The unprecedented ravages caused by locusts, potato bugs, and numerous other noxious insects, should give us timely warning of the danger that threatens us here in the more Southern States.

The portrait of a king ! A live king ! A man born with a crown on his head and a throne ready for his royal occupancy. What a heritage ! No blood, no carnage, no opposition. It is his, aud peaceable possession is accorded him by the entire civilized world. “To be or not to be” is not the rub. He is obliged to be a king. How ever “uneasy may lie the head that wears a ' crown,” his must wear it. And yet he looks something like other people. Eyes, mouth, i nose and hair the same, and no doubt he eats in the same way, and perhaps the same kind of food. And moreover, he is said to be fond of the same kind of enjoyments, and even to relish ; with peculiar zest the large and small vices of people not so exalted. In la belle Paris he can dance till the “wee sma’ hours,” and then in- | dulge the remainder of the night in all the dissi pations of the gay city. But he is nevertheless | a king (infuturo) of a great nation, and the ! eyes of the world are upon him; and with what i grave concern have the English people watched j the development of his traits of character. In j the natural order of things, his mother, Victoria, must soon pass away, and then the lines fall into his hands. [For The Sunny South.] Letter from Massanetta Springs. Tired of fashionable watering places, with their dust, noise and crowded discomfort. I looked about for some salubrious resort where I could recruit health and strength, and enjoy at the same time the quiet, ease and freedom of home. A friend, who has my eternal thanks, recommended me to this delightful spot, and for some time past I have been taking a new lease of life from this bracing mountain air, beautiful scenery, fresh and wholesome fare, and astonishingly recuperative waters. Where is Massanetta Springs? asks perchance some of your fair readers who fail to find it laid down in their hand-book of fashionable resorts. Massanetta Springs is situated in the shadow of the grand peaks of Massanetta Mountain, in the county of Rockingham, in the lovely valley of Virginia. It is four miles from Harrisonburg, and is destined to be widely known and largely resorted to by those who value health and ap preciate beautiful scenery. The water has re peatedly proved itself most powerful in the cure of all malarial diseases, such as enlarged spleen. need is the speedy enactment of most stringent chronic ague and fever, kidnev disease, and all game laws and protective bird laws. Many of the varied disorders springing from a ma’.irial our native birds subsist entirely on insects, and source. A careful analysis of the water shows some few are omniverous. These constitute a great army in defense of growing crops. A few ! there are that occasionally like a sweet thing, j such as a grape or a fig, but that any of our ! native birds do harm to fruit or grain, except, | perhaps, the migratory rice bird, is an erroneous | idea. The much-abused crow is not responsible I for half the dama >e done to corn that he has been accused of. His taste for bugs and worms I is something astonishing to a man who has ever j shot one and examined his craw. Let us have laws prohibiting the shooting, i trapping, or poisoning of any birds except the j fewest game birds, and these only during the in terval of late autumn and early spring. We see that birds play a most important part in the scheme of nature, repressing the excessive increase of insects which would, if left to their enormously active growth, soon convert the world into a desert. There is another side to this question besides the one peculiarly interesting to the agricultural community, and that is the moral and msthetic consideration. Here we must appeal to the re fined sympathies of our mothers and sisters. The barbarity and cruelty that is practiced that it contains all the elements necessary for the restoration of brain, bone, nerve, liver and kidney tissues impaired by miasma, dissipation or neglect. Every day’s experience demonstrates this fact (well known to the native Indians) that the med icine of nature, the free springs that gush forth for the healing of the nations, are worth all the drugs that physician’s pestle ever compounded. The waters, sparkling as champagne and pure as crystal, cure without nausea and without the disagreeable after-effects of drugs and artificial stimulants. Beautiful and expanded scenery, so congenial to health and spirits, is here at Massanetta in perfection. We have the grandeur of the moun tains around us, varying every hour with the changes of cloud and sky, and the beauty of the valley arrayed in variegated green and bright ened by flowering shrubs and festooning vines. Delightful walks and drives, shady nooks for quiet lounging, and picturesque bits for the art ist’s pencil are here in charming abundance. The eye finds refreshment every moment, and I think the sunsets here are more glorious than they can be in Italy. They clothe the moun- against our harmless birds in robbing them ol tains with the richest coloring the most ethereal shapes that fancy can conceive. In brief, this is a choice resort for sensible peo ple who wish relaxation of mind, restoration of body, or general recuperation of the physical and intellectual faculties. Miss Flora McFlirn- sey, with her pyramid of trunks, her languid airs and graces, might find it lacking in feverish and fashionable excitement; but to the sensible pleasure-seeker, the toil-worn business man, the care-wearied housekeeper, and above all to the suffering invalid, Massanetta Springs, with its invigorating air and healing waters, its fine scenery, its excellent hotel, whose genial pro- pritor makes of his establishment a genuine home, will present attractions of the highest order. Pennat. their young, destroying their nests and shooting the older birds by unfeeling boys and vagrant freedmen, is an outrage to civilization.jj'Most all European States have laws protecting birds, with severe penalties attached to their infringe ment. Their wisdom in this respect needs no comment. Besides the important function of defending vegetation from the ravages of countless insects, they subserve another purpose. Birds add a life and vivacity to our groves and forests that cannot be too much prized. Their songs and bright plumage are an clement of rural beauty that we all appreciate. The incomparable mock ing-bird, making the South famous for the pos session of a songster far exceeding the nightin gale of Europe, is now suffering from profes sional bird-nest robbers. Hundreds of these young birds are annually caged and shipped for large profits to the North. We should make it a penal offense for any one in our State of Geor gia to keep a native bird confined in a cage. Let us not neglect this needed legislative re form.

Because of this, we “lookers on in Vienna ” missed the amusement of seeing the German danced. They dance the Cuban here, by way of variety, in very pretty style.
