The Great Pyramid.

Mr. J. 3. Bailey writes as follows with
reference to the desirability of exploring
the Great Pyramid:
Now that Great Britain is dominant at
Cairo, would il not be good plan TO clear
away the sand and rubbish from the base
of the Great Pyramid. right down TO its
rocky foundation, and try to discover those
vast corridors, halls and temple, containing
priceless curiositles and treasures with
which tradition IN all ages has credited
the Great Pyramid7 This wonderful huild-
ing, of such exquisite workmanship WAS

NEW INSECT PESTS.

An Eastern paper speaks of two pests
which have recently made their first APP
pearance there, and as all these injurious in
sects will sooner or later reach this coast,
their advent, even as far away as New York
State, is of interest. The exchange speaks
of them as follows: lone makes havoc
among the onion BEDS and the other at
tacks strawberry beds. So far as could be
judged from the young caterpillars, the one
so destructive to the onions in Orange
county, New York, appears to be the spe-
cies known as the greasy cut-worm. The
worms make hole in the ground, to
which they retire in the early morning,
and remain quiet during the day. AT night
they issue forth on their work of destruc-
ton, and those which do not climb cut off
young and tender plants just at the surface
of the soil. They feed upon the plant, and
often drag pieces of the leaves to their bur
rows. which leads to their detection. Upon
inquiring what had been done TO check the
insect in its destructive work, we learned
that plaster, lime, salt, ashes, Paris green
and secret poisonous preparation called
4 siug-shot had been psed, with but
little or no perceptible effect. The
most effective method was 10 col

SAN FIsAEcIsco, August is, 1885.
It is said that never in the history of San
Francisco vas Market street SO full of peo-
pie as during the procession Of General
Grants obsequies. A daily paper had sug-
gested, that to be in keeping with the coca
sion, women wear black garments. That
might have done few years ago when
black was fashionable fancy; but since
gay colors ere in vogue. and summer almost
over, the girls choose to display their pat
riotism by lighting up the gloom with
gorgeous array. Gazing from a building
top, down the packed lines of people, the
first thing arresting attention was the va
riety of parasols. In places nothing else
could be seen, and their hues were more
than those in rainbow. All day the
streets we're thronged with women in hand
some toilette, bent on seeing the men, who,
proud us peacocks of their uniforms and
trappings, tramped up and down the walk
for the express purpose OF being seen. The
procession made pleasing appearance,
with societies and bands in different colors,
but embraced no novelties. The feature
of it which attracted most attention was
that the school boys marched with q
soldierlike bearing and precision, far
exceeding that of any group of
men either civil or military. They
were in lines of twelve abreast.
and rope stretched across the street would
have struck each chest simultaneously, so
perfect and unVarying were their lines sus-
tanned. Evidently Young America was
bent on putting veterans to the husband
did it, too. After literary exercises in the
Pavilion, the different divisions returned
10 town at pleasure, taking smooth side
walks in preference to cobblestune streets
Going out there was universal solemnity,
heightened by strains of sacred or melan-
choly music and slow step. but coming
backing there was more of holiday APP
pearance, by lively airs and tripping march.
vE'RE BAND OF BROTHERS.
During the marching an incident oc-
CURED which indicated that the occasion
was the last link needed 10 complete long
chain which has for twenty years been
welding into mutual forgiveness the hearts
of old-time lovers, North and South
While the bands Joined in playing Dixie"
the Grand Army OF the Republic evoluted
into line with military salute as the party
OF ex-Contederate soldiers marched by
with heads uncovered. There was a sort Of
pathetic Sh-h-h" ran through the crowd
OF spectators, as though every body realized
from Witnessing this token of honest re-
gard that the Union had never been fully
consummated until that minute. As the
last Southron passed the blue line, the
bands changed to Star Spangied Banner
which could scarcely be heard for cheers
from men and women alike.

