thorny branches appears to grow faster
than that which does not come under its
influence. This is also perceptible under.
the wire fences, now so common in the
division of ~paddocks, &C., as though a
current of electricity collected by the
ratings played from one support to
another and stimulated the growth OF the
heritage.
"Perhaps sufficient attention has not
been paid to<tbe vitalising effects of cleo
tricity in plant culture and that the
systematic application of some mode, on
the principle | have alluded to, may be
found pro l%Octive of advantage even where
the rainfall is not supposed to be ade-
quate to the requirements of the plant.
Probably an affinity or coincidepce of
electricity and vapour exists SO that. these
conductors of electricity. whether 10 the
form of trees or of iron wires, may be
found to bring the one with the other.
"Perhaps the establishment of q system
of wire electric conductors on q somewhat
extended scale may be productive of more
rapid and profitable effects in Antigua,
than would be the waiting for the growth
of belts of trees.
Il would further add that I believe it
is admitted that all bodies which evapo-
rate become electrified, generally negative
ly, but sometimes positively land that
the vapour is in the first case positively,
and the last negatively.
1.-The operations of nature appear to
take the form of endless circles, and thus
whilst during the day the heat of the sun
abstracts from the perspiring leaves Of the
trees, the positively electrified vapours /:
at night they are returned, yielding to
the comparatively negatived trees through
their pointed or serrated leaves, that
amount of moisture and electricity which
is necessary to maintain the equilibrium
of health.
q am somewhat puzzled respecting the
Eucalyptus, the planting of which is stated
to be so valuable in Counteracting the
effects of malaria. It is said to absorb
ten times it's weight of water, so as to
dry up the swamps in which it may be
planted at the same time, it yields a
strong camphor like perfume that COM
pleteIy destroys malaria. This seems to
be a most beneficial provision for man,
but one would think it suicidal to itself,
as it does not appear how its exhausted
supplies Of water are to be ~replenished,
if what is reported of it be the fact.n
Another valued correspondent writes -
1.-THE only remedy for the injured cli-
mate, that has occurred to me, would
be that of an Imperial loan, at low In
terest, for planting and conserving noun
tain lands. 1 take it that a small sum
would suffice; but whatever it be, I fear
it would become the prey. of West Indian
jobbery."

COLLISION AT sEA.-Some experiments
have recently been made with Gramme's
magneto-electric machine, withaa view
for testing its efficacy as q ships signal
light as we'll as for floating signal lights
to show at several miles distance on the
darkest nights ships, rocks, shoals, bar
bours, &c. The Gramme invention is the
same as was exhibited 10 1878 on the clock
tower of the Houses, of Parliament, since
which time great improvements have been
made in it. It not alone supplies electric
light, but electricity as a force cheap
enough for several branches Of commerce..

that cur announcement last week that the
Bounty Bill had become a law, was pre-

very large majority. 1t then went to the
Senate where two amendments we're ad

Senate, as it required the Vice Presidents
vote to carry il. 1t was then returned to
the House that the Senate amendments

CIVIL RIGHTS BILL IN
NEW YORK,
Intentions of Hotel-K Keepers
and Restaurant Proprietors.

AT several of the most prominent no.
tells in the city, where inquiries we're
made yesterday as TO the action proposed
to-be taken in relation to the Civil Rights
bill the managers wer. fouGd to be very
r%eticent upon the subject and disposed to
evade the question. AT The Fifth Avenue
Hotel, Mr.. 6riswold said he did not think
that the bill would trouble the New York
hotel proprietors, To the question if he
would permit colored men to have such
rooms as they desired, he said he did not
allow his present guests to dictate to him
as to what portion of the house they would
occupy ; they we're assigned. such rooms
as he saw fit 70 give them, and it they
we're not satisfied they were at perfect
liberty to 60 elsewhere. sn
He deciared that bis course wonld be
such as was for the best advantage of the
house aud for the comfort of his patrons;
but If a colored man came be would give
him a room, la answer to the question
il he would al ow colored persons to sit at
the general table. Dir. Griswold said thar
there was more than one dining room to
the hotel. that be certainly would not
refuse to feed acolored guests, aud would
take him into such OF the rooms as be saw
6t. ~. .sa Z.

troubled with them. When asked if he

with three dining rooms. and as be did
