WHAT HALF ACRE WILL Do.-A
shoemaker over in Jersey bought a half
acre lot He was fond of fruit and read
the papers. The soil was wet clay and he,
selected fruit to the climate. He built a.
house and put his land in condition to
produce fruit. He had no manure but
the droppings of the street cattle. In his
leisure he brought from the woods bark
rotton wood, moss, and leaf mould, which
he mixed with the soil three feet deep
This was done by degrees, and then as
fast as the ground was prepared he plant
ed the fruit He became SO interested
that he retired from his cobbler's bench.
His half acre supported himself and his
wife comfortably almost in elegance
She had no servant and had plenty of
time to cultivate flowers. Strangers in
quired about their beautiful home. Isa-
bella grapes and common currants formed.
the bulk of their fruit. With a better
selection his income would have been
larger. Others had the same success on
small pieces of ground. One man sup
ported his family on an acre. Half was
in grapes, the crop Of which in one sea-
son sold for $500, and had no bills to-
pay. If contraction brings, success let us
know it and practice it.

ANEoDoTE OF King WILLIAM
Brunswick paper gives an anecdote illus
trating the King of Prussia's kind-heart-
tdness A soldier from Stargard, in Neck
lenburg, is on the outpost before Paris.
Here he received letter from home, and
as he had been for long time
without any news from home, he
could not refrain from opening it
Immediately. in reading it he became so
absorbed that he had no eye or ear for
what passed around him. Suddenly he
heard a noise, looked up and perceived
the King and Grown Prince, with their
retinue Startled, he let the letter fall
and gave the customary salute. The
King, remarking his anxiety and confu-
sion, stepped up to him in a friendly way
and asked: We'll, letter from your
sweetheart ?" " No, your Majesty, from
my father" he replied. May read the
letter, or are there secrets in it?" asked
the King. The soldier handed the letter
to the King, who returned to his suit and
read as follows: In fortnight your
sisters wedding comes of; we shall all
greatly miss yon on that day, but your
old mother is most of all vexed at not
seeing you here 1t does not matter,
however, only go to thetFrench in earnest,
so that the Unsuitable mouth of those
fellows may be soon stopped" The King
returned the letter and rode on. No long
time elapsed before the soldier was re-
lieved from his post He received four
teen days furlough and was able, at the
Kings expense, to make a journey to
Mecklenburg and attend the wedding.

THE WAY LEE SURRENDERED.--C Clark
Mills visited Gen. Grant lately for the
purpose of getting from HIM an authentic
account of the particulars attending the
surredder os Gen. Lee, to aid him in his
proposed work of the representation of
that event in relief for the monument
On this point the President said:
"Lee came in with a flag of truce to
see on what terms we would receive his
surrender. l stated the terms and Lee
said: Please reduce that to writing /
took some manifold paper and made sew
eral copies, and handed one TO him, say
ing, There, I believe that is about as
talked Lee read it and signed it.
The manifold copies were then dis
tributed to several generals The trans
action took place in front of my tent,
and with little pine table between us.
To remark of Mills that he had seen
picture representing the surrender as
having taken place in room with a car
peted floor, and in the midst of the staff
officers of both armies, Grant replied that
the picture was gotten up to show of the
aids. That was more like the turning
over of the surrendered forces on the
next day, but the real surrender took
pla ce as above stated"

ITEMS OF PROGRESS IN 1870-The,
South produced in 1870, 100000 bales
of cotton, against 100000 in 1869, but,
it is supposed that the increased products
will bring no more money At all
events, it will cheaper cotton goods
which will be good thing for the mass,
of the people. sa.
The country produced 100000 900
bushels of corn in 1870, at the rate of 2S
bushels per acre, against % bushels in,
1869 At so cents bushel our corn pro-
ducts is worth as much as our cotton pro
ducts at ii cents per pound.
We produced about $60,000000 ofgoldl
and silver in 1870 and exported slightly
less than that amount, leaving our i'm
ports Of specie as clear gain. 1t is sup
posed that we have $30,000,000 more o@
coin III the country than in 1869.
A year ago gold was worth just about
twice as much as at present.
The balance of trade against us for the
year ending June 80, 1869, was about
S75, 100000, against balence for the
year ending June 30, 1870, Of less than
100000
The extention of our railways during
the past year is estimated at 10,000miles,
at cost of $8O0,00O,0Oo.

LUMINOUS FLAMES AND SOUND
Among the curiosities of physical sci
ence is the we'll known fact that luminous
flames are very sensitive to sound exhi-
biting different phenomena under differ
ent circumstances. An ingenious savan
proposes to turn this to practical account,
and for this purpose has devised an APP.
paratus, consisting of two upright copper
rods,each of which at its upper extremity,
has metal band attached at right
angle, and consisting of thin layers of
gold, silver and platinum, welded to-
gether. When exposed to heat, the bands
expand unequally and bend to one side,
thereby coming into contact with plati-
mum point, which is attached to the other
bar, so as to stand about four-tenths of an
inch from the bands. Both ends are con
nected with the poles of a small electric
al battery, in the circuit of which an
electrical bell is introduced, In a dis
tant part of the room, and which sounds
whenever the circuit is closed. flame
is now brought to about ten inches from
the metal band, and on removing to a
distance of ten or fifteen yards from the
flame and whisteling, the flame answers
Immediately, by becoming shorter and
broader In this way it comes in. CONT
guilty with the metal band, and this
curving to one side as it is heated by the
fame, touching the platinum point, closes
the current, and we hear the distant bells
sound each time in answer to the whistle.
In similar manner, the cry of a child in
it's cradle by night may be carried to the
room of its parents and, by "a somewhat
similar arrangement, thief attempting
to open door with key, can sound a
distant alarm bell, if he makes the least
noise. tits even possible to arrange an
apparatus resembling this, by means OF
which, in a fog or by night, the approach
of a boat or vessel can be detected at a
great distance, by the sounding O. bell
in the Captains cabin.
