.S:l,,0~ lEroL oe~Ies.--rI. Tumesnel, OF
Wunstorf states that according to his obser-
vations, the metallic luster of the scales of
fishes, is due to the presence of the purest
silver, and that the l2O0th part of grain
of silver is contained in the scale of carp.
After this, we presume scaly fellow will
be no term Of reproach, and fish scales will
rise in the public estimation consi 1erably.
How the poets will talk about the "silver-
coated carp, whose specic-ous sheen" etc |!
Wonder if the fish don't deposit their scales
in the banks of some rivers

PrimeUal State.-A man shipped him
self on Wednesday, and went into Wash
lngton Parade Ground, where he exposed
his person to the case of the passers by,
without even fig leaf covering such as our
first parents had after their fall. He vas
taken to the upper police to be punished for
this act, when it was discovered that he
was as crazy as some modern politicians are
afier an Office. He said he was Adam that
the parade ground was the Garden Of Eden,
and that Adam and Eve went naked among
the angels, and he thought he had as good a
right to do SO as they. The Edenean dress,
SO fashionable in the republic of Paradise,
not comporting with our laws, the modern
Adam was lockee up as a lunatic.-N. Z,

portance. Some farmers roll their wheat
in the fall; and we have done SO to much
Disadvantage, for the blades have nopro
lection from the sweeping winds, and they
suffered greatly. Other farmers who
plough in their wheat, then harrow it; but
we decidedly condemn the practice. Let
the ground remain as rongh as the plough
leaves it.
For plouging in wheat, as the furrow
should be narrow, one-horse plough ans
wers very well; and if two horses draw it,
their speed may be brisk. By ploughing
lands only eight or nine feet wide, we have
many dead burrows which serve as drains
for the surface water; and by crowding
well together the earth from the two mid
die burrows of each land, it may be raised
considera ly above the level In a Innate
so wet as ours, every such inequality is
an advantage.
In our native land, and in years that
have long passed away, TO plough in wheat
was the general custom. Then came the
method Of narrowing in. 1t could be done
more expeditiously, and manyTwho did
not take time TO reflect that often haste
makes waste, adopted il. 1t was crab
like advancement in agriculture. But il
any of our readers are unwilling 10 try
whole field by ploughing in, let them try
a part. lfone-half is too much, try quar-
ter. Try q few lands-try one land-but
try it. And having arrived at this deter
minat:on, do it-not to the halves--but
thoroughly. Make the experiment fairly,
and in u farmer-like manner.

Grand Island and Lake SUPERIOR
harbor formed by this extensive and rock
bound island, is probably one Of the most
magnificent in America. Certainly, there
is nothing bearing the least approach to it,
in the region Of the lakes. Vessels may
enter it, both from the cast and west, and
when within its noble precincts,t hey are
completely land-locked, and secure from
any wind, nor is there u dollars expendi-
ture required 10 improve that which the
hand Of Nature has perfected. Whether
the future commerce and resources Of the
country will ever demand its use, seems
now questionable, only perhaps from the
very imperfect knowledge we have Of the
country. AS yet, it is too remote from the
Sc is of population, to tell what effect its
settlement may have upon the dcvclopc-
ment of its resources. When the western
states number population Of as many mill
lions as they now do thousands, it is probable
the region Of Lake Superior will have It's
towns, its harbors, its mills, founderics,
and manufactures, TO an extent that at this
day passes all sober calculation.
1t is Impossible to regard the region,
created as it is on the grandcst physical
scale, with its fine bays, rivers, harbors,
fisheries, pincries. and mineral opulcnce,
without anticipating for its valuable future
commerce. Already there is a percept-
bic dawning in its prosperity. Enterprise,
no longer confined to the single branch Of
the fur-trade, has directed attention to its
fisheries. Within a few years, several
vessels have been constructed at st. Ma
ry's, and are now chiefly employed in this
business; and there arc indications of
large amount Of new capital being directed
in the same way. Many thousands Of bar
annually from this lake, for the last four
or five years, TO al eastern market.
Scarcely sandy island or shore has
been examined, which does not turn out
fishery. The lumber-tradc is business
which will be introduced thc moment the
resources in pine, Of more southerIy reg
ions are exhausted. There is an abundant
watcr-powcr upon most Of the streams, 10
answer the largest demands Of both mills
and foundrics. The period for opening IFS
mineral wealth may be delayed, by causes
operating in all new countries; but these
causes will gradually disappear; and it
would be questioning the light Of expert
cnce, 10 doubt that its mines arc destined
TO give employment to a large capital, and
thus to add greatly TO its prospective com
merce. The lake itsef along with other
portions Of the great lake chain, must be-
come a nursery for seaman and ship-bujl-
ding, and rise to importance in this depart
ment. The period is perhaps approach
ing, more rapidly than is supposed, when
the rich agricultural prairie States Of south
will enter into a busy exchange for the ar
tices enumerated, and thus indicate the
true value to the Union, OF region that is
now so little known and appreciated.

