Cultivation of Fishes.

In paper from the Patent Office, pub
lished in the National Lateliigencer, it is sug-
gested that the fishes of many varieties not
now known to them, might be introduced
into the waters of this country by means of
transferring the spawn from one locality to
another. The mullet of the Garonne would
be valuable In the Potomac, and also the sar-
dine. The trout and salmon of the Rhine
and its waters would answer further North;
turbot and sole for the Jersey waters; and
trout, carp and salmon, for north of the Del
aware. The carp, it is known, was intro
duced into the waters of the Hudson. The
golden carp was introduced into pond near
the same river. The breaking of dam
caused these fish to be swept into the Hud-
son, where they now exist in tolerable abun-
dance. To similar accident we are indebt-
edsto its presence in the Schuylki1. Mr..
Pratt used to have them in pond on Lemon
Hill, whence they were washed into the riv-
er, and are now caught by the boys in abun-
dance. The smelt, now abundant in Ja-
maica Pond, near Boston, did not originally
exist there, but was carefully transported
either from Europe or from some section of
this country.
Salmon and shad were formerly found In
the Merrimac, and the latter IN Lake Win
nepiseogee and its tributaries; but since the
establishment of manufactures at Lowell,
and the consequent daming of the rive<,
these fishes have disappeared from all the
upper waters; while, on the other hand, the
opening of communication between Lake
Erie and the Hudson, has introduced to that
lake and its accessories eels, and perhaps
other fish not previously found there. The
same result has also been experienced on
Lake Ontario since its connection with Lake
Erie by means of the Welland Canal The
officers of the navy on foreign service could
have assigned them the duty of collecting
varieties of fish not known IN the waters Of
the United States.
Mr.. Peel of Saugerties, New York, has
shad, carp, tench, gold fish, &C., In the
ponds ON his estate, and so well are they
protected from molestation of every kind.
that upon the appearance of persons at the
margin of the waters, they approach TO re-
ceive food from their hands This gentle
man, 1t is said, has sturgeon, seven feet
long, and when he wants a sail on his pond,
be harnesses his sturgeon, attaching line
and cork float to the traces. The sturgeon

The child,s True Life.

The child should be turned out iuto the
garden and field. No man with a family
should in these days OF railroad facilities
consent to live ON lot just about large
enough to make comfortable graves for his
household. His bright-eyed children should
have a chance to look upon the open sky,
and roam in the green meadows. Books
should be part of the child's play. It's
life should be play. The mind viii work
neTer fear The observing and reasoning
powers as wei as the memory viii be ex-
ercised on what is seen. Thus viii mind
and body duly mature; proper preparation
be made for attention to books when the time
comes A common and pernieious mistake
IS made by many parents when they re-
gard the acquisition of knowledge as the
great end of education, instead of physical,
mental, and moral training. 1t is true that
the acquisition of knowledge is inseparable
from such training, but it is the incidental
benefit

Judge Taney's Decision.

The now famous and abaminable senti-
ment, that the African race has no rights
that the white man is bound to respect, at
tered by Judge Taney, in his opinion in the
Dred Scott case. may be found on page 4oS
of the officially published copy of that opin-
ion, and occurs as follows -
They, i. E. the African race. had for
more than a century been regarded as beings
OF an inferior order, and altogether unfit to
associate with the white race, either in social
or political relations and SO far iaferi0r.
that tAey had no rights sahick ihe sahite man
seGs bound TO respect and that the negro
might Justly and lawfully be reduced to
slavery for his benefit. .
Judge Taney viii be dishonorably re-
membered for this declaration longer than
he viii be honorably remembered for any
act or sentiment of his life. It win stick 10

Bathing.
R. j. II.

