however, who are better initiated in

than two locomotives, appertaining to and
destined to pull the steam-plough belong
ing to Messrs. Macmillan and J.. Farrelly.
1t is worth a mans while to follow the
crowd down and take ones stand some
where not too far from the monsters. Ac-
cordlng to the particular humour of the
visitor he may get the most correct infor-
nation Of all the particulars from either of
the engineers accompanying the steam
plough, as their pollteness and affability are
equal to their experience. The one, Mr..
Francis, is called down from Antigua, where
he has been successfully engaged in the
same business. The other, Mr.. Genth, has
come out with the last packet from Eng
land, whittier he had only lately returned
from a business tour to Egypt. The less
inquisltiye visitor may enjoy the wits and
humours passed on this novel development
in Crucian life. This is not the least in
teresting part to many minds in the mono
tony of our ~rainless existence.
The explanations, conjectures and rea-
sonings you may become a witness to, and
a partaker in, on such an occasion, afford
an opportunity of developing certain mus
cles which might be left to dwindle away
to nothing at the sight Of the rain-clouds
which pass over the thirsty fields and emp
ty ~cisterns. But there is a serious side to
the question, a very grave one, and you
are forever reminded of it: will this
plough prove a success or a failure
The question is anxiously asked and
discussed in these days. There is much
shaking of g~ray-heads, expressive of great
doubt, and great uncertainty. The engin-

with a translation from the Copenhagen

The use Of the plough" says Professor 80 hnston, "the
parts Of the land are more mInutely divided-the air
gets access to every particle-it is rendered lighter,

ior them, and an abundant supply Of oxygen Of the al

likewise, an admIXture OF fragments OF the minerals of
which they are formed, aud which, by their decay,
yield new supplies of inorganic food 10 the growing
plant. The more frequently they are exposed to the
air, the more rapidly do these fragments crumbIe away

do ser indiferente al yer que Sc lanzan en-

para cubrir tai vez aparentemente con

blicidad al acuerdo celebrado ell dia II de

pues sin respetar que personals desintere-
sadas en- ell asunto pudieran tomar la ini-
c;ativa para dar un mentis al que con ell
prop6sito de cubrir apariencias, como llevo

asegurar a la faz del p1blico de que en- esa

nombres de los concurrentrs nj del due1lo

expresivos viva q la Nacionalidad q esta

de aquellos, en- quienes nj aun remotamen-

10 dicho quede sentado que no han exis-
tido los vftores patri6ticos que de una
manera tan inexacta han querido suponer
los reformistas reunidos en- ell acto que
motiva esta contestacion.
Pensaba concluir por no ser demasiado
cansado, pero al revisar ell acta inserta en-
ell peri6dico aludido llam6 mi atencion ell
acuerdo del mismo cuerpo en- que Sc pro-
pone publican la manifestation que hizo
ell concurrente D. Gregorio Maria Cordo>
yes, y como nos vemos privados de leer

me da derecho para juzgar que su sentido
