SO much for the road from Minneapolis to
Fort Ridgely. In regard to the road from
Fort Ripley via. of Crow Wing River to the
Red River Of the North, 1 could not without
manifest improperly, advertise for proposals
without knowing the extent and locality Of the
timber to be cut, and the difficulties the con-
tractors would have to meet with in carrying
on their work 1t was in order to obtain this
information, and because no reconnaissance of
the route had been made, that directed Mr..
Holmes, June 4th, so soon as his duties on the
other roads up the country would permit, to
make the necessary examinations, and report
in person the facts. Mr.. Holmes did make
the reconnoisance-travelin $50 miles on foot
in ten days-and he is now engaged at head
quarters making up his map and report. So
soon as they are furnished, which will be in
day or two, will be enabled to advertise for
proposals intelhgently and Satisfactorily.
There are other charges which the Editor
of the Democrat was very free last fall and
winter to bring against me in his paper, in
relation to my supervision of the roads, but
which, as have said before, delicacy prevent
ed my noticing. 1t may be necessary, howev-
er, yet to make an expose of this whole matter.

Esw and Valuable Substitute for Coal.

By invitation, we at the residence of
Mr.. Gerald, of our city, few evenings since,
10 see for ourselves the new burning substance
called trmGmentum. The reports which we
had read in the New Orleans paper about the
article, were fully verified, and our conviction
in lis favor at once obtained. 1t seems 10 burn
very freely in the CRATES, without any smell Of
any kind and to impari hea, equally with the
best coal. When punched or stirred, the balls
of clay would fare up similar to lightwood
knot when disturbed, and.to burn better by be-
ing stirred at the top-so unlike coal, which
invariably exhibits tendency from interference
at top to go out. The ashes cinders, too,
are hardly appreciable, and are represented
equal TO the best emery for polishing metals.
If as Mr.. Gerald assured US, il will burn longer
than coal, is more readily kindled, less liable
to go out, can be made anywhere that clay ex-
lists, and at price far below coal, its advan-
tages Will cause great revolution everywhere,
and The discovery must be ranked among the
greatest of The earth-alongside with thai Of
the circulation of the blood, gravi,ation. mari.

Jfrmanlentum is composed principally of CLAW

Animals Foretelling the Weather

1t is said that the woodcock in New-Jersey
is building its nest, this year, in open and
moist places; and old hunismen predict in
consequence that the summer will be dry one
There was time when science, or what was
called such, laughed at signs of this description,
as no better than 'od women's 8. tales; . but
though many of them are still unreliable, a
larger observation Of nature has taught that ami
mails have an instinct, which not unfrequenily
becomes prophetic, as in this example. AT
last years meeting of the American Associa.
lion for the advancement of Science, a curious
paper was read on this subject, by Mr.. N. B.
Thomas, of Cincinnati, who had, for several
years. studied the habits of animals in referesce
10 the indications which they might afford re-
specting the weather. He showed that birds,
ifthe season was 10 be windy or wet one,
build their nests in sheltered places; bat, if it
was 10 be dry, in localities more exposed;
that certain kinds of snails always come out,
and crept up the limbs of trees several Jays
before rain; and that locus,s, wasps, and other
iHSSCtS NSIG ~ US luufu uuueI leaves,
and in the hollow trunks of trees, hours before
o storm set in.
Tie sagacity thus displayed, if we may call
il such. seems TO put the higher reason of
man to shame. In vain do our most expert
sarGnS endeaVnr 10 predict the character of an
approaching season, or even To foFeiell, few
days in advance The condition of the weather.
The woodcock that unerringly fixes its nest in
The spot best suited for the coming summer, or
The snail whose iubercles begin to grow ten
days before the rain they are preparing to re-
ceive, appear, at first sight, TO surpass the more
developed men. But the inieriority of those
lower orders of animals is in the quantity of
their endowments, rather that in the equality;
they have single faculty developed 10 an ex-
traordinary degree, while man has, as it were,
faculties almost infinite In thus adapting
each organization 10 lis special position, the
wisdom of the Creator is forcibly exhibited

GRAFTING.-Now is the season for grating.
Those who have old orchards cannot begin to
graft them too soon. But we wish 10 caution
our readers against allowing every pretender
TO go into their trees to cut and slash withou,
reason or judgment. If you cannon do the
work yourself, get some man of Intelligence
10 do it, in whose Judgment and common sense
you can confde-one who has knowledge of
vegetable physiology enough. and of fruit
growing in particular, TO inform you of the
best mode Of treatment and kind of manures to
bring your trees most speedily and effectualy
into bearing. The man who does not know
this, and that he cannot with immunity cut off
seven eighIhs of the top of tree without en-
dangering lis life, never should be allowed To
NEEDLE with your tree. Write such a man
down at once, as an imposer, and give him as
wide birth as you would tar and pitch. Do
not let him look at your orchard.

A BEAUTIFUL INCIDENT. On the Sidewalk
In the broad avenue in Albany, that leads from
the Hudson river to the Capitol, stood, one
day last week, marked and remarkable man,
He had numbered more than four score years,
and those years were full of honor and useful
ness. Age had not dimmed his eye, and had
but slightly bowed his manly form. Snow
white locks crowned and adorned counte-
nance full of intelligence, benignity and digni-
ty. A young lad, robust, active and bright
as sunbeam, came along irundling hand
cart; saw him stop to catch a look from the
good and great old man. Immediately he was
recognized words of kindness were spoken,
and the friendly hand of the venerable patri-
arch was extended to him.
Never shall forget his graceful and deli
cate acknowledgment of the coveted recogni-
ton. The little fellow raised his cap, kissed
the hand so kindly offered, made low bow.
and was off in a twinkling. The Man was
the distinguished President of Union College /;
the boy was a nephew of Louis Kossuth.-
How charming to see age, distinction and un-
disputed eminence, attracting to itself not on
ly the learned and influential, but the little En-
rand boy as he dashes along to do the work of
his employer. How charming to see children
with such nice sense of the respect due to
advanced age and exalted virtue.

The WEST END OF ClTlEs.-The Academy
of Science in Paris have been investigating the
causes which almost invariably make the west
end of city more fashionable for place Of
residence than the east. The scientific conclu-
sion has been arrived at, that it is owing TO the
atmospheric pressure. The barometer column
is affected by the wind; that which lowers it
most is from the west. When the wind
blows from that quarter, the smoke, the gas,
the miasma, and all the offensive af1uvia is
pressed down TO the earth by thy heavy air
When the east wind blows, the air is lighter.
and the deleterious emotions rise higher, and
pass away.
The philosophy seems rational, although il
is not probable that the reason has heretofore
been understood BY those who have chosen the
west end Of cities instead Of the east for theil
residence. s&4 tt

Quick WoRK.-It was ouce the fashion to
wear coats, the material for which had not long
before been on the back Of The sheep. For ra-
Pdity of work in this way, l know nothing
that can compete with The achievement of Coke
ter, Of Greenham Mills, near Newbury. He
had couple of South Down sheep shorn at his
factory, at FIVE O'Clock in the morning the
wool thus produced was put through the usual
processes and, by quarter past six in the
evening, it resulted in a complete damson-col-
ored coat, which was worn at an evening party
by Sir John ThrocSmorton. A wager for a
thousand guineas was won by this feat, with
three-quarters of an hour 10 spare. The sheep
was roasted whole, and devoured at splendid
banquet. In one day they afforded comfort to
both the inward and the outward man.-Habits
