L but One for ss. admissions, THE IVAR, IN PARAGUAY. The Royal Mail steamer Oneida brought the mails from the River Plate and the Brazils, which fully corroborate our statement, that as yet no women have been enlisted in the Paraguayan army, as so confidently asserted by our contemporaries. We know Paraguay well, and have not the least doubt that if Mar,hal Lopez sh3uld really be so much re aimed in his resources as the Brazilians wish us to belieVe, and his army no longer able to defend the :hies of fortifications, which they have done with so much success and valour for the list four years, that the female population of Para guay, just as patriotic as the men, and im bued with the same deep hatrel against the foreign invaders, the destroyers of their fathers, husband's, and children, would rise as one for the defence of their beloved country and shed their heart's blood ; but not only 4,000 women, as our contemporaries have it, but 200,000 women, will be ready to take up arms. The female population of Paraguay has always been in excess of the male, since the tyrant rule of Francia. The females of Paraguay are said in the late statements in the journals to perform all the hard work; that they handle the hoe, the spade, the pickaxe, and the shovel ; that they cultivate the soil—in short, that they do the drudgery of agriculture. Now, none of those statements are correct. It is perfectly true that the women of Paraguay are probably the most industrious women—as certainly they are the most loving mothers and wives, but no such hard work as herestated isdone by them. Agriculture has always been performed by men, and the occupa tion of the woman consisted in making cigars for the home and export business, in making sweat meats, bread, and in distilling cana, the rum of the country ; most of the market business is in their hands, and particularly needlework. The Pa raguayan lace and hanmack are celebrated through South America, and bring fabulous prices. Now such work will not make women very savage, nor is it unbecoming female employment. The Paraguayan women are as proud as they are handsome, and if they have a fault it is their extreme love for their country and their Government, and this feeling will make them all heroes when called into action. Some of the descriptions given in the romantic statements with regard to the Paraguay " petticoat war," of the commanding officers at the head of these female divsions, as well as the positions their respective corps occupy, are just as incorrect. Para guay is certainly one of the finest countries in the world, as it was the healthiest till this unwarrant able war introduced yellow fever and cholera, and is very rich in all the Southern produce, but no "mulberry" grows wild along the edges of the forests, nor is the cocoa, palm, and cinnamon com mon dong the rivers. Neither one nor the other is found in the country. Paraguay is very little known, and her enemies, who are very powerful, as they get loans and ships in England, notwithstand ing the state of war and her neutrality laws, try very hard to throw as much abuse on them as they possibly can, bat whether they are able to conquer this brave and undaunted nation time only can show, as up to the last date the allies had been un able to attack Humaita or to cut off its communi cation with the Chaco. Marshal Lopez is still at the head of some 20,000 men, 6,000 of whom are at Humaita and the rest at the Tebicuari and the Chaco. " The losses of Brazil, both hi men and money," the Times states, " exceed all the resources of that vast but disorganised and bankrupt empire." This statement is perfectly true, and if the election for President of the Argentine Confederation should be in favour of General Urquiza, which we are told by last advices to be secure, Brazil may find her self in a very critical position with regard to her as the first work at the opening of the Ar ' gentine Congress was a unanimous attack against the Protocol of the Treaty of the Triple Alliance, which was declared unconstitutionally wicked and unjust.

