Flies Of l776.

The oackling Of goose is faLled to have
saved Rome from the Gauls, and the pain
produced by thistle TO have warned q
Scottish army of the approaching Danes;
but we never heard that flies contributed
to hasten American Independence till we
read the following anecd0ts in Randall's
life Of Jefferson:
"While the question Of Independence
was before Congress, it had its meeting
near livery-stabls. Its members wore
short brseches and silk stockings. and with
handkerchief in hand, they were diligently
employed in lashing the flies from their
legs. So very vexatious was this annoy.
ance, and to SO great an impatience did it
arouse the sufferers, that it hastened, if it
did not aid, in inducing them to afix their
signatures to the great document which
gave birth to an empire republic!
"The anecdote had from Mr.. JEFF
ferson, at Monticello, who seemed to enjoy
it very much, as well as to give credit TO
the influence of the Aies. He told it to me
with much glee. and seemed to retain a
vivid recollection of the severity Of an at
tack, from which the only relief was sing
ing the paper and flying from the flies.

To HAVE PEACHES EVERY YBAR.-A
sure way to have peaches every year, is 10
graft the peaches upon the wild plum stock:
The plumb being hardy, will never winter
kill, and putting out late in the spring,
will never be injured by the frost, and is a
certain preventive against the working of
the peach grub, while ths natural life time
of the tree is beyond that of our own, SO
that you may depend on peaches every
year, and for long period OF time. with
out the destructive or disecursgsing inau-
ence attending the growth of the common
peach. They can be obtained from fifty to
seventy-fve cents per tree, and you had
better pay fve times the amount and OBJ
tain them, and be certain of peaches every
year.

Eg-ln re-Opening the guano packet Jo-
sephene, now at the wharf, the sword os
sword fish was discovered, broken off in
the hull of the vessel, it having passed
through the dopper, the felting and three
inch oak plank. Judging from the size Of
the weapon where broken off, it must have
penetrated some fifteen or eighteen inches
into the solid woodwork of which the stern
is composed. In passing through the
oak plank the sword opened quite large
crack, which, had 1t been in any other part
of the vessel, would have caused serious
leak. The force with which the fish struck
the brig must have been terrific. How
many vessels founder from the attacks of
these powerful and destructive fishes will
never be known. but it is probable that
not few are lost from this cause alone
In most cases, in attacking ships, they mis-
take them for whales or some ether marine
monster.

Platforms.

The New Orleans Bee seems to be M
admirer Of platforms, more particularly
those Of Democratic construction. Ths
fact is, their platforms, for a number o.
years past, have been composed Of India
Rubber SO that they could be stretched and
distorted any way to accommodate sections
and circumstances. The following ex.
tract is true in every particular:
Platforms forsooth! One of the earliest
exhibitions of these political gull traps wa,
made in l840, when tbs Van Buren Con-
ventiOn adopted series of resolutions on
the subject of slavery, constructed with
such an exquisite Obscurity as TO bear al
most any meaning which might be affixed
to them. This precedent was followed
faithfully by the Democracy in 1874, 4s,
'52 and '56-gsnerally with considerable
success. On The last occasion the pro.
gramms of principles known as The Cincin.
natl platform embodied the then grand Dem
ocratic tenet Of non-intervention. Buchan-
an, Breckenridge, and the entire embattled
army Of Democratic leaders accepted ii
with joy and exultaiion as the very Shibbo-
lelh of the party. Non-intsrvsntiOn was
the watch-word, and non.intervention car.
ried the day. North Of the Potomac it was
made to signify something by no means
partiularly favorable TO slavery; South oi
that river it was the very quint-essencs ol
Southern doctrine. Well, it played its
part, and what followedP When non.intsr.
vsntion had carried Old Buck to the White
House, that perfdious and faithless old
gentleman turned his back upon the prin-
ciples. So did most Of the Southern poll.
ticians. The platform was not extensive
enough for their purposes, or rather inter-
probation was to narrow, According 10
them it involved something previously IN
dreamed of-nothing less than a Congress-
ional slave code for the Territories. A
large division of the party. however, az
hered staunchly to the original and univer-
sally recognized signifcalion Of the plat
form. Hence the Charleston feud and Bal
timore split.
And to coryoborate The views OF the Bee,
we annex the opinions of two distinguished
chieftains:
Ex-Governor Lumpkin, Of Ca, in re-
cent letter, says:
platforms of Conventions are nothing
but humbugs, and our best and most patri-
oiic men stand little or no chance for nom
ination at present"
Hon. JEFF. Davis says.
"fhe fact is, have declining respect
for platforms. pould sooner hare an hon
est man on any sort ofG rickety platOrn,
you could construct, than hare a man Icould
not trust on the best platform that could be
made"
