As tbat time tn tho lifo of our princi pal crops.is nt band, when their roots are ramifying in every direction and filling lue ground in search of food, it becomes those who practice deep culture to pause and consider whether that practice ia best, and give a reason for their manner of cultivating. Whalcvci- those reasons may be, and however plausible, there is not v. proposition connected with tho whole science of agriculture more falla cious, or a practice more iiurtful in its effects, than deep culture. To contend for deep culture is to ignore the very nra; principles of vegetable life. Hoots sro the feeders of the plant, through which it receives those chemical elements of the soil necessary to its growth and development. Nature supplies these feeders just as she furnishes arteries and veins to the animal organisation, and precisely for tho same purpose. Not a root is ever put forth by a plant that it not necessary for tho growth and matura ti n. of that pl .it, and required during its existence. Nature does no superflu ous work. The roots of the forest oak that lives for an ago, continues durinj all this time to grow and ramify-porme ating the ?oil, wido and deep, in cvor direction. The same fact holds in regar to minor plants-such as our annuali thu mature in cns season. Tho littl fibrils th.-t spring out ss the seed veg? lates, continuo to grow through the sei son, enlarging and extending themsolvt to the utmost depth of the pulverize soil. They ramify and spread theraselvi in every possible direction, and complot ly occupy the soil. Cut these tend fibrils and you destroy what are destim to be the main supporting roots of tl plant during tho sesson of fruiting. Yt ?tun the plant, inflicting an injury fro which it does not recover. Time is an important element with o annual cultivated crops. The season growth ia short at best, and crops need be stimulated instead of retarded. Ter ing and cutting tho roots of a pla arrests its growth and shortens its seas of maturation. Nature . Beta to wo afresh to repair damage done. This ; paration precess consumes time, and ! second growth of roots hi much less v orojojithsa the original. Consequent the plant does not recover from the jury, and Its crop of fruit is proportii ally shortened. Tho argument tl nature more then compensates - this 1 by the multiplied number of roots ] fOrth .In lion .if tho iarnrrtinr) nura ! proves the extent of the injury and importance of timo in its reparation. What, then, do these fncts teach ui reference to the cultivation of field ero If corn and cotton require roots, why violeuce to the laws of nature by c stantly tearing thom off? Nature is best guide. Assist, but never frusti her designs, ir* this consiste! thf no of hun who cultivates tho soil, as wei tho truo philosophy of life. This p ciple holds in tho vegetable a? in ani life. As we dare not. never an arter vein with the expectation of in vigora tho I' islth of an animal, so we muot lacerate tho roots of a plant, expec to promote ita growth. In the ono we debilitate tho animal, and in other cripple the plant. In both w mi-ohicf instead of good. The le taught us in this study of nature's in their application to vegetation ia mistakenly plain. Tho soil, proper!} riched and prepared, should be give the planted crop. Let it have ui turbed possession during ita eoasoi growth and maturation, that its i m ny thoroughly permeate . and oct tho soil. They a*? feeding the plant is to produco tho fruit, and ofttimes out to a considerable distance in se of food. Lot not tho plough-share vade this domain to disturb this < ; process of nature; ?ts business isoi surface, attacking the grass and v that may appear there. Having deeply subsoiled and pulverized the ', it will need no more breaking durinj season. Tho roots of the planted will readily penetrate its depth, de the impacting effects of the hea raina. To subsoil again and agai more than folly. ! No good can pos result, and a great deal of hann wi tho inevitable consequence, for it is acus? to talk of ploughing corn, c or any other crop deep without cu the roots. It cannot be done. The rational course left tile planter, vs disposed to observe the dictates o ture in this regard is to adopt a sj of surface cultivation, merely koi under the grass arid weed? and lc hie crops grow. He can no more his corn grow by cutting off ita than the surgeon can make a w heal by constantly leaving it open, turo in both cases demands non-i fcrence. She alone eau make a bi cotton or heal a wound, and ber di? should be the guide of all who o \' V . BUCCC?3. . There are other facts connected this subject that should not be overh in estimating the comparative advai of deep or shallow culture. These resolve themselves into tho propo? that surface-.enlvw* j husbands the turo of the soil and allows it to be s pri?ted by the growing crop, while nu?lure promotes it? ev#pi???tioB escape. Tum up the soil deeply hot summer day, and you expose i to the action of the sun and wind, rapidly carry off tho moisture by ? ration, whereas, by using tho ? sweep no such exposure ia made, moisture from the rains of winte spring. Hes embedded in the boll cannot so readily escape, under th serr?til operation of Gorface ct tion. A certain degree of moistt the soli hi intlispenaaWy necessary growing crop, in dissolving the forti psrsixeirtiea of the coil, and facjll th enr assimilation by the plants. 