MoYKEYs-Monkeys are rising in the world.
A late letter from Paris informs US that one of
the equpages at the last March races attracted
universal attention from the fact tn It on tie box
next to the coachman sat an ourang.outsng
dressed in groom's livery, his top boots and white
leatters irreproachable in art and fitting to per-
fection. Every time the carriage stopped the
ourang -outang jumped off the box and stood at
the carriage door. For long time the Duke de
Morny had monkey who attended at table with
perfect decorum and the most imperturbab'e

Onions.
Farmers should turn their atten-
ton to the cultivation of onions to a
greater extent than they have fol
some years past. Onions may not
prove rs valuable as oil in every in,
stance, but the remuneration is Il
thousand times more certain, and with
iproper attention an abundant harvest
lis sure Onions are consumed in
our armies in large quantities, and
the demand has always been largely
in excess Of the supply. Last season
the price ranged from three to four
dollars per bushel, and there is nc
likelihood that it will be any less the
coming season.

celebrated gold medal, grand and
square pianos, manufactured at Bal
timore. Possessing heavy capital,
they have exhibited for the last thir-
ty years a most praiseworthy ambi-
ton aud untiring energy in the pro-
duction and Improvement of u supe-
rior instrument, both in point Of sci
Ientilic construction and artistic eX-
cellence. The Knabe Piano deserves
in an eminent degree the high repu-
tation it sustains, among the musical
profession in particular, as well as
with the public in general. The at
tention is at once particularly attract
ed by the tone of these instruments,
which reveals a singular beauty, com.
bining mcllowness, richness and pa.
thetic tenderness with mobility and
power of high order. Allied with
this, and certainly the most character
istic feature Of the Knabe Piano, Is
the great rarity of intonation and
Iconcisencss of tone throughout the
entire scale. The touch Of th csc Pi-
amos is all that can he desired-very
soft and easy, quick in action and of
perfect readiness and elasticity. For
all these and other artistic points of
merit, as we'll as of acoustic con
struction, we refer our musical friends
to the testimonials given by such ar
fists as Thalbcrg, Gottschalk, Satter,
Strakosch, Anschutz and scores OF
others.
We recommend all in search of n

Flax.
There is probably no crop from
which farmers can realize n greater
profit than flax, and yet its culture
seems To he very much neglected in
this locality. The scarcity of cotton
renders it in high demand, and the
amount of yield per acre, at the prices
for which it readily sells, proves it to
be for the interest of farmers to turn
their attention to this crop more than
formerly.
The experience Of fnN growers
shows the average of profits from this
crop rs follows One acre, il prop
erly cultivated, will produce at least
twelve bushels Of seed, and one tor
of straw. The seed was worth las
year $3.50 per bushel, aid the straw,
I if mown, was worth $1,000 per ton,
and il pulled, $40 90 per ton. Thus
an acre would yield proceed o
S64 90 or S74 00---a very hadsomC
profit.

First Oil Discovery.

1t is related in an exchange that
when jonah first took up his abode
in the whales belly, he wrote home
for his father to come down immedi-
atcly as he had discovered a splendid
opening for the oil business. The
next day he telegraphed the old gen
tleman as follows: "Father, don't
come. I'm badly sucked in, Plenty
OF oil, but no market!" This is the
first otJish-al account that profane
historians give US of the oil business.
