WEALTH OF OLD Notwithstanding to
Cicero the debts Of A. Milo amounted TO
above SIS, 100000. Julius Caesar, when set
ting ont for Spain, is reported to have said
himself that he was Sl0,000000 worse than
nothing. When he first entered Rome, after
crossing the Rubicon, he took from the pub
lie treasury S5,500.000, but at the end ofthe
civil war put over $,24,000,000 in it. He
purchased the friendship of Curio with
bribe of over $500 900, and of the Consul
L. Paulus, with half that sum. Crassus was
worth in real estate, over $4,000, 600, and
about as much in money, furniture and sla-
YES. Seneca was worth over 500, 900, O00.-
Leutulus, the augur. over 100000 600. Au-
gustus raised by the testaments of his friends
nearly Sl6l. 100000. T,berius left at his
death nearly Sl09,000,000, which Caligula
spent in less than one year; and Nespasian at
his succession, said that he required for the
support of the State over Sl,6l4,00O, 000.--
Nevertheless. though greatly enriched BY
her conquests. imperial Rome never came in
20 the full inheritance of the chief wealth of
the East. and the larger quantity OF the pre-
cious metals must have remained excluded
from the calculations of ancient historians.

LORD BRoUGHAN-T The Scotsman says: =
A very significant compliment to Mr.. Glad
stones oratory, and very striking incident
in itself, appears not to have been marked by
our London contemporaries. We mean the
presence OF Lord Brougham within the walls
of the House of Commons for the first time
during very nearly thirty years-that is,
since he left it in 1880 to become Lord Chan
cellor Ii is pretty well known that Lord
Brougham left the House of Commons, to
preside over the House of Lords, with the ut
most pain and reluctance-that his own most
earnest desire was not to accept any Office
which neeessitated the abdication of his po-
siton as member for Yorkshire, and that
be took position nominally and titularly
higher only, at the most urgent entreaty and
virtual command of his party. Since his re-
moval, he has never once been known to en-
ter as auditor within those walls which had
so often echoed with his eloquence. On Fri
day night, for the first time, ne overeame
this remarkable reluctance, and then, too,
for the first time, it is understood, be heard
the man who now occupies the position he
himself so long held unrivalled and undispu-
ed-the greatest orator in the British House
of Commons.

QUEER FEMALE CUsross.--A New York
correspondent, in referring to some queer
customs among the ladies of the metropolis,
speaks OF the almost universal habit Of chew
ing gum, and adds: Another custom is the
chewing of small aromatic seed called the
caronel; it is quite costly, bringing the
round sum of 50 per pound The ladies
have their pockets full, and use it inordi-
nately. 1t has pungent, biting taste, not
unlike modified or subdued pepper. The
use of lavender is also quite common, as Ia
dies say it adds to the brilliancy of the eyes
If not to the glibness of the tongue.-Ar-
senic is used to make the complexion more
brilliant. Ether is not wholly excluded
from the arsenal of those who resolve to de-
fend themselves against the assaults of time;
and painting is quite as common as dressing
the hair"

SrRSrITuTY FoR CeIToS The annual re-
mort Of the Secretary OF State on Foreign
commerce, far 1850, contains q despatch
from f. S. Claxton, eur Consul at Moscow,
in relation TO the economical use in Russia
of fibrous plant as substitute for cotton
in the manufacture Of coarse cloths. This
plant, whose botanical name is lSctep'ds
Comuti. he states, is said to be a native OF
Canada, to grow wild and without cuitiVa-
ton. and, after undergoing process, as yet
secret, to be in every way suitable Tor
manufacturing purposes. The sample OF
the cloth which | have seen, and OF which
specimen is promised me. compared favora-

standing well the climate of this latitude,
and is propagsted from seed sown in May
and maturing in September; it is then cut
and dried in the open air. or water-rooted,
like hemp, to be afterwards broken and
husked in the same manner.
Its subsequent treatment is the secret OF
the inventor. who has the sole privilege in
Russia for ten years, which he has disposed
of at a large price, and which he proposes
securing by patent in England and France.
The estimate put upon the value of this pro-
cess for the United States, is extravaganza,
considering the price of cotton and It's pro-
bable depreciation, in case all that is claim
cd for the invention IS realized. | think
the secret may be purchased by little man

The inventor admits that to manufacture.

changes in the 'speeders and spinners, =
but asserts that, mixed in equal proportions
with ordinary cotton, no change will be ne
cessary. He estimates the cost, all labor,
&c, included. at four copecks per lb.--one
hundred copecks equals one roublc, ono rou-

a Good Farmer.

IL looking over some recent remarks By the
Hon z. Pratt, on taking the chair at the for
nation of the Prattsville Farmers Club, We
ind the following suggestive paragraph:
"a good farmer in a neighborhood is a
great blessing; and let him go to what Bill or
Meeting he likes, his mode Of farming and
his Improvements will be adopted"
This is very true. and it is encouraging to
every one who is trying to bring about bet
ter husbandry on his farm and among those
who are, and are 10 be. his ncighbors and
companions. Whatever may be a mans po-
litical opinions or his porsoual preferences. if
his example be good, ifhe show on his farm,
better tilage, better crops, better animals,
and better profits. his methods will be looked
into by those who know him, and he will be
initiated; aud thus Improvement VIII 20 On.
