Steam Flows.

One of the most remarkable features of
the annual show of the English Agricul-
tural Society at Bury last July,was the il
lustration given Of the economical appli-
cation of steam power to light land cult
walton. By means of two engines, one at
either end Of the cultivated field, two tools
are worked at once; and when the widest
tools were used-Fowler drags 13-tine
cultivator which takes a width of four
yards at once-the cultivation was accom-
plished at the rate of fifty acres in day.
1t seems plain that on light land farms
as well as clays, whenever the area has
been properly laid out for steam cultiva-
ton, there need in future be no more
horse power provided and kept through
out the year than will suffice for the har-
vesting and marketing of the crops in
fact, for all the work Of carriage With
Fowler's or Towards double engines, each
with double drum working two tools sim
there is no reason why a
square OF twenty acres, or even more of
land which bad been plowed by steam
power before Winter, should not be
grubbed or cultivated, and receive thor
ough narrowing all at once in single day
in Spring, or why thorough following
after Winters frost upon the Autumn til
lage of stiff clays should not be thus ac-
complished at blow.-Qud1terly Journal
Of agriculture (E3sgLand).

Newspaper Power.

Thirty years ago, says Wilks' Spirit, the
orators ruled America; to-day it is ruled
by editors 1t adds.
There is a class of men among bankers
and merchants and lawyers, who affect a
condescension among thejournalists which
is intensely amusing The writer for the
newspaper appears to their blinking eyes
kind of literary adventurer, who is to be
tolerated for his genius, but not to be trust
ed in business They are ignorant that it
sells their goods, furnishes all their facts,
and presents them gratuitOusly with their
opinions. They do not know, as Jay Cooke
does, that the newspaper of America sold
two thousand millions of national bonds.
They do not know, as Edwin NJ. Stanton
knows, that the newspapers sent five hun
bred thousand men to the war They do
not know that the newspapers Of America
will nominate the Presidency, determine
the election, dictate the legislation of
Congress and decide all important ques-
tions.--Newspapers lead them by the nose
where ever they go; but they do not feel
the pressure, which is the reason why we
give this special tweak."

KENOSHA, WISCONSIN, THURSDAY JUNE IS, 1868.
A London Street Singer.

Some years ago mysterious paragraph
went the round of the press to the effect
that young and beautiful woman made
her appearance every night at 10 o'clock
IN one of the West End squares and that
latter superb vocal display she disappear
ed, no one knew how or where, exactly as
the clock struck eleven. The Sunday
Times professed to give special and exclu-
sive particulars of this anonymous night
mgale as she was termed and even went
so far as to hint broadly that she was "a
celebrated vocalist married to a penniless
lord, who took this novel mode of enlarg-
ing an insufficient income Of course this
piece of family history proved to be an
invention | had the good fortune to hear
her once in Berkeley Square. Seeing a
large crowd waiting in an expectant atti-
tude Just where fashionable hotel is To-
Gated, / inquired the cause, and was told
that the mysterious vocalist, the nightin-
gale, was about to show herself As the
clock struck ten, lady dressed in deep
mourning, and having the upper part of
her face concealed by thick black veil,
glided forward and took her place in the
center of space purposely kept clear for
her. | decided from noticing the beauti-
full formation of the mouth and chin, and
the finely rounded fair throat, that she
must be both young and more than COM
monty attractive. She was accompanied
by little bOy,also in deep mourning, who
carried an open reticule Without delay,
the nightingale commenced ballad and
sang with such surprising taste and feel
ing as to hold the miscellaneous crowd in
mute and rapt attention. The song was
by several favorite scenes from
popular operas, all exhibiting the talent
and culture of an accomplished artist A
collection was made few gave coppers-
all who could afford it gave silver. The
little boy sent in his bag to the hotel, the
balcony OF which was crowded with visi-
tors,and it was returned apparently heavy
with precious coin. The snm total must
have been considerable, and this was in
formed was the usual reward of the hours
work. When eleven struck, the unknown
stopped her song, made a slight curtesy,
and threaded her way quickly through the
crowd. Her real history | afterward
learned was pitiful one She was the
daughter Of a celebrated teacher of mu-
sic and had been educated for the stage :;
she married, against the wishes of her pa
rents, a clerk in a post-office, who, being
detected in the then objectionable sin Of
forged bank note,w tried con
yicted and hanged With three little
helpless iufants and no means of earning
a sufficient income, the bereaved young
widow adopted the plan Of making her
fine voice and scientific attachments fur
nish the means of subsistence The close
of this story ismore hopeful. Her beauty,
and accomplishments attract
ed the attention of a clergyman in one of
Che eastern counties. He married her, and
she disappeared forever from public view

