weuld, of course, lead to the blessed result of
the withdrawal of the diplomatic agents Of
foreign Powers here, who do as much to warp
the public. mind in Europe as to the real con-
dition of America as our own misrepres enta-
tives at the various courts. If at the outbreak
of our civil war European aristocracy was
more or less enamored with the Southern con-
federacy it was as much due to the prejudiced
information they received from private ENJOYS
at Washington as from our ministers abroad.
Diplomacy in transatlantic affairs, as recently
in European conflicts has turned out the chief
mischief makers, being ever bent on sowing the
seeds Of discord, yet pampered and preserved
after the poison 1t has propagated has
brought death to empires. Of all publicagents
the members Of that profession are permitted
stealthily to gnaw at the heart life Of nations
and to go unscathed by justice and public
opinien, even after their dark deeds have cul-
minated in worldwide calamity. Nay, more
they are worshipped- as marvels Of elegance
and paraGons of fashion, and the more pro-
vincial the capitals in which they play their
fantastic tricks the more exaggerated their
adulation and the more ridiculous their
pretersions.

The Seven Best Disinfectants.

Permanganate of Potash.-Onc part
of the pure salt is dissolved in one hun
dred parts of water. When the crude
material is used, five to ten parts of it
to one hundred of water will suffice.
This disinfectant acts upon liquids and
has little effect upon solids.
Carbolate Acid Water is obtained bv
dlssolving one part ofpurc chrystallized
carbolic acid (which can be rendered
fluid by immersion in hot water) in
one hundred parts of water. Crude
acid should be taken in double the
quantity.
Carbolic Acid Powder is prepared
by mixing one hundred parts peat, gyp-
sum, earth, sand, sawdust or charcoal
powder, with one part carbolic acid
dissolved in water.
Carbolic Acid Wash.-Mix one part
carbolic acid with one hundred parts Of
milk of lime.
Chloride ofLime.-One quart in one
hundred of water.
Solution of Metallic Salts.-Better
to prepare saturated solutions in water
and frequently stir.
suevern's Mass is composed of one
hundred parts of slaked lime. fifteen
parts coal tar, and fifteen parts chloride
OF magnesium dissolved in water.
The above list of disinfectants and
their preparation will be found h;phlv
serviceable, and should not be forgot.

AUTUMN.
BY THOMAS HOOD.

Tine autumn skies are fiush'd with gold,
And fair aud bright the rivers run;
These are but streams of winter cold,
And painted mists that quench the sun.
In secret boughs no sweet birds sing,
In secret boughs no bird can shroud;
These are but leaves that take to wing,
And wintry winds that pipe 90 loud.
'Tis not trees shade, but cloudy glooms
That on the oheerless valleys fall,
The flowers are in their grassy tombs,
And tears of dew are on them all.

[From the San Francisco Alta
Changing Industries in California

The prospect Of the crops in the
State has of late years become grad
ually more important one, and the
fact marks the changing interests of
the State. The production of the
precious metals, important as that still
is, does not occupy SO much of public
attention as does the state of the
weather, the indications of the barom-
eter, and the direction of the wind
1t is come TO be understood that a con
siderable proportion of the popula-
ton are directly interested in the pro-
ductions of the soil another large pro-
portion have their business depend
ent upon the welfare of the farmer !;
and the railroad interest, now lead
ing one, is much concerning in the re-
suits of the harvest. Real estate and
its affiliated industries are all affected
by the showing of the rain -guage much
more than by the operations of the
miners. Ten years since the exports
of the State were 100000 OF that,
Il 900, 900 was in gold, the remainder
in wheat and wool, and that period is
looked back to as one of great pros
perity. Last year the exports OF the
State were s51, 100000, of which s9,-
100000 was wheat, S4,00O,00O wool,
other products S4,948, ,9O6, and treas
ure but S33, ,516,S9S. Yet that year of
larger sales was thought to be one OF
depression. It was really one ofas great
prosperity as falls to the lot of most
communities. The present year shows
every sign of giving a still greater eX-
pausion to the surplus products OF
the State, of producing largepvalue
of staples to sell in the worlds mar
kets. The wheat crop is not so exten-
sive as a greater amount of rain would
have produced, nevertheless it will be
what few years since would have been
deemed an enormous crop. The wool
product will be far greater than ever,
and other products will carry tht
amount of sales to a figure in excess
of that of any previous year.

