As Parsy came in sight along the lino it was cloar that thoro was somothing un- ususl to tho fore. Ligits twinkled in every direction, clustering togother around tho rail~ way-station in what seomed n flame of puro light, This, as wo discovered ou drawing up, was o phenomenon that owed its existonce to tho fact that all Paray had turned out with candles in its hands to wolcomo tho now arrivals At the gato stood an arrdy of pricsts, bare- hondod and bowing. A few paces before the group was poscd an excossively fat porson in miter and gown, tho skirts of the latter cared for by & dark-skinned youth with woolly hnir. Tho fag porson turned out to be the Bishop of Oran, & diuceso in Africa, and tho youth was a native of the placo who was onjoying a first opportunity ot learning how much moro sonsible aud intolli- gout white' people are than bluck, As soon as the train stopped, Monsignor Capel, the Bishop of Balford, Dr. Talbot, and other londers of the pilgrimnge, advanced and greoted tho priests and the Bishop, bending low and kissing the fat hand of the Iattor. Soveral flags had been brought from England for figuring in procossions and for presontation ot tho shrino. Thero was one which was dignified by the namo of tho English banner, nud a socond which boro the title of Scotland. Monsignor Capel had brought o littlo gom sent to reprosont the convorts hie had brought to the bosom of tho Salford, o Manchester suburb which possesses its own Bishop, had éent ita own bauner, aud #so had Bheffield and other lnrge towns and centres of Roman Catholicism. Ire- land alone of the three kingdoms sas unrepro- sonted, not by any fault of that country, which would have glodiy have sont o large contingent nnd a banuer of corresponding maguitude, but becauso its overturos of co-operativn had beon vory coldly received by the English Commit- teo, who suggested that Irelond had bottor gob uph pilgrimuge of her own, n suggostion which will provably shortly bear fruit, The banners uufurled and placed under the caro of their dis- tinguished bearors, the procession to tho slirine of tho Yery Happy Marguerite Marie commeuced, tho way boing lod by u Lody of foroign pricsts. As the pilgrims passed out of the railwav station, ench received n long lighted candle, and the offect of tho procession, thus illummnated aund Yuuulu-mmug}xnlnnu of light formed by tho ong filos_ of nmns nnd by people who, candlo iu hand, kept the pathway, was vory striking. Tho molemn straius of the Mugnifleat woro raised by tho stentorinn voices of the priosts, und joined in by the English pilgrime, and thus singing the long procession wonded its way to tho shrine of the Bacred Heart of Jesus. Matguerita Marie, Lo Blenhoroute, or what is intonded to be a connterfeit resomblance of tho Vory anfy Oho, lics strotohed upon an altar in tho'splendid chapel which her dovotees have en- dowed, Whon tho bones already reforred to wero gathored up from the grave in which thoy had lain for 200 years, thoy were committod to the chargo of a cuaning artificer,who roverently connccted them, as far as thoy would go, with gold wire, Head, fect, and hands were formed out of -wax and ottached to tho bones, and tho body was wrapped up in waddiy with an ontward covering of cloth aud gold, ao Iain upon & mayniticent marble altsr inclosed in & rich caso of bronzo-doro, and atudded with pracious scones. I'he oyos of tho wax figure, which are mnde of enainel, are half open. With ita righc hand it presses upon its breast o burn- ing beart of pure gold, and in its left hand it holds a brauch of silver lilies. The chapel itself is nlmost oppressive from tho richness of its decoration. The walls are bidden behind the pictures and the bouners which the faithful lave_doposited there.

From the Memphis Appeal, A question widely discussed involes tho rela« tivo value of tho “whoat, cotton, ten, and hay crops of tho world, Which of these products omplu{ tho grontest amount of the world's capi- tol? " It in said that bay loads tho rost, and the itoms thiat ontor into tho sccount as statod aro somowhat startling, snd will make s Grange's Liir atand on ond,. Cotlon. and ton are local cmxis while hay ia produced overywhere tho -world over, and thus the liny orop groatly out- wolghs cithior of the othor two, 0 aggregato roported valuo of all farm products for 1870 was $2,447,538,068 ; butas this includes addittons to stooks */ bottorments,” &o., it.i3 probably toa high. Now tha hay crop for that year—that is the grasa dried and cured for use or sold—is roport- od at ovor 27,000,000 tons, This, at bnlf tho solling prico in the large cities, wonld amount to £405,000,000, and is far groator than tho nggro- guto home-value of tha cotton crop or any othor crop. But tho oured * hay” is but & portion of tho grass crop. The other portion is usod on the ground, and it requires considorable ealeu- Intion to got at the valuo so used, oven in tho roughost way. In tho first placa livo stock, in- cluding horned cattlo, horses, sheep, swino, &o., to tho vnluo of §1,625,000,000, woro fod from it that year. Avoraging the lives of those ab 5 yoars, wo linve one-fifth of that sum ag reprosonting the grass fod to thom in 1870, viz,: $805,000,000; next wo fiud tha valus of tho animals slaughtored for food in that year to be 309,000,000, aud nas this ia an annua} product, the whole ot it will for tho present Lo crodited to tho grass crop; moxt wae find that tho butter crop of 1870 was 514,000,000 ‘pounds, which, at tho low avorage of 25 cents, amonnts to $138,000,000, and this goos to the credit of grass ; noxt wo have 235,000,000 gal- lons of milk, w{nlcb, avernged ot tho low cati- allon, adds £25,000,000 moro to the credit of tfio grass crop ; then wo havo. 100,000,000 pounds of wool at 25 conts o pound, addiug $25,000,000 moro; and, finally, 53,000,000 pounds of chiecso at 10 conts, adding over £6,000,000 to tho total of thase credite to thio grads crop of 1870, which ngerogatos $887,~ 000,000, Now, lot us add the vafuo of the *liny " crop a8 given above—vi: £405,000,000 —and wo have o grand total for hay " and the products of grags consumed on the ground amounting to $1,203,000,000! This is, of course, subject to tho deduction, ns tho moat, butter, mitk, cheose, and wool-producing ani- mals consumo other food besides grass aud bay. T'o make ample allowance for this, wo doduct the - entlio vahio of the corn aud ont-crops of 1870, eatimated nt 270,000,000, and this leaves o ra- mainder of $1,082,000,000 to be credited to the Doy and grass-crop of that year, when the ro- ported agaregato of all farm products was $2,- 397,505,058, "If our - outimatos mako. ovon tlia roughest appronch to accurncy, the valneof that arop was two-fifths of the aggregato valuo of all farmn products, aud hence wo may infar that two- fiftha of tho capital thon investad in agricultural ursuity was dovoted to the grass-crop, aud this u the United States equals (in round numbers) $4,675,000,000.
