l.IGAL TENDER. .-s'onIe people are at a
loss 10 know W lar is legal tender OF mon
ey. Most persons are greatly in error III
supp0 .ing iha; cents are legal tender for
any amount, and sometimes captious peo-
pie make large payments in copper coin,
which creditors suppose they are obliged
to receiye-from tie fact that it il coin
ed at the mint aud bears the i..press OF
the United States upou It. From the fol
iowiug, which is & synopsis Of the act Of
Cougrcss upon the subject, it will be seen
what is and what is not legal tender.
The law regulating the payment Of debts
with coin provides that the following coin
be legal tender:
l. All gold coin at their respective
values for debts of any amount.
2. The, half dollar, quarter dollar, hall
dime and quarter dime, at their respective
values for debts of any amount under FIVE
dollars.
3. Three cent pieces for debts of any
amount under thirty cents and
/. 81 the law passed at the last ses.
sion Of Congress, We may add, one cent
pieces for any amount under ten cents.
by the law of Congress, some four OF
i've years ago, gold was made the legal
tender for large amounts. Those who to
get rid of large quantities of cents and
small coin, sometimes pay their bills with
it, to the annoyance OF the creditor, will
perceive that there is a stoppage to that
antic br the law.

PROF PElRCE's THEORY OF THE Com
ET's TAIL.-Thjs theory may be coucisely
stated to be the discovery of the law un-
der which the tail is formed. While plan
cts and comets describe their orbits about
the sun and are attracted TO the centre hv
law of force, which varies inverscly as
the square of the distance from this cen
tre-the PARTICLES of the tail move under
the influence of a repulsion which follows
the very same law as gravitation, Of de-
crease with distance. The force Of the
rcpulsion is about three and a third time
as great as that ot' gravItation. Each par
ticlc Of the tail describes and independent
orbit Of its own, unaffected by any cohe-
sive attachment Of the comet itself. or to
the nei2hborinP PARTICLES Of the tail. The
orbit Of each particle is an hyperbola, with
the sun in the focus of the opposite branch,
50 that It's conveXity is turned toward the
sun and the orbit is tangent to the para
bohc orbit OF the comet AT the point where
the particle leaves this body. The forms
Of the tails of the remarkable comets of
1850, l744, aud Of the present year, com
puted BY this theory, have been found to
coincide remarkably with observation, al
/ though they were of the most distinctly

COUTURE EXTRAoRpINARY.-It is
becoming quite the rage among young
ladies' to cut the hair off at the sides, and
wear it as if in profusion of short, friz-
Lled curls, which are oomhed back from
the temples and formed into rows, one
above the other; the general effect being
somewhat irregular and very coqucttish.
"Charming," is the almost universal YER
diet, and .ttlrore is the consequence
among boarding school misses and those
Of our bellies who like to produce a senSa-
tion. The fever has spread rapidly, and
hundreds Of youthful beauties have sur-
rcndercd their glossy trosscs to the barber
Probably nothing but the dictates Of fash,

to part with any portion of their treasure
Of dark and golden hair. But are they
aware of the quarter whence this fashion
issued ? 1t originated, says Mr. Willis,

Try and enhance the value of her whole
public domain as to cultivate scientific
knowledge, stimulate and properly direct
the energies and dignity the profession of
agriculture by the establishment of sys-
TEN of State agricultural colleges through
ont the United States, to be adequately
endowed so as to secure the services of
the highest order Of profession, to render
them stable. independent and successful,
therefore
Resolved, That the Senate and House
OF Representatives of the United States
be urgently requested to grant during the
present session of Congress to the several
States, Territories and the District of Co
lumbia, an adequate quantity of the pub
| lie lands to endow and maintain Agricul-
tural Colleges in each State, Territory and
the District of Columbia, and we recon-
mend for this purpose the main features
of the House bill referred December Il,
1857, to the Committee on Public Lands,
as wisely designed to carry out the objects
the Society has in view.
Resolred, That the organization of such
institutions is no longer an experiment,
but they are justly regarded by the civil
lied world and by the best cultivated ag-
ricultural countries of Europe, not only as
objects of public necessity, but objects of
permanent public utility, deserving the
aid and care of government.
Resolred, That the Secretary be directed
to furnish each member of the Senate and
House of Representatives with a COPY OF
the above resolutions.
Signed by the Committee-B. P. John
son. Tench Tilghman, George B. Loring,
and w. T. NJ. Army.
The resolutions were adopted.
The subjects of steam plows, and
Sorehenn or the cultivation of sugar cane,
and the manufacture of sugar and syrup,
was discussed, and much information elic-
tied, which, when published, in the an
nual transactions of the Society, will be of
advantage to those who desire to cultivate
that valuable plant. Amongst the OFF,
GERS of the Society for this year, is the
name of W. F. IL. Army, of Kansas, as
Vice President.
Mr.. Leonard Wray was present, and
had come to this country to introduce
from Cafraria, Africa, the sorgho and i'm
phee- of the latter, he has cultivated
some sixteen varieties, of greater or less
saccharine richness. If what he says upon
the subject of his patent for the manufac-
ture of sugar and the cultivation of cane
be true, it viii prove good plant to in
troduce in Kansas as staple product.
