France.

France consents 10 exhibit most unseemly com.
bination Of arrogance and weakness, which lust
now characterizcs public men and public bodies
generally. The long debate in the Legislative As
sembly, on the conduct of affairs in the Rio dc In
Plata, has ended in a compromise between the war
party and the government. To the ministerial de-
mand for a vote of money, the committee had ap-
pended suggestion indicating an armed intcrven-
tion TO establish the independence of Montevideo,
as half French settlement whose political isolation
would be very advantageous TO French influence and
interests in that quarter. This involved total dis
allowance of the treaty concluded between Admiral
Lepredour and the President Rosas, which favored
isters wished TO tcmporize They evidently desire
Plata 10 Rosas; whether because they really believe

French influence by tacking il 10 Rosas-thc adj
venturous chief who might be fostered into a
scourge OF Brazil, that natural ally Of Engand-we
do not know. But they had not the courage to
avow their purpose and stick TO il; they proposed
70 gain time by disalowing the treaty and econ
hnuing the negotiations" The array against them
in the Assembly formidable, especially as il
included NJ. Theirs; and il manifest that they
would not be able TO maintain their original posi-
ton. Nj. Rance moved friendly amendment, vir-
tually accepting the ministers suggestion, but more
distinctly pcdsing them TO forciblc protection OF
French interests. This was carricd-no party OBJ

The majority in the Assembly is very domineer-

NAPoLEoS's VETERANs.--A correspondent of the
Boston Alias, writing from Paris, describes the fol-
lowing scene
"a strange and ghosty spectacle came athwart
our gay and busy streets the anniversary Of the
death of the Emperor Napoleon. The few remain
ing relics Of that great army, sound and whole
enough TO walk, assembled beneath the column of
the Place Vcndome, and repaifod in procession to
the Invalides, 10 celebrate Mass in honor Of his
name. cannot describe 20 you the effect of the
asscmblage Of withered spcctres attred in the uni
forms of the regiments TO which they had belonged
II seemed as ii each had risen from the tomb or
risen from the battle field, wherein they had been
once rotting in the sun or stiffcnng in the snow
The procession passed without exciting the slicbt-
est enthusiasm; the crowd followed it in silence and
in awe. The church was hung with black. and the
places round the altar were reserved for the vote
rams of the Guard, Of whom three and twenty vet
remain. The celebrated Hulan, whose Jaw was
shot away in seeking TO place himself before the
emperor, in a skirmish in Russia acted as sacris
ian, and his silver jaw bone fresh polished for the
occasion, shone and glittcred in the sun, while
Mamelouk Ferdah, without legs, and in possession
Of but one eye, claimed the honor of holding the
chief taper. Altogether. il one Of the most
nervous and extraordinary ceremonies ever wit.

The discussion in relation to the culture
Of Wheat, which took place in Albany at
one Of the weekly meetings held during the
past winter. brought out some useful facts
which we think are not generally known,
and their insertion in our pages may in,e.
rest and benefit our readers.
Mr.. Brewer. Of Tompkins county, said
he had cultivated wheat for more than 90
years, and would give some of the results
of his experience. A part Of his farm, which
in 1890 was an open common, has been
wholly devoted 10 wheat and clover since
that time, having produced l3 crops whea,
and 8 Of clover. The soil IS rather pra.
yelly loan. His farm is on one of the hills,
towards The head of Cayusa Lake, which it
is said were burned over by The Indians
every year. He made various experiments
IN plowing at different depihs-from to Z
inches-and has always had The best crops
where the burrows have been shallowesr.
Usually, Plowed but once Tor wheat
sometimes in May, bu, had no better crops
than when he plowed in September. Just
before sowing. The yields he had obtained
were from lG 10 2G bushels per acre. On /.
new lands. stiff soils for instance, it might .
be necessary TO plow more than once Tor a
wheat crop. and in such cases i, might be
better to plow deep The frs. time.
Mr.. Il. stated, that he bad made some
trials with various quantities of seed per
acre-as II, Is, 2, and %, bushe!s-and
had usually got the bcs, returns from The
latter quantity; that is, q bushels of seed
had given from , 10 3 bushels more Weld
per acre than bushels of seed aud 6 bu.