1 lect a duo supply of water, ls one < objects ie. deep breaking, and to pr nrt'3 retain it for tho uso and bent the growing crop is an important <3 rattrm with the cultivator. It bel ol* tho deep system of culture. The practice of deep culture is pistol? violative of the lawft of tiftlUre, and is the source of more ill-success io farming than ally other one mistake. It is con trary to tho principles of reason and common senge, and not sustained hy practical experience, lt is an error both in theory and practice, and cannot be justified by thc liberal construction of any principle in nature. Let us, then, as agriculturists, awake to a proper conception of tho magnitude of this error. Let us heed the teachings of nature so long as WJ are dependent upon her productions! she is our beat guido, acd when we violate her precept* wc may not claim her blessing. THE MICROPHONE. How I'rof. Hughes Mlacovori the .'.leann ot j Magnifying Ho-.'iida-The Tramp of s J'ly Distinctly Auulble. A paper lately read before the Royal Societv ahhoUuccs the invention, by Prof. Hughes, of this astonishing instru ment or apparatus, which opcus to our ears a univese of sounds hitherto inaudi ble-lust as the microscope revealed a ! world of minute life nud structure un known before. Like Mr. Ellison, I'rof. Hughes was one day employing the tele phone for acoustic experiments. He wished lo investigate the effect of sono rous vibrations upon tho electrical be havior of conductors, led to this idea by the way in which selenium is known to become electrically affected by light, and also by tho researches of Sir William I Thomson upon the electrical conduct of strained wires. Tho Professor had a ? stretched wire on his telephonic circuit, uud, though he talked anti plucked nt it, no effect followed until it broke. At that moment the telephone uttered a sort , of "shh," which was very curious. He placed tho broken cuds together under a weight, and obtained again faint sounds, which were improved when tho wires were connected by iron nails, or a steel watch chain-the more piecer an J more diverse in substance from tho conductor seemingly the better. Experimenting still further with his broken circuit, es pecially in the direction of this whisper from Science about "more pieces," he found in:tallie powder or linn metal filings wonderfully augment the power of transmitting sounds ; while shot, in a bright condition, platinum, carbon, and mercury also gave good results, particu larly the last. Following up this clue, Prof. Hughes hit upon a plan of HUB pending finely divided mercury in astick of charcoal by heating the latter and plunging it into quicksilver, whereupon the charcoal becomes infiltrated with the ?mercury in minutest but continuous par* 1 tides. Inserting a "transmitter" of this 'sort in his circuit au absolutely amazing I sensitiveness to souud, as well -ts power of conveying it with the utmost fidelity, was displayed by the apparatus. A ! touch ol tho finger on the vibrating f?late was conducted to the speaking end n volume of vibration like the rustle of a forest; the stroking of a ->.mol's hair brush on a card was tnognlhci into the sound of a loud whisper ; the beating of a pillas or the tick of a watch was found to pnss with perfect clearness through a resistance representing a hundred mites bf spuce; and, when n fly happened to walk over tho plate, the tramp of its feet was most distinctly caught, like that ol some six legged horse trotting, and it j was, moreover, heard to trumpet from its raised proboscis like au elephant in au i Indian jungle. Sounds, in fact, totally I inaudible before to human ears wcro nr I rested and reported by this simple and i accidental expedient of interrupting the [electrical circuit with a finely divided ?conducting material. There is almost no doubt that tho perfected microphone will convey to us that hidden ripple ol tho sap rising ia growing trees and planta, which Humboldt said might be a continuous melody in the auditory or gans of earth's smallest creatures.-Lon don Telegraph. SNATCHING- IN OHIO.