said, is to be made seaport, in pursu-
ance Of an intention long cherished by
the French Emperor. The plan, as we
bee it,stated, is to construct saltwater
canal from Dieppe of sufficient capacity
for the largest vessels-the water to be
contributed by the sea, and kept atpro-
per levels by locks and food. gates. A
largo basin will constitute the entrance
to the canal, which will be about l16
miles in length. The natural facilities of
the route which has been selected will
allow ships of the largest class to 60
safely under all but two bridges, by
merely striking their gallant-masts.
The plans for this great work are said to
be in course Of preparation in the impe-
rial palace. under the Emperor's imme.
diate supervision. Immense results are
anticipated from the bringing OF Paris
into direct communication with the sea.
2aoaREss. The world has been NOV
ing rapidly of late. The Pacific Rail
road is complete; the Suez Canal is fast
approaching completion; the immense
tunnel under the Alps is making rapid
progress; q line of submarine telegraph
will, within few weeks, be established
between France and the United States;
nm American company has been got up to
connect by telegraph all the chief cities
of China; ship canal is in contempla-
tion across the Isthmus of Darien, by
means of which vessels can pass back
ward and forward between the Atlantic
and the Pacific; and, last in date, though
by no means least in Importance, pro-
position is under consideration to sever
the Isssimus of Corinth. This isthmus
unites the Morea with Attica between
the Cults of Corinth and Egina. 1t is
narrow. and its severance would not be
difficult work. When completed, it
would facilitate trade and travel to and
in the South of Europe, European Tur-
key and the adjacent countries; and the
King OF Greece is urging the enterprise
with great earnestness upon the legisla-
tive chambers of his kingdom.

PLEASANT SUMNER READING. -"Calla-
mura" is the name of very pleasantly
written novel, by lady of Louisiana,
who, in addition to the power of writing
both elegantly and pleasantly, does SO
under the pleasant nom de plume of Julia
Pleasants-a name which she pleasantly
suits, and which pleasantly suits her.
'Tis, altogether, a pleasant work; and
not only that, but it exhibits so much
high cultivation, mingled with such per-
tinent illusions, and such happy elegance
and grace of style, that it secures for the
fair authoress, at once, front place in
the ranks of our best writers. Many of
us, doubtless, have seen the humorous
distich
oh, 'tis Heaven on earth, cries Gray,
To read novels on a rainy day."
1t certainly is an agreeable pastime, in
these melting, fervid days, to get into
some cozily pleasant, breezy and shady
spot, and to read such a novel rs "Calla-
mura" is. The authoress has so inter
woven her figures of learning with
figures Of fancy, and her figures Of cha
racter with figures of Southern roses,
and flowers, and flowerets, that, without
being n tale too howery, but just enough
SO, her book seems, in places, to exhale
from its graceful pages the fragrancy of
the sweet South's sweet floral odors.
She paints her characters and scenes
like one-"to the manor born"-entirely
at homo with her subject. 1t is said, we
understand, that she is related and con-
neoted with families of the highest re-
spectability in Virginia, Tennessee, Ala
bama, South Carolina, Louisiana, and
elsewhere. We thank her for "Calla-
mura," and predict for her brilliant
career as q novelist. The work is from
the press of Messrs. Claxton, Remsen Il
Hafielfnger, Philadelphia Messrs. Dulfie
& Chapman have the volume for sale.

