I have jnst been overlaulinj tie stakes in my vineyard, and replacing those decayed, and those too Email andtooehort In 1850 I had about 200 Osage-orange f takes, cut from a hedge, then about one inch in diame ter. Thev were used a year or two for Lima beans, when they were put in the vineyard, and now only the thin sap-wood is decayed, and the inside ia sound. Six yes -s a ?o I set 500 vines of the Ives Seedling, aid used a large number of B'.akea of the catalpa, maple, and Osage. Nearly all the catalpa are rotten, and the maples are all gone, whi'e the Osage remain sound. A few of the catalpa hae the heart-wcod FOnd, and I should judge that the bear wood of good s;".ed treei would last a Ion time much Ic-rtr than burr oak, wh'ch will do pood 6" -vice a Feneration ; wb'le the Osage is al most indestructible by t'uic ibis little sapling of an inch be'ig 6ouad after 14 years, while the catalpa of four inche.i are rotted off, but these were mostly sap-wood. This Swing I have put in a large number of red cedar stakes, from three to four in ches in diameter at the base. These have about one inch of tbe red-wood, at the certre. Tbey had been plan ted in rows four -Vet wide, and two feet in the rows and rrea dozejyears old, havingbeeu pl-n at two yea-s old. A s regards economy, tbe O age stakes are truch tbe cheapest, and will no doubt last as long as or lon ger tl;an the red-cec"; '"he larch stakes have about t' e same propor tion of sap-wood as the red-cedar, and that is gone in five or six years, while the heart-wood reiaains sound. Tbe Illinois Central and other rail roads that are planting tbe larch for cross-ties, should also plant Osage, and at the soul the eataipa, for the same purpose and give them nil tbe same trea'i'ent. 2."orth of 40 de "grees the larch may take the lead, but Bouth of that point the otbers will do as well, if not belter, for this purpose. It is probable that Iarcn timber grown in Wisconsin will be more durable than tbat grown in Missouri, wbile tbe catalpa and Osage will do better in Texas than in Central Illinois. In Tennessee tbe small red-cedars appear to have very little Bap-wood, but here the case is quite different. It is poo&iblo that, as the trees get older, tbe pro portion of sap-wood will be less. This matter of durability of timber should not be overlooked by tbe far mer, as he needs vineyard slakes, fence-posts and poles for tbeds, corn cribs, and Other uses. Xow tbat larca plants may be bad for $7 per 1,000, and Osage for $2, and even less, no farmer should let tbe time pass without putting in a fur-rod belt of 40 or 80 rods. Sixteen young trees will plant a square rod, and tbe 40 rods in length will require less than 2,000 plants, and a couple of days in preparing the land nnd the Betting. Chicago Tribune. lk T&hoe. Lake Tahoe lies on tbe parallel 120 deg. Ion. west, and 39 deg. lat. north about three-foi' lbs lying with in the State of California, forming the eastern and southern boundary of riacer county, and the eastern nnd northern of El Porado eounlr, and the eajrn bo r.d&ry of the State for a distance of about fiftee.i miles ; the remaining one-fourth lying within the limits of the Strte of Nevada. It is in the heart of the Sierra Nevada. By the Central Tac'Ec railroad it is about twelve hojrs eastward from San Francisco to Truckee, thenoe southeast by stage two hours, remain ing over night at Truckee. The altitude of the lake is 0,21 G feet above the sea level. Its depth is rated at 1,525 feet, but it is claimed that later soundings have given over 2,000 feet. In form it may be class ed as an irregular, nearly right an gled paralelogram ; tbe general direc tion lcing north aad south. In length it is about tweDty-two miles, in breadth from eight to twelve miles, and with its various br.ys covers an urea of about three hundred square miles. It is tbe largest aud deepest known lake at so great an altitude, and is fed by the winters' snows and pprings, and streams from the adja cent mountains which surround it, rising in many parts)to two thousand feet and upward above tbe lake. Some of the Irioutar'es are of large size, pouring into the lake a constant volume of bright, pure and sparkling water, so nearly equivalent to tbe absorption, drainage and evaporation that as nearly as I can estimate it, tbe extreme rise and fall of the lake does not exceed from three to four lect It nearly maintains its equilibri um, never freezing except in some sheltered and shallow epots, and is always cold enough, in a depth of two feet for palatable and healthy drinking at any time of day in sum mer, while tbe numerous rivulets which empty into it have an almost icy coldness in the warmest weather. There are no swamps or marshes in the region of the lake, it is one cf hills and mountains, pine and fir timber, rocks, gravel, and occasional ppotofvery productive soil, yield ing in root crops and cereals auurt dent returns, and natural meadows furnish nutritious grasses fjr Iht.