The day is done, and swift draws nigh Thc twilight hour, sUreneO and sweet The busy crowds go hurrying by With steady thug of thronging feet. In many a home glad watchere wait, As they have waited (ft before, To hear a band upon the gate, And well-known footsteps at the door.

Agricultural Science in France. Our ingenious neighbors are at 1 present pushing their lov of research t especi dly in the direation of agricul- I ture, and doing all thoy can at once 1 to bring all the light that tcience can supply to bear upon the art, and to introduce a knowledge of it into gen eral education ; no object can possi- 1 bly better deserve the attention of I savants and professrs, and although some Will-o'-the-Wisps may be crea ted and mislead for a time, the great : science of the earth and the supply of 1 foed, must in the end bonefit greatly by such endeavours. One of the sub- 1 jects that has attracted special atten tion of late, is the part that alkalies I play in vegotation. We all know' that without potash or soda, or both, plants cannot arrive at per'ection, t that is to say, cannot pass regularly C through all the stages of their life, t and produce the means of their I multiplication. This principle set- "t tied, it remains to disc'ver what - proportions of the alkalies are neces sary in each case. Chemical research has not yet arrived at very definite results on this subject ; the principle point ascertained, is that with res. pect to the greater number of plants cultivated on a large secale potash is far more necessary than soda. M. M. Poligot, Payen, and Otter, eminent chemists, are now busily I occupied in carrying out this investi- t gation, more completely, by careful C analyses of the ashes furnished by plants after burning. When such residues are washed in water, and the i solution evaporated, the following i highly interesting and important fact 1 is discovered, namely, that potash andt soda are found in different propor tions, not only in the same kind of plant cultivated in various soils, but also in different plants cultivated In the same soil. From evidence sueh as this, furnished by many experi-' ments, under various circumstances, it is itmpossible to avoid the conclu-. sion that plants have the power of 1 making, as it were, a choice amongst * the assimilable substances which they meet with in the soil. It cannot yet be asserted with certainty of Wheat, Sor any other great crop, that either of~ the alkalies is or is not indispensable to its perfect development ; any such I conclusion would, it is believed, bell -erronious ; but it may be stated, wit h every appearance of probability, that the presence of potash in the soil isa most important for Wheat,and for all other cereals. This is a step towards * the solution of a question, of great1 scientific interest and practical 1w po rtance.-London. Gardeners' Chroni ece and Agricultural Gazette. THE AFRICAN StLAvE TRADE STILL CARRBE.D oN UNDER THE~ AMEnloAN FLA a.-The resolution introduced by Senator Wilson has as its object a moore rigorous policy in regard to the I suppression of the slave trade. It is understoo-l that Lthis traffic in humamn beings still exists on the cost of Zan ztbar. The United States govern. meat, in order to put down this ille gal trade, appointed judges some year. ago. It Is stated a a singular * foot that the judgss so appointed, in ~'stead of attending to their busiiness, are very busily engaged in staying at home drawing their pay, allowing the the Afrionns to take o of them selves. It is also un erstood that several Consuls on that coast execute their official duty in the same conve Snient manner- It is a fact that tlig Slargest share of the trade is caried og~ Sunder the American flag ad jq \American bottoms.

The Tribune, speaking of the us o < 3oin in retail trade in New Yor k o l'iday, says : These acts of small dealers an restaurants will be looked upon rathe is flighty through shrewd devices t -ain popular favor rather than as ir licating any permanent and settle resumption of specie as a basis o trade. But not so the action of th banks, some of the wealthiest an most prominent of which are earnestl 3onsidering the propriety of makin in end of the unsettled condition o monetary affairs by boldly proolamin resumption. It waq whispered on thb itreet yesterday, with much of a torn )f authority, that in the event that n -eaotion ocourred to-day, the Cheini ial Bank would next week announce he resumption of specie payments [hat wealthy, influential, and em. nently conservative institution car veil afford to lead off in such a movo nent. As a matter of fact, the Jheinical never has suspended specie >ayments. It has no circulation 01 t8 own, and is not, therefore, 'affected >y the fluctuations of currency When the government suspended at th< >egiining of the war, this institution, vithout any formal act of announce nent of suspension, began paying out urreney where it had before paid ein, and has continued to do so to this lay. Of course, should it now return 1o speoie, it mnst exact specie or its quivalont from its customers, or must nake some special arrangements witli hem to protect itself from being made mere medium for exchanging our. ency into gold at par, which no bank )an afford to do so long as there i1 ny premium on gold. But, most ikely, their purpoe is to merely )roclaim resumption as alheoretical >ractiee, which will not be without ,reat influence. But several other banks, which real y have circulating notes afloat, were contioned as preparing to resume. iesumption by such institutions iieans the subsequent redemption of heir notes in gold ; and when that is >roclaimed by a few of the leading yanks, the whole question is settled. ki similar institution must follow he example or suffer a loss of redit. It is generally understood hat most of the banks of the city havo )repared themselves for such an Iternative, and if any few resume all vill follow the example. Thus it is iossible that before another week rolls round we may be again gladdened by amiliarity with hard money as a irculating medium, or that at least he currency afloat will represent, lollar for dollar, the real coin.

