A Rich SToRY.-The following we clip
from an exchange. 1t is old tut good, and
will bear reading againA
Do any Of you know old Bill Lowry /,
He moved from Springfield to some point
in Minnesota. Bill is tough, smart as q
whip, keen as briar, but then, like all of
US fellers, Bill loves to see the bottom Of
the tumbler at all times. Well, once there
was Methodist revival in town. Bill was
there-and little too full of his kind of
spirit to hold much Of the other kind. But
he sat still. At last the sermon was ended,
and the minister came down from his pro-
clamation stand and said: snow, l want
oil who love the Lord Jesus, to come for
ward and be prayed for"
No one moved. In minute he repeated,
"Brethren and sinners. want all who
love the Lord, or who wish to love Him, to
come for ward on the bench"
No one moved. Then he looked mad
and spoke out rather quick.
IF there is man in this house W no is q
friend of the Lord, want him to come for
vard-if He has no friends we will quit. .
Just then old Bill arose hitched up his
trousers, and in peculiar, half sober voice
sang out
"Holl-on-thar! I'm-I'm I'm q friend o.
the Lord 'or any other man. who hain't nc
more friends than He pears to ave in this
section -

knowing TOO mucns
The following anecdote of man who
knew too much has been clipped from one
Of the Memphis papers, and we think is
worth laugh at least:
During the administration of President
jackson, there was singular young gen.
tleman employed in the public p. o. at
Washington. His name was G.. he was
from Tennessee, the son Of widow, a
neighbor of the President, on which &C.
count the old hero had kind feeling for
him, and Away got him out of his Difficult.
ties with some Of the higher officials, to
whom his singular interference was dis.
tasteful.
Among other things, it is said of him
that while he was employed in the General
Post. office, on one occasion he had to copy
letter to Major H., high official, in an.
swer to an application made by an old gen.
tleman in Virginia or Pennsylvania, for the
establishment of new post-officc The
writer of the letter said the application
could not be granted, in consequence Of
the applicants proximity" to anothe,
Office. When the letter came into G.'s
hands to copy, being great stickler 70,
plainness, he altered proximity" to "near
ness to-" Major II. observed it, and asked
G. why he altered his letter.
"Why," replied g., ''because I dom,
think the man would understand what you
meant by proximity"
"Well, said Major H., "try him put in
the proximity again."
In a few days letter was received from
the applicant, in which he very Indignantly
said, THAT his father had fought for lib
erty in the second war of independence
and he should like to have tn. name of the
scoundrel who brought tn, charge of prox
unity or any thing else wrong against him.
There" said G., did not say SO ?"
u. carried his improvements so far tina,
Mr.. Berry, the Postmaster General, said tc
him, Il don't want you any longer, you
know too much"
Poor G.. went out, but his old friend, tn,
General, got him another place. This time
G.'s ideas underwent change, He was
one day very busy writing, when strange,
called IN and asked him where the Patent
Office was?
II don't know" said G.
"Can you tell me where the Treasury
Department is p said the stranger.
"No," said G..
"Nor the Presidents House ~
mo"
The stranger finally asked him if h.
knew where the Capitol was.
mo-" replied G.
do you live in Washington, sir ?" said
the stranger.
"Yes, SIR" said G..
Good lord and don't you know where
the Patent Office, Treasury, Presidents
House, and Capitol are?'
stranger" said G., 81 was turned out
Of the Post-office for knowing too much. -
! don't mean to offend in that way again
! atm paid for keeping this book. believe
| do know that much but if you find me
knowing anything more, you may take my
head"
GOOD morning." said the stranger.

Flax AS = Crop for the Season OF 1854.

Flax AS Crop for the Season OF 1864.
Few of our farmers are aware Of the sue.
cessful conversion of the fibre of the flax
into cotton that can be spun upon cotton
machinery. Such is the fact, and it bids
fair in few years to take the place of a,
least one-half of the southern cotton used
by the American mills previous to the re-
belllon. In national point Of visw, the
discovery is one of very great importance,
and will do more to crush the rebellion than
an army Of 100000 men. The patent con.
sists in bleaching and drying of the flax
after it has been dew rotted, as practiced
in this country and in Europe; and it only
takes about forty eight hours to produce a
fine silky fibre, purely white, without cur.
failing its length or impairing it's strength.
1t can be carded With cotton, and spun with
1t, or by itself, without any change of ma.
chinery. The cloth made from it is supe.
rior to that made wholly from cotton; the
warp being of fax and the wool with cot
ton makes cloth Of suitable substance fol
all domestic uses. 1t takes colors of every
kind-all glutinous and chemical substan
ces being destroyed when northumberland
these colors are permanent. Another ad
vantage TO the farmer is that the fax grown
to be subjected to this process does not re.
quirc to be pulled as early as heretofore
which will enable him to save larger
quantity of the seed, in fact enable him to
make the same crop productive for the fibre
and the seed.
We have not the data at hand to give the
exact production in the loyal States in 1860
but basing our estimates from the quantity
Of dressed fax as collected by the census
returns of 1850, We should Judge the
quantity produced for the fibre to be abou,
5000, 900 lbs, and fax raised for the seed
to be about 100000 lbs. total, l3,OOO,.
600 lbs, sown upon $4,000 acres of land
Now, if this new process succeeds here as
It has in England, and estimating it at %
cents per h., which is one third OF the pres.
ent cost of middling cottons, it will dis
place 500, 900 bales Of southern cotton, O,
one half of the quantity consumed by the
United States, the quantity of fax required
from the farmers of the loyal States to sup.
ply the vacuum will be 1877 ,OOO, 900 lbs. in
addition to what is already produced. The
value of the flax crop is now about 81 ,OOO,.
coo. It's value when increased to meet the
demand for the mills that will convert il
into 6brous substance will be about 500,
100000, equal to the whole cotton crop Of
the United States in 1928 and requiring
an additional breadth of land for its culture
of some 100000 acres. Every farme,
should put some of his land into fax the
coming season.

There was a trIaceia Of most epioye5le
nlsers In ore Of the Washington hospitals
last week, formed by three -of ssymout's
Commissioners to rake up Democratic votes
amorg the eick and wounded soldiers. The
stery, as circulated without the credit OF its
origin, il this:
When tt visitors we're seated and the pa-
pess arranged, Capt. B. recognized near him
an old co@rade. "Ah JACK, my boy, how
are yGu 81 SAYS Capt. B.; q OF course you go
for McCiel1an?" dyes" replied jack, "Ia
horn" Captain subsidized, ageat locked blank,
Z. Enfcktred, m awkward silence eHsued
OF several minutes duration, which WAS inat-
II broke by agent mounting = box, and de.
lf7erlng himself as follows: "Well boys, I
tuppose may as Well tell you what I came
here lor at first as at last. I came here to
get Mcclellan and Seymour votes. Now let
all who want to vote these tickets come for
bis hns sers through his hair, and sat down.
One lonely man went forward aud hurt him
himself, after which came q few questions
about Seymour's veto of the soldfers' voting
bill, aud other matters connected with the
campaign, which clearly indicated that the
Mcclellan and Seymour driver had walked up
the wrong paesslgers. The agent waxed
wIathy, and told several soldiers to go out
things looked rather stormy, when Dr.. Bon.
tecou, Surgeon in charge, intertered, md ad-
dressing the men, requested all who did not
Wish to vote the Mcclellan ticket to retire to
their respective Wards. Immediately every
soldier left the chapel, except tbs one who
had voted. Tue agent gathered up his docu'
mente. and carried them aud himself back
aeain to the hack. In silence aud sadness
the trio returned again to the city.
