The Garden.

April has come, and not moment is to
be lost in preparing the garden. No good
farmer will deprive himself and his family
of the advantages and comforts of good
garden. A plenty of vegetables, besides be-
ing luxury to tempt the fastidious palate
of the epicure, is matter to be thought of
on the score of economy. And little time
and labor, judiciously bestowed, will secure
to family a full supply.
While referring to this subject, we will
venture to suggest that garden laid out in
good taste, with suitable walks, and some
regard to straight lines, is much more easily
tended, than one conducted on the hap-haz-
ard principle. Such vege tables as are sown
in drills can be kept free from weeds with
very little trouble, especially if the proper
kind of implements are used.
Onions from the small seed-a profitable
crop by the way, even for field culture-can
be cultivated with very little more labor
than would be required for potatoes.
For peas we can recommend the dwarf
kinds, as they save the trouble of procuring
brush. AS substitute for the common bean
poles, drop a kernel or two of corn in the
center of each hill, and those unsghtly OBJ
jects may be dispensed with.
In planting oucumbers and melons, dig a
hole for each hill, large enough to receive
two or three shovels- full of strong manure
cover it to the depth Of an inch or two with
earth-then drop the seed and cover it about
an inch. The striped bug will not be likely
to trouble you.

interior and unexplored parts of Brazil and
Peru, east of the Andes it has been thought
for more than two centuries, that the richest
mines of gold and gems in the world are to
be found. Steam power on the Amazon and
its tributaries would soon throw these open
to mankind. The savages of those regions
but seldom see the white man, and they are
jealous of him, and even of his Indian allies
as if they had the treasures to guard that
are so ardently coveted by civilization
Travelling from Lima, which is only 476
miles above the sea, we ascend gradu-
ally for forty miles, and then rapidly for
twenty or thirty miles more. We then de-
scend the eastern slope to San Ramon, which
is 1858 feet above the Atlantic-and thus
the mountain region extends for about 1877
miles. Thence, partly by canoe navigation
to lingo Maria, about one hundred and fifty
miles further. This town or post is located
on the Rio Huallaga, contains population
of only one hundred and forty-eight souls, is
delightfully."- embosomed in a valley with
river in front and screen of lofty noun
tains behind. The productions of the coun-
try are sugar, rice, cotton, tobacco, indigo,
maize, sweet potatoes &c. The woods are
alive with parrots, monkeys, wild turkeys,
wild ducks, rattlesnakes, and all kinds of
serpents-the foliage is rich and varied, here
and there vivid with fowers-while the
puma or American lion roams amid the
forest glades. Here, it may be said, the
valley of the Amazon, along one of its main
tributaries, begins, and here for time, we
will leave Lieutenant Herndon and his
party, preparing to des cend the ever-fowing
waters to the estuary of the Amazon-a
voyage of many weary month, through
many beauteous and many wild scene
all suggestive Of national and commercial
greatness yet to come.

way for the Brigade. At the fire the levers
are manned by the bystanders, each of those
working being paid one shilling for the first,
and six pence for every succeeding hour,
besides refreshments. The foreman of each
district makes minute, daily report of the
fires in his department to the chief in office,
these are embodied in another made by the
Superintendent, and forwarded TO each of
the Insurance Offices with which the Brigade
is come cted
Each constable who discovers fire with
oIt having his attention called to it by an
other person, receive $3.50 from the Bri-
gade. This causes vigilance, and upwards
of 1000 men are on the watch all night for
fires. The men who arrived with the first
engine receive 30 shillings, the second 20
shillings, and the third 10 shillings-l0 shil-
lings are also given to the first man who
turns on water.
On the Thames are floating engines for the
protection of property on the wharves and
docks, and along the river side. The entire
annual expense of the Brigade is said not to
exceed 10000 dollars.

The London Fire Brigade.

