ing negro troops. If the discipline of the planta-
tion is less rigorous than that of the camp, it is
nevertheless an admirable preparation for the lat-
ter, and has moreover the merit of furnishing,
ready to hand a class of efficient non-commissioned
officers, accustomed to the exercise of delegated
authority over those of their own colour,
and to the responsibility for their good
behaviour. Even the scarcity of arms is
no insuperable obstacle. There are, probably,
enough of firearms for a select corps of negroes,
already familiar with their use; and as for the
others, it may be doubted whether they would not
be more effective in the field with the more primi-
tive weapons which the blacksmith's shop on every
plantation could readily forge out of the imple-
ments of husbandry. A hundred thousand negro
pikemen or scythemen would probably be a more
formidable body for immediate service than the same
number of raw recruits entrusted with unwonted
weapons. There is no doubt, also, that the most of
the negro levies would be quickly thrown across the
Northern border, where at worst they would have to
meet foes no better armed or drilled than them-
selves. As for the negro's courage, when supported
and led by his master, not against him, we have
never entertained a doubt. The Confederate negro
troops will be as much superior in steadiness and
effectiveness to the black levies of the North, as the
Sepoys under European officers were to the tnuti-
nous hordes of Nana Sahib. Besides, what the
negro lacks in that intelligence which characterises
the white American volunteer, he more than supplies
by implicit obedience and insensibility to danger,
and he thus possesses the very qualities which
professional officers are prone to consider the
highest of the soldier. If the military importance
of such an enormous accsssion to the numerical
strength of the Confederacy is almost beyond
adequate comprehension, the political and social
aspects ot the measure assume even more gigantic
proportions. It is the most complete scheme of
emancipation that visionary ever dreamed of, and,
though we cannot disguise the terrible danger ot
thus subverting at one blow the whole social fabric
of a great country, it is undeniable that the experi-
ment, if it has to be tried, is tried in this form with
immensely superior practical prospects, and under
fewer disadvantages.

THE ARCHBISHOP OF DuBLI-N.—His grace is
sinking slowly. In addition to the ulcer in his leg his grace
has been attacked by other maladies calculated to weaken
his constitution, which had once been very robust.

THE LATE LORD PLUNKET.—An interesting
anecdote of the late Lord Plunket, recalled to the
narrator by the recent erection of a statue to his memory
in the hall of the Four Courts, Dublin, is published. "E.
T. M'Donagh," who has furnished Saunders's .News-
Lotter with the particulars of that episode, says :•4' When
the late Lord Plunket was Attorney-General for Ireland
my deceased father had a suit-at-law dragging on its
slow length between the Rolls Court and the Court of
Chancery. It was at long-run set down for final hearing,
and the Right Hon. the Attorney-General was engaged as
leader with a fee of £lO 10s., and a brief sent to his house.
The opposing leader was the Right Hon, Mr. Laurin; also,
Messrs. Crampton and Green (afterwards judges). The
cause was two days at hearing. I happened to be at the
time in Dublin, and about mid-day walked into the Court
of Chancery on the third and last day of hearing. I was
then very young and buoyed up with wild enthusiasm of
effervescent spirits. I listened for a short time to one of the
opposing counsel (Mr. Crampton), who happened to be ad-
dressing the court on behalf of the defendants (my father
being plaintiff), and without a moment's reflection or pre-
paration I took from my pocket a small cross, Which I
grasped in my right hand, and a e words, nhoc Signo
Vinci.? on my lips, I stood up and solicited the honour of
being heard for a few moments. The court, the bar, and
all were taken as if by electricity; the honour I sought for
was at once acceded to me, in a sweet, mill voice from the
bench, from the lips of a thin, delicate man (Lord Man-
ners). I was stating the unvarnished tale in so telling a
manner, that ono of the defendant's urged on counsel to
compel me to sit down, You shall not,' replied Mr. Plow
ket, you would do a disgraceful act the lady must be
heard out,' and sure enough I was heard out. At the con-
clusion of my address my head reeled; my eyes swam, and
the scene before me was chaos—that chaos I shall never
forget. On my leaving the gallery from whence I left the
court I was met by counsel, who told me a decree was
pronounced in any father's favour, and that the Attorney-
General wished to see me at his house the next
morning before court hour. Oa awakening the next morn-
ing, the events of the previous day appeared as a dream to
me, but on becoming conscious, I was soon on my way to
Stephen's-green, where the late Lord Plunket then resided.
I was speedily in presence of the great and good man, who
jocosely complimented me on my debut at the bar, handed
me back his fee of £lO 10s., and told me, 'should I ever
require a friend in court to call on him.' My reply was_
God bless you, sir, I hope I shall soon see you Lord Chan-
cellor.' He sailed that day for England, and when next he
was in court it was as Lord Chancellor of Ireland."

Destructive Hail Storm.

