THE JUTE PLANT.-The Commissioner
of A griculture, Hon. Horace Capron, bas
imported through the American Consul
at Calcutta, small quantity of the seed
of the East India Jute plant, with view
to introducing its culture into the ex
IRENE section of the Union, south of the
frost line. It is being distributed to
planters in Texas and Florida, who will
give it fair trial-It is fbrous plant,
resembling coarse flax, of easy culture and
rapid growth, with a comparatively large
product. The crop, when ripe, is cut
down to the roots, and after being steep
ed in water for week Or so, the bark
slips easy, and the silky fibre is detach-
led, cleaned, sorted and packed in bales
of 800 pounds each. It's annual product
in India is estimated at more than 300,-
600 tons. 1t is the material of which
cunny bags and cloth and bagging for
cotton, as well as cheap cordage, and
mats are made. It's great use, however,is
for baling cotton. As It takes about six
wards to wrap bale of cotton, a crop OF
| 8 900, 900 bales would require, of course, 49,
! 000, 900 yards of bagging. The machinery
| for making it in India is very rude: in
fact, no progress has been made in it fol
centuries. But jute factories of colossal
size have been erected in Great Britain
some of which employ 900 hands, and
work up 1000 bales per week into bag
ging, sacking, sheeting carpeting, duck,
&c. In France some 10000 tons of the
raw material are consumed annually, and
in our Northern States its manufacture is
steadily increasing Jute is spun in ma
chinery made on the same principle as
that made for fax and hemp, but differ
ing in size and proportion. It is more
easily worked than either of these fibres
which fact, connected with the cheapness
of the raw material, accounts for the rap
id progress of the jute manufacture in
Great Britain, compared with linen Oh

A Doe OF PIoUs PARTs.-An indiyidu.
al tells the following dog story. Not hav-
ing seen the peculiar member of the ca
nine species referred to, we won't vouch
for the authenticity of the tale:
A gentleman owns dog that has some
remarkable instincts On week days he
has all the passions and propensities OF
other dogs, but on the Sabbath his pecu-
liarities and sectarian sentiments come
out. He knows when this day comes.
He is not the same dog as on other days
He INDUCES in no pastimes, encourages
no company, and seems to say, in actions
louder than words, six days may we play
and do all our work. The family are
Presbyterians the dog is a Methodist
| On Sunday he attends the family to Pres
| byterian church, and then holds on his
solitary and unbroken way until he comes
to his own church, little further on
He has particular place up stairs where
he sits. No belle or madam of fashion
who sweeps up the aisle of popular
church, and finds plebian in her pew,
can give more decided expression OF
uispleasure than this dog if he finds any
body in his seat. He seems to attend to
the services and give dogmatical heed to
the words spoken. An example to many
protesting Christians, he may be seen on
his way to church in foul weather as in
fair; not halliday hearer, either, while
his UNCONVENTIONAL preferences are as well
known as are those of any one in the city

HE HOME OF JEFFERSON.-The home
of Thomas Jefferson is thus described by
a recent visitor: &C Monticello, like al
most every celebrated Virginia mansion
of the old planter time, wears look OF
dilapidation, and, as you draw near it, you
feel sense of shiftlessness, Of old black
imported bricks, of gates. unhinged and
hats stuffed in windows, of threadbare
stateliness and imposing imposition,
bankruptcy, reduction, failure, woe. These
are the impressions. The style of the
house S that OF Corinthian villa, with
a dome over the middle, and with two
irregular wings, one portico opening into
a green lawn, Uttered over with carts,
harness, rotten benches and beautiful
shade trees-oi the latter, particularly
lindens, poplars and locusts. The porti-
CO on the reverse side of the house looks
out upon a sort of paterre, which is inclo-
sed on three sides by the state stables and
by a continuous underground passage
which, after an old notion, had connect
ed the whole series of stables, dry wells,
etc., with the mansion The stable wings
are concluded by two story pavilions, one
of which was Jefferson's liabrary in the
summer time and tho other was his office
in the winter. The house is large, roomy
immortal, but it is in a sad state of dilap-
idation. The shingles on the roof are so
rotten that the rain drives IN at every fire.
