Eg- "The history of politics, in The
United States" says the New York Jour
nal of Commerce, furnishes many strik-
ing examples of tie evils resulting FROM
extreme pnrtisanship in the choice of pub
lie officers. Al no previous epoch in our
annals have we been called upon TO do
plore this evil with such heavy hearts,
and with feelings Of such intense regret,
as at the present time. Under a system
like ours, where the possession of power
depends on the popular elections, it can
hardly be expected that the evils to which
we refer will be always avoided-and, so
long as partisanship is subordinate to pat
riotism, no serious danger can well flow
from their existence. But when our pub
lie men become so thoroughly imbued
with partisan feeling as to seek success at
the risk of embroiling the country in civ
il war, we may well become alarmed for
the safety of our institutions, and appeal
to the people to cease such unnatural
strife, and give TO reason and moderation
the sway to which they are entitled in all
questions affecting great public interests"

y As it appears that mildew on grapes

sulphur as preventive and also a cure for

A few years since, IL one asserted that trees
had lungs and breathcd, he would have been
held to an argument to prove it just as a
few years earlier nobody would have belley-
ed that fsh's gills, and the leaves of a tree,
and the lungs ofa beast, all performed the
same Office, that OF aerating the blood or sap.
The soil breathes, How does it breathe?
Its circulating fluid, the blood Of the soil, is
water; this comes to 1t from the air, and
is already aerated. True, but this soon
loses its gasses by contact with the soil, just
as the arterial blood fresh from the lungs,
loses its oxygen when passing its circuit in
all parts of the body, The blood comes back
to the lungs for more oxygen, but the blood
Of the soil cannot do this, so we must let the
air come in contact with it. We cannot
here explain the working of the air in the
soil, but would thus briefly enforce the ne
cessity Of stirring the soil during droughts
as deeply as practicable, not to Interfere
with the roots of growing plants, and those
Of previous culture, so that deep and light
soil shall invite free circulation of air be-
meath the surface. Hot air the moment it
presses beneath tho surface, becomes very
moist, from the water which it originally
contained, and it deposits it, thus not only
aerating the soil, but adding to its moisture.
Cold air can hold but little moisture, but
hot air dissolves an immense quantity, which
it deposits when it cools, or on cool sur
faces. Who has not noticed Of winters
