trrnch women ought 10 be dressed IN pants ,,nl
put into the army: They make capital soldiers, and
VIII tight as heroically as the men All those be.
longing to the army are dressed in the uniform of
their companies, wear their sword whenever they
travel the streets, alone in company, and march
with the firmness and strength of the male soldiers.
Indeed, see no difference between the male and
female soldiers of the French army.
The result of the elections has caused great
agitation in the Assembly. Some say that the
days OF June are coming round again. One state
forward his election; that he had GO clerks en-
pl0yed, and bought up the Assembv N1tionale for
four or five days, having all its colu ms devoted
to his interests. NJ Marrast is again reelected
President OF the Assembly. Counsel were changed,
Dufaure declined being a candidate and M. Mar
rast received SGT votes in go In abiding to the
tetes given by Marrast-hls increased salary of
5000 francs month extra, making 10000 now,
whereas the original sum which others received
was only 1000, and to the monarchical tendencies
and alliances Of the republic, the Reforme says,
"the point Of sword will engrave upon the stone
of its sepulchre-here lies small aid modest Re-
public, whose lie was short, but well employed,
forn knew how to prescribe and to dance, at The
same time" The Reforme represents Ledru Rol-
lin and the republicans Of his school. The Re-
Jorme further says, that if change not soon
made In the proceedings OF the Government, 1t
will soon be at a point where the response will be,
"H est trOp tdrd."
The Assembly have decided to appropriate fifty
millions to COLOMBO Algeria, and to use up that
sum In three years. Among other things, the land
is to be parcelled out IN small quantities, to every
family, and such family Is to receive so much mo-
ney and neces saries, and be transported there at
the expense OF the State. Gen: Lamorlciere has
framed the bill, and the Assembly adopted all his
views. He has been a long time IN Algeria, and
is very sensible man, and brave and gallant
officer. Sixty squads of men had to be employed
IN taking down the placards after the elections,
from the walls, &c., In Paris. The expense of this
election has been immense to the parties.

Affairs IN France, &c.
France has sent orders to interfere, to arrest the
spilling Of blood, IN the war between Naples and
Sicily. Messina has been a scene of slaughter,
and CRIME and brutality, not heard Of In these mo-
dem days of warfare. All the accounts concur
IN stating that both sides roasted and eat large
numbers of the enemy, and committed every spe-
cies of crime and of brutality. The Sicians
fought with desperation, set fire to the city where
they found they could not defend lt,-as many got
on board the different ships in the harbor as pos
s,ble. The slaughter upon both sides has been
very large and France, In behalf of the calls of

the subsequent rains wash into the cre-
vices. This wash, if applied in the
summer time, will, while. the ashes
remain on the Tree, make il. offensive.
and disagreeablea to the insects, aud
deter them from lighting on it; also,
ultimately makes the bark smooth and
healthy. n
BY those who wish for healthy and
productive orchards too much attention,
cannot be given to the bark Of their
lrres. We frequently meet with forest
trees whose interior has been almost
entirely destroyed by fire or decay, and
which vet seem healthy and fourishing
by virlne Of vigorous bark; and any.
one who has tried the experiment must
have observed how both shrubs and
trees, that have become enfeeebled by.
age and neglect. can be rejuveaated
by attention to their exlerior condition..
We do not lean 10 recommend 10 any
to procure old or large trees for his
orchard in place of young ones, but
if lie has an old apple Tree worth improv-.
ing, by removing tie outside of The
whole bark on i. late in The spring he
will find tha, he has given to the tree
much additional vigor. Upon smaller
trees and shrubs, liberal scraping with
a ,rowel and an application Of ashes
and water will have the same effect.
When trees. grow in grassy land,
pretty good way 10 keep them from
being sod-bound is to remove in the
fall the sod for two or three feet around
the tree, and on this turn about half
a whrel-barrow full Of manure the
winter rains and SHOWS will wash the
strength of it to the tibrous roois. In
the spring the manure may be. scattered
about under the tree, and in lieu Of il
substitute leached ashes. This, bes,des
beng beneficial to the tree, prevents
the grass from approaching the stem Of
the tree during the summer, and what
grass grows over the ashes is easily re-
mhved ia The fall. -
In conclusion we would say, The
farmer who cnrries his horse twice a
lay finds himself abnndantly rewarded
for his toll, in The improved strength and
appearance of his animal; Why don's
he curry his trpps once or twice year, +,
and reap larger reward for the labor
and the capital thus invest3d2 -
