Walking. IK
The following extracts from a chapter on Cl
Walking, may amuse some of our friends, and rn
at the same time convey a lesson to the rising
geneiatiou. At a time, like the present, when {*''
the side-walks of the town are pretty clear of
| obstructions, in the way of customers to the ai
6tores or visitors to the town, a fair field for exhibition
may be afforded to all who chose to ey
practice the fashionable steps. Here follows a ai
description of them: "(
"The tip toes: so called from the pretty artifice
of mincing on the toes, with a step indicative
of this earth being too impure to receive the "
impress of their feet. It eminently distinguishes
a great swell, a boarding-school mios in her teens, m
or a stiff-starched old maid.
The swingers: a most unpleasant breed to
I walk with arm in arm. Their manner is to ad- 1
| vauce first one shoulder then the other, with two !!'
long arms pendulous and keeping time to the '.
strides of a couple of stiff legs, moving as grace- V
r fully as the extended legs of a mathematician's ('
compasses, or the timber understandings of a ?.
Chelsea pensioner.
The bobbers: one might suppose them desiirous
of aiding digestion by shaking and churning 1
themselves in their rambles. Their heads can c
k be compared only to a fisher's float bobbing up "!
f and down in the water, whence they have doubt- 1
Jh r taken their name. 01
The daudlirs: walk as though they were fr
purely out of conceit with themselves; now all 1
if' on one side, then all on the other; crooked, a'
straight, long steps, short steps, toes sometimes
in, sometimes out. Except on a bad road, on a .
S hot day, in a tight pair of shoes, and with a huu- a|
r- gry belly, this style is quite unpardonable.
The aicippity-hippity-hop step is usually met~| .[
-with among half-bred, Sundav-dre^cd bucks. It "
is a smirking, lippity-'.cppity motion. A mer- C1
k cer's uj-prentice, or a tailor's clerk, in his holiday ^
l ^ear, may not unfrequently be seen cutting this ^
f. - ndicfllour figure.
The alriders require no minute description. It J
is customary with them to race along, in seven
m league boots, so that it is, under all circurastan- ?
> more desirable to ride than to walk with ^
wo, ? u
f the-e gentry, the striders.
The jog tiers are a quick, independent, hey- ^
f day, miscellaneous walkers, despising all rule, all i
order. They may be seen in crowded streets
playing hide and seek belore every passenger
Sthey meet; even in open ways they thread every
street as if it were too narrow, or had too "
many lamp posts; nay, if the welfare of the na- 1 n
tion were at their fiogere ends, they could not j
affect more importance of carriage and motion.1 }'
t is amusing to see two jostlers dancing before
Eich otber at cross purposes, right and left, bcging
pardon each time for the unfortunate injrruption
they occasion each other.
The step accidental is when you have been
alking, say ala wriggle, tip-toe, or hold up,
nd suddenly meet a crony, who tells you, with
shining face, pinched eyes, and an affectionate
wang of speech, how "handsome your gold
bain is," or what "a devilish good orator you
roved yourself at the club last night." On
arting, the step accidental is sure to convey
our person to its destination with a swinging
f the body, nodding the head, humming "lal j
il lal lal," and swaggering with the feet.
The step delicate, one would imagine, belong '
d only to lovers and ladies. It is notso. There
i such a creature in the fashionable world as a '
-1 ' * * i 1
an ay; a tning 01 pertume ana nonsense, wwuu
in step as delicately as a tortoise-shell tabby.
. ball room suit and pumps are the life and
>ul of this very pretty step.
The step pompous is that of a man who has
ritteu a noisy article in a paper or a magazine,
ho has made a public speech, said some silly
ood thing, or struck a hard driven bargain in
usiness. You are led to imagine their bodies
ave acquired actual ponderosity by the transition.
Such a heaving up of each side, such a
arade with the legs, and such action in the
ery placing of a stick or umbrella under the
rm is highly diverting to every peripatetic phi?opher.
The dead march is a very unique species of
alking; the head, body, ana arms are held
eatlily still, the eyes stare straight forward, and
le creature advances his corpse by the actiou of
le legs only.
The flat iron step is produced by a kind of
larching step, laying the foot to the ground, toe
id heel at the self-same time.
A lann/tTQ o fl f I
' odd-fellows, who appear to walk on one side,
st as if they were beside themselves. They
e no cripples, but as they choose to act the
irt of such by using one leg for walking; the '
her for pushing."
Alexander Dumas is writing his Memoirs for <
ie Presse in Paris. A Critic says of him : i
'Having mixed familiarly with all descriptions 1

