Forcing Vkqetabik Plants.?It is time to make preparations for Btarting early vegotnT'le plants. In the more Northern States tho season is none too long for tho maturing of many of our most valuable kinds of annual fruits and vegetables, and if one desires the enjoyment of these, extended several weeks or months, it becomes necessary t? start the plants finite early in Spring. The most general method of doing this is that of forcing in hot-beds. These should be located on dry, ground, and if against the south side of a building or light hoard fence, greater heal will be secured and a more equable temperature ran be preserved than in more exposed sitn it ions. Tho method of preparing a hut-bed may bo briefly described as follows: *1*11e lir. t thing to bo secured is the reijuisite numbei* of glared sash, the usual si/.c being t!iree fet't wide by six long. The glass usod*.may be' six inches wide and eig'.it t-i twelve Jong, or larger, but small sizes ;uv less-expensive and not to liable to break:-. j-e. The bars upon which the gloss rests tun igthwiso of the sasli, there being no .-inlars, as in common window bus!i, l.ut ilie glass overlap somewhat like the >>n a ivjf. This not only adds to the strength, liut insures the sheddiny ill' water which falls upon it. Fresh horse 111 mure is the material mast generally employed fur sjonor.itiiu; In.:), and this hhould lie s .'cured some time before it is desired fur use. That which is uke:i fresh from the stable, from day t> d.iy. is host, and it should he put under e >ver, nr, if left out placed i:i conicd h - tps in order tm prevent b in.; soaked with w.iUr, ni'.ieh wiil prevent rapid fermentation, s-. 11 :s.iry to the generation of heat. If loaves can l?-? ii 11. these m ly he mixed iti with the in mure, and ill j entire heap forked over occasionally in order to secure a homogenous mass, if the beds are to b< located on dry, jtoroits soil, where there will ho no danger of water remaining in any excavations nude, then a pit a foot or two in depth may be ;it de .if the size proposed foi the hot lieds, and the m'.nitre thrown in at the proper tiin>-, otherwLv it is best to mak?j the l>ed ":i the snri.ue. Frames should be m.ule of plunk, and as wide as the sash are long, and of a length to correspond %vit!? the numljer of sash tc be employed. A h.tndy frame is one that will hold the sash?say nine feet or a little over in length, with Mucks nailed in the corners to hold th.- t>!- 11 Ic linaly in place. The front pi ink ni.iy lie about six or eight inches wide, smd the back one twelve to fourteen. This will give the surn the necessary an^le to insure i h: p... -'r.g oil of the water which may fall upon them. When all these preparations have boon made the manure may be put in place, carefully spreading it. in layers, pressing it .luwn gently with the back of a fork or a spade, but not treading upon it with the feet. The manure should not be less than I'ightcen indus in depth to secure a good ind prolonged heat, and two feet is still better. The manure he tp should be a little longer and wider th m the franus wliiah ire to be placed upon it when finished. As soon as the manure libeen placed in position, set tlie fruits upon it and put on the sash, closing tightly. A quantity uf jood friable and rich soil should bo obt.iinxl if it has not ulrciuly been secured, and copt in readiness for us - when require.!. L'he hat-bed should be examined daily, and is soon as fermentation lias raised the temperature to eighty or ninety degrees, soil X) the depth of lour to six inches, carefully pulverized, ut this time should be put on md raked level and smooth. In two or ;hree days this mas.; of earth will li ivc be:amc wanned through. after which the seeds may be sown. From this time for.vard careful attention vill be required. J; the he.it becomes too strong during the middle of the day, the sashes must be raise ! su;!ici ntly to give air ind lower the temperature. Also water nust be applied when required, and in cold lights the frames must be covered with itr.iw mils, eld c.upeta or some similar ma ,CIIU-JS LU htx'jJ vuii im; As the plants advance in size it may be leeessary to raise tlie entire fr.nm.-s a few nches, banking up with fresh manure at ,he same time. Also as the transplanting season approaches, give more air during lie day in order to lfimlen the plants and prepare them for removal to the garden. Early cabbages, tomatoes, peppers and iimilar plants may be started duriug Feb uary and March, and it is now none too arly to begin preparations for the almost ndispensable hot-bed. DEVICES FOR SMUGGLING. Some interest was recently excited in :his city by the casej of a very pretty young French milliner who had obtained contracts from a number of prominent and fashionable ladies to bring over dresses for :hcw from Paris. Sho undertook to get .hese dresses through tho Custom House without paying the duty, but was detected xnd arrested, and now bids fair to serve Dut a full term in tho Penitentiary in consequent. She is well educated, speaks English fluently, and is so young and good looking that her hard fate has awakened a rVnl r,f commiseration. A few years ago a woman who had landed From one of the foreign steamers, was observed by a female detective to walk as though her dress was extraordinarily heavy. She was arrested, and a large silk underskirt or pctticoat that 6he wore, was found to be stitched off, from top to bottom, in squares, and, instead of being wadded with cotton, every square cont lined a gold watch, amounting, in the aggregate, to several Tl.n=.? ,.n ,. r,c,...t/.,i A pretty serious joke was once played on a Massachusetts clergyman by a dry-goods dealer from the same town in which he resided, who happened to meet him while travelling in Canada. "I have got a good deal of baggage," said the merchant: "you don't appear to have scarcely any, and if you would take along a few of my trunks with you, it would cost you nothing and would be quite an accommodation to me." The clergyman readily consented, but when he was crossing the border tho trunks were broken open and found to contain dutiable goods! lie h.ul very hard work to extricate himself from the dilemma, which he finally succeeded in doing by proving his good character. Ever since customs liave b-ien imposed human ingenuity had been taxed in a thousand ways to evade their payment.?N. Y.

