Photographs Of Vegetation.

Mr. Beckwith, the American ComTnfs-
sioner at Paris, charged with the duty of
attending to American Interests in the
great exhibition of 1867, writes to this
country that 1t Is proposed TO form a dro>
rama in the Palace Garden for the ezhi.
Dltlon of drawings, and especially photo
graphic pictures of remarkable, curious,
useful or interesting vegetaticns, of which
living specimens cannot be obtained; also
pictures of the situation, landscape or
scenery where they are produced This
special exhibition will give a chance to
| interested parties to forward accurate
pictures of some Of our most extraordi,
nary vegetable curiosities The great
trees in California would naturally be
suggested. Our forests elsewhere could
have their position in the show We could
get from this state some very extraordina>
ry views of the trees Frustrated by storms
of which IN the Alleghanies there are re-
markable specimens. The cotton field
would present series Of interesting pics
tUres, from the young plant 10 the ripe
cotton flower. Tobacco, also, would ex,
hlblt It's peculiarities. SO would rice and
other cereals. Landscape views, with
forests, underground and vines, would
present an Infinite variety. There Is op-
pOrtunlty and time sufficient to forward
to Paris next year a beautiful set Of pic
lures from this country; but the difficulty
is that unless individuals 90 10 the expense
of obtaining photographs, anything like
full display cannot be expected Never>
theicss, there arc some persons who may
be inolined to add their quota to the ex-
hibition of American forest a8i agricul-
tural scenes, and to such we commend
the subject as worthy of their earnest at
tcntion.

How TO JUDGE WEATHER BY THE SKY
The following mode of judging of the
weather by the sky is from Thompson S
Coast Pilot:
The color of the sky, al particular times,
affords wonderfully good guidance. Not
only sunset prosages fair weather, but
there arc other snts which speak with
equal clea tness and accuracy. a bright
yellow sky in the evening indicates wind ;
pale yellow, wet; natural gray color
constitutes q favorable sign il the evening
and an unfavorable one in The morning
They are full of meaning III themselves
If their forms are soft, underlined and
featureIy, the weather will be fine; if the
edges are hard, sharp and definite, it viii
be foul Generally speaking, any deep
unusual hues bctoken wind and rain
while the more quiet and delicate tints
bespeak fine weather. Simple as these
maxims are, the British Board of Trade
has thought fit to publish them for the use
of sea. faring men.

What does he call that which belched forth

he call that which in South Carolina de-

IHE NEEDLE GUN-TuE SECRET DIsCov-
| ERED-A CINCINSATIAS CoNCsRNED IN THE
ENTERPRIsE.-Sincet the breaking out OF
the present European war, most persons
have read something of the Prussian
Needle gun" They have heard that the
peculiarly Of the gun is a secret prepa>
ration for ignlting the powder next the
ball, instead of at the rear of the powder,
by which the powder is all consumed and
the greatest possible force is given to the
the charge. 1t Is said, also, that only one
person Is In possession of the secret, and
he Is constantly guarded by a force of
twelve men from the regular Prussian
army, to keep him from imparting it to
others.
Many efforts have been made by Euro
pean nations TO discover the secret COM
position, but without success. Bat we
have been assured that the secret ha.
been discovered in this country. We were
called upon yesterday by Mr. George
HerEog, of this city, who informed US that
friend of his in Newark, n. j., Mr. E.
kronenberg, with whom he is pecuniarily
connected in the enterprise, has for four
years, part of the time in Europe, been
experimenting with q view to learn the
composition of the igniting material of

fact be known nc communicated with the

How to Talk to W0mens

There is good sense in the following
which we copy from Washington letter
to the New York independent, the corre-
spondent being lady
At small select party, the other eveti>
ing, learned Senator made me wonder
how old the world would be when great
men should speak to y.oIfen as if they
were sensible beings The gentleman
had been convGrsing with brother Sen>
| ator on the subject of public moment,
which interests us all, touching IS nearly
the women who love their country as the
men. Anybody with tolerable knowl-
edge OF the English language, could have
understood that conversation. AT least
the vile of the Senator stood listening
with keen interest But when the gentle
man turned to address her, he altered his
voice, he changed his manner, as with one
vast effort, he dropped to the level of small
talk. And, oh ! what do you think was
the first thing he told her? A fb, of
course. lie told her she looked charm
inc" the poor thing, standing there faded,
and laded in the pitiless gas light Then
he remarked on the weather. Then how
many receptions she had attended during
the season. Then he hadn't anything
more to say. Then he looked awfully
would be ready. The lady felt instinct
lively that the learned man supposed, as a
matter of course, that she had neither
knowledge nor interest in any subject
which could possibly interest him 1imid
aud sensitive, she did not dare to destroy
the supposition, by broaching subject
or expressing an opinion, lest this very
masculine man should change his mind
and think her strong minded and un-
feminine The lady had read much and
thought more, and felt most keenly on
every subject of public and private veal
This wise man, In showing what he sup
posed to be his superiority, showed only
how very stupid even wise man may
be. Thus, J am afraid that the world
Will be very old before men will realize
that they can talk aught but the smallest
OF small talk to women whom they meet
IN society. But, gentlemen, pray do not
make too great an effort to descend to the
level Of our comprehension. A woman
need not be formidably strong minded,
nor friShtfully literary, nor painfully
scientific, to have common sense, and to
be able to talk sensibiy on all general
subjects. Women read newspapers with
as much avidity as men; and who can
read the newspapers and remain ignorant
OF the great questions of the day? With
all our schools, the press is an ever present
educator. Thus, my dear sir, very often,
when you are making yourself ridiculous
for the special benefit of q lady, she IL
silently gauglng your comprehension, and

HARv vEsTING-ANCIENF AND MODERN
Hot weather brings no cessation of work
on Il farm, but rather an Increase of care
and anxiety. Haying and harvesting are
busy periods, both indoors and out The
uncertainty attending the getting in OF
hay or the securing of grain, especially
if the weather be catching, makes the
season one Of particular sollcitude. BE.
fore the almost musical ring Of machinery
this time was one of the most anxious
eras OF the year for the farmer, since in
the harvest of his crops he gathers the
result Of all his planning and foresight
The longer time required to secure hay or
grain by mere manual labor, of course
exposed it more to the cXigencics of the
weather; now, with machinery, the busi-
ness is dispatched more speedily and thor
oughly than it could possibly be done be
fore, and lessons greatly the outdoor as
we'll as the household labor. Making hay
lacks all the poetic interest with which
to the locker ont was formerly IN
vested. No moro musical whettIng OF
scythes, or the graceful, steady strokes OF
the mower, who laid PROSTATE a phalanS
of tall grass at every sweep of his blade.
Now, instead, Il man, or even only boy,
rattlcs round the field for little while on
his chariot, and the grass is down; and in
a few hours the boy and horse 60 over the
same ground, and the revolving rake soon
has the grass in wInnOws; thus the pas
toral train Of ruatic maIdens, who have
been considered by rural poets as indis~
peusable at this stage, are done away with
The work of harvesting has need of some
sentiment to beguile the hard labor which
it brings to everybody concerned. Nc

was made a regular jubilee, and that the
laborers sung and danced ut the prospect