DIGNITY OF AMERICAN LABOErRs.

The great subject of american labor,
has hardly been considered or discussed as
carefully as it deserves. What is finer
1can tabor! 1t is best described by say
lug, II is not European labor Nine-tenths
Of the whole labor Of this country is per-
formed by those who cultivate the land they
or their fathers own, or who in their work
shops employed some little capital Of their
own, and mix It up with their labor
Where does this exist elswhere! Look at
the different departments ofindustrv, wheth-
er agricultural, manufacturing or mechani-
cal, and you will find that in all, the la
borers mix up some little capital with the
work Of their hands. The laborer of the
United States is the United States-strike
out the laborers of the United States, in
GLIDING therein all who in some way or
other belong TO the industrious and work
ing classes, and you reduce the population
OF the United States from sixteen millions
to one million. The American laborer is
expected to have 4 home, decent, though
frugal living, to clothe and educate his
children, TO qualify them to take part, as
all are called to do, in the political affairs
aud government of their country. Can this
be said any European laborer? Does he
take any share in the government of his
country. or feel ii an obligation to educate
his children? There nine-tenths of the la
borers have no interest in the soil they cul-
tivate, nor in the fabrics they produce, no
hope under any circumstances of raising
themselves, or of raising their children a
bOve the condition Of a laborer at wages,
and only know the government under which
they live, by the sense of its expressions,
which they have no voice in mitigating.

an EcemJM Li}e.-James Grecnleaf,
Jr., native Of Bristol, II. l., died at n.
Orleans on the 9th of Aug, from injuries
received by falling through trap door,
From an obituary notice in the National
lntelligencer we copy the following:
On his first voyage from Baltimore to
New Orleans, in the fall Of 1922 he was
captured by pirates off the coast Of Cuba,
was severely wounded on the head with a
cutass, was several days prisoner, sub
ject to the most cruel treatment but, in
company with the mate Of their own YES
sci, succeeded in making their escape, in
an open boat during a calm, amidst show
er Of bullets. After rowing for two days
and nights on the briny deep without pro-
visions or water, and out Of sight Of land,
they at length succeeded in reaching the
coast, about twenty miles from Matanzas,
whence a United States vessel was des-
patched in pursuit of the pirates, who find
ing themselves so holly pursued, ran the
vessel on shore, and many Of them escaped
to the woods. In this engagement 1t AL
len of the U. S. Navy, lost his life. Since
that period Mr. @. has been several times
NlCCACu' anu lHduc SOillG IitirOFcaQln CS-
capcs. Two years ago while ascending
the Mississippi in a schooner, squaII Of
wind capsized the vessel, and he barely
escaped with his life. His history is "a
continued chapter Of accidents and misror-
tunes, yet he bore all with a degree of phi
Iosophy which was truly astonishing, He
had encountered death in almost every
form-in the cruel and bloody pirate, in
an open boat tossed upon the briny deep,
in yellow fever, in cholera, in shipwreck,
still his life was preserved, his hour had
not come. Bot, alas in a moment Of Sc
curity, in an hour when no danger threa-
tened, behold the summons is at hand a
false. step, and his eventful careers termi-
mated, and he is called without a moments
warning, to the presence Of his Creator.
