He is evidently a descendant of the pure old Kentucky stock—stout as a lion, fearless as a a and as independent as a freeman dare be.

When I saw you come out with the money in your left coat tail, instead of buttoned up in your breast pocket, the odds rose to five toone. I knew it was in vour left coat tail, because you kept your hand there.” “ And,” I said, impatiently, «‘ I never took it out again ; that I can swear to.”’ “You did not take it out for a long time,sir,” replied Mr. Daddies, applauding moderately; “* you gave mea great deal of axicty, I must confess, but you did take it out at Iast.”’ “ Where?” cried 1, where’ if Ldid before I got home, I'll be hi: ged.”” “Don’t say that sir,” replied my new ac- quaintance, rather severely : ~‘ don’t use an ex- pression ef that kind. whatever you do. You stopped at a print shop on the west side of Tewplebar, and then my last hope began to expire, fur a few steps more would have taken you into the Spider's territory and my chances would have vanished.” “Why did you not cut the bottom of my pocket ’”’ I asked intensely interested ** Because you would have missed the weight of the coins,“ explained Mr. Daddles. “Nothing remained for me but to try the fly dodge.”” “* A fly dodge, Mr. Daddles? explain yourself. 1 saw no fly.’ “You felt it, though, Mr. Brown, if you re- member, upon the left cheek, and you took your hand out of your pocket to remove it.’” “ [ see it all, now.” “That was it,” assented Mr. Thomas Dad: dies, in conclusion, ‘and a very neat thing it was, though I say it.’ Corron as A Buitoine MareriaL.—A corre- spondent of the Charteston Courier notices with commendation a new invention by which the most inferior cotton may be prepared for build- ing purposes. The invention has been patented, and has had a successful trial. ‘“ By this pro- cess,’’ itis stated, ‘‘ the soiled and water-staincd cotton of the fields, the wreck of fires, the scraps and bits scattered everywhere, even the sweep- ings of cotton factories, which in many cases are too bad to be purchased even by the paper mills .and are cast out as rubbish, are destined to form the material of public and private build- ings ; the crude fibro first losing its elasticity, yet remaining tenacious, and becoming finally as hard and as durable perhaps as stone itself.” The ee is similar to that by which chairs and other icles of furniture are made of papler-mac! The cotton will be prepared by reducing it to a paste, and ovating it with some substance impervious to rain. The corres- pondent says that a roof thus formed is both fre and water proof. “A pla tie cotton building should eccupy in its construction about one-half the time required for laying an equal measure of brick wall. Such houses will be as fire proof as brick, and as strong, if not much stronger. than bouses of modern economy in material, and actually costs the contractor but one third the average costs of bricks when laid.” eee orb ieaedl Saxpwica Iscaxps.—Some of the journals record, as evidence of the native tendency to return to barbarism, the following report form Waialau “One of the leading deacons in the Prote: Church has now a class of 12 whom he is straeting in the songs and art He receives $10 for each scholar. Idols, as [ am informed by an istelligent native, are worshipped. In one of the houses which are /i/o to the hulu, there are three idols. (two and a half feet high, so says report.) Votive offerings hyve been made to thew, and the deacon above-mentioned is said to have sacrificed a pig. One of oar enterpris- ing natives complains that his children havo ull left him and gone to theAu/a. He has three yoke of oxen, etc., and his family leave him to work alone. IJ think the above is true, it is so currently reported among the natives. I would be giad to know it is not.” nt 3 Cavivorn1a.—There are now 300 workmen employed at the U.S. navy-yard at San Francisco, at the following wages: Master masons $5 per day ; foreman of masons $7 50; journeymen masons $5 ; foreman of stone cutters $7 50; journeymen stone cutters 86 ; do. plasterers $6, do. slaters $6; foreman of ship ear- penters $4 ; journeymen ship carpenters $7 ; do. evip caulkers $7; master carpenters of build! $5; foremen do. do. $625; joarneymendo do’ Sa +. 60 ; master blackamith £8 ; foreman do. $7 50; Journeymen de. $4 50; Helpers of dv. $4; mn- sons’ Itborers € 50; excavators, ete., $3.

K. Cataenixe Hayes’ Hvspanp.—Private in- prong. 29 from Biarritz brings the account of the death there, on the 3d July, of W. Evory Bushnell, a distinguished American (?) who had lately won and wedded the charming cantatrice, Catherine Hayes. He was one of those gifted minds in which the administrative faeulty is pre-eminent. Early in life Bushnell was al- ways sought for by contending interests at New York, and his energy worked electrical tri- umphs. n the arrival of Jenny Lind his ser- vices were eagerly secured, and he bore her triumphantly through the length and breadth of the Union. Catherine Hayes risked failure by feeble and ineffective guidance, when Bush- nell, at the forfeiture by her of $3 000, under- took the managership, and, boldly daring. con- veyed her sucosstfally from California, exi- co, and Havana, along Peru,Chili,to Australia, to Caleutta, Manilla, through the Indian Ar- chipelego, and finally through her own native land, receiving, last October, at St. (reorge’s, Hanover Square, her handin reward. His de- votion and anxieties on her account had devel- which the south oped an hereditary tendeno: of France failed to arrest.

