.Mention Ijeing one day attracted to certain spots
on hef hind parti, formed by the meeting of the
hair, and where dandruff existed, the thought oc
curred to him that there were probably external
marks on cdwa whereby their fc-oed qualities or
defects might be known, just aa we judge of the
vital force of a plant and its qualities by means
of ft leaves and lines on its akin. Hia tow was
a good milker, and thenceforward he wa in the
hab4 of comparing other cow with her as a
standard. 'No fatigue waa too great for-bim in
the prosecution of these comparison, lie often
travelled leagues lb 'examine a single cow, attd
would astonish the owner by accurately prOnounc-,
ins upon her qualities. . . ,
In the course of the.comparison thus instituted
by him with reference to the dandruff alone, he
had occasion to remark that great diversities ex.
hted amongowe in respect to the afcawof the
spots or quirlf which produced the dandruff
This ujested a new train of reflections and ob
servations' whicrferesulted in the discovery, that
ihtihapes of these flutrk were the signs by which
to distinguish cows, and to know the good ami
bad qualities of every individual among them.
M. Guenon soon became absorbed entirely in
these investiealions. He pave up hia calling and
iraferiod abroad visiting cattle-markets, fairs,
cow-stables, &c.
In 1&, he began to deal in cattle on hiiown
account, and thus had brought under hia observa
tion a great number and variety of cows from all
quarters, from Switzerland, Holland. Brittany,
I'oitou, &c, &c For seveji or eight years he
rw incessantly engaged in establishing wder
among his observations, and a classification
founded upon the shape or outline of the different
marks. "At length, in 1828, he addescJ to the
Academy at Bordeaux a reiucst that Ins itietuou
should be examined and reported upon.
-Trials were accordingly made under the super.,
iptendence of a Committee o! the Academy, with
the care and uude the precautions iiecegaary for
precluding all collusion. The cows used for the
purpose beiongedto three different herds, and the
result was to establish to the satisfaction of the
tfornoiitteo, that M. Uuenon really possessed great
sagacity ,in that line, hut so long M he kept his
method a secret, it could nut be judged of nor re
warded by the Academy.
. Hers- the mutter rested for some time. M.
Guenon did,-nt. make, up his mind to give his
secret to the public, but persevered in his ob
eervationg and experiments in order to perfect his
discovery.
In 1837, "the Agricultural Society of. Bordeaux
determined to aecertain for itself what reality
4here might be in the system. A committee was
appointed for.Che purposes, -and the experiments
made intheir presence left no doubt on their minds
as to the certainty of ike method of M Guenon.
Intheir report the conmiilteealateihat they spent
.several days in visiting a number of pasture fields,
situated in localities tlrat differed from each other,
in orderthat the experiment might be made upon
animals of different breed, and under varying
circumstances! Upwards of sixty cows a nit
heifers were examined, and the committee de
clare that every statement made by M. Guenon,
with respect to each of them, whether it regarded
the quantity of milk, or t! tinw during which thu
cow ontiuuw) M give aailk after beiitg got with
Mlf, or finally, the quality of the milk as being
more or less creamy or serous-, was confirmed, and
its accuracy fully established.
A second trial tcok place, in which the method
waa subjected to another teat through M. Guenon
and tis brother. The coromitee, availing them
seea of the presence of the latter, caused the
same cows to be examined by the two brothers, '
but separately, ao that after a cow had been in
spected, and her qualities, as indicated by the
signs in question, had been pronounced upon by
one of the brothers, he was made to withdraw ;
then the other brother, who had kept aloof, was
called up and desired to state the qualities of the
same animal. The result of this test, say the I
' committee, was absolutely decisive the judg,
meats of the brothers according not only perfect
y together, but also with all that was said by the
proprietors in regard to the qualities, good or bad,
of every animal subjected to this examination.
The, committee pronounce the system of M.
Guenon infallible.
After the reading of the report of the committee
the society decreed that a gold medal be awarded
to M. Guenon that he be proclaimed a member
of the. Society that fifty copies of hit work on
Milch Cows be subscribed for and that a thou
sand copies of the report be printed for the use of
the Agricultural Societies ol France.
