The Origin of Wheat.

The Edinburg Review, in a late able ar
ticle discussing the origin of the cereals es-
pecalIy wheat, states that there are two
theories upon this subject, one which con-
siders races of plants immutable, and holds,
therefore, that wheat existed once and may
still exist indiginously, somewhere; and
another, which maintains that the cereal, as
at present known, has been developed by
cultivation. This latter opinion the Review
advocates, maintaining that the peculiar
plant from which wheat originated is grass,
growing wild on the Mediterranean, and
known to botanists by the name ngilops.--
1t is urged, in confirmation of this hypothe-
sis that, wherever the cultivation Of spe-
cies is known, il is found that man has first
applied to his use plant growing wild a
bout him, culliyating it, and sowing seed
from the best species Of the cultivated plant,
until it reached a state far eXceling lis orig
ina condition, that it would have been i'm
possible for any pat an observer OF the pro-
cess 10 trace its origin. The origin Of wheat
is presumed to be analogous, and, in fact
the Review adds that French botnnist
reas oning in his way, and observing many
striking points Of resemblance between the
agilops and wheat, undertook to develops
the latter from the former, and by saving
year after year, the seed from such plaUtt
as appeared to approach nearer to its object
actually succeeded in his object. The plan
thus obtained, still continues to be oulljya
ted, both by him and by others, aad tc yiel,
real, bona fds wheat.

a Convenient Mark for Sheen.

When farmer keeps his flock within his
own incoSure; or does not require an ear
mark to slingush his from others, the
following method will be found very simple
and convenient.
A; the first shearing, cut a slit in one
ear; at the second cut a slit in the other; at
the third, make hall crop on one ear, 4
the fourth, make hall crop op the other; abe
fifth, II fall crop on one earI and the sixth, ,
full crop on the other. By this mode o
marking, the different ages OF sheep may be
ascerIained in moment, up to six years
old, when it is considered advisable to dis
pose of them. Any one who has sensC
enough to shear a sheep, can understand a!
onco the full bearing OF this plan for mark
ing, and any hand who can dress mutton
can ascertain what aged sheep you may
wish to have killed. Let farmer keep 1
good stock OF sheep and he will not, as is
customary, have TO examine his whole hock
for one suitable for the table; nor will he
take his finest and most thrifty for such {
purpose, but he will find that those whcl
have the ends of both ears cut off, are sut'
fciently good, So also when his flock i,
700 large, and he wants TO sell q part, he car
select without trouble what he should dis
pose Of.

by the church at large in upper Missouri.
Mr.. Miller was young man, and blessed
with talents, education and piety, and bid
the most High, in the western country. His
remains were brought 10 this city and inter-

An Incident.

y correspondent of the Cincinnati Com
nlercial, writing from Cleveland, relates the
following:
must tell you of rare scene that was
witnessed on the cars coming up. At
Crestline a very aged woman, apparently
in dying condition, was borne into the rear
car by two brakeman, and left in charge Of
lad Of Ii years who proved to be her sole
attendant. The passengers were astonlSh-
ed that so old person-apparentIy quite a
hundred should be moved in winter;
even so far as the next station, and they
gathered round to help the boy, for she was
gasping as il for her last breath. Pres Cnl-
ly the fresh air and cup Of cold water re-
vived the aged sufferer, and we asked the
child why he had been left alone with such
charge? The boy told his story with u
clear manly voice and it was this: II was
his grandmother; he had brought her thus
from Green county. Missouri, uedr Tie Lorle,
of .ArkdnSaS and Kansas, by stage to JET
ferson City, thence By railroad, and lDas
taking her 10 Scotland! She had come out
from the old country 10 de among her child
ren, who were well-to-do planters in South
western Missouri, but she had taken an in
sane dislike TO the country, and nothing
would do but she must be carried back to
Scotland. She would receive no attentions,
would not wear the clothes provided her
would not be waited upon by the servants
'though father had two higgeIs to do moth
/ ing but %ait ON her." would not ride in the
carriage "that cost $500, ard was brought
for her Measure from Ciuciunaiih ~ She
would hardly take enough food to keep body
and soul together. She had endured all but
death IN the removal from Scotland TO Mis-
souri,, but in the first mouth after her arri.
val this craze came on her. and we've had
no peace since In vain his father -th,
old crone was the lads grandmo'her-haC
expostulated and begged till his patience
/ and fIial love was exhausted, and he 'hat
TO choose between sending the auld one {,

Fleetness Of the Horse.

