MISCELLANEOUS. VJ hat IiiTonlion Ilan lnr wilhiu si 4c:i'i-iitioii. It is not so mnny yenra ago since tlie lcail in Bhip-buiklcrs mtiiutained that iron ships could not swim. Wlicn tlicy bad avi um it was argucu that tUcy could not bold to gether, although wo now know that iron ships may be made of sizes and proportions that could never be repeated in wood, as, lor example, the Great Knstern, C30 fret long, and other ships 400 feet long, and of a beum only one eleventh of their length. Next it was contended that iron shipa would foul to such an extent as to prevent their being kept going, and it is but a verv few years since iron war ships wcro reckoned as wuony impracticable. There were no argu ments against water-light litilkhe.ids.becaiite Micro could be none beyond these that thev cost something and weighed something; but it was a long time before they came into general use. Iron mast9 were objected to because they could not. as it was said, be cut away, as if it was always necessary to '"""'S iwny masts, but a l!ang0 joint, with bolts and nuts nenr the deck. r.mnfl this objection. Iron standing rigging came in at last, and so did topsails that could be reefed from tho deck just as the sails of windmills are reefed from the mill house. Anchors, too, of far greater lioldiug power tor a given weight are now common, and we have boat-loweiing gear which will disen gage both ends of a bout Bt the same instant ol time. Onco it wag reckoned impossible to apply steam to the propulsion of ships, aud, long afterwards, it was thought unliko ly that screws could ever compete with pad- lu steamship machinery, too, it was the opinion only a few years ngo that only glow tngiuu speeds and spur gearing, or very coarse pitched screws, could ever answer. It i3 enough to cay that this is uot tho opin ion now. Even, with high rpceds of screw engines it was long before any one thought it worth whilo to upply counter weights, patented, wc may as well say, by Mr. Cramp ton, ia 1S17, six years before they were used by 1'tnn or Mr. Dourue. The screw was once on the vtrgo of dis honorable dismissal, and all for tha want of Mr. I'cnn's wood bearings, the least likely, upotvaa a priori view, to withstand wear, and yet they constitute oc of the greatest improvements ever mode in steamship ma chinery, The same unlikely material, wood, now serves as the best fur packing the many thousand joiutc J service condensers. High speed screw engines could uot, it was once believed, work their air pumps at full stroke from the piston, yet wo have now double acting pumps ot large forco worked at the rutu of 00, 75 nnd even 106 doublo strokes per minute, and the unlikely material, India rubber, serves perfectly for tho valves. Even the valuo nf the marine engine governors has beeu at last discovered. So with railways. Wo have been long familiar with them, yet it was but very lately that clever engineers argued that they could never bo worked unJerground with frequent trains as for metropolitan tralllc. It is hardly longer sinco it was maintained that there was no hope for coal burning locomotives. Aud who would admit, a few years ago, that coutinuous biakes, mechanically put on, could bo worked on railway trains, or that mj.il bags could be caught at forty tuHes an hour, or that gas could be introduced in railway trains, or that communication be tween passengers aud guards was both prac ticable and allowable, or that sleeping car riage could be made both comfortable and profitable, or that signals could be so arrang ed, as by Anderson's plan, made by Yardley, of Manchester, that mistakes were uo longer possible. And as for locomotive and car riage details, how long were balanced alido valves tho jjnii fatui of locomotive engi neers ; Low long did it take to understand that liauisbottoin's mode of picking up water, jubt as it is w anted, is cheaper than carry iug it about eight or ten tons at a time, with a tea or twclvo ton lender to hold it ; how long to learn that condensed steam would certainly displace oil in the gravity or displacement lubricator, and how loDg will it take tolearn that axle boxes lubricated with oil cause less friction than the dirty, troublesome and extravagant grease pots now in use t It is only now that engineers are learning that locomotives can take a load up inclines of 1 in 10, and that without a mid-rail, and that bogle rolling stock is the easiest and safest of all. What a world of irritation it has taken to convince engi neers that Richard's indicator is the only one fit to be used for high, tpeeds, even up to four hundred and fifty revolutions per minute ; how long to instil into the minds of ewners of steam power that Prony's fric tion brake, as improved by Appold, is the only true measure of power, as developed or consumed by machines having a circular motion I By-and-by the Canadian railway managers tnd engineers will be believed H.

