IRISH POTATOES.

In the journal of the Royal Agri-
cultural Society (England), DR.. Voei-
ker, the wellknewn agricultural chem
ist, records the following conclusions
from careful experiments in special
fertilization of the soil for potatoes:
l. The greatest crop came from the
application to an acre, Of 400 pounds
of mineral superphesphates, 200 of
potash salts and 200 of su!phate of
ammonia.
2. Barnyard manure was found to
answer every purpose equally as well.
3. The absence of ammonia was at
tended with a marked falling off and
nitrate of soda cannot replace it.
4. The compound above named beats
Peruvian guano.
5. Common salt does no good but
harm to potatoes.
6. The above mixture gave a crop
of IL tons Cor AS bushels9 to the acre
on light land, and the same, unmanur
ed, yielded but half.

SOME SIMPLE EXPERIMENTS.

1
Place tobacco pipe in such posi-
ton, on the edge of the table, that if
it were left unsupported it would fall
to the ground. A poker may now be
suspended from the pipe in such a
manner that the weight of the poker
will be sustained by the pipe. The
looped string on which the peker
hangs should be as close as possible to
the bowl of the pipe, and the end of
the poker must fall under the edge of
the table. The oenter of gravity in
this case is below the center of suspen-
sion, and the pipe. consequently sup
ports the poker.
If a little thread be we'll soaked in a
strong solution of salt and water, and
then dried and tied to ring not much
larger than a wedding ring, you may
apply the fame of candle to the
thread, which will burn it to ashes,
and yet it will sustain the ring. The
cohesion of the fibrous particles of
thread having been destroyed by the
action of the flame, the ring is now
suspended by the cohesion of the par
ticles of salt.
Wrap piece ofclean writing paper
tightly about the cylindrical handle of
the poker, and the paper may be held
over the flame Of the lamp or candle
for some time without being in the
slightest degree injured or burned.
Now wrap similar piece of paper
around cylinder of wood, and hold
it over the flame, which will burn it
almost Immediately. This experiment
shows the difference between the con-
| Quoting powers ef metal and wood
the heat being conducted away from
the paper by the iron almost as rapid
ly as communicated while wood, be-
Ing a bad conductor Of heat, takes fire
almost Immediately.
Suspend poker by two strings, and
insert the extremities Of them into the
ears. A blow given to the poker will
now produce, through the medium of
the strings, a sound equal to that of
great bell. This shows that the vibra-
lions given to the metallic mass of the
poker by the blows are much more
readily communicated to the ear by
the strings than through the air. Thus
on the same principle, the boiling of
kettle, inaudible in the air, may be
distinctly heard, eyen from the begin
ming, by resting one end of the poker
on the kettle and applying the other
to the ear.
So, also, the beating of watch
placed at one extremity of long beam
Of timber, may be heard through the
timber at the other end of the beam by
person whe holds his ear on the
wood, although it is Totally inaudible
in the air.
Place in a small glass bottle hot
water near the boiling point, colored
deep carmine with cochineal; place
the same at the bottom of glass jar
of cold water. Immediately the light
hot colored water in the vial will be
displaced by the heavier cold water in
the jar, and will ascend in beautiful
crimson clouds to the top of the jar.

Letters from John A. Campbell
and Randell Hunt.

There were some yesterday who made the
rather bold assertion that the meeting called
1t O'Clock, Al 81. Patrck's Hall, would be
only Shiny attended, but the f.llacy Of such
VII idea was demonstrated when an hour be
fore the time If meeting, there began to as.
femble hundreds Of citizens to unite in a
mighty voice denunciatory of the capitula
3lon made last Wednesday III the Conserva-
i've Caucus.
The disgust Of compromise advocates was
made perfect when it was seen at the hour Of
seven that the immense capacity of ST. Pat
vick Hall, which can accommodate nearly
Five Thousand
persons, was totally inadequate to the de-
mand. The hall, the aisles, the door ways,
the galleries, all were thronged, and hundreds
of people turned away because there was not
TO be found available space even for standing
room.
1t was not the 81 IF raft" as & country gen
tlenan, an earnest indorser Of compromise,

ton meeting; the audience last night was not
composed of "bar-rcom cut-throats and

The people Of ! ouisiana have so long and 50

Their presence was a solemn protest against
the contamination of an act which will lead to
par fair States shame; an earnest appeal for
reconsideration OF a step, which a delu,iv
hope urged, bit which can eventuate in
nothing but disgrace.
At Z o'clock DR.. Brickeli came forward and
said:

siding officer Mr.. Thomas Allen Clarke.
After Mr.. Clarke had assumed the chair,
