B , Ju. IBM—— I Sin .1 JHiscfllaucdus. The Roots of Plants —ln his work titled “How Crops Grow,” S. VY. Johnson says : The quantity of roots actually attached to any plant is usually far greater than can be estimated by roughly lifting them from the soil. To extricate the roots of wheat or c’over, for example, from the earth, corn* pletelv, is a matter of no litt’o difficulty. Schubert has made the most satisfactory observation we possess on the roots of several important crops, growing in the field. He separated them from the soil by the following expedient. An excavation was made in the field to the depth of six feet, and a stream of water w r as directed against the vertical wall of soil until it was gashed away, so that the roots of the plants thus exposed in a field of rye, in one of bean«, and in a bed*of garden peas, presen ted the appearance ot a mat, or felt of white fibres, to a depth of about four feet from the surface of the ground. The roots of winter wheat he observed as deep as seven feet, in a light subsoil, forty-seven days after sowing. The depth of the roots of winter wheat, winter rye, and winter colza, as well as of clover was three to four feet. The roots of clover one year old, were three and a half feet long ; these of two ypars o’d clover were but four inches longer. The quantity of roots per cent, of the entire plant in tne dry state was found : Winter wheat, examined the last day of April, 40 per cent.; winter wheat, May, 22 per cent.; winter rye examined last day of April, 34 der cent.; peas exam, ined at the time of blossom, 24 per cent. Ileliiiegel carefully examined the radical tion of the barley.and oats, and, for this purpose, raised plants in large gh ss potts and separated the : r roots from the soil by careful washing v ith watt r. He observed that directly f ”om the base of the stem, twenty to thirty roots branch off sideways and downward. These roo f s at their point of issue have a diameter D25 of an inch, but a little lower the diameter diminishes to about 1-10 .> of an inch. Retaining this diameter, they pass downward, dividing and br r nehing to a certain depth. From these main roots, branch out innumerable side roots, which branch out again and so on, filling every crevice and pore of the soil. To ascertain the total length of root he weighed and ascertained the length of selected average Weighing then the entire hb calculated the entire length. Ila est'inate! the Jength of the roots of a yigprous plant, at-128 feet, and that of ?in oat plant *t 150 feet. He found a si ill bulk of good fine soil sufficed for this dtvelopmeut— i-40 cubic foot answered for a barley plant, 1-32 qubic foot for an oat plant. In Wiese experiments Ilellriegel observed also that the quality of the soil influenced the development. -In rich por ous garden soil, a barley plant produced 128 feet of roots; but in a coarse-grained compacted soil, a similar plant had but 80 feet of roots. Five Gin-Houses Burned in Burke County. —We learn that during the three first days of last week five gin- houses and a mill were burned in Burke county, in four instances the fire being the work of an incendiary. On Monday the gim-house belonging to Mr William Cok was burned by incendi aries. Twenty tales of cotton were consum ed with the building. On Tuesday the gin-house belonging to Mr. Edward Gresham was destroyed by an accidental fire. On Wednesday the gin-houss belonging to Mrs. Robert Lawson was "burned. Fire accidental. On the same day the gin-house and mill belonging to Mr. John McCullough were burned by incendiaries. On the same day the gin-house belong ing to Mr. William Lawson was also de stroyed by an incendiary fire.

