AN ExpRaIsacE OF MARIE Rozg.

Marie Roze contributes q page to con-
temporary memoirs which proves that the
life of prima donna is not altogether
happy one. She had but recently made her
debut in Paris il 1870. Letters from I'M
known worshipers bombarded her from all
sides. All Paris, in fact, was in raptures
over the charming singers Creme Hor-
Tense" Bonapartist revival. The very
first night she reaped such crop of letters
OF alteration as served to light weeks fires.
The court was enchanted with the success
of the opera, and Mile Ross was accorded
the honor of singing at tho Tuileries. 1t
was the night of March, 1870, made mem
orable by the cipher dispatch to Napoleon,
as he sat listening to the diva. informing
him of King Williams studied rebuff Of the
French Minister, Benedette, ander the lime
trees at Ems. Returning home, Mile. Roze
found letter from a well. known Mar
quis, declaring his passion and threat
enipg to destroy himself should che
prove obdurate. In the confusion Of
the declaration of war she had forgotten
the sanguinary lover, when one night,
at the popular concerts given Ia aid of the
National Guard she received another APP
peal, this time conjuring her to meet the
Marquis in the middle of the Bots de Bou-
logne at certain hour of the night. In
case of failure she would be met the first
time she left her apartments and her face de-
stroyed with vitriol. Mortified, the singer
sent the letter to the police. They directed
her to attend the rendezvous, snd when
the ardent lover appeared he was seized by
body of gendarmes aad hurried to st.
Lazare. This was not the end of the ad-
venture. While the Pruasisns were be-
sieging Paris the persistent Marquis made
himself known again, writing laconically to
the terrified prima donna, Amour on
vitriol. have sworn to have You or dis
figure you, and l will do it. That very
night, as she sat in her room, noise was
heard on the wall. a man could be seen
climbing to the balcony, but just as he
reached it a sentinel fred, and the Marquis
fell to the ground dead. Mile Roze de-
clines to tell the name, but the painter De
Melville declares that be knew him.

STREET SIGNs IN Punishable from
clean and well-kept streets Paris sets an
example that American cities ought to
follow, writes the correspondent OF the
Springfield Republican, and this is in hav.
ing upon every corner blue sign with the
name OF the street painted upon it in plain,
white letters. This adds greatly to the
facility and satisfaction of going about the
city, and enc does not have to go circling
around lamp post as in New York, to
read the name of street that has been.
perhaps, partially washed of. Then. in
particularly wide streets, the name is often
put upon the lamp post in addition-nos
on the globe, but upon small blue and
white sign suspended just below the lamp.
The peculiar colors and the regularity in
shape and appearance of these signs attract
the eye at once, and the stranger is saved
the trouble of asking questions which, in
New York, is so often necessary to find out
the name Of street. 1t is strange that
the American metropolis should not adopt
Paris fashion of 50 much worth and i'm.
portance.

Grating the Grape.

There are many old vineyards of the COM
mon Mission craps in the State that it would
pay well 20 graft into better and more profit
able varieties The bes. time for grating the
grapevine is, in average seasons, in the month
of March, when the sap is flowing quite
freely. The best mode of grating is to dig
the soil away from the root of the vine to be
grated, about six inches below the surface,
and at a good straight place in the main stock
saw it off again; then, with wedge prepared
for the purpose, split this stock, and, having
prepared the cutting or scion TO be set in. by
making the butt-eud wedged-shaped, set it in
the split so that the bark Of the scion ani the
bark of the stock will join. Set one scion on
eaca edge Of the stock, SO that when the
wedge is taken out. the pressure Of the stock
will be about equal on each. Having pulser-
izsd the soil removed well, shovel it back
about the ro]ts and the graft, ard the work
is completed. The second season these gratis
will bear. and probably produce more
valuable crop than the old vines ever did.
One year only is lost. and good and profit.

