He then paints in vivid colors, the
poisonous serpent, with “graceful coil

swaying bough, from which tho light
hearted songster, unconscious of harm,
fills the forest with its delightful melo

to the ourth, a prey to its venomous

A French amateur, In tho Paris Hor
ticultural Review states:
“About a v <5ftr ago, I made a bargain
for a rosubusli of magiiiftc.ent growth,
and full of buds. I waited To? tlwrn to
bloom, and I expoctod roses wortfiy cf
such a noble plant, and ot the praise be
stowed upon it by tlio vendor. At
length when it bloomed, all my hopes
wern blasted. Tho Howors were of n
faded color, and 1 discovered that I had
only a middling multitlora stnlo colored
enough. I, therefore, resolved to sac
rifice b to somo experiments which I
had in view. My attention had boon
captivated with the effects of charcoal,
as stated in some English publications.
I then covered tho earth (in tho pot in
which my rosebush was) about half an
inch deep with pulverized charcoal.—
Some days aftor, I was astonished to
sots tho ros**s which bloomed, of as flno
alivoly rose color us I could wish. I de
termined to repeat tho experiment, and
therefore, when tho roso bush had done
flowering, I took off tho charcoal ami
put fresh earth on tho pot. You may
conceive that I waited forthonoxt spring
impatiently to soo the rasuit of this ex
periment. When it bloomed, tlio roses
wore ns nt first palo and discolored; but
by applying charcoal as before, they
soon resumed their rosy red color. I
tried the powdered charcoal likewise In
large quantities upon petunias, and
found tuutboth the white and violet
flowers were equally scnsil>lo to its ac
tion. It always gave great vigot to the
red or violet colors of tho flovvors, and
tho white petunias became veined with
red or violet tints Tho violets (color

{©•The following from tho Charles
ton Mercury aro views wo havo long on-
tertained.
According to our view, tho true antag
onism hot ween the United States and
Great Britain exists between the North
and that country. Tho uinmifucturing
and commercial interests uf the North
enter into competition with British in
terest* of the same kind, and under thn
system of Protective Tariffs and Ship
ping-Bounties tho rivalry redounds to
tho benefit of the North and tint disad-
ant age of Great Britain. The South is
the customer, for whose custom and
business both compote. Doubtless
there are many blind «ti«l ruthless fan
atics enlistod in tho cause of abolition
in Great Britain ns there arc at tho
North. Doubtless there aro cold-blood-
od calculators amongst tho statesmen
of that country, who, having wretchedly
failed in their estimate of African char
acter and their effort to multiply the
tropical productions of her Wost Indian
Colonies by tlio supposed stimulus of
fiecing the slavos, now desire to bring
the rival States or the South to the
same level of unproductivenoHs, accom
panied by a docrua.se of relntivo power
and independence. With these classes,
of courso, abolition nml the ruin of tlio
South are tho ends sought. But tho
real, controlling statesman of Groat
Britain have moro practical and larger
views than th«*se. They uso this ques
tion with a view to practical intcresU
chiefly. They edge on Northorn people
to their own ruin and the bonefit or
Britain. It is done with a selfish pur
pose and to accomplish an end—a sepa
ration of tho manufacturing ntid com
mercial North from tho agricultural
South. Tho interests of tho South and
and Great Britain aro mutual and coin
cident. She wants our cotton, rice, to
bacco, Ac., for her own use, and sho
wants to sell us in exchange tho manu

The HARPRR'*}FtRRr Imvistuiation.—
According to tho Now York Herald'*
Washington correspondent, the tostl-
raon of Roalf, en Saturday, was as fol
lows:
He testified that Senator Wilson
wrote a letter to Dr. IIowo, in 1857 or
1858, stating that ho learned from Mr,
Forbes that Brown was about to mako
a raid in some of the Southern States
for the purpose of liberating slavos, and
that he would use money furnished him
by parties in Massachusetts for his Kan
sas work to aid him iu his now project;
and that in his (Wilson’s) opinion it was
madness in Brown to attempt such a
thing, and that ho (Howe) must with
druw all moans flirnlshed, or intended
to be misapplied in the manner indica
ted by Forbes.
. Realf testifies that Howe sent a copy
of Wilson’s letter to Brown informing
tho latter that the arms and money
which had been furnished him for the
protection of the settlors of Kansas,
would be withdrawn in consoquenco of
the revelations made by Forbes through
Wilson; that Brown became enraged
and abandoned his plan for a while,
but some timo subsequently pursued
•ome pro-slavery men into Missouri, and
cartiea back with him soveral slaves.