Similar experiments, and with similar results,
were made utider the supervision of the Agricul
tural Society of Aurillac. Each cow was ex
amined separately by M. Guenon, who wrote his
notes ppon her, and delivered the paper, closed,
to one of the .committee. Immediately, after,
another member of the committee questioned the
owner of the cow, or the person in charge of her,
in regard to her daily yield oT nil Ik, its quality and
. the time the continued to give milk after being
got With calf. The answers were taken down in
. writing, and then compared, with the notes of M.
Guenon. The result was such as to satisfy the
committee that his method rested oo sure founda
tion. An incident occurred to confirm the com
mittee in this opinion. A farmer played the
trick of bringing up for examination a. cow that
had already been examined and pronounced upon.
The notes written by M.Guenon on this occasion,
accorded, in ,every respects . with those he had
written pa the former.
They conclude Ijieir report by recommending
- tat a gold medal b awarded to M. Guerion
that he i be. proclaimed a correcponding member

' LIFE INSURANCE. . j
The great importance -of this aiibject to the
community at large, lias not been duly apprecia
ted. Although many persons are now awaken,
ed to the advantagea and even necessity of in
suring their' lives, there are yet thousands
who perhaps bestow aeither ibougiit nor atteu
4 ion upon the matter. .
We consider it a duty which every man, and
every man and woman oponhom others are
dependant, to procure a life policy, to as large, an
amount their income will poxsibly permit thera
to pay for. .
Tjifj system of Life Insurance, is Bothing mora
than a mutual benefit system, whereby the living
provide for the friends of the dead.4 Every pru.
dent merchant deems it absolutely necessary to
protect himself and hia creditors front 168808 a
gainst fire ; yet they generally overlook the in
surance of their own lives," which is equally, if
not more necessary! for the protection of their
fa'milis. We look upon it as more important.
when we cohs'yfer the bbligations under whwh
every man lives, lo his family aud dependants.
As long as a man has Ins lire and neann, ne
may be supposed to be able to protect himself
and his family from the evil, of poverty aiid mis
fortune. But as most men are loo poor lo die,
they are bound to save their families and depen
dants from the results of loss of health aad long
of life. This can be easily accomplished. t The
commendable order of Rechabhes, now so gener
ally established in large cities, enable a man
who contributes twenty-five cents per week, to
realize, in rase of sickness, enohgh lo support
himself for a long period; while the payment of
twenty or thirty dollars per annum, to a'Life In
surance Company; will insure his family at his
death, a suflicieiil sum ta make them-comfortable.
A case has occurred within a few' days past,
which illustrates the subject at once. A cflizen
of Boston, in perfect health, insured his life on
the 23d day of January, 184(3, for two thousand
dollar, in one of the Wall street offices, of which
the following letter w a detail :
' Boston, Tthruary 10. IS 1(5.
"To iNsiHANct Company, New York.
" I .presume you have noticed in the Allae of
ill is morning, tho sudden death of . It
is the same gentleman whose policy is dated
January 25th, for tWOOO,. fur iife. I did not get
the news of his death in season, to write you last
evening. His wfTe was about to be confined, and
he got up and went for the doctor, and soon after
went to the south end for his sister. While there,
he took a chair, sat down, and spoke, very cheer
fully a few moments. While she was-gone to
light a lamp, she hoard hint breathe very singu
larly, and on her returnahe found him dead. He
waa a remarkably healthy man, and never had a
severe disease in his life- lie has been examined
by four or five physicians, and his Jungs and
heart appear perfectly sound. No cause can be
found but the goinjj outof a hot bed intii tho cold
air. His wife is left with five children, and very
poor." '
His prospect of life for years to come was as
good and perhaps hotter than that of ninety-nine
oat of everv hundred uereons ; and as Ions as life'
continued, his family was sure to be supported
But his death occurred within thirty dnys of
the issue of the policy, and without one hour's
warning. His family" is now in possession of the
ftinii guaranteed to them in case of his death.
Not even a delay of aixty days is allowed to
elapse before they reallzelhe amount of the
policy, say $'2000 ; and tliis'fund', to a family who
would otherwise be in want, ti a large fortune.
N.Y. Paper.
CONDITION AND PUOSPECTS OF TEXAS.