--os and cattle. The water is pure and clear. The air is generally bland, always pure, salubrious, elastic, light, and owing to the great extent of water Furfaee, of qualified and prHr hu midity. During the summer there is a regular trade wind from tbe south west (a eea breeze) springing up from about 10 o'clock, a. m., ami blowing more or less fret-h until nearly sunset, and occasionally later. At night the land trade wind from tbe northward prevails. After son rise, the mornings are usually warm until the eea breeze commences. Very few calm days occur during summer. Nights are always cool, refreshing aud invigorating, with rare exceptions; and in tbe winter frequently clear and bright Arheu the day is otherwise. It is ahvavs warm and pleasant in tbe 6unsbine" during any part of the winter. Th Vlkratary Jiolr. In order that processions may safe ly cross large suspension bridges, it is necessary that they should break step in order to insure safety; and it is told, in illustration that "when tbe first suspension bridge was building in England, a fidler offered to demol ish it with his fiddle. Striking one note after tbe other, he cventuai ly hit the vibrating note or fundamen tal tone, and threw the structure in to extraordinary vibrations. Only recently a bridge went down in France under tbe tread of a regimentof infan try who neglected to break sten fin rn. lerioff it Three handed were drowned, Tbe experiment of ureatmg a tumbler or other glass vessel by frequent repititions of some particular note of the human voice belongs to the same class of phenomena.

An I'nlucky Maiden. The Alia Cali fornia gives the fol lowing account of a singular infel icitour courtship in that State. It says; "Some three months since nn item appeared in several of the daily papers in reference to the accidental shooting of a young lady at her home on Folom street, near Second. The facts are that a gentlemen callcdupon the young lady, whoso name is Nettie Holmes, and when about to depart, one of them mistook bis friend's over coat for ms ov.." and put it on. In the pneket of the overcoat he found a pistol, which he drew in a playing manner, and while attempting to cock it the hammer slipped and the weapon was explo ded Tbe ball entered tbe arm of Miss Ilolmes just above the elbow. She fainted, and the noise of the ex plosion brought the whole family in to the parlor. At first it wa3 thought she was killed, but a physician was called in, and under his care she soon recovered. The ball was subse quently extracted, and the young la dy was soon "after able to move around as lively as ever. The yoong man whose carelessness caused the accident called frequently at the house to see how she was getting along, and in time he cut Lis friend out, as the saying is, and bo became engaced to be married to her. The wedding was to have taken place in August, but the chances are that "it will be postponed. On Friday even ing last, the young man took Miss Holmes out riding. They started down the San Bruno road, but while making one of the numerous turns the bnggy was capsized and the oc cupants thrown out. Miss Ilolmes fell upon the 6ide of the bank, and rolled down so close to the water's edge that her clothes were saturated. Her escort, who was not injured bad ly, succeeded in carrying her up the bank, and afterwards to a house about half a mile distant. Here it was ascertained that ber left leg was broken and that she had received other serious injuries. One of the men in the neighborhood hitched np bis horse and rode into the Mission, where the services of the physician, were procured, and word sent to the young lady's home. Yesterday she was brought into town, and it is probable that she will be confined to her room for several montb3. The horse attached to the buggy ran away at tho time of the accident, but was captured two miles down the road. For several reasons the name of tbe young man ha3 been omitted, but certainly he ought not to have a wife if be cannot take better care of her than he has of his fiancee. Impretini Wnrat Seed. A writer says: It has been my practice for tbe last sixteen or eigh years to run my wheat for seed over a very course Eeed screen, so as to sow none but tbe very largest kernels. By so doing I have improved my wheat so that I have sold nearly all my wheat at home for seed. But in 1 ST 2 I hit upon a new plan. I had a piece of Tredwcll wheat that WB3 injured by insects in the previous laii Kii:eu ay ireezing m tbe