AMERICAN LOCOMOTIVES IN EGYPT.-On the railroad between Alexandria in Egypt and Suez, recently finished, there were four loco motives-two of them of English manufacture
 and the other two were built at the Taunton Works, Massachusetts. It seems that the Pa sha's ears are open to fattery and the English engineers, through their consul, used every means to get rid of the American engineers
 They were told by the railroad company that the engines would not be used, and their servi- ces would not be needed The excuse for haul ing them up was that they were not strong enough to haul the heavy trains. One of the American engineers, getting an opportunity to speak to the Pasha told him he would haul as many loaded cars as would reach from one end of the road to the other Accordingly seventy five loaded cars-which was all they could mus ter--werc put in train, the PaSha's own car attached, and the whole were taken through to Suez, distance of two hundrad miles, in twelve hours making stoppages for fuel and water The Pasha exclaimed in Egyptian {: "God is great, but Yankee is very near per fection" On his return he discharged the En- glish engine-drvers, and now uses the Taunton engine altogether -t

BEAUTY-No woman can be handsome by the force of feature alone, any more than she can be truly witty only by the help of speech Nor is she capable of being beautiful W ho is incapable of being false It is, methinks, a low and degrading idea of that sex, which was created to refine the joys and soften the cares of humanity by the most agreeable participa- graces of her person by any excelling qualities, may be allowed still to amuse as picture, but not to triumph as beauty

LEARNED AND WEALTHY AFRTcANs.--Mr Bowen, the returned African. missionary, in Q lecture at New York, said that there were sev- eral libraries and number of learned men in the heart of Africa. They know a great deal more about us than we do about them. They asked, for instancs, if the days of our week were not named so and so; and when answer cd afirmatively, replied that they had found it so in their books The names of Abraham, David, Marianna and Susannah, are common in Central Africa MT. Bowen saw them with Roman noses, finely formed hands and feet, black skins, and woody heads They were the most learned among the Africans In Abeo- kuta there is market two miles long. Dresses are sold there as high as sixty dollars apiece. The lecturer knew an African intimately whose wealth was estimated at more than two million dollars. The women do not work in the fields in the interior. aa

SCENES OF PLUNDER.-The mutinous Zouave, Pierre Duval whom had seen SO severely punished by the Commandant of Tizouzou, was stopping over the body of one of the women, as, attracted by the firing, I entered the hut He had rested the piece which he carried, and whose bayonet was red with the warm blood of one of the old creatures on the ground, and was bending over the still palpitating form, as standing the door sill watched his operations. The object he coveted was pair of earrings, which were the only ornaments to be seen on the corpse. Rude enough they were, only con ssting of coral, in broad flat, tin setting. Seizing one of them with his blood-besmearep hands, he tore it away from the yet quivering flesh carrying away portion of the ear as he did so Turning the body partly over with his foot he repeated the operation, and then, al- most overturning me in his course, dashed out of the hut in quest of more blood and more plunder. Advancing pace or two Isaw the old woman not yet quite dead but it was soon over for the glancing flame had seized the hut on either side, and thick volumes of smoke filled the room, and both the dead sergeant and the rihed corpses of the Kabyle heroines were soor T reduced to ashes beneath the action of tho fierce hames-Sketchcs Of Algcrid

LECTURE ON NEWSPAPERS,
FROM MRS. BaowN.

FROM MRS. BROWN.
Why don't you take the papers, Brown
I'm sure it is sin, a shame,
That we can't get the news from town, s. +
Before It's old and tame.
There's Deacon Jones across the way,
Who gets one every week,
And he can beat you all, they say,
When call'd upon to speak.
The reason, sir, is plain, you know,
For when he reads il through,
His words like milk and honey flow,
And all be tells is new.
So he is taken by the hand
For what he can impart;
While old and young around him stand,
And say the Deacon s smart.
Oh, is it not shame, say,
To hug your purse so tight,
When mere BIZ Of clny
Would set the matter right t8
What good is gold, how can you tell
To any Of our kind, aIea
Unless il keeps the body well, .'
And benefits The mind
Why don't you take the paper, Brown!
I'm sure il is shame,
Tha, we can't get the news from town
Before It's old and tune.
Now let Us quit at once this way,
And take The worthy staH,
And eer year our friends will say.
The Browns are getting smart"

FODDER PULLING-IMPoRTANT.
The following letter from Mr.. Geo. Sea
born, we'll known as the late experienced
editor OF the " Farmer and Planter,p seems
TO possess much Of interest to the planting
community. Facts are stubborn things, and
the result oil experiments as detailed below
present considerations worthy of notice.
Mr., Editor I'll promised you statement
OF the result Of an experiment made to as.
certain what loss corn would sustain from
being deprived Of its blades at the usual
time Of taking fodder; and. also, whether
cutting the corn at the roots, alter the Blades
become dry to the ear, would lessen the pro.
duct.
Twelve short rows. as near equal in ap-
pearance as could be found in the field, were
get apart for the experiment. OF the twelve
rows, No. one, four, seven and ten were left
the blades on until they were generally dry
to the ear, and on some stalks even TO the
top, then cut up at the roots and " shocked I"
on the field until the other corn was gather
ed. then hauled in and shucked from the
stalk. No. two, five. eight and eleven we're
left with the blades on and No. three, six,
nine and twelve were stripped Of their blades
as late as is usual with US. Now for the re.
suit:
No. one, four, seven, and ten, when she'll.
ed, measured four pecks, one gallon, two
quarts and one pint. and weighed seventy
and half lbs.
No. two, FIVE, eight and eleven, measured
four pecks, one gallon, two quarts, and one
and half pints, and weighed seventy .one
and half pounds.
No. three, six, nine and twelve measured
four pecks, half pint, and weighed fifty five
pounds.
The fodder that was taken from the last
numbers was carefully cured and kept tn
itself and weighed eighteen pounds, which
added TO the corn from which il was taken,
amounted TO seyenty.three pounds, but one
and half pounds more than the corn alone,
from which no blades were taken, and two
and half pounds more than that cut up at
the roots. This experiment proves conclu-
siyely, TO my mind, what ! long believed,
that BY pulling fodder We deprive the corn
Of the weight, or nearly 30, Of the fodder
when cured. And. furthermore. that We
would be better employed in making hay
Than in taking folder from our corn. neg.
lected TO mention in its proper place, that
the corn was all well and equally dried be-
fore being measured and weighed.

CONCRETE FLOoRs.-The lower floors OF all
cellars Of houses should be composed Of a
bed Of concrete, about three inches thick !.
This would tend to render them dry, and
more healthy, and al the same time prevent
rats from burrowing under the walls from
the outside, and coming up under the floors
1.-The method pursued by these yermin where
houses are erected on a sandy soil. This
concrete should be made Of washed gravel
and hydraulic cement. The common NOR.
tar. mixed with pounded brick aud washed
gravel, makes a concrete Cor floors nearly as
good as that formed with hydraulic cement.
Such floors become very hard, and are much
cheaper than those Of brick or ilasstone.
