PROTECTION AGAINST DRoUTH.-The
frequent stirring of soils between the rows is
undoubtedly protection, and, in ordinary
cases, sufficient protection against drouth -
The air passes freely through soils frequent,
ly stirred; and whenever air comes in con-
tact with body colder than itself, it de-
posits moisture, as in tumbler filled with
ice water at the dinner table, or in particles
of a soil at some inches depth, and conse'
quently colder than the air above the sur
face. When the farmer gees his tumbler
sweat, as it is sometimes exp essed, he may
be assured that so it fares with the soil six
or eight inches below well-stirred surface,
provided the soil were mellowed to that or a
greater depth before the crop was put in.
The great source of protection in our coun-
try is in deep ploughiug. On soil Of any
decent consistency it would be impossible
that a crop should suffer from drouth if the
soil were pulverized to depth Of fifteen
inches, because the lower portion of such a
soil would retain moisture till long after the
surface should have received new supplies
from the clouds. If our readers are alarmed
at fifteen inches as depth which they des-
pair of reaching, we think them too easily
alarmed, but still We will meet them on

PAUL MoRpHY-The correspondent Of

ply. They were all most attentively studied
encounters, and will be published, but they
present this peculiarly, that while in every
case they appear, up to the eighteenth Or
twentieth move, equal on both sides, at about
that stage of the game the American, by some
unexpected maneuvre, secures the advantage
and retains it to the close. The first game
only was draw, the American won the 9th
ers. A curious tournament is still going on
at the Cafe de Regence. Upwards Of one
hundred amateurs have subscribed to give
dinner to Mr.. Morphy, but as preliminary
measure to that act of courtesy, they have
agreed to play togetherin FIVE categories uu-
til only one remains victor for each division,

be said that, although things have always
gone wrong, and are always going worse, that
is no reason why we should trouble ourselves
about them. On the contrary, it is good and
cogent reason why we should not trouble
ourselves The sun will certainly set to.mor-

for there have. been good many dark nights
before tomorrow night; and very likely there
will be great many after it, but that is
no reason why we should refuse to light the
gas and go supperless to bed. Nay, if we
are too poor to get up anything so brilliant
as gas, we can at least set fire toa campbene
lamp, and be as jolly as it is possible to be
in view of an explosion which may consign
us to horrible death.
But we have no quarrel with the croak-
ers. Some of them mean very we'll, and all
of them think themselves very wise. There
is. doubtless, use for frogs. In the spring

GERARD, THE LION KILLER.

After nv return to Africa, | was attached
to the Government Office, and was, there
fore, obliged to give up my old quarters at
Guelma and reside at Constantine In this
part of the country some tribes still hunt the
lion, as it might be called, by assault-a
royal chase that is far superior to every other
method, and those that engage in it play for
heavy stakes. They 90 in body of thirty
or forty men to find the lion in his lair, and
irritate him until he comes out, not to flee,
but to attack the disturbers of his rest. The
Arabs remain in body, and when the lion
is within ten steps of them, they fire all at
once. but in spite of this hail storm Of lead,
eight times out of ten the animal is not killed
ot the shot, but dashes on his foes, and
thrashing about iu the living mass, dies un'

the south of Constantine, when lion has

himself for life in some ueighborlng noun

meeting. The horsemen take their position
on the plain at the base of the mountain,

Spots ON THE SUN.-It is an interesting
fact, that the spots on the sun have led to
some very important discoveries in regard
to its physical constitution. IT has been
pretty satisfactorily ascertaiBed by ingen-
ious observations, that these spots are moth.
ing else than holes through which the body
itself of the luminary is caught sight Of
The sun, therefore, is composed Of two very
different materials, namely the internal mass,
which is a solid body, non-luminous, black
and a superficial envelope, which consists OF
a light stratum of inAamed subtaDce, whence
the star appears to derive its light and heat
giving power. An elastic fluid, elaborated
on the dark surface of the sun, and floating
upward through the luminous coat, would
force it aside temporarily, like the drawing
back of curtain, and 80 produce the effect
ofspots. This motion gives two distinct at
mospheres to envelope the enterior globe OF
the sun. The most extraordinary fact how
ever, in connection with the spots on the
suns surface, is the singular coincidence OF
their periods with those great disturbances
in the magnetic system Of the earth to
which the term magnetic storms,' has been
given. These disturbances, during which the
magnetic needle is greatly and universally
agitated-not in particular limited locali'
ty, but at one and the same instant of time
over the whole earth, are found, so far as ob.
servation has hitherto entended, to maintain
a parallel, both in respect Of their frequency
of occurrence and intensity in successive
years, with the abundance and magnitude
of the spots in the same years, too close 20

of most important significance, but which
science is as yet unable to interpret.

SHooTINe.-Capt. Travis, the greatest

bic shooting at his gallery, in this city, a
day or two since, at the distance offourteen
PAGES. Out of twelve shots at the figure he
hit the bell eleven times; with the pistol
inherited, he hit the bell eight times in ten ;
discharging the pistol between his knees, he
hit the bell four times in five. Eight figures
marked on the board were then struck sue
cessively, at the random call of one Of the
spectators. Capt. Ts servant then took his
position near the figure and held percus-
sion cap box-of the diameter of half dol.
lar-between his thumb and fore finger. The
captain took deliberate aim at this object,
and sent bullet through it midway between
the centre and circumference. He &closed
the exhibition of his skill by firing at half

width of the coin separated them. The coin

A STRANGE SroRY.-The Perth Canada
East Courier relates singular story about
a man named John Mcintosh of Litchfeld,
who went into the woods in search Of cattle,
and remained about seventeen days, during
which time he was searched for in vain. On
the seventeenth day he returned, weak and
emaciated, just able to walk, bis feet 80 swol-
len that it was necessary to cut his boots
from them. When able to tell what had
caused bis long absence, he said that he lay
the whole time under the cleft of q rock,
near a spring of cold water; how he got
there he knew not, but his strength left him
and he could not leave the spot. he saw
one of the men who was on the search, and
his gig, quite close to him twice, when he
made all the efforts possible to draw the
mans attention, but could not as be had not
the least power to speak or move.
He thinks that he tried to leave the place
three or four times, but could not. When
he awoke (for he had been asleep on the
seventeenth day, be says he heard voice
which said-'rise, rise, and 90 home, when
he made his way to the house as above stated
