Mkthyl Violrt on Wool.---For 10 pounds of wool boil 1 ounce of methyl violet in a soap hath prepared by boil ing 1 pound of washing houii, anil dye the articles at 358 degrees. To produce a bluer shade, first dye iu a lmth of methyl violet alone, nt 140 dop- to 158 dog., and then boil for 4 hour In a hoiii> batli of ] pound of soup, Tho wool, however, iu this ease must he dyed a few shades darker, since the soup bath renders tho color lighter. The color obtained in this way is tolerably pure, and very livoly. A desired shade may bo produood by boiling the wool for \ hour in a bath of 3 pounds of Glauber's suit, 4 pound of sulphurie acid and 1 ounce of mothyl violet, PltUHRIIVATION OF PjIOTOCUtAI'HH. A simple invention for the preservation of cards, photographs, etc., from injury by moisturo or dirt consists of a prepara tion of putta-perehn in solution. Tho liquid is thrown, in a very fine spray, over the artiolo by an atomizer. When tho liquid hits in part evaporated, wliieli it soon does, it leaves the object coated over with a thin, traiislnscent film, im pervious to water.

Tine Fihhino Fnoo.—-Writers on na tural history describe a hideous reptile, kuown as tho flsluug froor, which angles for ita game as expertly and with as great auoooas an the most adroit fly- fisher. Ho ia a clumsy, awkward swim mer, but nature luia compensated him for his unwioldincRH by furnishing him with an equivalent for a rod and lino, with bait always ready for use. Two elongated tentacles spring from his uoho, which taper away like actual fishing- rods. To the end of them is attached by a slender filament, which servos the purpose of a line, a bait iu tho form of a shiny bit of mcmbriutc. The hooks are sot in tho mouth of the flshorman below, and in order to induce tho lisii to veuturo within reach of them, the angler stirs up the mud at the bottom with his tins aud tail. ThiH attracts the tluh and oonooalB him from their obser vation. Ho then plies his roil; t he glit tering bait glow’s m tho water like a liv ing insect. The dazed fish arc taken in great numbers, perfectly circumvented by the trick of tuo crafty angler. An Unfurtunatk Island.--Some months ago, the little Island of Niceros, in tho Grecian Archipelago, was shaken by a Beries of earthquakes, which did much damage, aud culmiuatcd iu the bursting of the highest peak on tho island, and the discharge of a flood of steam and boiliug water, which threat ened to inundate the whole island aud destroy every living thing on it. Tho mountain, however, sut douly ceased to boil over, and it was hoped for a time thcro would be no recurrence of the un pleasant phenomena, ltut, the other day, the mountain resumed its horrid belching, emitting such volumes of scalding water that extatenoo ou the island has become almost intolerable. Tho ground is convulsed with earth- 1 quakes, and tho people have taken to the open Helds, wnero they aro safer! than in their tottering homes. A I scarcity of provisions is added to their I other troubles; and, without houses, without food, and a monster in view | perpetually pouring out streams of! boiling water, menacing them with a horrible death, their condition is by no means enviable. Skunks and Hydrophoiua.—An art icle iu the American Journal of Science and Arts presents tho unpleasant an imal in u new attitude. It appears that at the west these creatures have a habit of biting pooplo at times, aud that the bite always results in hyhrophobia, A large number of eases are cited in illus tration. Tho hydrophobia produced by other animals is much less fatal thau that from the skunks. From thin it is possible to infer that the disease orig inated with these animals, and they havo transmitted it to others, its power , .. being, as always, lessened by transmis- ' Th * «»•*• aion. They are its originators. Then, to carry ont a suggestion offered in tho article, it is notioenble that tlio odorous secretions of tho skunk, when adminis tered in proper quantities, havo a very beneficial effect upon all sorts of con vulsive trouble nnd attacks of that kind.

Believing that a brief aocount of these occurrences will prove of interest to our readers, we nave complied the following statement from an account of tho events us they oocurrod, written by Mr. Godfrey Le- siour, an eye-witness of and a participa tor in theso terrible scenes of more than sixty years ago : Luring tho night of December lfltb, 1811, tho first shock of the earthquake was experienced. It camo upon the senses of a terrified people in mutter ing* and tremblings of tho earth at two o’clock in tho morning, and wns repeated at intervals of half an hour, the shocks being comparatively slight and doing no further damage than the shaking down of some log-houses and cabins. At 7 a. m. tho mntterings grow into thunder in the west, and wero immediately followed by a rocking and vibration of tho earth, so that in places where tho shock was most violent, few wero able to walk or oven stand eroot.

