.'Can a Christian na,i or woman, with IA

This truly singular production was first intro
duced to thesnotice of the public ina 1858, by
Mr. j Il, Thomas of Waverley. Illinois, who
received nine, grains from the Wyandot Indians.
through California enlg grant, which he planted
in sandy soil, and the product was 6fty-eig,t

from twenty-five grains planted Oh the 20tll Of

from one-fourth of an acre, thirty-two bushels

ccived the common cultivation given to other
kinds of corn. ....... .s..-. '.--- f..
This corn srepresented to possess the follow
ing peculiar1ies. We copy as follows from the
circular of Mr. Thomas: t III
F. "First, it requires but one grain 70 be planted
in each hll more than one is useless Second
each grain yields from three to eight full grown
stocks equal in length and strength being from
nine to twelve feet high, and proceed directly
from the grain. Third, each stalk bt btars from
two to four cars, of large and beautiful pearl
white corn, the meal of which is equal in ap-
pearance to flour manufactured from wheat
Each hill will yield from eight to twenty ears.
From equal quantity of seed planted, it will
produce double the quantity of ears that can be
raised from any other kind Of corn grown The
quantity Of fodder which it bears is immense,
and for stock feeding it is superior to all other
varieties. The kernel is shaped similar to the
'ycliow flint" the grain soft, twclve-rowed, and
small cob. Ear, from twelve to fifteen inches
long.
'If planted five feet apart each way, (and
which is near enough) it will require about
2,300 grains, Or one quart of seed, per acre.

CHAPTER TT.

Three years had rolled away, and all ira
ces of Ronald were effaced; and although
suspicious hung heavily on Glenroy, still no
distinct proof had been found to fix upon
him the crime Of murder. The young Edith,
refusing all consolation, and wishing not to
implicate her only relative-hsr deceased
fatHers brother--had renounced the world,
and retired as boarder to the convent of
Innisfail.
One morning, at this period of our story,
a small schooner, with every sheet of sail
expanded to the wooing winds, was seen to
enter the waters of Gamma. The pennon
that futtered from her mast denoted her Of
Spanish craft; while the bright brass cannon
that looked frowningly from her port-holes,
told that she was accustomed "to the battle
and the breeze" Her crew were attired in
a motley mixture of fenciIul dresses; while
their swarthy faces and brawny frame mark
ed them for men to whom blood and peril
were the day-deeds of their lives. AS the
gallant vessel rode gaily up the bay, she
made the Welkin echo with her brazen throats
Of thunder; and many were the surmises OF
the islanders whence she came and what was
her object. Having anchored directlully OF.
posite the castle of Glenroy, small boat
was lowered from her side, and made direct
y for the shore. ts, era &aa@t
1t was manned with six seamen, arraved
in the richest and most fanciful attire. He
who appeared to be the leader of the party
was, however, even more georgeously at
tired than the others. On his head he wore
cap of network of the brightest crimson,
from which, over his left ear, dangled large
golden tassel-a blue and yellow-striped
jerkin encaaed his body--a snow.white shirt
similar to those worn by the Greek sailors,
richly embroidered, hung in thick folds
from the waist to the knee; his hose were
of the deepest scarlet, a short boot or buskin
enclosed each foot and Was bound tightly
at the ankle by large diamond buckle
A tartan scarf twas thrown loosely around his
throat--his dark hair fell in thick masses o.
yer his shoulders; while his sun-burnt face
and bosom showed that he had been rover
in SUMMER cline. His bearing was bold
and daring, while the tone in which he gave
his orders to the crew, told that he was ac-
customed to command. 'f!2a s.ll .iy.
"Look to your arms!" shouted he, as they
reached the shore, and fastened the boat tol

AmERrcAE SURGEONS IN sEBAsToPoL. -
The Washington correspondent OF the Bal.
timOre Sun says:
"Ths four American surgeons now In Sc
bastOpol are beginning to write home very
freely, and the letters. some of which sp-
pear in Charleston, and others in Provide nee,
60 to show that the Russians have passed
quite an agreeable winter in SebSstopol,
and that the sor.ies of which we read such
terrible accounts are got up, like ,possum
hunts, for amusement. Without these pas
times our young doctors would hardly obtain
any practice, and, as matters are they do not
complain Of being over tasked. During the
severe weather the Russians heard bat little
from the enemy in their front, but OCCASION
ally gave them a call to see If they were
alive"