JohnI" I TUB TARPAJN OB ORIGINAL WILD HOBSE. Numerous troops of wild horses haunt | I the Steppes oast of the Urol Mountains. | (Similar troops of the3e animals wander j over the -whole extent of the Steppes of Central Asia, which the most accredited modern naturalists repute to be the origiThesii'^^viteeds are called tarpons, a word uflp^Hpidly derived from the Tartar. Shall we look upon them as the representa tivcs of the prunitivo Dreea, wncnco uavo i sprung nil the varieties known at the present day; or shall wo see in them, as well as in the wandering horses of the prairies and pampas of the New World, merely tlib | descendants of individuals which have es' caped from the thralldom of man ! This ' j latter hypothesis seems to he the most probable. But there is good ground for believing that, living a wild life, these animals are gradually returning to the priuiij tive type. They have lost the harmonious ' | graccs of form, the beauty and the vigor ' I which we admire, in the high-bred steed, perfected by the assiduous care of man. ': There seems as great a difference beI tween the Arabian horse and the wild j horse of the Steppes as between tho aci complished American gentleman and a j Malagasy savage. They arc of small stature; their limbs are lank; their coat is course, woolly, rude and rough. With the I ' ] tarpaus of the nvit'ieru Steppes it is thick, , flaky and frizzkd. Their mouth and nos I trils arc garnished with long hair, not un': like a] go.it. Their color ij generally brown, ' i though a few are blacb or white. They have a large head, with the forehead pro'1 jecting above tlio eyes; a straight chamfer, ' j and long ears customarily laid back close i to the head. II The troops of the tarpar.s arc subdivided I into herds of twenty or thirty, each herd i usually living apart, and only uniting in a '! compact phalanx wlien a common danger J; threatens, or a necessity arises of niigratj ing from one region to another. | The gaunt, grim wolves, which hunger J i drives from their neighboring forest, and j man, who hunts them hotly, either to re'! duco them into subjection or kill them for j their flesh, are almost the only enemies they have any reason to dread. The war '; like nomad tribes of the Black and Caspian I coasts, and of Central Asia, have no other i breeding-grounds tlua the Steppes which ' i they inhabit. Thitlur come Cossack and ' Mongol, and Kiigiiis and Kalmuck, to | choose their chargers. They catch them ' by means of a lasso, which they throw with 'surprising dexterity, r.nd in a few day train | them into a suitable docility. j When in want of their hide and flesh, the nomads hunt, tlto.it with yun, arrow, or spear; for bippophsigy, which a few zeal( ous amateurs are now endeavoring to popu| larize in Franco and England, has been j practiced from time immemorial by the in-j I Habitants 01 uie i In connection with the subject, it is curi; OU3 tliat the horse is nowhere found in a ! certainly wild state. When tlio New World I was discovered there was not a horse grazj ing on the rich pasturage from Greenland , to Terra del Fuego. All that wo have I are defended from European stock; and yet, as scientific research has shown, horses j oncc existed on this continent, preceded in i still earlier times by animals of tho samo character, but differing in] the hoof and j other points.

CONGRESS THEN AND NOW. I entered Congress fifteen years ago, says Senator Colliding. From then till now my opportunity for seeing both before and behind the scenes has been improved with diligence, and nothing is more certain than w the change for the better in the executive Ji departments in both wings of the capitol and in the Supreme Courts. In 1859 a large proportion of the members of the House of Representatives went habitually -p armed with deadly weapons. Drinking to I excess was surprisingly common. Large i,?n, 1,? before evening, unfit to do business. Liquor was kept, as far as I know, in every committee-room in tho capitol?book-cases doirg duty as side-boardB. Gambling and other dissipations were very common among public men, and vice and debauchery were the topics of loud and unclean jest. Venal ^ lobbying , was too palpable and prevalent to be overlooked, and ou all sides lax practices nri prevailed which now would be scarcely credited; All this is changed for the better in all rpqnppfTinunr is not toloratod in the capitol. Formerly every cabinet officer, and many others, rode in a public carriago as a matter-of-course; now every cabinet officer, who merely allows the old custom to go on, finds himself trumpeted through the world as a great offender. George| Washington, vhcn President, rode with six liorsc3, ana J witli out-riders. When he wished to use ; JL horses lie ordered tliem from the war department, at the public expense, and the out-riders also. I m A FEMALK SAII.OIt. In Scotland a woman lately died whose career has been one of singular experience , for her sex. ller name was Betsy Miller, the daughter of William Miller, a shipowner and wood merchant, doing business at the gort of Glasgow. Miss Betsy, for she was never married, was for more than twenty ? years captain of the good old brig Cleotus, of Saltcoats. She received her command < """ !>" > f.iflicv wlin nt. first owned the M brig, and ended by owning it herself. Iler J}, father was also interested in several vessels which traded directly with New York. Miss Betsy, before she went to sea, acted as "ship's husband" to her father, an apprenticeship which gave her all necessary experience, until, finally, her adventurous and CO romantic spirit impelled her to go to sea as j>, a business. Iler father at first somewhat reluctantly gratified her caprice, but soon \V found that Betsy was the best and most reliable captain in his employ. She is represented as having shown remarkable qualifications for the position, proving to bo a skillful navigator, a thorough disciplinarian V and an excellent sailor. In port she filled the position of supercargo, and showed re- m mnrVnKIo business dualifications, which | brought the natural result of pecuniary I success. She could always have her choice I j of foremost hands, as it was considered a . ? great, good fortune, among the sailors, to i I ship under the command of a female cap- j tain. Betsy Miller -weathered the storms j of the deep when many commanders of the! I' j sterner sex have been driven to destruction j |j j upon the rocks. Her slory is well known Jj, j in the City of Glasgow.