-As has already benn announced, there is intense excitement in Cincinnati over the finding of the body of the Hon. John Scott Har rison, ? on of ox-President Harrison, in a medical college in that city. He died suddenly Saturday night or Sunday (norning, and the funeral took place Tuesday morning, tho body being in terred in the family burying ground, at North Bond. When preparing the ?:\vo, it was found that the grave of ..ugust Davin.), who died two days ugo. had beeu despoiled. Devina was a friend of thc Harrisons, and the discovery caused thom to bo especially caroful in preparing tho grove of John Scott Har rison. I: was strongly walled up, tho body: io a inc tal io casket, placed in, and a stone as heavy as sixteen mou could handle nut on it. Tho funeral over. Carter Harrison, a son of deceased, and George Eaton, a grand-son, carno to Cin cinnati to search for tho body of their friend Devins. Guided by a clue given by an item in the morning papers they went to tho Ohio Medical College, and in the dissecting room, a ropo being drawn from tho chute, a body was found attached to it. Mr. Harrison said : "This is not my friend ; he was much wasted with eonsusar-iion, while this is a stout man.." Col. 8noU Bak ->r, chief of police, who waa. with him. suggested that he ta!;o a good look. A cloth over tho face, the only covering about the body, was removed, when C?rter Harrison trem bled and turned pale, Baying, "Great Ged I it's father?" Tho body was not mutilated, but tho whiskers were cut off and the jugular vein cut and blood let out. Tho body was taken to an nndcr taker's and prepared for reburial. The discovery of the robbery was made on Wednesday morning, and frienda carno to Cincinnati to find the body already recovered. The big atone had been re moved, and the guard placed to watch the grave ia nowhere to be found. - Jonathan JR. Bass of Cambria, Ni ! ZXZTZ. Ccuntv, N. Y., Laa nui a joint in ? his body.

During thi; Spring of tlie year. 18G2, wheo the war was in proge?*, u number of army oftloent ?eft Boston in tbe new sail ing ship "M?rc!;*?nt" for a voyage on Ship Islat' iSi Atnollg the passen^jra were Dr. Hook er, Lieutenant Prince and Emerson, and tlie write-; and wo all witnessed the scent I uni about to describe. Early ?ne morning, Dr. Hooker called from the deck to us below that a shark was following the ?hip, We took iii is to be n practical joke and did not move from our state rooms. Hut Whell we d?-< go upon deck, about six o'clock, We looked over the stern of the ship and there ?aw an enormous, shovel-nosed shark following us, but keeping hid distuncc about two hundred feet. Every person on board was called to look at the hugo fish. The old nea captain said it wai no un usai incident to nave a shark follow a ship f< r au entire voyage. They subsis' lar^uy uti the waste matter thrown over board ; and, as they uro very fast swim mers, can always keep up with ? vessel. It was proposed Jay Captain LOW?B, one of thc coptains on" board, to make an ef fort to capture him. We threw into thc oceau pieces of bread aud other articles of food, end were greatly interested to see him eat them. The ship was searched but ibero was not a harpoon to be found ; there wa-i not oven a shark honk. The pros pect of capturing this grcnl fish was not ;ery bright, until Captain Lewis pro posed to iirike a noose mid lower it down ?uto the water, aud thus entangle him. Hut Sir Shark kept away fror, the rope. I then proposed tc put a pie :e of polk big as my hand, on a common fish lin ?, and by a little mnneuvcrin;, of the bait induce thc fish to pass his ?iead into the noose. But he was vesy cautious and would not near the ship when I lowered tho piece of . ork, until two little pilot fish, that rodo ou his back, one on eacb side of the great fin, came forward anc inspected tho bait, then returned um took their places. They had barely limo to finish thi action whoo tho shark swam uudor thi stern of the Hhip, and opening his pou derona jaws attempted to take tho bail But I held it just above his nose, notini ho possessed no power to leap or juin up as many fish do. I also watched with curious int?r?t the pilot fish,which, having performe their office, were now quietly clingin besido tho fin of his back. While Captain Lewis was preparing noose which was to bo slipped over tb shark's head, I asked about tho pilot fist "Every shark bas one," said the ca| tain, "and sometimes two ; and when tb shark is without one he is shy and wi seldom approach very near a ship.'1 These pilot fish seemed to be five < B?X inches long, and of a yellowin! brown '.olor, having longitudinal dru strips on their sides and resembling mut tho perch of New England ponds, seemed strang that so powerful a fn ?ho>*i? placo so much dependence on sue insignificant creatures. The captain again lowered his rop but the current of water drew it asu and tho attempt to entrap the fish w again a failure Then, some one suggested h?lding tl Inoose opou by retaining ir "bite ? hand, and when tho shark put his hei over tho rope in order to get at the po; still dangling from the end of tho lin line, to let the uoose drop aud pull aw At the end till thc large rope tighten around his body. This was tried, b tbs shark slipped out. He was, howov so hungry that be immediately return* and tho maneuver was repeated, and wi success, the second time.

