FRANCE AND TEXAS.

We are happy to learn, by the intelligence
received by the Liverpool, that previous TO
the departure of General Hamilton (who is
passenger On board ofthis ship) from Pa.
,ris. on tho 10Th September las', a treaty Of
amity and commerce was agreed upon be.
tween France and Texas, which contained
recognition OF the ind pendence of the
latter. Copies in both languages had been
exchanged, md the Minister Of Foreign
Affairs Marshal Soult, merely waited the re-
turn Of the King to Paris, that il might be
laid before him. when the treaty would be
formally executed.
We understand that the recognition of
The new Republic by Great Britain will Ger.
t ,inly soon follow, and that the loan of FIVE
millions of dollars which General Hamilton
and Mr.. Bursley went out to effect, is 10 a
train which promises prompt end success
ful negotiation. General Hamilton, we un.
derstand, goes on Immediately to Texas, to
obtain The confirmation OF the Government
of that Rebublic Of the arrangements which
Mr.. B.rsley and himself have made in Eng.
land. whilst the former gentleman remains
in London to close the negotiation.

SILK CULTURE.

From the American Silk.Grower.
SUCCESSFUL MODES OF REARING THE MoRUS
MULTIcAULls CAUSE OF THE GREAT FAILU.
RES IN 1889.
The time which I consider as mos; suita-
BILE for planting the cuttings Of the Morus
Multicauls is the time which is usually
deemed best for sowing the seeds of the
Mulberry. and also Of most small seeds OF
gar !en vegetables, and OF Indian corn that
time is in Massachusetts and near Boston,
about the 1st of May, or a little later, ac-
cordng 10 the season, and after the earth
has become in measure warmed by the
sun, and the danger Of sudden changes
from heat to cold is past. If planted earl
ier they are liable to vege'ate prematurely,
and to be suddenly arrested in the bud. and
to perish during long cold storms.
The chief of the very extraordinary
failure in cuttings during the presen: year in
the States Of the Ensl and throughout Long
lsIaud, in Pennsylvania, and Virginia. and
MANY other places, was caused by too early
planning, followed as it was by long cold
storms of extraordinary duration. And this
is not tbs only year in which great failures
have originated from this same cause. 1t
was the same last year at Long Island, as
it had been also in some former years both

door fowls, probably the most delicate and
highly favored of oil others, both from
their full allowance of tue first grain, and
the constant health in which they are kept
by living in natural state, and having the
full enjoyment of air and exercise. Ii is 4
common practice with some housewives to
coop their barn door fowls for week or
two, under the notion Of improving them
for the table, and increasing their fat ; IA
practice which, however, seldom succeeds,
since the fowls generally pine for the loss
of their liberty, and sighting their food, lose
instead Of gaining, additional flesh. Such
q period, in fact, is loo short for them to
become accustomed to confinement.

TO CORRECT DAMAGED GRAIN.

Mus!y grain, totally unfit for use, and
which can scarcely be ground, may, i, is
said, be rendered perfectly sweet and sound
by immarsipg it in boiling water. and letting
/, remain until the water becomes cold.-
The quantity Of water must be double 10
,ha, of the grain to be purified. The musty
quality rarely peneira,es through the husk
or bran Of the wheat. In tho hot water, all
the decaycd or rotten grains swim upon the
surface, so that the remaining wheat is ef-
fec,ualy cleansed from MI impurities, with
oul any material loss. 1t is afterwards to
be dried, stirring occasionally on the kiln.

Hearing a scream she turned and saw a

The child was about eigh, months old and

Than chewing of tobacco plants
Contrary to their nature.

Refuse to eat tobacco
Except some poor old hungry horse
Should chance to snap a sucker.

Quite hearty and athletic,
Merely for passion, use
This corrosive emeiic.
Just like q squirrel or mouse,
Their jaws are often going;
While through their boards and down
their chin,
The amber is flowing.
You see them mo.ioning their jaws,
Like cows in meadows moving;
While working Of their tongues 10 keep
Their amber mills going.
And no church floor, however clean,
Is from the filth exempted;
And without regard TO decency,
On carpels too, It's emptied.
And yet, for all This indceency,
They have no plea to mention;
The reason why they use this plant
Is past their whole invention.