Taken separately, greater degree oil
swiftness or strength may be found in GER
tain other animals, but in none are all these
properties so fully and perfectly developed
as in the horse. And what is also remark
able, in him they are improved by domesti-
cation, process which tends to deterioate
them in most other animals. II is thus by
the unwearied attention Of breeders, that
our own horses are now capable OF perform
ing what no others can. In 1855, Matchem
ran the Beacon Course at New market--in
length four miles one furlong and one hun
dred and thirtyeeight yards-wth eight
stone and seven pounds, in seven minutes
and half; and the Round Course, which is
three miles six lurlongs and nineiy.three
yards, in six minutes and forty seconds,
carrying nine stone and two pounds. In
1772, mile was run by Firetail in one
minnie and four seconds. In theyear l742,
/ the post master of Stretton rode on differ
ent horses, along the road to and from Lon
don, no less Il an 2l5 miles, in eleven hours
and halr-a rate Of above eighteen miles
an hour; and in July, l7SS, horse belong
ing TO gentleman of Bllliter Square, Lon.
don, was trotted for wager thirty miles in
an hour and twenty-five minutes-which is
at the rate Of more than twenty-one miles an
hour. In September, 1884, Shetland
/ pony, eleven hands high, carrying five stone
was matched for one hundred guineas 10 run
from Norwich to Yarmouth and back agan'
which is lorty-four miles. He performed
/ il with ease in three hours ard lorty-iive
minutes, which is thought to be the great
est feat ever done by horse Of his height.
In October l74l, at the Currah meeting in
Ireland, Mr.. Wilde engaged 70 ride l2I
miles in nine hours, lie performed it IN SIX
hours and twenty one minutes, riding ten
horses. and allowing for mounting and dis
mounting, and a moment for reFreshmcnti
he rode for six hours at the rate of twenty
miles an hour.
Mr.. Shalto, in 1862, with ten horses
and five Of them ridden twice, accomplished
fifty miles and quarter IN one hour and
fortv-nne minutes. In 1888, he won Q
second match, which was to provide per,
son to ride 100 miles day on any horse
each day, for nine days together, and t(
have any number Of horses not exceeding
twenty-nine; he accomplished it on fourteen
horses: and one day he rode l6O miles, Of
account Of the tiring of his first horse. The
celebrated Marquis de Lafayette rode II
August, l778, from Rhode Island to Bos,
ION, distance Of nearly seventy miles, in
, hours, and returned in 8 and half. Mr.
Huell's Quibbler, however, afforded th'
most extraordinary instance on record o
the stoulness as well as speed Of the race
= horse, when, in December, l7S6, he raj
,wenly-three miles around the fiat at New
: market in fifty-seven minutes and ten sec

I ness of the horse, and to confirm our asser

ILL GAEL AROUND AND PAY.-What q
world OF woe is contained in these few words,
TO the poor artisan and mechanic! "Ill call
around and pay" says the rich man, to avoid
the trouble of going TO lis desk to get the
necessary funds, and the poor mechanic is
obliged to 60 home TO disappoint his work.
men, and all who depend upon him for their
due. 1t is an easy matter to work; the only
real glory in this life is an independent idea
Of being able TO sustain yourself by the la
Dor Of your own hands, and it may be easily
imagined what crushing farce there is in
"I'll call around and pay" to the laboring
man, who depends upon that pay for sub
sistenoe. II those who could pay would pay
at once, it would place hundreds and thou
sands in condition TO do likewise, and
would prevent much misery and distress.

Ny Dear Friend: l feel well and in good
spirits. My cold is going of, and although
iteaves me weak my eye and head are clear,
and that awful depression which accompa-
nes the disease has disappeared. 1t will
return occasionally for fortnight, perhaps,
but not fer long visits.
Ny main relief, however, is, that Con-
gress got through so well. can now sleep
nights. We have gone through the most
important crisis which has occurred since
the foundation ofthe Government, and what
ever party may prevail hereafter, the Union
stands firm. Faction, dsunion, and the love
Of mischief are put under, at least Tor The
present, and l hope for a long time.
Another effect of recent occurrences is the
softening of political animoseties. Those
who Have acted together in this crisis, can
never again feel sharp aspersions toward
one another. For instance, it is impossible
that should entertain hostile feelings or
political acrimonoy towards Gen. Cass, Dick
inson, Shields, Bright, Rusk, &c., &c., in
the Senate. We have agreed that, as We are
never likely to be called on to act in mat
ter Of so much moment TO the country again,
so we will not mar the joy or the honor OF
the past by any unnecessary quarreiS for
the future.
Another thing is not altogether improba-
bic, and that is remodeling Of parties. II
any considerable body of the Wigs Of the
North shall act in tie spirit Of the majority
of the recent Convention in New Yor%, .
new arrangement of parties is unavoidable
There must be a Union party and an op-
posing party, under some name, | know moi
what-very likely the party OF Liberty.
Many good men among our Wing friends
of the North could not make up their minds
to renounce their old ideas and support the
great measures. Very well, and if, now
that the measures are adopted, and the ques'
tions settled, those men will support things
as they are, and resist all further attempts
at agitation and disturbances, and make M
efforts for another change, they ought still tc
be regarded as Wings, But those who ac
otherwise, or shall act otherwise, and con-
tinue to talk of the Wi'mot Provisos, and tC
resist, or seek the repeal of the Fugitive
Slave bill, or use any other means TO disturb
the quiet of the country, will have no righ
10 consider themselves either as Wings oil
as friends to this administration. Because
there is one thing that is fixed and settled
and that is that the present administration
will not recognize one set Of Wig princi
pies for the North and another for th
, South.
In regard TO the great questions of con
, stitutionol law and public policy, upon whicl
! the Wing party is founded, we must all b
of one faith, and that can be regarded as II
Wing party in New York or Massachusetts
, which espouses doctrines and utters sentl
ments hostile to the Just and constitutions
rights of the South, ard therefore such a
Q Southern Wings cannot agree to.
Y You will be glad that have reached tn
/ bottom of the fourth pege.
Yours traly, DANIEL WEBSTER.
