had piece of ground which had become
reduced by succession of crops. so that 1t
produced only tive hundred ponds of hay to
the acre. wished to dig cellar under my
barn, and concluded TO Try an experiment
with the earth which Was taken out. I
measured off one acre of the field above men,
toned, and drew the earth from the cellar
upon it, covering the piece to the depth of
two or three inches when it was evenly
spread. This was turned under the same
Autumn. to the depth of SIX inches. The
next Spring it was thoroughly. and one.half
planted in potatoes, and the other half sown
to oats. The result was one hundred and
twenty-five bushels Of potatoes. of as fine
quality as ever raseJ, and thirty bushels of
oats. again plowcd it in the Autumn,
going two Inches deeper than the previous
plowing. In the Spring thoroughly mixed
and pulvcriZcd the soil and Sowcd to wheat,
and seeded to clover and timothy grass:
had a stout growth Of straw, but owing to
the wccvlS the yield was but Is bushels Of
wheat. ! have since cut two tons OF hay TO
the acre for two years. think the four
crops have well paid me for the trouble of
trying the experiment, and the result has
been. thus far quite as goud as though had
applied thirty loads Of manure to the land
The soil was clAyey; the earth applied was
a yellow loan. think the mixing of soils,
as clay upon sand or sand upon clay, will
prove ofgrcat benefit where the materials for
making al abundance of manure are scarce.

The Manufacture Of Arms ut
Springfield.

One of the standard inquiries pro-
pounded by all visitors to the United
States arsenal in this city, in former
years, as they gazcd upon the forests of
brightly polished muskets, resting SO
quietly and pcaccably i'll their cases, was
"what are we going to do with so many
muskcts?" and they almost invariably
settled the question themselves by
replying that they would never be
needed.
In 1855, the three buildings compris-
ing the arsenal contained two hundred
and eighty-sevcn thousand stand Of
arms, and the works here have been since
manufac turing them at the rate of about
100000 month, so that to the above
number we may add scvcnty-two thou
sand as the product of the last six years.
AT the present time there are but thirty
thousand remaining in the arsenal, and
these are being boxed up and sent
away for actual service every day, while
the works are being pushed to their
utmost extent of production to supply

it is demonstrated that our thousands of
Summer visitors did not answer their
own questions wisely.
Ofall the arms which the traitor Floyd
sent South, but small portion were
rifed, while most of them were the old
flint locks altered over, and these are so
much weakened in the process of altera-
tion as to become almost as dangerous
when discharged to the person at the
breech as to the one in front of the muz-
nlc.
All the Government armories arc at
the present time in unprecedented actv-
ity. Mr.. Dwight, the new Superinten-
dent, has not only largely increased the
number of employees, but he has exten-
ded the hours of labor so that the works
are kept running from 1 a. NJ. to 81 p.
NJ, thus occupying over sixteen hours
per day. There are now employed in
the various shops arscnals about seven
hundred men, and this force is increased
as fast US room can be found for the men
to work in. They now turn out over
one hundred ritted muskets per day, and

A Vision in the Forum.
BY THOMAS BUCHANAN REED.

I stood within the Forum. and saw
The great triumphal temples, marble white,
Spring into splcndor, without stain or flaw.
A worldwide wonder and the lands delight
Then came the great Dcliverer, and his way
Was arched with banners and . erstrcwn with
flowers,
And jubiIant carions proudly seemed to say,
hited Italy once more is ours
" United Italy, | cried and thrust
My voice amid the tumult Of the rest,
When suddenly pale Brutus from the dust
Arose, and pointed 10 tho blushing West.
The glalness died within me- for behold
l saw.a vision on the sunset shore:
a lovely woman, made by anger bold.
In maniac rage her starry mantle tore.
sweet Peace affrightcd at her brow of ire,
Sped wildly far. and broke her olive wand,
While Discord entered with her scourge of fire.
And flaming War made bare his bloody brand
And Liberty. with sad avcrtel head,
Fled from her presence. weeping ms she flew;
Whlie crowned Tyranny rushed in instead,
Completing all that Dscorl left to do
The trampled nations sank and wept aloud
Sank in despair with sorrow ovcrborne
While Enropcs despots, growing strong and proud
Laughed It the sight the dircful laugh Of scorn.
On, pale avcngcr of thy country's wrong,
Peint me no further with thy bloody hand,
l cried. nor show me unto whom bnlong
The terrors tina; alfiict my native Land
My country. oh. my country. where stand
From Alps to lE,na past me rolls the cry,
That one word UNloN wakes this antique land,
And leads her sons to triumph or to die
And thou, the great examplar. having lit
The torch that dazzlcl tyrants canst thou thrust
The torch into the sea. and calmly sit
Nhlie Treason tramps your altar to the dust?
The sninel patriots cry it cannot be-
From Heaven they speak and from their graves
revercd;
The God who gave them victory will not see
The temple shattered which thcirto has reared.

are fired from the gun, the gas arising
from the explosion of the powder escapes
into the cavity of the ball, forcing the
lead into the grooves of the cannon, and
thus rendering the action similar to that
of the Mimic ball. The shell is similar
IN structure to the ball, only the conical
section is hollow, until filed, with pow

small brass tube, connecting by fuse
