LAMENT OF A GONE CooE.

When thus old hat was new,
Some fifteen months ego,
Harrison was President,
And SO was "Tyler Iooi'
But now old Tip has gone to nap,
And Tyler stirs the stew
Ali many thing has had rap,
Since this old hat was new.
When this old hat was new,
The TIMES were "pretiy good"
But TO make them beter-er
Wing leaders swore they would.
But don't see the ''change' stick out
Which it was all for to do,
And | sorter think | todS belOoled
When this old hat was new.
When this old hat was new,
Wing leaders used tosly
We soon would have nice roast beef, .s
-T And too dollars A dayl
But things goes worse than they used 10 went,
And this is very true,
'.Times' isn't now as they used 10 vas,'
When this old hat was new.
When this old hat was new,
NV ''prospects was the best,
Fine clothes had, and credit TOO,
And oFFIoE-as guessed,
But twain are all things hero below
Above hope faint So
For holy-hOty have grown
Since this old hat was new
When this old hat was new,
Gay gators graced each shin,.
But now my knees stick out a fact
And Lord my elbows, how they grinI
fwish had my money back
Or that my rig was new,
Or that Id sold and walked tke, chalk"
When this old hat was new.
When this old hat was new,
used to was aohig,
And sucked the cider cobbers down
And bet and swore quite big,
But di0crsity brings down our pride
And cramps our genus too,
''Pm no patchen' now TO what what was
When this old hat was new.

AERIAL NAVIGATION

The French papers state that person named
CoMAscHI, has invented balloon, with which he can
navigate the air in any direction and in all weathers
An experiment lately made on its powers, under very
unfavorabe circumstances, near Lyons, France, was
completely successful. The aeronau, made his ascent
from the east bank Of the Soane and crossed the iver
in westerly direction, gradually steering in curvi-
linear PATH till he recrossed the river, and descended
very near the spot where he had risen. During t is
experiment the weather was generally tempestuous
and the wind always very violent.
The balloon is unlike all others in form, being
rhomboida instead Of spherical cylindrical there

mention made of the means by which it is propelled

ed out in a torrent upon his head. He waived
all, sooner than surrender his grasp upon the
Constitution. IL was al this time, il seems,
that Mr.. King volunteered the attempt at concilia-
ton, and it was under such circumstances that
his proposition was rejected. We know not
what that proposition was-and much less can
we conceive the connection which il had with
the 4" Fiscal Corporation BILL" which had its ORR
gin probably week after nor can we well ina
glne that Mr.. King, who seems to have pos
sessed so much of the Presidents confidence,
at the time referred to, should have relaxed
all his efforts al compromise, and had no further
conversation with the President, when the
prospect afterwards seemed to have frightened.
We cannot bring ourselves to believe that a
gentleman Of Mr.. Kings high honor, would
suppress any thing that was said by Mr.. Tyler,
IN any after conversation, after esteeming il TO
be his duty TO narrate what he has done. We
boldly challenge full disclosures. No matter
iohen uttered or where uttered. We know
that all manner of false representations have
gone forth TO the country. A charge is extant
that the President in writing approved that
bill, and we would have the proof Where is
that writing committing the President to an act
Incorporating Bank to deal in exchanges, in
opposition to the doctrine laid down in the case
of the "Bank of Augusta against Earle 2" We
would have men speak out. What did he say

NAVY DEPARTMENT, June 7, 1872.
10 The Editor Of The .Nadisonar--
SIR Frequent applications are made to me, from
various parts of the country, for information in re-
gard to the measures adopted by this Department
for procuring supply of American water-ro.ted
hemp for the Navy; and have recently been re-
quested by resolution of meeting of the people OF
Independence, Mo-, to give this information through
the public prints. therefore ask the favor of you
to publish in the Madisonian the accompanying letter
OF instructions, given by the Navy Commissioners, to
the agent employed under the resolution of Congress
of the llti September, 1S4l.
The course thus indicated, Is the only which
the Department felt itself authorized to adopt under
any report of his proceedings, and Of course it is not
in my power to give such information upon the subject
as would enable Congress to adopt such further mea-
sures as the case might seem to them to require =
That information will be communicated as soon as
it shall be received. Farther legislation will I'M
doubleday be necessary in order to establish suitable
depots and agencies, in the hemp-growing country,
such as are required by the interest and convenience
of the people The subject is very interesting tothe
Department and is believed to be not less so to Con
gress; so that reasonable hope may be INDUCED
that all necessary and convenient arrangements will
be authorized, whenever the requisite information
shall be obtained.

