GENERAL. FRANK P. BLAIR.-General
Blair spent yesterday at Silver Spring, on
a visit TO his parents, and passed through
this city last evening on his way to Bed
ford, Pa, where he speaks to-day. General
Blair is fresh from the canvass in Ohio,
Indiana, and Pennsylvania, of which he
gives the most gratifying accounts. The
enthusiasm, energy, and determination Of
the Democracy are aroused to the very
highest pitch, while their opponents, con-
scious, many of them, in their hearts, that
the policy Of their Congress has been harsh,
cruel, and violent, have little heart in a
cause which proposes to continue this poll.
cv. From these aud other reasons General
Blair entertains the strongest confidence of
brilliant victory for the Conservatives.
The General looks well, and will probably
continue to address the people during the
remainder Of the canvass.-Nati0ndl Intel

RUST IN WHEAT.-The inquiry into the
nature and causes of the red rust by the
commission appointed for the purpose by
the Governor Of South Australia has elicit
ed vast fund of information from the col
lected report Of eight hundred agriculturists
and although the statements are in many
respects very contradictory, the committee
was enabled from them to obtain general
results, which, while they showed the fall
lacy of the opinions advanced, established
the fact that no condition Of soil OF climate
is free from its ravages, nor will any pre-
cautions taken by the farmer prevent these
The rust-spores," says DR.. Muecke, stare
located and spread over the whole world
neither ocean nor mountain will stop them.
They do not commence TO grow and multi
ply until they meet the circumstances favor
able TO their existence and nourishment"
The following statement is given in the re-
port as the evidence collected by member
of the Legislative Council
The red rust is caused-First, by the ex-
haustion Of the soil +; second, by late sowing
third, by manuring; fourth, white straw is
the best. Red rust also preyails-First, on
newly -cultivated lands; second, by early
sowing; third, manure prevented fourth,
purple straw is the best.
Such are the contrary opinions-doubt-
less all adopted from observation and expe-
rience, but only proving that other intu-
ences than those adduced have operated,
and will constantly operate, to neutralize
general theories on this and many other
subjects of natural history, more especially
those relating to endemic and epidemic dis
eases in either the animal or vegetable
economy. There is not doubt that eli
matte conditions have the greatest share in
the production of the red rust.
A remarkable case in proof of this theory
is stated. Part of field of wheat in
which wild oats had prevented the wheat
from growing was cut for hay. 1mmedi-
ately the wheat sprung up healthy and
vigorous, and developed full ears and full
grown grains not particle of rust was
perceptible on these parts OF the field,
whilst the surrounding thick and high
wheat was completely covered with it. The
cause assigned is that the wheat, in the one
instance, did not grow till the time was
passed in which the influences supervened
that predisposed the plants, consequently
they became strong and healthy. While
the red rust spores passed over them, they
we're not infected, because the spores did
not find the conditions of their existence
that is, diseased sap and weak cells-upon
them. This is clear enough, because, sur
rounded as these mown spots must have
been by the wheat on which the rust pre-
vailed, the former could not have escaped
if the same conditions had prevailed in
them as in the other.-Mark Lane Err

ATMOSPHERIC RAILWAY BREAKs.-A new
atmospheric break for railways, invented
W Charles Kendall, has been successfully
,ried in England. 1t acts as q simulta-
acous as well as instantaneous break upon
Ill the wheels of the train. Its great ad-
santiago is that the driver and guard have
it equally under command, 30 that if the
first should perceive imminent danger
ahead, he can apply the break him self in
,tead of losing time by signaling. A part
If the contrivance consists of means OF
communication between driver and guard
"unning through all the carriages, SO as to
&c accessible also to passengers.
The first stop was made on an incline of
me in one hundred while the train was
going thirty-fye miles an hour, and the
pace in which the enginedriver managed
o pull up was three hundred and twenty
three yards. The second stop was on a
evel, when the progress of the train al
Forty miles an hour was checked and
brought to a stand-still in two hundred and
wcnty yards. In the third trial the en-
,ine-driver's practice began to tell, as he
succeeded in stopping within two hundred
Yards, the speed then being ffty-ive miles
m hour, and the place an incline Of one in
one hundred.

LOOK Orr FOR ester
day a very skilful counterfeit ten-dol!ar
note on the Third National Bank Of Phila-
delphia was passed upon a merchant Of
Baltimore, and it is probable that similar
couutcrfei,s were simultaneously put in
circulation in this city. The vignettes and
whole face Of the note are ,fHc Si1njle Of the
genuine note, and therefore difficult of de-
lection. The engraving Of the back of the
note, however, is rather defective-not so
COOL as in the genuine. This note is of the
series marked Il, and is so well done as to
defy ordinary scrutiny, except by the
coarse appearance Of the engraving on its
back. our citizens should be on the look

SAGACITY OF A HoRsE.-An old family
horse that has been running at will through
the streets and commons lost one Of his
shoes yesterday, and with the intelligence
Of human being, the old horse walked up
to the blacksmith shop where he had been
shod for the last twenty years, and to the
best Of his ability asked the smith to shoe
him, by raising his foot and stamping the
ground. The smith being busy, drove him
away several times during yesterday, and
thought nothing of it. This morning on
going to the shop he found the old horse at
the door. Again he drove him off; but the
horse came back, and entering the shop,
he walked up to the anvil, and there raised
his foot thus attracting the particular notice
of the smith, who examined the foot, and
finding it worn off to the "quick," kindly
picked up an old horseshoe, and fitting it
TO his foot, nailed it on ; when the grateful
animal, friskiug his tail by way of thanks,
trotted off contentedly.-MadiSon (Ohio)

occasionally puzzled whether to write ei or

schoolmaster, removes all difficulty. When
the diphthong follows c, i! is always ei-ceil-
ing, conceive, &C.. when it follows any other
letter it is always ie-grief, friend, niece,
&c Exchange.
Not so, Mr.. Schoolmaster the rule won't
work. What do you say to such words as
weight, height, deign, seine, heinous, heir,
&C., &c.-CharleSton Courier.
That not one of them has the sound Of
long in it. The rule, however, does not
invariably hold good. The sound of "s'
precedes ei, whether C or s be the letter ;

exceptions.
