The Death of the Kx-ltueen or ttpalu. The Italian correspondent of the Phila delphia Bulletin sends the following Inter esting letter with regard to tho death of the Duchess of Aosta, ex-Queen of Spain. Kings and princes are State machines, not human beings; thoyfriust net hava tho emotions and feelings that mako tho hu man heart throb. Ono day thft Princess Marguerite was talking with her court ladiea about a popular novel which they had all beon reading. The lovo story in tho romance was commented upon; some said It was natural, others thought it very unnatural. The Princess was appealed to. "Ah!" replied Marguerite of Savoy, with a pretty laugh and a fine expression, “tlhave no experience. You know persons situated as I am can never know what love means." To that charming royal lady's credit, be it said, that gossip, so free to fabricate when there Is no naughty truth to tell, has never once accused tho Princess Mar guerite of flirting, of lightnesr. of conduct, or coquetterlo. She is a model woman in that respect. She Is as gu y and naive as a child; unassuming, full of the finest tact, knows by the Instinct howto troat all per sons and all conditions of society ;ls amia ble, sweet tempered, accessible, but has her own especial kind of dtgnity. It would be Impossible, lam told by those who see a great deal of her, to take the slightest liberty with her, notwithstanding all her froedom of manner. And as for love, she has no silly, Idle follies; if she does not love her husband—and truly he does little go win her love—she Is, at least, a true, Loyal wife, and he is not a loyal, or even Attentive husband; Indeed Prince Hum liert’s light-o’-love affairs are common allc. The Princess Marguerite, as I said | hove, has her own sort of dignity and fpirit, but she Is most wifely in her ac ikaowledgemont of any little rare courte sy from her husband. Last spring I saw her riding beside her husband on the box of the carriage, and ho was driving. It was a rare sight, for they were seldom seen together. She looked brilliant with happiness; her sweet face had a smile that was lovelier, if possible, than its usual one, and a parson who is a great deal about the court said: "Now her Roy al Highness is pleased; there will be noth ing but sunshino for a week to come. It does make her so happy when the Prince pays her a little attention.” As I have already said, Prince Amadeo learned to love bis wife, and mourns her os deeply as if he were the humblest of his father's subjects. Tho last night of her life he knelt beside her bed and pray ed wept bitterly while she was dying. “Ahimequanto t pena a morire!" (Ah, me 1 how much one has to suffer to die! the young Duchess exclaimed during that night of agony. And the poor woman had suffered, indeed. Three long weary years of wretched suffering, and then that Anal struggle. At last she fell asleep on her husband's shoulder and was at rest. But It was very hard for her to have to give up her brilliant life, that was blessed with every perfect gift. Prince Amadeo has bought ail the 'fur niture of the rooms occupied by the Duch ess In tho villa at St. Remo, where she died. He will have It placed In a suite of rooms at the Palazzo Oisterna, at Turin, and the bed-room will be arranged in every detail as the one In which the poor moaned out her touching complaint against the struggle her young body made to hold on to life. Kye-stlßht Milton's blindness was tlie result of overwork and dyspepsia. One of the most eminent American divines having for seme time, been com pelled to forego the pleasure of reading, spent thousands of dollars in value, and lost yeara of time in consequence of get ting up several hours before day, and studying by artificial light. His eyes, never got well. Multitudes of men and woman have made their eyes week for life by the too free use of the eye-sight, reading small print, and doing find sewing. In view of these things, it is well to observe the fol lowing rules in the use of the eyes: Avoid all sodden changes between light and darkness. Never begin to read or write or sew for several minutes after coming from dark ness to a bright light. Never read by twilight or moonlight or of a very cloudy day. Never read or sew directly in front of the light, or window, or door. It is best to have the light fall from above obliquely over the left shoulder. Never sleep so that on first waking the eyes shall open on the light of a window. Do not use the eye sight by light so scant that it requires an effort to discri minate. Too much light creates a glare, and pains and confuses the sight. The moment you are sensible of an effort to distinguish that moment cease and take a ride or walk. As the sky is blue and the earth is green it would seem that the ceiling should be bluish tinge, and the carpet green, and the walla of some mellow tint. The moment you are prompted to rub the eyes, that moment cease using them. Dr. Hall. The UDSth of Ornyu. At London and Bremen, the longest day has sixteen hours. At Stockholm, in Sweden, the longest day has eighteen and half hours. At Hamburg, Germany, and Dantzig, Prusaia, the longest day has seventeen hours, and shortest seven hours. At St. Petersburg in Russia, and To bolsk, Siberia, the longest day has nine teen hours, and the shortest five hours. At Tornea, in Finland, the longest day has twenty-one and a half hours, and the shortest two and a half hours. At Wardnuys, in Norway, the day lasts from May 21st, to Jiily 24th without in terruption; and at Spitzbergen, the long est day is three and a half months. ——* . ■ ■ - Brswnlow on Cremation. Knoxville Chronicle.] In Pennsylvania they have a big fur nace for cremating or burning dead bodies. It is done skilfully, and in a very brief time a full grown body is reduced to about a half gallon of ashes. We nomi nate the corpse ol the dead Democracy for cremation. It is true its soul will be burned or cremated in the next world, but as a sanitary measure iet the corpse be burned now. The hell deserving old party is so rotten and corrupt that if it were buried 100 feet under ground it would still stink and breed pestilence.

The following ie an extract from a description, published in the New York Tribune., by the wel known agriculturist, Solon Robinson: All the farmers were of the "well to do” sort, and some of them, who have turned their attention to fruits and market gardening, have grown rich. Tho soil is loam, varying from sandy to clayey, and surface gently undulutiug, intersected with small streams and occasional wet meadows, In which deposits of peat or muck are stored, sufficient to fertilise the whole upland surface, after it haß been exhausted of its natural fertility* It is certainly one of the most extensive fertile tracts, in an almost level position, and suitable condition for pleasant farming, that we know of this sido of the Western prairies. We found some of the oldest farms apparently Just ae profitably productive as when first cleared of forest fifty or a hundred years ago. The geologist would soon discover the cause of this continued fertility. The whole country is a marine deposit, and all through the soil we found evidences of calcareous substances, generally in the form of indurated calcareous marl, showing many distinct forms of ancient shells, of the tertia ry formation; and this marly substance is scattered all through the soil, in a very comminuted form, and in the exact condition most easily assimilated by such plants as the farmer desires to cultivate.
