Tim HiciiKu Aim in Fakmixo;? The higher aim of every intelligent tiller of the soil should ho tho im provement of the productiveness of his land, until it reaches the point where maximum crops ure produced at the least expense. Wise husbandry regards the farm si in pi}' as a machine for turning out crops. The machine is the matter of firat importance This is always to be kept in good running order, anil ils efficiency is to be in creased by all economical methods The man who farms upon this system, will never sacrifice soil .or a great crop. He aims in every working of the soil to increase its depth and 10 add to it more elements of fertility than be removes in the crops, and lo make the crops not only pay for (he improvement of themselves, bin to pay for llic improvement of the acres upon which they are grown. In car rying out this aim so us to realize these results, a man shows his skill as a cultivator. It is a comparatively easy thing, for any one who has money, to impovc the soil so that it shall pro due*) crops paying for the lubor of growing them anil the. interest on $'200 or ?.')()() an acre. Stahle manure, enough, well ploughed in, will do this But it is altogether another mailer to make this improvement pay for itself. Yet it is a possible thing lo do this, i and there are farmers skillful enough to accomplish this result, and this wc bold lo be the true aim in the cultiva tion of the soil. The most judicious improvements arc those which finally pay the largest profits, roquiriii? several years to bring in their full re turns. It is a matter of great impor tance that our funning population should not only be settled, and plan all their operations upon tbo farm as if th'jy expected to spend their days upon it.?Hcrahl. So jSTt:.\rt and Ykt So Fail?Not many months ago, in India, a gentle man and wife having taken passage for England went on board with their baggage. Presently the husband dis covered that there was time for him to go tuhnrc and see n man. lie went, ami when it occurred to him that it was time to go on board again, he hnilo I ii boatman and ere long found himself on board a large passenger ?hip. Jt was night. A sleepy steward inquired the number of his cabin, which be chanced to remember, as also that his was the upper berth; so be contrived to clamber into it with out disturbing his w ife, as be suppos ed, who slept beneath. ]Jut whet: dawn broke, ami the ship was well on her way, n feminine voice was heard shrieking, in a tcne of tenor: "Stew ard, steward! there's a mini in my cabin !" i he wretched man was aroused, and the Situation explained to hi m. Ho had mistaken the ship. They were under way lor Australia, ami bis unhappy wile was steaming away to England under a linn convic tion 'bun be had been robbed and murdered by ridliuns who frequent the quays. When bo at length ar rived in Australia, he could not even there relieve her mind, as the cable connecting that country with Europe was not completed, so that about four months passed before she heard any thing of him. A Soi.ICMN Kktueat.?Thel'assion ist Fathers, who occupy* St. Michael's monastery in llobokcn, N. ,!., opened ii religious retreat for the benefit of Uoinan Catholic men, who are desir ous of wholly secluding th' inselves from worldly nlthir.s for Ihe term ol eight days. A 11 applicants for ad in is sion into th 3 iuon:.slci y for the term and purpose above referred to were freely admitted; but the priests ex pect :it least live dollars Irom each 'penitent to defray expenses. Many give ten and fifteen dollars, ami in some instilnecs much larger amounts are contributed by wealthy penitents at tlie elose of the retreat. Each penitent has a separate apart ment, containing a bed, a washing stand, a bureau, n table, and pious bo< ks and pictures. The board given to the penitential guests is much more sumptuous und select than that which thepricsls allow themselves. Exercise is afforded the temporary recluses on the spaci ats corridors, or, weather permit ling, in the line garden at the rear of the monastery. Many prominent ami wealthy gentlemen of New York, Brooklyn and Jersey, City have subjected them selves to the religious ordeal I)Holly ilesctiived in this report. The cere monies and nature of the religious re treat arc as solemn and interesting as they are peculiar. Mr. Huston's rise into political import mice has been so rapid that comparatively few tire acquainted with his past, history. Very many arc unaware wf the fact that, ?iorh and brought up in a slave-holding state, he was from the fust an un swerving supporter of tin; union, a brave soldier'in the