The Philosophers Stone.

The orientallsts imagine, that among other
requirements, the Europeans are in possession
of the philosophers stone, and some among
themselves are not wanting who pretend to
this gift. When Mr.. kinnier who travelled
through Asia Minor, and the neighboIing
countries in 1913 and 1914, was at Rassora
MIR. Colquhoun, the acting resident at that
place, received message from an Arabian
philosopher, who snppcated his protection
from the cruel and continued persecution Of
his countrymen. Having been informed that
he had the power of transmitting the basest
metals into gold they daily put him to the tor
ture to wiring his secret from him. He added
that he would divulge ever ything he knew to
Mr.. Colquhoun, provided lie was permitted to
reside in The factory. He accordingly retired,
and soon afterwards returned with small
crucible and chafng dish Of coals;and when the
the former had pecome hot, he took four
small papers, containing a whish powder,
| from his pocket, and asked Mr.. Colquhoun to
fetch in piece of lead; the latter went into
his study, and taking four pisto! bullets, weigh
ed them, unknown to the alchymist; these,with
the powder, he put into crucible, and the
whole was Immediately in state of iuslon.-
After the lapse Of about twenty minutes, the
Arabian desired Mr.. Coquhoun 10 take the
crucible from the fire, and put It into the open
air TO cool; the contents ere then removed,
and the resdum proved to be piece Of pure
gold of the same size as the bullets. The gold
was afterwards valued at ninety piastrcs
at is not easy" says Mr.. Kinner' 'to IN
agne how deception could have been accom-.
plished, since the crucible remained untouched
, bv the Arab after it had been put upon the
, fire; while it is. at the same time, difficult to
conceive what inducement a poor Arab could
have had 10 make an English gentleman
present of ninety piastres. Mr.. Colquhoun
ordered him to return next day,which he prom
ised to do; but in the middle OF the night the
Shiok of Crane with a body Of armed men,
broke into his house. and carried him OIL
r Mr.. Kinneir says, "Whether this unhappy
man possessed, sike St. Leon the art OF max,
ing gold, we are not called on to determine,
q Now, although we conceive the Arabian phil
! osopher just as capable of transmitting metals
as the immaculate ST. Leon, so aptiy quoted
bv Mr.. Kinneir, we still are sceptical enough
TO suppose that there was abundance OF time
!, TO fuse solid mass Of gold during the absence
u of Mr.. Colquhoun; and afterwards to waste the
! lead by the natural progress ofoxdation' aid
ed by a strong IRE.

IN their youth, they will lack both size and
muscle. To assist In the elaboration of their
bones, provide them thrice week with gill
oil the limo, salt and ashes mixture but be cer-
tain If you car obtain II, that the lime used is
made from oyster shells, as that contains near

their bones.
TonAcco BEDs.-Look TO these and for light
upon this subject we respectfully refer You 10
the admirable essays to bo found in our journal.
We refer you most confidently to these essays,
because the Instructions therein contained
are the. results of the reflection and practice OF
highly intelligent and successful planters.
SHEEP.-See that these are well fed, well
cared for, regularly watered and always have
a bite of salt to nibble at--lhat their shed is
kept cleanly bcdded If they are confined
close 10 their yard, treat them once week to
pine bows to browse upon. Let the breeding
ewes have gill of meal or the equivalent in
roots, daily, in addition 10 their long fodder.
BREEDING Sows AND SToRE PIos.--Attend,
To the feeding ofthese. and be sure To allow
them ample materials to work up into manur.
A hog is said to be dirty beast, and loves TO
wallow in the mire;but he delig ghts ina lean dry
warm bed, and thrives best when these COM
forts are provided him. II 4 mixture Of
charcoal, and rotten wood and ashes are kept
in dry trough to which he can have constant
access, he will be his own doctor.
If the breed Of hogs you have is not good
and profitable one, buy young boar, OF some
approved breed, and cross your own and while
yop are doing so. besure to geta good one.
FENCING TmnER.-li your supply Of fem
cling timber is small, prepare bed and SOW

Mr.. Cass' Resolutions.

The following is the joint resolution intro.
duced into the United States Senate by Mr.
Cass. re-a[irming The Monroe doctrines and
declaring the intentions Of this government
with reference to Cuba:
Be it resoloed, That the United States do
hereby declare that the American Continents,
by the free and Independent, condition which
they have assumed and maintained, are
not TO be considered as subjects for future
colonization by any European power; and
while existing rights should be respected,
and will be by the United States, they owe it
TO their own safety and interests TO announce,
as they now do. that no future European col
ony or dominion shall, with their consent,
be planted or established on any part Of the
North American Continent aud should the
attempt be made, they thus deliberately de-
clare that it will be viewed as an act origina-
ting in motives regardless of their interests
and safety, and which will leave them free
to adopt such measures as an independent
nation may justly adopt in defence OF its
rights and its power.
And be ii further enacted, That willie the
United States discIaim any designs upon the
Island of Cuba, inconsistent with their du>
ties 10 Spain, they consider it due to the
vast importance of the subject 10 make
known, in this solemn manner, that the v
should view all efforts on the part Of any
other power to procure possession, whether
peacably or forcibly, of that island-whch
as naval or military position, must, I'M
der circumstances easily to be foreseen, be-
come dangerous 10 their Southern coast, TO
the Gull of Mexico, and to the mouth Of the
Mississippi - as unfriendly acts directed
against them, and TO be resisted by all the
means in their power.

From WASHINGTON.

The Washington correspondent of the Bos-
ton Post, under date Of Jan. 18th, says
The despatch of Mr.. Everett to MIR.
Champion has opened wide the suices of
congressional debate. The subject grows in
importance with each succeeding day. Its
discussion cannot fail to elicit the desired
light with regard 10 the applicability and per-
petuity OF the Monroe doctrine. That will be
tantamount TO adding another signal triumph
to The long list of diplomatic achievements
enjoyed by the democratic party.
You will hear much respecting the note
read in The senate from Col. King, touching
the statements of Gen. Cass. But you NAV
safely assure your readers that that note does
not in the least infringe on the facts alluded
to by the senator from Michigan. On the
contrary, il confirms them. Col. King
merely disclaims all intention TO impeach
the notifies OF Mr.. Clayton, in his private an
derStanding with the British ambassador. -
But he does not by any means endorse The
diplomacy of MIR. Clayton, in his treaty with
BuIwer. Far from it.
The recent discussions and surmises with
regard TO the cabinet have tended TO strength
en- more and more the conviction, that while
Gen. Pierce is DESTROYS of obtaining all the
light that he may properly receive, yet. alter
all, his cabinet will be his oWn. His will, in
this respect, be found TO be of the gen
inc iron stamp of Andrew Jackson.
The bronze statue Of tie old hero, so ap-
inaugurated on the 9Th, contin-
ues TO he visited by crowds Of the people
1t is The most splendid specimen OF arr, Of
lis kind, in the world. You can conceive
nothing more lile-l,ke and grand"
