Locust InyasiOnS,

The records of locust plaques in

Spence mention an army of locusts
which ravaged the Mahratta country,

and SO compact that it obscured the
sun like an eclipse. At the close of the
last century, so many persisted in the
sea on part of the African Coast that
bank three or four feet high, and
about so miles long, was formed on
the shore by their dead bodies, apd
the stencil Of them was carried $50
miles by the wind. In another part
of Africa, early in the Christian era,
one plague of locusts is said to have
caused the death of 100000 persons;

marriage to Miss Julia Emma Monroe

desiring to utilize it nevertheless. walled

away, on higher ground. where there
was a favorable place for it. He dug
a ditch three feet deep, from the pond

and completed the filling with the soil
and clay taken from it. He made a cut
off at the upper end of the ditch, and
the usual outlet for the pond. When
the pond was filled, the water from it

well is regulated by the cutoff at the
upper end of the ditch. Thus he has
pure we'll water for the stock to drink,
and a pond for the cattle to stand in
and the hogs to wallow in. As he can
have both the well and the pond full ut

Another Moreanntic Scandal.

London World: A great sensation has
been excited in court circles at Berlin by q
rnmor which has arrived from Naples, via
Vienna, that the widowed Princess Fred
erick Charles OF Prussia has contracted u
%morganatic marriage with Capt. Won Wag-
enheim, one Of her eguerries. The princess
has been in Italy for thelastseven months,
and she is now at Sorrento. There is no
rerson why anybody should express sur
prise il the princess has thought fit to
change her condition after ten months Of
widowhood, as it is notorious that her
first marriage was a m%ostunhappy one, and
her relations with her late husband had
been decidedly strained for many years be-
fore his death. 1t was only the urgent en-
treaties OF the Emperor William that pre-
vented a separation about two years ago,
when the princess retired to Dessau. Prin-
cess Frederick Charles, who is now in her
forty-ninth year, is the younger sister of
the duke OF Anhalt and the duchess OF
Saxe-Altenberg. She was married at the
age OF seventeen to the late Prince Fred
erick Charles, and has four childrcn-the
Princess Albrecht OF Sake ltenberg (for.
merly Princess Henry OF the Netherlands),
the hereditary grand-duchess OF Olden-
burg, the duchess Of C%onnaught and the
Prince Frederick Leopold, who is still a
minor. The princess is q very clever and a
