MECHANICS.
"Out of Notwithstanding comes"

tnt Oh MISUNDERSTANDING cOilt>.''
The laws of nature, unlike human
laws can neither be changed nor cvadcd;
and for want of a proper knowledge of
simple and Interchangeable laws, many
men waste time and money in trying to
produce great effects by insufficient
means.
The mechanical powers; as they are
called, do not, and never can create pow
cr-they only modify its application.
The power most easily measured is
that of gravity or weight; and it is the
cheapest of all powers, or first movers,
when, as in the case of a waterfall, ma
ture constantly winds up the weight for
us for nothing.
Suppose then we have one thousand
pounds of water falling ten feet IN "a min
ute. No human ContrivanCc can make
that water raise more than its own weight
to the height often feet in the same. 1t
cannot raise quite as much, for the fric-
ton of the machinery must waste part
of the power; but as 1t may be a small
part let us omit the friction from these
calculations.
The effect of the mechanical powers
is to enable us, while original power re-
mains the same, and the rate of its mo-
ton the same, to exert a greater power
with a slower motion, or lesser power
with quicker motion. But, in all such
cases, the power produced multiplied by
the speed with which it moves will be
found to give the same product.
Thus one thousand pounds falling ten
feet in minute may be made to raise
ten thousand pounds, one foot in min
ute, or one hundred feet in a minute, the
same power being required in such case !;
but no man can make it do more, for
ifhc did, he would create something out
Of nothing, which is contrary to a law Of
nature.
For this reason all attempts to make a
mechanical perpetual motion have failed,
and forever must fail: as such machine
would be equivalent to making a weight
raise another equal to its itscfto the same
height in the same time, and enough more
to overcome the unavoidable friction of
the machine, winch friction however
small, is sooner or later to stop the mo-
ton, unless an additional power is APP
piled sufficient to overcome the friction.
Therefore every man who is trying to
make perpetual motion, or any other
machine which he expects to do more
than the power applied to work it, is
wasting his time and money in that which
will be certain to end in disappointment.

then comes new coculia, to deposit its
eggs as before described. Its work is
not confined to the plum, but extends
to cherry, peach, and apple, though it
would seem to prefer the plum TO other
fruit, on account probably, of the smooth
ness of the skin, and the greater case IN
making the incision. 1t is remarkable
how general It's dcprcdations are on the
plum tree when unmolestcd for when
the tree is loaded with fruit, and large,
scarcely a single plum will remain I'M
puncturcd, and consequently all will be
lost to the cultivator. Some kinds of
peach and apple which have woody or
furry surface, are not attacked. Almost
all the wind-fall apples (as they arc call
cd) are produced by this beetle and upon
examination will be found to contain the
larvae or worm from the egg Of the cur
culio.
The plumtrcc is subject to disease
on the limbs, kind of cXcresccncc or
warty appearance, which DIR. Harris
says is caused by this same circulio, pune
turing the tender bark and dcpositing
his eggs under it. "Thcse swclings, or
warts, are diseases of the bark, caused by
the puncturcs of the wccvil, and the resi- :
dcnce of the grubs.
The sap vessels being wounded and ir-
ritatcd by the insects, throw out an in
creased quantity of fluid; this is rc-ab-
sorbcd by the bark, which is consequent
ly swollen and thickcncd in substance !;
the ovcrstrctched cuticIe bursts, and the
swelling becomes irregular, graduated,
and full of (issurcs.'
DIR. Harris recommends cutting out
and cxtlrpating these cXcresccnccs and
burning them before the last of June
The wounds made in so doing should bc
treated with mortar used in grating.
The character of the curculio is shy
and timorous; 50 much so, it is seldom
seen unless hunted after purposcly. lie
is not often seen in motion on the tree
but occasionally in a small crcvice OF
crack. or the auxlla of a limb, and SC
much does he resemble an old blossom Of
bud, ora small piece of bark, that lac
will commonly remain unnoticcd. Shoult

would to the ground.

