The library of the groat naturalist, Audubon, has boon destroyed by fire. It contained non volumes. This is certainly a national caluniity.

The Knoxville (Tenn.) Press and Herald says that the advance in the price of wheat has been rapid, und is still advancing. Prime wheat has ad vanced in one week from $1.05 to $1.25, with a fixed demand at $1.15. The people of South Carolina are to be congratulated on the failure of the libel suit brought by tho notori ous “Bigamy” Bowen against the publishers of their leading journal, I he Charleston News it Courier. - • ♦' The Patrons of Husbandry have a remarkable predominance in the Leg islature of Oregon, seventeen of the thirty Senators and fifty-four of the sixty Representatives belonging to fmrnftnn*. Clamor) \uh' son* a Commission er to Sun Ftunciseo, where he will reside. His mission is to turn the tide of immigrants to Oregon. But from all parts of California n dis position to help immigrants to land | and employment, seems to lie general- j iv mbnifiMted. The New York tftraki thinks that, tho Cuban torch will ultimately drive tho Spaniards from the Isle of Cuba. Once driven away the Spanish power will never U- able ,to re-establish itself.

Thf. “Imperial Bunk of Germany” lias been chartered, with a capital of sso,oob,<JoO; rfnd no limit plao* ;d upon its circulation, it being distinctly ex pressed that It-may be expanded In any extent required by business. The reasons which have prompted tills course are briefly stated in a Gorman iwvper, tho principal one given is that the limitation placed upon the circu lation of the Bank of England Inten sities panics, by compelling the bank to rofuse merchants aceom modattons at the time they need them most. * ♦- • The cost of political anarchy in Louisiana is neatly illustrated by the little item of $117,0(H) which the Lou isianaLogislaturo, the other day, just before adjourning, appropriated to Imy the dk|mfiOH of the extra session convened, to act upon Mr. Wheeler's compromise. This stun is, to lie sure, but a small fraction of the actual loss suffered by that unhappy State in interrupted business by reason of President Grant's invasion of the Louisiana Legislature iu January hist; but it is sufficient to pay a year’s interest op neatly.two million dollars of the bonds which Louisiana Radi cals bavo sold to unsuspecting pur chasers, and now virtually repudiate. IN’. Y. World. t'4U<n PlniilitiK In ( Alltoriiln. The Colusa Sun calls the attention of farmers to tho foot, that the season has arrived Tor cotton planting in that country. Soule discouragement bus been but by the largest cotton pro ducers in Merced and Stanislaus coun ties. They say if one or more facto ries wore erected in some convenient localities to work up the raw materia!, they could increase the product to any required extent. Strange, in a State where there is so much capital, no one thinkß of investing in such en terprises. How fortunate are the cotton plant ers of California to be located so far from cotton markets that the supply of cotton produced must be limited to the local demand for it from facto ries. No cotton will ever be exported from California until it has been con verfed into yarns at Hwist. How rich we would soon become If we had fac tories enough here to spin all the cot ton made here. Real estate has commenced to ad vance in earnest in New York City. Upon this subject the ft'or/d offers thoYollowing suggestion: “llirt if tne system or leasing land for twenty-oue years,with two renew als, wore more generally adopted, both the builder and owner would find their account iu it, and tho build er would be able to do then what he cannot do now. In London it has worked admirably. Why should it not succeed equally wolf hero ? By this system a builder of some means gets, say the lease of a piece of ground 2UO Uj W)6, or HM> by WO, as lie may cnoose, without loosening his purse-strings. The basis of tho lease is a valuation of 0 per cent, on tho actual value of the land.

