| AGRICULTURAL DIVISION OF THE PATENT OFFICE.
| The Cultivation of TT1LFeS.-lt has been sug-
! gested 10 the Patent Office that measures should
| be taken to introduce the trufHe into the United
States The esculent, which in some respects
resembles the mushroom, has been the lavorIte dish
OF epicures from time immemorial 10 the present
day, and yet, strange to say, they have always
been scarce and high-prceL, few knowing how 10
raise them, and fewer still possessing the proper
knowledge TO prepare them for the table.-Fhe
royal cooks of France say that 'the trnle improves
all it touches;'' aud happy the cuisiWer who can
give taste of its delcacy and flavor to each separ
ate dish!
| gay French writer says "When eat tIuf-
flies, at once think myself transported TO another
world; for instantly my spirit becomes more gay
and more Joyous; my blood courses through my
veins with an INDISPENSABLE pleasure; an agteea
BILE yOlupluousneSs seizes upon me, and my whole
spirits changed by the delicious symposium. As
| continue eating, my Judgment becomes sound
and discreet, my wit sharp and ready, aud nyl i'm
aginings of the most lofty, varied, and beautiful
kind. Indeed, sort OF inspiration comes over
me, and feel as il could readily write an epic
poem, address popular assembly with unsur-
passed eloquence, and compose works which, for
depth of learning, and beauty, and bnlliancy OF
style, should aStonish the word. The agreea-
| Bile digestion which followS-the delicious sleep
and the ecstatic dreamS!-ah, language is toopoor
10 portray these; and all-yea all-are inspired by
trutles!"
| Posr OFFICE DEPARrNENT.-OPening Null
Bags.-Tt has been suggested that when u post
master opens the mail bag he should be careful 10
leave no packets of letters or newspapers address
ed 10 his office in it, and if his office be connect
| ing point of the mails from which other mails
branch, he must carefully examine the packets in
the bag, take out such as are addressed TO olhceS
supplied by the branching mails, aud give them
their proper direction by the earliest conveyance.
When this is neglected, it is expected ihatthe first
postmaster who discovers the neglect will return
the issent packets, and report the fact to the de-
paTtment.
