In n recent Issue iif the Tfixpnlch i- '. was noticed that the Choate farm, near Norfolk a., had been sold i,, a ,arV ,,t- t;,.lI).,ll,Ji and thjit an estaldishmeul of what is known as the American Fibre Company was to be erected thereon f',,r the purpose of blowing the cane which abounds in the southern j South on tin- prosj.ect of tl is new mauufiic ' ture, of which it will become the seat. The I cane, from which the fibre can Iw made in I any ipmutity required by the wants of the j world, js the spontaneous growth of the swamps and lowlands of the Southern ; States. The patentees of that product, to be known very extensively hereafter in com- inerce as tlie enue H ie, lave senuiva.oy their intents the monopoly of both the arti cle itself and the peculiar profess of its man ufacture. They have made up their minds t iat it will be most profitable to them to set up their works at Norfolk and Richmond aud Baltimore, and probably Petersburg, and to go into the business to an extent that know no limit but the demand. It is there fore a business that will soon amount to tweuty. fifty, or a hundred millions of dol lars per annum. The patentees are solid men, and intend to keep control of the whole affair themselves, by their agents, but pos sibly allowing some of the manufacturing of the articles from fibre to he done by persons engaging to pay n royalty. "No doubt that in the cities of the North as now r.t St. Louis, factories for .making all manner of articles will be established; but the southern States can add to their cotton staple another new article of commerce which bids fair to be only semd to it. and not unworthy jof such a distinguished asso ciate. Cheap fibre cheaper than cotton. adapted to coarser uses---is a desideratum of the age And came is tlie mo-t anumlHrn. cheap, and inexhaustible source of supply. The process of converting c.nuot possibly be superseded, for it is efficient aud ex ueditious, reouring very little labor and no chemicals nor dewy. It is the expectation of the nate-iteea thnt they have monopolized not oulyau article for papemiaking, to lie used in alLefdiunry cases, but also for houses and shins, which, it is claimed, can be built Slighter, tighter, and stronger, than iu any other way. They make the same claim lor buckets, barrels, tubs, and for furniture, and even for clothing itself, They an nocuee that iu consequence of their inven tion, which 'they say is the first example on record of the mouoply of any new material of extensive use. the whole mamrfoetnre of paper-box hoard and common wrapping pa per will be transferred from the North to the South. They say jn oue of their circulars that Richmond onght. and probably soon uHll, in consequence of their invention, be come of more impurtance than Lowell as a manufacturing city. "It is claimed tl at straw makes too hard a paper, but mixed with a little cane fibre the paper is soft and flexible ; indeed, that "the mixture of straw a caiir" pulp IS the thing just right. Everyday de elopes s;me Lew feature of the invention. It has recent ly been discovered that the cane can be re duced to fibre at an actual cost of three dol lars a ton for all expenses, and that iu most cases a ton of fibre costs less than a ton of timber. The fibre is easilv mixed with clay zzrtxinz: mm- ' into t, armr Utah,-ori panels ; and that with powdered slate and coal tar it will make au iucoinbdtlible roof which will be both tire and water-). roof. It will make excellent clapboards; and not only roofs, but floors, outer and inner walls and ceilings may lw produced from the cane fibre. All these can be put up in winter as well as summer, and the house made ready for immediate occupation. There is no warping, cracking, or shrinking; and-a house of extra comfort can be bui t for half the ordinary cost; so that there will be cheap houses for the millions. Ships aud steamers can also be couslructed for a grat deal leas money from this cheap material, aud they will last much longer than the wooden ones, and defy the dry rot. the ivor. .is. and destruction hv fire The twin i nroiluctsof the South, cotton and caue. if i.r.mertv managed, will bring back to her 4 greater prosperity than ever ; for which she has our beat wishes and heartiest congratu lations."