Strange Will,

Information has reached the Treas
ury Department of singular win just
made in New York. A gentleman
named Derby, of that city, owns prop
erty to the amount of eleven million
dollars, much of it in England, and in
his will he has devised the whole es-
tate conditionally to the United States.
The conditions of this legacy are that
Congress shall pass an act guarantee
ing perpetual interest on the amount
at three per cent. This interest is to
be paid quarterly to the heirs of Mr..
Derby. The immediate heirs are five
nephews and nieces, and one grand
niece. The substance of this curious
proposition is, in short, that Mr.. Der
by agrees to give, at his death, eleven
millions to the Government. in return
for which the latter shall engage to
distribute among the heirs of the tes-
tator the sum of three hundred and
thirty thousand dollars yearly forever,
or practically so long as any record of
the family can be kept.

Gen. Noyes in the March to At
lanta.

Gen Noyes received the wound by
which he lost his leg in the pursuit
of JOhnson's army by Sherman to
Atlanta A correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette, who was in that
part of the army in which was Gen.
NOycs' division, thus relates the affair
in letter dated Near Chattahoochee
River, July 9th, 1864 and published
in the Gazette Of July 9th:
There were many brilliant charges
made by our troops in the pursuit of
the enemy from Marietta to Kenesaw,
well worthy of a more extended de-
scriptiOn than they are likely to re-
ccive. Oae of these fell beneath nay
own notice, and was one of the best
executed movements of the day.
General Dodge, by the afternoon of
the 4th, had pressed in some two miles,
directly upon the enemy's flank, when
he suddenly found himself in front of
O formidable line of.works, extending
away for a long distance upon the
right and the left. If this was the.
main line of the enemy, it was folly
to attempt to carry it, and six regi-
ments-the 9th, 39th and 43d Ohio,
Of Veatch's division, and the 3Ist
Ohio Goth, Illinois and I'd Iowa of
Sweeney's divisiOn-were ordered to
charge the works, and, if opportunity
afforded, carry them. Every one ex-
pected to see the enemy's main line of
battle show itself behind the works, as
Hoods entire corp was known = be
near; but they were, fortunately, occu-
pied but by a single brigade, amply.
sufficient to have held them, had they
made such a defense as could have
been made.
Our boys swept forward in a single
line with a terrific yell, and forced
their way over the rebel breastWorks
so suddenly as to capture large num-,
ber of their defenders. The matter
was so quickly ended that one looking
on could scarcely comprehend the
affair was commenced before it was
ended, and yet not until several angry
volleys had been received by the gal
liant line pressing so swiftly forward
and many of the brave men brought
down.
Among the wounded, was Col. E. F.
Noyes, Of the 39th Ohio, who had COM
mand of the charging column from
| ' CctlSn AAOn6s a lEuCI
than Col. Noyes, or a more accom-
plished gentleman, does not belong to
the army, and his loss to the service
will be very keenly felt, especially in
his own division.
He was wounded in the leg just as
he reached the rebel works, and so
severely as to necessitate its amputa-
ton between the knee and ankle. The
anputation of leg during this hot
weather is almost equivalent TO an am
putatiOn ofthe neck; and yet the sur
geons are sanguine of Colonel Noyes'
recovery. He is of a plucky cheerful
disposition, not easily discouraged.
and aods a man Of strictly temperate
httJtts, and these conditions, SO great
ly to his GtraRtage, may possibly save
him. s.
