her.

as good as could bo expected. The third morn

Bridget was called and qpcstiond as follows:

NO. 22,
The last or the Bonflolplis—A Ntphew cflf John
Randolph.
A sonlhern correspondent of the Home Jour
nal sends it the following interesting sketch:
‘•paring the summer of 1854 I hod some
business- transactions which called mo to the
county of Charlotte, in lower Virginia. A mild
and lovely Sabbath morning, found rao scatbd
in one of, the comfortably cushioned pews of the
village church,at tho'Court Uouse. As it wonted
tt fcwrainntdS (0 the hour of service, my eye
wandered over the large and rcdpcctful-looking
audience,assembled, ahdwos finally attracted
by a very eccentric. Individual, who was just
entering—a rather aged man, tall, of dark corp
pclxiort, long white hair waiving plentifully
over his shoulders, and an unequally venerable
beard-flowing on his breast. His step was ac
tive and graceful, his form erect and manly—
But his peculiar actions were in striking con
trast to his dignified''appearance. At first,!
thought him only eccentric, hut a few moments
of further observation proved to me lhal he w afe
insane,
, “Immediately on entering the.pew he knelt
towards the wall, crossed himself, and appar
ently, repented a prayer. lie then sat down,
drew out a white cambric, dclicataly perfumed,
wiped ; his .brow, removed bis gloves, stroked
n!s Jiair and.beard, look up-his Bible.. kissed it
and read, examined his Cane, used his hand
kerchief again—and all the lime keeping him
self in constant motion. I say nil the time,
but, occasionally, he was pnssivetfor a few min
utes—his attention, apparently, aroused by'
some truths from the minister—but these times
were rare. His countenance assumed all kinds
of expressions. Contempt, alarm, pleasure,!
earnestness, sorrow and anger, flitted across it
in rapid succession. It reminded mo more of
what children call ‘making faces’ than any
thing else.
“After the services were over, I ascertained
that this gentleman was no other Limn the
nephew of John Rnndolp, of Roanoke. lie calls
himself Sir John Si. George Randolph, and is
sole heir to his celebrated uncle. Randolph.
himself, remarked with bitterness, during his
last days, that their blood flowed in the veins of
but one single scion, and he was dutf, dumb
and insane. So much for human greatness.—
The subject of this sketch—although physical
ly, and now mentally, defective—had a mind
cultivated in the highest degree. In his youth
*hc was sent to Paris, where, under the protec
tion of a celebrated abbe, he received a thor
ough education. Having the capacity to re-1
edve, and the wealth to command, no pqins
were spared in the improvmcnt of his intellec
tual faculties. But >t was labor lost; for, on 1
returning to his home in Virginia,he met with,
and loved a young lady, whom ho addressed,
but was refused, on account of his physical do
i! feels. On becoming aware of,the truth he was
tinged m.the mostprofound grief, from which
• was at last aroused, but—insane. .

Rrxovatinq old Orchards. —If, os we fear
is the Case, your orchard has not been nianured
for some years, prepare and give it n dressing
of compost made as follows :
Mix together, layer and layer about, for each
Acre—
' Six loads of wood mould, marsh or river
mud.
Two loads of rotten dung.
Two bushels of bone dust.
Five bushels of ashes. 0
One bushel of plaster.
Two bushels of salt.
Tho whole to be thoroughly mixed together,
thrown Into bulk, ami permitted to remain so
for three weeks ; then shovel it over and apply
il broadcast over the land ; plow it i|> about
three inches deep, fid as not to injure the roots
of the trees, then harrow and roll.
This done, dress the trunks of the trees and
the limbs, ns far as you can reach, with a while
wash brush, with a mixture made in the pro
portion of —
One gallon of soft soap.
Quarter pound Hour of sulphur.
One quart of fine salt.
If tk' bark oh your trees is rough, mossy or

A Fnrm Steam -Engine;
One or our correspondents, A. O. Ireland,'of
Chilicothe, Ohio, informs ns that a heat, porta*
blc steam engine, for diving a grain thrasher
and operator, has been constructed at the .ma
chine shop of Whi. 'Welsh; of that, place, under
l lie superintendence of John Ritchie, and hks
been in operation since tho CtR ; of last July*
thrashing and‘cleaning frbm five to Sir'hun
dred bushels per day< Ft is capable of doing
more than this, butH. Wade—for whom it was
built—says that this is excellent work,, Tho
boiler is tubular, the cylinder is of. 6,.inches
bore and 12 inches stroke. It-makcs 174 res
olutions per minute, with steam at 40 pounds
pressure, and docs more work than any com
mon thrashing machine driven by eight holies.
Tt is placed on broad tread wheels, fburSfoct In
diameter, is easily drawn from place to place by
two horses, with the boiler filled, and and - is
very economical in ■ the use of fuel. This engine
is capable of driving various agricultural ma
chines and sawing firewood for tho family.—
We have no doubt but portable steam ingmesf
will yet come into more general use among bar
fanners, as they are so convenient and easily
managed in comparison with horses. We be
lieve that on every farm numbering a' hundred
acres and upwards, a portable, engine could ho
profitably used.— Scientijlc American, r ’ •'
