(Written for the "Spy.") WHAT I'SAW. The other day I saw n sweet blossom of a little girl, somewhere between the age 'of eight and ten years, flying along the street with the gay step known by children as " hipity hop." She Wit* dressed with a richness " that would indicate that her parents possessed considerable means and a good deal of common souse. tier dress was short, after the fashion ,of other little girls, which is pretty enough as far as it -goes; and underneath were hoops, and the inevitable white 'skirt to keep them from showing through the skirt of the dress. Ilut when her highflying motion and a lively breeze sent her hoops flying almost as high as her head—what do you-suppose I saw? It was not the little shivering body, cover ed with only one thickness of fine muslin in the shape of drawers, as in other cases ; but a double skirt of heavy, white flannel ; one about three inches shorter than the other, and both edges worked with bright 'worsted ; the soft, warm folds, giving what warmth and protection they might to the beautiful limbs, which is little enough, with full garments hanging loosely at the bottom, giving so much chance for warmth to es cape and cold air to take its place, even - whore there is no stiff material to hold it out from the body. I watched to catch sight of the sweet face, 'which was a living picture of sunbeams and roses, and the gay•snatches of song she was bumming showed she enjoyed the fresh air and exercise, and laughed at the cold, with her warm woolen stockings and skirts, and her, pretty woolen hOod and mittens, which took nothing - from the beauty of the rich sack and dress she wore. I wanted to see the mother of that child, for I knew she possessed a sweet, tender, loving- heart, with sense enough to turn fashion aside when • she interferes • with health -and ,comfort, so far cold "to send -women and children into the cold with thin cotton stockings, and no warm clothing un der their hoops, as if to invite sickness and death before their time. , girLs: passed- and ro•passed ; I sonie richly aud even extravagantly dress ed, but not onelof them was - dressed with 'wag:decent regard for.,cOMfort from- their; waist down, except the one child -with , thei sunbeam - race.

When a description - of Mr. Deddrick's steam man was -published, not only- the Newarkers, a goodly- number of whom, like the Athenians, eighteen centuries ago, "spend their time in nothing but either in tell or to hear some new thing," all rushed . to the shop,. where, under the hands of skillful inechanics,he was slowly but surely assuming the "human form divine," and so thronged the doorway and darkened the windows of the shop that his completion was at one time made doubtful, but scores of gentlemen from other cities ventured into Jersey, and all, men,'women and chil dren who could - not go, wrote, inquiring • about this new wonder. An ,enthusiastic, committee of five traveled all the way from Albany, ono day last week, to decide a 'bet that the whole thing was a "newspaper story." Many of the letters ask for more minute descriptions than have already been published ; some contain orders for men ; tome writers want traveling agencies ; some will buy territorial rights to manufacture and sell them, and others wish to hire the man on a speculation.' , A Chicagoan thinks the most profitablework to which the thing can be put will be farming on Illinois prairies, and proposes that it walk to- Chi cago on a. wager. • A. Pennsylvanian orders a pair, proposing to repopulate his . place. Five women write, ordering cast-iron hus bands, and one gentleman semis for a wife. As the machine is speechless, the inventor replies to-the last he was doubtful whether a woman could be made a success. Many experiments have been made with tho "Man" during the past fortnight., and, al though some accidents, such as are incident to new machines, occurred, he finally works perfect. The old spiral springs have been replaced by stronger ones, so that the steam man is no longer weak in the knees, and upon steam being generated 'on Thursday, he stumped off like a live Trojan.. In the evening he appeared on Broad street, at Crump's Garden.—New York Tribune. "The Way of the World." We heard it reported yesterday that a gentleman of this vicinity is about making preparations for a " Party" on a large and magnificent scale, in honor of the return of his daughter from school. An idea may be gained of the extravagance of the proposed affair when we say it is expected by him to cost no less than the handsome sum of $2,000. Among the arrangements to be made is that of the erection upon the grounds attached to the gentleman's residence, of a building and appurtenances expressly for the pur pose of a supper room. This it has been estimated will cost about six hundred dol lars. We might add that with the same report 'We heard that the application of a clerk or book-keeper, who'has a family, for an increase of his salary in the same gentle man's establishment, was refused on the ground that business at present would not allow it! It May be well to remark here for the pur pose of reminding nll who have means, that there •are many fntniliea•in this city and vicinity, who are; in iti:thtd need of the neeensnrieg of life. - - Pittsburgh.

