'If there boa real foundation for this science,
if observation can do anything, and has not done
all, there is room, for hope, aud reason for exer
tion. The extravagancies by which it has been
disgraced, ought to warn us of the difficulty,
without leading us to despair. To say there is
no path, because we have often got into the
wrong path puts an end to all other knowledge

THRILLING INCIDENT.
Yesterday morning, a the train was foing
out for Newark, a gentleman and lady were
walking before it upon the' track. The loco
Bftti squealed and they jumped across un
the other track but horror! Just ahead, was
another train, from Karon po, on this track, arid
the next moment would hurl diem into eternity.
They had no room on the outside of either
track, from the embankment and not know
ing which train would pasa first were almost
paralized! But the next moment the gentle
man seized the lady, who had nearly swooned
- placed heron the narrow walk between the
two tracks, embraced h.-r dreBs in hi circling
arms to keep the eoweitcher from hooking it
and thus awaited lln-ir fate. The two trains
passed them at the same moment, roaring nnd
thundering on, but neither the gentleman nor
Jy were injured more than an awful Iright.

HOW TO CURE THE CHOLERA.
The Savannah Republican, in giving an ac
count of the recent events in Cuba says:
It is a curious circumstance; and one well
worthy of mention; that the cholera disappear
ed in Havannah thn moment that the news
of the landing of ihe expediton wa received.
This ciiciiinitancs i well sustained by the
expericne ol all discipined armies in the field
on the eve of a baillo when the (irk list di
minishes rapidly. The excitement in Ha
vanna was in like manner, so great that not a
case of cholera was reported the day after the
arrival of the news.

THE APHIS, OR COCUS.
Thi term aphis, or e tcua, is applied to
great number of inserts, all of which pr y up.
on the sap of plant, and are therrfjrs more
or leu injurioui to revelation. The genuine
aphis ia a gregarious insect, herding together,
oftentimes, in prodigious number, on the limb
and loliae of various slturbs and plants.
The m;de in! only are fiiruiahed "with
wings, and their motion are alow and sluggish.
From their posterior extremity there project
two horn like tubes, and from which under
certain circumstances, they eject that peculiar
ly transparent and honey-like liquid, which is
so much admired and ought after by the ant.
Naturalists, who hare critically investigated
tli i character and habit of this inter, (ting in
sert, assert that the fluid is given out volun
tar ly at the solicitation of the ant, whose

This sin 'ular phenomenon may be witness

of ihs rrjcu" whilu atrbjert to thf intrusion of
the ants. The apple tree lotus Is generally
classed with the apht.i, yet it is not stnc.ly i

and to which belong the eochinecal insect.
while by I. inn cm it is. classed with the genus
Cocus. To the same tube belong also the
small insect, which produce the gall nut, and
that which depred ites so extensively on the
apple tree, and which are recognized by their
scale-like lorm and appearance when attached
to the ires or plant to which they permanent

to ' firmly ggTfinted: fcrwte removed with
considerable difficulty, Wilaon has remark
ed that the oviposi'.ion of the eggs is to he re
garded as the greatest peculiarity in the his
tory of these insects.
" Though excluded from the body," say a
distinguished naturalist, "the eggs do not ap
pear externally, but are made to pas beneath
the abdomen, and between it and the cotton
tapestry before alluded to. (The apple tiee
cocus, of the common kind, has no cotton,
though the I inata has.) In proportion as the
insect becomes empty, the lower surface of
the abdomen approches the tipper one, so as
to fia.'e betieaih the biidv'," an arch, or recep
tacle for the eggs. The perfect female never
stirs a step in the course of her life, but hav
ing laid her eggs, she die, and her body
shrivels up and h miens, and thus forms a pro
tection arid covering (ir the incipient youn:.
These are soon, hatched, work their way from
beneath the dead body of their parnt m ik

of the shell."
When first developed, these iiisocta are too
diminutive to be seen by the naked eye. . They
gr .dually however, advance to the sc?ne of
their future l.ibors, which is the Siitt and Ripid
wood ol Uio previous , year a gruwUi,..aud
where they attach themselves, gui 'rally be

they enlarge by additions which arfl mjre

"I h ive had," iy a late writer, "an op
portunity this spring, aiiletl by a powertul
microscope, of observing the manner in which
Uie hng effeee4 thm by tlw se

the- egg to the numbertf fifteen or twenty
lie sule under the shell of the dead cocus,
and may at any tun? be observed by (crap

