Tlie test of this steam plow was made in the presence of a considerable congregation of peopb', including Gi'ii. Ca pron, of the United S'a'cs Agricultural Hurcau at Washington. The machinery is by moans complicated. At oppu-ite sites of the space to be til--wed are two steam engines upon wheels. On the tiial on Tuesday they sto-'d three hundred yards apait. The plow has six shares. It is a distinct piece of mechanism, and is fastened to a steel wire cable extending between the two IocoiiilIP'os across the eround to lie turned over. It is literally a shuttlecock between two steam battledores. It moves at ttic speed of a hundred yards a minute tumim;six furrows a foot euoh in width and eight inches in depth. Its average work, therefore, is twenty acres per day.

How T1IK UU1NKKE Ul> TO UIIU1IUU. ?The congregation iscompimed principally of men and boys, dressed in their every day clothes. Some of them stare about them, or talk with each other. Instead of sitting down und paying attention to what is said, many stand up and walk about. Perhaps some will come up to the speaker an t try luok over Jo his bo??h\ if ho reads from the Hible; or they will examiruc the foreign stove it it is cold weather nod there is a (ire in it; or they will stand in front of the clock mid watch it for awhile. Others have with them parcels of merchandise, or ? fowl, some vegetables etc., they have bought, or wish to sell; and if it is - , warm weather, very many win strip tue upper patt of their bodies nuked, and lau themselves, so as to be as cool at possible. Oftentimes, unlcs foibidden to 11 stuoko, set' rul engage in smoking little pipes full of tobacco, having first struck u fire by menus of n flint and a piece of steel and some very dry paper. Almost every Chinaman carries about with him hi* pipe and tobacco and materials for striking fire. Sometimes a beggar woman will enter the chapel and bawl out lustily for cash. It i; a very common practice for most of those wlui conic to stay but u short time, uini when one ?>*-8 <nit, till of his mates und friends usually follow. If an idol proc ssion, or a mandarin and his retinue, arc passing ah-tig the streets, or some sudden nr unusual noise is hem), the boys and most of the men rush out to see what is to be seen ; after which some of them uii! perhaps conic back.

PnKTTY Good.?.Many incidents of an amusing character happened during the late war which have never found their way into piint, but which are too gund to be lost. The following, we bcli< ve, has not heretofore met the public eye: Wa-li I'rctty, n notorious bu-ditrackor whilst foraging in Southwest Mi-somi wiih his followers, rude up to a farmhouse whose owner was known to have ample provision;* for man anil beast, but wlio-c | olilics wcic best known to hint elf Pretty unci his ra?*ii being dressed in Federal uniform, were mistaken by the fanner for 'j-iyliawkcf*.* He begun to declare most 110 iiively that he was n 'Union niiin. God never made a better.' Pretty said 'we are hunting your sort; we arc rebel bushwhacker*.' Whori-up on the fanner changed his tacii'-s and declared just as positively that he was a Southern num. 'Look here, old man,' said Prct'y, *yoti don't know wltieli side We belong and yon must take otic side or the other, and stick to it; if yoi hap -? ..l-a i I,a irriinir uiitn Wi>'ll kill you.' This stoppered the man considerably, l?ut niter thinking a uiinntc, lie said : 'Well; I said at the start I was a Union malt, and I'll stick to it it' it is a d?d lie !' lie was left to enjoy his peculiar opitiious without further mole*tutiuii. A week or two apo u young lady of Iowa, while on her way to her wedding, was offered 85 by ' another feller'' it' she would marry him, and consented. The disapoiot >1 lover was not to be wholly cheated out of his nritrii;:;;iiy, and therefore proposed, was nccej ted by, and married the sister of the jiiter on the trutue day. An illiterate negro peaehcr sai 1 to his ccngrcgatioti : ".My brcdrcn, when do lust man, Adam was made, he was made ob wet clay, and set agin do palings to dry." "Do you say," said ono of the con grpgatiori, "dut Adam was made i'b wet clay and set agin dc palings to dry ?" "Yes sar, I do." "Who made do palings ?"
