DoN'T LIKE SOUTH CARoLNA.-The Lou

ticing the introduction in the Legislature
by Harrison of resolution requesting
the President to withdraw the troops from
the forts and Notifications in the seeding
States," says: Before we would ever con-
sent to get on our knees to South Carolina
in this sort of begging the question style
we would declare the United States Gov
ernment a nullity at once, beg the rebel
States to take such of its remains rs might
please them, and let US, like underlngs,
dodge about between the mighty legs of
King Pickens, seeking dishonorable graves.
We are opposed to coercion. We are for
letting the seeding States alone. At the
same time we are for having and making
the seeding States let the United States
alone. While we are an American citizen.
we will never acknowledge the superiority
of South Carolina & Co. over the small bal
ance of the world. While the stars and
stripes wave over the remainder of the Uni
ted States, let them never be lowered to
satisfy the caprice of factious and frac-
tious mob of Southern fanatics. Never,

NEW BLASTING PowDER.-A French scien-
tho newspaper says that patent has just
been taken out in Belgium for a simple
method of making blasting powder from
spent tan bark. 1t says that while the
price of this powder is less than that OF
the gunpowder, ittakes but one seventeenth
part as much to produce the same effect as
the latter. 1t is composed of fifty-two and
one half pounds of nitrate of soda to sew
enty-two aud one half pounds of waste
tan bark, and twenty pounds of pulverized
sulphur. The nitrate of soda is dissolved
in sufficient quantity of boiling water
and the bark added in manner to COM
pletely impregnate it with the solution, af-
ter which the sulphur is added in the same
way. The mixture Is taken from the fire
and thoroughly dried, when it is ready for
use. If it is wet, this does not permanent
ly injure it, but on being again dried, it is
as good as ever. If fired in the open air,
it causes no explosion, but is very efficient
for blasting when confined in the usual
manner. 1t is not suitable for use in guns
or cannons.

advice from a friend When you are ra-
cling with an opposite steamboat, or chasing
her and the other passengers are cheering
the captain, who is sitting on the safety
valve to keep it down with his weight. go
as far as you can from the engine, and lose
no time, especially if you hear the captain
exclaim, Fire up boys; put on the rosin =
Should servant call out, Those gentle
men who have not paid their passage will
please 60 to the ladies' cabin = obey the
summons without moments delay, for
then an explosion may be apprehended.-
"Why to the ladies' cabin ?" said I. "Be-
cause it is the end of the boat, and they are
getting anxious for the personal security OF
those who have not yet paid their dollar,
being of course Indifferent about the rest
Therefore: never pay in advance For
should you fall overheard during the race,
and the watch cries out to the captain, A
passenger overheard 7 he will ask, Has he
paid his passage?' and if he receives an
answer in the Affirmative, he will call out,
go ahead ?"

APERrEcr RAT DRIvER-Chloride of lime
has frequently proved sure thing to drive
rats away from any place infested by them.
An ounce of it, scattered in the place where
they come to feed, or wrapped in bit OF
muslin and put in their holes, where it ac-
quires dampness, produces gas that is not
offensive to man, but is to the rats. If chlo-
ride of lime is moistened with muriatic
acid, and placed in drain, vault, or cellar,
and closed from the air little while, the
rats will depart, because it will be death to
remain. This is also good disinfectant,
and will for time cure the effiuvia of a
dead rat. One application Of dry chloride
of lime to rat holes has driven them away
for year, when renewal of it started them
again.

CoAL-Ir's MrcHAs1cAL PowERs.-It is

CoAL-Ir's MECHANICAL PowERs.-lt is
stated by Professor Rogers that each acre
of a coal seam in England, four feet in
thickness. and yielding one yard net of pure
fuel, is equivalent to about five thousand
tons, and possesses therefore, reserve of
mechanical strength in its fuel equal to the
life labor of one thousand six hundred
men Each square mile of one such single
coal bed contains eight million tuns of fuel
equivalent to one million of men laboring
through twenty years of their ripe strength.
Assuming, for calculation, that ten million
tuns out of the present annual products of
the British coal mines-namely, sixty-hve
millions-are applied to the production of
mechanical power, then England annually
summons to her aid three million five hum
dred thousand fresh men, pledged to exert
their fullest strength for twenty years.
Her actual annual expenditure of power,
then, is represented by s;xtv-six millions OF
able bodied laborers.-Hunts Merchant S

HoRTIcULTuRE.--The Amador Ledger
says: "If we should make close guess al
the number of fruit trees and vines that
have already been planted in Amador coun-
ty the present season, and for the planting
which preparation has been made, the esti-
mate would be pronounced Incredible
The planting commenced early in the sea-
son; and although apparently not half
through with that of all former years has
been greatly surpassed. Not much atten-
ton is paid to the peach, but apple, plum,
and pear trees are being set out by thous-
ands; and as 70 grapes it would seem to be
the determination of many of our citizens
to make the country one vast vineyard"

ABOUT TREE PLAYrIvG.-In discussin,

ABOUT TREE PLANrING.-In discussing
this subject, the Petaluma Argus says:
"Much depends upon the weather. II
heavy rains occur in the fall and winter
the roots of trees are injured, and then it
is better to plant in the spring. This sea-
son, trees planted now will do as we'll as
those which were planted earlier. You
can plant trees and have them succeed we'll
even until the first of May. If planted late
they should be we'll headed back, and the
roots nicely trimmed. Dig your holes
large, and pulverize the ground well, and
do not set the tree deeper than it was in
the nursery Be not penny wise and
pound foolish in buying trees. Get the
best from we'll established nurseries, or re-
liable menl for whoever plants poor trees
will be the sufferer"

A HoHRID PYRAMID OF SERpEsrs.- trav.

A HoRRID PYRAMID OF SERPENTs.-A tray
eler in South America writes: In the sa-
vannahs of Izacubo, in Guiana, saw the
most terrible spectacle that can be seen !;
and although it is not uncommon to the in
habitants, no traveller has ever mentioned
1t. We were ten men on horseback, two of
whom took the lead, in order to sound the
passage, while preferred to skirt the great
| forest. One of the blacks who formed the
van guard returned at full gallop, and called
to me, " Here. sir, come and see the serp-
ents in n pile" He pointed out to me some
thing elevated in the middle of the savan-
nah or swamp, which looked like bundle
of arms:
One of my company then said, e. This is
certainly one of the assemblages of serpents
which heap themselves on each other after
a violent tempest have heard of these,
but have never seen any; let US proceed
cautiously and not go too near" We were
within twenty PAGES of it; the terror of our
horses prevented our nearer approach, to
which none of US were inclined. On sud-
den the pyramid mass became agitated
horrible hissiugs issued from it. Thous-
ands of serpents, rolled spi-ally on each
other, shot forth out of their circle their
hideous heads, and presented their enorm-
Gus darts and fiery eyes to us.
l own l was one of the first to draw back;
but when | saw this formidable phalanx re-
naming at its post, and appearing to be
more disposed to defend itself than attack
US, rode around in order to view its order
of battle, which faced the enemy on every
side. then sought what could be the de-
sign of this numerous assemblage, and l
concluded that this species of serpents
dreaded some enemy, which might be the
great serpent, or cayman; and that they
united themselves after seeing this enemy,
in order to resist in mass.

absence will guaw brick or clay, and that
pigs who have access to coal or clnders
have done we'll and have been healthy. 1t
is probably the alkali in the ashes or cin-
