TRaATIsE on PUscruArrox destined for Letter
writer's, Authors, Printers, Painters, and for the
| use OF Schools and Academies. By John Viii
son, Boston; Crosby, Nichols Co.
The above work is new Edition OF
one published by the writer in England
about six years ago, under the title Of
GA Treatise on Grammatical Punctu,
alton" No one, perhaps, will deny
MISUNDERSTANDING It's utility, Punctu
alton has not and does not receive thai
attention which its Importance de
mands. The man of science, the men
tai philosopher, and the philologisi
seem to regard it as too trifiing, amid
their grander researches into the laws
of the universe, the internal operations
of the human mind, and its external
workings by means of language. The
grammarian passes it by altogether un-
needed, or lays down few general and
abstract principles; leaving the pupil
to surlnount the difficulties of the art
as well as he may. The lawyer en-
crosses in character which is perfect
ly legible; but, by its deficiency in
sentential marks, it often proves, like
the laws of which he is the expounder,
"gloriously uncertain" as to the mean
ing intended to be expressed. The pain-
ter, the engraver, and the photographer
appear to set all rules at defiance, by
either emitting the points or misplacing
them, when required in certain depart
ments of their work. The letter-wri-
ter, with his incessant and indiscrimi-
nate dashes, puts his friend, his bloved
one, his agent, or his employer, to a
little more trouble, in coming over his
epistlc, than is absolutely necessary.
Even the author-who, of sll writers,
ought to be the most accurate-not
unfrcquently puts his manuscript into
the printers hands, either destitute of
grammatical points, or so badly pune
tuated as to create needless loss of
| time to the compositor. In view of
these facts, the author, who has deyot-
ed many years to this subject, has been
induced to put forth this work, hoping
that it may receive that attention al
the hands of teachers, students and au-
thors that its merits entitle it to. 1t
certainly should be in every school in
the land. For sale by A. N.-Alward.

The above work was prepared more
especially as book of reference for
the master Carpenter, and as a manual
of instruction for the journeyman and
apprentice. 1t is also designed to take
the place of the more costly works,
whose price alone often places them
beyond the reach of mechanics of or

SO often retard the progress of the

Wu1Tr1NGToN AND HIS CAT.-Accor-
ding to recent publications, the story of Sir
Richard Wilmington, (who was very ex-
tensive leather dealer) and his cat, is not,
after all so remote from possibility as many
have eimagined. Mr.. Southey, in his history
of the Brazils, relates that the first couple
of cats which were carried to Cayuba, sold
for pound weight of gold! There had
been plague among the cats in the settle.
ment, and the couple Of cats we're purchased
as speculation, which turned out an ex.
cellent one. Their first kittens produced ~
octaves each; the next generation sold for
20 each, and the price gradually fell as the
inhabitants were stocked with these beauti-
full and useful creatures. In the East also,
according to a Persian MS. quoted by Sir
VIM. Gore Ouseley, there is an island which
derived its name from circumstances of the
same kind and Mr.. Collet asserts, without
hesitation, that the story Of Wilmington and

VIM. Ousley, in his Travels in Persia, also
relates. that the worthy Florentine, Ansaldo
Degli Ormanni, was indebted for his wealth
and celebrity to his two cats, which being
presented to the King Of an Island, fCanafia)

ANOTHER FAILURE IN CoTToN CULTI-
Notwithstanding to the Paris correspon-
dent of the New Orleans Picayune, the
French Government has decided that here
after the premiums paid for the cultivation
of cotton in Algeria shall be abolished. Al
though the Moniteur boasts that while l.
Ola 900 pounds of cotton were grown in Al
geria in 1854, and 100000 poundsin 1857,
and the crop lin 1858 will bestill larger, there
seems to be little question the experiment
has proved costly failure, and the Govern
ment regards money spent on this crop as
treasure thrown away. The decree hints the
Government will soon cease to buy the cot
ton grown in that colony at present it is
under obligations to buy all the cotton raised
there. Therefore, in year or two this ex-
pertinent of the French will share the fate
of their other costly experiments.

PRESIDENT JUAREz A PURE INDIAN
It is fact of significance that Benito Jua-
rez, the man recognized by our National
Government as President of Mexico, is q
pure Indian. Never until now, since Mon
tezuma, has pure Indian been the ruler Of
Mexico. The Vera Cruz correspondent OF
the New Orleans True Delta says:
The blood of Bepito Juarez has run in
pure and unmixed stream from his ancestors,
who were the masters of Mexico long before
the Aztec race. Not q drop Of negro or
Spanish blood courses through his veins
The negro has again found his level, and
will again serve superior race. Theproud
and naughty Castilian is no longer master.
