Tknicrifpb, Canary Islands, September SR, 1886.—Setting sail in a northeasterly j direction from the Cape Verde Islands and keeping near the coast of north Africa, wo j brought up at the Canary islands. Those | are among the most celebrated grid henu- tiftil groups of small islands in the world. They lie about the twenty-eighth degree, of north latitude, and between the j thirteenth and eighteenth west longitude, i There are seven principal Islands, having a | land area of about 8260 square miles and j containing a population of 21)0,000 souls, j These are Tenerilfe, Grand Canary, Palma, ] Lancerota, Puertcventura, Qumera and j Peno. These islands consist of mountains | Which rise abruptly from the shore and : -^thoot to an amazing height. The Jpealt of , Tonoriffe, the great landmurk to mariners ! through the Atlantic, is 12,000 feet high, j The rocks rise from the shore in basaltic | forms, whence they hear often the aspect of castles. In the interior they are high and naked, bristling with shnrp points and presenting often singular indentations on their bold summits. Yet, being often cov ered with forests of laurel, pine, arbutus and other trees, they exhibit picturesque and even magical Bcenery. The ascent from the base to the peak of these mountains presents the most rapid transition from a tropical to an Arctic vegetation known on the earth. On the const are valleys blooming with the orange, myrtle and cypress; above, declivities crowned with the vine and the most valuahe species of grain; higher up, forests of the laurel, chestnut and oak. These are succeeded by the dark | pine and Scotch fir, then a plain strewed with dust of pumice stone is followed by I the Malpays, entirely composed of loose ! fragments of iava. The summit bears the marks of a volcanic crater not very long | extinguished. The Canaries belong to Spain. The soil in these islands displays much of that luxuriant fertility which distin guishes tropical countries, when profuse ly watered like this, by the streams from the high mountains and the vapor from the ocean; yet their eastern sides are parched by arid and pestilential breezes from the African desert. The streams are i often absorbed in the porous lava, or rush ! down in torrents which would sweep away j the earth were it not for walls formed to j rotuin it. A leading exportable produce is that afforded by the vines, which grow I on the lower declivities of the peak, and ; ' yield a wine which has come into consid erable use. The nmount exported j is estimated to approximate 10,(KM) i pipes. The great crop raised for export, however, and the one upon which their trado mainly hinges is' cochineal. The quantity exported is about 5,000,000 pounds, which is of about $2,500,000 in value. Of the whole quantity exported the United States gets about 400,000 pounds. The fa cilities afforded for leaving these islands, whenever the inclination leads thereto, •re fur hotter than is ordinarily to he found ■nder such surroundings. Four lines of British steam vessels frequent these ports, two from London and two from Liverpool. Several French steamers call at this port every month and oome for little else than passengers, or rather for tho emigrant traffic to the West Indies and South America. One of theso ■lines leaving Havre touehos here at Santa Cruz, and then on to Havana, Very Cruz and New Orleans. The vessels of war, especially the French, cause a considerable business nore in replenishing with fresh provisions and coaling. The total number of steamers entering at the several ports ■ during tho year is about 850 or an average of one a day, hut none of these VtiTry the American Mag. The ! direct trade of the United States with i these islands is carried on wholly in sailing I vessels, and we sell to t hem only such urti- I cles as cannot well be supplied by other bountrius. The chief seat of trade is Sant a j Cruz, in Tencwffe, which enjoys the ad- i vani.ago of an excellent roadstead. This | place, however, is intensely hot, and the natives not engaged in business prefer the J residence of Laguna, 2000 feet above the ■'‘sou, which enjoys a delight ful coolness. Grand Canary is more uniformly fertile ] than Tenerilfe, supplying the other islands with grain. Las Palmas, its chief town, is the ecclesiastical capital; but the seat of government is at Santa Cruz. Ferro is a small, arid and rocky island, and was once supposed to form the most westerly point ot tho Old World, and has often been used by geogra phers as tho first meridian. The native inhabitants of these islands wore a remark able race, called Unanohcs. Thev had attained a considerable degree of civiliza tion, cultivated music and poetry, and showed a high respect to the female sex. They practiced agriculture with diligence ami possessed the art of embalming bodies; the mummies, still found wrapped in goat ■kins, prove them to have been a tall and handsome people. Tiie Guanehes main tained also for nearly half a century a most valorous struggle against the Spanish in vaders, but were at length completely ex terminated. Tho modern Canarians are a sober, active, industrious people, who have migrated to all the Spanish dominions in America and the Indies, and form the most useful part of the population. At 6 o’clock this evening I take leave of tills port in a Brinish steamer. DrANNBLIi. FOR WEDDINGS AND WALTZES. AT list Suoloty Is Appnivlim; ns llriilal unit (fi-mmn M) Sint nr. Once out of my heart’ll tinted fancies, I sculptured an Image fair, And to It gave the sweet semblance Of a dear friend cherished there; I gave it her voice and her smiling, And under I carved her name, Homy dear human friend and my statue Hut one in iny heart became. All. me, lmw I loved my girl image! Brave and true-heartsd and wise; And I used to look up from mi sinning To answer the smile in her eyei; Then Ailed with a g eat and glad wonder At Ms light and tender gleam, 1 would watch and wait for its winning Through the darkness that came between. One day, with uiispeakablo sadness And a feeling of bitter self-blame, I found tlrnt mi friend and my image Were only alike In their name. So I - nlfered the truth in silence.