BO, it slipped down to bis tail ; and wit he felt it getting uncomfortably tight paid no moro attention to the bait, I .urning slightly gave one flap with ', mighty tail that nearly took the whole us overboard. Captain Lewis, with I rapidity almost of thought, made a ti of tho rope about a fastening, but powerful was tho fish that ho seemed retard the movement of the ship, not to drag ber backwards. A largo number of men now got hi of the rope aud succeeded in drawl him out of the water, and left him B pended under tho stern. After tho ?hark bsd time to expin for bo never stirred after being pul out of tho water-the sailors hitchei tackle to him and swung bim around tho ?ide of the ship, where ho remaii until nearly noon-time, when the sail got permission to open him aud take tho blubber, which ia charged with that is extremely serviceable about ship. This was found to contain sov< pailsful of oil. After dinner, one of tho passeug Dr. Hooker, nignified hil desire to h tho jaws of the shark aa a moment* the. unusual deane.

He ia blowing around I among his acquaintances in my presence I that he will "feather his nest'' while he is in office. The general reputation he has among all that know him is that he is totally lucking in ono redeeming qual ity. Whoever recommended him did not know him, evidently.

It was said by Condy Raguet, in the Examiner and Journal of Political Econo my, which he published during tho Nul lification controversy, that tho phrase, "We, the people," employed in the pre amble to the Federal Constitution, in stitutes the chief ground upon which the consolidation school of politicians .rely for the support of their theory. It is not n little singular that the great cause of uuiisi?iui?uaal liberty nu??i? bc c?utuig ered. purely by the imperfection of the English language; and that the descend ants of the freest nation in Europe should bo in danger of becoming slaves, merely because they speak the English language. The word "people" in all other languages has a plural. Thus in Greek, laos nos laoi ; in Latin, populus has populi ; in French, peuple hos peuples; in Spanish, Eeublo has peublos; in Portuguese, novo as povon, and in Italian, uopoio has Sopoli. Unfortunately, in English we o not use a plural to people ; but had the idiom of our language admitted of it, thors cst. be no doubt t_b?t the isD,rn?,re admitted of the Constitution woulcfhave been, "we, tho peoples." If any one will refer to the journal of tho Conven tion, he will there find that in the origi nal draft of the preamble the words were, "We, tue people of the States of New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, Connecticut, New York, &c." In this case the plural, "We, the peoples," would unquestionably have been used, and there could have been no reason for changing it, merely because in tho amendment made in the phraseology by the committee appointed to revise the style, the enumeration of tho names ot the States waa omitted, and in their places was substituted the shorter but equivalent phrase "of the United States. In speaking of several nations at tho paine time, a Frenchman would say, for cxanv-ie, "les peuples of Spain, Portugal and Italy aro favorable to con ? stitutionul government." We would say I in English, "the people of Spain, Portu gal and Italy, &c," and yet uo ono from this would infer that we supposed the inhabitants of those three countries con stituted ono nation. Had the Constitu tion been drawn up in Latin, it would huve read "vox populi," and in that case wc 'Lie vcr should have heard of the doc trine of an aggregate mass or consolida ted government. - Thomas D.

Jones is a miller, and from boyhood has brooded over some means of improving flour by granulating instead of crushing tho ker nels of vJieat. He was poor, and it was slow, tedious work experimenting in other men's milis, but one night the idea came to him in a dream at a Toledo hotel. It is to apply diamond quartz to the mill-stones instead of picking them, tho secret being in applying the quartz. Senator Bowett, an Ohio Quaker, gave Joues the opportunity to prove his method a success in his mills, but after receiving $100,000 for its inf -eduction here, the inventor went to Great Britain, where he sold the right to use his pat ent by counties for hundreds of thousands of dollars in the aggregate.
