 THE LONDON SEASON. peculiarity of the London season is the time of yeal at which it takes place. In all continen tai countries, winter has been the invariable signal for rush to the capital. In France, this result was attained in part by a little ungentle pressure employed by the able ministers of early Bourbon kings It did not suit Sully, and and still less Richelieu and Mazarin, that the great noDles should remain on their vast estates. each Duke the center of pretty court, where treason able projects were readily matched, and armed rebellions lightly begun. By threats, by cajolery, and by every imaginable arti- flee. the feudal aristocracy of France was drawn to Paris, so that every minor lumi. nary might add lustre to the royal state. But in England, where the power of the feudal nobility was broken at much earli- CT date, there was no such reason for com polling the upper classes to pass the winter in London. The English passion for field sports, the intensely home-loving spirit of the nation, and the sturdy independence of the gentry, contributed to keep the lords of acres in their own manor-houses, where the yule-log was duly burned, the boar's head and wassail.bowl borne jovially in, the tenantry feasted, and the buck or the hare hunted, in compliance with immemo- rial custom. But in early summer there are fewer cares, as well as fewer pleasures, to keep knights and danes, the esquire and his lady, among their own fields and woods. The corn was sown and growing, and till brown Autumn should come, with it's lngathering of harvest and rent, there was little to keep land. owner in the coun- try. That was the time for the assembling o1 Psrlirment; and out of the needs of legis. lation there gradually grew up what for. eigners regard as the phenomenon of 6 London fair-weather season. One other reason there probably was for the selection of fair-weather London season; and this had references to the nature of that stock subject for grumbling, our well-abused climate. Continental summers are com. monly hot. Paris in July becomes a Iii tanic limekilD, where the white dust of the calcareous stone floats, mote like, in the golden sunbeams. Vienna is furnace; Madrid glaring desert, with yellow hous- es to do duty for rocks; and even Berlin lies baking in the midst of it's shadeless plains of sand. But in England, where the extremes of heat and cold are so rare, May, June and July can be spent in a great town without inconvenience. It was all very well for the perpetual railer, Hor. ace Wapols. to jeer at the English climate, and to write word to his friends that "the summer had set in with its usual severity. , But it is because our island belongs more thoroughly to temperate zone than any other tract of European soil, that we are able to enjoy London June. while the inhabitants of foreign cities are gasping like newly-caught fish.

ANEeDoTE :: OF HORACE GREELY.-
Fanny Fern tells the following story Of
her first. meeting with Horace Greeley.
He agreed to take tea at her house, and
Mr., Parton gave her special instructions
to have some stale bread on the table, as
Horace G., he said, never touched hot
biscuit. =
This was accordingly done, and when
the great editor sat down to supper, a
large supply of dry bread was placed
close to his place. He, however, was not
content with this, but peering across the
table in his near-sighted way at the bis
cult opposite, he stretched out his arm
and proceeded to help himself, and actual
ly made his entire meal of them. Mrs.
Parton expressed her surprise atthis, and
said: ........,...
"Why, Mr.. Greeley, I read the lTi6-
at,,e for so long time, that / thought
you abominated hot bread?" a.
"Fauny," replied the sage Horace,
helping himself to another biscuit, edo
you always practice what you preach ?
I'm sure don't"

