The Isms ov Wight, West Cowes.
July 13. Tho inhabitants -of tho Isle
of Wight certainly strive to justify
tho amwllation of "garden" bestowed
nnon their favored region. Flowors
aro everywhere in every window, in
trout of ovory house, in-ovory hand, in
svorv buttonlioio ana upon ovroy ta
olo. Two pretty glass vases and a
tmalldish aro filled with roses atovery
meal and othors occupy bullet anil
mantelpiece. Thoy aro rich, fragrant
roses, too; not cultivated up to $2
each perhaps, but sweet smelling, and
everybody has them, which is their
croat merit. You cannot meet a conn
trv woman on the road without her
"posy."
Tho dwellings arc usually low, two
storied structures, and tho prettiest
aro Elizabethan, with painted roots
and Hat. wide, diamond-puned win
dows. But there is an unhappy fond
noss for bay windows, and, though it
is a good thing in its place, yeta bay
window out of place, and especially
so7oral say four ugly bay windows
stuck together, with not tho spaco to
stick a pin between, and forming tho
ontiro front of a small, two-storied
houso is as bad as four noses on ono
small, insignificant face, occupying it
to tho exclusion ot every leaturo ox
1 copt tho mouth. Tho talk just now
1 among tho good folks is concerning
the marriage of tho Princess Beatrice,
who is spoken of most highly, and
seems to bo heartily loved by "every
body. There are subscription papers
out among tho "old folks" and tho
'young people" and tho "school
children" for wedding presents for
her, and she will certainly start hor
housekeeping indcr tho fairest aus
pices. Nothing prettier or more typi
cally English can be iningined than tho
surroundings of the Queen's homo and
tho quiet village church whero hor
last daughter is to change hor stato.
Whippingham Church is approached
by two roads from East Cowes; one,
tho upper road, sKirting the Osborno
estate;" tho other, the lower, forming
a lovely lane, smoothly linotl with
woll-kopt, hard-tliorned hedges, and
leading directly past tho row of pret
ty cottages, to which tho old and dis
abled feuialo dependents of Osborne
are retired. 'I he road and entrance
to Osborno are commonplace enough,
but thu grounds aro beautifully kept,
and have some line old trees; tiie man
sion and cottages are not visible at all
from the highway, but a very good
view of thorn is obtained from the sea
coming from Ryde.
Tlio distance from East Cowes to
Norris Castle is only about a mile, or,
to bo exact, a nilfo ami a quarter
just a pleasant walk. A quarter of a
mile farther on thu same road we

tinguislied only by a scarlet coated
personage, who takes his ease within
tho gates, and in appearance and man
ner is a singular reminder of Mr.
Charles Bradlaugh, tho eminent mom
bor from Northampton. A neat board
fence encloses tho Queen's grounds,
supplemented as a protection by a
thick growth of magiiilicont forest
trees inside the enclosure Turning
down from this road you outer a field
through a gate ami taKoapatn border
ed on ono s do by tall waving wheat,
well grown and thrifty, with bright
popples Hashing out from its tender
green, not yet mollowed to yellow and
brown, and athlete hawthorn hedge on
the other the blossoms gone, but full
of russet red shoots shading oil into
tho brown of tho twig and tho green
of tho leafage How full of swuot,
hoart-breaking beauty this England is,
and what suggestive homines to
coin a word in the grouping of Norris
Castle, tho onrly homo of tho Queen,
whero sho lived und- was brought up
by her mother, the Duches of Kent.
The modem dwelling, purchased on
account of these associations, and the
village church, tho foundation stone
of which was laid by thu Quoen, when
sho was tho Princess Victoria, and in
tho yard of which her best beloved re
tainers and many of hor frionds aro
buried. Tho peaeefulncss of tho spot
and its quiet beauty, faced by tho sil
vcr thread of tho Medina Rivor, caunot
be put itito words. It is tho Tory spot
of all others to ho marritHl from or
buried in, nnd tho Princess 0Beatrioo,
when sho fchtcrs tho sido gato on July
23 to como out a weddod wife will bo
environed by associations such as few
bridos havo known, and that will havo
greater interest for her when her lifo
has been spent than they, perhaps,
havo to-day.
Sho is said, however, to bo most
atuiablo and domostic in her habits,
and ono would imagine so from her
selecting her ten nieces for brides
maids and her long, untiring dovotion
to her mothor. Poor Queen. What
must bo her dread of losing this last
and best beloved daughter. A Queen
is so far removed from common sym
pathy that tho loss of husband or child
is in oro than to those who share a
common lot and havo hosts of sympa
thizing friends. Certainly tho Queen
is a typical English mother as well as
Queen, and tho "family" aro spokon
of as united by tho strongest ties of
afTection. Tho remarkable loiters of
tho Princoss Alico, edited by the Prln
cess Christain, showed that, nnd ex
hibited virtues of economy, industry
nnd caro-taking, which few give Prin
cess credit for. ' Well, tho gown and
tho wedding cako aro both ready tho
cako was newly made, or at least it is
supposed so out tho gown is partly
composed of that same famous old
Iloniton with tho crown and V. R. in
terwoven in its marvellous design,
witli the rose, thistle and shamrock of
the United Kingdom, which deoorntcd
her own wedding dross and also that
of the Crown Princess of Germany.
Good lace does not go to wasto in that
family.
Next to Osborno nnd Whippingham,
tho most interesting trip is to
Carrisbrooko Castle tho beautiful
and picturesque ruins of tho
prison whero Charles I. was con
lined. The remains of the walls and
gateway aro highly interesting from
their historic associations, dating from
jpS
tho timo of Edward VI., whoso broth
er-in-law, Anthony Woodville, built
tho latter, and left his insignia carved
in the stono. Tho castle stands on a
chalky elevation, and is covered with
ivy- it is not so commanding m its
appearance as many othors, uut tno
grounds aro lovoly, and access is ob
tained to them uv tho samo door, sig
nalled bv pulling the handle of the
same bell as that which admitted Lord
Woodville But hero all similitude
ceases. On the other side of the heavy
bars and bolts a trim English g'rl sits
with her work basket and lady's pic
torial to roeoivo jour fi.urpcnee and
illusion vanishes. Once inside tho
gato, visitors bond their steps directly
towards the window, lrom mo lower
middle panel of which an iron bar lias
disappeared. Tin's is the aperture

