Proposed Rule fc- Measuring Bushels.

-
Having frequently seen published rules
for the measurement of cribs, boxes, bins,
wagon-bOdies, &c, aud perceiving that
bushel is just as determinate aquan,ity as
a foot, and these rules are all based upon
the fact that four Winchester bushels ara
nearly equal to five cubic feet, would
propose the following method, which will
approximate nearly to the truth:
First, take rod of convenient size, say
5is inches long, lmore exactly 81 and
63-i00, II inches wide, and half an inch
thick, and divide It's length into four equal
parts, numbering them with large plain
figures. The larger divisions will be tho
lineal Dimensions Of bushel, and the
smaller ones, decimals, or tenths Now,
TO apply the rule, one has only to take tie
three dimensions, length, breadth and
height, or depth, OF the bcx in bushels
and fractions, and multiply them together,
aud the result viii be in bushels, and the
decimais OF bl>hel.
NoTE.-I weuld suggest that the side
indicating bushels first be divided into four
equal paris, as proposed above, and then
each division also into four equal parts,
which would deuote fourths of bushel,
or pccks, and each Of the minor divisions
twenty-five equal parts, which would indi-
cate hundredths of bushel. 10 those
who are familiar with decimal arithmetic,
the application will be obvious. For iu-
stance, if it were desirable 20 ascertain the
number of bushels oi charcoal in cart Of
any size, it would only be necessary to
measure with this rule its len; th, width
and height, in bushels and hundredths Of
a bushel, and multiply each of the dimeu-
sions continually together, and the product
would be the number of bushels and tho
decimal OF bu=hel sought. Again, If it
were necessary to maAc box or bin TO
contain given number Of bushels, FIST
fix upon its length and width in bushels,
as per rule, divide the number of bushels
in its contents by the product of its desired
length md width, and the result will bs
the height, or depth. The contents III
bushels OF al other regular boxes, cellars,
cylinders, &c, may aiso be determined BY
this rule, su jeci 10 the laws Of mensura-
ton, exactly III tic same manuer as though

The other three sides of the rue might

Let.the candid readeFqefer to our issue
of last week, eread what zoe said Of, '.tlle
prospect for pork" and see how little sense
there is in the idea that we would encour-
age unjust demands for pork. We would
re-print'thes brief comment we then offered,
If we had room, :
But we have said enough to convince all
our real friends who are candid and rea-
sonable. We should not have alluded to
the subject. again, had we not reason to be-
l'evc that covert sneakipg enemies of the
Press have sought to make capital there
from. 1t is to guard an intelligent, but
sometimes unwary, public against such con-
temptible subterfugcs that we submit these
remarks, aud not to apologize for what we
have published, or crave the charity of
Pharisaical inquisiton. If they who would
fain chuckle over our mistakes and impoi-
cies are a, free from all species of pettifog-
ging as we are from aiding in establishing
high price for hog meat, their calendar
is cleaner than we now imagine.

The Senate has been engaged mostly
with Executive business. Notice of bill
in relation to naturalization, and also of one
in relation to the Pacific Railroad, has been
given. 10
The House is still engaged in fruilless
attempts to organize. Some thirty or forty
trials to choose Speaker have. been made
without success. The prominent candidates
are RIcHARDsoE, Of Illinois, CAMPBELL, of
Ohio, and BANKS Of Massachusetts. RICH
ARDsoN's vote stands at about IA; CAMP
BELLS about the same, and, BANKS. about
40. CAMPBELL, however, withdrew his
name on Friday last.
RIcHAnDsoN is the nominee of the sound,
Nebraska Democrats. He wa, the man
who introduced the Nebraska bill into the
House, and supported it zealousIy with his
tongue and vote. He is true man, and
we should rejoice to hear Of his election.
But Mt present the chances look quite slim.

about forty votes. Some other man will
have to be put forward. The Democrats
have resolved to fuse with no faction; and
We hope will carry out the resolve.