London 56, Ihrloy-street, Cavendish-square, W. tt Liverpool 134, Duke-street, and Brighton ATTENDANCE DAILY. CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OF SCIENCES. At the regular meeting on Monday evening, May 18, several very curious and interesting subjects were discussed, Vice-President Dr. James Blake was in the chair. We are indebted to the Mining and Scien tific Press for the following epitome of the principal points engaging attention :- - "Dr. Kellogg reads communication from Mr. E. W. Burr, accompanying a curious specimen of insect life, found only and recently on a single pine in Monterey, with a request that the Aca lemy would examine and report upon the same. The insect appears to be increasing rapidly. The subject was referred to Dr. Behr for exami nation and report. Some discussion was also indulged in concerning the periodic development and disappearance of insects, and the transmission of predacious insects from one country to another. With reference to the latter fact, the President mentioned an insect which was imported to England from America, against which nothing of great injury was known in that country, but which spread with wonderful rapidity all over England, and destroyed very many apple trees. It was known as the " American Blight." Dr. Behr stated that the weevil was imported to America in a cargo of grain from New Zealand. Until then nothing was known of it. Dr. Kellogg said that the Hessian flv was supposed to , have been imported durin g th e Hessian war. Dr. Kellogg presented specimens of the holly-leafed cherry (indigenous), f oun d i n th e ne ighbourhood of San Francisco, and supposed till now to have became extinct—and a sp ec i men o f real Prenus Virginiana found on the Potrero, and commonly known as the choke cherry. The doctor re marked that the India n name o f this tree is Is . ; and that the creek o f th a t name, flow ing through the southern portion of the city, derived its name (given by the Indians) from the great numbers of this tree which formerly grew . upon its banks and about its source. Dr. Gibbons stated that- the taste of both these cherry species cannot be distinguished from that of the Eastern wild cherry, the hydrocyanic odour being distinguishable in the blossom, some discussion followed upon the question whether hydrocy anic (prussic) acid exists in the cherry, peach, i and almond species, na t ura lly, or whether t is a product of certain chemical changes ; the latter is the opinion generally entertained by chemists. These changes take place after the plant or fruit has been macerated ; a period of some twenty-four hours being usually allowed for the fullest development of this acid. This accounts for the fact noticed that while cattle may eat freely and with impunity of the branches of the wild cherry immediately after they have been removed, death or dangerous illness often follows when such branches are eaten after they have been lying for some time upon the ground in a mutilated con dition. Mr. Bloomer propounded the query whether a poison introduced into the cells of a plant would communicate itself from cell to cell, and permeate the whole plant. Lie instanced the case of an experiment by introducing strychnia into the cells of a cabbage leaf. A member stated that there were but one or two substances which were capable of poisoning plants. There were several instances, however, of colouring matter permeating plants. Dr. Gibbons claimed that there was a power of waste which enabled plants to select and avoid according to their necessity. The Pre sident thought the spongy roots of the plant al one could exercise such discriminating power ; that when these were severed it . became nothing mo re than a lifeless mass of capillary vessels, through which poison could have willing access. Dr. Behr stated that in the Middle Ages persons were killed by eating plants watered with poisonous solutions with murderous purpose." Frank Leslie says, "Professor Longfellow, the poet, has met a most flattering reception in England, where his reputation as a writer is as fully recognized as at home. The University of Cambridge has made him a D.0.L., Doctor of Civil Law, which he was informed of in a Latin speech from the V.ce-Chancellor of the University. We suppose the University intended this as a compli ment, and it really seems to have been the only one they were able to give. But why we should dub a poet Doctor of Laws, any more than Judge or General, is not clear. If we must have complimentary titles to dispose of to de serving or popular literary men, let thorn at least be ap posite ; say F.C.P., Ffrst-Class Poet, or G.S.T., Groat Story Teller, for Sylvanus Cobb and Mr. Dickens; T.T. Thunderinr , Traveller, for Mr. Pu Chaffin and Ross Brown ; Al., Able Editor, for Ifora , :e Greeley an d th e conductor of this paper, and so on. But why should we solemnly declare •Mr. Longfellow a Doctor of Laws, be cause he sung the song of Maxvittlia, is not clear. The Fren - th Gove - rnment on Monday last granted to Baron Emil Erlanger, Paris, and Mr. Julius Reuter, of London, an excllsive concession for 20 years, to lay and work a submarine telegraph cable between France and the United States. The negotiations respecting the treaty between the United States of America and Wurtemberg in reference to naturalized subjests commenced at Stuttgardt last Tues day, Mr. Bancroft representing the former, and the Minister of State, Baron Varnbuler, representing the latter. The prices of Horniman's Teas are greatly reduced; their well-known superiority has attracted a host of spurious imitations; therefore notice all . Genuine Packets are signed, " Horniman ( . f.