AGRICULTURAL PROSPECTS.

| In the present position of mercantile affairs and the
great depression of business, the prospects OF the
coming crops naturally exctes anxious attention.
We have kept our readers advised from day 10 DAY OF
the apparent condition of the crops in various parts
of the country, and they have been generally of the
most cheering character,
In Virginia all accounts concur in stating the wheat
crop as very promising, although there has not been
of two or three years past.
The wheat harvest has already commenced on
James river. For ten days past the farmers have
been reaping the early May wheat. The crops turn
out well. There will be good yield
In Pennsylvania, present indications warrant the
belief of heavy yield of wheat, rye, oats, barley,
grass, SC. Indeed, we hear from some parts OF the
State that the prospect at this period OF the season
years.
| In New York and Ohio the farmers are anticipate
ing an abundant harvest Of wheat
The prospect is equally faterng in Indiana Hi
nos and in fact the whole Western States from which
we have heard The wheat crop has been harvested
in some portions of Arkansas early as the 18th ul
timo and is stated to have come in very hne-fuy
as productive as the grain-growing States.
Of some other Of the great products 1t IS too early
to speak with any degree of certainty Corn, for in
stance has generally come up thrifty, but its yield
must of course depend upon the character OF the two
or three coming months Fruit will probably fall be-
low the average
| OF the great grain crops of the West is above
stated we have the most cheering indications and II
the prospect now held out is fully realized it cannot
fail to have sautary effect upon business. There
is at the present moment comparative calm in the
business world The wholesale dealers in the Allan
tic cities have been curtaing their operations while
their agents in the South and West employed in
putting their heavy accounts there in proper train OF
adjustment While the East is thus looking to the
West for remittances, the West must in great mea-
sure depend UPON the extent OF It's crops 10 OBTAIN
exchange at fair rates, and thus quidate the heavy
balance due the East.

Western States will send to the seaboard this year

singular Characteristics Of he .Stork-"There
are great numbers of those BIRDS" says Captain
jesse Sin the south of Russia be fore migrating,
which they always do at the approach of winter,
they assemble fiom all parts and kill their young
ones that not strong enough TO accompany
them in their long flight. This characteristic is
remarkable, and in strong contrast to the affection
they generally display towards their young. OF
this the following anecdote, related to the by
merchant Of my acquaintance, is an example,
lie was on his way to Kharkoff, when he obser
we'd one evening several peasants assembled round
something in field near village; ordering the
yemstchik to stop, he aghted from his carriage
aud went up to them 10 what was going on.--
Arriving at The spot, he found they were looking
at two dead storks, which were lying on the grass
and upon enquiring the reason of their taking
such an interest in these birds, one OF the bysand-
ers gave him the following singular account of
their death The storks had nest in the field
they were then lying in the hen bird had been sit
ting that morning, the male having left her as
usual in search of food. During his absence, the
lady, either with the same intention, or to have
Bit of gossip with some OF the female sorks in the
neighborhood, also took her departure. No soon-
er had she left her nest, than species of hawk,
very common in the seppe, seeing the eggs unpro-
tected, he bounced upon and sucked them.
shor, time after this the male bird returned, and
finding them destroyed, he threw himself down
upon the shells, and gave way 10 every demonslra-
ton of grief The female also returned, but i'm
n,edately he observed her coming, he ran up, at
tackled her with his beak, aud seized her between
his claws, scared up with her to great height
Tie then compressed his own wings, and both fall
ing to the ground together they were killed."
