part in public life and although during the
Kings recent visit to Norway he was made
President of the Government al interim, he
was obliged to resign the office on account
of i'll health. He died Of inflammation of
Of the lungs, a malady to which he had al
ways been subject. In consequence Of his
constitutional deIjcacy, he was accustomed
10 early life to exchange the SHOWS Of Swed-
ISL winters for the softer airs ofSWitzarIand.
RumourS reached the royal circle at Stock
holm that the young Prince found other
attractions in the south Of Europe than
balmy. skies, and that he had tarmed q
serious attachment to a lady ofhumbIera rank.
The Court took alarm, family councils
were held, ana it was decided that these
annual journeys must be put a stop 10, and
a more suitable consort. Whether the
Princes affections were not really engaged,
or whether he lacked the siren 9Th ofIcharac-
ter to withstandthe opposition Of his family,
does not appear, but d bride was found for
him, not in Switzerland, bat in Germany.
He married in 1854 Princess Theresa Of
Sake Altenburg, an umiable lady Of simple
tastes, who made hlm an excellent WIFI.
The union was a happy one, though il has
not proved Of very long Duration. The
Prince, who was the youngest grandson Of
Bernadotte, had d smaller fortune than
either of his brothers, the two kings, but
from his less conspicuous position lie was
really better off. Possibly he missed the
Swiss visits physically, if not morally, for
he las died Of an apparently triling chest
attack at the age Of Al. He leaves no
children.

Il should therefore be the first step we take in at.
tempting to improve or ameliorate the soil" " Per
feet drainage and deep p~Ioughing is the true principlo
OF giving to / the soil an increased fertility by this
means, the plants are enabled readily to push their
roots further and deeper in search Of food, which they
obtain of a more healthy kind than when the soil is
imperfectIy drained and p~loughed shallow. If the
sod on a retentive subsoil be only pulverised to the
depth of the furrow slice, in continued wet weather it
soon gets into a state unfit for vegetation, and when
it again becomes dry, it is as hard as a mass of bricks
ready for the kiln" " But when the soil is artificial
" deepened by deep ploughing, and the subsoil is
also made porous to a much greater depth by the
subsoil plough, the rain gradually sinks down to the
whole depth of the porous substratum, and from
thence TO the furro w-drains, and in time of great
drought, the deepmoUed ground wU hold, by capillary at
traction, q much greater supply Of moisture for the nouriSh-
ment of ~pIants." 4 When the particles of earth which
compose the soil are separated from each other, or
well pulverised, it holds the greatest quantity of free
or available moisture, and readily transmits it to the
plants which are growing in it but when the parti-
cIes of earth are closely packed together, like new
made bricks, it neither can receive moisture, nor will
it give out that which it already possesses" The
productiveness of any soil, we think, depends princi-
pally on it's natural or artificial c~apability of retaining
or trar shifting it's moisture, the vehicle at least by
which the nOurishment IS conveyed to plants the
soil, whose constituent parts are best adapte for re-
tanning a sufficient supply had transmitting a proper
portion in very dry weather to the plants growing in
it., without holding it in injurious quantities in the
time of very wet weather, is possessed of the princi-
nile of vegetation, and will be found to be of the most
productive nature" The too tenacious CLAW soils
must be made a~rtifcially friable (by drainage and the
admixture of marls, sands, &c) aud kept so, and be

or auth prity, as I have before NE the opinion of Pro
ftSsor Johnston, founded on the analyses Of these
very soils, and which has been indeed my text, After
uIvcrling to vlri1uS points connected with the soils
analysed, he slvs,-' Itthese soils we're anywhere in
England, | should say the first thing to be done with
hem would be to put in drains this would make
them more free. admit Of their being SUBSIDIZED and

lated there to a considerable extent. III Were my
self BarbadoeS [ would try the same system of
thorough drainage for the culture OF the cane as we do
at nome for the culture of corn. The depth to which
the cane roots would 90 would compensate for any
additional drought to which the drains might be sup
posed likely TO give rise, and would, no doubt, in
a great measure. do away with the falling of the cane
complained of. But if draining be not attempted, you
ask, ought the land TO be subsoiled, stirred, and
opened, 4 e. with the subsOil plough? Certainly it
ought, though It's effects, where drains are not prevl-
ousIy established, will neither be so great nor so per
mauent. The subsoil will run together and close
again, and the oxide of iron will still remain beneath
the roots, f~orbidding their further descent. II might

to some further inquiries, he says,-" You will, |
think, never find out the true value of your estates
until you secure the effectuai deepening and open

most disclaim having suggested TO the Professor what
he should say to me, for certainly nothing could be

man there was a daily arrival there of
one hundred and fifty or more emi
grants. HOtel-keepers, physicians and
druggists and state and county officials
make the money. First-class boarding
and lodging is S2l p>. ,eek office rent
$50 per month, some pay $50. There
are about twelve physicians there, and
they realize from their practice an aver
age each of from seven to ten thousand
dollars per year.
The druggist say there is more Qui-
nine consumed in that state than in
any four others in the Union. Men die
there for the want of medical attention.
The doctors are SO busy that they are
compelled to neglect some of their pa
tients. Men are there from all quar-
ters of the Unit d States, for the sole
purpose of making money, strangers tO
each other, and care not to be acquain

portion of the population. Sherman
supports two weekly newspapers, the
Courier, which is democratic, and re-
publican sheet, the name of which l
have forgotten. One fine NJ. E. church,
two good schools, about fifty bar
rooms, as many gambling hells, and ut
least $50 professional gamblers. The
good people of the town are making an
effort to improve the morals of the
place by rigid enforcement of laws,
and preaching. 1t is to be hoped that
they Avill succeed. Night assaults and
robberies are of frequent occurrence.
"Street-walkers" are numerous, and,
in order to protect ladies from insult
on their way to and from church, church
sociables, etc. the city has passed All
ordinance directing the police to arrest
any female they may find on the street
without an escort after dark, and take
her to prison until morning.
Malarial pOisons, arising from the de-
cav of rank vegetation and the sudden
transitions in the weather, make it very
unhealthy. CerebrO-spinal menengitis
has been raging there as an epidemic
for several weeks past, with 80 per
cent. fatality.
Hundreds of men who have sold their
happy homes in Kentucky Mississippi,
Georgia, Florida, and other states, and
gone to Texas, are ont of money, desti-
tute of friends, and are trying with their
families to get back. Some start afoot,
slip on the trains at the water-tanks
and wood yards, and ride until discov-
