KossurH's DEpaRToRE.-.James


Watson Webb, always the enemy of
'sthe great Hungarian exile, thus no
tices the remarkable contrls. between
his arrival in this country and his
departure:
( On the 9th day of December last,
Lewis Kossuth, in Hungarian cloak,
hat and plume, landed on our shores
amid bur SITS Of music, waving ofaags,
ringing Of bells, roaring of artillery,
and the VACCINATIONS Of hundred
thousand men; and, with all the i'm
posing effect that popular enthusi-
asm and military pageantry could
give, was borne through our streets,
the guest of the Nation. On the
18th of the present month, oNit-
day before Observation-Disclosures
Smith, palas and humble man in
plain citizens dress. walked silently
on board the steamship Africa, bound
for Liverpool just FIVE minutes pre-
VlOus 10 net departure, and, quietly
depositing his few effects in the
state room which had been taken in
his name, was, amid the unconeem
of men, and the repose of nature,
borne away from our shores as many
a member Of that family has been
borne before. There was a mighty
difference between the entrance Of
Lewis Kossuth and the exit of Alex
ander Smith; and yet both were ono
Ianhth9 same identical man. In
pi1in terms, the great Hungarian has
quit us--quit US three days before
the time publicly designated for his
doing so, and quit US too under the
covert OF an ALIAS.
BIG CbRN.-The New Orleans Pic
ayune has some cars OF corn, raised
on the Isthmus Of Tehuantepec, six

The COw-TREE-The Palo de Va
ca, or Cow-Tree, is one Of the most
remarkable trees in the forests of
Brazil. During several months in
the year, when no rain falls, and its
branches are dead and dried up, if
the trunk be tapped, sweet nutri-
tious milk exudas. The flow is
,n6St ah,,nJoDt . .,,,.,.. M
the natives receive the milk into
large vessels, which soon grows yellow
and thfckens on the surface. Some
drink plentifully of it under the
tree; others take it home to their
children. One might imagine he
saw a shepherd distributing the milk
Of his flock. 1t is used in lea and
coffee, in place Of common milk.
The cow-tree is one of the largest
in the Brazilian forests, and is used
in ship-building.
The number OF landholders, that
is, persons owning farms, in this
country, is said to be about enc mil
lion and a half out, of twenty mil
lions of white population. in
Great Britain, the lumber OF land
holders is only thirty thousand ont
of population Of twenty seven
millions.
There is a plant in the Island Of
Sunatra, the circumference Of
whose fully expanded flower is
nine feet-iis nectarium calculated
to hold nine pinls -the pisIils are
as large as a cows horn, and the
whole weight OF the blossom is
computed to be about fifteen
pounds.
FARMING IN CALIFoRNA.- Agricul.
ture is gradually widening in its OPP
erations in California. We see by
the Placer Times that the State will
probably produce more barley this
season than any State in the Union
more than will be required for
home consumption. In Cache Creek
valley, there are six Thousand acres
of it growing; in Susan valley, ten
thousand acres. In Nappa, Sonomi,
and Santa Rosas valleys, portions of
land, for miles in extent, are repre-
sented as covered almost without In
teryal, with vast fields of waving
grain, now just ipening for harvest.