Poll evil 'is an oval tumor, in the region of the nape of the neck, close behind the ears of the horse, receding from where the bridal or tying halter comes in contact, and mostlyinclining to one side. If all attempts to abate the inflammation and disperse the tumor, by bleeding, physic,' and the application' of cold lotions' to the part, should prove ineffectual, and the swelling increase, and matter begins to form, sup= puratiou should be hastened by warm poultices and stimulating embrocations.. As aeon as matter is formed in the abscess, which may be known by the softness of the tumor, and before it has spread and eat into the neighboring parts too far, insert a seatou. The needle should enter'at the top of the sore, and penetrate its bottom and come out at the lower side of the sore in contact with the sound flesh. If taken in time, poll cuff, without anything more than frequent foment:4lons with warm water to keep the parts clean,:and obviate inflammation, will not ho difficult to cure. If cases occur, which will not yield, to this treatment, and the parts assume a morbid typo, inject and dress the gathering with equal - parts of linseed oil, pyroligneons acid, and spirits of turpentine; but as soon, however, as suppuration begins to decrease, . dress with a tincture of aloes and myrrh. The treatment of the disease must not bo altogether of a local character, but the general health of the horse must be attend ed to by keeping the bowels soluble. For open diet, sulphur, sassafras, and cream of tartar are about tho best remedies. ABORTION AMONG COWS When abortion occurs among a herd of cattle, the cow should at once be separated from the rest of the stock, and all traces of the abortion removed ; without delay, the other cows should have tho following pow der mixed in their food night and morning for ono week : 9. drachms powdered sul phate of iron, and a half an ounce of pow dered gentian root mixed together, making one dose for a cow, giving every alternate week for a month or two, which will be a powerful tonic and add richness to the blood ; strengthen the mucus surface, and give health and strength to the system, and ensure the animals to carry their young to the full time. However, kind treatment and generous feeding, is also a preventative by itself—but better, in con junction with the powder. Abortion most ly occurs from general debility of the system ; ergotized grass or grain, or any other diseased foul seed, musty hay, etc. When abortion occurs in a herd of cattle, It will sometimes become contagious, and the other cows will follow irt the same un natural strain. But . COWS can be prevented. from 'abOrting the second time (to which the gestatorY organs will be pre-disposed,) by' iinintaining a high standard of good health. . - DEscitrrricEN 'OF A JERSEY COW Thin jaws,;,a. small muzzle with a white ' , rim"arountWir-: Wide. 14g - sere -the - '"horns, and • the ..IxoMs rklow -sad„ waxy lOokingat-thkronia;;tatie - fiUangct bhtck at the; iips';it, de!iiii'Orantio , ocifer'iMilan;of the , . r 'shonlderstanetbaireli!hami.;;lstialgiit,ba*-Z: ,square bag, P4Pg,v 4 4 1, f9r7*,1, 1 , 4 : find ',UP - :high behind,, t.Cita,bf .

A • SCLL•NTIYIC' OPINION 'tax - Gjtownie GRAszs:---The French Academy of Science 'is 'known to put forth opinions upon almost every topic, whether scientific orotherwise, with au maimed power that none can pre tend to gainsay. We sometimes commit the unpardonable sin of smiling over some of them, for which no doubt extreme salon tific savans would denounce us as an idiot, &c. But we can't help it. The last opinion laid before the world is from Jules - Conte, who has presented 'to the acsdemyofore said certain new observations and experi ments on thit disease of the (graze) vine,by which he has foudad "That those circum stances which tend to' favor the develop ment of the malady are just those which diminish the vigor of the plant." Farther, " There Is rie doubt that the best proventi tive of, sease, both for plants and animals, is a vigorous constitution.