Savannah News. "How’s your collection of eggs coming on?” nskeil a News reporter of Mr. Troup Perry yesterday. “Nicely,” wns the reply. “I’ve just a got in some new ones, and if you’ve few min utes to spare you’ll find them worth look- | ing at,” The Nows mail went, with Mr. Perry to J his residence, No. 1004 Abercorn street, and there saw more kinds and varieties of eggs than he had ever dreamed were in existence. There were eggs of all sizes, shapes and colors, from the, size of the tiny titmouse, as large as a pea, to that of the ostrich, large enough to make asquare meal for two hungry men. The eggs are all classified and labeled, each set of from one to a dozen or more in a separate apartment. “Show me some of tho rarest ones,” asked the reporter. “Well, here’s about the sninllnst egg in the world. It is laid by the California tit mouse. They are quite common, though, and are remarkable only for their size. Here’s something not found every day, the rock wren’s egg. It is found in California, too. The little follows build their nests all along the Pacific coast in the crevices of tho rocks. Then here’s the thrush’s egg. They are quite common. I have eighteen varieties of them. This is one called the Sevainosus warbler, which 1 was the first to discover. I found these eggs on May 15 a year ago. They are found only in Georgia and South Carolina. This is something T prize very highly— the Florida Towlice. There are but two sets io the United States, and this is one of them. Here’s the black snow-bird’s egg from New Brunswick, the fly-pitcher from Arizona and one from Arkansas. And here’s something tlint lots of people get mixed up—the whip-poor-will and shuek-will-the-wldow. The egg of the latter is about twice the size of the former. This is a funny fellow, the scarlet (onager. It never builds its own nest, but lays in the. first nest it comes across. Mr. Perry brought out the eggs of the bobolink from Vermont, which visits here in the winter as the rice bird; the starling- from England, the eotv bird from Yucatan, five varieties of the blackbird, six of the lark, including one from England and one from Mexico, and four varieties of the oriole. One of the most curious of all was that of the burrowing of California, which builds its nest in a hole from six to ten feet under ground. Another collection wgs that, of the Amer ican eagle from Cabbage Island. This is a white egg about the size of a goose egg, with an unusally rough surfnee. Then there is the wild turkey, ruffled grouse, plover, flamingo, sand hill crane, pelican, woodcock, gannet., snake bird, horned owl, buzzard, crow, gulls and hundreds of oth ers which it would be almost impossible to mention. “I’ve been about live years getting this collection on,” said Mr. Perry, “and have not near ns many us 1 want now.” “About how many different kinds have you got already?” “About four hundred.” “How do you get your specimens from the western states ami across the ocean?” “By exchanging. You see I always get. as many sets as I cun of a kind that 1 find around here, and I can always exchange them for something that 1 have not got. There’s one, though, that I have to buy, tiie tufted puffin, from a Paciflc island. It cost me £8.50.” “What is my collection worth? Well, according to the system under which I have it classified (Ridwuy’s), it is wortli every cent of $1600." Tho collection represents almost every country in the world, and it required u great deal of time and patience to put it together. Mtilnriii.

The jewelers say thut there isn’t much that is new and striking as yet in the way of favors for germans. Something odd is pretty sure to turn up after the social sea son gets under way, though what it will be will be decided largely by individual taste. ’I'lie dealers are showing some pretty tilings in silver, bonbonniers, card holders mia other trifles of that sortth.it have, however, served in office before. Miniature pottery—the duplication in pe tite form of the more celebrated and ex pensive big jars, vases ami things—is pop ular with some people who have plenty of money. Mr. Dement, of Spring Garden street, who is rich enough to own one of the few flue private galleries of paintings in Philadelphia bought two or three hun dred dollars’ worth of these. Mrs. George W. Childs bought three or four hundred dollars’ wortli of that new pinking and blue glass with the unspellable name, that came out a couple of years ago bent into all sorts of shapes for card receivers, cake baskets, fairy lamps and so on. The pieces average about $4 each. Paper and ribbon things will be in vogue again, of course, for impromptu, unpretentious dances. Things in enamel with diamond or chaste gold *s an offset are quite popular as bridal favors which after all, now that October, the month of weddings, is here, are m ire in thought than german favors.