Once week is often enough for decent
white man to wash himself all over; and
whether In Summer or Winter that ought
to be done with soap, warm water and q
hogs hair brush, IN a room showing at
least seventy degrees Fahrenheit.
Baths should be taken early in the morn
ing, for il is then that the system possesses
the power of reaction in the highest degree.
Any kind of bath is dangerous soon after
meal, or soon after fatiguing exercise. No
man or woman should take bath at the close
of the day. unless By the advice of fam
ily physician Many man, in attempting
to cheat his doctor ont of a fee, has cheated
himself out of his life; aye, it IS done ey-
cry day.
The best, safest, cheapest and more uni
versaIly accessible mode of keeping the sur
face of the body clean, besides the once 3
week washing with soap, warm water, and
hogs hair brush, is rs follows:
As soon as you get out of bed IN the
morning, wash your face, hands, neck and
breast; then, IN the same basin of water,
put YOUR feet at once for about minute,
rubbing them briskly all the time; then.
with the towel, which has been dampened
by Wiping the face, feet, &c., wipe TIE whole
body well, fastand hard, mouth shnt, breast
projecting. Let the whole thing be done
within FIVE minutes.
At night when you go TO bed, and when
ever you get out of bed during the night,
or when YOU find yourself wakefnl OF rest
less, spend from two to FIVE minutes In rub
bin. your whole body with your hands, az
far as you can reach in every direction
This has a tendency to preserve that soft
ness and mobility of skin which too fre-
quent washings of the skin viii always de-
stroy.
That precautions are necessary, in con
neetion with The bathroom, is impressively
signifed in the death of an American lady
of refinement and position, lately, after Ia
king bath soon after dinner; of Surgeon
Hume, while alone in warm bath; and o
an eminent New Yorker, under-similar cir
eumstances, all within a year.-HalFs Jour

BuckWheat.

While every Kanzas farmer is striving to
put in every ounce of grain possible, last,
but not least, comes buckwheat, bringing up
the van of the summer crops. The present
season promises to be a good one for this
grain, inasmuch as the late rains in this re-
gion leaves the ground more moist; and we
are in hopes also that, as We had an early
spring drought, the clerk of the weather
may have changed the programme of the
two previous seasons, so as TO give us occa-
sional rains during the summer. Buckwheat
as an article of food speaks to US for itself in
the remembrance of the light dun batter
cakes, whose grateful aroma, as they come
fresh from the griddle, never fails to give
appetite even to the most fastidious stomach.
And as we expect great things from the
Sorghum Cane, whose syrup has favor
similar to the Maple syrup, We have an ad-
ditional incentive TO SOW buckwheat.
But alasl buckTheat Is very scarce and
high. A Chicago Agricultural firm writes:
'sIn consequence of the late cold spring,
and the scarcity of hay, farmers have been
compelled to feed out their buckwheat with
their other grains to stock, and We find ii
almost impossible to procure any" A few
days ago, while away from home, we could
only learn of fifty bushels that had feen
brought into the Territory.
Two pecks per acre is generally sown
East, but it is said that one peck per acre is
sufficient for Kanzas soils. It would be,
perhaps, best to sow little more than the
latter quantity. This grain will probably
sell for at least three dollars per bushel next
winter.

Fourth of July ode


Welcome to the day returning,
Dearer. still as ages flow,
While the torch of Faith is burning,
Long as Freedoms altars glowi
See the Hero shat it gave Us
Slunbering on q mothers breast;
For the arm he stretched to save US,
Be its morn forever blest.
Hear the tale of youthful glory.
While of Britain 5 rescued band,
Friend and foe repeat the story,
Spread his fame DER see and land.
Where the red cross, proudly streaming,
Fiaps above the frigate's deck,
Where the golden lilies, cleaning,
Star the watch towers of Quebec
Look The shadow on the dial
Marks the hour of deadlier strife;
Days of terror, years of trial
Scorge nation into life.
Lo, the youth, become her leader!
All her bafied tyrants yield;
Through his arm the Lord hath freed her
Crown him on the tented fieldl
Vain is Empires mad temptation;
Not for him an earthly crown!
He whose sword hath freed nation,
Strikes the offered sceptre down.
See the throneless Conquerof seated,
Ruler by peoples choice;
See the Patriots task completed;
Hear the Fathers dying yoieel
eBy the name that you inherit,
BY the sufferings you recall,

Whisper that its props may slidel''

With the discord-notes of shame;