The , New York Ci'y Underground Railway Company has organized, - an I will begin the con struction of its roads as soon as poes:ble, which eventually run frotn the City Hall Park to Harlem bridge, though above Ninety-sixth -street a surface line is contemplated. The capital stock is $10,000,000, and William B. Ogden Clarence S. Brown and William E. Dodge are atmng the thirteen direcl - ors. The fares for distances legs thin three miles are fixel by the charer at six cents. A judgment of nearly five million dollars has been rendered against the Union Pacific Railroal Company. The suit was brought in the Supreme Court by John Ross Robert M. Steele, and Edmund Trowbridge, who were the• contractors for the con struction of the Kansas branch of the Union Pacific Railroad, for damages of breach of contract, and for the value of the work actually d3ne in building that branch of the road. The case was referred on the motion of E. R. Maude, of New York, the plaintiffs' attorney, . and has occupied some six months in trial. The plaintiffs' claim was substan tially that they entered on the fulfilment of their contract and were progressing as rapidly as the contract required, when they were stopped by the officers of the road, of whom Mr. Hallett, who was afterwards shot, was the leader, who called the aid of the United States Dragoons, aad this male the old statement of trespass vi it anhis good. A satisfactory arrangement has been arrived between the parties interested in the Atlantic and Great Western Railway. in consequence the securities of the company have risen considerably, notwithstanding that the traffic receipts for the second week in June amounted to $89,615, and for the corresponding week last year to $10,291, show ing a decrease of $12,779. AMERICA AT THE HAVRE EXHIBITION. Among the objects exhibited by Americans we find the following :—A model of a fishing smack, by E. P. Beckwith, which is much admired for its symmetry ; a model and scale plan of the U. S. steam sloop Idaho, by Henry Steers, ship builder, of New York ; the " leakage alarm gauge," by E. B. Massey, of New York, who also exhibits his boat detaching apparatus. Both these inventions are highly spoken of, and the last ranked first, among 43 models submitted last year to the Congressional Committee. Silver's Marine Governors, to prevent screw engines from "racing," now generally used, attract attention. James Dixon and Company, of New York, have sent specimens of their plumbago crucibles. Messrs. Blanchard and M'Kean, of Paris, agents for Massey, Silver, Dixon, and Com pany, have here a new steam packing, by which oil is entirely discarded around pistons. It consists of a loosely woven cotton eight-stranded rope, the heart being filled with a composition of which the principal item is soap-stone. It is very durable, and often lasts five months, whereas the ordinary piston packing is generally renewed once in two mouths. Mrs. Coston has sent her Night Tele graph Signals : her husband was a gunner in the United States Navy, and. was the inventor, but the United States Government paid the widow several thousand dollars for the signals, which are those now in use in the United States Navy. Victor Giroud, of New York, exhibits his astronomi cal clocks, for which he has already re ceived a gold medal from the American Institute of New York. Mr. Winslow, of Havre, an American by birth, and the father of French whaling, makes a fine display of whaling gear. Brown and Leval, of New York, have their boat detaching apparatus, and Emile Rousseil, from West Newark, New Jersey, shows a new life-saving con trivance. The National Life-saving and Ship Bal lasting Company, of New York, exhibit their appa ratus. The dress consists of an india-rubber suit, made in one piece, large enough to put on over the ordinary clothing of the wearer. The only openings are at the head and the wrists ; the latter are doubled, so as to confine the wrists and prevent the entrance of water. The suit fits close to the neck, and water cannot easily get in. Metal sandals are worn on the feet, which, acting as ballast, keep the body upright in the water. A folding contrivance which is buckled on the hand, furnishes artificial fins or paddles, so that the wearer can — propel himself through the water. Each suit will be provided with a can buoy, in which several days' provisions can be placid. Edward Perry, of New York, ex hibits one of his life rafts, which are so good that one or more of them should be placed on every ves sel, especially those which carry passengers. The American Buttonhole, Over-seaming, and Sewing machine Company, Philadelphia, exhibit several of their ingenious machines. We may again recur to this subject. THE III?ST DISCOVERY OF THE STARS AND STRIPES. Captain G. H. Preble, of the United States Navy, collecting material for a history of the American flag, informs the Historical Magazine that he has now no doubt that the stars and strips were first displayed on the Thames by the ship Bedford of Nantucket. The Bedford was a whaler which left Nantucket under a pass from Admiral Digby, and arrived out on Feb. 3, 1783, twelve days before proclamation of peace was made, and only a week after the London newspapers had got hold of the terms of the treaty. In the London Political Magazine of Feb. 8, of the year above mentioned, is a passage which treats as follows : " The Thirteen Stripes are in the river.