sition. are apt to meet it and become pur-
chasers. In fact, all the past dry seasons IL
this State have, in this respect. resulted IN
about as much good as injury TO the general
stock and wool interests. They have tended
TO break up the large herds and hocks and
large range, and increase the number of
owners, thereby introducing really better
and more profitable system of stock and wool
culture To individual stock-owners dry
season may seem an injury, but to the gen.
eral interest and to the State nothing is lost
by such o season. And here we may remark
what We neglected to do while speaking OF
wheat culture-the experiences of the past
has shown that once in while dry season
in this State results in a benefit TO general
agriculture, by teaching people the wisdom
of resorting to g more mixed and general
culture.
On the whole California is on much
stronger and sounder foundation, 80 far as
her agricultural interests are concerned, than
she ever was before when threatened with
dry season. And we may make the same re-
mark in reference to al exceptionally wet
season, while q medium season is surer to
bring with il greater agricultural prosperity
than either extreme. Still we are every year
getting into position where neither extreme
can very greatly injure the State in this re-
spect. Very few States are so favorably stu
ated in this respect. Our great variety of
soils and climates give us great advantages,
and tend to reduce threatened extreme sea-
son to one Of mean resUltr.
An Anticipated Rise in the Low Lands.
Since 1876 we have had more than average
wet seasons. and the seasons have been later
than those previously experienced since 1850.
As a consequence the lands along the large
rivers, and about the delta Of these rivers,
have been under water later in the spring,
and their owners have had pretty hard time
to make their cultivation profitable. Though
last season was very wet one, and though
the heavy rains came late in January and in
February, sill the season was early to the
low lan5s, because the snow in the mountains
melted and ran off with the February rains,
and the rainfall for March and April was
light. Two years ago we had IA inches of
rain in April, and the highest water of the
season occurred On the 16sh of that month,
consequently the season was practically worse
than blank TO farmers on the river bottoms.
They had their crops all in. and were about
to commence cutting hay when tbs water
came up and ruined all. When ths water
receded in May and June it was too lateto
resow and replant. If the signs of the present
season are not deceptive We will this year ex-
perence one of those exceptionally good years
for the low-river farmers, and hence we say
their lands will be on the rise.

THE VINE INDUSTRIES.

A dry season has no threats for the vine
and its products. There is but one discourage
ing feature in connection with the vine inter-
es,s likely TO grow out of dry sesson-all
others will rather be helped than injured by
the drought. We refer to the new vineyards
set out this spring. A dry season will be IN.
favorable to securing good stands from the
cuttings. Wsen possible, irrigation, in con-
junction with thorough cultivation, should be
rssortsd to and practiced. II impossible to
irr gate, then greater attention should be
gwen to the cultivation of TIE newly planted
vineyards. Wine is always better made in a
dry teason than in a wet one. The VINES are
healthier, aad the grapes, though perhaps not
so large, are sweeter, and the wine ripens up
quicker and richer in dry seasons than In wet
ones Mildew and other injurious diseases
are less liable to attack the vines, and while
the vines themselves may not make as much
wood, they give more of their strength to the
fruit. As to raisin-making perhaps with
less water the berries may not be so large,
but as before remarked they will be sweeter,
and less liable TO be injured by disease, as
mildew. Whenever irrigation can be resorted
to during the time of the swelling of the
grapes, better raisi s can be secured in dry
season than in a wet one. Orr State is SUI
perior for the wine industries on account of
the dryness Of its summer and fall climate,
and hepcs We may entertain no fears for the
result Of these industries in dry season, If we
look well to cultivation and care in handling
and manipulating the vines and fruit and
wine

Parasol Ants.

OF the parasol ants at Trinidad, a
writer in The London Field says: In
the afternoon, after arriving at the
island in search of the cashew nuts and
fruit, l found the path leading through
the thick forest in many places actually
covered with the cashews which had
fallen from the trees on either sides.
1t is a delicious fruit, sometimes of a
red and sometimes of yellow color
with the ki0ney-shaped seed on the
outside instead of inside, like other
fruits. This latter is roasted. and is
esteemed a delicacy by many people,
but if not carefully prepared is apt to
cause blisters on the lips. We mad no
difficulty in filling our baskets with as
many cashews as we required, and
were about returning to the boat when
one of Mr.. BIS SONS, who had been
some little distance away from US saun-
teriug about in the brush, called to me
to come back, and, on going to where
he was, he pointed to what seemed a
broad BAND of moving leaves right
across the path, and, on looking more
closely, | saw we had met with one of
those enormous swarms of the para
sol' ants which are SC destructive to
plantations in the tropics. They were
crossing from one side Of the wood to
the other, and we're travelling in a
column of more than foot and half
in width. and, as each insect carried in
its mouth piece of leaf, which entire
ly covered the body, they presented a
singular appearance, like Lilliputian
grove IN motion, and, although we
watched them for some time, still they
came, their numbers seeming to be
inexhaustible. Nothing can turn them
from their course, and, although they
may be destroyed by the thousands,
enough will swarm upon the intruder
to make him repent interfering with
them. On the mainland of South
America l have known a fruit tree
