THE Paris Intelligencer very sforci-
bly, and truthfully says that the Ten
nessee farmer who buys corn, -four,
hay and bacon, without some provi-
dental misfortune is the cause, dis
graces the high and noble calling Of
his employment, and is making and
circulating a slauder on Tennessee
soil, and her husbandry. He is black

Crop Reports.

The Nashville Union and Ameri-
can of Tuesday says: I'VE have now
given very full reports from almost
every portion of the State of the eff
fects of the late cold snap upon the
crops. The general opinion seems to
be that the fruit, with the exception
of apples, has been seriously injured,
and that the crop of peaches, pears,
plums and cherries will be unusually
small; still, in some localities there
will be a pretty fair yield. There is a
good prospect for a fair yield of ap-
pies. The wheat has been but slight
" damaged, and as the report comes
up from every direction that the area
seeded to wheat is much larger than
last year, we may look for very large
crop, unless it should be injured here
after. The injury to the tobacco plants
has not been very serious, and there
will be no lack to put in as large a
crop as can be cultivated. The out
look is greatly more favorable than
was anticipated ten days ago.

BISHOP MANNING's AccEssIoN TO THE CAR
DINALsHlP.-Tbe North German Gazette
referring TO the recent discussion in the Eng
lsh press respecting Cardinal Manning's
position in English society, devotes some
remarks 10 the social consequences which
his appointment will have, and to the ques'
ton raised by the introduction of prince
of the Church into the upper classes of So
ciety 10 England. The article says the Car.
dnal, as prince Of the Church would enjoy
10 Catholic countries precedence over mem
beers of the families Of the highest nobility.
This, however, is out Of the question III
Protestant England, where people, OF course,
do not recognize the status of 4 prince OF the
Church. The Gazette adds: Mgr. Man
ming has avlilcd bimself of every oppor'
tuuity to obtain place in the upper grades
of society in England, and wishes to compel
it to recognize his rank in church which is
in England. properly speaking, only dis
Sentiug sect. The great noblemen OF the
House of Lords, however, would hardly be
disposed to take their places behind Ro-
nun Catholic prehte. The good relations
which have hitherto existed between the
archbishop and the arstocracy might there
tore, should he adhere to his claims, become
rather less friendly. 1t is even possible that
the question may he raised in the House OF
Commons as to WHEELER British SUI ject can
accept the title of Cardinal without the con.
sent Of the Government.

4 Twas DIscoyERY.-Au old man dowr

A TEXAS Discovery. old man down
in Cooke county, Texts, has made curious
discovery, if correspondent of the Gaines
vile Gazette is to be believed, aud he seems
to have no inducement 10 lie, though he may
have a slight leaning that way. He has
seen, or says be has, TWENTY-FIVE, stones OF
different colors, embracing all th& hues and
shades of the rainbow, and Tzfyihg in size
from that of a mans fist to buckshot.
Their weight seems to be about that OF graz
lite or other hard stone. The old man who
showed them told the veritable 6. W., VINO
wrote the account, that he made these stones
from ordinary charcoal, and that he cou'd,
if he was little better fixed, make wagon
load of The same in few weeks. In a dark
room the stones are very luminous, and
seem 10 twinkle like the stars on clear
night. The coal is reduced in bulk ABOUT
one-fourth in the wonderful transformation,
while it increases in weight from 300 to 4oO
per cent.
Grbis would seem TO be an invention rather
than discovery; or perhaps it is both.]
