Dinerenty Varieties orwhent

Experiments in crossing the diff
ferent varities of Wheat have been
attended with very promising results.
Out of about 100 knernels carefully
crossed between the red Midge-prooi
and white Soules, some ID or l6 vari-
eties are very promising, showing, in
some instances, almost pure SOules,
in colour and appearance of grain,
with the earliness and midge-resist-
ing qualities of the red Wheat. =
Some of these varieties have shown
remarkable productiveness, rs many
as 1890 kernels having been produced
from one on one occasion. The result
of these experiments with Wheat
cannot but be productive of much
good to the agriculturist, as establish
Ing the fact that different varieties OF
Wheat can be artificially crossed, and
thus enable the operator 10 mould
both the grain and the straw into the
shape and colour that he may desire.
1t points also to the important fact,
viz, that with plants as well as with
animals, a cross between different
varieties gives vigor to the offspring.

Correspondence Lynchburg Republican.
In 1851, the uncle of the writer re-
sided as American Minister at Paris,
with large family around him. At
this time appeared In society there
Eugenie Marie de Guyman, Countess
of Montijo, lovely person and an
aristocratic name, securing her bril-
liant conquests In that society, and
constituting her one Of the most fa-
nous ladies In Paris. 1t was thought,
and indeed freely remarked, that her
mother was more ambitious than her.
self, that the former designed for her
some alliance, while Eugenie appear
ed model of simple sincerity, a girl
who would choose to consult her heart
In any matrimonial affair. Her sis.
ter had just married the Duke of Alba
and Berwick, lineal descendant Of
James ii. of England, and the wor-
thy mother, Donna Maria, no doubt
designed at least an equal matrimo-
nial destiny for the more beautiful OF
her daughters. But the heart Is not
always controlled even In the most
aristocratic life, or to yield to its ex-
actions or convenience. Eugenie lost
hers to fine-loolSing blonde Virgin
ian, young William G. Rives, son OF
the American Minister. They were
engaged to he married. But Auns
Judy Rives, Virginian matron, very
decided and angular In her scruples,
interferred and broke off the match ;
the Countess was too "fasp' for her
old Virginia views Of social sobriety.
The woman for whom future had re-
served SO much escaped the compar-
atively humble match that her heart
had decided upon-the destiny of a
quiet Virginia housewife to ascend
the throne of France. Alas, what
other contrasts may yet remain for
her! If an event bad been ordered
differently, If a prospective mother
in-law had proved complacent, the
Empress, the woman who has adorn-
ed the throne of France and display
ed to the world the charms of another
Cleopatra, might at this moment be

The German War LOSSES.

The Brussels correspondent of the
Pays, writing on the 9th says: "An
officer who has followed attentively
all the phases and vicissitudes of the
war, has just com municated to me a
sort of expose of the situation of the
Prussian army, derived chiefly from
information in the journals. The
losses may be estimated as follows
Up to the 18th, inclusively, Germany
counted 800, 900 men disabled. Since
that day, six more have elapsed, du-
ring which seven French fortresses
have been constantly besieged, Civ
ing one hundred and twelve days OF
combat under their walls. All the
letters agree in affirming that the
three days of battle before Sedan,
were more sanguniary than any OF
the preceding. The Prussian losses
may, therefore, be set down at 100,
900 men. Whole regiments were al.
most destroyed by the mitrailleuses
at the moment of passing the bridges
The army of McMahon had to fight
four days battle after q series of par.
tial engagements during as many
more. We have thus four days OF de-
tached actions under Mcmahon, foul
of regular battle, Ave of combats
with the free corps, ll2 Of continued
hostilities before the fortresses, four
of sorties, under Marshal Bazaine-
August 20 and q, and Sept. and p
two before Strasburg, and two of tn,
garrison of Toul and Phalsbourg
making in all one hundred and thir
ty three days of combats and battles
All this warrants an estimate of tn,
German losses since the 18th, at ;
figure of 200, 200 killed, wounded ant
lost. If, therefore, all the forces o
the invading army amounted to 800,
900 men, there would remain bu
400, 600 to bring into the field.

Bridal Costumes n Century Ago.