A correspondent of the N. Y. Enquirer
gives an interesting history of the Fire De-
partment in London, from which the follow
ing particulars are gathered -
The present organization was established
in 1883, and so perfect is the arrangement,
and so prompt the action, that densely
populated region, sixty miles in circumfer-
ence, is protected by 100 fremen, and SO
engines. The value of houses, furniture and
merchandise in London, subject to the rava-
ges OF fire, Is estimated at upwards of G45S,-
OOO,OOO or five times that number of dol
lars; and though fires are numerous, such
extensive and sweeping conhagrations as
desolate our large cities are comparatively
very rare. The Superintendent or the Bri-
gade says their success in conquering the
element results from their concentrated
efforts to preDcnt ats spread into ad Joining
buildings, rather than from attempts to ex-
tinguish it in the houses where it has once
gained the mastery; and thinks that the
firemen of the United States do not realize
that IN their eagerness to preserve a large
building which cannot be saved, they ex-
pend an immense amount of energy and
time and water to no purpose. The first
object should be to confine the flames to the
place of their origin by playing upon sur
rounding buildings; prevent the posi- biity
of their spreading, and then exiting guish them
if possible.
The Brigade, as now organized, consists
of one Superintendent and fourteen folemen,
each being appointed to district which he
never leaves, except on some pressing occa-
sion, and who, in the absence of the Super
intendent, has the sole command of all en-
gines or firemen who may come within the
district.
There are IL engineers who get alb out 81
per week each, and free house sev EN- sub
engineers at $3.50 per week-32 sen ior fire.
men at $3.50 junior fremen at IS, and ID
drivers, who, with the horses to draw the
engines, are hired from the cab proprietors by
the year. These men live at the several
stations, are clothed by the committee, and
are always ready when required. Their
uniform is serviceable and plain. Only four
firemen and one driver go with an engine
when sent TO a fire; the hose is carried on
the engine, the men ride upon it, and drive
at furious rate, without bells or horns,
everything, as if by mutual consent making

PosTAGE.--Messrs. Jones Of Tennessee and
Houston of Alabama, in the House of Rep
resentatives yesterday, declared themselves
in favor of raising the rates of Postage, be-
cause the Post Office Department now costs
more than it produces. The answer was
prompt and conclusive The conveyance of
letters and documents under frank, alone,
costs the whole of this excess, if not more.
Abolish the franking privilege, and the De-
partment will instantly pay its way. That,
however, does not suit Messrs. Jones and
Houston. They prefer to pay nothing for
their own letters and for sending their stupid
speeches about the country, and to tax every
hard-working man to cover the expense
Of course these gentlemen both belong to
the slave. driving Democracy. If they could
only get slavery into Nebraska and stop the
circulation of letters and newspapers in the
free States, they would probably regard the
country as safe. Shall they be gratifed 3

EARTHQUAKE IN CALABRIA.-The English
newspapers do not sustain the telegraphic
report as to the extent of the loss of life by
the earthquake at Calabria. A Naples letter
states the number of lives lost at 2000 An
other account, purporting to be the latest,
states that the loss of life was calculated at
upwards of 5000. There was, it seems, a
succession of earthquakes. At Cosenza, the
capital of Calabria Citra, the castle is said
to have been destroyed, and all the garrison
buried in the ruins. Cosenza is situate about
IL miles from the Mediterranean, on the mar
gin of valley surrounded by hills, at the
confluence of the Citra and Busento rivers,
the latter passing directly through the town
The castle mentioned as having been des-
troyed, was an old castle which had been
converted into barracks. 1t crowned the
summit of one of the hills The city has
suffered much from earthquakes, particularly
those of 1858 and l783-[ Boston Traveller.

ASHES ARE A SOLVENT FOR BoNEs.-Bones
are valuable manure and should be regu-
larly thrown into pile ON every farm. But
how, asks the farmer and gardner, are they
to be dissolved and used7 We will tell
you. Bones, if placed in pile and covered
with wood ashes, the ashes of fossil coal,
leached ashes, or common sand, and left ex-
posed to the rain and atmosphere will soon
crumble into powder. This manure is worth
about as much as Guano. Test the matter
for yourselves.

JOHN MITCHELL AND THE IRIsH.-The Cit
izen publishes editorially what it calls " A
letter to the survivors of the Irish in Ireland
under forty years of age, signed by John
Mitchell" The pith of this letter is, that
all patriotic Irishmen ought to withhold their
sympathies from Great Britain in the war
with Russia; that if Austria and Prussia
range themselves against the red cross of St..
George, trishmen ought to pray for the sue
cess Of their arms.

The CALIFORNIA FILL1BUsTERs. U. S.
sloop of war Portsmouth was sent by our
government to the Pacific to suppress the
fllibustering expedition of :" President Walk
er,' in Lower California. Late letters have
been received in which it is stated that the
ship arrived at Ensinada, at which place
Walker and his band had their head quar-
ters. Instead of attempting to prevent their
foray upon the peaceable inhabitants of Cal
ifornia, the officers of the ship waited upon
Walker, to whom they were introduced bv
his adjutant general, and dined with him
on the most friendly terms;' and this is the
last news we have concerning them. This
is certainly new way of treating outlaws
and pirates.

Pioneer and the Democrat, published at St.
Paul, Minnesota, have both determined to
issue daily papers on the first of May. Both
of them are capital papers, and we wish
them abundant success. In June, 1850, we
visited st. Paul, and it was then a small
town some two years Old To require at
this time two daily papers, shows great and
permanent progress in wealth and popula-
ton, as well as commendable enterprise on
the part of the publishers Chicago Press.
