Sorfulk Ouz. escrlplIoii or the African I'ola loc The Yam Massicot, or potatoe of St. Domingo, and supposed to bo a native f Africa, is raised in the garden of Mr. ohn Michel, of Charleston, from cut ings of the fruit. It does not produce l the earth, but grows upon a vine vhich runs upon trees to the height of .venty or thirty feet. Each vine bears, lore or less numerously, from twenty thirty potatoes of the kind here shown. Ianyofthem are twice or thrice the ze of these, while others are smaller, 'he vine is rich and luxuriant; the uil issues from the several joints, is rgc and beautifully shaped like a heart, lie plant readily grows in open air, id, it is thought, would be particular fiuiiful in a warm, sandy region like arnwell, if planted with a southern en exposure, against woods upon the orth. The woods would serve for ne to run upon, w hich, in the garden j Mr. Michel, is planted afoot of the 3e which supports its fruit. This po a toe is described as being superior in i(, vor to the Irish potatoe. It is not w'ept. It is cooked in the same way vitfi all other potatoes may be boiled, )iiKed or roasted, and when cooked is said to be of a bright Gamboge color. Kentucky Farmer. The Importance ol' Water. The best water for horses is soft, fresh and pure rain, river or pond wa ter; and it is absolutely necessary, to preserve health in the stable, that a con stant and ample supply sdinuld boon the premises. In order to effect this, when well or spring water is the only water to be obtained, it should be put into troughs having someday and chalk at the bot tom, and softened before use by the ex posure to the sun and air. Such is the effect a change of water has been known to produce, in a horse, that in some in stances even the loss of a great race has been, with much of reason, ascribed to this cause alone; and careful trainers have even gone so far as to carry with a horse, on the eve of an important en gagement, a supply of the water he has t)ecn accustomed to. Whyte s British Turf. Durable Polish Tor rurniiiirc. Take your table to the cabinet ma kerand make him plane oil the w ax or varnish, then take some very fine sifted brick dust, mix a little sweet oil with it, just enough to make it stick together like flour : rub this mixture on the wood with a pumice stone, until it is perfectly smooth: then add some spirits of wine or strong old whiskey, and continue rubbing until you have the required po. lish, which will be the more beautiful and far more durable than varnish. Water may bo thrown upon it without injury, and when by age the polish becomes dim, you can in five minutes restore its bcautv by rubbing it with a cloth dipped in boiled oil, or by using the brick dust, as at first. Frussic Acid. An English paper says, that cold water thrown upon an animal poisened with this most destruc tive acid, recovers immediately. A Sentleman who wished to destroy a og, gave him several drops, but seeing that he seemed to linger, he threw him into a pond of water, w hen to his as tonishment, the dog swam out and de clared himself well. SUNBUffiY Absolute acquie.crr.ee i the decisions of the ny 9Iacr & Elcly. .Substitute Tor the Sun. The newly invented light of M. Gau din, on which experiments were recent ly made at Paris, is an improved modi fication of the well known invention of Lieut. Drummond. While Drummond pours a stream of oxygen gas, through spirits of wine, upon unslacked lime, Gaudin makes use of a more cthcrial kind of oxygen, which he conducts through essences of turpentine. The Drummond light is fifteen hundred times stronger than that of burning gas: the Gaudin light is, we arc assured by the inventor, as strong as that of the sun, or thirty thousand times stronger than gas, and of course, ten times more so than the Drummond. The method by which M. Gaudin proposes to turn the new invention into use is singularly striking, lie projioscs to erect in th'c island of Point iN'eiif, in the middle of the Seine and centre of Paris, a light house, five hundred feet high, in w inch is to bo placed a light from a hundred thousand to a million gaspipes strong, the power to be varied as the nights arc light or dark. Paris will thus enjoy a sort of perpetual day, and as soon as the sun of the heaven has set, the sun of the Point Ncuf w ill rise. Oxymcl. The Oxymcl of the ancients, or a weak solution of vinegar sweetened with honey, is an excellent drink for invalids. It gives tone and vigor to the stomach and bowels, and is strong ly antiseptic. This was the drink of Ro man soldiers, lo protect themselves from the diseases to w hich they were liable. A weak solution of vinegar, sweetened with a saccharine matter, with the ad dilion of a little ginger, makes an ex cellent field drink for the farmer, in hot weather. A few grains of pearlash or Salteratus, added to a tumbler of this, makes a good temporary beer. These drinks are good prophylactics in hot weather. To preserve Hams from Flies. Take down the Bacon early in the spring, and after sunning for several hours, prepare a kettle of strong decoc tion of elder, made by boiling tops and bark, and while hot, immerse each piece, holding it in a few seconds, then hang up and smoke well (as before) with green hickory. It is better than red or Cayenne pepper, or ashes, or any thing I have tried. Ken. Farmer. Elder. An infusion of elder leaves is recommended by an English paper, as good to sprinkle over rose buds and other flowers subject to blights and the devastation of insects, lb. Cheap Blacking. To make a cheap blacking, take ripe elder berries and mash them well, and after fermentation takes place, strain out and bottle up for use. I give it the preference to all li quid blacking that 1 have tried. lb. Early Tl rnips. Sow spring turnips in February, or early in the spring, as soon as the earth can be found in order to receive the seed ; they come on at a time of scarcity of vegetables, and are much tenderer and better than those kept over winter. An hour or two is sufficient time to sow enough for a few weeks use. I have raised them the two last seasons, and my neighbors and friends seem to admire them very much. lb. Dkied Pi-.MPKixs.-The potatoe pump kin, or kershaw, when cut in small pie ces and kiln dried like fruit, put in bags and sunned occasionally, can be kept for pies the year round, and is general ly preferred by children to a fruit pie, and easily cooked. This w e dry when fruit is scarce. lb. To destroy Hats and Mice. The following has been recommended for this purpose, and is worth the trial. Take equal quantities of powdered oat meal and unslacked lime ; mix them bv stirring, w ithout adding anv linuid. and put a small quantity in a place infested by rats or mice; they will swallow this preparation, become thirsty, and the water they will drink will" slack the lime, and destroy them. Max ire is ExGLAXD.-Dr. Vie states says Mr. Webster, the extraordinary fact, that the value of the manure an nually applied to the crops in England, at current prices, surpasses in value the whole amount of ihcir foreign Pom-merce.

