THE LINE LIcur-A new, brilliant, an

The LIME LIGHT.-A new, brilliant, and
very economical light has recently been
tested on n large scale, at the Crystal Pal
ace, London. 1t is described as more pow
erful than the gas from coal, giving an in
iensity of brightness-withs steadiness, con-
tinuity, and difusiveness In short, that
it is in every way practically available for
the ordinary purposes Of life. The new
light 5 obtained by projecting jet Of oxy-
gen and hydrogen, or oxygen and earburet-
ted hydrogen gases combined, upon a sur
face Of lime, and SO regulating the supply
and protecting the lime from erumbling
away, as to insure with perfect continuity
a maximum briliancy Of intensity The
power of illumination is immense, q single
Jet Of medium size being equivalent to the
light Of four hundred wax candles Of four
to the pound. II is represented to be pc
culiarly adapted for coast lights, steamers,
sailing vessels, railways, signals, bridges,
wharves, churches, factories public rooms,
squares, large and important thorough
fares For its portability, it is eminently
adapted for military operations in the Geld,
both in attack and defence Of important
positions, as well as the service of the sea
generally. On the score Of expense, the
saving is very great The lime light costs
two cents an hour, coal gas eight cents, and
oil thirty cents, for the same amount Of H.
Elimination The experiment and effulgent
display are described as surprising the ex-
pectations even of the most sanguine visit
ors.

To INCREASE THE GRowrH OF TREEs.-It
may be depended upon as fact, says a
writer, that by occasionally washing the
stems of trees, their growth will be greatly
increased; for several recent experiments
have proved that all the Ingredients Of veg
citation united, which are received from the
roots, stem, branches and leaves, of mos
sy and dirty tree, do not more than produce
one-half the increase either in wood or fruit,
that another gains with clean stem. 1t is
not clearly obvious that proper nourishmeat
cannot be received from rain, for the dirty
stem will retain the moisture longer than
when clean; and the moss and dirt will ab-
sorb the finest part of the dew, and like,
wise act as screen, by depriving the tree
of that share of sun and air which it re-
quires. A common scrubbing brush aud
clean water are all that is necessary, only
care must be taken not to iniure the bark.

The HoPEs OF ENGLAND ON THE DIssoLU
TIoN OF THE AMERICAN UNIoN.--Within the
last month, says the London Post the Vic
toria Bridge, the greatest triumph of eng
neering science, has been opened, and the
wealth of the Western States and Of Cana
da will be carried along The GAOnd Trunk
Railway to the Atlantic terminus at Port
land. Canada-thanks to British and pro
vincial capital and enterprise-possesseS
the longest separate line Of railway in the
world. 1t is, however, greatly to be re-
GREETED that this line was not continued
exclusively through British territory tC
Halifax; but this object we have a san
guine hope will be accomplished whenever
that general confederation Of the States Of
British North America comes to take
place-a matter which has long engaged
the attention Of the people Of Canada, aud
must at no distant day, engage the atten.
tion Of the British Parliament If war
should unfortunately occur between Eng.
land and the United States, the former
would be excluded during oue-half of the
year from all direct access to Canada
Again, if the Northern States should sepa.
rate from the Southern on the question ol
slayery-one which now so hercely agtates
the public mind in America-that portion
of the Grand Trunk Railway which trav-
erses Maine, might at any day be closed
against England, unless, indeed, the people
of that State, with an eye to commercial
profit, should offer to annex themselves to
Canada. On military as well as CONNER
cial grounds it is obviously necessary that
British North America should possess on
the Atlantic port open at all times Of the
year IA port which, whilst the terminus Of
that railway communication which is dcs-
tined to do so much for the development
aud consolidation of the wealth and pros
perity Of British North America, will make
England equally in peace and war, indie
pendent Of the United States. We trust
that the question of confederation will be
speedily forced upon the attention Of Her
Majesty's Ministers The present time is
most propitious for its discussion Whilst
the most distinguished men in the United
States, such as the President and General
Winfield Scott, view with natural dstrust
and apprehension the agitation which is
growing up in America in favor Of a disso-
luton Of the Union, the people of Canada
are quiet aud cOntentcd under British rule,
thinking more Of economy and trade than
Of constitutional changes which they know
could not confer upon them a single iota Of
real liberty and happiness more than they
now enjoy. But if slavery is to bc the
Nemesis Of Republican America-if sepa-
ration is to take place-the confederated
States Of British North America, then a
strong and compact nation, would virtually
hold the balance Of power on the conti-
nent, and lead to the restoration of that
Influence which more than eighty years ago
England was supposed to have lost. This
object, with the uncertain future Of Repub-
lican Institutions in the United States be-
fore Us, is a subject worthy of the early
and earnest consideration Of the Parlia-
ment and people of the mother country.

