking. that
she enlisted, in her work the sympathies
Of the whole world For nearly fifteen
years she was unable to obtain even
clue to the fate Of the distinguished cap
tain whose name she bore. Two Amer
lean expeditions. aided by her purse
and full ofthe grand purpose which in
spired her own breast, had sailed in
vain to find some tidings Of the lost ex-
plorer. Atilast another American ex-
pedition--Captain McClintock' k's-the
fruit Of her own pious ard pathetic ap-
peals. brought her news which, though
It disappointed her hopes and confirmed
her fears, set at rest the doubt which
filed her soul with sgony She knew.
at least. thatl,Sir John Franklin was
dead. and secured for all her pains and
all that long and agopizing suspense a
brief record Of his fate. sad as that re-
cord was. es'' '''e = ''''' : - ''''' ~

~ THB CRoPs AND THEIR PEsrs. While
from the Southern country the crop
prospects are reported good both as to
cotton and corn, and in our Middle
State section there is injury from
drought. the crops in the West have
been subjected to somewhat peculiar
discouragements this season from the
prevalence Of Insects The grassbop-
per and the potato bug have almost
created a panic in some parts Of the
country. Then came an alarm from
Kansas City, whence it was reported
that terrific storm of wind, rain and
hail had done great damage to the
crops, leaving millions Of toads to con-
tinue the work - If this is the genuine
toad. he is a blessing in disguise. -.
Nothing is better known than the fond
ness Of the toad for insects. Intelli-
gent gardeners put them into hot houses
to destroy ants and other insects and
larvae injurious, to choice plants. It is
even said that entomologists procure
by their means rare and otherwise On.
attsinable beetles, which they can be
made to disgorge without difficulty.
It's to be hoped that the Kansas
farmers will deal gently with their new
visitors, for their arrival may be dis
covered to have precious jewel in
its head, !" if it discloses an appetite for
grasshoppers and potato bugs. II there
had not been so much indiscriminatc
destruction at the West Of prairie chick.
ems and birds which feed upon destruc-
tive insects, it is probable there would
not be so much complaint now Of the
ravages of locusts and beetles. Let
the toad have chance to speak for
himself before be is exterminated 4

People often wonder where all
the hair comes from that composes
the wavy tresses, and such things,
pinned on the human head. The
largest mandatory of it in the
world is at Wetzlar, in Germany.
Here the travelling collectors of
hair bring their wares, and so ex-
tensiVe are these transactions that
it is often contained in bales of
three or four hundred pounds
each. The locks are of every
shade, from raven black to haxen
blonde coarse as horse hair, and
fine as silk. It is cleansed by
boiling. Good brown hair is
worth seventy-five dollars pound.
The highest priced hair is pure
white; every long hair of that kind
is worth a half cent. The most
valuable of natural hues is pale
gold, a switch of which is worth
one hundred dollars, even at
wholesale price. An unparalleled
braid of light brown hair, measur-
ing six feet in length, is to be seen
at Wetzler, which is not to be sold,
but reserved for the great Ameri-
can Centennial Exhibition in
Philadelphia in 1876.

Springs was made on the 18th of
April. For the first two hundred
miles along the McDougall Range
there were pasture and water, but
beyond nothing save spenifex
grass and ridges of sand. The
natives were shy and timid, and
are described as the lowest in the
scale of humanity. Owing to the
great scarcity of water, the eXplor-
ers determined to catch q native,
if possible, and. by keeping him
without water, they hoped to COM
pei him to direct them to some To-
cal spring. Once they caught a
girl, and tied her by the neck to a
tree; but she gnawed through the
rope and escaped, much to the
discontinue of the thirsty travel

means by the end they were de-
signed to accomplish. These ma

tain, "the men pass the shank

noses, and are in full dress; as to
the women, he would say nothing,
as there was nothing to say" No
animals but camels could have
taken the party, since there was
not blade of grass for hundreds
of miles. Seven of these faithful
beasts were eaten by the travellers,
who were often without q morsel
of food save this meat, which was
so tough and dry that sit never

nine months, for the latter three
of which they had very little food
but camel-meat scraped off the
bones and tied in strips on bush
es. Finally they had to make q
rush for the Oakover river, q dis
lance of one hundred and sixty

river it was dry. There was only
two camels left and none of the
men could walk a hunderd yards,

There is no Islander in an all al

SANDER soaks into the mind as
water into low and marshy places,
where it becomes stagnant and
Observation-Disclosures.
Soft-buzzing SANDER; silky
moths, that eat an honest name
Thompson.
It is pretty general rule, that
the naedisdnte is a termagant in
her house hold; and as for our
own sex, in nine cases out of ten,
the evil tongue belongs TO disap-
pointed man.-Bancroft.
Where it concerns himself, who
is angry at a SANDER makes it true.
Ben Jonson.
In all currency, whenever the
forger Of the lie is not to be found,
the injured parties should have q
right to come on any Of the indoors
ers.-Sheridan.
There would not be so many
open mouths if there were not so
many open ears.-Bishop Hall.
The surest method against
scandal, is to live it down by per-
severance in well-doing, and by
prayer to God, that he would cure
the distempered mind of those who
traduce and injure us.-Boer-
have.
How frequently is the honesty
and integrity of a man disposed of
by smile or shrug! How many
good and generous actions have
been sunk into oblivion by q DIS
trustful look, or stamped with the
imputation of proceeding from bad
motives, by q MYSTERIOUS and seas
enable whisper.-Sterne.
If SANDER be a snake, it is q
winged one. 1t flies as well as
creeps.-Douglas Jerrold.
No sword bites so fierce as an ev-
il tongue.-Sir p. Sidney.
AS by hattery n man opens his
bosom to his mortal enemy; so by
detraction and SANDER he shuts
the same to his best friends
South.
There is nobody so weak Of i
yention that cannot make some lit
tie stories to villify his enemy
Addison.
The best way is to SANDER Val
entine with falsehood, cowardice,
and poor descent-three things
that women highly hold in hate
Shakespeare.
The proper way to check SANDER
is to despise it; attempt to over
take and refute it, and it will out
run you.,-AleX Dumas.
What indulgence does the world
extend to those evil-speakers who,
under the mask of friendship, stab
Unfortunately with the keen,
though rusty blade of slander!-
Madame Roland.
Have patience awhile; ISLANDERS
are not long-lived. Truth is the
child of Time; ere long she shall
appear to vindicate thec.-Kcnt.
SANDER is perhaps the only vice
which no circumstance can palli-
ate, as we'll as being one which we
are most ingenious in concealing
from ourselves.-Massillon.
SANDER, whose whisper over the
worlds diameter, as level as the
cannon to its blank, transports his
poisoned acknowledgements.
When the tongue of SANDER
stings thee, let this be thy comfort
they are not the worst fruits on
which the wasps alight.-Burger.
