of the best of the age in the vain hope that his de-

these learned Doctors settle their private disputes Let
them become reconcied to each and act like breh
that they will be satisfied with their Bishop, and will
know how to love him and to stand by him through evil
and through good report But men who faithess to
ways at war with each other lie expected to be at
war with him; and now because the other Clergy who
live as brethren in Offices Of love- cannot enter into their
disputes and participate in their resentments they storm
and threaten and rage. They like bears and mourn
sore like doves

professions of piey You may depend upon that the
secret history Of all this hostility to the Bishop remains
to be written, and when it is written the Bishop will
come forth gold tried and purified by the fire.

showed us yesterday sample OF wild hemp iouno

though IN external appearance it approaches the
New Zealand hemp. Its discovery accidental. A

warehouse, accidentally saw some Manila hemp, made
inquiry what was and upon being informed that
Manila hemp, said he had produced something exactly
like 1t from weed his farm, and that he would send

Wakefield. Another, "American," in which

thors. And the third, "Foreign," consisting
chiefly of translations Of works Of interest,
written in languages other than the En-
glisb.
These series together have already reach
ed large number of volumes of unsur-
passed value, ana comprising greaJ ,~,,o-

The great consumption Of coal in the
manufacture Of gas, has induced efforts 10
purify the gas, and to apply the products to
agriculture. In London The annual rental
paid to the companies for coal gas is :f60O,-
600, and $50, 900 tons of coal are annually
consumed in lis manufacture. This, Of
course, forms but a small portion of the
quantity Of gas consumed, or 6f06 used,
in preparing gas " the United - fom.-
The unpleasant and unhealthy ellluwa given
off has induced many to attempt purifica-
ton Of the gas. bu. at last simple process
has been discovered of freeing 1t Of am monia
and its other combinations. This process
may be found reported at length in the Lon
don 10 urnal Of Science, for this month. l,
is very important, and we may allude to il
again. The publication is effected by using
dry instead Of ,oet lime purifiers. The saw
ing by this process has been very great in
various departments of manufacture, and the
illuminative power has been increased five
per cent, so that it may now be used in the
bed chamber with as little Inconvenience Of
effluvium as wax candle.

SHOE PEGs.-A writer in the Boston Evening

Perhaps you have not seen what have,

chisels, driven by water power, and forty BUSH

turned out in day. cannot describe the pro.
cess to YOU, but only say, they are as neat as a
pin. The last process revolves long enough
for the friction Of each pin against its neighbor,
to do the business Of polishing itself to nicely.
They are put up in clean cotton bags Of bushel
each, and sent to Boston. This Yankee peg
is now exported and used in the shops Of
London
Among the late American inventions we no..
tice one for filing sa,os, which will prove q very
time saving machine. The machine has two
files, each attached to sliding carriage, for the
purpose Of passing it over the saw and they
are connected with levers, so arranged as to
lift the files from the saw on the back move
ment, to permit the saw to be moved forward
and present the teeth in succession to their
action.

TIE DISEASE IN POTATOES.

Lord Hardwicke, Lord Lieutenant Of Cam.
brdgcshire and the Isle Of Ely, has addressed
the following recommendation to the labores OF
his jurisdiction. Is it not deserving Of attention
by the farmers Of this country!
Fellow Countrymen,-A sense Of duty indu-
ces me 10 address you on the subject Of the po-
tatoe.
II is not necessary on this occasion to state
the nature or cause of the decay of that most
important article of food
wish to induce you to look forward to the
consequence Of ncglectng the endeavor to stop
the progress Of the evil. If you do neglect to
do so, all will DO lost
From all can learn moisture is the food on
which the decay increases, and dryncss the
medicine to be used for the cure.
Therefore, do not pit the potatoes in the usu-
al way; but, after most carefully picking them,
and separating the bad from the good, place the
good under a roof (f you have space,) placed
in layers, and not more than four potatoes deep,
so that they may keep efectually dry.
Where you have not house room, expose
them to the sun and air during dry weather on
the surface of the ground, and then pile them
in small conical heaps on the surface, matching
them over with straw, and cutting a deep
trench round about them with a good drain
from the trench TO carry of the water.
Pick the best potatoes for seed next year,
and take them into the cottage, keeping them
quite dry, and let no price induce you to part
with them for next year seed will not be pro-
durable
i also advise that at present you do not sell,
for feel sure that at no very distant period the
price Of the potatoo will be unprecedented.
further advise all who have pitted potatoes
at once to open the pits, and pick the potatoes

WAsmINGToN, Nov. 19.-Some state
men,s have lately appeared in the "Demo-
cratic Union," the organ of Mr. Buchanan,
in Pennsylvania, which are entitled 10 con-
sideraion, as they undoubtedly are from a
confidential friend of the Secretary of State.
The writer intimates that Mr. Buchanan, in
leaving the Cabinet, will not do so at the re-
quest of the President, but by his own free
will and that, in taking seat on the bench
of the Supreme Court, he will afford an OPP
portuni,y TO Nj fancy TO resign, on account
of his i'll health, and make room for Mr. Bu-
chanan as Chief Justice. This situation, he
says, will not put Mr. B. beyond the reach of
call from the people to the Presidency.
Farther, this oracle says that there will be
no change in the tariff, at least during the
twenty ninth Congress.-N. y Commercial
Advertiser.

is foolish, he is apt to be great deal more
foolish than any body else.
We have not done with this pamphlet nor
its author by any means, but we dismiss II
for The present with an expression Of sincere
regret that the people Of the State could not
have been permitted 10 repose unmolested
in the state Of mortified resignation in which
they we're contemplating the scenes Of last
year, and looking forward 10 the six that
are TO come.

A CuRIosITy.-On Saturday we saw at the
store of DR.. Chiffon, in Broadway, opposite the
Park, living chameleon. Just arrived from
Borneo. I, was black when We saw it first, but
few minutes previous, it had been nearly
white. The present specimen Of this most ex
traordinary animal, which has the appearance OF
very ugly lizard, is about sixteen inches in
length, and perhaps three or four in circumier,,
ence at its largest part Its eyes are placed
within dirty brown skin, looking like small
and very brilliant diamonds set in brown stone
It feeds on flies and other insects. which 1t
catches with its tongue, darling 1t out with the
velocity OF lightning, and with unerrng accura-
cy, a distance Of at least foot 1t is truly a
great curiosity. very few we believe ever having
been brought here alive.-Courier.