Three Thousand Years Ago.

The oldest relic of humanity extant is
the skeleton of one of the earlier Pharohs,
encased in its original burial robes, and
wonderfully perfect, considering its age
which was deposited about eighteen or
twenty months ago in the British Museum,
and it is justly considered the most yalu-
able Of its archaeological treasures. The
lid Of the coffin which contained the royal
mummy was inscribed with the name of
its occupant. Pharaoh Mykerimus, who
succeeded the heir of the builder of the
great pyramid, ten centuries before Christ
Only think of it, the monarch, whose crum-
bling bones and leamery integuments are
now exciting the wonder of numerous
gazers in London, reigned in Egypt before
solomon was born and only about eleven
centuries or so after Mizraim, the grand
son of old father Noah and the first of the
Pharaohs, had been gathered to his fathers
Why. the tide-mark of the deluge could
scarcely have been obliterated or the
gopher wood knee-timbers Of the ark have
rotted on Mount Ararat when this man of
the early world lived moved, and had his
being! His bones and shrivelled skin are
contemporary with the nineteenth century
and the date of the crucihxion is
only about midway between his era and
ours.

A recent yisitorat Jerusalem gives some
of his impressions of that city as follows :
1t is cavernous disagreeable damp, des-
olate, and very uninteresting. 1t abounds
i'll caves and cisterns, acqueducts and
tombs. Creeping into little fox-hole
just outside the Damascus gate, we wan
dered for hours through through spacious
and lofty caverns undermining half the
.city-the ancient quarries discovered by
DR.. Barclay. In Warren's recent excava-
tions we CROPPED through arches and COW
cred ways Of Herodian time, down to the
original rock of SOlomon's foundations
You are struck with the incongruity of
new and costly modern buildings rising
from the rubbish and decay of the old
city, and of no use, except for the pilgrims
of all Christendom who watch with
jealous care their respective rights in the
Holy City, and are kept from biting and
devouring one another by the sabre Of the
Turks. There are great empty places of
desolation within the wallis Just inside
the Drug gate saw Jerusalem plowed as
a field, and got lost in the great cactus
wilderness of the Tyropean valley, just
where that magnificent causeway of Dr.
Robinson's arch once connected Mount
Zion with the Temple Stumbling over
dead dogs and garbage up the steep of
Zion, was run at by a COW who was just
about tossing me on her horns when the
herdsman came to my defense And then
going out of Zion gate l had to run the
gauntlet of the lepers who there do con-
gregate, whining horribly and stretching
out their shapeless stumps.

Newspapers in Rome,
ON a Letter to the Boston Journal.

From Letter to the Boston Journal.
The American who soiourns in the
eternal City" must content himself with
very meagre news from home, save what
he may learn from his own correspondence.
The Atlantic cable does not extend its
usefulness into the States of the Church.
There is but one daily publication of any
sort here, that very obscure Italian print
of the size Of the smallest of our country
weeklies. It's editor is devout Catholic,
and the fimsy sheet is the organ of the
Papal Government. 1t is three days since
the final vote upon impeachment was to
be taken, and still the momentous news
has not reached Rome Even if dispatch
es have been received, they may have been
OF such nature as require suppression by
the Holy See, as most news is, that favors
the cause of progress and reform. Had
an event Of such great Importance to the
civilized world occurred in the most re-
mote country of Europe, its details would
have been read at every breakfast table
in America on the following morning.
But far different here. A city of two hun
dred thousand inhabitants with one soli-
tary, weak newspaper, is a thing to be
at in the nineteenth century.
But newspapers do not thrive where there
is no freedom of speech. One issue of
sterling, fearless print, might precipitate
the avalanche that hangs over Rome. So
the people are dwelling in ignorance and
listening passively to the drivelings of the
bigoted monks, from whose lips they get
all the information which is considered
good for them to know.