We do not believe that any other j term correctly describes the fenuful I winds that on Saturday last so devas tated Harris and Talbot counties. A hurricane Is “a violent tempest of wind, attended with thunder and lightning, and rain or hail.” They appear to have an electric origin; at tho moment that the olectric spark produces a combination of oxygen and hydrogen, a sudden fall of rain or hail is thus occasioned, and a vacu um formed, into which the circum numblcnt air rushes “with great ra pidity from all directions.” The West Indies, the Isle of France, and tho Kingdoms of Siam and China are the countries most subject to their rav ages. They prevail iu many parts of America, and the United States Gov ernment seems now determined to as certain their true character and tho extent of the damages annually occa sioned by their sudden visitations. A hurricane iu northern latitudes is not so severo ns in Southern cli mates; and nothing that we experi ence hero ever can compare in de struction with the Harmntlan of Af rica, which withers the whole vegeta ble creation und turns green grass at. once into hay. “.Extreme dryness is ! the characteristic of this wind; no dew falls during its continuance, and j it lasts generally about two weeks.” j Nor is there anything on this eonti- j nent that approximates the noxious j hot Simoom, which blows at the pe riod of the equinoxes, on the borders of Arabia, on the Euphrates, and in Persia, and Is fatal to human life. A dark, yellow hue suddenly pervades the eastern horizon; a thick sulphur ous exhalation rises from the ground, which is first hurried round in rapid gyrations, and then ascends into the air and covers the heavens. Hissing and crackling noises are heard, and a hot current of air, accompanied by low sounds, rushes over In more northern latitudes than ours, tlie hurricanes are nothing more than , whirlwinds, occasioned by the meet ing of opposite currents. But we ’ have the real hurricane which it wus once supposed existeil only in more southern latitudes Ilmn ours. Hero, | nil the elements seem armed to de stroy human labors, and oven Nature j herself. “They begin in various; ways; sometimes a little black cloud j rolls down the mountains and sud denly unfolds itself and covers the whole horizon; at others, t.hs storm comes on in tho shape of a fiery cloud, which suddenly appears in a calm and serene sky.” In tho instance which wo described in yesterday’s paper, it will be seen that our hurricanes come on differ ently. A rumbling sound is heard, like an angry roar from the lowering cloud which lias gathered over the heavens gradually, and time is given human beings to shield themselves by taking refuge in pits and ditches until the storm has passed. Houses are swept away like “chips” upon the surface of a river at the time of its sudden flood; forests are uprooted in the twinkling of an eye; and all the improvements of human labor, to gether with live stock of every de scription, are borne with impetuous force upon tho bosom of destruction. An Alpine avalanche, is to high lati tudes, what the hurricane is to south ern latitudes. We take the following items from the Hun Francisco Morning Call: Silver Small Change.—Over SOOO,- 000 of the fractional paper currency accumulated in tho United States Treasury last month, Secretary Bris tow having commenced withdrawing it, preparatory to issuing small silver coin iu its stead. This would certain ly prove good news to the denizens of those States where the dirty, fragile trash is the only small money in cir culation, if the law making the change were a feasible one. But un der existing circumstances, with gold at over 115 in New York, the object proposed cannot be expected to be accomplished. What Shall We Do with Them ? This is the inquiry lining made all over the State in reference to the in- j pouring tide of immigrants. Sacra mento is crowded witli them to reple- ! tion. Hundreds come to Sail Fran cisco. Both cities are selected ns a point, of look-out, and in both there should be some organized effort to direct these people where to go and, if possibe, what to do. American Revivalists in England. —Our London dispatches note the arrival of a Californian named Tay lor, who proposes to conduct a series of revival meetings in the Victoria Theatre. Precisely why a revivalist should go from California to England to labor, is not apparent. —i . , The Htmllirrn stales as Nrcn TIH-ouah Xnrtlicru Mpeetai-lrs. The long au unusual severe winter has given to thousands of the North ern people a longing for a summer clime, and were other tilings equal, the Southern {States would Una ac cession ot population from the North which would give new life to that trampled-out country. But the South is tho clay vase, which dreads contact with the iron shaft., and does not give neighborly welcome to the hardier and more energetic “carpet-bagger,” who is attracted by the fertile soil and mild skies to set up his domicile beside Southern rivers aud on the broad Savannahs of that pleasant country. The editor of the lowa State Register has returned from a two months’journeying through nine teen States, a trip of 5,544 miles, and § rints his observations upon the outhern country and its people, from which we quote the following: "The results of the war in the South were more desolating and destructive of property aud tho comforts of life than it had ever been portrayed to us. It has destroyed property, labor and enterprise. In nearly all communi ties tne men of means and enterprise have been so thoroughly crippled that they are discouraged, where the men who had nothing to lose, though not despairing, never had any energy to repair the waste places. In many cases Northern men have taken large farms, but from the faSt that they were not practical farmers, nor sys tematic men in anything, they, too, have frequently failed. Nor are the farmers of the South up to the times. In many places they yet use the wooHn miildboarculo their plows, undUive never introduced the corn planter or tho walking cultivator for corn, cotton orMigar-cano. They are ! no farther advanced in this respect thujahe No it ■pas thirty years ago. ! They have tho sAmo good reason as ! formerly for not raising many kinds | of fruits, vegetables, poultry and oth er luxuries, there being a large, rov- I ing and vagabond population who steal all such productions of garden, i orchard or burn-yard. Thera is no I place in tho South for us. ■AMIES, j May 4th 1875, fit the residence of the bride's ! mother, by Bttv, W. C.

Wo shall endeavor t*> describe them fully, faithfully and fearlessly. THE WEEKLY BUN has now attained a circula tion of over eighty thousand copies. Its readers are found in every State and Territory, and its quality is well known to the public. We shall not ITUIy endeavor to keep it fully tip to the old standard, but to Improve and add to its variety' and power. THE WEEKLY BUN will continue to be a thor ough newspaper. All the news of the day will be found in it, condensed when unimportant, at hill length when of moment, and always, we trust, treated in a clear, interesting and instruct ive manner. It ia our aim to make th*- Weekly Bun tho best family newspaper in the world. It will bo full of entertaining and appropriate reading of every sort, but will priut nothing to offend the most scrupulous ami delicate taste. It will always contain the moat interesting stories and ro mances of the day, carefully selected ami legibly printed. The Agricultural Department is a prominent feature in tin: Weekly Bun, and its articles Will always be found fresh and uselul to the farmer. The number of men independent in politics is increasing, and the Weekly Hun is their paper especially. It belongs to no party, and obeys no dictation, contending for principle, and ior the election of the best men. It exposes the corrup tion that disgraces the country and threatens the overthrow of republican institutions. It has no fear of knaves, and seeks no favors from their supporters. The markets of every kind and tho fashions are regularly reported. Tho price the WEEKLY HUN is one dollar a year for a sheet of eight pages, and fifty-six col umns. As this barely pays the expenses of pajier and printing, we are not able to make auy dis count or allow any premium to friends who may make special efforts to extend its circulation. Under the new law, which requires payment of postage iu advance, one dollar a year, with twenty cents tho cost of prepaid postage added, is the rato of subscription. It is not necessary to got up a club iu order to have tho Weekly Hun at this rate. Any one who sends one dollar aud twenty cents will get the paper, postpaid for one year. We have no traveling agents. THE WEEKLY HUN—Eight pages, 5d columns. Only $1.20 a year, postage prepaid. No discount from this rate. THE DAILY BUN—A large four-page newspaper of twenty-eight columns.
