WHAT MAKES HoME.-Beauty is
truly great thing, but beauty of
garments, house and furniture, is a
very tawdy ornament, compared
with domestic love. All the ele-
gance in the world will not make a
home, and | would give more for a
spoonful Of real hearty love, than for
all the gergeousness that all the up
holsters in the world could gather
together.

The Funding Act.

Editors Dispatch: Are we never to have
done with the continual talk about repudia-
ton? AS much opposed as am to the repu-
diation OF either State or individual debts (and
am largely more debtor than a creditor,
having no interest whatever in State bonds,)
believe it would have been far better if the
first Legislature after the war had repudiated
all debts than that the subject should be kept
unsettled, and be continually discussed IN
such manner as to create doubt through
out the State and " all OUTSIDE" as to
whether there will be reputation or not,
thereby injuring our State credit very much,
and materially affecting her honor; for

Now should not be surprised (said Mr..
Sotheron) if some gentlemen thought this
account rather overstated, but | am per-
suaded it is not; and place the figures on
the table inviting inquiry from any one who
may wish to ask for further explanation.
The items of cost-with the exception of
those giving the value of the fibre, which (as
a part of it is yet unscutcheO have been
made upon the estimate given me by Mr..
Stewart, and confirmed by Mr. Dixon, q per-
son of great eXperienCe-haYe been taken
out of my bailitl7s book of receipts and pay
ments; and it is such an account as greatly
encourages me, and induces me to hope that
the cultivation of flax will be continued by
other gentlemen next year. Mr.. Sotheron
then produced specimen of the flax in its
prepared state, which he said he had shown
to manufacturer, who had sent him word
that he should be happy to take all he had,
as it was very valuable tibre.]
Mr.. George Brown, Ayebury, said: That
apart from the advantages resulting to the
poor in Supplying them with labor, it would
be found a very advantageous crop to be
grown by farmers, to q certain extent. He
had grown two acres Of flax, and with very
little trouble had most prolific crop, having
had upwards Of three quarters to the acre
of very fine seed; and if farmers could find
ready market for their fibre, they would
become growers, and consume their seed in
the feeding of their beasts-one Of the finest
things for cattle in health OF sickness. +
Touching the demand for flax and linseed,
Messrs. Noble, George Yard, Lombard street,
write: The sample Of straw you brought
from the River Plate is very good, superior
to the average grown in England. / con-
slider the plan you propose of ut first making
rough flax as the very best you could adopt.
1t was done at first in Egypt, and they have
improved the quality so much that my firm
sold some Last week as high Us e6S per ton.
The demand for flax at prices ranging from
ESQ to EGO per ton is very great. There Is
room for an addition to our market Of 10000
tons (the produce Of 100, 900 acres annually,
without any material fall in price.
Messrs. Walker aud Smith, Hull, write as
follows: The imports of linseed have ranged
from !, loo, 900 quarters to | 100000 quarters
Of about 418 pounds, and the consumption
has always kept pace with the supply, 80
that at the end of the season--say in April,
the stocks have been invariably reduced to q
minimum. Clean linseed Of medium quality,
say Petersburg, ranges from 52s. to 6Ss. per
quarter, while Calcutta and Bombay, giving
more oil, are worth from %. to As. more. The