The Efficacy and Significance Of Silence.

Ono thing is noticeable in Garibaldi:
he makes no speeches. INDUCES in no
proclamations, and has kept clear of all
gaudy rhetoric.
The mouth is the great safety valve for
sedition and rebellion. Ireland would
have been revolutionized long since but
for the fatal gift Of eloquence in her sons
The pent-up steam of disai1eclon, instead
of being suffered to accumulate in volume
sufficient TO rend and upheave the politi-
cal fabric, was suffered to blow off in
noisy vaporiugs. So it has been in Italy,
so in Germany, so through all Europe.
Lamartne and the orators were the escape
pipes through which the fires Of the
French Revolution of l849, ready to del
uge with Vesuvius eruptions all Europe,
found harmless vent.
We do not underrate the danger of dis
union to these States. But while the
yawniug nav of Yancey is open, and the
rhetoric of Rhett blows off, there will be
no need Of fear. 1t was dnmb Cromwell
and the silent William that created the
two revolutions in England. The talking
Bonaparte, Lucien, was nobody; Wash
ington was no speech-maker; and now
comes Garibaldi, who never made a
speech, to complete the list of effective
reVolutioDists.

GRASS AROUND TREEs.-Many an orch
ard of apple and pear trees is destroyed
every winter, from the neglect of the owner
in clearing away the grass from immediate
ly around the bodies. 1t is now compara-
lively leisure time with many farmers, as
well as growers of fruit, and time should
therefore be taken by the forelock, and all
trees carefully examined for worms, and at
the same time have grass, weeds, etc, clear
ed away preparatory to winter. A very
little grass or a small bundle of weeds is Of
ten the habitation of mice that during the
winter feed upon the bark of the trees,
completely girdling and destroying them.

A Thilling Incidental Child Suspended
Fifty Feet in the Air.

The guests at the Lafayette Hotel were
yesterday, while at dinner, thrown into
a paroxysm Of excitement by one of
those thrilling incidents which attest how
intent and profound are the sympathies of
the human heart. A woman, stranger,
appeared at the door of the dining saloon,
and uttering a scream Of terror. What
she said was inaudible, but her actions
indicated that something dreadful was oc-
curing. There was a Simultaneous rush
for the door, and out upon the banquette,
when, horror of horrors! little girl about
five years old, the daughter Of one of the
lady guests at the hotel, was seen suspend
ed by her dress from the hook of window
blind in the third story, some forty
feet above the banquette. Every heart
ceased apparently to beat. 1t was mo-
ment of thrilling, of terrible interest; bu
it was but an instant. A friendly hand
from within gVasped her convulsively, anC
little Dora was safei
As the word "Sbe's safe, she's safe, ;
rang through the hall the mother, who had
not yet reached the door, and did not know
what the matter was, but who neverthe
less had presentiment that her child wa'
in danger, swooned and fell upon the
floor. The little girl had been at play il
the room and swung out upon the blind
The instant she was suspended at th'
dizzy height over the banquette, her it'll,
hands lost their power, and, had her dres
not caught upon the hook or catch of th'
blind. she must have fallen to the grounC
and been dashed to peices. Capt. Kirk
one Of the guests of the hotel, was ascend
ing the stairs at the time, and hearing thl
alarm and comprehending what was th
matter, rushed into the room aud rescued
the little creature as above described. -
The whole incident took place and wa
over in less time than il takes to. writ
these lines. 1t was a truly wonderful
escape from instant death.-N o. Com
