THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN GENIUS AND
Coon SENsE.-Genius is rare and precious
gem, of which few know the worth; it is
filter for the cabinet of the connoisseur than
for the commerce of mankind. Good sense
is bank-bill, convenient for exchange, nego-
table at all times, and current in all places.
Itknows the value of small things, and con-
siders that an aggregate Of them makes up
the sum of human affairs. Good sense has
sight; it does not penetrate 80 deeply, but as
far as it does see, it discerns distinctly. Good
sense is o judicious mechanic, who can pro-
duce beauty and convenience out of suitable

took her place, after delivering herself of o
stately stoop to the judges and the court like
grand dame of the reign of Louis XIV.
She did not give their lordships any trouble
about taking her seat-not shel When her
attention was called TO the various acts of
cruelty, both of speech and act, with which
Mr. Barber was charged on account of Mrs.
BARRIERS alleged extravaganza in dress, she
clasped her hands in an emphatic way, and
exclaimed, AM Mon Dieul g est irJdme--le

that the usual Partisan calculation for lady s
dress varied proportionately with the family
income, and that the amount of the dot
brought by the wife was invariably taken
largely into account Upon an income Of
25,o00 francs, she could positively affirm---as-
suming two children--that lady was econ
omical who only expended 10000 francs of
dress. Mrs. Barber, in her opinion, was en-
titled to expend, at least, f400 per annum on
this object. The sum Of f200 per annum was

Proper Mode of CuItivatinG the Straw
i ..,.f. ra+ f berry. 9A $50 -'.l
Mr.. R. G.. Pardee, of New York, in a lecture


at Yale College, on the strawberry, says:
The following is the best method to culti-
vate the strawberry; Select a warm, moist,
but exposed situation; for early berries let it
slope to the east or SOUTH for late ones TO the
north. The soil should be a fine gravelled
loan. Avoid high, barren soils, and those
which are wet. To prepare the soil, make it
clean; underdrain, leaving the drain open at
both ends, to allow the. circulation of air.
Pulverised at least two feet in Depth making
ten per cent. Of the soil as fine as superfine
-four For manure apply thirty bushels of
unleached ashes, and twelve bushels of lime
Stacked with water, holding three bushels of
salt in solution to the acre. Transplanting
should be done with great care, and the root
lets at the plants injured as little as possible.
The best time to transplant is in the spring,
though, with care, it may be done at any
time during the summer. The lecturer said
he would, in starting a. new bed, place the
plants three feet apart. Water may be added
with great advantage, in large quantities,
except during the Towering and ripening
periods, provided always it does not stand
and become stagnant on the soil. The hoe
should never be used about the plants, as it
Injuries the roots. The productiveness of the
strawberry about New York docs not average
more than forty bushels, to the acre. There
is no difficulty In raising one hundred and
fifty bushels under the cultivation recon-
niended. In the winter the plants should be
lightly covered nj '-t.. ...r..r +. ..

An Old Man Kins TIis WIGS "a aramo our.

A horrible murder was perpetrated at
Poquonnock, Connecticut, on the 9Th inst.
Two Irshmen, Daley and O'Nei, went out
for ride and came home, somewhat intoxi-
Gated. They had q quarrel when they re-
turned, and Daley's wife went out to the
barn to put the horse up, and while doing
SO Daley and OiNeil continued their quarrel.
When she came out Daley had 0'Neil by the
hair Of the head. After awhile they separ-
ated, and Daley went into the house with his
wife, requesting her to lock the door, saying,
"0Neil viii kill me.p She, however, paid
no attention to what he said, and presently he
went out to the barn, and almost immedi-
ately she heard the sound as of a blow. She
rushed out and found O'Neil lying upon the
ground, with his head nearly severed by a
deep cut from an ak. t,..., = .,t '.',o'I n
1t appears that Daley, when he went out,
renewed the quarrel by knocking or throw
ing ONeil down, and then dealt him pow
erful blow with the ak, which he had taken
from the barn. The ak, covered with blood,
lay near the body. Daley then went into
the village and reported that he had 'killed
man." He made no effort to conceal himself,
and was at once arrested. The quarrel orig
mated in jealousy on the part Of Daley, who
suspected ONiel of improper intimany with
his. with. Daley is an old man, slightly bald
and gray-haired, and is sixty-sfx years ofage.

called upon to show how the $4,000 OF
$40, 900 which he said had been expended in
carrying the English Bill through the House

with those Of the Bank Of the Metropolis,

mittee over which Mr.. Crittenden presided.
Mr.. Hay received the largest sum for distri-
button, and the money was appropriated ex-
clusively to carry the bill through the House.
Mr.. W endall did not deny that $4,000 or
$4,000 had been authorized for a single vote,
and admitted that these payments were made
in expectation ofbeing remunerated through
government patronage, by which he had pre-
viously profted TO a large extent. He testi-
fed having had many conversations with the
President during the progress of the English
Bill, and in reference to that subject. -

Of them, Smith Lewis, appeared to be con-
sideranly intoxicated. He jostled against
one Of the white mems arm; white man
gave him push out of the way, and the
negro at this drew Bowie-knife and made
an attempt to stab him. A general row en-
sued, In which several, both white and black
got somewhat injured. The negroes fed
but a policeman managed to overtake one Of
them whom he. supposed to be the right one,
and arrested him. He was taken to the
people, who began to cry, "lynch him.
shoot him." &c. The gentleman who was
the chief actor in the scene, came up and in
formed them that they had arrested the
wrong negro. The crowd seemed anxious

serviceable to our troops. A statement is
also current that they were dispatched to
capture some trading junks which had left
Shanghai for the Peiho, and supposed to be
loaded with arms and ammunition. It is
also stated that the Chinese Government are
casting heavy guns, and using large quanti-
ties Of American anthracite coal for this pur-
pose. Guns Of the largest caliber have also
been imported from the United States Her

win never abandon the project of representa-