March 7 -The inquiries of he Military Committee in the matter if the sale of cadetships have lately oen directed against Congressman . C. Bowen, and enough has al eady been oscertained to render t likely that his case may prove even nore interesting in its disclosures han that of his decapitated colleague, Vhittemore. General Elliot, of Philadelphia, estifled before the committee to-day, hat he had paid $1,000 cash for the iadetship from the Second Congros *ional Distriot (Bowen's) of South Jarolina. The bargain, however, coms to have been effected so cun dingly that the witness could not say hat Bowen had got the money.

''h - command was jiined on the evenin I of the I Ith at Mr. Cudd's place, by f detachment of the 5th Cavalry, In - I der cominaid of Lieutenant Janic I Burns. r Froin this point several expedition 1 were made into the neighborhood o F Big-Island and the surrounding coun try, and a number of still-house destroyed and distiliers captured. The entire command then move towards the block houso, destroying on its way, a few still-houses and cap turing a few stills and distillers. The oxpeditiou remained at tin bloek-house three days, and whil there, searched the numerous moun tain streams in the neighborhood, an' lighted up the summits of logbael with burning still-houses. A numbe of distillers were arrested, most of whom were released by the Unite States Commissioner, upon their giv ing bond for their appearance at th< United States Court. Three of the prisoners who wore operating in Norti Carolina were carried to Ashville and turned over to the revenue authori. ties -f that State. The command then moved to Gowansville where il remained two days and then ret urned to town. The expedition was attended by n< incidents of much interest or impor. tance. While some twenty-five ot thirty still-houses were destroyed only eight or ten stills were captured. Most of the distillers had succeeded in removing and concealing their stills while they themselves had retired t( places of security. The moral effect of those raids lia been of a most salutary nature. The better class of citizens have beei aroused, and propose hereafter to takt the imatter into their own hands. Heretofore they have been afraid to report this illicit business, but wt are assured that hereafter they will report to the proper authorities any one attempting to operate an illicii distillery in their settlement. "A word to the vise is sufiloient." - Sparanburq Oazelle. FRoM WAsrINGTo.-The clectiol of General Ames, of the United Stato. Army, to the Senate, from Mississip pi, disconcerts and displeases the President. It is eveni said that the President specially requested General Ames not to accept the Senatorship, because he had the power of self. nomination and self-election as the military commander and politaiial dictator in Missiissippi. Gen. Ames had the entire management of the State election, and was in fact expect. ed, if not directed, to use his power for the promotion of Republican suoe cess in the election. Genr.al Grant, as a candidate for re-election as President, dees not wish to create new issues against himself, as he will do by permitting Generalf of the army to use their military power for their own civil advance, menit. It would render him liable to the charge of using the army for his own election as President. But Gen. Ames has resigned hii commission, arid it has been aceep~ted. If the Senate decide that lie was In. eligible as Senator, while he helda commission, lie can, probably, be elected again, now that ho is out of the army. There is some danger that "between the two stools he will fall tc the ground. Don Piatt says of Jessie Fremont: "If one wishes to understand Fre. mont, they must study the person who sits at the same table, a softened like ness of that old Roman, Senator Ben. ton. WVhat a head that is, with the face dividing equally on womanl kindnesa and great mental power.

