Miss Sarah F. Remond | am directed by
the minister to acknowledge the receipt of
YOUR note of the 18th instant, and to say In
reply, he must, of course. be sorry if any OF
his countrywOmen, irrespective OF color or
extraction, should think him frivolously dis
posed to withhold from them facilities in his
power to grant for travelling on the conti-
nent Of Europe; but when the Indispensable
qualification for an American passport, that
of the d" United States citizenship does not
exist; when, indeed. it is manifestly an i'm
possibility by law that it should exist, a just
sense of his official obligations under instruc-

LETTER FROM THE WIDOW OF JOHN BRowN.-
Mrs. Brown writes to the New York Tribune
to contradict the report circulating through
the country in small book. that her hus-
band was the murderer of the wives. of two
men, whose bodies he burned TO ashes. She
speaks bitterly of such maliciously false alleg-
ations, and believes they are set afoat by pro-
slavery men ''to prevent a sale of the memoirs
of I'll life of one whose influence, with that
of others, in the scale of liberty, operates 50
powerfully against them, both morally and
politically" She adds that false witnesses
appeared against the Savior of men, both
before and after death, and she asks {" Is
il not enough for the servant if he can fare as
well as his Master did?'

Sir have the honor to acknowledge the

to the taxation and other burdens imposed
upon American citizens, are to be deprived
of their rights as such, merely because their
compilations happen to be dark. and that

Cosr OF A BAD SMELL.-The precise cost OF

hat if intelligent farmers will attempt the
calculation. it will convince them that pure
atmosphere is not only the most sanitary but
the most economical, and that no fetid eman-
alton arises from the farm yard which does
not carry away moneys worth on its wings
to dissipate in the air.
An approximate calculation may be made,
but it will fail to give correct idea OF the
injury and loss sustained by the want OF
better system than the one now in use. The
carefully conducted experiments OF Sprengel
will enable us to arrive at a result sufficiently
near the truth TO demonstrate the general
fact A stall-fed COW will void Is 900 pounds
Of urine in a year, this will yield 240 pounds
Of ammonia (tnis is in addition to the phos-
pilates Of the urine and all the other excre-
ments); Of this 240 pounds of ammonia ne
less than l62 pounds are annually lost by the
ordinary mode of treatment-or rather neg
lect-of urine. Ammonia cannot be pur-
chased by the farmer for less than Is cents
per pOund-l62 pounds OF ammonia is S24 30,

loss on the other excrements is prOportionally
great). This S24 80 worth of ammonia is

That "SroKLEs AFFAIR" AT CHICAGO has
had rather singular termination. 1t will
be remembered that an outraged husband
named Williams undertook to kill German
named Kaufkolz. for too great familiarity
with his wife. and thinking he had succeeded,
he rushed TO the Police Office and gave him
self up, loosely remarking that it was merely
% Sickes affair. Kauikolz, however, did
Mt die, bat "on the contrary. quite the re-
verse; for he sent for Mrs. Williams, and
while the husband was cooling his rage in
Jail, and waiting for death to avenge his
wrongs, Kauikolz was enjoying the society
and attendance of the frail and fckle dame,
under which treatment he recovered so fast
'ha, on Thursday the guilty couple packed
op their traps, with every thing of Williams
that thev could lay their hands on, sent him
letter Of farewell. cool as a chunk of Nova
Lembla ice, and while the poor fellow raved
himself perfectly frantic at this fresh phase in
The affair, they were off for parts unknown.

Bell and Everett DefecriOns south.