am so tired; fain would rest awhile.
Step backward from the turmoil and the care
And ceaseless troubles of q woman's life
Of which the world knows not. 1t only hears
The feeble echo of discomfort,
As some cowled priest in dark confessional
Liets to the n.eo c,llpd of the penitent.
My heart is faint beneath the weight OF woe.
My eyes grow heavy with their unshed tears,
sometimes think cannot bear the load
That will be mine thro' all the coming years.
For what is life? lovers vows grow cold
Ere blossoms in the bridal wreath can fade,
And children hold you only first the while
Their lips against your pulsing breast are laid.
The churchyard looks so cool and dark and still,
The dome above starry diadem;
envy much the resting dead within.
The song Of birds their only requiem;
And feel as if I'd gladly enter there,
Forever linger in it's shadows deep.
Where fragrant flower petals hutter down
And 1uose-hung trees constant vigil keep.
Beside the bridegroom death I'd lie me down,
Place in his own my worn and tired hand
The whilo my aching heart would cease to beat
And grow composed and still at his command.
All. then. dear friend when through the valley
shade
pass from sight, moan not above me, lest
You break my longed for slumber; only say.
Its better thus at last. she is at rest

| EDITOR CH1EP:
Great men have died before. Since the
war closed, warriors and statesmen have
passed away whose names have resounded
throughout the world. Time and again
our city has been shrouded in morning for
the nation's mighty dead. When Lincoln
fell and Carried died the metropolis OF the
nation was draped with the ensigns of woe.
New York has ever been ready to pay hor
proper tribute to the living and the dead.
But never before in her history has she been
| bowed with grief like that which saddens
her to- day. All along the great thorough
fares buildings arc draped from the roof
to tho sidewalk, and not with common
drapery usually used on occasions of mourn
| ing, but fne stuffs, rare and costly, such ae
| are only used for the greatest kings and
| potentates. Broadway from the Bowling
Green to its other extremity is one con-
tinuous pageant of morning; the designs
are elaborate and beautiful. But it is not
| alone in the palaces OF our merchant kings
! that tho ensigns Of griefs arc displayed;
| all through the bye streets where the labor
ing classes live, flags are at half-mast aud
mourning emblems tlutter from the win
dows.

York feels sensibly the honor which has
been accorded her, of guarding the old
hero's ashes, and there is no doubt that ere

that wealth can give, genius, or love and

Oh, birds that sing such thankful psalms,
Rebuklng human frettinR.
Teach us your secret of content.
Your science of forgetting.
For every life must have its ills
You, too, have times OF sorrow-
Teach us. like you, to lay them by
- And sing again Tomorrow;
For gems of blackest jet may yeHt
Within golden setting,
And he is wise who understands
The science OF forgetting.
Oh, palms, that bow before the gale
Until it's peaceful ending
Teach US your yieldiug, linked with strength
Your graceful art of bending;
For every tree must meet the storm,
Each heart encounter sorrow,
Teach uB, like you, to bow, that Wo
May stand erect tomorrow;
For there is siren 9Th in humble grace
Its wise disciples shielding
And no is strong who understands
The happy art OF yielding.
Oh, brook. which laughs oil night, oil day,
With voice of sweet seduction.
Teach us your art of laughing moro
At every new obstructioE;
For every life has eddies deep
And rapids tiercely dashing,
Sometimes through gloomy csVerns forced
Sometimes in sunlight nashlng;
Yet there is wisdom in your way,
Your laughing waves and wlmpiee;
Teach us your gospel built OF smiles,
The secret Of your dlnples.
Oh, oaks. that stand in forest eanka.
Tall strong, erect, and slightly,
Yonr branches arched in nOblest grace,
Your leaflets laughing lightly;
Teech us your firm and quiet strength,
Your secrets OF extraction
From Shiny darkness in the soil
Tho grace of life and action;
For they are rich who understand
Tho secret of combining ggag.e
The good deep hidden In the earth
With that where suns are shining.
Oh, myriad forms of earth and air.
OF lake, and sea. and river.
Which makes our landscapes glad and fair
To glorify the giver;
Teach US to learn the lesson hid
In each familiar feature,
Tho mystery which SO perfecte
Each low OF lofty creature;
For God is good, and life ie sweet
While suns are brightly shining
To glad the gloOms and thus rebuko
Our follies OF replning.
Each night is followed by Its day,
Each storm by fairer weather.
While all the works Of nature sing
Their psalms of Joy together.
Then loarn oh, heart their songs of hope!
Cease, soul. thy thanhlees SORROW;
For though the clouds be dark to-day,
The sun shall shine Tomorrow;
Learn we'll from bird and tree and riil
The sins OF dark resentment;
And know the greatest gift of God
Is faith and sweet cOntentment.