It does not appear to attack human beings." The Assam land leech is not so for midable a pest, however, os tho horse leech of Ceylon. According to Sir Em erson Toiinont, the Ceylon land leech is about ati inch in length, and as fine as a common knitting needle, but capable of distention to tho thickness of a quill, and a length of nearly two inches. It can insinuate itself through the meshes of the finest stocking. It is always ready to assail a passing traveler or quadruped. Tho coffee planters aro obliged to wear “ leech gaiters" of close ly woven cloth for protection. " On every twig and grass blade," says Wood, “ the land leeches sit, stretching out their long bodies toward the coming prey, and hastening after tho traveler with direful speed. Instinctively they make for tho unprotected parts. They crawl rapidly up his clothes, they insin uate themselves into his neck, his coat sleeves, and his boots ; and wherever a patch of bare skin can be ound, there a small colony of lerohes is suro to hang." Shad-Fishing in Florida. A Florida correspondent says : “ One lively feature of Ht. John’s river is the shad-fishing, which begins about tlio 1st of December and is over by tho 1st of Afiril or May. The shads are caught in nets, drifting with tho tide. Home of theso nets are of very great length, spuuuing tho river from shore to shore, and if these fish arc ou their way up the river, some of them are pretty sure of having their gills entsngled in the meshes ; and it must be understood that shad are caught only on ono side of the not—tho lower side—as the fish ascend tho river; rarely that a straggler hap pens to take a whirl round and is caught in tho upper side of tho net. The two great fishing centres on tho Ht. John’s arc Mayport, near tho month, and Yel low Bluff, about nine miles up the river, Yellow Bluff has by fur tho larger amount of business, shipping annually about fifteen or twenty thousand dol lars' worth of shall to Hovannuh, and thence to northern ports. Let it not, however, be supposed that it is an easy matter lo engage iu this business, which is profitable enough to the principals, who biro mon to catch the.fish, uml pocket the biggest profits. At Yellow Springs thorn are two of these shad- kings, having their platforms, thoir boats, their ioo-honses, and thoir agents in Huvaunah.

The area of acres planted in cereals has greatly widened in the last fow yours, rendering certain localities iudependi nt for home supplies of food. Manufactories aro also springing up, wherein tho abundant raw materials of the south are wrought into fabrics, which before the war were al- mcHt entirely imported. Georgia has attained pro-ominonco in thia respoob; the state now boasts numbers of cotton mills in which several thousand opera tives are employed, aud which impart a degree of prosperity that is felt, by all classes ami conditions of society. The Patrons have besides oxoroisod an infln euoo iu toning down tho rancor of party spirit, which had a most demoralizing effect upon tho industrial pursuits. The avowed object of t he Patrons is to stim ulate tho growth of agriculture and to improve (lie condition of those who en gage in it. Thia mission they have ao- oomnlished, not only in auoh of tlio southern states as have adopted the or der, but throughout tho nntiro country; anil if they continue to practico upon tho design wbioh has been declared to be the paramount object, in their organ ization, the measure of their usefulness will be as boundless as the wide field in which they propose to conduct their operations. At present the headquarters of tho national grange is located at Washing ton, D. (’., which is productive of much inconvenience, being far removed from tho centre of our heaviest agricultural operations and populations, involving much delay iu communicating with it, as well us an expense, when a visit necessary.

A Mrs. Lafont died from fear, and Mrs. Jarvis was crushed from the falling of a cabin log. Tlio loss of life on the river must, have boon greater than on land. It. was the age of flat-boat# which supplied the river villages with provis ions. Theso were found for miles, wrecked in company with barrels of pork, (lour, whisky, and snob other ar ticles as would float.

Old chiefs of Hhawnees, Ohorokoes, and Delawares had b 'on questioned on this point, and all agreed that they lmd no traditionary account of any such visitations.

Although farmers are sometimes dub bed with tho cognomen of grumblers, yet mothinks that as a class they accept of their situation with us much sang froid us those eugaged iu other pur suits. The I’atrons of Husbandry, if I am rightly informed, are laboring ..t al- ously to educate the farming communi ty, and elevate their calling to an hon orable and profitable position as com pared with other pursuits of the oountry. They aim, us all honest, intelligent farmers do, to break up, or put a check upon monoye l monopolies, cheaper transportation, and logulnte the manu facturing interests of the nation. In short, to regulate tho laws of trade, that tho farmer can receive as fair a percent age upon l’is productions as that of any other calling or pursuit. Is it gram- bliug to make this modest request? Does justice deman.l that the f irmer shall give two bushels of wheat to sell the third ? Does common sense teach ns that it is right aud just for a fainter to pay $125 for a mowing-machine that costs only $50 to manufacture ? We are told that it costs a round sum of money to advertise and get agricultural implo incuts into tho market. If a manufac turer has a good tool which the farmers need and must have, it tuk.s but little time to introduce it, if sold at a reason able percentage above cost. But should tho farmers be called grumblers because they ask manufacturers of agricultural implements to sell at a profit of twenty- five to thirty per cent., when faimors, do not realize over three or mt. on the m ital and labor i producing the necessaries of n and beast ? e ask, aro better entitled to fair remuneration for thoir labors than those who labor, both mentally and physically, to produce the life-sustain ing elements for counties*, millions ?