to his abused consort. "I wish you would

Seed Planter.?We were shown on last Monday,
by the inventor, Mr. Carter, a new machine
for planting seed, especially cotton seed, which
exceeds anything of the kind we have ever seen
or heard of. It drops from 5 to 10 seed in a hill,
at such distances as is desired, and is so constructed
as to open the hill, drop the seed and
cover them at the same time, thus saving seed
and the labor of one horse and 7 hands ; as it
usually takes 2 hands to drop after one plough,
and one to cover. In other words one horse and
one hand with this machine performs the labor
of eight hands and two horses in planting crops.
From what the ingenious inventor told us of its
operation, having planted his entire crop with it
this year, it is destined to come into general use.
It can also be made to drop corn and peas at the
same time with much more accuracy than it can
be done by hand.
The inventor brands applying for a patent,
and therefore a minute description of it might
be improper. Mr. Carter is a native of Lauicns
district, and we wish him every success, ami that
his ingenuity may be rewarded, not only with
fame, hut with something more "material."

Strawberries.
The secret growing Strawberries six months
in the year, continuously, has been discovered
and practiced by Charles F. Peabody of Columbus,
Georgia, one or the editors of the Soil of the
South for several years, not as a theory, mere experiment,
nor accidental production, but as a
science, a study of time successfully carried oui
for profit; for he sends his market wagon into
the city, loaded with this luxury, from March till
September, and last year his vines continued to
ripen fruit until Christmas.
What is the secrptlour fair readers exclaim.?
What new variety? No other than Hovey's
seeding, impregnated by early scarlet and never
manured but kept continually moist by artificial
watering; for which purpose he uses a garden engine.
For four years, Mr. P. cultivated the same
variety in a rich garden mould, manuring liberally
every year, and at any time during summer
' l--.? o Via,i,-t- cu".illin nf orrpon IllVIl

riant vines, which have made very good hay?
but that was not what he wished to grow.?
Failing to get fruit bv garden culture, he commenced
the experiment which for six years has
proved so eminently successful. He cleared oti
a strip of low land along a little rivulet, the soil
of which is coarse sand loose gravel, intermixed
with clay lightly, and of course, covered with
forest mould, digging out the roots of a thick
growth of bushes sufficiently prepared the land.
The vines were then set in rows, six of Hovoy
and one of scarlet, and the surface has never
been disturbed since, by spade or hoe, except so
far as going over the ground once or twice a vear
to cut here and there a decaying vine or branch
if grass or weeds, few of which however, in consequence
of using 110 manure, ever made their appearance,
neither do the plants run to vines,
spreading all over the surface every year .as they
ilid in the garden. The whole strength seems to
be exerted for the production of large rich berries
to such a degree that the ground is red with
fruit?not green with leaves: and this not upon
a little plat but over a fi?*ld of five acres.
And does he never manure them.' is und'/ubt.11..