All of us have ideas moro or lc3S correct, in regard to tho law which regulates our use of the highways; and at nr.y rate good sense and good nature are usually very safe guides. A few words on tho subject, however, may not be amiss. It is commonly said that every one lias a right to half the road. This is practically true, and comes about in this wise : You and I meet npnn tho roatl our legal rights lire exactly equal, and both have a right to go our several ways without obstruction, bo, popularly, wc iny I own half and you half. The law steps in to facilitate matters, nnd directs each to turn towards his right hand. This is trno whatever the lond or the team ; for if ono can drive such n team that another can pass him but with didiculty or at all, then their rights nre no longer equal. This point becomes very important in winter, for it is no joke to turn your horse nnd nil into the deep snow while your neighbor goes smoothly along in the beaten path. No one has n right so to lond his team as not to bo able to give up half the track to whoever demands it. A footman may chonso the pari which plea'es him or any portion of his right hand half of the way, and the team must yield it to lum. 1 Ins is clearly so in winter, and uo man is obliged to stop into Iho snow for one or two horses. Thia is tho law and the court awards it. Kow for the manners of tho road, which, in Rome inslanci.'s,vary from tho law thereof. The first requirement of the road manners is good nature and an accommodating spirit. Do to others as you would have them do to you Always bo willing to yield more than half tho spaco, then you will lie pretty sure to be equally well treated. They who exact inches will have inches exacted of them. If your neighbor has a heavy load, consult his convenience as far as possible; you may sometimes bo loaded. It has become a prac tical rule of cotirtery to turn for heavy teams. i especially in v. inter, nnd when the ronds arc Heavy. luit rcmemticrit was a lavor, not your riqht, and you have a reciprocal duty to perform, and one which, I am sorry to observe, is not always borne in mind. One word in relation to teams going the same way, in which caso many seem to think there is neither law nor manners. When a team comes up behind you, that team has a right to a reasonable space and opportunity to pass on in fact to half the road for that purpose nnd your obalructing him in his lawful desire is both bad manners and bad law. If your load is heavy, do tho best you cnn. In most cases the very least that can be asked is that you should stop. This is particularly so in the winter, when it is a heavy tax on n team to force it into a trot in deep snow, or deep mud, or frozen and deep ruts made necessary by your continuing to move on. Remember tho good old aphorism, which can be so opportunely applied here "Wheel grease is a great lubricator, but good manners a vastly greater one." EIuiiciicllo. A few evenings since a young gentleman made a purchase of one of these curious tell tale machines, and repaired to the residence of a young lady to whom ho was paying his addresses, with the hope that plauchtttc would reveal to him what he had failed, for want of courage, to obtain fram his fair dulcinea. After f : riving ut tho house with the little joker c. iic. alcd, and spending a few moments in L i i o parlor in ordinary commonplact.3 with the young lady who had so drawn upon his warm affections, he managed to iutrodurc plancbette, and stated that ho had ono with him, und if the young lady had no objections, they would while irtuy a -',.ort time iu testing tho powers of tho invisible. Accordingly, they arranged themselves at the table, and after spending some length of time in serious effort, they succeeded in receiving answers that satislicd their minds that planchette was but toe well acquainted with the affairs of tho world, and what lies in the future. Emboldened with success, the lady propounded, mentally, sundry questions, and prompt answers were returned. Tho sequel to this interview wo give to our readers, as related to us by a female friend to whom it had been confided, giving the questions and responses in the order iu which they occurred. As a matter of course, tho mauipulatnr being a young lady, her first inquiry was: "Shull I ever get married J" "Yes," promptly came from planchette. "When ?" "Two year.." "To whom ?" "3 11 ." Thia was entirely satis factory, as it included both tho parties present, was the consummation both devoutly wished, except a-t to time, which appeared to be unreasonably delayed.' "Shall we be happy ?" "Perfectly." Kow followed a ques tion to which the youug lady desired a faith ful solution, as it appeared to her tho con summation of earthly bliss. "Shall we havo children ?" "Yes." "Girls and boys ?" 'Certainly." "How many 1" The answer to this the young lad; was anxious to note carefully, as much depended upon the rc.ult. I'lanchetto was deliberative, evincing no haste, desirous of making no miatake iu the figures, but wroto with considerable dis tinctness, "S-e-v-e-u-t," when the jouDg lady shoved tho instrument from her with such forco that it fell upon the floor, aud it was divided in halves by the full. Whether planchette intended "seventeen" or "seven ty" was not deterniiued, and we presume time alone can discover tho entire answer. AVw Albany lAibjtr. Encouraok the Yol'no. If a young man deserves praise, be sure you give it to him, else you not only run a chance of driving him from the right road by want of encour agement, but deprive yourself of the happiest privilege you will ever have of rewarding his labor. For it is only the young who can receive much reward from men's praise ; the old, when they are great, get too far beyond and above what you may think of them. You may urge them with sympathy, and sur round them with acclamation, but they will doubt your pleasure and despise your praine. You might have cheered them in their race through the asphodel meadows of their youth ; you might have brought the proud, bright scarlet to their faces, if you had cried but once, "Well done t" as they dashed up the first goal of their early ambition.