union army, and one of the earliest, of those who re cognized the grand fact that slavery was tli3 great disturbing element in the country, and that, its destruction wsis both n moral duty and a political necessity; It was owing to him sind a few men like him that Kentucky did not secede in 18(51, ami that the seat of war in the west was on the southern instead til'the northern side of llie Ohio. A district attorney in Kentucky, he wits afterwards very earnest in his dibi ts to protect the colored people in their newly acquir ed rights, and was always a strong advocate of the adoption and enforce ment of those amendments to the constitution which have been enacted for their protection. His cony'itcni loyalty -under circumstances the most trying, his firm anti-slavery opinion and warm friendship lor the colored race, his strong cflorts in be half of an honest currency and politi cal reform, and his opinions on the subject of national reconciliation, make him one of the strongest of the gradually lessening number of accept able candidates for 'he presidency. A PnAcriCAL Uhk ok Docs.?It is a fact perhaps not generally known that there is a linn doing business in ?*an Francisco who purchase the thou sands of do;-8 slaughtered by the po.uul master ofthat city, or that may have been otherwise killed, for which they pay forty cents each. The carcasses are conveyed to th ir manufactory at South San Francisco, where the skins aro removed and sohl lo the tanneries, the bait taken off ami resold to p! aster crs, the bide tanned, inside into gloves - a d sold in the market; The denuded carcass is then thrown into a huge cahlron and boiled until life bones are easily separated from the flesh, when they are removed and .-old to the sugar refineries, where they are ground lost line pbsvdoi and used*to ciarify sugar. The oil that rises to tli e surface of the boiling mass is skimmed off stud manufactured into coil liver oil, ami the remainder is used for the purpose of fattening lings; Booth and roan.?The Charlotte ' user vier says: Something of Mr. Booth's contract with Air. Ford, obtained' from the latter, will inter est our readers. Mr. Booth is paid $000 per night. His contract is for fifty nights; and for this period be receives 830,000. When Mr. Ford went tojiinjto make the contract, he proposed, tcv-nvc him what he (Booth) thought ho coukl make in New l tirkl Mi*. Booth told him that be could make $000 per night there; Mi-. Ford offered him that much, and a bargain was made. Every night's perform ance costs the manager of this comp any ?1,000. One of the terms of the contract is, thai Mr. Booth is never to travel at night, smd never to leave n stopping place before. 1 1 o'clock in the day, unless he chooses to do so. Notwithstanding bis heavy expenses, Mr. Ford calculates upon making $.'>,00? to ?4 000 clear money during his .Southern tour. Tlii? Gold Yn:i.i>.?The mines in the States am! Territories west of the Missouri river, including British Columbia and the west coast of Mcxi eo, show si yield ol 880,880,037 durin the present year, being an excess of nearly 86,500,000 over that of last year. Nevada, Colorado, Mexico, Oregon, British Columbia, Monitum, and Arizona increased. California, Idsibo, Flab and Washington de creased. '1 he decrease in California was due to want of water. The in crease in Colorado ami Nev.nl i was verv notable. The latter yields more t han one-half of the whole. Tbe pre sent prospect of the yield next year indicates that it will reach 800,000, 000, of which Nevada will contribute 850,000,000. AVclls, largo & Co. carried over 823,500,000 of gold dust bullion and over 811.000,000 of silver bullion. The other S10,000,OPO was in ores sind base bullion. An interesting editorial article in the London Times gives dctaiis re specting the manner in which the superior energy stud resources ol America have, within the past ton years, wrought si revolution in the gram supph id' I'u rope, and the em barrassmcnt and alarm which prevail in Russia in consequence of the fact that her corn producing regions have been distanced in the great competi tive race with the United States. The 'J%ics shows that, whereas nine years ago forty-four per cent, of the grain exported to England came from Russia and only fourteen per cent, from America, now forty-four per cent, coincs from America and but twenty-one per cent, from Russia. To this stale of things is partly attributed the great monetary crisis nt. Moscow, the continuous depreciation of the paper currency, and the excessive distress in southern Russia: COL, ASBURY .COWARD Afl?lcorps oT auIoProfoBScrrs.
