The matter was presented to the pub ic in the shape cf a social enigma that suggested a certain solntion; and na turally the public mind accepted the solution that was suggested. Those candidates for notoriety who stand in the public place and uncover tbeir domestic scars to the multitudes, should be careful not to bring innr. parties, and especially for general ob servation upon which they themselves are content to a stand. But, if there be no liuly in the case what can this mysterious sin be that Mr. Beecher has committed? Where in can this robust and wnuey shepherd have injured one of his flock, under circumstances that seem to demand so much of secrecy autl evasion? When started modesty thus holds np a warning forefiuger, and whispers “Hush!” there must something have been done offensive to morality.

Skimming the Seine, Of alb the things in the world which appear utterly worthless, are soap-suds. Mr, Simmonds tukis a different view. He tells ns that * ‘soap suds, as a stimulant for vegetable life, cannot be too highly appreciated,”— We cannot go into his arguments on the great value of soap-suds, and it is ■suffieieflt'To "Say that, when poured but as a . manure, they are oi prodi- gjpns efficacy. The French, 'who are np to everything in the obeiflipal line, have taken a-proper view of the value k of soap-suds. Whether from private dwellings in Pali”, or ffomHhe barges of the b'atwhUeuaea, the Seine must have a good deal of soap floating about it in a wasteful kind of way, to say nothing of the greasy pollution from dead dogs and cats. There was a fortune, if properly looked after.— An enterprising firm, fortified by the iiuthority of the Prefect; determined to begin ! a system .of . skimming the Seine. Ton would imagine it was a nonsensical idea. Quite a mistake.— By uniting the skimmings from the river with the offal from the hospitals, the firm is able, by the aid of chemis try. steam and cookery, to fatten 3,000' pigs, and to; produce annually 500,000 pounds of soap.

The climate is nearly simiiar to some of the delta lands in Southern Asia, where this crop is very productive. This appears the more likely from the fact that tlie oil cre oles, though they were indolent and almost ignorant of agriculture, made respectable livings, and somo of them became rich, by the cultivation of this important cereal. Though some 2,0U0 acres of this crop have been destroyed by the late, crevassesyet the yield this year, according to the lnte-t estimates, will be over 125,000 barrels—the lar gest on record.
