NEW PUBLICATIONS.

Mr.. VIM. q. Force, bookseller, Pennsylvania
avenue, of 10Th street. has placed on our to.
BILE 1.-The Florentine Histories, by Niccolo Machia-
vell in vols; translated and edited by Edwards c.
Lester. New York, published by Paine d Bur-
CESS, CO John street, l845."
This book has been repubshed in almost every
language used in Europe; and 1t well deserves its
celebrity. Commencing with the fall of the Roman
empire, the first volume may be termed key to the
history Of all Italy, until Florence began to assume
the importance she once possessed as nation. The
second volume is devoted almost entirely to Flor
ence and the Florentines, from l434 until about the
commencement of the sixteenth century. Niccolo
Machavcl portrays with n maser-hand the event.
full history of Europe's most eventful times. He
exhibits to the world tracking in its devious course
the subtle influence of private ambition on the one
hand, and the rcvengeful operation of strong and
impetuous dcspotism on the other. He presents to
view the fatal consequences Of civil discord and the
glorious results brought about by the united efforts of
those who once loved liberty in ltalywho repealed
the aggressoDs Of the UNNECESSARILY more powerful
and for while wthstood the influences which have
overwhelmed their country under a despotism but
one remove from that of Russia. He teaches us
a lesson that should be studied by all who really de-
sire glorious national prosperity founded private
virtue. We have already expressed our admiration
of the labor. of Mr. Lester as translator. In this
work. he acquits himself as we'll as in tho translation
Of the "Chaenge of Barlcta," noticed in the
"Union" a few evenings since. We trust he may
proceed in his noble efforts TO famlarze the Amer
lean reading public, not only with the gems Of ltal-
ian literature, but, as in this work, with men and
things Of past ages, from which all may CLEAN in
formation likely to aid in avoiding the rocks and
shoals upon which the republics Of earlier days
were foundered.

The "New York Tribune" bubbles about our
contradiction of the story which il circulated about
MIR. Folks attempting to get back his letter to Mr..
Kane. Ii says that "the Union is not party to
this controversy, nor is its contradiction specific
as is needed to meet the case" How not sufficient.
ly specific We said "the statement in the Tribune
is entirely Enthusiastically Of the slightest be-
lief" The scribber who puts forth the other story
of Mr.. Walkers having written Mr.. Folks
letter to Mr. Kane, also pretends to say that we
have not directly contradic,ed his story. Why,
what do the authors of these statements expect Of
us' Must we not only say that both these state.
ments are false-that they idle, and contempti-
BILE fabrcations; but must add, that they are the
shameless fabricators Of absurd fasehoods1 True
as the Tribune says, we are "not. party in the
controversy" but we make our statements upon
"undoubted authority" from those who are the
parties.

SPANISH WHEAT.

We have received small bag Of Spanish wheat
from Mr.. Isaiah Townsend, Of Albany. fanega
of this wheat was sent to him by Don Maesino de
Aguirre, our consul at Bboa. II was raised in the
kingdom Of Leon, and considered among the best
wheas grown in Spain. Mr.. T. has distributed
samples for seed at several points in New York and
Michigan, and is anxious that il should also be
tried in Albemarle other equally favorable wheat
region Of Virginia. A letter in "The Culiivator''
for this month, (voL q No. OPP 1884, addressed TO
the New York State Agricultural Society, gives
some details respecting the wheat, which require
correction. The variety is from Leon, not Old
CASTLE; its weight by accurate measure and balance
GA, not 66I lbs. to the bushel.
A correspondent says, that "the wheat should
be carefully weighed before sowing, in order TO
determine accurately the increase in a soil and
climate like ours. If sown in drills, the ex-
pertinent would probably be more satisfactory;
and il an equal quantity Of native seed were placed
in the ground at the same iime and under like cir
cumstances, standard would be provided on the
spot for asceriaining the comparative hardihood,
time Of ripening, and producfivcness in grain and
straw, Of the foreign variety II is evident that, if
wheat Of this character can be acclimated without

