A dinner was giTsn by the citizens of Albany,
on Wednesday, to the Hon. Edward Gilbert.
one of the members of Congress from Califor-
MIA, at Congress Hail, and the occasion was one,
says the Albany Journal. of peculiar interest
-Four years ago young journeyman printer
lett Albany city as a volunteer for California.
When The war in which he had engaged had
terminated honorably, the young soldier sheath
ed his sword and resumed his stick. Establish
ing the Alta CALIFORNIA in the yet almost unpeo-

Intelligence and discretion, aided largely in
giving form, order and stability TO the elements
out OF which society and government we're con-
structed. Having assisted in framing Consti-
tuition eminently enlightened and free, the eIcc-
tors OF the new State Of California manifested
their sense of the services aud worth of their
fellow citizen, BY making hun their Representa-
tive in Congress.
In reply to complimentary toast, MIR. Gilbert
made 4 very eloquent speech, viudicating the
constitution and people Of California from the
various attacks made upon them He denied
that they had acted under Executive dictation,
and declared that let Congress do what it would,
slavery never conld enter California.
He said that California would not rebel, even
if her application should be rejected But it
would be a sore trial of her patience. One
thing he deemed certain-she never could be
re,nAnded back TO territorial government.

SUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENT IN AERosTA-
TIoN.-Mr. Bell, a gentleman connected
with the medical faculty of London, has
achieved new discovery in the science Of
aerostation-that of controlling, directing,
or steering balloon A London paper
says that one evening the appearance of a
balloon of singular form traversing the
metropolis, occasioned some speculation as
to whether the frail car, from its oscillating
gyrations, contained an animate or inani-
mate eronaut The occupant of the car
was the gentleman above mentioned, who
unanswered his bark through the realms oil
air with great dexterity. His new balloon
is of an elliptic shape, somewhat resembling
in form the Spanish melon or vegetable mar
row, manufactured of the finest silk, with
netting of cordage, and with spring valve
constructed on an entire new principle. II
was estimated that the balloon would con-
tain about Is 900 cubic feet Of gas, its d.
mensions being so feet in length and ~
feet in diameter The imitation took place
from the monster gasometer Of the Phoenix
Gas Works, under the direction Of Mr.. Mum
roe, the superintendent. The ascent was
made at about six o'clock, and the descent
took place at Essex, with result favorable
to the intrepid eronaut, but causing the loss
of life Of man who had kindly fastened
to the rescue of Mr.. Bell, in his periious de-
scent from the regions above.

We have made some trial with milet and
are well pleased. thus far. A piece of
meadow, where the grass had failed, was
turned over about the first Of June, aud
some coarse yard manure spread and har-
rowcd in. About the first Of July, milIet
and grass were sown, about twelve quarts
of the former to an acre. The miIlet pro-
duced good crop. The result of the grass
seed we know not, not having seen it this
spring. If millet is designed for seed it
should be sowed thinner, and some REFER
ence 10 the state of the ground as to weeds,
should be had. But if designed to cut when
the head is fully formed, aud seed in milk
and cured for fodder, there is no more
trouble about weeds, than in crop of bar
ley or wheat. II may be sown much later
than oats, and the danger and difficulty of
curing for fodder is really less than in the
case Of corn. Its comparative value we
have not tested. The millet may be era
died and bound, or moved and raked as
hay. We should prefer binding, as it is in
fine state for the hay cutter In each
case it dries easily.-Berkshirc Cuhurisf.

Small Sweet Courtesies of Life

Extract Of letter of the late William int 10 his daughter
81 want TO tell you secret. The way
to make yourself pleasing to others, is to
show that you care for them. The whole
world is like the miller at Mansfield, who
cared for nobcdy-no, not he-because no.
body cared for him." And the whole world
will serve you so, if you give them the
same cause. Let every one, therefore, see
that you do care for them by showing them
what Sterne SO happily calls "the small
sweet courtesies of life, Those courtesIes
in which there is no parade, whose voice Is
too still to lease, and which manifest them
selves bv tender and affectionate looks, aud
little kind acts of Misunderstanding others
the preference in every little enjoyment at
the table, in the field, walking, sitting OF
standing. This is the spirit that gives to
your time of life, and to your sex its sweet.
est charms. 1t constitu es the sum total Of
all the witchcraft of woman. Let the world
see that YOUR first care is for yourself, and
you will spread the solitude OF the uPas
tree around you, in the same way, by tie
emanation of poison, which kills all the
Juices of affection in its neighborhood.--
Such girl may be admired for her under
standing and accomplishments, but she new
er will be beloved.
The seeds Of love can never grow but un.
der the warm and genial influence OF kind
feelings and afectionate manners. vsac,-
ty goes a great way in young persons. Il
calls attention to her who displays IT; and
if it then be found associated with gen.
erous sensibiIity, its execution is irres'st'-
BILE. -.
On the contrary, if it be found in ALI
ance with cold, naughty. selfish heart, it
produces no further effect, except an adverse
one. Attend to this my daughter. II flows
from a heart that feels for you all the anxl-
ETY. parent can feel, aud not without that
hope which constitutes the parents highest
happiness. May God protect and bless
you"

Political.
From the Washington Republic.
The Tariff-.Specif1c Duties.

4ue AdTlU.eSpecAuc OuCle0s
The President, at the opening of the
present session, recommended an amend
ment to the Tariff of '46, with view to
extend adequate protection to all branches
of American industry.
The great difficulty with that tariff con-
sists in the fact that all the duties are ar
ranged on ad ralorem principles.
In this respect that bill is unprecedented
in the history Of the country. In every in
stance, from the foundation Of the Repub-
lie to this day, the duties have been made
more or less specific.
The general rule has been, that the duty
on any given article, should be specific, land
the ad valorem principle has been admitted
only where. from the nature of the article,
the former was inapplicable OF unattainabIe
The modern practice, throughout the
world, with the exception Of our own coun-
try, is specific in reference to ilnposts. Ali
enlightened European nations practice ac-
cordingly.
1t may be asked, what are specific duties
A specific duty is some precise sum which
any measure Of quantity or value is bound
to pay.
An I'D valorem duty is certain per CEN
tage on the cost Of the article ia the coun-
try from which it is imported. The import
ing party produces his own invoice, and on
making oath thereto, the amount he has TO
pay is ascertained BY his own testimony and
BY calculation, in conformity with The rule

Reciprocity in trade with Canada


Reciprocity in trade with Canada.
Ma. EDIroR Having waited somewhat
impatiently, expecting that some of our
Wing editors would speak out in condem-
nation of a scheme which our Canadian
neighbors are moving heaven and earth to
accomplish, l mean the Reciprocity
Bill" as it is ed,-and believing the bill
to be fraught with incaculable mischief to
the farmers of Western Vermont, especial
ly; wish briefly to call attention to the
subject. After the passing Of the tariff Of
lS46, and the consequent depreciation Of
the price of Wool, Tour then main staple
product many OF our farmers turned their
attention to raising grain, coarse grain prin-
cipally, as in that, on account Of the cost
Of transportation, the West cannot compete
with US. Our markets were the lumber and
iron districts Of Northern New York, and
although we had to be content with less
profits than formerly, It was better than for
all to raise wool and keep the market glut-
ted, and no profits At al. The result has
been, the market has been cleared Of wool,
prices have improved, and prosperity again
began to dawn upon u. With the perse-
verance Of New Euglanders, We had ac-
commodated ourselves to the circumstances.