through which Charles 1. tried to forco
himself in an endeavor to escape and
hack from which into his prison ho
was drawn with great dilliculty, when
life was almost extinct. A long (light
of steps leads to the keep, but fow
ascoml tlioni; the majority of visitors
rush otl' to tho well room, wliore a
donkey draws the water from a mir
aculously clear spring, which possesses
surprising virtues. Taken every morn

maintains health, preserves beauty,
imparts fairness to the complexion and
confers the gifts of long lifo and do
mestic happiness. Those qualities,
whatever may bo tho ease now, could

Elizabeth, the unfortunate daughter of
Charles 1., who died alone in horyouth

which Shauklin is built Tho chine is
a deep cut, or irregular fissure, in tho
soa wall, from a ouarter to half a milo
long, which begins at tho top and ends
whero the water touches tho beach.
Its high walls and irregular path,
broken by steps at tho steopest in
clines, aro a reminder of Watkin's
Glen, but tho jagged masses of catho-dral-like
rock are absent, the whole in
terior of tho chasm being a tanglo of
greenery witn a pretty waterlall and
brooKs caused by rustic bridges.
Chines aro very numerous on tho
Isle of Wight There is tho Whalo
chine, tho Black-gang chino, tho Wal
pen chino, and numerous others, but
nono so famous as tho Shanklin chino.
Rev. Leigh Richmond, in the "Young
Cottager," writes a detailed descrip
tion of Shanklin Chine, which was not
thon so well prepared for visitors as
now that it is rented and niadopartof
tno notci property that stands at its
summit. Shanklin has bathing ma
chines and a fine beach, though not so
good as Hyde, but It lacks tho at
tractivenoss of West Cowes, possibly
becauso it is moro shut in and less
varied in its marine character. Tho
old part of the town is, however, very
charming with its Elizabethan manor
house, its rows of thatched cottages,
and narrow, shady lanes. It is at tho
corner of such a lane leading to tho
chino that a rustic fountain is erected,
for which Longfollow wroto tho m
scription whou on a visit to Shaukliu
in 18G8 :
O, traveller, btay thy weary feet.

It (lows for rich and poor the same.
Then fro thy wav remembering still
The uuysidu well I cneath the hill,
The cup of water in Ills imine.
Those who aro familiar with tho
work of Mr. J. W. Cropsey, the wel(
known artist, will remember bis pic
ture of tho old church at Bon Church
in the Islo of Wight. It was all the
more remarkable in its gray tones anil
general fidelity to the natural tints of
us agu aim uny iiuninciii, uui;;uiu il
formed so strong a contrast to tho
warm tints and sunny landscapes in
which his brush delights. Tho old
Bon Church in the village of Bon
Church has not been used for many

years for Sunday services; these take
place in a modern eiliiico built in 1817
or thereabouts, but burials still tako
place from the old church, anil it was
lrom this spot that the Be v. William
Adams, author of "The Shadow of tho
Cross," was taken to his resting place.
The village of Bon Church has many
interesting literary associations. Car
lylo's "John Sterling" is buried hero;
tho former a very frequent one, it i9
said, before he established himself at
Freshwater, whoneo ho is to migrate
to Scotland in search of that fieedom
from intrusive curiosity hunters which
ho lias all his life- his literary lifo
been trying to find, seemingly with
out success, n fato which will "proba
bly follow him to his grave.
iMiss El zaboth Sewell, author of
"Amy Herbert." resided hero, and
Dr. Arnold of Rugby, father of Mat
thew Arnold, speaks of it somewhere
as the most beautiful spot on earth.
It was at lion-Church that ouo of the
great English naval heroes was born
Admiral Sir Thomas Ilobson. Ho
was a poor orphan, a parish appren
tice to a tailor, who, fired by tin
sight of a squadron of men-of-war,
joined thorn, and within forty-eight
hours by a single act that of lighting
Ids way to tho enemy's Hag and cut
ting it down decided tho fato of a
hattlo, Avon promotion, and initiated
tho beginning of a glorious career.
There aro few stocks and whipping
posts loft now in England, but hero is
ono just as it stands in that old town
of Brading, whero tho Rev. Leigh
Richmond was pastor, and whero he
wroto his "Dairy mnn's Daughter" and
"Littlo Jane." It is not a cheorful
looking instrument, but it seems at
though it might bo well to re vivo it
for tho bennlit of those brutes whe
mnltroat women and children, anil
whoso position in the scale of human
ity is so low that they cannot be
reached by ordinary methods. Brad
ing is tho" oldest town on tho island,
and very rich iu associations.
But it has now less importance than
any other of its livelier neighbors, and
its principal object of interest is a
little cottage once tho homo of the
pious young girl that Leigh Richmond
immortalized.
It la situated in a littlo lano at the

