Remedy for Smut in Wheat.

MEssEs. EDIToRs Il see a writer in the
Country Gentlemen asks for preventative for
smnt or fungus in wheat. This, together with
the frequent inquiries made by our northern
friends, in the wheat growing regions, induces
me to give you one that is simple. cheap. and
never failing. 1t is simply a soak in water in
which blue vitriol has been dissolved, in the
following proportions: For each lour or five
bushels of wheat, dissolve one pound blue Wit
rioi in water, sufficient to cover and properly
soak the wheat; let it remain in this soak 20
10 81 hours-sow Immediately after taken out
of the soak. Pursue this annually and prop
crly, and my word for it, you will never more
hear complaint of smut in wheat however bad
ly the seed from which il was grown may have
been mixed with smut. This is the discovery
fat least in this Statc) Of an Old and success
full planter and wheat grower Of this district,
and has been tested many years, always sue
ccssfully, by hundreds, yea, thousands. Some
say this soak cflectuallv eradicatcs chess. in a
few years, but Of this l am not fully satisfied.
But when properly applied and used, that it is
q sure and eftcctual remedy for smut, there is
not the shadow Of a doubt.
If new, or untried, with You, get a single
farmer to make the experiment. lie, you, or
the country generally. will never regret it.

The Snow Of Age.

We have just stumbled upon the following
pretty bit of mosaic, lying amid multitude
OF those less attractive:
No snow falls lighter than the snow Of
aye: bnt none is heavier, fer it never m2its
The figure is by no means novel, but the
closing part of the sentence is new as well as
emphatic. The Scripture represents age by
the almond tree, which bears blossoms Of the
purcst white. The almond tree shall -four
ISL the head shall be hoary. Dickens says
OF one OF his characters, whose hair was turn
ING grey, that it looked rs if time had lightly
splashed his SHOWS npon it in passing.
1t never mets'-nO, never. Age is mex
Orablc. Its wheels must move onwarl-thcv
know not any rctrogadc movement. The Old
man may sit and sing" would L were boy
again"-but he grows older as he sings. He
may read of the elixir Of youth, but lie cannot
find it; he may sigh Tor the secrets Of that al
chcmy which is able to make him young again.
but signing brings it not. lie may ~azc back
ward with an eye of longing upon the rosy
schemes OF early years: but, as one who gazcs
on his home from the deck Of a departing
ship, every moment carries him farther and
farther away. Poor old man he has little
more to do than to die.
1t never mcts." The snow Of winter comes
and sheds its white blessings upon valley and
mountain, but soon the sweet spring comes
and smiles it all away. Not 50 with that upon
the brow Of the lettering veteran. There is
no spring whose warmth can penetrate it,
eternal frost. 1t came TO stay. It's single
flakeS fell unnOticcd-and now it is drilled
there. We shall see it increase until we lay
the Old man in his grave. There it shall be
absorbed by the eternal darkncss-for there is
10 age in heaven.
Yet why speak Of age in mournrll strain
1t is beautiful, honorable eloquent. Should
we sigh at the proximity OF death. when life
and the world are SO full Of emptiness? let
the old cXult because they are old-ifany must

Congressional.

The following abstract of the proceedings o.
Congress, we make up from our latest Wash
ington dates:
In the Senate, on the l1th inst, after the
transaction of some unimportant business, the
consideration Of the Homestead bill was re-
sumed. The question pending was on Mr..
CHAsE's amendment to give the benefits Of the
bill to all foreigners now in or hereafter to
come to the United States. After a long dis
cllSson, the further consideration Of the bill
WAS postponed, and then the Senate adjourned.
The House of Representatives passed the
River and ilarbor, the Post Office, and the
Light House Appropriation bills. The Army
Appropriation bill was taken up. Anamend-
mcnt abolishing the military superintendency
of the National armorics, and to re establish
the civil supervision was briefly discussed.
when the further consideration of the bill was
postponed
In the Senate, on the 18th inst, q joint re-. =
OuiIon lUr me distribution, among members
and others, of the works Of THoNAs JErFEE-
son, now in course of publication by order Of
Congress, was adopted. The House bill al
lowing the expenses for the post-oliccs in Cal
ifornia and territories Of Washington and Ore
con, was amended and passed The bills grant
ing lands in aid of railroads in Missouri, and
from New Orleans to Mobile, were passed.
Mr.. CHASE introduced bill to prohibit Sla-
very in territories. He said that the language
Of the bill was precisely that of the Jefferson
ordinance of 1877, and the Missouri prohbi-
ton; he asked no action on the bill before the
rcXt sess on of Congress, but desired to give
notice Of his disposition to rcinstate that pro-
hibition. The consideration of the Homestead
bill was then resumed. Mr.. CHAsE's amend
ment to the bill, extending its provisions to
foreigners who may hereafter declare their in
tcntions to become citizens, was rejected by a
vote of 13 Yeas to SO Nays. Mr.. DIXON, of
KY, moved to amend the sixth section by
striking out the words "any individual" and
insert in lieu thereof the words ''any free while
person" which was agreed to by q vote Of 81
to 16. Several other amendments were dis
cussed, and without taking vote on the bill
the Senate, at four o'clock, adjourned.
In the ITausc of Representatives, Mr.. Cum
M1Ncs introduced bill authorizing the Post
master General to enter into contract for
the transportation of the mails between Brook
Ign and the various ports in Europe. Mr..
MACE, from the Select Committee on Mail
Steamships, made report giving a history of
the establishment Of the various lines, but re-
commended no action on the subject. The
House then went into Committee on the pri-
vate calendar, the first in order being the Colt
Extension bill. Considerable conversation en-
sued touching the propricty of considering the
subject pending the investigation of the Select
Committee, and the bill was finally laid aside
The Judiciary Committee reported bill pro-
viding for places of meeting for United States
Courts in New York, Boston and Philadel-
phia, pending which the House adjourned.

Railway Reservations.

Although we have not received intelligence
of the passage of bills through Congress, ma
king further grants of lands for railway pur-
poses, since that approprating large amount
to our Territory, yet there are many lndlca-
tons that these grants arc to become very
general to the States and Territories Of the
Northwest. We have already alluded to the
fact that the Commissioner of the General
Land Office, some days ago, directed the Off
GERS of the Dubuque Land District to with
hold from sale all the lands lying along the
route of the contemplated railway to our Ter
ritory We learn that similar orders have
been received lately by the United States
Land officers at Hudson, with reference to
lands lying between that point and Lake Su-
pcrior, along one contemplated railway, be-
tween Hudson and Green Bay, along the pro-
jected Green Bay and Minnesota route; and
on the route of the road chartered from Madi-
son, northwest. Bills making grants of land
to all these projects are now before Congress
and these orders proceeding from the General
Land Office, in advance Of actual legislation,
assure us Of the tolcrable certainty of their
passage, and of the high favor in which this
class Of appropriations are regarded by the adj
ministrti0n.
