funny incidents occur even on such grave occa-
sions as funerals. A certain cockney bluebeard,

TIE PIE PLANr.-This de icious article, which
is much sought after in the markets, can easily
be raised, and in abundant quantities, in the or
binary gardens attached to many dwellings, about
the city. The roots or seeds may be obtained in
the markets, and will grow in aim ost any soil if
well watered The use of ashes as a manure for
the pie plant will produce more deli cious plant
than any other culture-not being as sour, but
just Containing enough acidity to ma BE them
pleasant The reason given for this is, That the
acid peculiar to the rhubard is neutraliged in
part by the alkali of the ashes.
FIRE WITHOUT CoALs.-Recent arrivals from
Europe bring some gratifying results Of curious
experiments which have been made at the London
Polytechnic Institution, to test the results Of
the recent invention of DR.. Bachoffner, which con-
ssts in the substitution of thin pieces Of metal in
the place of Goals In egrates, which being act
ed upon by small jet Of gas Immediately becomes
red-hot, and emits prodigious degree of heat.
The fame which is produced by the gas, cooper
ating with the metallic lumin@, gives the appear
ance of a brisk and cheerful coal fire, and can
scarcely be distinguished from it. The heat can
be regulated by turning the cock of the gas tube.
There is no deposite of SCOT, no smoke, or any of
the annoyances which attend coal fires, and the
gas can be extinguished instanter OF the fire kept
as low as may be convenient. This useful inven-
ton is of general interest," and not only affects
private houses, but as affects manufactures, and
all places where large fires are required and by
its adoption the use of enormous chimneys might
be dispensed with, as no smokeis generated. The
expense with the gas now. used for lighting,
would render fire on this new principle about
the same expense as if Goals were employed but
where what is termed non-carbonized gas is en-
ployed, great diminution of expense would be
obtained.
