THE California hop vine has the
singular habit of only growing in winter.
The colder the weather the better it
thrives and on clear, frosty nights 1t
sometimes grows an inch in five hours.
1t bears beautiful snow-white flowers,
something Like -tuberoses, only much
more fragile and fragrant. Ladies wear
them with diamonds at evening parties.
They wither in daylight, and open enly
at night. When the mercury is lowest,
end the stars are almost reflected on the
aerisp shining snow, then this dellcat
flower opens its petals and fills the frosty
air with its ferfume.

lime from the kiln, provided you lay on an equal
quantity, and IN an equally minute state of division.
The effect will only be a little more slow" OF course
the effect will be more powerful, as The mari abOUnds
in pure lime. Now, | 5pprehend that all our marls are
of a very pure nature that which [ subjected to
Professor Johnston's analysis, contained no less than
SO parts in the lO0 OF carbonate OF lime; whereas the
largest proportion which | find CT lime in any pub
lished analysis, viz, that of the mari of L~un6bere, by
Sprengel, contains only IS per cent; others, 35, Is,
&c. &c. Therefore, says Professor Johnston,
q this mari is exceedingly UaIuQbLe, containing compara~
lively little foreign matter. 1t may with benefit be
added to the cane soiL.' Again. Your plan of APP
plying the mari along with the manure Il. .. mixing it
in alternate layers on the pen, and especially using it
as a covering 10 the pen) is excellent Sit can do no
harm to it, but if mixed and turned once or twice IL
would do much good" Professor Low says" Mari
is much slower in its operation than quick-lime, but
more enduring in it's effects. Many soils owe their
great fertility to the addition of mari. The quantity
Of this substance employed is exceedingly various.
being dependent on the nature of the soil. and the pro-
portions ofthe caIcareous matter in the mari. When
it is intended merely as a periodical manureing, it is
applied in the quantity sufficient to afford an ordinary
proportion of calcareous matter, as at the rate of from
so to 100 cubic yards to the acre. Some shell marlS
need only be used at the rate of 25 or 80 cubic yards"
g Like the purer lines" says Johnston, "marls act
more energeticaIly if aided by the occasional addition
of other manure and like them they would finally
exhaust a soil from which successive crops are raised
without the requisite return of ~decaying animal or
vegetable matter"
From this, it follow that whilst we should do well
to give large quantities Of this valuable mari to our
heavy cIayey soils, Astounding as they do in organic
matter, we should also do we'll to give additional guam
titles Of our pen manure to our lighter soils, many of

which, | presume, are constituted of a very large
share of mari. | shall have occasion to recur to the
mari directly. In the meantime | would observe that,
knowing the high value set upon some kind Of sand
for agricultural purposes, and especially In COrnwalls
where it is calculated that seven millions of cubic feet
are at present so employed every year, and mostly
carted to considerable distances, | sent some sand from
one of our bavs to professor Johnston upon which he
remarks,-' scarcely think the lime sand need be
analysed. 1t consists entirely of the remains of shells,
and therefore cannot fail to he a good tOp-dresslng for
your land, though scarcely better, | should think, than
your mari, after it has been exposed for some time TO
the air and is made into compost. | believe either
The one or the other would be advantageous TO your
lands, nay necessary, if you will open and loosen 1t, es-
peciaIly after the introduction OF drains" Now, this
Is a matter OF great importance, since many estates
might procure such shell sand at little or no cost,
whereas the mari might be an expensive and laborl-
Gus dressing. We really pass by and reject treasnrles
Bantry-Bay alone, the sand produces from $4,000 to
$4,000 a-year to the boatmeD, as Mrs. Hall informs US
in her Travels in Ireland, On the coasts Of France,
and especially in Brittany, these sands are extensively
used, being raid on at the rate of from 10 to Is tons
per acre. Without analysing any particular sand, 1t
would be easy for any one, by careful examination OF
a handful, to ascertain whether it contained a large
proportion Of broken shells or coral; fiji does it will
certainly make a good dressing for his land, and the
salt that may adhere to it will do no harm to vegeta-
ton a4 i.
But there is another point of viewin which we must
regard the mari subjected to analysis, and which, |
dare say, is a type of the same substance throughout
the island. " 1t is exceedingly valuable, being rich an
phOsphateS,' or bone earth, says Professor Johnston.

