Among those who were most successful, Mr Robert Ramsay, of Iredell Co., was then men tioned; and we are pleased now to have it in our power to state the result of his labors with the Cane for the present year. His experiment in '57, satisfied him it could be made profitable, and ac- .rJ I n 1 li rt ivnnivul rir i f ntl lit heds for bis machiucrv, kettles, &c, and confidently anticipa- ted a r-iofitable result, ile nut down i6 acres of coirrtnon "corn ground" in Cane; and when it began to ripen, he started his mill, and continued the work of crushing and boiling until he had finished, lie had" 40 head of hogs to fatten' for pork, and to these he fed the cane and seed, just as it was cut from the field, and all the skimmings from his ket tles were turned into his hog troughs. His hogs fattened on it, and saved him nearly all the grain he had usually consumed for this purpose in value, to not less man oiuo. ue made one thousand gallons of sirup, which, at fifty cents per gallon, amounts to 8500. Thus we have 8000 for the crop, not to say anything about the residue easilv converted into excellent manure, 8000 divided by the number of acres planted, give tnius better than the arcrngr of the wheat and I corn crops of this section.

LAaxiK!.inii oun w uo AND THEIR TiPu " The Cashmere goat has been introduced into Frnnp wnr,an(h South Carolina and Tennessee. Th vaiue 0f floct mav D0 estimated from the fact that no real Thibet goat has ever been sold for less j than a thousand dollars. This enormous price, . . .. . j I i moreover, is not a speculative one, ior no umru ; nriinml has wool of such fineness, softness and dura- bility. The wool of all the Thibet go:ts in Tennes- see, for example, has been engaged at ew lork, i this year, at eight dollars and a half per pound, I In. the Punjaub, where no outrage whatever waa I the purchasers designing to send it to Paisley, (in j committed, we executed Jive thousand persons I i Scotland,) in order to be manufactured iuto shawls, j I read that myself, in a letter front Sir John Law-Thr- nrir-os naid for the real Cashmere shawls, rencc. Is it not awful to think of hanging and nr those- woven in India, have sometimes Deen 1 r . .. i ' ; almost fabulous. A full-sized shawl, such as is ! called in America a long shawl, ordinarily commands in Paris or London from five hundred to five thou sand dollars, according to the quality. Scarfs and square shawls, being .ftuallcr, sell for less. It is a mistake, however, to suppose that all these shawls j are manufactured in Iudia, in the shape in which they are sold here. Generally, indeed, the centres and borders come out separately, and are put togeth er afterwards in sizes, and often patterns, to suit customers. Moreover, a large portion of the shawls sold as real Iudia ones, are actually made. in France; for Thibet goat was introduced into that country more than thirty years ago, and the Cash mere shawls imitated with considerable skill. Judges of the article pretend to say, however, that the real India shawl can be detected, by its having a less evenly woven web, as also from its brighter colors. It is likewise said that the border of the genuine Cashmere shawl is invariably woven in small pieces, which are afterward sewed together, as the whole border is substantially sewed on to the centre. But other authorities deny that the skill of India is insufficient to- brorhi- a shawl; in other words, to weave the border and centre in one piece, or run the pattern of the former over the latter. The persons, who, in our own country, and at the present day, purchase worsted or woolen goods under the denomination of Cashmeres, are or ought to be aware that such goods are Cashmerian only in name. A real Cashmere shawl, made by the in habitants of that Indian valley from the wool of a peculiar variety of goat reared on the plains of Toilet, is a most costly article, eagerly sought af ter by the rajahs and sultans of the East, but find ing its way to Europe very rarely indeed. To make a pair of large and handsome Cashmere shawls, re quires the labor of 12 or 14 men for half a year. ; quires The late Kunject Singh, the chief of Lahore, gave five thousand rupees, for a pair of those woolen shawls, the pattern of which represented his victo ries. The animals from which the material is Ob tained are covered by nature with two kinds of coat for clothing; the one fine, curly, generally ney, and imparting to the skin more or less thick, " i mm m m . . 1 j as if to guard it against cold and damp; the other ; coarse, lank, and giving a general co or to the ani- mal: and. as it is onlv the inner and finer coating which is used for the fine shawls, the quantity pro duced is limited, and therefore high priced. Wealth of Cities. The wealth of the iwo great cities of Boston and New York amounts to eight hundred millions of dollars New York having 8525,000,000, Boston 8275,000,000 or a little more than one half that of New York. The property of Boston is one hundred millions more than that of the city of Philadelphia, and nearly ! twice that of Baltimore. It is said that Boston J has more property, per capita, than any other city j in the world Clkiucal Pl'NNlNG. Parson Twiss, of New Hampshire, has just married a lady whose Christ ian name was Desire, it being in his course of remark on a certain Sabbath to illustrate the dif ference between the renewed and unrenewed man in the exercise of love, he delivered himself to the amusement of his audience, in this way: "Form erly I had no Desire to love, but now I have a Desire to love and I love freely." LlBFjL. The Grand Jury of Williamsburg, Va. found an indictment for libel against the editor of the Williamsburg Gazette, betau. s he had pub lished a card, over a responsible signiture, aud paid for as an advertisement, which related to a citizen of that place. The Judge dismissed the case, says the Norfolk Examiner, as uuworthy the attention of the Court. m Girl in Boy's Clothks. A young pirl, who gave her name as Jane Anderson, was arrested for being found in boy's clothes. She was brought before the Police Court, together with a young man, who answered to the name of Joseph Ander son, and claimed to be her half brother. She states that she has worn the toggery in which she aj -pcared in Court about three years, Bad that her has never before been discovered; that during that time she lap been employed upon the steamers on Lake Erie as cook, steward, etc., and only came west two or three days previous to her arrest, in search cf employment. She is about eighteen years of age, and with her hair cut short to her neck, close fitting cloth cap, frock coat, black pants and boots, looks the youngster of sixteen very well. She has a bright eye, and rather an intelli gent look, and although not disposed to talk much, aiiswt r- all questions civilly. She says that her parents, who are both dead, formerly resided in Buffalo, N. Y., and that that city is her home. She is hardly a fair specimen of the female por tion of the city of "ye gentle zephyrs." She claims the right to wear men's clothes if she likes, but says, if they arc determined to clothe her in fem inine habiliments, they must furnish her with an elaborate wardrobe. Cincinnati Time.

