EFFECTS OF ASHES.

Mr.. Peter Crispel, Of Hurley, Ulster Co., i,i-
forms us that he raised last year, on one aero
of land, three tons and twelve hundred and
eighty pounds of hay, at one crop. The hay
was in good mcrchanlable condition and of
good quality, as will appear from the fact that
1t was sold at IS per ton, and was all weighed
on the scales. The soil where the crop grew
was dry, loamy aluvian, and had been in
grass many years. Last year Mr.. c. spread
OH hundred bushels of leached ashes TO the
acre, which cost eight cents biisheI The
ashes increased the quantity of hay nearly
one half, and from former experiment in the
use OF them, it is known tina, their. effects con-
linue for several years.
Mr. Crispel has made some trials with both
leached and unleached ashes, and the results,
in his case, would seem to show that the uni
leached are not more valuable than the leach
ed. He thinks that ashes Which have laid
some time after being leached, are much moro
valuable than when they are applied imme-
diately after teaching. He informs us that
this is also in accordance with the experience
of the Long Island farmers with whom he has
conversed. We are aware that results do not
appear to have been uniform in regard to the
action OF ashes, but we have heard the same
views as are held by Mr.. Crispel frequently
! given by other iarmers.-.Albany Cultiu ator.

TIE AUTOMATON CHESS.pLAYER.

From the New York Commercial Advertiser
There has been some inquiry lately, in the
newspapers, for the present whereaboat of
the automaton chess-player, which once ex-
cited so much wondering speculation in Eu-
rope. 1t was generally remembered that after
the death Of Maelzel the automaton was sold.
with his other ingenious pieces of mechan-
ism; and rumor had got abroad that the
chess-player was lying, dilapita,ed and neg
lec,ed. in some lumber-room Of PHILADELPHIA
or New Y ork. This, however, appears to be
an unfounded story. A communication in
the Newark Daily Advertiser tells us that
when Maelzel left this country Che died at
sea- he took the chess-player to pieces and
boxed mp the parts in several cases, which
were stored at Philadelphia. Recently DR..
S. K. Mitchell, Of that city, after careful exa-
mnation Of these disjecta membra, discovered
the secret Of their construction, and has sue.
ceeded in putting them together, and the ma.
chine is now exhibited at Peale's Museum
But more interesting disclosure has been
made, it seems, at Paris, by one Monsieur
Moure, who was Maelzel's player in Europe.
He reveals the secret Of the manner in which
the games were played. We quote from the
Courier s. Enquirer:
"The concealed player was seated immedi-
ately under the automaton's chess board, and
may be supposed to be looking up to its I'M
der surface. He there sees representation
If that hoard each sruoro ,1,;,,aJ g.
pond with the square above, the only differ
ence being that, while on the automa,on's
board some Of the squares are occupied bv
chessmen and others are empty, every one OF
the squares beneath is numbered aud furnish
ed with small iron knob suspended by q
short thread. Every chessman on the auto
maton's board contained small magnet-
Now, suppose the game about 10 begin: ihr-
ty-two chessmen are on the automaton's board
of course, each one having a magnet, the
thIrty-two IRON knobs beneath are drawn u[
TO the board. AS soon as ore Of the chess
men is taken mp, the knob, being release,
from the attraction, drops, end the concealed
player knows at once which square is vacated
As soon as it is placed upon another souar,
the knob beneath is drawn up, and thus indi
Gates the play that has been made The con
ceaied payer repeats these moves on small
board Of his own, and then sets in motion, b,
strings, the arm of the automaton; and thu
the game goes ou.o
MaezePs player in this country, we hav
been told, was German named SIombereer
and he too died, we believe, some three or fou
! years ago.
! Now that the present condition of Mae,

INDULGE THE CURIOSITY OF CHILDREN

Suppress not their curiosity or inquisitive-
ness. IL Is no failing in and Of itself. II is
rather one OF the strongest incentives and the
most prominent means to become learned and
wise. tits generally from ignorance and pride,
indifference or peevish disposition, that a
man commands his children to he silent, or
reproaches them FOR an improper and repre-
hensiole curiosity, when they inquire about
something, and are not satisfied with the first
answer given them.-They must indeed learn
TO use prudence and discretion in the compa-
ny of strangers, who are present, not on their
own account. but on that of their parent. But
parents, guardians and teachers would neglect
the best opportunity of their instruction if
they continually require of them TO be only
mute hearers. No, il is their duty, and if
they love their children or pupils, il will be
their pleasure, to answer their questions, not
with dry yes or no, but in such manner
as will convey the information they desire,
and yield them satisfaction. Yes, they will
gladly seize these opportunities of exercising
the reflection of The child or youth by en-
couraging 1t TO propose questions upon those
subjects with which it is yet unacquainted.--
And should their questions be of such a ma
ture as should render their parents or nslruc-
tors unable to answer them, this should not
make them unwilling 10 confess their own ig-
norance upon the subject, or to excuse them
selves through the imperfections of human
knowledge, or to endeavor to make the nqui-
rer comprehend that the answer to this ques
ton presuPposes a knowledge which he has
not, nor can have at present, but that his APP
plicaion to the subject will be well rewarded
ii he persevere therein.

ANECDOTE.

We find the. following curious hit at the
Lord Bishops Of England in an old newspa-
per, published in Boston some sevcniy-fivc
years ago. 1t was evidently from the pen of
one who Inherited from his puritanic ances-
tors unpleasant feelings towards the Establish
ed Church:
"When Sir Robert WALpoIE began to
manifest symptoms of declining power, the
first Of his old friends who shrunk from him
were the Bishops. Having, however, a ques-
ton 10 carry in the House of Lords, 10 the
success of which the Episcopal votes were
essentially requisite, he applied to his firm
and faithful friend, the Archbishop of Y ork.
to assist him in procuring the support of the
Right Reverend Bench. The Prelate shook
his head when the Minister urged the neces-
sity OF personal application. siy good friend,
said he, 'ihere is but one way to proceed
with my Right Reverend brethren, and YOU
may be assured | will put it in Practice
Trouble yourself no further about the mat
ter, and be as secure Of their votes as If thew
! had already given them The Minister went
away perfectly satisfied, and the Archbishop

bishop was soon known; the Archiepiscopa
milre danced before the Right Reverend Bench
/ the Bishops returned to Ministerial duty; ST
Robert Walpole gained his point; and tht
sick Archbishop, on being informed of hi
success, Immediately Quilted his sick bed il
order to dine with The Minister, and laugh il