1t will be seen by reference to the card
of Mr.. William Wright, that the Nicker-
son Hotel has acquired new lease on
life. The advertisement of the Trustees
of the Female College, which appeared
in these columns few months back, for
lease or rent OF the building. was simply
formal observance of an annual custom,
Mr.. Wright when taking charge of the
hotel having obtained the preference and
refusal Of the hotel. It is the design of
the proprietor, before the fall to tho
roughly renovate and improve his hotel.
TO add to it such convenierces and ar
rangements as will consult the pleasure,
and contribute to the comfort OF his
guests. The situation of this hotel is in
one of the most delightful quarters of
the city; the table is good, the attendance
prompt, tho oflicials polite and courteous.
There is in the Nickerson House every
feature to recommend it to the public,
and Mr.. Wright has our cordial wishes
for the prosperity Of his house.

puHshtd, before peace can be fully established
ana TIE reservation system made q success; but
this Kind, with the strong hope IN At the savages may
fete down on their reservation and adopt more
peaceful and civilized life.
The Indians have run riot along the lines OF our
Western settlements and the emigrant and COM
merca lines OF travel for many years rdering and
plunderng without any adequate punishment and
the Government has hitherto sought to give pro-
lection to some OF s best interests by making pre-
sents 10 these savages; Or in other words, while IL
found II necessary to enact he most stringent laws
Tor the government uf civilized whites. it was at
tempting to govern a wild, brutal, and savage people
without any laws at all, 'r the innicton OF any
punishment for the most henous crimes. This sys-
TEN was not success. II q white man commits
murder or robs we hang hlin or send him to the
penitentary. II an Indian does the sa ne, we have
been I'm the habit Of giving him more blankets.
The Indian is a lazy. idle VagAbond he never
]aOOrs, and has no profession except that OF arms,
TO which he is raised from a child a scalp is con-
stanly danged before hts eyes and the highest honor
he can aspire to is TO possess taken Oy himself
II is not to be wondered at therefore, II he aims for
the honor when he grows up, especially II there is
no punishment to follow the barbirous act
The Government has always been very liberal to
reservations; the lands allotted to them have been
OF the very best character, making them, perhaps,
by far the richest communities IN the country
The system OF supplying the wild bands under the
present management is working well; the Indian
gets all that the Government intends him to have;
he cannot now plead bad fath; and If he does not
now give up his cruel and destructive habits, see
other way to save the lives and property OF our
people than to punish him until peace becomes

The Best BroOds of Cattle for n
 Farm,

The question of which breed of cattle is the most profitable on farm will de- pend on where the farm is located, and the purposes of the farmer to supply particular market. whether milk, butter or chees dairy whether for raising stock for working oxen and feeding for the butcher These different purposes require different breeds of stock
 Within convenient distance of Town or City the m,lk business will yield the most money, clear profit The but ter business (fresh in pound, or half pound lumps) next. Cheese and frkin butter can be made at greater distance from market, and brought in any time For these purposes we recommend the Alderney and Ayrshires as real milk producing machines converting all the milk producing food they are able to di- gest, into the lacteal element It is impossible to fatten them without first drying them up, and this is no easy mat ter. Their milk, too, is of the richest quality for either cream, butter or cheese
 In some sections of the country where the farms are large and stock raising and feeding is made business, the short horn Durham and the Deyonshire will be the most profitable. For taking on fat and wieght of carcass, 10 other breed can compare with tue short horn, either pure blood or grades.
 For working oxen, the Devons are superior on account of their actiyity--they are good feeders
 We would by no means underrate the Devons and Short Horns as milkers. Many of both breeds, as well as their crosses, prove to be excellent milkers but we still adhere to the foregoing opinion that the Attorneys and Ayrshires are their superiors in manufacturing milk out of given amount of food Somc ofour most discriminating dairymen differ in opinion as to which of these two breeds are the best milkers; on this &C., count we have chased them together but our preference, based on our own jadg- ment is in favor of the Attorneys.
 The Cream Pots" are an American production. not known in Europe, and confined to one locality here. The principal credit of producing this stock by judicious crossings, is generally accorded to Col. Jaques, of Ten Hill Farm Mass, who, in giving a history and description of his stock, gave it the name of sCream Pot" as the best exponent of its qualities
 We de not kuow that. this breed, for such it is assumed to be, has extended be- yond the ueighborhood of its origin nor do we know that they are there bred in sufficient numbers to admit of such circu- lation. They must havo great merits to compete successfully with seme of those above named.