Whv, we seem to have put to death without mercy any mau who took side against us. For instance, a Rajah saved the life of Mr .Mitchell and other Europeans. But under compulsion, as he said, he aided the rebels. He was caught and hanged. I knew the family of an officer of the Bhopaul Contingent. They told me that when the Con tingent mutinied two hundred of them with gTcat difficulty saved the life of this gentleman and his brother officers, and also refused to march off and take arms with the mutineers. Well, Gen. arrived. And what did he do, but put to death these very two hundred men, on the ground that they had fought against their brethern ! And I heard Mr Layard give an account of their execu tion, which was heart-rending to hear. A friend of my own wrote home with glee how he had de stroyed eight villages. I reaa a letter from a soldier, who said that after a wholesale massacre of their prisoners, they flung the bodies in a pit, and covered them over. One of them recoved his senses, and came Avandering into the camp. lie was again shot the next morning. All about Delhi the head men of every village where the telegraph had been broken, were hanged, though they had no more to do with it than I had. Ml SOMETHING LIKE BUSINESS. If the rules of the British Parliament in regard to speeeh-ntakiug, could be introduced into the American Congress, the business of legislation would be much promoted, and the country would be relieved from the flood of aimless and useless talk with which it is every year inundated. We quote the Philadelphia Press: "There is only one speech on record, delivered in either house of Parliament at any time, which ever approached the longitudinal character of heavy Congress oratory, and that was delivered in the Commons, in 1828, by Henry Brougham, on the subject of the administration of the law, in which he exposed its abuses, and suggested all the principal reforms which have since beeu made. That speech occupied over six hours in delivery. O'Connell, Peel, Lord John Bussell, Palmerston, Roebuck, Cobden, Bright, and a few others, have made long speeches but these long ones are the exceptions. As a general rule, half an hour's speech is considered a very liberal allowance, aud that only to a first rate man.'' Whoever, of iuferior standing, should attempt to waste the public time by diffuseness, would be coughed down, or silenced by ridiculous cries of "Hear, hear." As for any man's reading what he may call a speech, that is entirely out of the question. In the first place, it is unparliamentary and the man who attempted it would be put down with cries of 'Order," on which the Speaker would have to tell the honorable member, fn the gentlest manner to "shut up." An extract from a book maybe read in a speech, or a statement of figures, but to read a speech itself is impossible. Of course, then, it is equally out of the question for m member of either hoSise to have an undelivered speech admitted as spoken, and so introdneed into the reported debates. . t What's in a Bkakd A Paris correspondent of the Courier des Etats Puis, tells, in substance, tbe following story, as one of recent occurrence : A young man of Lyons, engaged in commercial pursuits, had courted a young lady of that eity, and been acceyted b' her. With mueti difficulty he was persuaded by his parents to sacrifice, fbr the ceremony of betrothal, a fine and well cultiva ted beard. No sooner, however, did he present himself before his intended, than she grew pel, nearly fainted, and finally enticated her parents to postpone the ceremony. The young man yielded, rather surprised; but was still more so, a few days later, when the young lady's parents called on him to state that such was her present aversion to the marriage, they were forced to beg he would dis continue his suit. He consented; but, considering the matter a mere freak of girlish fancy, still entertained hopes, until he learned the cause of this sudden change. When quite a girl, the younp; hdy had horn led by one of her relatives to the scene of a public ex ecution, and the features of the criminal had left such iudelible traces on her mind, that the slight est circumstance was sufficient to bring them he fore her, as it were, in horrid reality. In the shaved visage of her suitor she recognized a strong resemblance to the executed criminal, sod soon felt that not even time could overcome her horror and disgust. SrAHLKTiNA asd Mkaslm. Mr. Witt, mem ber of the Royal College of Surgeons, has publish ed a pamphlet, in which he states that bicarbonate of ammonia is s specific for the cure of scarlet fe ver and measles. Ho cites Dr. Peart, of Liverpool and other practitioners, who have never lost a ease out of hundred since adopting this remedy. Two draehn.s of the bicarbonate of ammonia are dis solved in five ounces of water, and two tablespoon fuht of the solution gireo every two, throe, or four hours, according to the urgency of the symptoms, No acid drink must be taken, but ooly water, or toast and water. The system is to be moveu oy a do9e calomel if necessary. The room must be weU rentilated, but the pntient protected from tho gijghtest old or draft. Gargles suoqld also be employed for clearing the throat. The ammonia seems to counteract the poison whieh causes scar- letina, and also acts on the system by diminishing the frequency, and at the same time uacreastng the strength of the pulse. As so many children die from these diseases in the eountrv, this remedy ought lo reneire a fair trial from the profession.