F. 3-utlor, Massaehuotts, is a shining light ! We compared his onse t - thi of a our venturing among a pack of thorough bred hounds. There isa still better illustration of it in ono of the fablos of La Fontaine. Once upon a timne, says that writer, in effect, the beasts of the forests were visited by a groat plague: and, to take measures for appeasing the gods, the lion, king of the boasts, convoked a States General, or Con. gress, all of his subjects. After the moting had boon oran ized, the motion was mado and carried that every boast should make a full confession of his sinis, and that the one that proved to have committed the most grevious sin, should be offer ed up as a sacrifice to conciliate the favor of the scourging gods. The bear confessed that he had hug god to death many a wayfarer in his day, and had broken up many a hive of innocent and industrious bees. When he had fluished, the asseiled wisdom of the forest observed his claws, and voted unanimously that his lordship the bear hind only done what he had a right to do, and was not con sequently ia ruitable victim for the sacrifice. The wolf was the next to confesi. lie had boen a very wicked wolf i'i his titme ; lie had de .troyed enti-3 ilocks of Oheep, and even a few shop herds. The Coigress heard his co fession, looked at his teeth, and votoN his sins to be ven ial ones. At length it came the ass's turn to confess. "1 have never committed a murder in my life," he said. "The greatest sin of which I am guilty was to reach my neck over a neighbor's feie one day, when I was very hun gry, and take a mouthful of grass that didn't belong to ine." "Down with him P' was the cry from every side. "It was the sin of the ass that brought upon us the visitation from theagods I" And the ass was s:torilied. So it is with Whitteuore, and so it will be with any man pretending t'o represent,-in the Congress of the Uni ted States, even the Radicnl negro olement of the South. Bears and wolves like Butlor and Schenek can, with impunity, squander the wealth and barter away the liberties of the people they pretend to represent but only let a. helpless ass like Whit. tomore stoa a single blado of grass in the shape of disposing of a cadet. ship or two, and the cry is "sacrifice him."

The United States steamer Oneida, homeward bound, collided with the British Peniinsula and Oriental iron nail stoanier Winbay, Captain Arthur Wells Byre. The Bombay struok the Oneida on her starboard quarter, cutting off her whole stern, aud run. ning one of her timbers entirely through the bows of the Bombay, at the water line. Three times the Oneida bailed the Bombay with "hip ihoy-stand by, you've cut us down II Blow her whistle and fired her guns -all of which the officers of the Bombay says they did not hear. although the guns were distinctly heard at this port, twenty miles away. The Oneida went down, stern fore most, in about twenty fathoms of water, with twenty officers and fifty men. The Captain of the Bombay did not stop to rescue those on board nor did he, on his arrival here, report the accident, or inform the authori. ties. The first known of the disaster was next morning, when Dr. Sud dards, the surgeon, with fifteen of the crew, arrived here on foot. Only two cutters wcre available, and the officers, almost to a man, refused to take them while a man remained on board. EDICAr. PROPEnTIES OF Eo. The white of an egg has proved of late the most effioncious remedy for burns. Seven or eight successful ap plicntions of this substance soothes painl and effectually excludes the burned parts from the air. This impio remedy seems preferable to collodion or even cotton. Extraordi. nary stories are told of the healing properties of a new oil which is easily rmade from the yolk of hen's eggs. The eggs are first boiled hard, and the yolks are then removed, crushed, and placed over a fire, where they are carefully etirred until the whole sub staneo is just on the point of catching fire, when the oil separates and may be poured off. Oe yolk will yield noarly two teaspoonfuls of oil. It is in general use among the colonists of South Russia as a means of curing cuts, bruises, and scratches.

We do not know whether the object of the Bill Is to compol the Wyoming lady-voters to do their duty in the ranks of the militia, who are occasionally required thero for servioe against the Indians. But they are unquestionably liable to do this sort of service, and if it be rigidly enfore. ced upon them, we suppose we may look for a large migration of lady. voters to Wyoming, to enjoy the pride, pomp,. and crcumstance of militia women, .A Washiagton dispatoh of' the 4th insttnt eays :"The President was congratulated by all the members of thb Cabinet, at the meeting to-~day, on the result of the first year of hIs add ministration, .particularly on the Information brought in by Secretary luoutwell that gold has fallen to t'hirteen tnd three-eight..