In the valedictory address of the Hon. Anson
Jones, late President of Texas, delivered before
its Legislature on the transition of that Republic
into a S'.ato of American-Union, he thus speaks
of the preset) t condition aid prospects Of the new
State:
I am happy to congratulate you, gentlemen,
upon the universally prosperous condition of our
country at the present time. Our foieign rela
tions have all been closed in, a manner satisfacto
ry, 1 believe, to all trie Governments with which
we have had intercourse- The frontier js quiet
and secure, arid the husbandman sows- and reaps
his fiejdirin peace. Industry and enterprise has
received new guaranties and a new impulse; a
market ts found at home for nearly every thing
our citizens have to dispose of, and a large and
very desirable immigration to the country is how
laKirj? piace. j ne expenses ot the uoi emment
since 1 have been in office have all .been paid in
an undepreciated currenry : a very considerable
amount of debt incurred by previous adrninistra-
Hons have been paid cS : and a surplus of avail
able means sufflciebt to defray the expenses of
tue.uoverninent, economically administered, for
t0 years at least, is left at the disposition of
the btate ; and I venture thebeqef that,, without
resort to taxation, the public domain, if properly
husbanded and disnoaeiloL will raise a fand suf
ficient to liquidate the entire national debt upon
equitable principle,, besides providingforthc fu

as Texas .possesses, characterized, as it. -is with

plished the down fall of the British throne, and
she should yield up spear and shield and trident
at our feet, it" w ould be to ns the most disastrous
event that rould-happen. 1 do not allude-to the
ravages and desolations of warfare ; to the occa-
eions uf bood that must flow, and the various mis
eries that ever accompany the contest jf anus ;
because I never observed that -the statemenl of
lheo things had any great effect upon brave
people. Nodoubt, the evils would bo very great
tiecause thpre are no two nations in the world,
who can do each other so much hami in war, ur
so much good in peace, as Great Britain and the
United Ktates and Groal Britain. The dejvasta-
-lion would be tremendous on both sides. But all of
this goes for nothuig, for all this mny be repaired.
The" indomitable industry, and -enterprise, and
perseverance of our wide4y spread and, still
spreading Slid-multiplying population, will soon
find ways, and means of repairmg whatever merely
physical disasters war oan intliet. But war has
far heavier inflictions ior a free people ; it works
a social end -political change h lbs people them
Ftilveti, and in the character of their institutions.
A war such as this, will be of vast extent ; every
nervt and muscle on either sido will be strained
to the utmost; every commandable dollar will
be pdt in requisition ; not a portion of our entire
frontier but will become the scene f contest. It
will be a Mexican war on one side, and an Indian
war upon the other, its flame. willbe all around
us; it .will boa war on the Pacific and a war on
tlie Atlantic ; it will rage on. every aide, and fill
the land. Suppose Oregon shall be abandoned, we
muit raise 7 armies and 2 navies ;we must raise
and equip an army agajust the Mexican ; and
let no man sneer at the mention of that Power,.
Under the guidance and training of British offi
cers, the Mexican populature can be rendered a
formidable enemy. See what Britain has made
of the feeble Sepoys of India. The Mexicans are
a 'btaver-and a hardier pnple, and they will torm
the cheapest of all annie. Wth good training
and good pay, thev may be rendered a very for
midable force. Then we must have another army
to guard our Southern frontier, and another to
protect our Northern frontier, and another to
operate on' our Northeastern -boundary, and still
another to cover our Indian frontier. - At the
least estimate, we shall require a-force-of not less
than two hundred thousand meq in the field. In
addition to that, the venerable and intelligent
Albert GaCIatin'pss calculated the tost. of such
a war at sixty-five in Jliohs of dollars; but that
amount is too small. A hundred millions is not
an over-estimate", and of this sum, fifty millions
must be raited annually, by loans or paper 'r so
that, -allowing tho war to continue for teri years,
we shall have an amount of five hundred millions
of public debt'. Add to this, the losses w hich
must accrue on loans-: ,it wilt be very 'ju'cuK to
get these loans negotiated in Europe ; for; owing
(o the unfortunate inannerin whiclnhis affair has
been conducfed, -the feeling in Europe will be
gerfferSlly against us. We cannot obtain the
requisite uiua under an" interest of thirty aud
forty per cent.- Add ail ' these expense, aud- pur
total debt will not be less than seven hundred
and fifty millions." , . ; 1
