A Revolving Sentiment.

We think we have never heard or
read a sentiment of a public man, up
on a public occasion, hat impressed US
as much by lis grossness, its bestiality,
as that contained in the reply recently
made by Mr.. Banks. Of Massachusetts,
in the House of Representatives. to a
question propounded by Mr.. Barksdale
of Mississippi. The question was:-
ado you believe in the equality of the
white and black races Of the United
States, and doyo wish topromote that
equality by legislation!' Mr.. Banks
said, "he had adopted the idea when
there is weaker race in existence. it
must succumb and be absorbed in the
stronger race. This he considered
universal law as regarded the races,
and he proposed to wait until time
should determine the superiority of
the black or the w hite race, by one Of
them absorbing the other
1t is difficult to perceive how any
man. not lost to all emotions of decen,
cy could utter such a reply, in the pres
cnce ard hearing of hundreds OF refn-
cd and intelligent women, who We're
grazing by their attendance, the gale
ries Of the House of Representatives.
Can it be possible that in this day Of
knowledge and science. a representa-
tive of district of Massachusetts,
who receives nearly one hundred bal
lots from nearly one hundred men, for
Speaker of the House, does not know
whether the white race is superior to
the black, but must wait until one alb
serbs the other before deciding! And
yet we ought not to wonder. Such
sentiment is the direct result OF the
teaching Of the black republican abo-
Observation-Disclosures. Every
man who joins them in their efforts to
direct all the legislation OF the country
to the consideration of less than three
millions of Africans in this nation of
thirty millions Of white menmust come
himself to entertain such revolving
opinions. There is no escaping it.
This "amalgation" doctrine, so bold
Iy avowed by Mr.. Banks, is one which
concerns all--women as well as men.
1t concerns the mothers, the sisters
they who are the allectionate and eff
fective teachers Of the human race,
they who would mould and fashion be-
ings who are to live forever. 1t con-
Germs all to know how absorbing the
one by the other, is to go on. Are the
negroes and the whites to intermarry,
till the black is lost in the white, or the
white in the black! Or does Mr..
Banks contemplate other induIgcnces,
which, by reason of their being be-
tween races of different color, are as
as they are immoral.--Cou
cord Patriot.

Curious FAcrs.--The Hartford Times
says the thick coating of ice upon the
cherry, pear and peach trees has serv-
ed to protect them from the frost, and
at the same has acted in the capacity
ofa burning glass, by concentrating
and intensilying the rays from the sun,
until the unreasonable warmth thus
impaired has had the effect of start
ing the flow of sap, and developing
the buds. 1t is feared the damage is
very serious.

start from or touch at England, the
Portuguese packet being the single cx-

will start from Southampton. and the
remaining six from Liverpool. These
mail packets will cross the Atlantic
by three different routes, which will
terminate on the American side of the

To Collect the Perfumery of Flowers.

The ordinary mode of obtaining the
perfume Of flowers is by distillation;
this plan has been adopted for many
ages. Shakespeare tells us that
Flowers distilld tho they with winter meet,
Leese but their show, their substance still
lives, sweet.
Or, in plain prose, that by distilling
flowers we may possess their sweet
ness in winter, when their beauty has
passed away.
The odor of flowers is owing to a
minute portion Of a volatile oil being
constantly generated, and thrown off
by the plant. This perfume is termed
an essential oil by chemists. When
the flowers arc distilled with water,
the essential oil rises with the steam.
and is condensed with it in the still
worm. The following plan Of procu-
ring the odors of plants is entirely
upon different principle to the above.
and, being devoid of apparatus, will
be found a delightful and economical
amusement to a vast number of our
readers who possess gardens. In all
gardens there are flowers that
Waste their fragrance in the desert air.
And there is no reason why it should
not be collected by the following easy
method. In the first place the flowers
must be gathered, and that with as
little stalk as possible, then place them
in a jar three parts full ofsweet olive
or almond oil; after the flowers have
been in the oil from twelve to twenty
four hours, the whole must be put in
to a coarse cloth, and the oil forciblv
squeezed from them, then fresh flow
ers must be added, and this process
repeated for several days, according to
the strength Of the perfume desired
When the odor of only one flower is
required, an incredible quantity of
flowers are necessary to produce a
scented oil, and for that purpose they
would require special cultivation.
The amature can only expect to pro.
duce mixed perfume, milleaem Tor
thousand howers,") as the French
call i. Thus he may use most flow
CID me to hand having an odor.

Too TRUE.----Somebody East, we
know not who.ha immoralzed him
self in the following insight into hui
man nature, which we indorSe and
literally commend to all cross loving
wives. He says:
Whether a man leads sober life or
not depends together upon the temper
of his wife. No man will listen all
night to a scold. who knows where "a
good warm sling" can be had for q
sixpence. At Cocktails. the other
night, we found no less than thirteen
married men who spent six evenings
week squirting tobacco juice on a
coal stove. We thought we could
find out who they were. On inquir-
ing, we learned that eleven of them
were blessed with wives who '.jaw."
while the other two welded a couple
of l''the philanthropist," ladies, so con-
tAntly engaged in the "welfare of
Cd htral Africa" that they have no
tir e to keep their husbands shirts

We love upright men. Pull them
this way and that way and the other,
and they only bend-they never break.
Trip them down, and in a trice they
are on their feet again. Bury them
in the mud, and in an hour they would
be out and bright. You cannot de-
stroy them. They are the salt of the
earth. Who but they start any noble
project! They build our cities, whit
en- the ocean with their sails, and
blacken the heavens with the smoke
OF their cars. Look at them, young
men, and catch the spark oftheir ener-
gy.

