This morning Gen. German made a recon-

ASTRONOMICAL DISSERTATIONS
Prof. Mitchell was once made famous in
the scientific world by his discovery of a
method of observing right ascensions and
north declinations. He seems to be still
practicing his scientific theories. His
"observations" in Alabama show the reb-
els that a sword is as handy to him as a
telescope, and that he can make right as
tensions without an observatory, and nor

Under the Snow.
By GEN. T. W. LANDER.

The spring had trpped and lost her flowers,
The summer sauntered through the glades
The wounded feet of autumn hours
Left ruddy footprints ON the blades.
And all the glores Of the woods
Had flung their shadowy silence down.
When wilder than the storm it broods,
She fled before the winters frown,
FOR het sweet spring had lost its flowers.
She fell, and passions tongues Of flame
Ran reddening through The blushing bowers,
Now haggard as her naked shame.
One secret thought her soul had screened
When prying matrons sought her wrong.
And Blame stalked on, mouthing feud
And Knocked her as she fled along.
And now she bore its weight aloof,
To hide it where one ghastIy birch
Held up The ratters Of the roof.
And grim old pine trees formed church.
Twas there her sprug-time VOWS were sworn.
And there upon its frozen sod.
Where wintry midnight reigned forlorp
She knelt, and held her hands TO God
The cautious creatures Of the air
looked out from many secret place,
To sec the embers Of despair
Flush the gray ashes Of her face.
And where the last weeks snow had caught
The gray beard of n rvpress limb

What is a Gentleman?"

Two great errors coloring, or rather
dlscoioring, severally, the minds of thu
higher and lower classes, have sown wide
dissension and wider misfortune through
the society of former days. These er.
rors are in our modes of interpreting the
word gentleman" Its primal, literal
and perpetual meaning is, "a man OF
pure race" well bred in the sense that a
horse or dog is we'll bred. The so called
higher classes, being generally of purer
race than the lower, having retained the
true idea, and the convictions associated
with it, but are afraid to speak it out,
and equiyocate about ii in public. this
eqagocatlon mainly proceeding from the
desire to connect another meaning with
1t, and false one--that Of "a man living
IN idleness on other peoples labor

whatever to do.
lhe lower classes, denying vigorously.
and with reason, the notion that a gentle
man means an idler, and rightly feeling
that the more any one works the more of
a gentleman he becomes, and is likely 10
oeeome-have nevertheless got little of
the good they otherwise might. from the
truth, because with it they wanted to hold [
a ialsehood, namely, that race was of no

AN IGNORANT REBFL.-In conversa-
tion yesterday with a prisoner, who was
a bitter secessionist, and who abused
some of his comrades smartly for for
saking the Southern cause, we remarked
that the rebellion was soon to be put
down, and that he might as well become
a Union man, adding that we had New
Orleans, and would soon have Yorktown.

How TO PROPAGATE CURRANTs.-
In order to raise currant bushes from
cuttings so that they may have a clean
stem and but one set of roots, and those
at the lower end like seedlings, | take
cutting about ten incEes long and prepare
it in the usual way by cutting off the
lower end square. / then cut out the
buds, or eyes, excepting the three or four
uppermost ones which are reserved to
make a top. then stretch line, start
the cuttings by its side, eight inches
apart in the row, their ends one inch in
the ground, and mould them up four or
five inches in depth, like corn hills when
planted in drills. When they become
well established by having roots. which
will be in mid summer, level the mould
OF earth back to IFS former place. Should
any roots have started from the intended
stem, clean them off and plant them out
at one year old.
The advantage of growing bushes in
the above manner is that they will not
send up suckers as those do that have
been grown by setting the cuttings deep
in the ground, and allowing two or more |
sets of roots to grow Country Gentle

A MERE TRIrLE.-Capt. Rodman
having successfully cast 20-inch gun
and the test showing it to be safe and
strong as smaller cannon, is now at
work on pocket piece for the President,
the ball of which is to weigh 5000 pounds,
to have range of six or seven miles, of
two feet and a half diameter, while the
gun itself viii weigh somewhere in the
neighborhood of 200 tons. 1t is sup
posed if the Warrior, or any other Eng
lish ship, should be struck by one of the
pills from this little joker, it would diff
cult for the future historian to tell the
precise spot where the English vessel
was last seen, or at precisely what in
slant she disappeared from mortal view.
Captain Rodman is now finishing six
l5-inch toys for the new Monitors, three
Or four 20-inch playthings, besides Old
Abe's pocket piece, the 3O-inch Joker.

Cows VERSUS HoRsEs.-At a plow-
ing match held on the estate Of the Right
Hon. Earl Ducir, Crummel Park, we
noticed, says Belts Messenger, team OF
cows engaged in pIowing at one end Of
the field; and as they appeared to exact
a tolerable amount Of attention, we tho't
it worth while to make note or two on
the spot. The animals were polled cows
in full milk, and belonged to Mr.. John
Evans, Of Woodford, Gloucestershre.
who is, we believe, small enterprising
farmer. Two Of the cows were rather
old the hindmost one, the owner assur
ed US, had been worked regularly during
the last seven years, has had calf ev-
cry year, and one season was worked up
to the day previous TO calving. The
middle COW was three year old, and
Ibis was her second season, the owner
putting lis cows to the plow at two years
bid. Our readers must bear in mind that
hese cows were in fuIl milk, being milk
ID twice every day; on very hot days it
vas found necessary to milk them three
lines.
Mr.. Evans assured US lhat the cow
ave more aad richer milk when they {
'ere regularly worked, and that The
oods were larger in amount, as we'll as q
etter in quality; to use his own words, r
hen there was less quantity of goods .
ade his wife would tell him that he had y
ot worked the cows so much, which was
variabIy The fact. Our readers will, Of Il
urse, imagine that the cows were, and
Isht to be, wellfed; hay, oil cake, bran, u
ID cbaf, we were told, was the food a
ven them during their working time, u
e give no opinion as to the policy Of III
orklng dairy cows as above, leaving our
aders to draw the.r own conclusions. 81
e must say it was rather slow work ~
hough the plowing was pretty well 70
ne and there seemed no lack of strength re
will on the part of the cows. +