While such political trimmers as Ex-Gov.
Hunt the Messrs. Brooks of the New York
Express, and some others of the American
leaders in New York are billing and coOing
with the Baltimore Rump nominees, sim
liar dickering is going on in the South be
tween the Bell and Everett men and the sup
porters of Breckenridge and Lane. The Bal
timore Patriot, Bell and Everett organ in
Maryland thus acknowledges and deplores
the defections alluded to
The recent defcctiOns in the South from
the cause of Bell and Everett betoken an un-
welcome state of things, and the shameless
dickering of some of the If supporters in the
North, are equally inauspicious. And now
we have rumOrs of contemplated defectiOns
from their ranks in this State to the cause of
Breckenridge and Lane that viii excite no
little wonder, if they prove true.
There must be some adequate cause for all
this. 1t cannot be in the record of Col. Bell
upon the negro question. We have shown
that to be superior, even in a fire-eating point
of view, to Breckenridge's. What can it be,
then We take it, it must be because Col.
Bell refuses to head the further crusade
against free labor in the future Territories of
the United States. He is for wisely exclud-
ing the agitation of the question from poll
tics, and though standing in reality upon the
Charleston majority platform, on this subject,
because he is not for farther war, the Mar
shalls, Gentrys, Martins, Carlisles, Readys
and Hoopers cannot go with him.
We begin now to suspect that for every
ten Democrats who Douglas may detach in
the South from Breckenridge, Col. Bell viii
lose as many of his old friends, who will rally
to Breck and Lane. The detection of so many
prominent men already from the Bell and
Everett cause, will, we fear, not be without
its serious effect, for the reason that these are
representative men. And the policy recon-
mended by Governor Hunt and Mr.. Brooks,
of New York, to unite with two lifelong en-
emies to absorb the Bell and Everett ticket,
is not calculated to encourage the honest
Southern supporters of Col. Bell, who are 60
ing in for him against the field.

The ChIcnro zounves.

The trip of the Cadets East has been a com
plete success. They carried New York city
by storm, and left in a 'iblaze of glory for
Boston The Tribune says;
At Boston they will be the guests of the
hospitable "Tigers," whose renown is COM
mensurate with that of the hub Of the uni
verse. Returning next week to this city,
they will be received by the I'd Company of
our noble Seventh, and in unison with that
crack corps will make an excursion to West
Point. If the Western Cadets prove the SUI
periority of their discipline to that Of the
Government boys they may then indeed sit
down and weep, like so many Alexanders,
that there are no more rivals for them to con-
quer Another year, however, may tell an
other story. The lesson taught by the
Zouaves has not fallen unheeded. Already
the best-drilled crops of the First Division
are moving toward the requirement of the
new tactics. But even if in a short time we
should succeed in displaying a whole regi-
ment of proficient Zouaves, to the Zouave
Cadets of Chicago must always be given the
credit of having first taught the citizen sol
diery of the North that change is sometimes
improvement.

S. w. of the city, occupies J, 900 acres, 100 of
which is never plowed, and is wooded and
sown with orchard grass, tOp-dressed every
four years with liquid manure. The arabic
land is subsoiled every two or three years
with four enormously large Scotch horses,
driven tandem; rotation Of crops much the
same as ours without the Indian corn. Crush
barley and oats in a mill, driven by steam;
keeps eighty short horn and Alderney COWS;
COWS stalls made Of iron; iron trough always
full of water in each STALL with waste pipe to
gutter behind them. and thence to manure
shed, from which il is pumped into carts,
similar to ours for watering streets and
sprinkled over the grass. Keeps none but
Suffolk and Berkshire pigs; prefers former
on account Of their taking on fat as one of
the swine herds said, % a dale of fat, a dale
quicker" The pig pens are Of stone, and
paved with stone, being lower in the centre,
from which a pipe conducts the liquid ma
nure to keep.
In the garden saw peach, apricot and
plump trees trained espalier; pine apples,
strawberries and grapes in all stages Of
growth; latter finer than in countries to
which they are indigenous and ripe all the
year round. Melons viii not grow in the
open air, but they have very fine ones in
frames. Her Majesty must certainly fare
sumptuously every day. There are 40 men
to attend TO the garden alone.

PRoNUNc1ATIoN OF THE Word "ZOUAyE."-
This word is much used in military circles,
but is frequently incorrectly pronounced
Many speak it Zoo-aOs, giving it the sound
Of two syllables. 1t is correctly pronounced
in one syllable, as though written Z,0aUs; the
a having the italian sound, as in fan. The
word comes from the Arabic Zouanna, a con-
tederacy of the Kabyle tribe, who live on the
mountains back of Algiers. The original
ZOuayes in the French service were composed
Of Arabs tpm the country near Algiers.
