The Royal Society met on the 9th ult, the
Earl of Enniskillen, Vice President, in the
Chair A very interesting communication from
Captain Denham, r. N Of her Majesty's ship
Herald, was read. Captain Denham is en-
gagged on a scientific voyage in the above ship,
and among other subjects he was particularly
enjoined 10 endeavor on favorable occasions to
ascertain the depth of the ocean. The present
communication gives an account of a deep sea
sounding in 1906 fathoms, in 36 deg. 46 min.
south latitude, and 81 deg, min. west longi-
tude. The sounding was obtained on a calm
day. October 80, 1852, on the passage from
Rio Ranerio to the Cape Of Good Hope. The
sounding line was 1-10th of an inch in dame
ter, laid into one length, and weighing, when
dry, lb. for every hundred fathoms. Capt.
Denham received from Commodore McKeever,
of the United States Navy, commanding the
Congress frigate, $4,000 fathoms of this line,
10000 on one reel and 5000 on another, and
considers it to have been admirably adapted
for the purpose for which it was made, and to
which it was applied. The plummet weighed
lbs., and was eleven inches long, and I7th
of an inch in diameter. . la.aa +. le
When 7,706 fathoms had run off the reel,
the sea bottom was reached, Capt. Denham
stated that Lieutenant Hutcheson and himself,
in separate boats, with their own hands, drew
the plummet up SO fathoms several times; and
after it had renewed its descent, it stopped alb
ruptly at the original mark to fathom and
would no. take another turn off the reel. The
whole time taken BY Tic plummet in descend
ing to this amazing dept Of 7,7O8 iashoms; or
~ geographical miles of go to degree, was
8 hours and "a minutes and as seconds. The
highest SUBMITS of the Hmalaya are little
more than $4,000 feet, or Al geographical
miles above the sea. The sea bottom has
therefore depths greatly exceeding the eleva-
ton Of the highest pinnacle above its surface
Great care was taken in the endeavor to bring
the plummet again to the surface, to show the
nature of the bottom, but while carefully reel
ing in, the like broke at l40 fathoms below
the water line, carrying away the thermometer
which had been attached to it at ), 900 fathoms.
This sounding is the deepest that has ever been
made. .bsiy sgs 7..s. ~ +5sq-

The Cultivation of Flowers.
BY j. REYNOLDS, NJ. D.


Said an excellent and kind d-hearted old man
to me, one day, on observing flowers in the
window, 81 love to see these about house.
They show that there is good feeling within,
that there is taste, regard for the feelings Of
others, that the mind is not wholly wrapped up
in love for self" And is it not so Where
you see fine collection of flowers in or about
q house, well trained and cultivated, and where
you see the daughters, aye, and the sons too,
tanght to love them and watch over them and
protect them from enemies and injuries, do you
not feel assured, that the mistress of the house
is lady of taste, that she has an eye for the
beauties Of nature, that she has other sources Of
pleasure besides money and dress and display?
Do you not feel that she has soul endowed
with some OF the finer sensibilities of our ma
tare, and that she is developing and cultivating
these seRsiblities in her children? Do YOU not
expect To find in the mind of the woman who
has love for these delicate and beautiful OBJ
iects Of nature, a nice sense of propriety, a
strong and ardent love of truth, and keen and
quick perception of moral beauty? Would
you not commit your daughters to the nstruc-
tion of the woman who possesses strong love
for flowers, other things being equal, rather
than TO her whc has no taste for their delicate
forms, and Oisshing and almost sparkling beau
ties. es.@aaaaa.sas
have been in the habit ofassociating love
for flowers, and for the more delicate beauties
of nature, with all that is refined and tender
and lovely in woman, and, indeed, it is because
there is finer tone in the feelings of the fe-
male heart, that ste, SO much more frequently
than man, possesses keen relish for the mod
est pearl drops, the brilliant gems. the delicate
hues, the rich blushing tin!s, the beautiful com
mingling of light and shade, which the pencil
OF Nature has scattered so profusely around us.
q Man seizes the bolder and stronger features
of the landscape-the noble tree-the broad
expanse the lofty mountain, the flowing river,
the rolling wave: but woman instinctively loves
the flowers. They speak to her heart, and
commune with it in language of their own, of
all that is tender, and gentle, and kind, and
provident and patient, and loving In nature, and
she feels that her heart is made better by the

DRUNKENNESS The personal example Of a
drunken man, especially il he be young man,
has oftentimes the effect or more than the ef-

Boston, young man of perhaps nineteen stood
swaying back and forth beside post. He had
fallen in the dirty street, and was covered from
head to foot with mud. He presented " les

The Cincinnati Atlas Of yesterday says-"A

bililies Of coDjugal life, left Cleveland on Fri

On Sunday morning. they took the morning

er Of the gentleman stopping ct Kenia, while
the parent Of the lady continued 10 Morrow,
where they lay in wait for arrivals. On the
appearance Of the train at the former place, on
Sunday, it was thoroughly searched, but no
discovery took place-the pair having adroitly
changed garments at Columbus, and being thus
pretty eHectually disguised At MorroS, the
young lady's papa also came on board, took a
look through the cars, shook his head, and
found seat nearly opposite the fugitiyes."
"Things continued in this manner, until ap-
preaching the city, the conductor was making
his last round, collecting the tickets Of the pas
sengers. Some little awkwardness on the part
OF the lady, growing out Of her unusual attire,
attracted the observation Of the old gentleman
opposite. His suspicious we're aroused. A
moments observation convinced him that the
lost was found, and seizing the young scape-
grace by the shoulder, be lifted the veil which
concealed his glowing features. Like an old
fogy, as he was, he raved, stormed, and swore
not little. A scene Of confusion, indescfiba-
bic, ensued. The question Of the propriety Of
the proceeding on the part Of the lovers was
argued by score of voices, pro and con. Pa
pa was inexorable. The parties were ordered
to exchange garments, which they did, vowing
eternal fidelity, and the young people were
brought to the city, and taken back this morn
ing, to await another opportunity, which, as the
chap is pretty keen, and the lady very pretty

ably be long in discovering"