Retribution. —We learn that J. P. Jew itt, the original publisher of Uncle Tom’s Cabio, is now wciking as a journeyman printer in Philadelphia, and Hinton Rowan Helper, the author of the infamous “Im pending Crisis,” is a pauper in New York. “ The miils of God grind slowly, yet they grind exceedingly small,” Vegetable re f >r Fur it I rek- - It is much vegetable mat ter will ad 1 growth of a tr**e. Thjp is the case with the grape-vine. A mWe o vering of leaves in the till will* have an influence that is almost astuiii.-hing.' Suoh is iur experience. There is, however, a difference in soil, we find, *<b a- to cause a Variation. A stiff clay-soil will not show the effect so readily, and it seems to fail in showing a fu l effect, perhaps, bt keejs the strength on the top, as clay is an absorber and retainer of fertility. But in a sandy or leaehy soil —any -oil that will let the strength down--wa think nothing better for fruit trees, of all kinds, can bo used than the simple application in the fall of vegetable matter in the form of leaves, cut weeds or grass, grown the same year. It will afford a protection during the winter. The full and spring rains, and the heat at the opening of summer, will prepare it for foul, ntid continue toffeed tMb routs '"the must <^>o7"* • Now. it a mulch is applied when the heat j cornu enci s —of the same material, vegeta™ ble matter —w’th some deliquescent cover i ing like ashes, plaster, or lime, there will, | unless the sjil is quite deficient in fertiliz ing matter he a good growth—such a growth as is 'wanted—not extravagant, ftr the op- 4 posite. In a quite ordinary sui*t will be sufficient. It will grow fruit—it ,will con ti ue to grow it healthfully, remuneratively not in premium crops, but ip a'' permanent abundance. And »his is what is Let us apply our light manure in the fall, and use it also from the heat, as well as the trePfc Where soil is a strong clay, i: to roino^ some of it, and get ijuwn to the roots ; fchert replace the ground, broken boi^s added while the ground is open will some times be of benefit, and be a l isting one. And we thiuk it will do no hurt in any case. Do not use for one year alone ; try for several. In ground disposed to let down the strength, there will be an effect almost at once. In such case the two applications are just the thing—one in the fall and one in the spring, or the commencement of the heat, thus keeping up a constant replenish ment, just what the tree wants. If the roots of the tree are ner.r the surface, noth ing can be finer than this application. The forest has been teaching this lesson from time immemorial.— Rural Xcw Yorker . Treatment of Sm all Pox.—A great dis covery is said to have been recently made by a surgeon of the British army in Chiu* in the way of an effectual retried}' for sura 1- pox. The mode of treitment is as follows : ‘•When the preceding fever is at its height, and just before the eruption appears, the chest is rubbed wich entrn oil and tar taric causes the whole of the eruption in that pert of the body to the rest. It also se cures a full and complete eruption, and thus prevents the disease from attacking the internal organs. This is now the estab lished mode of treatment in the English army in China, and is regarded as a perfect Clive.''

Ts not the cause a good nrn?" but I am not able to give thing." “Pooh ! Pooh ! I know better, you must give a better reason than that." ‘i Well, I owe too much money ; I must be just before I am generous, you know that." “But, William, you owe God a larger debt than owe any one else." “Thai’s true, Parson; but then lie ain’t pushing me like the belance of my credit tors." The Parson’s face got in rather a curious condition as he passed on. Josh Billings says; “Any business firm that hasn’t got sand enough in its craw to expend a few dollars in making it busi ness known to three or four thousand peo ple ought to pack up and go to peddling pea nuts." Josh’s head was evidently “level,’ as the saying is, when he perpetrated the above, lie deserves an obituary notice at the handset every newspaper in the country when he dies, as a iust return for a sensible idea. The time is near at hand when Mr. J. Billing’s remark, as quoted above, will be believed as gospel truth by men who now laugh at it as nonsensical stuff. Keeps Reconstruction. —A resolution offered in the South Carolina Legi-lafuro on Thursday lest, dire t ng that the United States flag should be ho sted on the capitol building was voted down. Evidently this negro scalawag body needs reconstruction. They are still rebellious, and the honor and dignity of the best Go\- ernment on the planet demands a prompt punishment for this brazen-faced disloyal ty- A Slight Difference. —What is the difference between editorial and matrimo nial experience ? In the former the devil cries for “copy." and in the latter, the “copy” cries iixe the devil. Domestic Device.—A Louisville matron, whose husband snores badly, keeps a clothes-pin underneath her pillow, and when his snoring awakes her, she adjusts the pin on his nasal organ, and theu slums hers peacefully. A case of domestic scandal wes neder discussion at a tea table. “Well, let us tiink the best of her we can," said an eld erly spinster. “Yes," said another, “and say the worst." The noblest independence is the govern-. ! ment of our passions, and the most sublime 1 dejeodence is on the Divine Providence.
