DAuLIA GRowYG.-Dahlias may be forced by plunging
the plants in mild hot-bet laying them in the hot
house. covering them up with sawdus dry sand charcoal
dust other similar material. In this manner they
propagated very extensively by obtaining cutngs when
shoots thus FASTENED have become inches long
From cuttings procured in this way with single stems the
best plants raised The result obtained in regard
flowers will vary much in different seasons and by differ
emit treatment
GRASS LAwSs--No flower garden be complete with
out grass lawns There but very few however,
pecay in Cities who afford the luxury Of anything
very extensive in this line but every wishes for few
rods at least about the house. When there but small
surface to grass may be done with sod The ground
be well dag and looseued for it is in vain to expect
the lawn to preserve its greenness In unless the
soil is pulverzed that the of grass freely pene
trate. The soil should be eveled allowed to SETTLE and
be raked off smooth To have iue lawn il is necessary
not only to move IL Often but roll 1t ALSO especially after
rain, thus securing close, fne velvety texture.
TEA CULTURE CASHMERE GoArs--A gentleman wri-
ting from Grcenville, South Carolina says:
al am within few miles Of the place where the expert
men made of raising tea 1t has proved failure The
plant will grow well enough but wages are too high in
dry any of leaves here for half dollar pound In
China where a man is hired for one dollar a month and
boards himself, it may be done.
g am glad to learn that the Cashmere goat intro
duced by j. r. Davis does well here The goat is hard
prolific and produces heavy fleece of wool 90 fine that
il is from six TO nine inches long.
His son, Scott Davis, has cargo Of fresh Angora

A New AND EXTRAORDINARY WAR EseNE.-In
the Boston Pilot, Mr.. G. M. O'Keefee publishes pa
per the military Resources Of Ireland" contain
ing sundry propositions which must appear rather
novel and startling to persons educated in the science
Of war. The scythe-armed chariots of the ancients
suggest to Mr.. O'Keeffee an idea upon which he i'm
proves in the following manner: @
Now any ordinary dray or cart may be converted
into an nyincbe war chariot, which pushed by thirty
or fortymen, and loaded with hay feather beds will
protect those who push it, and destroy the enemy.
Take dray and ladder, lash the ladder to the dray
Let every man grasp rung OF the ladder, and run
the dray bristling with scythes upon of her Ma
jestys regiments, and it will make whole lanes of
slaughtered men. Nothing can be more obvious than
this-nothing can be more simple. 1t requires no
drilling like the pike or other exercise Pitchforks,
spades and scythes are all that are wanted. Three
OF these drays running abreast will sweep any road in
Ireland perfectly cear of troops These drays laden
with some soft substance, and the axletree covered
with bed will protect the columns that follow them
and enable them to come to handy gripes with the
soldery 1t will batter in doors and gates of barracks
and magazines. 1t will never be more than five min
utes exposed to the fire of the enemy because during
minutes it will pass the ground which lies in its
front. 1t will run througha solid square in 8 few
seconds as any military company may try by forming
itself into square. Should any doubt its efficiency
let him stand before its wheels. '5+'
1t has often been conceded that in general rough
and-tumble scrimmagea dray-pn is a formidable in
strument in the hands of an enraged Hibernian. We
may therefore safely conclude that with such ingeni
ously contriyed and combined elements as dray,
ladder feather beds load Of hay pchforks spades,
etc. an engine of war might be rgged up fearfnlly
and wonderfully destructive. \

AN IMPERFECT TRAP.-Hemp and other commodi-
ties have for some time been stolen from the ware
houses in Newcastle, and the other daya thief was
discovered in tall range ofstores in the Close The
key OF the entrancedoor was turned upon him, and
he was left in his lookup until policeman could be
got. The prisoner however, was not disposed to
await the arrival of the officer of justice. lie made
his way into wareroom on the top floor and to a
door from which goods are lowered into the street.
First tossing bis bags of booty down to the pavement
he lifted his eyes to the hook that swung in the air in
connection with crane inside He must have had
some familiarity with the premises and known that
weight would suffice to effect leisurely descent or
he would not have hazarded the enterprise which he
meditated desperate leap must be made to catch
the hook, and if he missed the mark nothing would
save him from being dashed to DEATH But liberty is
sweet He sprung upward and forward, caught the
hook, and was the next moment travelling slowly but
surely, downward. 1t was daylight, and eyes were
upon him, but nothing wrong was suspected. So, ar
irving safely at the bottom, he gathered up his bags
unmoested, and walked off Shortly afterwards, but
too ate the turnkey and the policeman came, and as
they looked upon the rope by which their prey had
escaped, they could only moralize on the probability
of hemp. proving less friendly to the fugitive at
another time. [Gateshead (Eng.) Observer.

DEPARTMENT NEws.-From the Washington Union
of the 30th ut. we extract the following interesting
intelligence, published officially:
Cape de Verds.-A correspondent under date of
January 1st writes that the annual rains have passed.
and though not abundant, yet crops sufficient have
been raised to keep the people from actual want.
The cholera has made its appearance among all
the islands of the Archipelago and than twenty
thousand persons have perished from that disease.
The American trade has been dull, and there is
great scarcity OF money and of articles for exporta
ton. ~. ..I .a lH.
Public and Private Surveys in Calfornia.-Re-
turns of the surveys have just been received at the
General Land Office, from the SurveyorGeneral of
California embracing the plats and field notes Of two
private claims situated in townships and 2, South,
ranges and ten East, and township l North, of
ranges and West of the Mount Diable meridian;
plat of exterior or township lines of so townships
lying about Ii miles East of San Diego Bay, and ad-
joining the Southern boundary of the State of Cali
torna also, plats of % townships of the subdivis
ona surveys situated in the region of country ada
cent to the Southeastern portion of the State and of
20 additional townships further South, and in the
proximity of Colorado river, and between San Ber-
nardino and Santa Anna mountains together with a
township plat of North, range l West, of Hum.
boldt meridian, on Eel river, about 10 miles North of
Humboldt Bay. D..
Volunteers Going into Seruice in FYorida-The
War Department has assented to to request of Gov
Broome, of Florida, that regiment of regular
troops be substituted by not exceeding ten companies
of mounted volunteers, for the purpose OF more vigor
ousy and effectively prosecuting hostites during the
summer against the Indians in that State. The vol
uneers being citizens of Florida, and consequently
accmated, will be much better prepared than regular
troops to undergo the fatigues and hardships of a
summer campaign, and operations thus continuously
and energeticaly progressing will be much more
likely to eonsummate the great object so anxiousy
desired alike by the citizens of Florida and the ad
minstration-the entire cessation of Indian depre
dations and the consequent peace and quiet of the
people. - $50. 49,
Death Of a Purser.-The Navy Department has
received intelligence of the death of Purser George
r. Griswod, of Michigan on board the brig Dolphin
on the 9th of April last its passage from the Blight
| of Benin to Monroya.

THE FIRST SEA SERPENT OF THE SEAsoN.-Some
time since we published a letter from correspondent
in Mallory town, relative to enormous water SER,
pent seen at different times in that locality smi-
lar, or probably the same serpent, has been seen
within the past few days about three miles above
Brockville, by Mr.. l.. Parker of Three Mile Bay, and
D. Ladd. The serpent raised its body some six feet
out of the water aud pursued their boat till it got
within a few rods, compelling them to make for the
shore rapidly possible They describe the SER
pent being over 800 feet long and of lghtsh CO.
or 1t was also at distance by the crew of the
steamer Protection.