From Ike Rural American. HOW TO MAKE GOOD FARMERS. Tills subject has often been discussed. Vari ous . .pinion- have been offered, some of which are very good, others quite inferior, I propone to make a few suggestions for the benefit of the readers of the Rural. There are thousands of farmers in the world who Hunk iiotlimn; I .ii t physical strength is re- 'I'ii , in noon lunucrs. vt iin sucli men farming is neither more nor less than simple ..ii-e iiruugvry, anu yel mere is no human pur suit so intimately connected with every depart ment of science. It is thi, erroneous and most pernicious impression which hits degraded agri cultural punuiu in the estimation of so manv, and has driven thousand of intelligent ami pro mising ontig men from their homes in the conn- fre I,, (tin .....1 BSC ' . ttfl Ml wy uiiqi miu io nun. w lu-n will lamicr hs (O I tit trili iliirtiitv ,.1' tlw.; !:... 9 A 1 . i-tjiiii , j LrvY tsappretiti. ,-.! r. r years to enable him lo acquire UulliiwakUI to make a coat, a -Im. . , a hat, "Ul i-u-ineni are supposed to he born such. We very seldom mm a man, whatever his early ed ucation may have been, who docs not feel bim- sen perfectly competent to manage a farm. It requires years of i.repariitory stud v to fit a voung man for uny of wjiat arc denominated the learn ed professions. To become a lawyer, a phvsi eian or a clergyman, he miist devote four or five vcars in the colleges, passing over bis books and listening to lectures. All this is well In fact it is indispensary mwssarv ; butanvthing in the sliape of ahumau being, who lias sufficient physical strength to enable him to hold a plane, wield a scythe,, or harness a horse, is. considered enough for a farmer. Why is this? Can it be supposed when rigidly considered, that such men without mental culture, can make "the princi ples and discoveries of some of the most on.l'oiiml and complex of human sciences, bear upon ihe diversified and multitudinous nracliees ,,1' suri- cdlture r I would not oe understood as sup IMisiug this applies to all fanners. Fortunately for our country, theie are, among the cultivators of the soil, a very large number of very sensible and intelligent men who would honor any pro fession. My remarks arc designed to have ref erence only to the too generally prevalent opin ion that agricultural pursuits" demand nought but broad shoulders and strong arms. This error, I am glad to know, is now being rapidly dissipated. For this blessing, we owe a cultural teaching is beginmng to assume its imt i. lace iii our institution of learning. pro-l'ar- Mem are awakening lo ihe met thai au iulelli- gtnt mind is a far betlir director or a strong arm than a mind upon which the light of edu cation has nut shed its beneficent rays. They are beginning to appreciate the great importance ol familiarizing themselves with the science of agriculture a. well as with the mere art, for it i. a si lence. 1 hey are lieginning to realize uie necessity of understaiidihg the "prim rples which underlie the. sagpfe as well as the practice, These are enP'ing truths. It gives bright hopes for the future of our country. It is lo be hoped lliat the day is not very far distant whin all our farming inu rc.is will be greatly improv ed. Wc may yet possibly see the time when ev ery department of the science will be sfliciently understood and the necessity of each being suf ficiently studied to make all our farmers better n.'quainted with the biisiuess so that it may lie conducted with infinitely more east, and success. lAt the" importance of respecting the science and make it a study, then, be encouraged. The good work has begun. By all means let it be pressed vigorously on. To every farmer I would urge the vast importance of making handsome out lavs of their means in order to provide their cliildren.with the necessary books and means of instruction to store their minds with valuable n.rrieiiltural information. If this course was pursued farmers' sons would become intelli agriculturalis-ts aud useful citizens. Far: A Cmioi's Meixx. Tlie wondrs pertainMg to organized structures arc not confined to ani mals, but there are many plants whose form, in stincts, and capabilities are mo-i curious and m teresting. In a tract of country in ihe south western part of Africa, distinguished for its dry but rich soil, a gigantic .crenitial melon has 1m en discovered, which is amoSwIicious, whol.-'.n.r fruit, and wliich is largellOaHsmncd by the ae- tive inhabitant as to.sl. livorxier tnai uus mel on thav flourish it is- nteessary that it should strike its roots down-through the sand thirty leet to reach permanent molsjUire. This it does, and grows in great luxuriance where all elseisshriv elled and part lied bv heat. But this is not all. If it were simply a huge melon, with smooth and delicate skin, every one would be destroyed by wild beasts before half matured. To prevent this, Nature has armed its outer rind with a cov ering of long, sharp terrible thorns, which so la cerate the mouths and noses of animals that they are glad to leave them alone in all their tempt ing freshness. Man, with his hands and sharp knives, finds little diflicidty in opening the lus cious fruit. The natives have no necessity for putting fences about their melon patches, r the plants are self-protective. The Episcopal Church in Irkj-and The most important religious news we have re ceived from England for a long time is the an nouncement that the Irish bishops (we presume of course) of the Protestant Episcopal Church, although it is not so expressed, have resolved that a general synod shall assenibly at an earlv day, in which the laity as weU as the clergy shall be' represented, and also to convene ihe provin cial synods to consider local changes liM-essary to Is?

So long as the church was an establishment connected with the government, Parliament and the Queen retained in their own hands the entire power lo regulate its affairs. T"he bishops were members of theHouse of Beers for that reason ; but with the disestablish mcnt of the church in Ireland and the cessation of the right of Irish bishops to seats in the House, the church in Ireland resumes its right to self-government, and therefore its synods will he imnortant bodies.

Two weeks ago. this gentlemen being fa, his usual health predicted approaching earthquakes and disaster ot the most tremendous character, and concluded his revelation by the announcement that thev would know him to be a tree prophet from this, that he himself, would certainly die exactly at four o clock on Thumlav, Julv 22.

In the Philippine Islands, where it is older, the Chinese anil their race are mix ed ; they are proprietors of most of the lands in the country, and the natives, less intelligent, sinking into the working population. The Cbi nvxe usually marry when and where they can find wive. In the East Indies they have inter married with the Malays and the Tagals, and iu the Sandwich Islands they wed with the Kana kas, though the latter are" professed Christians. In Peru they arc settling in considerable num bers, and well were it for every State of South America if the ( hin. se would come with their industry and love of order. If they find their way into the Southern States, cither the negroes will have to quit work or become more capable and industrious. A. True Ssake S-roitY.-On the Fourth of Julv last one of Wardwell's "peto" whUe on a little excursion into the country, came upon a a large moccasin snake, which he succeeded in capturing. He gave it to one of the guards. He caged the reptile and tried to domesticate it Five weeks liave elapsed, and during that time thesnake, although apparently in first-rate health has not taken a morsel bf food of any kind. She has, however, within a few days past, astonished her keeper by giving birth to forty two young ones, which are now alwe and mprnting. The youngsters are as lively as crickets, and may oc casionally be seen in squads of a doaen or so at a time going down the throat of the fend "pari ent," either as a refuge from danger, or perhaps to take their meals in some incomprehensible manner. The ercntlcman having this happy family in charge has been at a loss to know what to feed them .with, aud has not as yet found anything that they relish. A day or two ago a live frog was put'inlo the cage, and it was hard' to lell whether fn or suake was the more frightened. A mouse was then put in, but this venture was still more unsuccessful, for the mouse created a panic among the little ones by devouring two of their number, notwithstanding the victim wa eight inches long and armed wit tlie sharpest of venom pointed fdhgs.