The coal trado this fall is much more active than nt ntiy time since the closo nf tho war, nnn prices are very firm. 1 lie amount of coal mined this year lias been large, but tho demand for manufacturing purposes at tho oast has greatly increased, and rates are unexpectedly hipji. The ex perience of this year is directly the reverse of last year. Then prices opened in tho spring at 7.25 to $7.50, and declined iu the full to $4 75 to $5. This spring prices opened at $3.25 to 5.50, and have advanced to $5,50 and $5. 75,witlin prospect of higher prices. Rail road freights and tho increase of miners' wages has hnd much to do with the increase of rates. The railroad tolls are twenty-five per cent, higher thun in the fipring, nnd there has been a lurgo advance in coastwise freights. Tho demand of Eastern manufac tuicrs will preveut an accumulation of stock before the Close of navigation. As soon ns cold weather sots in it is probable that rates will bo lower ulong tho lines of railroad ending from the mines than at present ; and it is supposed that in this city they will not be higher during the winter than they now ore. There will probably be another advance at the auction sulo ot Scraoton coal next week. Tho amount of anthracite coal tuiucd this year will bo about fourteen nnd a quarter million tons, ornn increaso of seven or eight huudred thousand tons over last year. It was expected that the increase would bo ten per cent., but it will not reach that amount. The trade is cow iu n very healthy state, and it is uot robable that the low prices of last year w ill again bo reached. X. '. Etching Fosi. A Cloud of iiruioiierK. The plaguo ofgiasahoppcrs is ayaiu sweep ing over a largo pnrt of Texas. Tho follow ing extract of a letter fi om John H. Cochrau, dated at Belknap on the lGth ultimo, de scribes the first appearance of the pest : "Yesterday, the I5th, I saw a sight which I hope no mortal man will ever see ngniu. About three o'clock l M. I went to tho door, and observing that tho sun shone but dimly, I looked for the cause. I saw in the distant west what I took to bo the smoke of an immense fire, but on looking closer I per ceived that it was uot smoke. What is it ? was the Inquiry of every one, both old nnd young. It continued to approach, and in about two hours near enough to us to see that it was a dense nias9 of moving matter. Nearer aud nearer, dimmer tho sun shines wo see what it is the Egyptian plague ! From the ground upward as far as tho eye could sec, on account of their denseneas, was an almost solid macs of living, moving insects grasshoppers. "All who saw the sight agree that for every square inch of surface over which they were flying, thcro must have been no less than one bushel of grasshoppers. This body of insects were moviug ahead of a northwest wind. They were some three miles ide, and as long each way as the horizon was to us. This could bo seen before they approach ed near enough to distinguish what they wore ; after they reached us tho view was very limited, on account of the denscness of tho mass. They passed over in a north east directions ; still wa have millions left of tho first coming. This is no exaggera tion." Want op Couragr. Sydney Smith, in his work on Moral Philosophy, speaks in this wise of what men loso for the want cf a little brass, as it is termed : "A great deal of talent is lost to the world for tho want of a little courage. Every day sends to their graves a number of ob scure men who havo ouly remained in ob scurity because the timidity has prevented them from making a first effort, and who, if they could only havo been induced to bcgiu, would in nil probability have gouo great lengths iu the career of famo. The fact is, that in order to do anytbiug in this world worth doing, wc must not stand shivering on the bank thinking of the cold danger, but jump iu and scramble through as well as we can. It will not do to be perpetually calculating risks and adjusting nice chances, it all did very well before the Flood, when a man could consult bis friends upon an in tended publication for a hundred and fifty years, aud then live to enjoy its succeas for six or seven centuries afterwards ; but at present a man waits and doubts, and hesi tates, and consults hifc brother, and his uncle, and his Grst cousin, and his particular friends, till one day he finds he is bixty-fivo year of age, that ho has lost so much time iu consulting first cousins and particular friends that he has no more time left to fol low their advice. There is so littlo time over-squeauiishness at present, tho opportu nity slips away ; the very period of life at which a man chooses to venture, if ever, is so confined that it is no bad rulo to preach up tho necessity, in such instances, of a little violence done to the feeling, and of efforts mado in defiance of strict and sober calcu lation.