To begin with the lady: Her locks
were strained upward over an i'm
mense cushion, and salt like an in
cubus on her head, and plastered over
with pomatum, and then sprinkled
with powder. The height of this
tower was somewhat over n foot
One single white rosebud lay OH its
top, like an eagle on a haystack.-
Over her neck and bosom was folded
lace handkerchief, fastened I'm front
by q bosom. pin rather larger than u
copper cent, containing her grand
fathers miniature set in virgin gold.
Her airy form was braced up in u
satin dress, the sleeves as tight as the
natural skin of the arm, with waist
formed by n bodice, worn outside,
whence the skirt flowed off and was
distended at the top of the ample
hoop. Shoes of white kid, with
peaked toes, and heels of two or three
inches elevation, enclosed her feet,
and glittered with spangles, as her
little pedal members peeped curiously
out.
Now for the swain. His hair was
sleeked back and plentifully below
cred, while his que projected like the
handle of a skillet. His coat was "a
sky-blue silk, lined with yellow; his
long vest of white satin embroidered
with gold lace; his breeches OF the
same material, and tied at the knee
with pink ribbon. White silk stock
ings and pumps with laces, and ties
of the same hue, completed the hab-
iliments of his neither limbs. Lace
ruffies clustered around his wrist, aud

of his beloved, finished his genteel

A STEAM rLow AT woRK.

The Vicksburg Hearld gives the
following description Of asteam plow
at work on the plantation of Gen.
Wade Hampton, near Skipwith's
Landing, Miss.
It consists of two portable engines,
which are SO made that they run
themselves without the aid of horse
power over any road or field. The
engines are placed at opposite sides
OF the'field, and by means of wire
ropes, four hundred and three yards
long, draw a gang of plows from one
side to the other. The plows cut the
soil to any depth required and at a
rapid rate, faster than man can
walk. There are different sets of
plows, for subsoiling, for deep and
shallow plowing, for subsoiling, for
Extracting roots, and for making cot
ton beds. The latter Is the most in
teresting, and makes q complete cot
ton bed, OF over five feet wide at one
operation. They plow on an average
of twenty-five to thirty-five acres
daily, and can do even more on loose
soil. The engines are also useful for
much other work. The General has
large saw-mill which these ma
chimes take with them to the woods
to cut lumber and make fencing
The heavy and broad iron wheels oi
the engines help to make good roads,
and there is no better road i'm the
country than the one through Hamp-
toms Walnut Ridge plantation, live
miles long. A few days ago one OF
these engines came down to the
wharfboat ut Skipwith with six large
wagons in tow. These were placed
on the boat, heavily laden with lum-
ber, and the "train then started fol
home at a lively rate, crossing one ol
the levees. 1t would have taken
twenty-four good mules to have pull.
ed those loads. Another time the en-.
gine was hitched" to good sized
house and moved it back from the
river bank several hundred yards in
about twenty minutes, as fast as the
men could keep the rollers under it
1t is the Intention of Gen. Hampton
to make these engines haul all his
cotton to the river this season when
the weather Is favorable.

There is quite similarity IN the

when young were close students;
were alike I'm habits and dis

DIARRHEA.-It is a very common
disease in summer time. Cholera
is nothing more than exaggerated
diarrhea," says Hall's Journal of
Health. "When a man has died OF
diarrhea, he has died of cholera I'm re-

know that the first, most important,
and most indispensable item in the
arrest and cure of looseness In the

Nature herself always prompts this
by disinclination to locomotion. =
The next thing is to eat nothing but
common rice, parched like coffee and

salt and butter. Drink little or nc
liquid of any kind. Bits Of ice may
be eaten or swallowed at will. Ev-

WON HIMSELF.

I was going up the Mississippi In
1S4S, Judge Underwood, of Kentucky,
and Henry Clay being on board.
"That's u rough crew from Nat
chez" remarked the clerk, who came
upon deck as we were about going be-
low. "They play hard and high"
"Let's o and look on for awhile,n
said the Judge.
We went down in the saloon, where
we found two parties at play. At
one of the tables sat four men, about
whom were gathered large number
of lookers-on: and they proved to be
the heavy players we joined the spec
tators, The game was "twenty-
deck poker" and money was chang
ing hands with startling rapidity.-
One of the players, middle-aged
man, whose face showed plainly the
ravages of an excess that was sapping
his life, and who, afterward learned,
was u cotton planter, had staked his
last dollar and "called" his oppo-
nent's hand. He held four queens,
against which We're laid down four
kings. And he was broke" He
started to his feet rs is If to leave the
table.
"Are We dead broke, Colonel ?"
asked he OF the four kings.
"Yes, to the last picayune."
"Give me your note, and I'll lend
ye."
"No," replied the planter, with an
oath. al can do better than that
