Among the astounding discoveries of
science, is that Of the immense peri
DDS that have passed in the gradual for
nation OF the earth. So vast were the
cycles Of time preceding even the APP
pearanee Of man on the surface Of our
globe, that our own period seems as
yesterday when compared with the
epochs thyt have gone before it. Had
we only the evidence Of the deposits Of
rocks heaped upon each other in regu-
lar strata by the slow aceummplatiou Of
materials, they alone would convince
us Of the long and slow maturing OF
Gods work on earth; but when we add
to these the successive population OF
whose life the world has been the thea
tire, and whose remains are hidden in
the rocks into which the mud, or sand,
or soil Of whatever kind, on which they
lived, has hardened in the course OF
time the enormous chains OF noun
tains whose upheayal divided these pc
RODS OF quiet accumulation by great
conyulsions--or the changes OF adiffer
ent nature in the confgurations of our
globe, as the sinking OF lands beneath
the ocean, or the gradual rising of CON
tinents and islands above--or the slow
growth OF the coral reefs, those won
derful sea walks, raised by the little
ocean architects, whose own bodies fur
nish both the building stones and the
cement that binds them together, and
who have worked SO busily during the
long centuries, that there are existing
countries, mountain chains, islands, and
long lines Of coast, consisting solely Of
their remains or the countless forests
that have grown up fourised and de-
cayed, to fiji the storehouses of coal
that feed the fires OF the human race
if we consider all these records Of the
past, the intellect fails to grasp ohro-
nology Of which our experience furnish
es no data, and time that lies behind
as seems as much an eternity to our
conception, as the future that stretches
indefinitely before us.--Agdssiz.

II is related that Chinese merchant,
having beon convicted d numbering his
wife, the judges determined to punish
him in such q manner as to inflict the
utmost amount Of suffering and, at the
same time, strike terror into tho hearts
Of all those who might entertain the
idea Of following his example He was
accordingly condemned to die by being
deprived OF sleep. The prisoner was
placed in confinement, under the care
of three Of the police guard, who reliey-
ed each other every alternate hour, and
we're instructed to supply him with
full allowance of food and drink, but to
prevent him from falling asleep. At
first the condemned man congratulated
himself on the midness Of his punish
ment, and was rather disposed to re-
gard the whole matter as a joke The
excitement OF his situation tended to
keep him awake, and for a day or so his
guards had little to do. BY the third
day, however he began TO feel very un-
comfortable. His eyes we're red, his
mouth parched his skin dry and hot,
and his head ached These symptoms
continued to increase in intensity, and
at the commencement Of the eighth day
his sufferings were so acut {, that be was
at times delirious. In his moments OF
reason he begged the authorities to put
an end to his torture He implored
them TO grant him the blessed opportu
uity Of being strangled, guillotined,
burned to death. drowned, garroted

powder, cut into small pieces, or killed

or ferocity might suggest Al was in

which be could not have slept even if
le. alone. THE brain was feeding on
de products o. rs own disintegration,
and sleep was impossible He was pow
entirely insane Illusions Of his sight
aud hearing were almost constant, and
erron eous fancies flied his thoughts.
At one moment be fought his guards
with the fury oi & maniac; at the next
he covered gith terror before some in-

Pacific Railroad.

The plan for Pacific railroad lines agreed
upon recently by the Senate Committee pro-
vides for Northern Pacific i1iirod and an
Atlantic and Pacific railroad, the latter ex-
tending from Little Rock, on the thirty fifth
degree oflatitude to the Southern border of
California, there to join the Southern Pacific
railroad line as established By California
charter to San Francisco. The billwill pro-
vide for branch from Portland, Oregon,
southwest TO a connection with the main
trunk line of the Union Pacific railroad on
Humboldt river; these companies to issue
bonds, respectively, as twenty mile sections
may he completed, to the amount of thirty
Thousand dollars per mile, bearing six per
cent interest, payable in greenbacks, running
thirty years. To secure payment of interest
by these companies, all dues from the -elo~s
crnment to them for transportation are re-
tained, and the title to public lands to re-
main in the Government until the latter
shall offer them for sale in the usual manner
Each company is required to pay into the
Treasury ten per cent of the gross receipts
as further security for the payment of inter
est. The branch road from the Northern
Pacific to Portland is excluded from the
above aid, as is also the eastern division in
Kansas The preparation of the bill is COM
mitted to Senator Harlan, who expects to

y"TEACH THE WOMEN TO SAVE There's
the secret. A saving woman at the head of
a family is the very best savings bank ever
yet established-o that receives deposit
daily and hourly, with no costly machinery
to manage it. The idea of saving is pleas
!. ant one, and if '"the women" would but i'm
bibe it once, they would cultivate and ad-
here to it; and thus many, when they are not
aware OF it, would be laying the foundation
for IL competence, security in stormy time,
and shelter in rainy day. The woman
who sees TO her own house, has large field
to save in; and the best way to make her
comprehend it, is for her to keep an account
current OF expenses. Probably not one wife
in ten has an idea of how much are the ey-
penditures of herself or family. Where from
one to two thousand dollars are expended
annually, there is a chance to save some
thing, if the attempt is only made. Let the
house wife take the idea, act upon it, and
strive over it, and she will save many dol
lars. perhaps hundreds, where before she
thought it impossible. This is ,luty, not
a prompting of avarice-a moral Obligation
that rests upon all-upon ''the women" as
well as the men; but it is duty, we are sor-
ry to say, that is cultivated very little, even
among those who preach the most, and re-
gard themselves as examples in most mat
ters "Teach the women to save" is good
enough maxim to be inserted in the next
edition of Poor Richards Almanac.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURAL.-Th
Commissioner of Agriculture is overwhelm-
ed with applications from all sections of the
country for seeds, vines, plants, &C., the re-
suit ofan erroneousim preston that the former
system of general and miscellaneous distr-
button Of common garden seeds would be
continued. 1t would be well for the public
to be correctly informed upon this subject
at once. Owing to the very small sum of
money appropriated by the last Congress
'for the purchase and distribution of seeds,
cereals" Sc, (being less than one:ftth of the
amount appropriated by the preceding Con-
gress,) it will be impossible to make any
general distribution as heretofore. The very
limited amount of seeds purchased has been
selected in Europe with special care as to
new variety and superior quality, and will
be distributed through members of Congress-,
State and county agricultural organizations
and monthly statistical correspondents of
the department, and not through miscella-
neous and unknown channels. 1t is there
fore useless to apply Individually to the
department.

We. have;obserted by the North Carolina
papers that Col. ]. W. Forney, of Pennsyl-'
yyania is making tour in that region, for
the purpose of inducing the settlement of
Northern capital in that State. Col. Forney's
letters, as published, have been full of infor-
nation, and we hope they will excite atten-
tion. Nothing can he better for Southern
people than the enterprise of such men as
Col. Forney. We are glad to find that he
has been welcomed. The South will never
prosper until its people learn to forget that
any conner among them belongs to the East,
or the North, or the West. They must
regard him as an American, and make him
feel that he Is as much at home in North
Carolina as he would he in Pennsylvania.
This seems to have been Col. Forney's expe-
rience., and we are glad of it. We think his
example will be largely followed. N y

PEANUTs.-Southern Virginia and upper

of peanuts for the. Tinted States, Fifty
bushels to the acre are easily raised, and find
/. a ready market at $3.50 per bushel. They

peanuts, were converted into oil for lamps in
