FLOUR INsPECTIoN.-The Boston Corn Exchange
lately finding that the standard of Flour had great
ly declined, resolved to effect remedy by more
stringent inspection, but the universal nigger''
question has got mixed up in the matter and has
prevented unity of action amongst the merchants.
The Journal Of Commerce thus explains the diff
culty
sit appears that one of the Flour Inspectors is a
"colored gentleman" by the name of Thompson,
whose scent was very keen on the subject of South
ern -four. 1t is well known that nearly all of the
beautiful wheat grown South of Mason and Dixon
line will have, here and there scattered through it.
Glove of garlic: and that when it is ground, the
Hour will thus have faint odor of that pungent
vegetable. This scarcely Injuries it for any mar
ket, and is a recommendation for it in not a few
quarters; still it is blemish and one which can
not well be removed 1t is no bar to its extensive
sale, not only for export, for which this flour is
preferred, as it will keep in the hottest climate but
also for home use, as it is stronger and will 90
further for the same weight, than flour made from
northern wheat. The fastidous nosrils of Boston's
colored inspector, however, could not abide the
garlcky odor, of southern -four, and upon his sug-
gestion, at meeting of the Corn Exchange it was
decided that the word 'garc" should be branded
upon all such odorous southern products as found
their way to the modern Athens This decision
was reversed at the next meeting, probably through
suggestion from of the receivers that it
might diminish the shipments of the article to that
market. Mr.. Thompson Immediately resigned as
Corn Exchange Inspector, and has so divided the
association as to draw off large party who are
determined not to give way to the 'Southern intu-
ence, and who insist on their right, sustained by
long usage, to brand everything southern with its
most offensive name.

The LATE HOMICIDE IN New 0RLEANs-A DIsGUsr-
ING SEoUEL.-Dr. Graham of New Orleans few
days before the rencontre wi tn Toledano,s which
ended in his death, made the following statement
to Coroner Daunoy, which puts different face up
on the the homicide, and affords curious illusra
ton of the manner in which difficulties are settled
in New Orleans:
( DIR. Graham asked Mr. Daunoy if he had heard
of the difficulty he &C. had with Toledano on Sat
urday Mr.. ID. replied that he had not been inform
ed of it. DR.. Graham then told him that he bad
had fuss with Toedano that Toledano met him
next day and told him that he would not challenge
him (Graham), as he running for public of
fee, and it might damage ruin his prospects, but
that he would meet him on the street. DR.. q. told
but as he (Toledano) had offered it, he would ac-
cept, but on one condition, that each should carry
only single-barreled pistol, to avoid the danger
of shooting any friend who might be with them, by
the continued firing that would take place if they
used revolvers. 1t was then understood that the
mode proposed was to be the one carried out in set
thing their quarrel.
After this, DR.. Graham asked Mr.. Daunoy his
opinion of Mr.. Toedano. Mr.. Daunoy said Mr..
Toledano was gentleman, and that if such an
agreement had been made, that he (Dr. Graham)
might depend or Toledano's honor, and carry but
a singe-barreled pistol.
DR.. Graham then asked Mr.. Daunoy what he was
to do. Mr.. D. told him that according to the
terms agreed on, he would be justified in Shooting
Toledano soon as he laid his eyes on him. but if
Toledano did not see him, he to tell him (Tole
dano) he was there and then fire. The converse
ton ended here
There is disgusting sequel to this tragedy. A
DIR. Rossvalley, who assisted in the post mortem
examination of DR.. Graham called upon the widow
on the day fixed for the burial, and desired to re-
open the deceased, on the pretext that he had
dropped within the body valuable diamond ring,
while conducting the examination. The Mortified
and distressed lady referred him to her brother,
ex-mayor Waterman who to get rid of the applica-
ton gave Rossvalley S31, the value which he
placed upon the ring. Subsequently however
Rossvalley was arrested on the charge of obtaining
money under false pretences there being good rea-
son to believe that the pretended loss was pure
fiction.

The dedication of the Maryland Agricultural
College which takes place to-day, is an event
which should excite more than passing thought
among those, at all events, more Immediately
within the sphere of its influence That agricul-
ture is science, and that cultivator of the soil,
requires, or would be benefited by any special in
struction in his vocation, are ideas which have in
this country been too recently suggested to have
obtained the general understanding and assent.
The practice of giving the acres to the family
Ounce in compensation for his want of brains and
education, while the collegiate course and the
learned profession were reserved for the bright
boy, has been too long honored by tine, for the
most conservative people in the world, which the
farmers are, readily to question or abandon it.
Land workers have been too long left, like the
birds and the beasts, to their own instincts in
getting their livelihood from the SOIL easily to
believe that valuable information can be obtained
in any other way than by the experience derived
from each ones limited observation of the practice
of his neighborhood. The destruction of human
life has been acknowledged TO be of sufficient inn
portance to require the most thorough scientific
training, and our naval and military academies
have long been in successful operation through the
money of the people, with the peoples entire &C
quiescence and approval. The results have proved
the wisdom of the measure. In fact, the whole of
what may be termed the superstructure of the
arts, has received sufficient attention and develop
ment Agriculture alone, which is the base and
foundation of them all, has been neglected. 1t is
however, no part of present purpose to discuss
the importance and necessity of scientific agri-
cultural instruction, as an abstract question.
The experiment which goes into operation to-
day. will have more influence in the settle
ment of that question than anything we
could possibly say. The people of Maryland
as are presented by their government, have al
ready declared too plainly their sense of the
Importance of this effort, to leave room for
doubt that the experiment will be fairly carried
out 1t only remains for the people in their
individual capacity, as fathers, guardians and
friends, to exhibit the same appreciation which
their representatives have manifested to make it
success which will rebound to the honor and
advancement Of our State. We think