Their hatching is of course gready dependant
on the temperature, but by the first of May, in
this latitude, (New York.) some of them will
begin to exhibit signs of vitality. By detach
ing some of the shell on the first of May, we

WHAT CAN BE ' DONE ON A N ACRE
.. . . . ..OF GROUND. ---
Ths editor of th tho Mains Cultivator pub
lished, a few day ago, hi managem ent of one
acre of ground, from which w gather the fol
low in results: : ' 4 '
One-third of an acre In eom usmlly pro
duces, thirty bushel of sound eornfor grind
ing, hssides soma reh. I hi quantity
. i'h.:ioui lor tain Iv us.-, and lor iaueumrf uu
lam or two imall' hoc. From Iht same
'rrojnd he obtained two or threw hundred
pumpkin; and hi family upply of beam
Fnro bed of six rod square, he utu.illy ob
tained sixty bushels of onion these h had
old at ou dollar per bushel and the amount
purchased hi flour. Thus, from ouelhird
of an acre and an onion bed be obtained hi
bread amfla. The test of the ground waa ap
propriated to all aort. of regeuble. for turn-
mmr an S M, i n Inr h,. rrt ,lnv kaaia mmhiim
msr and, winter nse; potafoaa, beets, parsnips,
cabbage, green corn, peas, beans, cucumbers.
melons, equashe, Sic; with fifty or ats.
ty bushel of beet and carrot for the food of
a cow.
Then he had id so a flower garden, r is berries,
currants, and gooseberries, in great variely ;
and a few clioice apple, pear, plum, cherry,
pe ich anil quiuce tree. If a family can be
supported from one acre of ground in Maine,
the same can be done in every btate and coun
try in tho Union.
FACTS IN BUILDING.
One fact i, that a aquare form secures more
room with a given cost for outside walls,
than any other rectangular figure. Great
length and little width may afford convenient
rooms, but at an increased expenccs.
Another fact is, that ventilation is in essen
tial in a-hum in dwelling. No oth'r consider
ation should exclude thi. The halls,, win
dow, and doors should be so situated with re
gard to each other, that a full draught of air
can be secured, at any time, in the rammer
season, by day and night through the whole
house. The stories should also be sulficienl-
ly high to afford a sufficiency of air in all
tiwwcflrirfviiierfew
lower rooms, and eight for upper. BeJ
rooms should also be larger than they com
monly are. Great injury to health is
the result of sleeping in small close apart
ments. The third fact is, that, a step roof
will not only jhjul .rain.nd snow Jar- bet
ter than a flat one, but will mar immensely
longer. f
The fourth fact is, that a chimney in or
near the centre of the building will aid to warm
the whole house, while if built at one end or.
aide, the heat will be thrown out and lost.
The fifth, fact is, thit a door openine from
the outside into any principal room, without
the intervention of a hall or passage, costs
much more thin it saves, in die free ingress of
air into it.
The si xth fact is, that the ns? of paint is
the bat economy, in the preservation it affords
to all wood work. " " "
The seven h fact is, that if the front door is
mule at one aide instead of the middle of
the front, a partition will he saved and for
mall Iiojsos hive the main door and lobby in

SUGAR PLANTATION IN FLORIDA.
-Tlie.Jst.'Angustiae AtieientCitv sayc "The
result of tho past years' operation in ug ir
planting in Florida have demonstrated beyond
qnestion the fertility of our lands, the favor.ible-
n?3s of our clim ite, and the superior quality of
the article produced. 1 wo to three hogshead
per acre h ive been in several instances and up
on considerable bodies of land produced; The
opinion of those well qualified to judge i that
an average of two hogsheads per, acre may bo
relied upon, and the estimate of molasses added
is stated to bo $35 to $40 per acre. The
favorableness of the climate m ty be presumed
from the fact di.it all of East Florida is South
of tti3 ugar growing portions of Louisiana, and
in' fact' a great portion bftt below the region of
trnst. i he quality ol the article produced de
pen I upon the quality of the juice and its
proper manufacture: when properly manufac
tured we have heard of no instance where an
inferior quality has resulted But we hare in
Florida nothing of the expensive improvements
and splendid machinery of Louisiana, but with
ihe most ordinary processes, with hide experi
ence, our sugar planter are producing a good
article.
"STUFF A COLD AND STARVE A FE

