 CANADA Tn1sTLE.-- There have been repeated instances. where the simple moving of the Canada thistle has en. lirely destroyed. and obliterated the patches from the earth but in no case have the operators been able, from in- attention 10 the period, to settle under what peculiar circumstances of the year, weather, or skiey influence tho operation was performed. Y " M
 It has been suggested that they mus be cut when in blossom, and the stalk. are in perfect maturity, and the stem be. ing hollow. and rain, falling and filling the cavities. hot sun destroys the root beyond the space where the latent buds reside. that make future sprouts.
 A writer of the Boston Cullivator confirms this opinion. He says that a patch of thistles were cut during a rain in haying time. and that the next year few struggling. feeble plants were seen, and the third year wholly disappeared.
 It is simple experiment to try. and is worth the labor, even at the expense of wet skin. 2s. s

ANEcDorE OF MR. WEBsrEE. Soon after Mr. Webster removed to Marsh field he made his masterly speech in the U. s. Senate in reply to Hayue. The gentleman of whom he bought his farm at Ma,shf, Id. Captain Thomas, a grea, admirer of Webster, both before and af> ter he knew him personally, had read the great speech of Hayne, in the Boston Centinal.-a paper he subscribed for, not without asking Webster what pas per he had better take. Captain Thom> as regarded the speech as unanswera- ble. He was gloomy and quite sick at heart about it. He took to his room and even went to bed.
 In a day or two, the mail brought along another Boston semi>weekly Gen. tinel. It contained report of Mr. Webster's speech in reply to Hayne.- It was carried to the chamber of Captain Thomas, with the announcement of what it contained. Captain Thomas was scarcely aroused by it. He was not un> believing but faithless. He said, .Hayne cannot be answered it is of no use to think it. ... tg. -
 The newspaper was left, and the bearer took his leave. Soon after, z joyful noise was heard in the chamber of Captain Thomas. The sick man hat read the speech of Webster. was cured and cried at the top of his voice, bring me nsy toots.

Kidd had amassed fortune by this cruise, shaped his course homeward, seeming. with strange fatnity. 10 have supposed that no information of his de~ predations in those remote parts of the world, had reached the scenes of his home. He brought his vessel into LoHg Island Sound in the year 1899, and went ashore at Gardiner's Island, then owned and occupied by Mr. John Gardiner, to whom, from some undiscoverable motive, he made known his desire to bury quan~ tity of treasure on the Island, and did ac> cordingly deposit in the ground consi- derable quantity of gold. silver. and pre- cious stones, in the presence of Mr. Gar. diner; but under strict injunctiohs of se> cresy.

A Coon SToRY.-Some oflbe students ofthe Indiana State University were sus- pected to be in the habit of drinking bran dy. Where they obtained it was a nlys
 tery. Dr. Daily determined to ferret out the secret. Calling into small drug store the proprietor asked him s' how that sick student Mir. Carter. came on?'' Smell. ing rat, the Doctor answered in an eva- sive manner. and soon drew out of the apOthecary that the students under sus- picion had been in the habit of purchas- ing brandy for sick student by the name of Carter: that they said he was guile low. and was kept alive by stimulants, that the young gentlemen seemed very much devoted to him. Now the secret was out. This Garter was a fictitious character, and the Doctor had the secret
 However, he kept his own counsel The next lime the students assembled in the chapel for prayers, he cast his eyes over tEe crowd and satisfied himself that Carter's nurses were all present. The devotions were duly conducted, and then he called the attention of the students, remarking that he had mournful task to perform--as the President of the Unl- versity it became his duty to announce the death of their fellow student, Mr. Carter. After lingering illness of sew eral weeks, a portion of which time he was Kept alive by stimuldnts, he had breathed his last. He had no doubl that this announcement would fall sadly on the ears of those who had so taith fully attended to his wants, but he hoped they would bear it with resignation-he hoped they would reflect on the oft-re. peated words, |" "Memento mort" --that he would now no longer detain, but leave them to their own reflections
 The result of this announcement was startling. None of the Professors. and but few of the students, had ever heard of Garter. "Who is he ?" was whisper. ed none knew, but the "kind friends who attended him." and they wouldn't tell; and the President seemed so deep v cfected, they didn't like to ask him..

A CONTRAST. The Tribune states the following striking facts. in regard 10 the 'ela,ive growth and prosperity of the Free and Slave States s}
 Sixty years since. Virginia stood at the head of the Union. with ten represents lives in Congress, while this State had cnly six. Where stand they now New York has thirty.three and Virginia thir- teen. Sixty years since, South Carolina had five representatives. while Ohio had scarcely white inhabitant now. the former has still her old number of five, while the latter has twenty. one. In that time Massachusetts has grown from eight to eleven i; Pennsylvania from eight to twenty-five and even little New Jersey which then had only four. now balances the State which furnished the great ariss tocracy of the land in its Pinkneys, Rut. Iedges. Cheveses and Gadsdens. sAt that time, New York. Norfolk, and Charles. ton might fairly have disputed the chan, ces Of commercial greatness that hung over the future; but where stand they now? At the last census. Charleston had 2.s00 inhabitants, having increased in ten years precisely 1869. Norfolk had l4,320, or 3.40O more than she had in 1S40, while New York and Brooklyn had risen to more than 100000.
