TIE MEADOWS OF AMERICA.--Gov. Wright
of Indiana, says that our grass crop is not
properly appreciated. No crop, he says, APP
proaches so near spontaneous yield, and
none yields so large profit. The hay crop
of the United States in 1850 he estimates at
10000 600 tons; that for 1855 he estimates
at l5.o0O.000 tons-whlch is worth $780,
coo 900 while the whole cotton crop is val
ued at only Sl2S 100000. Of this crop
more thai, half is produced by the four States
New York. (Which yields one fourth of the
wholc,) Ohio. Indiana and Illinois. The
grass crop which is used for pasturage is at
least as valuable: so that single herb is worth
annually over 100000 900. Few people
will believe that the grass crop, of New York
State IS worth more than its wheat, and yet
statistics show that snch is the fact.

a NEW KIND OF APE.-Profcssor Owen,
the celebrated naturlist, describes a species
of ape, recently discovered on the west coast
OF Africa, named the Gorrillc species, the
adults of which attain the height of five feet
five inches. and are three feet broad across
the chest. His head is double the size of a
mans and its cxtremities are enormously de-
vel"pcd. They exist in some numbers in the
in.crminablc forests of the Gambia river. -
The negroes of the country, in their cxcur-
SONS into the forests in search Of ivory, eX-
hibitcd little fear Of the liOn as it skunk away
from man: but they dreaded the Gorilla,
for when he saw n man advancing he came
down out of the trees to the attack and 'ul,l
strange man with the greatest ease. The
strength of this man ape is enormous, his
jaw is as powerful as that Of lion, and his
canine teeth equally formidable.

PREPAYMENT OF POSTAGE To BE MADE BY
STAMPS ONLY.-It will he lecollcctcd that BY
the act of March 3, 1855, requiring the post
age on all letters not free sent by mail within
the United States, and not from or to for
cign country, to be prepaid. it was also en-.
acted that from and after January |, 1856,
the Postmaster General may require post.
,scrs to place postage stamps upon all pre-
nd letters upon which such stamps may not
ave been placed by the writer" In view of
this fact the Union says:
We learn hmMe Postmaster General has de-
-med TO require pos'masters to comply riih, and
airy INTO effect this prorision Of the la,r; and.
f not already done, to supply themselves
With postage stamps accordingly by sending
their order for them to tho Third Assistant
Postmaster General. Of course it is not in
tended nor expected that this regulation shall
throw upon postnastcrs the labor of afIixing
postage stamps to letters where the writers
might without Inconvenience, have done it
for themselves. The main thing is for post
masters to keep themselves supplied with
stamps that all persons having occasion to
use may readily obtain them.