A LOCUST HUNT,
How the Summer rest Is (Jot iUd of In
Italy by Wholesale.
1 was quietly at work in my study
at Capri ono day in a very hot Au
gust, laboring to breatho as well a
the great heat would lot mo. when a
wild-looking youth rushed in to mo
from Auacapri, crying out that tho lo
custs had come J'lio discaso of tho
vino had already caused1 great loss,
and now thcro wore tho locusts eating
up the harvest. A great part of Ana
capri was as bare, tho youth told mo,
as if a lire bad swept across it. Tho
invaders had already got over tho
brow of tho mountain, and wcro in
tho woods below. Would I go out and
see them? Certainly I would.
As wo approached their advanced
guard under cover of a low wood, wo
could hear tho incessant click, click,
of tho enemy, and evory now and then
wo wcro fallen upon by thoir scouts,
which dashed against our faces and
clung to our clothes. As wo proceed
ed wo found them f rollicking in legions,
like imps let looso for mif-cliiof. The
atmospliero being rather thicker than
I liked, I did not go that morning to
sco how things looked at tho worst. L
wont back to pay a visit to tho syndio'
and ascertain what could bo dono to
mend thorn.
Troublo of this kicd comes upon
Capri every three or four years; but
there has been no swarm eo groat as
this ono since tho great plague of lo
custs which had occurred somo twen
ty years before tho time of which I am
writing. "That, indeed," said my in
formant, "was awful. They climbed
our walls, got into our houses and
churches, crawled over tho altars, ato
up the entiro harvest, and who can
say what might have happonod if it
had had not boon for St, Antonio?
Somo missionary priests wero then
among us, and thoy ordained a solemn
procession of women; thoy wero all to
walk with thoir hair looso about thoir
shoulders, with the priest in front car
rying tho imago of tho saint. Before
the procession was ovor a strong east
wind eamo and blow all tho locucts
into the sen, just over tho Bluo Grotto.
Aii, Signor, St. Antonio is powerful!"
iteport having been formerly niado
to syndic, his excolloncy, in true of
ficial stylo, ordered a bag of the de
vastating animals to bo collected and
sent oil to the superintendent, who
resided at Castollamare, in order that
ho might ascertain whothor they wero
really locusts. Until that point was
ollicially decided, tho syndic could
disburse nono of tho public money to
arrest the plague, which, in the mean
time, was ot courso spreading over
the woods and iields with tho rapidity
of a prairie lire. Tho grain was boing
bitten oft" under tho ear a3 cleanly as
thought cut by a knife, tho lig trees
being stripped and barked. Tho mes
senger did not arrive at Castollamnre
till after business hours, when tho
deputy was enjoying his ovoning leis
ure and would bo disturbed bv no one.
On tho next day, however, the syn
dic of Anacapri, having obtained the
requisite authority, attached a pro
clamation to tho walls of tho house,
oH'ering a reward for tho capturo of
locusts at tho rate of about a penny
for a pound. All tho idle population
of tho district instantly becamo as
busy as bees, and went out locust-
hunting in parties of livo or six, pro
vided with sacks and shoots. A sheet
held by a man at each cornor being
lifted up like a wall across tho path of
tho invaders ono or two people with
brooms beat tho bushes and swept tho
oarth, causing tho disturbed locusts to
lly on until tho shcot was ulack with
thorn. It was then quicKiy douoied
up, tho insects scraped from it mto a
sack, and preparations instantly mado
for capturing another batch in tho
samo way. A locust-hunter told mo
that ho was earning at this work 1G
penco a dny, or C pence boyond his
usual daily "wages, 1 was tolil also by
tho parish priest of Anacapri that in a
few days tho wholo body of hunters
in that small district captured upward
of twonty hundred weight, but that ho
romomborcd ono soason in which
there wore as many taken in a siuglo
morning.
Tho reward for captured locusts was
not paid until they wero doad and
buried. Doad and unburied thoy
would soon putrify under a hot sun
and breed a pestilence Tlioro is a
point in tho island called Mouto So
lario, about eighteen hundred feet
above tho level of tho soa. Thither
the locusts aro all taken after they
have been soaked in boiling water, and
after having been in that wav killed
by tho sackful, they are buried in a
deep pit dug for tho purpose House