Att Anmsis can TaLk.—At an annual meeting of the Association for the Advancement of Science held at Boston, (says the Scientific Awerican,) it was shown that, after all, there are no dumb beasts! Dr. Gibson read a very interesting paper on the Language of Animals He said that every variety of animated bei possessed some means of intelligible communi- eation. Each creature by sounds or signs of correspondence has a language understood by its ewn kind, and sometimes learned by others. Ewotions of caution, affection or fear—of joy, gratitude and gfief—are disclosed by simple tones of voice, or by impressive gestures to sig- nalize feelings strictly comprehended and often answered. Insects and birds, fish, and beasts thus express themselves in distinct languages, signed, spoken, and sung, seon,heard and felt. He illustrated his theory by stating a familiar fact relative to domestic animals. Benits Inox.—An accident led to the pro- duction of the far-famed Berlin iron castings. During the wars of the first Napoleon, the Prussian Treasury becoming exhausted, an appeal was made to the people to contribute toward the expenses of the country; and the rich and poor contributed with true patriotic feeting—not merely money, but gold and silver ornaments. To encourage this, it was deter- mined that every one who gave up gold orna- ments for the national cause, should receive an iron one, in the shape of a cross, instead, in- seribed with these words, “I gave gold for iron.’’ The crosses of iron required chains of iron to suspend them. They were made; and the attempts of one manufacturer to rival another, led to the production of those beauti- ful chains, bracelets, and other articles of iron, which are alike remarkable for the delicacy of their workmanship, and the elegance of their design. How to Keer Rats out or Your Dweun- 1Nc.—Let the bricklayer socure all the holes, and put the drains in complete repair, and after that well line them with a thick leyer of ce- ment. Butif they are very much dilapidated, it will be mueh cheaper and wuch safer tohave thei done with pottery drain pipe, with a trap at the end—for pottery pipe is entirely proof against the teeth and claws of rats ; while, on the other band they will gnaw through both lead and zinc. But should you have them re- paired with brick, let him ran iron gratin grooves at the ends ; then, if at any time there should be a stoppage. it will only be necessary to draw up the gratiog, and the obstruetion is removed; but be sure tu let them down directly after. By this means the rats will be kept must effectually out of your premises—all the an- noyances and expenses they otherwise occasion be entirely obviated.

None but observing farmers comprehend the vast benefit to the country which the aequi- sition of good wheat ripening thus early would be. It would do away with three fourths of the damage now done by the rust at the South, and by the midge at the North, as well as per- haps half the damage from the fly, joint worm, &c., which invariably affect tender and back- ward wheat first; the more vigorousstalks being comparatively free from their ravages. Our plan for trying to get an earlier ripening wheat—thatis, the plan we are pursuing—is a3 follows: To select for seed the produce of the portions of the fields ripening first, and in clean- ing it to as far as possible rid it of every grain not entirely perfect and well developed. To plow very deepin breaking up, and to fertilize highly ; and, further, to sow the seod so se- lected ou exposures suited for early ripening. We think that the result will be that in a few years we shall have a wheat which will out- grow almost all danger of the fly and rus vigorous wheat with early ripening tendencies as one of its particular characteristics. We are satisfied that with the seed plump and perfect, and the land properly prepared, the best time for sowing wheat in this region is between the Ist and 10th of October, as near as may be. The use of the drill will enable any farmer, even though designing to put in thou- sands of acres of wheat, to get it in between those dates unless rains provent, which, our ex- perience teaches, does not often happen: A machine drill requires the services of two hands and three horses, and should plant fifteen acres per diem, which, to be ploughed in in the same time would require the service of ten hands and ten horses. Additional bands are hardest to be obtained, every where, just when most needed by the farmer who does not resort to the drill and the machine reaper—at the seasons of planting and harvesting. These machines are, in fact, farm hands of the most valuable kind, requiring nothing for their support while their services are not needed, and being always ready to do efficient and invaluable labor when required to go to work. As the use of the drill enables the farmer to select his own time for getting in his crop, by making him entirely independent of the additional, and, usually, unobtainable, labor (to his regular force) he otherwise invariably stands in need of in plant- ing time, so the machine reaper makes him entirely independent of assistance to his regu- lar force in harvesting. A Manny and Wood reaper, with a hand to drive and another to rake, will certainly do the work of four best cradlers without the danger to health, if not life itself, consequent upon hand harvesting in July. Fifteen acres per diem is a fair average ior the work of such a reaper. Every farmer knows the importance—in its effect on the value and quantity of bis grain harvested—of being able to select his own time for cutting it. A lack of foree, causing a delay of from one day to a week, owing to the great variableness of the weather just at that seavon, not unfrequently makes a «difference of from ten to twenty-five per centuim in the mo- ney realized from the sales of the crop. The farmer who sows three hundred acres to wheat. if harvesting by hand labor altogéther, should be able to run at least fifteen cradles to be en- tirely certain that he will not be damaged by moist or cloudy weather. Not one farmer in a hundred, planting no more than three hundred acres to wheat, is able to set such “‘a squadron in the field,”’ in addition to the necessary force of binders and rakers. So, if he would use due precaution, he must resort to the machine reapers, keeping as many of them as his crop may require. He would make money hand- over-fist by having always on hand sufficient to eut his whole crop in four fair working days. We know, from experience, that the wear and tear of the Manny and Wood reaper, when kept properly preserved (when not in use) is so inconsiderable as to amount to almost noth- ing: ‘ake it, all in all, it is the farmers’ mo- ney-saver as well as his money-maker. Ouronly wonder is that any farmer, who has as little as thirty acres of grain and az many of grass to cut annually, ventures to attempt to get on without one, and without a machine drill. But there ‘‘is no accounting for tastes’’ in agricul- tural matters, as in all things else. Wo repeat, our plan for securing the wheat crop above and beyond most of the dangers that produce failures, is to seck to plant only the earliest ripened seed, as explained above, and to have at command the means of choosing our own time for both planting and harvesting, without going outside of our own premises for any assistance whatever. We may add, that the use of a drill certainly saves a peck of seed to the acre sown, and deposites the fertilizer in the soil just where the farmer wants it; while the use of the machine reaper secures the erop far better than that can be done by cradling— the per centage of difference being sufficient to make at leasta fifth of what may be considered @ fair profit on whent-growing.