Ideas to Farmers.

The State Agricultural Chemist Of
MARYLAND, Mr.. Higgins. has publish
ed a paper showing the necessity OF
thoughts to replenishthe soil with min
eral substances, carried Oft to the sea
by the rains, and also taken up by the
crops, and not returned by manure
These two causes, always in opera
ton, would, in time, render the eartl
a barren waste, in which no verdure
would quicken, and no solitary plan
take root, if there was not a natura
counteraction by drought, which oper,
ates to supply this waste in the follow
ing manner: During dry wether, a
continual evaporation Of water takes
place from the surface of the earth,
which is not supplied by any from the
clouds. The evaporation from the
surface creates a vacuum, so Tar as Wa
ter is concerned, which is at once lill-
ed by the water rising up from the sub
soil of the land; the water from the
subsoil is replaced from the next stra-
ia below, and in this manner the cir
culation of water in the earth is the
reverse to that which takes place in
wet weather. With this water also
ascend the minerals held in solution,
the phosphates and sulphates of lime,
carbonate and silicate Of potash and
soda, which are deposited i'll the sur
face soil as the water evaporates, and
thus restores the losses sustained as
above stated. The author Of this the
DRY appears to have taken cOnsidera-
Bile pains to verify the fact by a num-
Der of interesting experiments. The
subject is worthy the attention Of men
Of leisure and of education, who pur-
sue the rational system Of blending
chemistry with agricultural science"
The above is from the Philadel phia
Ledger, and contains evidence within
itself OF correctness. In connection
with this, let US point out the bene-
fits of keeping the soil well pulverized
or cultivated, to prevent the mineral
and other food Of plants from being
carried away with rains. England
has a moist climate, subject to great
rains, and is seldom visited with
droughts, and yet mere wheatis raised
tothe acre than anywhere in the world.
Why is it! Simply on account of the
universal practice ofdraining and kee-
ping the soil in a highly pulyerized
state. When the soil is kept porous,
it absorbs amonia and carbonic acid
gas from the atmosphere, and when
rain falls these are carried down into
the soft porous soil, and are taken up
as food by the plants. 1.-THE soil were
hard and caked. the rain would run
violently off the surface, carrying
away some portion otthe soil, and with
it the food so necessary to supply the
plants with nourishmcnt. The bene-
fits to be derived from keeping the soil
Of cultivated fields we'll pulverized
and open, cannot be too highly ex-
tolled.

are not applicable for use by the no.
vice, as they take up more room than
is compensated for by the odor they
impart. The sweet or fat oil being
thus thoroughly periilmed with the es-
sental or the volatile oil of the flow
ers, is to be mixed with an equal guam
tity Of pure rectiifed spirit, and shak-
en- every day for Il fortnight; at that
time it may be poured oAquite bright.
and will be found highly charged with
the odoriierious principle previously
in the sweet oil. The periumed spir-
it thus obtained completes the process,
1t is as welt to state. that those now-
ers which are just going of their bloom
are as applicable rs those in their
prime. Thus the garden need not be
robbed of its beauty.
"Of their sweet deaths are sweetest odor
made"

She is Dying,

The following is sublimely beauti-
ful and pathetic, and could only have
been dictated by heart that has ex-
perienced all the bitterness that is
therein expressed. 1t is not known by
us who the author is, but suspect it is
an extract from some book. If any
body can read it without moisture in
the eyes and stones in the throat, they
are worthy of marble:--Wem. Visitor.
"Hush! she is dying! The sun light
streams through the plate glass win
dows; the room is fragrant with the
sweet breath of Southern howerg;large
milk-white African lilies: roses; .jessa-
mines and camelias with their large
glossy leaves.
Through the open easement steals
the faint, musical tinlle Of playing
fountains; and the light, tempered
pleasantly by rose curtains of embroi-
dered satin, kindles up gorgeous old
paintings with halo bright as a rain
bow. 1t is as if fresher sunshine were
falling on the bower of beauty.
The canary sings in his gilded cage;
her canary; and the hooking bird rails
es his clear notes higher and brighter
on the perfumed air.
How is it that you clench your
hands until the nails draw the rich
rosy blood through the thin quivering
skin, How is it that you grind your
teeth together, and hiss between that
one word hush! It's a beautiful home
| am sure, and that lady with her hand
upon her bosom, is fair as any dream
vision Ofthc painter.
Surely nothing could be purer than
that broad, high brow; nothing bright
er than these golden curls.
And she loves you. tool Al! yes,
any one can read that in the violet
eyes, raised so tenderly to your own.
All! that is it: your young wife loves
you.
She linked to yours the existence of
an angel, when she knelt beside you at
the marriage altar and placed her
hand in yours.
For twelve long golden sunny
months an angel has walked or sat by
your side or slept in your bosom.
You know it! No mertal woman
ever made your heart bow before a pu-
nty so divine!
No earthly embrace filed your soul
with the glory beyond the stars; no
earthly smile ever shone 50 unchang-
ngly above all poisome things as you
earth-worms call care and trouble.
She is an angel, and having caught
the seraph hymns Of her sisters, she is
about to wing her way to the glory
hnd, and leave you to weep until the
Good One calls you home.

A strange suicide was committed in
the city Of Leeds, England, recently,
ty man in the prime Of life, whose
appearance betokened poverty and
misery. He went into an inn, took a
pipe, and after sitting moodily by the
fire fer ten minutes, put the end of a
poker into the stove. After it became
red hot, he took it out, and deliberate
ly put the hot end down his throat
The persons present caught hold of
him and seized the poker, but not until
he had burned his throat and mouth
50 badly as to cause his subsequent
death.
