While our army was in Mexico,
Gen. = was walkingin the pla-
"a at Tampico, when a Mexican offer
ed to sell him fine Mustang poney,
which the General, who has keen
eye for horses, was desirous ofpurchas-
ing; but as the owner was ignorant OF
English, and the Generals Spanish
did not extend beyond 81 and vamOS,
they made slow progress towards a
trade. The General called an order
ly to him, genuine lriShman, and
asked:
"Ordorly, do you speak SPANISH"
"Niver a word, sur"
"Then 90 and find me some one
who does"
Off went the orderly, and soon re-
turned dragging after him a full-5ood.

Advantages Of Rotation in Crops.

/. Each crop exhausts the soil Of
certain elements. Continuing the
same crops for many years consumes
these clements. The soil will not pro,
duco tina, crop longer. Another crop
consumes another order OF elements,
and will flourish when the other will
not grow.
,. Each plant, while growing,
throws off certain matters which are
not favorable TO the growth Of success
sive crops Of the same plant. Plants
in this respect are somewhat like ami
mails, which always avoid their own
excrements. No other plants may
use these matters. Hence a rotation
is profitable, because one crop may
take up what another throws of.
3. Certain crops have certain in
sects that prey on them. The cult
walton of the same crop for many
years, favors the multiplication Of
these insects. Change the crop, and
You diminish or destroy them.
4. Various crops furnish various
kinds of manuros, which are found
profitable on a farm. lie who wants
this variety will find q rotation the
simplest and easiest way to secure it.
5. A rotation in crops results IN
some great social advantages. Among
these are tae following, A commu-
nifty which pursues a goood rotation
will be more independent OF foreign
supplies. 1t will pass through a sea-
son of scarcity with less suffering. Its
farmers will be more intelligent, be-
cause their experience will be more
varied. Their prosperity too, will be
more equal, as it will not depend on
the ups and downs Of a single crop.

"BLAcK THE legend
concerning the color of Adam and
EYES skin, and the causes Of the diff
lerent varieties of shade and complex
ion now observable among men, are
more numerous than tie varieties
themselves. The following, which
takes it for granted that all the inhabi-
tants of the earth before the time of
the deluge were black, and attributes
these varieties to the sons Of Noah, is
new to us, and may amuse some ofour
readers :" Noah, say the black Mara.
bouts, twas entirely black, His three
SONS were also quite as black as their
father. One day, when Noah knew
his life would soon end, he showed his
sons a pit partly filled with water,
which he said had the wonderful prop
elty Of completely Transforming any
one that leaped into it. For a mo.
ment they all hesitated, but Japhet
suddenly rose and plunged into it, and
almost as suddenly re.appeaged from
the magical water under the form of a
handsome young Caucasian. Shem,
soeing this, eagerly followed his ex-
ample; but, to his astonishmont, the
water had disappeared and only a few
ripe lemons were at the bottom. With
the juice of these LIE rubbed bis skin
and issued from the pit, not black, but
of an Indian copper color. Ham then
took courage, and with one bound
reached the bottom Of the pit, on his
hands and feet. Frantic at the disap-
pearance of the water, he even put his
lips to the ground to suck up the few
remaining drops oflemon juice; thence
it happens that the palms Of the hands
the Solos Of the feet, and the lips OF the
negro race are Of the same color as
the skin of Shem."

IF, therefore, in the exercise of our right
to censure o. praise those to whom the
people have entrusted the right Of rep.
resenting them in our State and Nation:
al councils, we should "rap over the
knuckles" any representative OF the
American party, it will be from a convic-
ton that il is deserved. The prxcticetot
toadysng to your VI party has been
too much INDUCED in by party papers.
Party papers, as a general thing, never
see errors or faults in their party's acts,
hence is rare to find an honest expression
of sentiment upon party behaviour in
the columns Of a stIict party paper.
Much is expected from the next Leg
%islature in the way Of remedying many
evils complained Of by all good men
throughout the State. Much has to be
done requiring cool, sound and matured
judgement-in fact that OF which we now
most complain, has been brought about
by sending ignorant and unprincipled
men to IegisIate for us. Good and
competent men are nowadays above the
petty political tricks necessary to
get a nomination., and the consequence
is their places are filled by men Of far
inferior caIibre. Men of capacity and
integrity have long since been cast
