When the Emperor declared wal
against Prussia, he concocted an i'm
perial proclamation of which he
ordered several million copies to be
printed in Paris, for distribution in
the States of South Germany, and
among the people Of Hanover, who
we're supposed to be so greatly dis
affected toward Prussia that they
would hail the advent of the French
army. The French troops were to
scatter this proclamation broadcast
among the inhabitants of the regions
through which they were to march
VIGOROUSLY, and it was supposed
that it would have q tremendous ef-
feet. 1t is grcvious to think that SO
many millions Of copies Of this Ma
poleonic proclamation have been re-
duced to waste paper.

These words, glass mirrors, maturity

it, y.t constituted q mirror l? The
want Of plating being the only point
on which those authors rest who re-
fuse the invention of looking. glasses

not find something IN antiquity which
disproves this assertion. Aristotle
nearly centuries before Pliny, is the
first who al!udes 20 tho subject. tie

to be served as mirrors, glass and

Of metal to give back the image

THE GARDEN.
Hon. II. S. Welch,
DEAR SiR:-During the past two
months the usual summer work was
dOue on the gordon. The weather
was dry. very dry, and many OF the
crops will, as . consequence, prove
to be quite expensive, with but little
chance tor remuneration when the
small crop is brought to market.
The crops which have suffered the
most are such as were sowed some.
what late, and which have small
seeds. Early radishcs did reasons-
bly, well, while late ones did poorly.
Lettuce, where sowed late, failed to
terminate. Late beets met with q
like fate. Such onions a. terminated
did moderately well, and ii the wealth
or during the present month should
prove favorable the crop will be good.
In short, all crops suffered more or
less, but those which I have mention
ed suffered the most.
During the past few days the show.
crs have revived many things which
seemed to be burning ont. A few
more such showers as that of the LIST
ins,., will secure the remaining crop.
During the early part OF June we
finished the later planting, and then
turned our attention to the extermni-
alton Of weeds, for this the season
has been quite favorable, and as re-
suit we expect to have the grounds
qnite tree from weeds next year.
The Colorado potato beetle attack
ed the potatoes in good force, but
were kept within bounds by hand
picking. The method adopted was
t. send squad, provided with pans
or pals, over the potatoes every al
ternatc morning. A light stroke was
sufficient to jar the insects from tie
vines into the pans. They were then
crushed and buried. In this way the
