Will End, that as C1.V2.40 cubic inches
form a standard bushel, urd there are

the short cut, being nearly accurate, is th
economic one ; the first ruie is in the law

Farmers' Ciuts.
We are pleased to ste that Farmers'
Clubs are being organised in various jtiar-
ters, and if properly conducted they must
prove of great advantage to the practical
farmer. A monthly assembling together
of one doien intelligent agriculturists to :
compare notes and mutually coin iiuinh ate
thair experiences for tLe benefit of all, j
would neeesarily be promotive of good ; j
but in addition to this, it offers an occasion
to brinz residents of the same vicinage. !
fallowing the same pursuit, face to face,
Making them better neighbors and better
friends. They are permitted to know one
smother, and that is a great point gained
in the science of good neighborhood.

' Take a forked stick, about two feet long,

Lard Candles.
We learn by Cist's Cincinnati Adverti

provements of the age, is a new species of
caudle, which has recently been made in
Cincinnati, and which will shortly be
tff. red for sale. It is calculated to super
sedc all other kinds in use, by its beauty, j
freedom from guttering, hardness, and
capacity of giving light, in all of which
respects it is represented as superior to
every species of candle. This candle, it is
said, is nearly translucent, and can be
made to exhibit the wick wheu the candle
is held up between the eye and the light,
whilo the surface is as glos?y as polished
wax or varnish. The principal ingredient
is lard. vTuking durability into account, it
can be made as cheap as any other candle,

at St. Petersburg who seems to be unusually
eU iufnriued IIe furn;shel EOme :,lfr.
CTng m3temcn as to tne strength ot the
iusg;an military forces, which we translate
for lite Tribune: " The actual strength of
,llC eu,irc Russian army is known to no
one, not oven to the Government, because
the numbers in the numbers in the lists
:ire always greater than the corresponding
numbers of the troops. If then we make
a statement on the subject, it is with the
understanding that it is what enylit to be,
aud that what if must be a great deal lees,
The number of foot (Guard corps, Grena
dier corps, six Infantry corps, special
Caucasian corps, Recruits, Cossack infan
try on the Mack Sa, Greek Battalion,)
is 010,31 men. Tho regular active cav
airy, (Guards, Grenadiers, six Infantry
corps, Reserve cavalry, Caucasian corps,)
is 101,0!):! men. The artillery in activity
counts 4 1,1 '02 men. Adding the engineers.
(poutonnit rs, pioneers, workmen, &c.,)
aud the staff, &c, the entira active army
will amount to 810,000 men. A calcula
tion made Lefore the campaign in Ilunga-
ry is said to have shown that there were
on paper 30,000 men of all arms who
could be employed to cross the European
frontiers.
'1 his number was diminished
by 10 per cent, when the march actually
begun. Ou the other hand, by calling out
the reserves and the men at all the depots,
there are 240,000 men additional, on paper.
After all it may be assumed as certain that
for a European war beyond the western
frontiers between the Baltic and the Dan
ubian Principalities, Russia hag Lot more
than 300,000 men, and of these a quarter
must be kept in Poland."

