An AMERICAN WATER PLAyT-The angler:
of Great Britain are again in tribulation, and
this time the boatmen concur with them in de
nounciug the case. 4 little while ago the
anathemas Of the disciples of" Old Isaac" and
a huge outcry was set up against these " over
grown geese, as they were called, for devour.
ing perchspawn. 1t was alleged that they
gobbled down myriads of immature fishes, and
thus used up the brethren of the rod, " hook
and line" il We may so speak But the swans
have had swift revenge. 1t is now discover
ed that some time since, there was imported
from this country into England an aquatic
plant called the AndrcijS .ilsindsuum. Those
who have supplied plants for aquariums sold
this among them, and the purchasers very soon
found that. il they had it, there was no necessi-
ty for any other. At the Cambridge Botani-
cal Garden it soon filled pond almost solid
and it was introduced by Mr.. Babington in
TO stream which runs into the Can. The
river was soon so full Of the weed that the
boating students of the university named it the
Babingtonia Dannosa. Fancy land saran
introducing the Canada thistle into scme agri-
cultural district where it was unknown, and you
can form some idea of the experiment of the
water saranS with the American weed. 1t is
now declared that swans are very fond of this
plant, and that only by this means can it be
kept in check; so we suppose the fishermen
must choose between the oyergrown geese -
and Aaaretis AlsnasHum, alias BaJmgtonia

CHco COUNTY-The bill providing for the
organization Of the new county of Chico, was
laid on the shelf in the Assembly on Wednes.
day of last week, and now sleeps the sleep that
knows no waking. We have been credibly
informed that it was one of the strongest lob.
bied measures ever before the Legislature, and
second only to Parsons bnlkhead bill. Money
was freely spent, and noses counted over and
over again, and the friends of the measure were
satisfied that they had a dead thing or II,
bat we all know dead things will crawl some
times This was one Of the times.
The necessity of the case at present did not,-
demand the formation of Chico county. and we
are glad the project was nipped in the bud
The time is not far distant when the wants Of
the people, and rapid Improvement Of the
country will imperatively demand its organiza-
ton, but the day has not yet arrived, and it
will be better for those who have been instru-
mental in rushing this premature measure
through the Legislature to bide their time.

Maize and Tobacco.

The Indian Corn looked over the fence,
And what do you think he spied
field Of Tobacco, just ready to bloom,
And stretching in lordly pride
To the bread leafed neighbor at once he called.
In accents loud and clear
q / thought you belonged to d Summer cline;
Pray what are you doing here -
So then, with haughty air replied
That plant Of power and pelf-
90 Yo1 are pleased 10 ask my business, sir;
What do you DO, yourself.
-- I feed the muscles. and blood, aud bone.
That makes our farmers strong;
And furnish bread FOR the little ones
That round their tables throng.-
" move in a somewhat loftier sphere
The foreign guest rejoined;
g As the chosen friend and companion dear
OF men Of wealth and mind.
I'm the chief delight of the gay young spark
Ger the wise my sway hold;
lurk in the book-worm students cell
In the dowager's box of gold.
Tousands of hands at my bidding work.
Millions of coin raise
He ceased to speak, and in angry mood
Responded the tasseled Maize:
g You re in secret league with dyspeptic ills
merciless traitor band;
With clouds of smoke you pollute the air,
With floods of slime the land;
You tax the needy laborer sore;
You quicken the drunkard'S thirst;
You exhaust the soil-and wish you'd go
To the place whence you came at first.'

but anything wearing their hated form, rouses
the ire of the Indian ichneumon. A rope-end
twisted and shaken. or the finger of glove
gently moved will deceive him into a passion
frage 1t has been stated that the mongoose,

snake, till the reptile tires of turning his head
and sinks into an unguarded position, 4 mon

so without any preliminary fencing, rushing at

drawn, could hardly be so treated That snake
has way of raising his head and dancing it
backward and forward like the hand of ave-

the mOngooSe must certainly vary bis tactics
against him. The tanned mongoose, indeed,
attacks the snakes of the juggler without hesi-
tation but something in their attitude, per-
haps, teaches him that the dreaded weapon is
gone. The Mahrattas declare that if bitten

has recourse. His account, however, of the
attack of the japanese ichneumon casts doubts

She can stay at home in time of war and

She can wear corsets if too thick-other

She can get divorced from her husband

She can get her husband in debt all over

THE Way IT SrANDs.-All the CONTEMPT
shown by England for America, in our present
troubles, is due to the presence of the Rebel
and Abolition factions. That she has not
thrown her active force and power into the
scale of rebellion, is simply because she was
too pradent to combat the conservative, Union
and constitutional sentiment that pervaded the
masses Of cur people. That sentiment has now
gathered such momentum that factions and
isms are fleeing from before it. as Pillow and
johnson fed from the presence Of the Union

How WILL THE BELLS BE UsED.--We find the following in the Tensas (La.) Gazette:
 As so much of our space is filled wk the proclamation of Gen. Beauregard, and so many ofour citizens will act upon it, we thought that it might be of interest to our readers to know of what bells are composed. For large bells there are three parts of copper and one of tn. A smooth or riGed -G-pound bornze guns weighs 88ipouuds, and is made of nine parts of copper and one Of tin, J9G pounds of copper and 88 pounds of tin. Two hundred and twenty pounds .of bellm metal, by adding copper, which is cheap and abundant, will make a 6-pounder cannon; and in proportion for large quantities. There are bells enough on the Mississippi river between Memphis and New Orleans, and contiguous to put in the field 10000 men. The toundries can have the guns made ny the time the men are ready. Our foundries aud merchants will receive the bells free of charge, and our steam boats and railroads will no doubt transport them free.
