The Hon Henry A. Wise, United States
Minister of Brazil, has sent to the NotioDa
Institute at Washington, two animas-a young
South American leopard and species of the
antelope from the province of Ceara. They
we're, MIR. Wise states in his letter accompany
ing them presented to him for the Institute by
A lldefonzo Gomez, gentleman of science, a
learned physician, and the best naturalist in
Brazil, who has promised to procure for the
institute specimens of the seeds and plants of
Brazil, at the proper season. Mr.. Wise has
also sent TO the Institute a specimen of the fruit
of an African tree called B)abab' which is used
to make delicious, cooling, acidulous beverage,
quite refreshing in hot climate, and similar IN
its medicinal effects to that of cream OF tartar
-Picayune.

ing that more attention is being bestowed upon
the establishment of agricultural schools than
has ever taken place previously. We are re.
jJiced at this; because we believe such instu-
tons eminently calculated 10 do much good to
our country, il properly conducted. In regard
to the question which parents so frequently fad
themselves called upon TO ask" What are We

der judIclous arrangements, would do much to
afford the most fortunate avenues for a final and
happy answer A general discussion has had
the effect to satisfy all INTELLIGENT minds that
what are termed merely the learned professions
have tendency to be sadly oversocked So
also with cerkshps and merchants, without any
thing whatever to aid them forward in business
Instead of parents still continuing to crowd their
soEs in these uncertain and unproductive ave
nues, we agree with an intelligent contemporary,
that it would be far better to put them between
the handles of plough, and teach them the
honest, independent, praiseworhy and sure bu.
siness of farmer-et them learn how to cult.
vate the land--to make two blades of grass
grow whore one now grows-to clear ground
Ito pillow, sow. reap, and harvest, to learn the
bushes not only mechancaly-to understand
why and wherefore this tillage or that tlllage
this soil or that is most productive. We b. We
land in abundance; we only require the knowl-
edge how to make it productive, and men Of
high rank and family pride need not blush to
see their sons farming-it is the true nobility OF
the soil, the sure road to independence, good
citizenship, real happiness. There never need
be any apprehension that brilliant mind, If
reared in the noble pursuit Of agriculture, will
not find sources enough TO make itself known
and felt. Many of the greatest minds of every
age have been those who have been;reared amid
the con'emplative and beautiful scenery of rural
industry--whence they have been afterwards
called to participate in the highest duties of a
state and nation And if thousands of our sons,
now seeking the overrun avenues of the pro-.
LESSONS and the crowded ranks of the clerkships
in our large cities, had the good fortune to be-.
come students in good agricultural schools. their
own prospects for the future and the hopes Of
their country would be UNNECESSARILY advanced.