Return Of Dead Massachusetts Sol.
dier's Sword.

A few weeks sine Hon. Gnery
Twichell was informed by member o.
Congress from Virginia that sword was
in possession Of one Of his friends with
this inscription upon it: presented tc
Captain 4. j. Cowdn, by the non
commissioned officers and privates OF
Company F, Fnty-sixth Massachusetts,
Regiment. The parties holding the
sword would cheerfully resign it to its owne,
If living, and if dead, to his family OF
legal representatives. Mr.. Twichell al
once informed General Cowdin of tn,
facts, inquiring if the Captain was his
sou. Word was sent on in the affirmative
with the request that the sword should
be forwarded to the Generals address.
Captain Cowdin was an only son, anG
was killed at the battle of Cold Harbur
June 3, 1864. The sword was upon hls
person at the time of his death. From
Mr.. William l.. Cochran. who had pos
session of 1t. and who has exercised The
utmost kindness and pronpttude IN re.
turning 1t, we learn that some time il
March of 1865 an officer in Genera
Early's command left the sword at tn,
house of Mr.. Cochran's father for SAT
keeping, saying that he had obtained Il
on the batte-fie d; aud when General
Sheridan's army was about to take pos
session of the town. it was buried, aud
has remained there ever since, mt,
about four weeks ago, when it wa,
brought to light. Through the courtes,

received TINS touching memorial of his
son.--BoStOn Transcript, March 7.

Though but couple of months have
elapsed since my previous visit to this

many evidences Of improvement Ill It. Men
OF capital and enterprise have purchas, d
property here, and are putting up new
buildings; and the people are moving for a
new school-house they mania n course
of lectures this season, and Professor
Langston il to lecture tomorrow night.
This is rapidly becoming one Of the most
attractive of the many pleasant Suburban
towns in the vicinity of Washington. Many
who do business in the city live here, go-
ing in and out, morning and evening, by
the w. and 0. railroad, which affords con-
veniences for so dung as also t. many
villages in L,udoun county. In fact, the
towns along this line are making healthy
strides OF Improvement; and we are glad
in the prospect that 1t will rapidly push its
way through the rich and handsome couu-
try to the Ohio river.
1t is also true that other portions OF
Fairfax and Loudoun counties are making
progress in improvements.
And find that HE STATE JOURNAL

Among those who have recently pur-
chased lands and are building at Falls

JOHN E. OWENS. -Mr. Owens COM
mences brief engagement in orr city to-
n ght, and will appear in the popular plays,
"The Victims" and "solon Single" He
will be supported by a fine company,
selected especially for. the travelling BUSH
ness. The engagement here will afftri our
citizens fine Opportunities to witness some
of the most popular comic pieces of the
day, as well as some of the finest acting
ever witnessed on any stage. The Peters
burg Appeal of this morning has the fol-
towing concerning Mr.. Owens:
This grand ma>tl of comedy was greeted
at the Academy of Music last night by very
select and apprecative audience, and fully
justified the fame which had preceded
INN. As an artist Mr.. Ovens is rather a
standard for the rules of criticism than q
subject to be measured by them. In every
gesture, look, speech and action, there is
an eloquence, SO to speak, of humor that
cannot be adequately conceived without
witnessing it and which is beyond all power
Of imitation TO reproduce. In the great
presentation scene, and when you wear
t. think of me- Mr.. Owens, as Joshua
Butteroy, absolutely carried the house by
storm, and peal after peal Of laughter sue
ceeded. la his great speciality of Scion
Single, the delneation was iaullleSs and
fascinating Such an evening OF wit and
nulnor has never been spent in the Acade-
my of Music, and it is a matter of genuine
regret that Mr.. Ovens engagements else
where will not permit him to repeat his
performance here.'

resignation TO the President upon receiving
his credentials, which are already ON the

Judge Richai dson will assume charge of

SAID OIL any official authority.
The legal tenders outstanding have been
temporarily increased 81 ,O0O, 900 to meet
the demands of the department, but the
expansion has no reference whatever to
the money market.
The currency balance in the treasury to-

the heavy drafts to pay members of Con.
