The ART OF GROWING TREEs FROM CUT
rINGs. Professor DelacroiX Of BesanCOn, in
France, has discovered mode Of propagating
from cuttings, which is not only successful in
cases Of roses and other plants easy to live, but
apples, pears, plums, apricotS, sc. Out Of an
hundred cuttings put out in June, not one but
was thriving in August in the open air, without
shade or extra care, exc ept watering a few times
soon after they were planted. His method is
to put the whole cutting in the ground, bent in
the form Of a bow, with the centre part up, and
Just on level with the surface, at which point
there must be good bud or shoot, which is the
only part exposed to the air: the other being
protected by the earth from drying up sup.
ports and gives Vigor to the bud which starts di-
rectly into leaf, and in its turn helps the cut
ting to form roots and the whole even forms a
thriving tree. rhe method of setting them
is to form two drills about three inches apart,
with sharp ridge between, over which bend
the cutting, and stick an end in each drill, and
cover up and press the earth firmly, and water
freely. Cuttings should be Of last years growth,
frersh and vigorous. --Soieatifc american.

PRESENT TO AN EDIToR.--Ihe Editor Of the
New York journal Of Commerce has received
from Florida, four quarts Of mosquitoes, in a
glass receiver or jar, marked "Preoered Mos
Quitos from Florida" They are specimens Of
the mosquitoes which, according to a statement
in the Journal Of Commerce, thrust their bills
through an old boiler, in which an unhappy
Yankee had taken refuge to avoid the enormous
mosquitoes OF the ever. gades. The story goes,
that the Yankee, on finding how matters stood
in the morning, went to work and ClnChed all
the bills inside the boiler, when the mosquitoes
taking the alarm, rose with the boiler and flew
off at laundering rate, in the direction Of The
Okeefcnokee swamp. Nothing is now wanted
to substantiate the story, but the boiler

No USE FOR TRowsERS.--On the morning

On going to his door, be saw with amazement,
the sky lighted up with the falling meteors, and
he concluded at once that the world was on fire,
and that the day of judgment had come. He
stood for moment gazing in speechless terror
at the scene, and then with yell Of horror,
sprung out Of the door into the yard, right in
the midst Of the falling stars, and here in his
efforts to dodge them, he commenced series

CUBAs RIoTs IN NEW ORLEANS. I'm trana-

the Spanish Minister. claiming indemnity for
Spanish subjects, who sustained injury in the
popular tumult at New Orleans in August last,
the President says;
"Perhaps one ground upon which this indem-
nifty, not large in amount, may BY granted,
without establishing a dangerous precedent.
and the granting Of which would commend
itself to. the generous feelings Of the entire
country, is that the. Queen Of Spain, with a
marnsnimity worthy Of all cOmmendation, in
a. case where we had no legal right to solicit
| the favor, granted free pardon to the persons
who had so uniustifiably invaded her domin-
ions and murdered her subjects, in violation OF
her own laws as we'll as those Of the United
States and the public law Of nations. Such an
act of mercy, which restored many misguided
and unfortunate youths Of this country to their
parents and friends, seems to merit some cor
responding act Of magnanimity and generosity
on the part Of the Government Of this country"

he could mot bless the marriage OF Jew. The

The Pope refused to authorize the marriage
They then turned to the other side. For want
of a Catholic blessing on their marriage the
llady consented to receive that Of the jew. They
applied tothe Grand Rabbi; but he not less ex-
lclusive than the Pope, and refused the marriage
of a Catholic. The Pope refused to bless the
Jew; the Rabbi refused to marry the christiani
the young people were either prevented from
lmarrying, or were to be married without a
bonediction. Then the uncle OF the young
bridegroom advised them, as the last resource,
to address themselves to one Of his colleagues,

G57A Wisconsin paper tells of Miss Emma
Thayer, young lady fifteen years Of age, liy
ing at Rawley's bay, near tine town of Two Ri
vers, who, while walking on the beach in COM
pany with another young lady, saw a wolf a
short distance off watching deer that he had
driven into the lake. With courage rarely
equaled, she drove the wolf away aud into the
lake and brought the deer on shore by the ear;
but, after petting him short time, the ungal-
liant fellow made several attempts to get away,
and finally carried matters so far as to knock
her down and tear her dress, when, becoming
justly incensed by such behavior, she took a
stone and dashed out his brains, the wolf all the
time standing a short distance off, silent spec
tator of that fight, in which he took no further
part than by showing formidable row Of teeth
occasionally to show his disapprobation Of her
interference. 1t is safe enough to predict that
if this girl lives few years longer, she will
be able to whip her weight in wildcats, out
scream the Catamount, give the young "badger''
the heartaehe, and, what is better, preside with
grace and dignity over some "wild Wisconsin
home."

AN lMPUDENT FRoLIC.-NOtWlthsta all
the trouble we have passed through, there is
still as much fun and frolic in Paris as ever
there was, and sometimes people have to pay
dearer for their Jokes than they anticipate
As an instance of this few days ago, four
young bloods entered one Of our principal res
lahrants together, and being a little fighty
from the fumes Of the wine they had imbibed,
they entered into conversation that did more
honor to their Imagination than to their mod
Csty. One Of them wagered that he would
kiss any lady that his companions pointed out
TO him, provided she were young and pretty.
The wager was accepted, and the four young
5ters left the hotel together When they had
reached the Boulevard dc la Madeline they saw
an elegantly dressed and handsome lady steT
from smart carnage,
There's the woman you are to kiss, said
one OF the young men to him who had laid
the wager, and the young man Immediately
stepped up to the fair Partisan and kissed her
saying at the same time
"Ah my dear cousin, how it has surpris.

the face Of the young man, who stood for a mo,
ment stupefied at the unexpected propagation.
However, the two antagonists exchanged cards,
and met the same day at the Bois de BonlOgne,
where the young man received a sabre thrust
that nearly cost him his life. He is, however
