SILK CULTURE.

We lay the following interesting al.
tIcle before our readers-for the purpose
OF Calling their attention again to the
production of Silk:
AN acre OF land planted with the Nj o.
rus Multicaulis, will give sufficient food
Tor million of silk worms-these will
produce million cocooDs-three thou
sand cocoons will make one pound Of
raw silk, consequently one million OF
cocoons will make 353 | 2 lbs. Of ra "
SILK; this raw silk is worth 81 per ID
therefore ali acre of land devoted to the
production Of silk, must produce to its
owner S ,334 From this of course
must be deducted the expense of interest
OH the value OF the land, the purchase
and planting of the Mulberry trees, the
properly attending to the soil, the ne.
cessary care OF worms during the spin
mag season, the Keeling of the silk, sc.
One hail the gross value will meet all
expenses, and make liberal provision
for any Pecuniary cortiDg ency-thus
leaving to the cultivator a clear prof,
upon an acre Of land of S667."

COOLERS AND TIMERS The dis.
paraging use OF these terms, BY the
Globe, III reference to the gallant spirits
engaged in the naval service OF our
country, brings to mind an anecdote
touching the use of the same terms, by
some of the English tories, after the
close OF the revolutionary war. 1t was
thus: Not long after the peace of 1898.
q play was brought out at Covept Garden
Theatre, in London,th design Of which
was to ridicule the Yankees. 1t hap
pened that On the occasion Of its first
repf es,ntation, number Of American
sea captains and sailors were in the
house. In the course OF the play the
army OF the United States was spoken of
with contempt, and lis officers denounced
as "cobierS and t.;ilors." John Bull of
course shook his aides at points like
tins, but his me!riment was Of brief du>
ration. No sooner had the words Just
quoted been pronounced, than the van
Zee shIp>masiers rose up,swinging their
hats, and enchanting" Great Sciiain con.
q@ered by golfers and faiiors. hue1a p
" Great Britai" conquered by COOLERS end

asined. The piece was done for.
The Globe accuses tie officers o! the
Navy OF wanting discipline and esprit
