The following extract cannot but be interesting to the botanist and the chem ist, as well as to every lady who has a rose-bush in her garden, or a flower-pot in her parlor. It is from the Paris "Horticultural Review" of July last, translated by Judge Meigs of Now York, for the Farmers' Club of the American Institute. The experiments diseribed were made by Robert Bera uds, who says: "About a year ago I made a -bar gain for a rose-bush, of magnificent growth and full of buds. I waited for them to blow, and expected roses worthy of such a noble plant, and of the prais es bestowed upon it by the vender. At length, when it bloomed, all my hopes were blasted. The flowers were of a faded color, and I discovered that I had only a middling 'inultiflora, stale colered enough. I therefore resolved to sacrifice it to some experiments which I had in view. My attention had been captivated with the effects of charcoal as stated in some English publications I then covered the earth in the pot, in which my rose-bush was, about half an inch deep with pulverized charcoal! Some days after I was astonished to see the roses, which bloomed, of as fine lively rose color as I could wish! I determined to repeat the experiment; and therefore, when the rosebush had done flowering, I took off all the char coal and put fresh earth about the roots. You may conceive that I waited for the next spring impatiently, to see the result of this experiment. When it bloomed the roses were, as at first, pale and discolored; but, by applying the charcoail as before, the roses soon re sumed their rosy red color. I tried the powdered charcoal likewise in large quantities upon my petunias, and found that both the white and the violet flow ers were equally sensible to its action. It always gave great vigor to the rod or violet colors of the flowers, and the white petunias became veined with red or violet tints; the violets became cov ered with irregular spots of a bluish or almost black tint. Many persons who admired them thought that they were now varieties from the seed. .Yellow flowers are (as I have p roved) insen sible to the influence of the charcoal." "I'll betide the yellow flowers;" it seems they are equally incapable of change, under the influence of charcoal, or of the man without poetry in his tem perament. Wordsworth tells us: "A primrose by the river'. brim A YELLOW rixaosm was to haim, And it was nothing more."

ASTRONOMIcAL DIScoVERIES BY LoRD RossE's TELESCOPE.-At a meeting of the Royal Irish Academy, in Dublin, on the 30th of January, Dr. Robinson announced some astro nomical facts in astronomy, which the gi gantic telescope of Lord Rosse has re cently brought to light. These relate to a remarkable planetarys nebula, Herschel' figure 45. This looks like an oval disc, reminding one of the plan et Jupiter, but it appears now to be a combination of two distinct bodies. In both these the centre consists of a clus ter of tolerably large stars; in the first, surrounded, by a vast globe of much smaller ones; in the other, by a flat disc of very small stars, which when Peen edgeways, had the appearance of a ra. This nebula, recently observed through Lord Rosse's telescope, has the cen tral cluster, the narrow ray and the surrounding globe. A remarkable proof of the de6fining power of this vast instrument exists in the fact that Dr. Robinson saw with it the companion of the well known Gamma Andromdso, or two blue stars, which ho had never before seen. It was discovered by the celebrated Struve, with the great Pul kova refractor, and is a very severe test. The ring of Saturn, by the help of Rosse's telescopo, shows irregulari ties, which are most probably mnoun tains, on its eastern side. It is re markable that this character of Sa turn's ring was anticipated by La Place, though no telescope existing in his day wvas sufficiently powerful to make the discovery. HISTORY OF THE FAMOUS EXPRESS ION--" General Taylor Never Surren der."--On the 17th of Novemb~er, Ney, last of tho invading army, left, Smolensk at the head of 7 or 8000 men. * They had not pro ceeded much more beyond this fatal spot when they approached the banks of the Losmnina, where all had been pre pared at leisure by the Russians for their reception. Miloradowitch lay there at the head of a great force; and a thick mist, which covered the ground, '.ccasioned Ney's column to advance under the Russian batteries before be lng aware of the danger. A Russian officer appeared and invited N.ey to capitulate. "A marahal of France never surrenders," answered that in trepid general.-Scout'a Napoleon. A man that outlives his reputation soon becomes miserable. CON'STITUT1 6ko1? IWi.TT each State shall be entitledio al es andimmunitiesof citizensitithqae4.e ratl States. 2.