Tha experiment lately made in Glasgow of establishing cheap dining places, bos not only proved very successful, but has pro duced a result in a direction not originally contemplated.

AGRICULTURAL, &0. 1'ccdinK IIoi'ncs." Every one who Beeps a jorso, cither for profit or pleasure, in addition to keeping him well, should study how to keep him with an outlay of tho least money. Tho fnrmer who has pleuty of food for his horso should be uo exception. All that the far mers grow, or should grow, can bs converted iuto money ; there should bo no v, a9tc be cause of plenty. If your present stock will not consume all your stock food economically fed, buy more stock to make a profit on the balance. A farmer who understands Ii'ib business will always kuow how to do this; but never waste, although your farm and granaries may be full to overflowing. Grass, either green or cured, is the natural food for the horse, and is essectiul to his good health. Green is tho natural state, therefore the best ; but -.vo cannot have it green all the year round in this climate, therefore wo should do tho next best thing with it cook it steam it. Experience hBS proven that hay when stearuGd has all it3 natural juices and virtues revived, and is equal to grass, aud is nearly or quite as pa latable to stock that even mouldy hay, when stoutned, is just as palatablo to at'sck as that which has been well cured and pre served. For both convenience and economy hay should bo cut beforo being steamed. -Hay and straw cutters have been so improved of late years, and competition has so reduced prices, that there is no excuso for any man who keeps a horto not to have one. Straw has become too valuable to be used for beddiug stock. Look at its price in tho . market reports it is almost equal to the best of hay. Then why waste it when you can make so much more out of it by Bteam ing and feeding it. It is not thus lout to the manure heap it may be ia bulk, but not in its fertilizing qualities. Stable floors will have to be so constructed a: to do without bedding. Farming is beiug reduced to a science, end those who will shut their eyes to tho light of improvement and plod on in the wasteful ways of their fathers in feeding stock, will not be able to compet? with thuir , moro enlightened neighbors w:.o keep up with the times. There is a great wastefulness iu feeding wholo grain to horses, or any other stock. It should not only be ground but steamed. It should be mixed with cut hay or straw and steamed together. This is uot theory aloue ; it is based on experience carefully tested and found that there is a gain of at least fifty per cent. Now if two tons of Lay or straw cut and steamed aro equal to three tons uot thus treated, aud two bushels of corn ground aud steamed are equal to three bushels unground aud raw, than every third ton and every third bushel is saved by this process, which will enable the furnier to keep one third moro stock. Here is whoro the extra profit comes in. Aui. Stock Journal. Bi'CKwnKAT Cakes as Food. A French savant has been recently making some in vestigations with' buckwheat, as I read a few days ago in a London publication, from which I condense the following interesting results, which I think may be of value to the readers of your journal, and may remove some of the prejudices entertained against buckwheat cakes as an article of food : Buckwheat cakes are equal to pure white bread as regards the phosphates or bone making material, and nitrogenous principles which they contain, aud are superior to bread in fatty matters. The general yield of buckwheat when cooked is about three times the weight of tho flour used, showing that such Mour will retain forty to forty one rer cent, of water. Between different batches of ground buckwheat there is a great dissimi larity of composition oto batch containing nearly seven times as much mtroccn. twentv- flte times the amount of phosphates, and a' hundred and fifteen times as tench fatty maivcr, as anoiner. i ue uran is the richest portion of tbo buckwheat, but cannot be digested by weak atomacks. The' feast qualities of buckwheat Hourand the white mill dust especially, are very suitable for children and persous in delicate health, ' while the coarser varieties require a strong ttsruttu aud much sxercise for their perfect dipestiou. -Utrnxantvicn Ttlfjitip'k.