Grenadiers for Hungary.
The public has observed, undoubtedly,
the large numbers of young men wearing
the Hungarian hat and feather since the
visit of Kossuth to this city ; but is the
public awate that they are members of a
regiment of Grenadiers organizing for the
"world's battle on the banks of the Dan
ube !' Wedon't believe it is. aud therefore
request its humble acknowledgments for
the information.
These young men average five feet four
inches in height, ninety-eight pounds in
weight, and sixteen yeais in age. The
regiment, of say sixteen hundred of them,
will be irresistible when they land on the
shores of the Danube, if not sooner. We
understand that since the organization
commenced they have employed all their
holiday money in the purchase of the all
important Hungarian hat, and garrets and
lo ts have been ransacked to unearth from
the debris their grandmothers' black ostrich
feathers. These render their equipments
complete. Their tight breeches, admirably
fitted to display their total want of calf, at
least in the lower extremities, and their
lit: la coats a compromise between a
inonkey-jiicket and sacquc have already
been furnished by the providence of their
fathers or the improvidence of their tailors.
The most serious difficulty that these
young men havo had to contend with, has
been the cultivation of the Kossuth w hiskers
and moustaches, another indispensable
qualification for the Hungarian service.
The recent extraordinary rise in the prices
of hair tonics and bear's oil ran, we are
confident, be traced to this source. They
have also "run their faces'' at Bozin's and
other perfumers for most extraordinary
quantities of hair dye, to give the proper
Hungarian tinge to the hirsute adornments
of their lips and cheeks. Thus they realize
the aspiration of dyeing for Hungary, even
before leaving their anxious mothers !
The volunteers in this perilous service
against the absolute powers of Europe
may be seen almost hourly in Chestnut
street. They especially haunt the eating
houses and bar-rooms, their unmistakeable
motto being Hungary aud thirsty."
They have a good word to say to every
civilian that comes in, and are never known
to decline "a ftp's worth'' in the cause
proclaimed by their motto. They may
also be seen about the entrances to segir
shops, ready for a smoke with any unfeath
ered biped who may be stimulated to a
segar's worth of sympathy by the sight of
their black plumes. They go to concerts
when they can get free tickets, and during
l lie singing honor the performers by enthu
siastic talking ofcourseall about Hungary.
They also hang about the entrances of
theatres, ready to accept the first check
offered by any departing dead-head, who
may be moved to sympathy by the silent
appeal of the hat and feather. They es
chew the old Yankee 'hurrah" and cry
"Eljen Kossuth !" and occasionally "Eljen
Cass !'' "Eljen Douglass !" and " Eljen
Webster I" They avow themselves bound
body, breeches, boot and black feather, to
the doctrine of "the solidarity of tho peo
ples," and each one of them is ready to
unsheathe the sword of Washington, or
any other weapon they may be furnished
with, for the purpose of decapitating 1-Vuuo
of Austria and Nicholas of Kussm.
We have a profound repect and admi
ration for these young heroes. As we were
passing up Chestnut street during one of
the recent slippery days, we met one, and
as we paused to admire his lofty carriage
and impressive feather, down he came, ko
shoot in an envious gutter. He rose
bruised and blushing, damaged inexpress
ibly in his bifurcal habiliments, and with
Ins black plume dripping with the dissolved
soil of the street. But he speedily recov
cred himself, and exclaiming, "there is no
obstacle to him that wills," passed on amid
the admiring looks of hundreds of specta
tors. Will not this hero rise to distinction
on the banks of the Danube ? He is Col
of the regiment of Philadelphia grenadiers.
His name has been heretofore John John
son, but he has changed it to "Lajus Kos
suth Johnsonskcnyi.'' Eljen Johnsons.
kenyi ! Hiilad. Bulletin.
Thurlow VVeed, Editor of the Albany
Journal, is now in Europe ; in a letter to
the Journal, from Paris, he says the
English have put on a new nnd superior
class of steamboats to run across the Chan
nel. The distance between Folkestone
and Boulogne is 39 miles ; this was run
over in two hours. This is pretty good
for a marine steamer. The cars on the
Boulogne and Paris Railway are heated by
hot water. The track is sosolid and smooth
that it is difficult for a passenger to realize
that he is travelling. Everything is easy,
comfortable, and secure.
The Ion. Rufus Choate.in a late speech
in Boston, referring to the stormy aspect
of the political horizon ia Europe, said :
"It has seemed to me as if the prerogatives
of frown, and the rights of men-, and' the
hoarded" jp resentments and revenges of
a thousand1 years were about to unsheath
the sword for a conflict, in which blood
shall flow as in the Apocalyptic vision, to
the bridles of the horses, and in which a
whole age of men shall pass' away in
which the great bell of time shall sound
out another hour in which society itself
shall be tried by fire and steel whether it
is of nature and nature's God, or not!