Would Judge Chase Divide the Negro
Vote.
NUMBER 4.

Mr. Harris, the Eloquent North Caro-
lima negro orator, said on this poinl, in his
Faneuil Hall speech:
Now we are told that If the Democratic
party nominate certain candidates there is
fear among some that they will divide the
colored vote. Now, my friends let me as
sure you in the name of II 900 colored vo-
tiers in North Carolina, and l think can
also assure you in the name of the 100000
colored voters in the South, no candidate
that the Democratic party might reach
down and bring up [laughterl; no candid
ate that the Democratic party might reach
up and drag down; no man who breaths
the free atmosphere of heaven who would
accept the nomination at the hands of the
Democratic party, no such man man could
obtain the support of the black people of
the South. Loud applausel. AS have
said before, on another occasion, if the
Democratic party were to nominate an
angel we would not vote for him, in that
the very fact of his accepting nomina-
ton of the Democratic party would be ev-
idence of his being fallenangel Laugh
teri And, in my opinion, he would have
fallen very low when he shall first rest on
a Copperhead platform. Renewed APP

as in England, and would be productive

Spectator ii very great advantage over

upon these occasions to dispose of the

Salary of the Clergy in New York.

"Those who serve at the alter shall live
by the alter, says Saint Paul But the good
saint had probably not the faintest idea
how well his successors would manage to
live in this way. 1t is stated that the Rev
J. A. d. Wingfield, Of Petersburg, Va has
been called to the Church of the Holy
Savior on Twenty-ffth street, at salary
Of $4,000 The call is loud enough, and
the reverend gentleman must be unusually
deaf if he does not hear it at that figure
DR.. Potter, nephew ofthe Bishop of New
York lately accepted the care of the souls
of those who attend Grace Church for the
consideration of $4,000 year and a small
white marble palace ON Broadway. Dr.
Hall, of the Presbyterian Church, corner
of Nineteenth street and Fifth avenue,
has come all the way from Dublin to feed
the flock that worships there, which he
consents to do for the modest pittance of
$4,000 year in gold and hansome par
sonage. The Doctor has the old country
notions about currency; he doesn't under
stand greenbacks, but prefers his pay in
solid metal. DR.. Morgan Dix, of Trinity,
receives $4,000, and house; while the
more popular preachers go up to a much
higher figure, DR.. Chaplin receiving not
less than from fifteen to twenty thousand
in salary, and the results of outside liter
airy work; while Henry Ward Beecher's
income reaches from twenty to thirty thous-
and from like sources.

i BEAUTIFUL STREAM.-The Silver
Spring creek, near Ocala, Florida, has
waters clear as crystal that delude the
senses, and we have leaned over the side
of boat to pick up twig at the bottom,
which is seemingly only few inches from
us, but which in reality is twelve or four
teen feet away. This creek is very deep,
and in some places the plummet has sunk
I150 feet without touching bottom. If the
center OF the basin should be left for a
time motionless, then it seems to the senses
as if we were resting on the still air. The
MONDAY sun and the peculiar qualities Of
the water produce at the lowest depths
the pristine colors of the rainbow, which
seem to gambol on masses of FURNISHED
silver, the whole resembling a transforma-
ton scene in some gaudy spectacular
drama The tablets away below, looking
like masses of white limestone, perhaps
the coral rocks to which Florida owes its
origin. Here debouches, from deep
lbyss, large subterranean river, from
where coming none can tell. Luxuriant
and perpetual verdure covers the shallow
around the spring, and seems to glide
about rather by mere volition than by any
other effort. What would have been said
and believed of the beauties and wonders
of this spring fit had only but once been
seen by few Greeks or Romans in the
palmy days of their old mythologies? The
river is only twenty-five miles from the
shores Of the Atlantic