winter, so that there were spots not worth cutting. After harvest I observed n new scattering of Leads of unusual size. It occurred to me that there was wheat that bad withstood the ravages of tbe insects and tbe rigor of the winter. I gathered enough to sow one rod square, from which I realized twenty pounds of wheat, of unusually large, even berry, which was at tbe ratio of over fifty bushels per acre; last harvest had twenty; bushels which weighed erxty-six j pounds per bushel. It is my opinion j mat we reauze tho best crops from the best and most perfect f,eed in the vegetable as well as in the animal kingdom. A family of Iowa frogs has been found ODe hundred and eighty feet under ground, and it is supposed that tbey have been nest-biding there for at least a century. Healtninena ofCUlrs. There is no doubt, under proper condition, s. residence in tbe city is more healthy and more conducive to longevity than a residence in the country. Nor does accurate investi gations prove tbat a well-regulated city is unhealthy to any adult class, O tbat i. i necessary more fatal to health iu proportion to its magnitude and population. London, tho largest city iu tbe world, i3 tbe healthiest its mortality, including all its un healthy districts, ia lighter than that of tbe other great cities of Europe or of tbe United States. Pr. Bowditch, in behalf of the Mas sachusetts Board of Health, reports that in certatin rural districts, both in land and on the seashore, ia certain towns and in certain dwelling bouses there is always to be found a develop ment of some" constitutional disease. Tbe fact has been established in re grrdto consumption. Common ob servation shows that valleys in moun tainous districts are not as healthy as the upper part of the mountains, wbert there is sunlight throughout tbe day, and that the bad drainage, damp atmospheres, malarial exhala tions of all the thinly populated low lands are injurious in their effecta up on life. There are tracts f land3 in all parts of the country where severe agues are common, Bbowing their in fluences in a general impairment of health and in a diminished loogcyity of the people. Independcvi. - ' Cnlrofrrapby. From the time that Belshazzcr was startled from his propriety by the weird handwriting on the wall the world has bad a curious interest in i,n knirngiA which translates ideas ocularly instead of vocally, and one of tho varied phases of this interest is that which attaches to tbe theory f nn existing connection between ft man's signature and his mind. Some autographs, like some intellects, are a jumble and convey no adequate in-rfip-itinn of anvthinrr in particular, but there are others, as that of bold John Hancock, that like a telegraphic tap or a photographic sign tens a voiuwe in the compass of a second. The signature of Wilard Glaz tbe youthful and yet famous auth is one of these suggestive signs manu al, and if there is any troth in the assumed relationship which it is al leged exists between the character of a man 3 autograph ana tne cnaractur nf his mind, this writer must be at once clear and bold, original and di rect of purpose.

At the festival of Saari, wife of Sceva, and of the three pirncipal Hindoo deities, which is celebrated for several days in September, and is one of the most solemn of the Hindoo festivals, every artisan, every labor er and handicraftsman offer sacrifices and supplications to the tools and implements which they use in the exercise of their various professions. Tbe laborer brings bis plough, hoc and other instruments, piles them to gether, and offers to them a sacrifice, consisting of incense, flowers, fruits, rice, and other similar articles, after which he prostrates himself before them at full length. The mason of fers the same worship and sacrifice to his trowel, his rule and other in struments. The carpenter is no less pious in regard to his . hatchet, his saw, his adze, and his plane, be fore which he is offering a sacrifice of rice and flowers, previous to prostra ting himself before hem. t The barber, too, collects his razors in a heap, and adores them with similar rites.. And the shop-keepers are in the habit of personiuing tbe stool on which, tbey sit. "O, great stool, send me to-day, many customer, with full purses and beads." Every person, in short, in this solemnity adores the instrument or too! he principally uses in gaining his livelyhood. The tools are then considered as deities, to whom , they present their supplications, that they will continue favorable, and furnish tbem with the means of living; and to such a depth does this base idola try descend, tbat the farmers in cer tain districts offer a sacrifice to the dunghill which is afterward to enrich their ground.
