IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.

Jean Blanc, of New Orleans, represented
to be an agriculturali$t of considerable
scientific attainments, has secured letters
patent from the United States for the dis
covcry Of process Of converting thirty diff
fercnt varieties Of plants, which grew wild
IN enormous qualities i'll various sections of
the Union, into flax of great strength and
beautiful texture. Specimens of the flax
and of the plants from which it is made are
Oh exhibition at the office of Walter L. Hard
ing, III New York. Among the most inter
eSting of the specimens are the flax made
from the stalk of the cotton plant, large
qualities of which are burnt on the Southern
plantations to get them out of the way =
the century tree or wild Manila; which
crows in abundance in FlOliIa; the wild
hollyhock, with a fibre ten or fifteen feet
long; the gold namkccn, Of natural nan
keen color; the vegetable silk, and the We
gctable wool. The process of preparation,
we understand, is simple, and ctfectual, pre-
serving all the strength of the staple, and
50 economical that the fax can be sold at
prices far below those at which the article
is sold.

PEEsEvERANCE-A pious old negro who
lived in a region where the people were in
the habit of getting religion every time a
new minister came around, and then losing
it again before the next quarterly meeting,
WAS once asked how he accounted for these
facts in accordance with his belief in the
doctrine of the final salvation of all true be-
levers. lie replied, When the people gifts
religion themselves, they are mighty apt to
lose it as quick as they got it but when
religion gifts them, it takes holt and holds
on, and never lets 'em go until it take 'em
clean up To heaven

GRAFTING.-An interesting discovery is
stated to have been made in France in the
engrafting of fruit trees. Instead of max
ing use of graft, slip is taken from an
apple tree, for example, and planted in a
Potatoe, so that a couple OF inches of the
slip remain visible. 1t soon takes root, de
veloPes ITSELF and finally becomes hand
some tree bearing fine fruit. This method
is due to Il Bohemian gardener.

:YSpeakingof the prevailing high price
of brcad>tuhs and the immense supplies for
expectation which the country is capable of
atfordng, the Buffalo Courier remarks:
There is hardly any limit to our surplus
of wheat and corn, and if the demand abroad
should carry off 100, 100000 bushels, which
is almost four times as much as we have
ever exported in one year, there would still
be an abundant supply for home consmp-
ton. Strange as it may seem, that with
large surplus on hand, fully equal to sup
ply the demand from abroad prices should
rule so high; it is nevertheless, in obedience
to Il law of trade, which makes sudden
impulse push the market value beyond
due limit, as well as to another law of trade,
which makes arrangement in the ordinary
channels Of supply produce, for a time, all
the consequences of an actual scarcity.

FLORIDA LAND AGENCY.

THE undersigned has established an agency
i in the town of Alligator, Columbia Coun-
ty, Fla, for the purchase, sale or location OF
Land Warrants, the purchase and sale OF lands
generally, improved and unimproved. The
fact now being established that Rail Road
is to be constructed Immediately connecting
tiuIII- UuII mexico, running
through the entire length of the county, East
and West, and in view of the great fertility
of our soil, the unusually fine growth of pine
timber on the land, the healthfuIness of the
climate, and the reasonable terms on whic h
lands can now be obtained, there is perhaps
no section of the Union which affords equal
inducements to the emigrant from the older
States. Having had some experience in farm
ing on the different kinds OF land, and ac-
qured general knowledge of them through
out the county, and having acquired unusual
facilities for pointing out such as are for sale
either of public or private lands, he feels
very confident of making it the interest of
all persons wishing inform alton, who may
have deter mined to settle in Florida to call
on him.
