/ to be brought about not by high t7riffs, but
BY events which human svgacity had not fore
seen; that is, by revolution, if we may 50 cx-
press it,in substituting iron for nearly every
thing else hitherto used by civilized men for
mechanical or constructive purposes. These
new uses of iron are rapidly creating de-
mand for the product which can ultimately
be supplied only from the iilimitabe coal-felds
and lneXhaustibie iron mountains Of this coun-
try.
The tendency of modern civilization has
been very juIiciously iostered by the present
Administration, especially by the Secretary Of
the Treasury, who has not only given his
sanction to the many new uses Of iron as a
building material, bat has caused to be insti-
tuted a series Of experiments to discover new
applications for it in the public buildings and
works.
The substitution ofiron for wood, brick
and stone in the construction of buildings,
ships, land vehicles, household furniture &c,
which is now golng or, must undoubtedly give
the control Of the iron market Of the world
to that nation possessing the most plentiful
supply Of the raw material of iron, such as
coal, lime and iron-stone, which is conceded
on all hands to be the United States.

IRoN.-The judicous policy of the Admin
istration with respect to the iron interest is
the the me of much favorable comment among
those journals which are supposed to repre-
sent the views Of the iron men. And truly
the results of the last few years productions,
are exhibited in the report Of the present Sec
retary of the Treasury would justify this
commentator.
Alexander Hamilton, the first Secretary oil
the Treasury was foremost to discover the
unsurpassed iron producing resources of the
country, and to recommend Congress to en-
courage their development by protective du-
ties on the foreign manufacture. Those re
suits, which the prophetic vision Of that grea
statesman was enabled to discern in the re
mote future, would seem to be now unloldin.

o. When about the age of seventeen.
Madame de Stael, nee Lounee, was placed at a
convent in France. She was in the habit OF
visiting a friend who lived across the square
on which the convent was situated. The
brother of her friend always insisted upon es-
corting her home, and led her around the two
sides of the square. But as his passion de-
creased, he gradually shortened the route un-
I'll he led her home by the nearest way. The
3 witty countess, remarks: "By this l learned
that his passion diminished in the exact pro-
portion Of its diagonal to the two sides of the
square, probably the most accurate calcula-
ton of waning affection that maiden ever
made.

ADVICE TO TIE IILLERs OF THE SOIL.-Ihe
revolt IN India is the harbinger Of famine
$50 millions Uf human creatures will need
large supplies of food from the products of
other regions. The army Of India, the
transport fleet for that army and Its sup
plies, the necessities growing out Of the DIS
trrbed state Of that great English depend
cncy, will call for much Of our surplus beef,
pork and -four. The two last named articles
are the product Of every year, but beef re-
quires years of nourlshment before it is
ready for use. The wicked, wanton waste
Of breeding power, which is the besetting
sln OF American farmers, ought to be check
ed. Every farmer ought to be required to
give an account Of himself, who kills
female calf We ought to preserve every
cow calf that is dropped for five years
to come. By this method we might soon
have a supply of beef, not only for ourselves,
but for an emergency abroad.
Beef, mutton, sugar, eggs and butter, the
expensive items OF life, are shamefully
neglected by the general farming interest of
the whole country-Calves are slaughtered
without regard to sex or the price Of food.
Mutton is neglected everywhere north and
northeast. Fleece without regard to meat =,
is the hobby and farmers prefer to make
shoes rather than feed orts to sheep.
Hens are left like prairie chickens, to take
care of themselves. A farmer who has
twenty hens, let's them feed themselves and
buys or goes without eggs. one rainy day
devoted to give them shelter, and five
minutes to direct proper food, would give
him eggs to eat and eggs to sell.
Care in making butter is necessary. 1t
il now, as business, neglected, or, in most
Instances, done in 50 sloyenly manner that
it is impossible to get good article at rea
sonabe rates. An immense quantity 0
butter is made, which has to be sold low
because of the want Of care in Iutting it W
for market. The few careful farmers ge
large profits, while thousands are disgusteC
at the result of their ddiries who are them
selves alone to blame.
A little attention to these suggestion
would produce millions of dollars now los
to our farmers, and would help to max
labor light, ana the ways of life more cheer
lul to multitudes.
