GUY-CoTToN.-1'he following is from
the London correspondence Of the NY
Journal of Commerce:
The Academy of Sciences, Paris, had
a meeting Nov. ,, for the purpose of CON
sidering this important DISCOVERY. Near
IL 4 dozen persons have, as it were, sl-
multanenusly, declared themselves to have
rendered cotton explosive, but the scienti.
fc men Of France appear TO consider Nj
Schonbein as having brought his prepare
ton TO the most perfection. His modus
operandi he keeps to himself, having oo-
tanned patents in France and England; but
his samples are more approved than those
prepared after the suggestions of Otto, OF
Brunswick, and Prof. Taylor, of England.
Schonbein's gun-colton is to be perfect
substitute for gun-powder, being more
powerful than the latter, and capable of
being made and used at all times with less
risk. The process of manufacturing, as
! far as we are at present acquainted with
details, is by taking equal quantities of the
suIphuric acid of commerce, and strong
nitric acid of commerce, mix in porce-
lain vessel, and then plunge in as much
cotton as can become saturated with the
same; cover up with glass, and leave
the mixture in repose for some minutes.
then wash off with water all the acid, and
dry the cotton in warm air Twelve grs
of this preparation sert ball, from
musket, requiring % grs. of powder, thro
two inch oak planks. NJ. Pelouse stated
that the gun-cotton was nothing more than
Xvloidne which was discovered in 1898
but he had no idea at that time that il
could be used as a substitute for gunpow-
der. Eight years ago he made inhamma-
bic paper, and recently tried this paper in
pistol, three grains TO the charge, send
ing ball through "a inch plank at %
metres distance. The engineers of arlil-
lery had given opinions adverse TO the use
of gun>c0tton, as it left residiun of wa
ter and charcoal, and frequently passed off
through the touch-hOle, instead of acting
on the ball.

During my noviciate, passed in small

with a family named Hibbs, IA nom de

Mr.. and Mrs. Hibbs, and son. They were

fully made up for all their Deficiencies OF

a Southern planter They were orIgl-
naHy from Virginia, from whence they
had emIgrated IN search OF a cline more
GENIAL. and soil more productive than
those in which their fathers toIIed. lheI'
search had been rewarded, their expecta
tons realized, and now, in their old age
though not wealthy in the I" AStorIan'
sense, they had sufficient to keep the ""oL
from the door," and drop something more
substantial than confidence ana tears over
the sufferings of poverty.
The old man was like the generality o
old cotton planters, men whose ambition
is embraced within the family circle, ant
whose thoughts turn more upon the I'M
provement of their places, and the prices
of 'Sea lsand'' and " Mastodon," thar

The following from the N. York Sun

country and in favor of Mexico:

were entertained that our Congress would
take the negotiations out OF the hands OF
the President and compel the Withdrawal
of the American forces.
II was understood that the first move
ment in our Congress would be an attack
on the President, if not an effort TO I'M

Mexican gentleman alluded to, "a war pc

How and when to Woo.
BY w. c. BRYANT.

BY w. C. BRYANT.
Dost thou idly ask to hear
At what gentle seasons
Nymphs relent when lovers near
Press the tenderest passions!
All they give their faith too oft
To the careless wooer,
Maidens' hearts are ALWAYS soft
Would that mems were truer!
Woo the fair one, when around
Early birds are singing;
When Ger all the fragrant ground,
Early herbs are springing
When the brookside, bank and grove,
All with blossoms laden,
Shine with beauty, breathe of love-
Woo the timid maiden.
Woo her when, with rosy blush,
Summers eve is sinking;
When on riIls that gently gush,
Stars are softly Winking;
When thro' boughs that knit the bower
Moonlight CLEANS are stealing;
Woo her till the gentle hour
Wakes a gentler feeling.
Woo her when autumnal dyes
Tinge the woody mountain;
When the dropping foliage lies
In the half-choked fountain.
By the scene that tells how fast
Youth is passing over,
Warn her ere her bloom is past,
To secure her lover.
Woo her when tire North winds can
At the lattice nightly;
When, within the cheerful hall,
Blaze the taggots brightly;
While the wintry tempest round
Sweeps the landscape hoary,
Sweeter in the ear shall sound
Loves delightful story.
