In scalding sorghum seed don't pour
boiling water over it and then "cover the
dish to keep the heat in,'' as did one who
narrates in the Prairie Farmer the sorrow
full tale of his failure. Boiled seed is not
profitable to SOW. Put the seed in bas-
ket. pour the scalding water over it. and
cover it for a few hours. The scalding
water cracks the hull, but as it runs off i'm
mediately. it does the vitality of the seed.
Those who have not yet planted their sor-
ghum would do well to try this plan, as a
weeks time will be gained By it.

depends upon the string by which the box is hung against the wall.
 Professor Very well; and what are the conseq quences of the accide.toi mode?
 .Sbudem.-If the string should break the box would fall, the salt be split, the salt box broken, and the cook in bitter pass ion: and this is the accidental mode with its consequences.
 Professor.-How do you distinguish be- tween the top and bottom of a salt-box?
 Student -The top of a box is that part which is uppermost, and the bottom that part which is lowest in all positions.
 Professor You should rather say the lowest part is the bottom and the upper most part is the top. How is it, then, if the bottom should be the uppermost?
 Studem.-The top would then be the lowermost-and so the bottom would be- come the top, and the top would become the bottom; and this Is called the topsy- tu2y mode, which Is nearly allied to the accidentol, and frequently arises from it.
 Protessor.-Fery good; but are not salt boxes sometimes single, and sometimes double?
 Studem-Yes.
 Professor We'll, then mention the sew eral combinations of salt boxes with respect to their having salt or not.
 &udem.-They are divided into single salt boxes having salt; single salt boxes having no salt; double salt-boxes having salt; donble salt-boxes having no salt; and single double salt-boxes having salt and nc salt.

sen the leader of the rebels, he took to his bed, and from grief and disgust never left it alive, dying shortly after the surrender of Cornwallis. We have always understood that his large possessions were coniiscated, and that his heirs in Virginia had always nourjshed the most bitter feelings of hos tilitv against the State, for this necessary severity. The Fairfax who played So in famous a part in the recent outrage upon the Trent, Is one of this family, most of whom at an early age left their native State and were educated among the enemies of her institutions-a fact which Lieut. Far fax admits inl his nauseating speech in BoS- ton. The other admission of his relation ship to James M Mason, one ot the VIC tins of his outrage, recalls to mind the con- trast between the conduct of the ancestors of our minister and that of Lord tairtaX, the ancestor of his kidnapper, when they lived as neighbors on the Potomac. While the old lord was supplying his retainers with arms and munitions to fight for King George, his noighb6r, the immortal George Mason, the grandfather of James NJ. Ma son, and the author of Nirginia's bill of rights, was engaged heart and hand il the great cause of independence. The qualities of these tive men have descended in reg uar line, and the relative of old George III's faithful servant in l776 proves him. self the appropriate instrument of King Abraham l in 1861, while the patriotism of Virgnias illustrious champion of the old revolution is reproduced in the manly conduct of his worthy descendant.
