A Curious Discovery.

A MOST curious and interesting discov-
cry has just been made at Laugres, France,
which we have no doubt will cause scien-
tlilc inquiry as to the material and pro-
Pnetles OF the perpetual burning lamps,
sad to have been used by the ancents.-
Workmen were recently excavating for
foundation for new building, in debris.
evidently the remains of GaIlia Roman
erections when they came to the roof of
an underground sort of cave, which time
had rendered Of almost meta!c hardness.
An opening was effected, when one of the
workmen instantly exclaimed that there
was light at the bottom of the cavern.
The parties present entered when thev
found bronzed sepuIchral lamp of re-
markable workmanship, suspended from
the roof by chains OF the same metal. 1t
was entirely filed by n combustib!o sub
stance, which lid not appear to have di-
minished, although the probability is that
the combustion bad been going on for
ages. This will, we trust, throw some
light upon subject which is caused so
many disputes among learned antiquari-
ans.

Turnip Culture at The South.

THIS vegetable, like almost every other
kind, requires different culture in the
South, from that which it gets at the
North. Our winters are so mild, that the
turnip in some of its varieties, will grow
through the whole winter, and the careful
cultivator, may have turnips fit for the
table every month in the year.
For the first fall crop, plant the early
white Dutch; SOW as soon after the goth
Of July, as a season offers to vegetate the
seeds; for garden culture, SOW in drills; for
field culture, SOW broad cast. For late
crop, SOW the red top, and where tops are
an object as well asgood roots, sow the
large English Norfolk. The immense
amount of foliage, with its large sue
calenr stem, which this turnip produces,
should commend it to more general culture
especially for plantation uses. But of all
the turnips for Southern soil, and Southern
climes, commend us to tue Rutabaga; like
all other varieties of the turnip, they
require rich ground; lands that have been
trodden 10y cattle, well and deeply plowed
suits all the turnip tribe; but any ma
nure that is stimulating, well turned under

purpose, but should be well turned un-
der. Three hundred pounds to the acre
will pay well in the increased production
Of roots. The advantage the Butabaga
has over all other turnips, is in the fact
that it has but little disposition to seed in
this climate; consequently its roots remain
tirm and sweet long after the common
turniP has become pithy and worthless;
Its tops are also more valuable, fully equal
TO the best collards. ........
| We last season took piece Of new
pine land, less, than half an acre, cow
penned it and plowed it every good rain,
from April TO July. On the Goth day of
July, We mixed half pound each, of early
white Dutch and Rutabaga Turnip sec l
in buShel of plaster, sowed broad cast,
and rolled them in with heavy cart
iron roller. The first day of September,
our market wagon had load of fine
white turnips in the market, and contin-
ued daily to carry them, until we had
sold one hundred dollars worth of white
turnips besides supplying largo family,
as soon as the white turnips were gone,
The Rutabagas took start and were fit
Tor the table and stock in October; con-
t'nulng to grow through the whole winter
and spring keeping in good order some
thirty head of cattle, supplying large
family; preserving all their good qualities
until the first of May when, in clearing
the ground for garden patch, we pulled
some fifty bushels for the hogs.
Now, kind reader, what other crop can
be grown in this soil of the South, that
pays as will as turnips? Remember to
plow the ground deep and often before
planting, and look to it in season for turnip
time is at hand.
We would not recommend sowing the
kutabagas broad cast as general thing
but where lands are entirely nsw and
have been made mellow with the plew, il
answers every purpose, as the experiment
above will justify.-Soa ofthe South.

Scene at an Earthquake.

A letter from Petsia gives some further
particulars Of the terrible earthquake at
Shiraz on the 2lst of April last. The
shocks continued up to the 14th of May,
at short intervals, every day. The first
shock lasted five minutes, when the inhab-
itants were asleep, and laid nearly the
whole city in ruins. The writer, speaking
OF the scene next morning, says:
"On every side the eye could see moth.
ing but heap of ruins, streets blocked up
with stones, and dead bodies being carried
on litters without the walls of the city. 1t
made the heart bleed to see the limbs Of
persons showing themselves from beneath
piles of rubbish, and men, women and
children endeayoring to withdraw the
mutilated bodies Of their friends and rela-

their despair, they were tearing away with
their teeth, their hands and their nails.---
