Mr.. Bourne, Of her Majesty's
customs, has patented very SIM
pie contrivance, which efectually
preserves the original character Of
any liquid to which it is applied.
It is a contrivance for the entire
exclusion Of the atmosphere, the
injurious action of which upon
sensitive drinks as wines is we'll
known to every one. Mr.. Bourne's
invention is diaphragm, or thin
membrane, made of material or
composition very like india rub
Der. It is fixed inside the vessel
be it cask, or earthenware or glass
reservoir-and is so loose that
when the vessel is full it lines the
upper half: AS the liquid is drawn
off, this thin covering descepds on
the surface, and follows it closely
to the last drop, effectually ex-
Guiding the slightest trace of air.

Young Men on the Farm.

The Southern Planter" COL
lects some statistics showing that
there are about nine million acres
OF improved and eleven million
acres Of unimprovcd lands in the
State Of Virginia !. and that there
are a little more than one hun
dred thousand male laborers-
that is between the, age Of twelve
and sixty. years. Hence. there is
only one laborer to. about eighty
eight acres of improved and ara
! bic landin the State The def
cheney Of labor, as compared, with
needs Of the agriculturists, is enor-
nous Where says the PLANTER, -
shall we fnd the remedy .?
SIT is:plainly the duty Of our
young men to meet their pressing
exigeney. They constitute the
only remaining resource for the
immediate supply of any conside=
rable anaoa at of labor. Let them
strip themselves for. the conflict ;
let them "roH up their. sleeves, u
and. ."girdup their loins,'' for the
noble wosk:.of resascitating Viz

labor with the same. selfdenial
and indomita be. courage and per-
severance with which they went
forth to meet her .assailants. in the
stern conflicts of the battlefield,
and the work will soon be accom-
n,ished> The openings, for. the
,employment7of eur young men in
their accustomed occupations: are
all filled to. repletion, and there
yet remains a large number with
out employment. 70 continue in
Ieness-demoralizing and ener-
waiting idleness- is a thing to be
abhorred by every ingenious,

prosperity of the State. But no
such humiliation awaits ouryoung
men, They viii rather centri:

A horrible suicide is reported
from Lerida, in Spain. A few days
ago, a man was brought into the
hospital Of that place in a dread
ful State of mutilation. Itappear-

in his room, ripped himself open
with a knife, and tore out his in

He lived until the following day.

An Austrian chemist, M. Lem
elbrock, has discovered a way of
enclosing electricity in small glass
capsules, which will explode under
the influence of the slightest shock.
The capsule is inclosed in a steel
cone, so that if shot from a rifle
it will enter the flesh, and the
explosion which follows is suff-
cient to kill a man, Experiments
have been made on oxen and
horses with perfect success, these
animals having fallen down as if
struck with lightning.

A New Southern Staple.

A new plant has been added to
the resources Of our tropical and
semi-tropiea regions-a new tex
tile, which will furnish the world
with clothing and the means Of
knowledge: We have seen, with
in a few days, long skeins Of a cot
ton-like fibre, cotton-like in white
ness, softness and, fneness, but
much stronger,rwhich is now pro-
duced at the rate Of FIVE crops per
year, in the State, Of Vera Cruz,
Mexico, where it has been eulti-
waited for FIVE years by a Belgian
naturalist and bofanist, who went
there to pursue his favorite. studies
and occupations in soil and: eli
mate which favor them.
This plant, called the ramie, is a
native of. Java. was introduced
thence into the Jardin des Plantes,
at Paris, by some French savan,
in 1874; was regarded then as
simply exhibiting the wonderful
advantages of the tropics, being
too delicateferfopen air culture in
cold climates. But having been
planted and tried in warmer eli
mates than that of France, yet not
so equatorial as that of Java, it
has, been found to do, as well in
them
I. It is due. to Mr.. Bonita Roezl,
chief Of the horticultural Institute
of Belgium, now Of rSantocom-
,spram, San Andres Tustla, State
Of Vera Cruz, Me&ieo, that we can
now pronounce it a naturalized
plant Of this continent, and to his
present visit to this city will speed
fly owe it's introduction into the
field culture of the Gulf States, to
T which it will permanently pertain.
The ramie .(its. JaEanese aname)
is a plant like hemp contains in
its stalk the fibre for whieh=it is
raised, and which is, grown like
|. the -sugar-cane, from being plant
ed in lengths or from its stubblet;
with this advantage over the stub
bic of the cane ethat. each succeed
ing year it grows better, and that
in Cuba and lower Mexico it will
furnish five; and. here at least, three
Cuttings q year. = 49,
By q new process and some
simple machinery invented by MIR.
I.S., the lint cansbe prepared from
the stalks, taken fresh from the
ground, in twenty-faur hours. We
all. know that months of labor and
the entire discoloring of the fibre
follows the, treatment by the Or
dinary process. Of fax ane hemp,
while the ranie comes out white,
clean, pure and Hnhurt. So
Eight hundred pounds of lint to
the acre is to be- expected from
each cutting Of full growth, in,tair
land... Fhe culture is. similar to
that of cane ;%but> as the plant,
when once set, is hard to eradicate,
grows vigorously, and defes the
influence of grass or rival, plants,
cultivation is only needed to pro
mote its. growth. When ripe, it
should be cut; but neglect to do
this causes no special damage, SO
that it, may wait days or weeks
the viii ofthe free republicans, of
Mexico and the Union: The fibre
is1ong, fine, and strong; the plant
easy to rise, and hardy in asouth- a
sern latitude its preparation for
markets. simple and cheap in cost.
Under these circumstances. swe
may safely pronounce that it will
at an early day take high rank
among our staples.-N, O. Pica-