There are few proverbs more common than
the above relating to the treatment of colds.
The editor of the Edinburgh Journal say, he
"never property undeistood the proverb unlit
a professional' friend explained it to be a brief
way of saying 'Stuff a cold and you will have

WIRE GRASS.
It ia said that this bane to farm 3rs and gardea-

where and on any soil Th only objection
to it is that it is almost inexterminabte where
ones it get a fair start. Savers! ton of hay
may bs raised annually from an acre, when
proporly managed; and instead of impoverishing
tho land, it seem to Impart a fertility by the

GEN,. LOPEZ, THE CI BAN PATRIOT.
From a very tang and difl"i aem -unt of the
life of General Lnpes, (says the Wilmington
Journal which appeared in the New Orleans
Delta of ihs 10th nnd 1 1th Insu. w have con
densed the following aketch of a career which
Mbrcughi to a point by the enterprise n Co
ba which now attract so moch attention.

in 1788 or 9, la Venesueli, and is now a lit
son that grew to manhood, though ha had nu
merous sister, tie waa trained to th sau
die, as to ihe eutom in South America. Hi
father being obliged by eir it disturbance to re
remove to Caracea, where entered upon
eotamereial life, his son Nsrciso superintended
branch of the Knure at Valencia, in Ihe in
erior. Here, during the troubles of Bolivar's
time in 1814, young Lopes took a prominent
part on the popular side, and narrowly escap
ed from massacre. At length when reduced
almost to desperation, he enlisted in the ar
my, a hi only chance for life. At the end
of the war between Spain and the insurgents,
Lopes found himself a colonel, at the age of
S3. He had a!ao received thi cross of San
Fernando, as a furthi r fwrd tor rsrimis gal

tion ol theeountry ny tne spanisn army, vol.
Lopez returned to Cuba. '
Since that time, (183,) Lnpes ha been a
Cuban, having married and established him
sell in the island. He was known to be pos
sessed of liberal principles, which prevented
him from obtaining office in the island, and
thu remained in retirement. During the first

guished himself on the government aide; war
made aid-de-camp to the Commander-in-
Chief, Gen. Valdex, and received several
military decorations. He became the warm

the most popular Captain. General of Cuba,

During all this period or favor with the royal
ist party ,it i raid that he remained faithful
to his democratic principles; and though ca
ressed by the Queen, Mother Christina, he
despised and distrusted her.
On the insurrection which ended in the
expulsion of Christina from the regency, Lo
pes was made Governor of Madrid, a post
which ha held until Eapartero became regent,
when he positively refused to hold it, in spite
of the solicitations ot Espsrtero. A Senator
of the Kingdom, from the Liberal city of Sev
ille, he studied the politics and iinuiuiioiis ol
Spain, and then first learned the condition of
Spanish colonies, and especially the oppress
ions under which Cuba, the country' ol hi a

into the room, armed, and nude n desperate

an armed defence on the part of Uie audience.
The lecturer waa conveyed to hia lodgings in a
cab, under the protection of hia friends. A
great public meeting wa immediately held, and
the right of speech effectually vindicated. The
excitement in St. Louis, growing oat of thi
affair, was intense. It appear from an article

the guidance of the prietthood in ihe confes-

direct and emphatic lie was given to him, and
the attack on Mr, Loahey justified upon the
score that he was worthy of death who reca ri

People, however, were not satisfied. Some
thought Mr. Leahey had not gonu quite ao far.
hue other upheld him outright, alleging that
Roman Catholics ought to be the laat to com
plain, sines Mr. I eahey had only read ex-
tracts from their own books. At this stare it
was proposed lo send a committee lo make en
quiries of the Bishop. The Bishop met litem
in a very courteous manner. lie eouKT not re
ceive them as a committee; as gentlemen, how
ever, its would reeeive their visit. In relation
to ihe books, he aaid those of Mr. Leahey were
the lame as those published by Bishops Ken

were written for the exclusive benefit of the
clergy, and not designed for circulation. He
mnreoversud he heldtdiem lobe ofa high mor

to deliver a series of lecture upon the subject
of the Confessional, to vindicate and explain its
character and importance."