Gnltfrating Corn after it Has Eas-
sellel. -, Vii

1t is the opinion of some farmers, that
after corn has put out the tassel, that
hoeing or ploughing it is not only useless
but injurious. This opinion must have
arisen from observing the results, when
the plough and hoe had been injudicious-
ly used, For,practice and theory cor
roberate each other as to, the beneficial;
effects of-the proper cultivation Of corn
after the tasseIis out, nay: even to. the
stage of the roasting car. One plant
er, Il think Mr.. Philips, of the Southern
Earmer,) writes that he kept bis. corn
blades green, until his corn was nearly
hard, by running cultivatw lightly
through it every ten or twqN fTs:
Thousands of farmers can TESTIFY Ger
tainly, to the good effect of surface cul-
ture of corn after tasselling.
If there is time when corn needs, all
the resources of the soil, every contribu-
ton from every rootlet, in full, it is from
the time it punches for the tassel to the
full formation of the grain. Whatever
interferes with the supply of Sap to the
stock. at+his time, must in some measure
injure the yield. Now grass and weeds
injure to very sensible degree this sup
ply &aD[ To- I'll y IA =
But if there was no other way to, re-
move this grass, except by deep plough
ing with turning ploughss, it would be-
come question whether the ploughing
would not do more injury than the grass
and probably the wiser course might be
to leave it undisturbed. But tgood
farmer will not let the grass get so far
ahead, unless he is .cireainyented by the
XIV. Amendment or uncomfortable cir
cumstances, Wharesthe customrprevails
of ploughing corn deep, putting the
share below the level of the deepest corn
root, it would indeed be wonderful. if
tasselled corn after receiving such "a
working, cutting of. all its supplies near
ly at 'one stroke, did not wilt, fire and
fail. There is q custom too Of ,heaping
the earth around the stalk. This,is-a a
sort: Of a farewell caress !. but when holes
are dug near the stalk to get the earth
for the mound, many esrh roots are
severed, and the corn injured in nspropor-
ton, but the sweating, toilng farmer,
fully believing that the larger he makes
the hillock, the larger will be ear, fondly
files it up. This kind of cultivation is
probably the sort that has been witness
eddy those who cry out against working
corn after it has tasselled. But, keep
the surface stirred lightly, do not disturb
aSicorn root if the grass can be removed
without it, keep shallow, stir the surface
often, and you may work corn as late as
you please, not only. without in
jury but with benefit. +.

Black Rust in CottOn-What is it,

Last year I planted land subject to
this disease and blight; consequently I
took notes, and observing its progress
closely. 1 used a fertilizer composed of
salt plaster and Peruvian gouano, equal
parts, mixed Oh the plantation of this l
used. three hundred pounds per acre on
that land. The cotton grew off beauti-
fully; the rains being all that could be
desired, and favorable to clean culture,
and: it never suffered for work. About
the first Of July it showed, symptoms of
the Black Bust Iuse the term black
because the leaves turn black, curl up
aud" fall of, and to distinguish it; from
Red. Rust, which does not kill the stalk,
or so completely ruin the crep. 1t soon
proved fatal. to my cotton, as it stopped
makingg,,,sThe young. bolls never ma
tured, neridid theagrown bolls open, ex-
cept in a very imperfect manner -.
Now for my discovery, and l give my
reasons. that others may observe for
themselves, make the test and satisfy
themselves that 1 am right in my OBJ
seryations and conclusions. -" 20
had come to the conclusion that it
was for the want Of vegetable matter in
the soil, or that the land was .too-wet and
needed thorough draining of the sub
strata, which held the water in a quantity
sufficient to sour the soil. The latter
condition is. not, the cause but@it pro-
duces the cause by generating small
worms or insects, not larger'than a small
pin, and one, quarter Of an inch
long, of the same kind that kills
corn, on the same quality of, land, by
entering the tap-root and ascending the
stalk. The proof is that this quality of
land is always subject to Black. Rust,
more or less as the seasons vary in favor
of, or to the reverse. Further proof:
This land had not been in cotton for ten
years, and had fair amount of vegeta-
bic, matter restored; part of stiff low
ground and part elevated light soil river
bottom. On this land, in the same row
I found stalks perfectly green and bloom
ing, while the next stalk was perfectly
dead, as was the, larger portion of the
field. This induced me to make an ex-
animation, by pulling up the green and
the dead stalk, washing them and exam
lining the root: 7 could see no differ
ence except one was dead and the other
green ); and that the dead stalk showed
more decay just at the ground than any
where else. This, led me to dissect the
root by cutting off all the laterals and
then commencing on the tap-root, which
I cut off halfian inch at a time, and
found it solid until, halfway up the root ,
it then had thesappearance of q pith.: -
In healthy plant the pith does not make
its appearance below its first limb. Right
here Hounds very small hole from the
outside to the centre of the root. The
insect then ascended the stalk until it
struck the pith and ,sapped the stalk Of
its vitality or nourishing power, conse-
quently the leaves were the. first to
perish, next the boil, and finally the
stalk. .s,.a..,a, &. 3 m x = J.

Ayoung Prussian officer who, as the story
goes, doubted the love of his afianced
bride, requested one of his friends, after the
battle of Gravelotte, to inform her that he
he had been killed, and to report to him how
T she bore the news. The result was that the
girl committed suicide; and the lover,
shocked at the tragedy he had so unwilling
ly caused, became raving maniac, and is
now an inmate of the asylum in Berlin,
where he is regarded as incurable. The
young officer might have remembered Ger

and have been restrained from trying SO dan