UNITED STATES SHIP Ono AND
Touch OLD CoMMoDoRE.-There has
been much talk in the city during the few
days past, of a mutiny on board the u.
States ship Ohio; and sundry exaggera-
tons have been circulated, that it is per-
haps as well that plain tale should cor
rect. The facts, as we understand, arc
these: The crew had not been ashore on
leave from the time of their departure
from the United States. Anxious for
some liberty, atlast, when IN Port Mahon,
one bright morning, some three hundred
of them went forward in body to the
break ofthe quarter deck, asking to speak
to the Captain. The Lieutenant on duty
possibly not rejecting that the very fact
of such Il body applying to address tho
commanders, in itself an act of gross insub-
ordination, instead of ordering them back,
sent for the Captain. On his appearance,
and percciving what was the condition of
things he sent for the Commodore. The
old man, the Hero of the Constitution,
did not stay to be twice bid. He was in
stantly on tho quarter deck and as Instant
" told these sailors they were committing
an act of mutiny that "might hang some
of thcm." He then, after rebuking them
sternly for the breach of discipline, order
ed them instantly to dispense and go below.
They dispersed upon the word, and
went below. lie then ordered all hands
to be pipcd to quarters. All hands wero
in a tricc at quarters. They were then
pipcd below. This was repeated three
or four times and always with the same
alacrty and promptiiudc in obeying Or
ders. FINAL y the order was given to get
up the anchor. The ship was got under
way, and for 10 or II days she cruised
about the Mediterranean. At the end of
that timo--the men conducting themselves
perfectly wcll--thc Commodore returned
into port, piped all hands, told them he
was much satisfied with their conduct, and
that he would let them 90 ashore; and, &C
coldingly, leave was given to them, which.
was not abused, for irolic on shore.
Discipline was preserved on board and
the old Commodore came out as usual,
bright and true as steel.-N Y. Amer.

Cultivation Of the Plum.

Mr.. Enron: Sir.-I am induced to
offer YOU some observations OF mine on
the cultivation of Plums. / have taken
an interest in the cultivation OF fruit
for the last eight years, and now have
several good kinds in a bearing state.
The plum is one of our hardiestiru trees.
During our cold winters l lost pear, APP
rlcot, peach, and several of the Baldwin
apple, by the severity of the cold, but
not single plum tree. Plum trees Of al
most all kinds are good bearers they
usually blossom full, and the fruit sets
well, and it is certainl y one of the most
delicious fruits we have, when in pcrlec-
ton. The fine kinds are wholesome and
salutary, and can be INDUCED in, even to
safety, when fully ripe, without harm.
They will grow well in rather low loa-
my soil if the soil is rich, they grow fast
and come quick into bearing.
But the grand obstacle in the way OF
cullivating this fruit, is the dcprcdations
of small insect of the beetle tribe,
which commences its operations when
the fruit is quite small, and continues them
usually till the first of August. The bee
tie is called by horticuturlsts the curcu-
lio--is about one sixth of an inch long,
has two small punches or protubcranccs
on its back, and rostrum or bcak,
and on this two antcmr. BY this rost-
rum it makes semilunar nclsion on the
plum, into which it deposits an egg. Tho
egg matches producing worm, or larvae,
which burrows down into the heart of the
fruit, eating it through two or three times
from end to end, This Kills the life O
the plum, causing it to wither and fall
prcmaturcly :: the worm then soon leaves
the fruit and enters the ground where il
undcrgoes IA transformation or mctamor-
phosis, common TO the insect tribe, anc

