Roman Catholic electors publicly denounced from
HE a[tar.-.AtoftL Intimidation"

On Sunday last some respectable Roman
Catholic tenants of the Hon. Somerset Max
we'll were publicly denounced by Priest, who
declared that ''they seere damned, and ii tOas
mt of his po,0er to sape them" This attempt
to create excitement has failed to make an inn
preston on any but the mere mob; but it de-
monstrates the existence of ferocious tyranny
that must be exposed and iearlessly combated
before it can be extinguished. The adjudica-
ton Of the magistrates at Tullow, was also
subject of debate in another chapel, and they
were collectively and individually abused for
daring to administer the law in justice and
equity,by furnishing the wretches, who polluted
the house Of worship by committing assaults

M. BoUcHERIE's EXPERIMENTS ON Dying AND
PRESERVING WooD.--A special commission of
the Academy presented long report on this gen
Iemans interesting experiments fer causing tim
Der and living trees to imbibe pyroligneous and
other chemical substances. We have had to
mention many Of the results of them on former
occasion; but we may add few which were
mentioned to the Academy, and are of some lit
tie interest. 1t appeared that, after the wood,
living or dead, had been made to absorb pyrolig-
mite of iron, if tanning matter were made to be
| absorbed by it, there would be kind of die pro-
dueed IN the interior, which impaired blush or
gray tint. II pyrolignite of iron were first abb
sorbed, and then prussiate of potash, the wood
became died eta beautiful Prussian blue. BY in
| Producing successfully into the wood acetate of
lead and chromate Of potash, yellow chromate
oflead was found, and died the wood brilliant
| yellow. In the same way, by first causing the
| pyrolgnlte OF iron to be absorbed, and then by
varying the proportions and the nature Of the
substances to be afterwards taken up, all sorts
of tInts and graduated colsrs might be produced.
The application of the simple pyrolignite of iron
! had hAAra found of great value at Bordeaux for
the casks OF wine-nerchants, which had thereby
been preserved sound for great number o years.
1t was remarked that the facility of producing
pyroliSnite of iron was no small recommendation
in favorof the system; since, in any forest where
charcoal is made, there is only a mixture of old
iron to be made with the charcoal to produce it;
and this substance was found, besides, to contain
creosote, powerful preventive against all rava-
ges of insects. M Millet, of Aubcnton, had put
in claims TO priority of discovery; but the COM
mittee had gone carefully into this part of the
| question, and decided that M. Beucherie had all
the merit of having been the originator.-PdriS

MISUNDERSTANDING to the appointment
of this gentleman to Judgeship, the New
York Express has paragraph which we copy
below. We may remark, TINT this city we
have heard but one opinion in relation to this
appointment. All persons, whether for or
against Major N. politically, appear TO rejoice
at the elevation Of the veteran editor and warm
hearted man:
"Now as to Major Noah, our old oompatriot
of "fhe Star" Long known as the conductor OF
Public Journal, he has left a0ounds behind
without doubt, and whoever, that so long and
SO often held pen, has not?
But if there be man in the world who has a
heart, and whole heart, Whose impulses have
always been generous, and whose very errors are
generosity il excess, that man is Major Noah.
We have often disagreed with him, we have
wrangled at times-we are more likely hereafter
to think against, than Nth him on many affairs,
but we never had occasion to esteem him the
less We feel the compliment Gov. Seward has
given him as compliment to the Press
when brother Editor Of any party, receives
like appointments from his friends, we will be
the last to throw cold water upon it. So grudg-
ingly bestowed are such favors, and yet often o
richly won, that the Executive Officer who takes
care Of this laborious class Of men, deserves oul
hearty thanks. 1t is lamentable, indeed, that
there is so little OF the esprit dti corps in thi
profession, that we but cut each other down
Often in the heat of battle, fancying each othe
to be the monsters, because we of necessity arr
always in arms"

PALM TREES OF PALESTINE.

The palm tree is an evergreen which, to attain
perfection, requires hot climate, with soil
sandy, yet humid, and somewhat nitrous. Hence
its favorite place is along the rivers which bor-
der the hot and sandy deserts, and beside old
wells in the heart Of the desert itself-a circnm-
stance which renders the distant prospect of it a
delight to the vanderer in these parched re-
gions, from the hope or assurance of water
which it conveys.
The trees found in the desert under such cir
cumstances are supposed to have sprung up from
date-stonesthrown away by travellers who usually
stop r-here water is found, for refreshment and
rest. Maritto says that when it is newly plant
ed, the natives surround its root with ashes and
salt, while they guard it carefully from all
gross and turpid matters, which are in the high
est degree discouraging in this tree.
1t is propagated chiefly from young shoots
taken from the roots of full grown trees, which:
ifwell transplanted and taken care oil, will yield
their fruit in the sixth or seventh year; where
as those that are raised Immediately from the
kernel, will not bear until their sixteenth. This
method of raising the palm, (phoe',ir0 and what
may be further observed, that when the old
trunk dies, there is never wanting one or more
of such ofsprings to succeed it, may have giver
occasion to the fable of the bird of that name
dying, and another rising from its ashes.
But a more strict application of this fable
arises from the alledged fact, that when palm
tree has decayed, the Arabs cut it down to tn,
roots, and burn it on the spot; and the ashes
being covered with earth, new shoot springs
up, which, in the course of few years, becomes
strong tree.-KnighPs Pictorial Histor!