One of the most violent and destructive hail storms
known for a long series ofyears occurred a little before mid-
night on Wednesday last in the district of Reading. The
storm appears to have broke out in the neighbourhood of
East Ilsley, in Berkshire, and then to have taken a north-
easterly direction, doing in its progress an almost incalcul-
able amount of mischief. The lighting was forked, and the
flashes so vivid that the whole country around was lighted
up, presenting a scene of awful grandeur, and the crack-
ling thunder which followed was quite terrific, arousing
many from their slumbers, and producing quite an electri-
cal effect upon them, At Compton there were eleven sheep
killed by lightning in a flock belonging to Mr. John Brown.
The storm was heavy at Aldworth, beating down the grow-
ing crops of barley, bruising and breaking off the ears, and
thrashing the corn cut and lying in swathes in the field.
Messrs. Hammond, Godfrey, and others, are sufferers to a
considerable extent from injury to corn, but fortunately
some of them were insured iu the Royal Farmers' Office.
At Basildon the storm was equally violent, but great pro-
gress has been made in the harvest, so that there ware only
barley and oats in the field ancarried. Of the uncut barley
and oat crop there is scarcely a vestige left that will pay
for the trouble of mowing and carrying, so much has it
teen knocked about. The storm, or rather tempest--for
such it really was—passed on over the Oxfordshire hills
and continued to rage with fearful violence, being awful in
the extreme. In its course crops were damaged, windows
broken, and houses completely deluged. On Thursday
morning hail was found in many localities to have drifted
along, and cart-loads were thus heaped together, At
Mapledurham, Oxon, the hailstones were found to be of
enormous size, and the sheaves of beans and oats standing
in the fields, were completely thrashed, besides doing
immense damage to unmown barley. On the farm
of Mr. J. Allaway, in that parish, the hail fell so thickly
that at sunrise next morning the ground was still covered
with it, presenting all the appearance of a winter's morn-
ing. The storm passed over Kidmere-end, near Peppard,
part of Shiplake, then it proceeded across Wargrave and
Ruscombe, going in an easterly course, at each of these
places the chief sufferers being farmers. In imams parts
there were rabbits, partridges, sparrows, and other small
birds discovered to have been killed by the hail. On the
whole, a large breadth of barley, oats, and beans appears to
have been destroyed, but scarcely any wheat, farmers
having, fortunately, carried this portion of their crop, or

VIPERS IN FRANCE.—The large increase of these
reptiles in France, observed of late years, having
become serious enough to induce the Government to sug-
gest to the Councils-General of Departments the propriety
of voting a sum of money for their destruction, the follow-
ing report presented to the Society of Acclimatisation on
the subject by M. Leon Soubeiran acquires peculiar interest.
The vipers known in France are of three kinds—the vipers
pelias, the head of which is covered with smooth laminae
instead of scales; the vipera aspis, with scales all over,
and a truncated head; and vipera ammodytes, also
with a scaly
head, but ending in a soft point.
Vipers are extremely irascible, and although they
usually take to flight at the approach of man, they will
sometimes attack and pursue him. They sometimes pene-
trate into houses, and especially dairies, whither they are
attracted by the milk. They will visit the sheds where
sheep and other cattle are kept, and also baking-oven!, on
account of the warmth ; but most frequently they are intro-
duced into houses in the faggots used for lighting fires.
They remain in a state of torpor during the winter, and
make their appearance again in spring, when they are most
, forhence the coun-
, dangerous. In the morning they do not
.cr.eep out of their
nests until after the dew has dipeare

those most exposed to danger are reapers,l since
vipers love

to get into the sheaves in to le in wait for rats. When
a person
has been bit by a viper, a ligature should immedi-
ately be made above the wound to prevent the absorption of
the virus. The wound should then be sucked either by the
patient himself, or by another person whose mouth is free
from any solution of continuity. Then, if the two minute
wounds inflicted by the fangs be perceptible, they should be
cauterised with a redhot iron ; and it' not, the place should
be rubbed with ammonia, or else butter of antimony may be
applied. Internally a glass of brandy may be taken, and even
repeated, with good effect. All further treatment must be
left to the physician. The viper has many enemies, chiefly
crows, storks, hedgehogs, and pigs. The park of Chateau-
ti ilain (Haute-Marne) being infested with vipers, the pro-
prietor put some wild boars into it, and in a very short
time there was scarcely a viper to be seen. But after the
destruction of the reptilee the boars turned 1 heir gastrono-
mic talents to the investigation of the rich trultie-beds for
which the park was celebrated, and committed such havoc
therein that the proprietor had all the boars hunted down.
Immediately afterwards vipers re-appeared in such fearful
numbers that wild boars had again to be introduced. In
some departments sums have been granted for their destruc-
tion. In the Haute-Marne the council of the arrondissement
of Chaumont in 1856 voted 1,5001 for the purpose, every head
of a viper being paid 50c; the sum, however, proved quire
insufficient, the number of vipers killed being 17,415. In
1858 the number was 11,582, and the total amount in six
years was 57,045 vipers in that single department. The
destruction of this reptile, however, is best effected by
favouring the multiplication of crows and pigs.—Galegnait:'.
The Seine and the Marne are rising, to the great
satisfaction of local bargemen. The Seine, which had sunk
lower than the "oldest inhabitant" could possibly remem-
ber, is now 80 centimetres above low water mark at the
scales of the rout-RoYal,