AS there is difference in trees there
is a difference in the proper season OF
budding. 1t is rule not to insert buds
after the tree has finished it growth for
the season, and that time often varies two
or three weeks. August is called the best
month for budding, but pear trees ought
to be buddcd in July. They stop grow
ing sooner than the apple, the peach or
the cherry. These three may be budded
at any time in August provided the sum-
mcr is wet and their sap flows freely but
we think it safer to insert the buds in the
fore part of August, if not in July,
Pear stocks arc usually buddcd several
feet from the ground because their stocks
are rough and the bark cannot easily be
started near the root. Cherry trees should
be buddcd high, i've bud them at all, for
like reason, and because we obtain a
better and larger tree by keeping as
much of the seeding stock as possible.
We prefer not to bud the cherry at any
time, for We find that most of our seed
lings bear excellent fruit withoutit. And
if the Seeding proves IA bearer of poor
fruit it may be grated in its upper branch
cs in the month of March.
We loose nothing by this course, for
we find our scedlings,-our mazzards,-
grow about four times as fast as those
trees that have been buddcd in the nurse
ry with the old or the early kinds of
fruits.
The peach may be buddcd nearthe root
when it is two years old, and then one
bud will suffice; but it is usual to insert
several buds in the branches when the
stock is more than two years old, as the
buds are in that mode more likely to live.
Apple trees may be buddcd, or they
may be grated, in the nursery and
some prefer to put off grating until the
trees have been set in the orchard. But
it is decidedly better to bud Or graft apple
trees in the nursery while they are young.
If we first set the seedlings in the orchard
and insert crafts in the limbs we delay
the receipt of our profits and we have not
so strong tree as when it springs from
one bud, inserted in thrifty stock, near
the ground.
AS to the mode of performing the opcr-
alton We could show our correspondent
better, in one minute, with a knife and a
stick as large as the finger, than by half
an hours description. The bud is first
taken from the limb, and it may be one
inch in length, the lcat-stem being midway
from the ends. Some choose to peal all
the wood from the bud, others leave lit
tie to protect the eye. Next cut per-
pcndicular cash in the stock, one incl
long, quite through the bark, then cut
another across the lower end of the frs,
cut,-start up the bark from the stock SC
as to insert the bud underneath it and slide
the bud up until the lcai-stcm touches the
upper extremity Of the cash. Then tic
some bark, mating, or woollcn yarn
round the stock and the bud TO exclude
the air.
Some make practice of sliding the
bud down instead of up, and think it vii
be more likely to meet the sap of tint
stock, but as the sap desccnds under the
bark we prefer to slide the bud up to NEE
it. Ed.

The SHORT FAT MAN.-As we we.
about leaving the hotel at PHILADELPHIA
this morning, there was some delay fror
passenger in the third story. Pretty
soon, we heard sharp alteration up
stairs, followed by tho appearance of a
short fat man, with red face, who pre-
coded a negro with an arm full of boots.
The short fat man liobbled to the bar and
in sort of omlnous whisper, as though
he took great credit for not being in a
towering passion, said,
Landlord where are MY BooTs7"
"Why, really, sir, I-what number
were they?"
"What has that to do with it," said the
fat man, beginning to get excited. II
don't know the number ; 1 believe they
were s, with low heels and pegged."
"Ah, you mistake, what is tho num-
Der of your room?"
"Forty-fvc."
"And did you put the number on your
| boots, when you took them off,"
"What have to do with marking
boots? Do you think 1 carry bottle Of
ink in my pocket to prevent my boots be-
ing stolcn!"
"But there was a piece of chalk on the
stand, where you took them offs
GA piece of thunder and lightning"
said the other. "I'll tell you what land
lord. this won't do. The simple ques-
ton is, mhcre are my Jootsl l took
them off in this house, and YOU are res
ponsiblc for them, That's law all over
the world"
"Carriage waiting" said the driver.
"Lct it watt" said the fat man. "Sup-
pose | can go without my boots?"
"llcrc be one pair wern't Marked"
said the black care them UNI? %
"Them UNI, you black rascal, why
they arc an inch TO short and the heels
are two inches high"
"Carriagc waiting. and the boat will
leave if wait any longer" shouted the
driver, willie we were all in the carriage
and urging him to start.
The fat man gasped for breath. "Land-
lord, again ask WHERE ARE MY BooTs7"
"Why-rcally, sir, l."
$50 or not!" said the driver.
The short man seized the unmarked
boots and strained and pulled, till he got
them on, and grooming as though his feet
were in vice.
81 tell you what it is landlord, call
all these people to witness-."
"Carriage starting," said the bystand-
crS.
The fat man started too, and was Just
getting into the coach, when the black
touched his coat tail saying, remember
the servant, sir Z"
eyes," said the other, turning round and
laying his cane over the walters head,
"take that, and that, and try and see
if you can remember ME, and my boots
too"
After we reached the boa, and for a
long time, the fat man seemed lost IN a
rcverie, looking at his new boots. Ionce
heard him mutter-" After all, If l get
the heels cut off, they won't be so We
ry uncomfortable, and nine did leak lit
tie"
