Flowing by Steam.

1--WE notice that in the vicinity OF Chelms-
ford, England, a successful experiment Of
the kind was made a few weeks since, in
the presence of large number of persons
engaged in agriculture. THE Chron,cle, OF
that place, says:
Thesfield selected was piece Of twenty
three acres, csiisa Mn, Field, near the
White Heart Inn: hs t'fss start was with
two double plows, but Jas il was exceeding
ly heavy soil, usualyplowsd with three or
four horses, very foul, and from being late
iy drained, not lying well, it was difficult
for the engine to pass over it, and after a
pause four single plows were attached, and
although at first. from not being able to get
the going gear to work favoraby, some lit
lie delays were caused; after time they
did their work admirably, blowing from six
to nine inches deep. The work was won-
derfully straight, though done in the midst
of large concourse of spectators, who
were evidently deeply interested in the ex.
pertinent. So clung and tough--so close
and heavy was the nature of the soil, that in
answer to inquiries made as to how the
matter was going on, the observation oil
those who new the locality was: swell, il
it can plow now it can plow anything. =
Many farmers who entered the field preiu.
diced were unreluctant in their praise, ant
acknowledged that the wonderful machine
being still in its infancy, would, as improve
ments followed. effect an extraordinary
change in the cultivation and management
OF land of every description.

American Wines.

The American grape crop is becoming
something of an institution in our country.
In the Great West, especially in Ohio and
Missouri, thousands OF acres are set apart
for the cultivation Of the vine, and large
quantities of wine are now manufactured
annually. 1t has been demonstrated by nu-
merous experiments that our native grapes
produce wines fully as good as the best i'm
ported from abroad, and so well aware are
the people of Oh o apd Missouri of this
fact, that the most d them prefer their own
to the best imported brapds. No crop, we
have been informed yields more profitable
return for the care and labor expended up
on it, than.the grape.
One acre produces about four hundred
gallons Of juice, and the wine sells at high
price, ,sthe demand for it being greater than
the supply. This very circumstance, how
ever, has led to its adulteration in some
eases, as liquids have been sold for the pure
native juice of the grape which were but
mixtures of loswood, caramel, and a little
native wine, TO impart its peculiar aroma to
the whole. 1t is greatly to be regretted that
any wine manufacturer should do such a
thing; but for all this there are number Of
Ohio brands much priced by thoss who have
quafed the juice of the grape in sunny
France, on the banks of the Rhine and Dou-
no. The brands Of Mr.. Yeaiman, Of Gin
cinnati, and some others, have a very high
reputation in the market.
The soil and the climate Of several Of our
States are very favorable for the cultivation
ofthe grape, aud we think that not many
years hence, the importation of foreign wine.
will cease entirely.
In Missouri, whole county is chiefly de.
voted to the raising OF grapes, with !leS Sols
view of manufacturing them into Wine;
while Compeny has been Termed there,
with large capital, to manufacture, bottle

Fashionable Women.

q Fashion kills more women than toll or
sorrow. Obedience to fashion is a greater
transgression Of the law of woman's nature,
greater injury to her physical and mental
constitution, than the hardship of poverty
and neglect, The slave woman at her task
will live and grow old, and see two or three
generations of her mistress pass away.
The washerwoman, with scarcely q ray
Of hope to cheer her in her tolls, will live
TO see her fashionable sisters all die around
her, and the kitchen maid is hearty and
strong, when her lady has to be nurscd like
a sick child 1t is sad truth that fashion
pampered women are almost worthless for
all the greater ends Of human life. They
have but little force of character; they have
less power of moral will, and quite as little
physical energy. They live for no pur-
pose; they accomplish no worthy end; they
are only doll forms, in the hands Of miliners
and servants, to be dressed and fed TO or
der. They dress nobody, and save robody
They write no books; they set no rich ex-
amples of virtue and womanly life. Ii they
rear children, servants and nurses do il all
save to conceive and give them birth. And
when reared, what are they? What dc
they ever amount to, but weaker scions OF
the old stock? Who ever heard of a fash
ionable woman exhibiting any power o'
mind for which she became eminent
Read the geographic OF great men and wo.
men, who had about as little to do with
fashions as with the changing clouds.

Value of Time.

The Roman Emperor who said 81 have
lost day, uttered sadder truth than if he
exclaimed, 81 have lost kingdom" Ma
poleon said that the reason why he beat the
Austrians was they did not know the value
of fifteen minutes. At the celebrated battle Of
Rivoli, the conflict seemed on the point of
being decided against him; he saw a critical
state of affairs and Instant ly took his reso-
luton. The unwary Austrians fell into the
snare-for few minutes the thunders
of battle were husfed. Napoleon seized
the precious moments, and while amusing
the enemy with mock negotiations rearran-
ged his line of battle, changed his front, and
/ few minutes, was ready to renounce the
| farce of discussion for the stern arbitrament
of arms. The splendid victor of Rlvo
was the result. The great moral victories
and defeats Of the world too often turn or
minutes. Crisis come--the seizing o
which is victory, the neglect of which i:
rum. Men may loiter, but time and the
great interests of life are speeding on tht
sure and silent tread Of testiny.

Picture of a Drunken state.

We find in the Daily Express, of Terre
Hsute, the following account Of the moral
condition of Indiana. 1t is deplorable e.
nouah, but we have reason to believe it is
too true. And we as confidently believe
that the example Of her public men has been
the chief cause of the degradation of that
State:
We said yesterday that dissipation was
on the increase in this city and throughout
the State. Never was there time in the
history Of Indiana, when SO much crime was
being committed. The papers teen with
violations of the entire criminal code. The
root of all this is, the encouragement given
to dissipation, by the party now in power
in this State. The Governor, the Supreme
Bench and the entire Democratic press,
pander to the peoples appetite Tor strong
drinks. The Chief Executive sets the ex-
ample, his personal friends Iollew IN his
wake, the highest Court in the State comes
to their aid, and thus the rule is, to get
drunk, the exception, in that party, } to be
duly sober. From this stand point, ( a bar
rel OF whisky begins all other phases oi
crime. 1t is the beginning-the peniten-
tiary and the gallows the end.

Com CRops AGAIS, From all parts Of
the Southwest we hear of the flourishing
condition of this crop. We believe from
the accounts that come to US, that the crop
will exceed in abundance any previous one,
since the farmer turned up the first clods
in these parts s,-bearing in mind the fact,
that at least one-third more land has been
planted in corn than usual. The fine rain,
