Gov. MARCY AND GEN. SCOTr.-The writer
Of the interesting " RecollectiOns of William L.
Marcy" in the New York Examiner, gives the
following statements as creditable to Mr.. Mar
cy's candOr and patriotism as complimentary
to the military genius of Gen Scott
In one OK my last interviews with Gov
Marcy, / received from his own lips IA full state
ment Of the circumstances attending the ap-
pointment of Gen. Scott to the command of the
army in Mexico. 1t win be remembered that,
in Gov. Marcy famous letter to Gen Scott, at
the close of the war, the Governor referred to
this appointment as one in the responsibility
Of which he had full share This was mod
estly said. The appointment was in the strong
est sense Gov. Marcy's own. The soup cor.
respondence OF Gen Scott had given mortal
offence TO the President and his Cabinet 1t
was Gov Marcy judgment, nevertheless, that
Gen. Scott was the proper person to command
The army, and he formed the deliberate pur-
pose OF securing his appointment. Mr.. Polk
repeiled the proposition at once. But you
will hear me, said Gov Marcy Certainly,
/ will hear, replied the President, but the
breach between the Administration and Gen.
Scott is irreparable' The President did hear,
and was convinced. The Cabinet heard, and
were convinced. There remained one difficulty.
There was 4 man, then powerful in the Demo-
critic party and in the Senate, who must be re-
conciled to the measure, in order to make it
politically safe. Gov. Marcy was commissioned
to silence the batteries Of the great thunderer.
'lou have given me- said he, the most diff
cult task of my life, but | will not shrink from
it, l regret that cannot depict the interview,
Of which he gave me 80 graphic an account.
The commission Was successful. Gen. Scott
was assigned TO the command-personally un-
friendly, political opponent, and recognised
aspirant for the Presidency. The arguments
used by Gov. Marcy to secure this result wers
rs creditable to his magnanimity as they were
to his wisdom and patriotism.

DOES SUNSHINE TEND TO ExrINGUIsH FIRE {?
The common opinion that the sun shining on
fire tends to extinguish ii, and that conse-
quently the embers must be shaded if We would
preserve them alive in fireplace, was made
the subject of experiment in the year 1926 by
DIR. Thomas Mckeever of England, and the re-
suits seemed to show i real foundation for the
opinion that solar light does actually retard the
process of combustion. These results were
IVpied by the contemporary scientific journals,
and even the great German chemist Leopold
GIN elm, in his I" Handbook OF Chemistry. 1" an
noun ces DR.. McKeever's conclusions, without
expressing any misgiyings in relation to their
accuracy, Sunshine is an agent which Is cer-
tainly capable of producing very remarkable
effects; but the disagreement of this with other
facts, has recently led Dr. John lie Conte. Pro-
fessor of Natural Philosophy in the South
Carolina College. to repeat the experiments of
Mckeever, but using greater care; and the re-
suits obtained, as detailed by him at the late
meeting at Montreal, tend to overthrow the
idea, and prove that light has no influence
whatever on the rate of combustion.
The fire employed in both the sets of expert
mcnts was simply q wax candle. Mckeever
fouEd it TO burn about twelve per cent. faster
in the dark but LeCOnto finds the light Of
the sun, even when concentrated by a large
lens, produces no effect except by heating If
the air in the dark be heated to the same extent
t.,
the candle burns at precisely the same rate
McKeever's experiments indicated that the
candle burned from five to eleven per cent
faster in the dark than in common sunshine
He supposed that the chemical rays exercised
deoxidziDg power, which, to some extent, in
teri with the rapid oxydation of the COM
busuOle matter, and by trying the candle in
different parts of the colored spectrum (pro-
duced by decompOsing a ray of light in passing
it through prism,) his experiments appeared
to indicate that taper burned more rapidly
in the red than in the violet extremity of the
solar spectrum.
The whole subject cannot as yet be consid-
cred definitely settled, as the recent paper is
regarded as merely preliminary to a more
thorough experimental investigation, which Dr.
LeCOnte proposes to undertake during the next
twelve months. 1t is obvious that these re-
searches have a practical bearing ---iScienhfe

IHR VIRGINIA OREEPERS AND OTHER CLINE
ERs.-The ornamental woody vine. systematic
ally called AmpsIopsiS 9uingnsfo a North
American plant, is frequently cultivated for
covering old walls and fences, and has become
q favorite for covering houses and other build
mentlng with flowers, plants, shrubs and trees
has been developed. Its generic name is from
Greek word signifying vine, and its specific
indicates the character of its foliage 1t is
called woOdbine by some, and by others still
American ivy. 1t is a vigorous climber, and is
common In borders of woods and thickets. By
means OF its radicating tendrilS it supports it.
self in ascending trees to the height of ffty
feet, also adheres to walls, and so has made IL
self a great fayOrite about houses in view of it's
rapid growth and the beautiful manner in which
1t covers and adorns naked walls 1t flowers in
July; they are Of greenish color, inconspicu-
Gus, in branching clusters. 1t produces small
berries In its decay in the autumn the leaves
are OF bright crimson, blending beautifully
with the varied hues of decaying leaves.
One OF the most luxuriant displays of this vine
ever seen may be observed in Beacon street
near the corner of Joy street The balconies
are completely Overhung festOOning, as it were
both doors and windows with kind of living
drapery Of the most exquisite beauty Would
that the taste for this kind Of ornamentinp were
more general. Then we should not see so many
naked walls, fences and balconies, in Beacon.
Mt. Vernon, Park, and other streets, are as now
observed
The English ivy, Hedera Heller, is very COM
mon in England, even in the woods This like
the American ivy, Is a valuable ornamental
evergreen, cultivated for covering fences, walls
and houses. Its evergreen quality renders it
superior to the American. In England, it is
trained into numerous fanciful and grotesque
figures, on skeleton frames of wire. 1t flowers
late in the season, and is visited by honey bees
Its berries are sought by the birds Ivy was
highly esteemed by the ancients. Bacchus is
represented as crowned with it, to prevent in
toXication. H. heiir negeta is a native of the
island of Madeira. The ivyis quite common in
Hartford, covering most beautifully some of the
church edifces. How beautifully such drapery
would become Park-street and Trinity churches.
Has its cultivation been found imPracticable in
Boston? IfnOt, who will first introduce it, and
give it fair trial ?
There are other runners worthy of notice
such as the Trumpet-hOwer, Tscoma rGdicans,
common in the rich soils Of Illinois, Kentucky
Pennsylvania, and south to Florida-Boston