—Mr. Ham met begged leave to inform the house of a very re cent and extraordinary event. There was, he said, at the time he was speaking, an American ship in the Thames with the thirteen stripes flying on board. This ship had offered to enter at the cus tom house, but the officers were at a loss how to be have. Hismotive for mentioning the subject was that ministers might take such steps with the American Commissioners as would secure free intercourse be tween this country and America." It is a curious fact that the Maria, a vessel that has been named by some writers as a contestant for the honour due the Bedford; and which certainly was in the Thames in the course of the year 1783, is still afloat and in use. The Confederate States cruisers forced the old ship to take refuge under the Chilian flag, and she now sails from Talcahuana as a whaler. But the first display of the thirteen stripes in England was not from the masthead of a vessel. When the king, on the sth of December, 1782, in his speech from the throne, recognized the existence of the United States as a nation, Mr. Copley, the. painter, who was among his hearers, went home and put the new ensign in the background of a portrait, that of Elkanah Watson—which he had upon his easel at the time. He had kept the background unfinished, reserving it as a place " to represent a ship bearing to America the intelligence of the acknowledgment of American independence, .with the rising sun of the new-born nation streaming from her gaff." The Simooni, screw troopship, Capt. T. B. Lethbridge, is under orders to sail this morning from Portsmouth for Ireland, to convey back to England Royal Marine Artillery and Light Infantry. An American paper says—" 'rhurlow Weed, the well-known journalist and New York politician, was for merly a cabin boy in a North River sloop. For fifty years he was the political Warwick of the country, holding in his gift more offices than the President. Although in his 71st year, he devotes three hours a day to his paper, the Commercial Advertiser, and then holds a levee at Room No. 11, Astor House, where one hundred men, from a United States senator to a tide-waiter daily seek his advice and aid. He is a tall, stooping man, care lessly dressed, with a shambling gait, hurrying about as if he had a note to pay in fifteen minutes and wanted to borrow the money. His manners are very pleasant ; he understands human nature and quickly reads men, and possesses the art of adapting himself to their peculiari ties. His ambition is power, which he secures by using his influence for others. He is said to be very rich, and to expend a large portion of his income in charity."

After hearing Divine service at their usual place of wor ship, the corps, headed by its fine band, marched into the private gardens, and, the ranks being opened, his Royal Highness made a minute inspection, expressing himself much gratified with the smart appearance of the men and the success that had resulted from the establish ment of the institution. Previous to the inspection by his Royal Highness, an unusual number of officers and gentle. men interested in the welfare of the army and navy assembled ,on the parade-ground of the corps, at ten o'clock, to receive two distinguished officers who had signified their intention of being present at the annual muster—Field-Marshal Sir J. Burgoyne, G.C.8., who has lately accepted the office of trustee to the Endowment Fund, and General Si Robert Napier, G.C.8., an old and ardent friend of the corps. Soon after his arrival Sir Robert Napier, in company with Sir John 13urgoyne, who on this occasion gracefully con ceded his precedence, passed down the ranks of the men, entering into conversation with several whose decorations proved their share in many a hard fight. The men appeared thoroughly to appreciate the compliment paid them, the more so as it was the second occasion within the last two years on which the gallant soldier had testified his regard for them in so marked a manner. Before leaving the ground Sir J. Burgoyne and Sir Robert Napier compli mented the commanding officer and the rest of the working staff on the admirable appearance of the men and the efficiency of the institution. • j~ A CAUTION TO PRACTICAL JOKERS. The following amusing story appeared in the Moniteur on Friday :--A lugubrious practical joke was lately played at a hamlet called Yseron, in a mountainous district near Lyons. In this hamlet there lived a harmless idiot, of herculean stature, who habi. tually did a good day's work in the fields, but was a standing butt for village pleasantry, and was com monly called the " Innocent." One day some young men told the "Innocent" that a neighbour was dead, and that he would have to join with others in sitting up all night to watch the corpse. He made no objection, and was introduced into a cottage where a man simulating death was stretched on a bed. The outline of his face, seen through a sheet thrown over it, formed a ghastly spectacle, which, when once seen, is never forgotten. Two candles and some pots of incense were placed at the head of the bed. The party sat round for some time in solemn silence, the idiot behaving with as much propriety as anyone else. But one by one the others slipped away, and the " Innocent" was left alone in the death chamber. The intention was that the corpse should jump up, walk about, and frighten him out of his poor stock of wits. The conspirators remained within a few yards of the cottage to watch the working of the plot. In less than a quarter of an hour they heard piercing screams, and, holding their sides already with anticipated laughter, they rushed to the cottage to mock at their victim. But as they neared the door they found, to their great surprise, that the howling voice was not that of the " Innocent," but of their comrade, who had agreed to personate the dead man. When they entered, they found the " Innocent " beating the " corpse " with a broken flail, and, but for timely succour, the part which he had .undertaken to play in joke would have been sadly earnest. When he jumped up from his grave-clothes, the " Innocent," instead of being frightened, said, coolly, "Dead man, lie still," and proceeded to belabour him with a force which the joker was utterly incapable of resisting.