An eighty foot boat can be made to pass through a sixty foot lock. In all boats there are spa ces, fore and aft, which carry no bur den, and are necessary only to facilitate their motion through the water. This waste space is twenty feet in an eighty feet boat. In England they make such boats of sheet iron, in form" like a scow, and the full length of the lock ; the bow and stern pieces each ten feet long, and of the usual form, and these hung on bv stout hinges. In entering a lock these are elevated perpendicularly in a mo ment, by a simple contrivance, reducing the length twenty feet. When the Iock is passed they arc suffered to drop into their position. The Schuylkill Naviga tion Company should construct such a boat at once. It would carry twenty tons mono than the present boats. Ex. Paper. Itotary Engine. An engine upon this principle has been recently tried in Leeds, England, in the presence of several engineers. Its enormous power in so small a com pass, (the whole machinery, with the exception of the fly-w heel," being con tained in a box two and three quarters inches in depth and ten inches diame ter,) surprised every one present ; the speed was tremendous, making from t-HiO to 700 revolutions per minute. Its power was tested by placing breaks n pon the fly-wheel, which was done to the extent that the shaft was actually twisted in two pieces, but no accident occurred. It is the intention of the in ventor to apply the machine to propel carriages on common roads, for which purpose it appears admirably adapted, likewise for the purpose of marine na vigation, where the small quantity of loom u requires is a material considera tion ; in short, it will answer all the purposes wherein steam is reunited, and the expense will be considerably abrid ged. The inventor is Joseph Briggs, watchmaker, of Leeds. Father Matthew ami the 1'Iiysl clau. The above reverend gentleman ap pears to differ very much from the fa culty ; and although he docs not seem anxious to enter the list with them, still he has run full tilt against them on some important points. At the late meeting at Johnstown, Father Matthew alluded to the custom of the physicians in recommending delicate ladies to drink porter. "He would, instead of that hog wash recommend milk; and he would undertake a lady acting un der his advice, would become stronger than one acting under the advice of a doctor, who recommended porter. When ladies were nervous, doctors ordered them the very drink that produces continued cause of ner vousness." Irish Paper. Antidote against Marriage. Joy says that if a man feels very much like getting married, yet imagines he ought not to, the best remedy he knows of, is to help one of his neighbors move a house full of furniture borrow about nine of his children for three days, and hear them cry. If that fail, build up a fire of damp wood, and when the smoke in the room is thickest, hire a wontyi to scold him about four hours. If he can stand all these, he had better get married the next day; give his wife the pants, and be the "silent partner" in the great firm of matrimony. We think the remedy is severe, but as every man is liable to those things after he yokes himself, it would do no harm to try it before. PoLTixn Rooms. The late President John Adams, in his correspondence with Mr. Cunningham, gives the fol lowing definition of a Boudoir. An excellent idea a thing that might pos sibly be found useful in many dwellings: "What is a Boudoir ? It is a Pouting Boom. And what is a Pouting Boom ! In many gentlemen's houses in France there is an apartment of an octagonal form, twelve or fifteen feet across, and thirty-six or forty-live feet round, and all the eight sides, as well as the ceiling above, are all of the most polished glass mirrors; so that when a man stands in the centre of a room he sees himself in every direction, multiplied into a row ofsejfs, as far as the eye can extend. The humor of it is that w hen the lady of the house is out of temper, w hen she is angry, or when she weeps without a cause, fche may be locked up in this chamber to pout, and see in every di . lection how Ix-autiful she ii." AMERICAN. there is no app-nl hut to force, the vital principle Io. .Saturday, February 6, Mil. Newspapers.--A newspaper can drop the same thought into a thousand minds at the same moment. A newspaper is an adviser, who docs not require to be sought, but who comes to you of his own accord, und talks to you briefly every day of the common weal, w ithout dis tracting your private affairs. Newspa pers, therefore, become more necessa ry in proportion ns men become more equal, and individualism more to be feared. To suppose that they only serve to protect freedom, would" be to diminish their importance: they main tain civilization.-De Tocquevil'lc's De mocracy in America. Newspapers ix the United States.
