WEATHER SIGNS FROM PLANTS.-Some
one has said that not only the coming
weather may be foretold by an acquaintance
with flowers, but also the time of the day
and the time of the year; and, in fact, Lin
neus possessed such knowledge of them
that he needed neither watch nor calendar,
nor weather glass. Lord Bacon observed
that when the flowers of the chick-weed eX-
banded fully and boldly no rain will sue
coed for some hours or days. If the flowers
of the Siberian sow-thistle keep open during
the night, rain, it is said, is certain to fall
the next day. The leaves of the trefoil are
always contracted at the approach Of a
storm. If the African marigold does not o.
pen its flowers by o'clock in the morning,
rain may be expected with certainty ON that
day. An uncommon quantity of seeds is
produced by white thorns and dog rose
bushes in wet summers and this is consid-
cred sign of severe winter. Many
plants with compound flowers direct them
towards the east in the morning, carefully
following the direction of the sun, and APP
pearing towards the west in the evening !;
but before rain they are punctually closed as
with the tulip. A species of wood sorel
doubles its leaves before storm, but UNI
folds them under q clear sky-Cassia and
the sensitive plant do the same. The flow
ers of the pimpernal appearing widely open
in the morning indicates fair day, and, if
the petals are closed, rain may be expected
soon. Nettles appearing abundantly in win
ter indicates a mild season.

THE TELEGRAPH IN ST. LOUIS.

We are indebted to the ReuelIs Tor the
slde-splitting sketch which follows:
Two men from the interior, apparently
marketers, halted at the corner OF our alley
last evening and listened attentively to the
clinking of our press.
"What on earth is that rattlin machine?"
inquired one of the other.
"D'no," answered the questioned party,
standing ready at the same time to beat a
retreat if the ''noisy varmint' should make
asudderappearance. "Dno what in thun-
der it is, but it keeps on tremendous rack
et-it mout be be a te1egraf, Ike?'
"Good as wheat tits the TELEGRAPH, sure
enuff, SAM" replied Ike. 81 heerd tina wur
gettin' it fixed up yur in s.. Louis. 'Spose'n
we take squint at the fashin' thing while
its goin' !"
They cautiously approached the window
of the press-room and peeped IN.
They first eyed the machine, then the
negro at the wheel, then the pressman, and
finally, stopped down to look beneath for
the lightning.
"That's it, shure enuf," says Ike, "and
that teller is taken down them sheets what
thur sayin' in New York Well, if these
times don't beat hoe'n' taters, then I'm a
sinner! What on airth's goin' to come to

"What in the yearth are tina doin' with

"Now you stump me-" says Ike, ''for

AGRlCU LTURAL-~-S SCIENTIFIC.
MANAGEMENT OF ANIMALS.

In breaking or managing horse, howey.
er intractable or stubborn his temper may
be retain your own. Almost every fault of
the bruit arises from ignorance. Be patient
with him, teach and coax him, and success
in time is certain. There are tricks, how
ever, which are the results of confirmed hab-
its of viciousness, and these sometimes re-
uuire different treatment. A horse accus-
toned to starting and running away may
be efectually cured by putting him to the
top of his speed on such occasions, and run
ming him till pretty thoroughly exhausted
A horse that had trick of pulling at his
bride and breaking it, was at last reduced
to better habits, by tying him TO a stake
driven in the bank of deep stream. With
his tail pointing to the water, he commenced
pulling at, the halter, which suddenly par
ted, over the bank he tumbled, and after a
somerset or two and Laundering awhile in
the water, he was satisfied to remain at his
most in future, and break no more brides,
A ram has been cured of butting at eve
rything and every body by placing an unre-
sisting efhgy in similar position; when a
sudden assault on wintry day resulted IN
tumbling his ramship into cold bath, which
his improved manners took good care to a.
void in future.
A sheep-killing dog has been made too
much ashamed ever again to look sheep
in the face, by tying his hind legs to stout
ram on the brow Of hill, while the flock
were quietly feeding at the bottom. On be-
inc SET free and somewhat startled in setting
out in haste to rejoin his friends, he tum-
bled and thumped master Tray so sadly over
the stones and gullies, that he was quite
satisfied to confne himself to cooked NUT
ton thereafter.
Mans reason was given him to control
''the beast of the field and the birds of the
air." by other means than brute force. If
he will bring this into play he will have no
difficulty in meeting and overcoming every
emergency ofperverse instinct or bad habits
in the dumb things, by his superior cum
ning.--.4merican Agricu'tWrist.