loss Of weight quality, il would be valuable nc
QUESTION for American sgnculturc.p
We have sent the bag Of wheat to Virginia for
distribution.
We are also favored by Mr.. ]. F Callan, of this
city, with small specimens Of two new species Of
wheat--the China wheat, and the Oregon wheat.
The grains small, but they are said to be very
productive. We recommend TO farmers who wish
to make experiments on these varieties, TO apply
to Mr.. Calan for further information.
The Baltimore Sun makes some statements con-
corning them, which are calculated to draw the
attention of the public. 1t also acknowledges the
receipt of the two species of wheat:
at was taken from the Bloomfield estate, be-
longing TO Henry X. Snellzer, near Middletown,
Frederick county, Md. The Oregon wheat was
found or discovered, by missionary travelling
through that territory who brought il to this coun-
try in 1899. MIR. Smeltzer this year raised from
-four and quarter acres 2l2 bushels and 40 lbs,
which is fraction over so bushels to the acre.
This wheat is very hardy, of beautiful red color,
with smooth chaf, heads from five to six inches
long, and average 80 TO 100 to the head II is be-
eved II will yield at least 20 per cent more TO the
acre than the ordinary wheat, from the fact that il
has Is TO 20 grains more to the head. The history
of the CHINA wheat is rather singular. A few heads
were found in box Of China-ware imported from
the north Of China and the heads being so very large
and compact, the discoverer was induced to plant
them. Mr.. S. informs that last year he raised
Az bushels per with il, and this year Al bush
per acre. This is a beautiful white wheat, and
has heads or ears about long the Oregon
wheat and about the same number of grains to the
head. The China wheat is Of the early kind, and
so far, has not been injured by smut, mildew, or
Gy."

rio" uiis hVfninB nlCnmonu enquirer.
Mr. Bancroft, the Secretary of the Navy, accom-
panied by Commodores Warrington and Shubrick,
and DR.. Collins First Auditor, arrived in this city
from Washington on Sunday. They took the
steamboat yesterday morning for Norfolk. The
visit Of the Secretary of the Navy to Norfolk at this
time is mainly to examine into the practcability of
supplying the navy-yard with fresh water, by pipes
extending either to the Dismal Swamp canal (six
miles, or to the lake, (some ffteep naes) II is
most interesting period for visit TO our sister city,
as will be seen by the following extract from Fri
days Beacon. We feel assured that the accom-
plished Secretary will receive warm welcome from
the hospitable citizens of Norfolk and that per-
sona inspection of our noble vessels of war; and an
acquaintance with their gallant commanders and
officers, will beighten the interest he has shown for
the prosperity Of the navy:

he has immorialized in his able and learned History
of the United States.

apRoMPr ACTION. .

Under this caption, the "Hartford Times" does
justice to the administration in the following sketch
which il portrays Of their recent movements In re-
gard to Mexico, and il might equally have embraced
its measures respecting Texas. We have no doub,
that the same energy, with equal crcumspection,
viii be extended to the other great measures Of the
administration. In the reduction Of the tariff, the
same decision will be dispayed-the same, indeed,
in carrying out all the resolutions Of the Baltimore
convention, under whose principles Mr.. Polk was
eected-by whose pledges he is bound The Pres-
dent has hitherto been bold, decided, yet pru-
dent in his course. The spirit Of "Young Hick-
Dry" will continue to animate him. There is
no quality so necessary in an executive officer
us frmness. First discover what is right, then ad-
here to il. Let him take his course with wisdom,
then promote it with frmness. "Be strong, and
you will be strong" is OF the great secrets Of
success BY frmness, without passion, a Presi-
dent confirms his friends. He rallies them all
directly around him. He determines the doubt
ing men 10 come to his assistance. He moreover
impresses his opponents with certain degree of
respect for his decision, which insensbly soft
ems and effects their own conduct towards him.