growing st raw I ?orry vinos. Mr. P. grows roots,
terns and fruit. I repeat ho never manures
never digs the ground nor turns under the old
roots togive place to new ones. In autumn, he gives
a light dressing of the surface soil of the forest,
and covers the ground with leaves; these rema n
until decayed, and serve to keep the berries
clean during the long bearing season. This, and
the watering every hot day when it does not rain
is the great secret of growing strawberries, not
only six months but last year he actually had
them upon his table every month but two?January
and' February. Of course at the North,
the bearing seasons could not be of equal duration,
but it may be greatly extended by the same
course of cultivation.?Scott's Weekly paper.
How to Judge Cattle.?In all domestic animals,
the. skin, or hide forms one of the best
means by which to estimate their fattening properties.
In the handling of oxen, if the hide be
found soft, and silky to the touch, it affords a
proof of tendency to take on flesh. A bea?t
having a perfect touch, will have a thick, loose,
skin, floating as it were, on a layer of soft fat,
yielding to the slightest pressure, and springing
back towards the tingcr like a piece of soft loath
er. Such a skin will be usually covered wmi an
abundance of soft, glossy hair, feeling like a bed
of moss?and hence is ever termed a mossy skin.
But a thick-set, hard, soft hair, always handles
hard, and indicates a hard feeder.

When your horse is first attacked drench with a

This is the most effectual remedy ever tried?
scarcely ever known to fail.
How to Grow Mao.vificient Pe aches.?Mr.
J. C. Thorwell, of Mctuchin, New York, presented
us a basket of the finest and largest Craw
ford Mclacatoon Peaches we iiave seen una year.
Ilis method ot' growing theni is very simple,
and may be easily followed by others. His soil
is gravelly and stony, and for the peach orchard,
he chose the highest part of his farm. Before
setting out the trees, ho plowed deep, say 10 to
12 inches, and top dressed heavily with lime,
then cultivated in the usual manner. He thinks
deep plowing is the secret, and says it would
have been still more beneficial to have subsoiled
his orchard ground. Farmers, please remember
this. Large peaches bring three to four times as
much in this market as small ones. Picked
Morris whites brought as high as ten di/1 ars per
basket, this season. These are preserve J by the
purchaser, who will sell them for 25 cetits each
the coming winter. Peach growers, think ot
this.?The Plow.
Tiik Jews.?The new Chancellor of the Exchequer
DTseaeli,?"the wondrous boy who wrote
Alrory,"?in his recent Life of George Ben tick,
has many interesting statements and speculations
as to the "children of Israel," of whom he is one.
In one place, he remarks that "the allegation
that the dispersion of the Jewish race is a penalty
incurred for the commission of great crime?
the crucifixion of Jesus Chnst?is neither historically
true or dogmatically sound. It is not
historically true, because the Jews were as much
dispersed throughout the world at the advent
of our Lord as they are at the present time,
and had been so for many centuries."
Again he says: The Jews, after all the havoc
and persecution they have experienced, are probably
more numerous at this date than they were
| during the reign of Solomon the Wise; are found
; in all lands, and, unfortunately, prosper in most.
J All which proves that it is in vain for man to
attempt to baffle the inexorable law of nature
which has decreed that a superior race shall
never be destroyed or absorbed by*an inferior.'
Again: 'If the reader throws h s eye over the
Provisional Government of Germany, of Italy,
and even of France.'formed in 1848, he will recognize
every where the Jewish eh mont. Mazni,
who accomplished.the insurrection, and defence
and administration of Venice, is a Je>v, who professes
the whole of the Jewish religion and believes
in Calvary as well as Sinai. He is what
the Lombards call a converted Jew. Frederick
Gentz, Secretary of the Congress of Vienna wa.i
child nf Tsrnel. Several millions of the Jewish
race persist in believingonly a part of their religion.
There is one fact which none4can contest?christians
may continue to persecute Jews, and Jews
may persist in disbelieving Christians, but who
can deny that Jesus of Nazareth, the Incarnate
son of the Most High God, is the eternal glory of
the Jewish race?
'The European nations are indebted to the
Jews for much that regulates, much that charms,
and much that solaces existence. The toiling
multitude rests every seventh day by virtue of a
Jewish law; they are perpetually reading for their
example, the record of Jewish history; and singing
the odes and elegies of Jewish poets; and
they daily acknowledge on their knees, with reverend
gratitude, that the medium of communication
between the Creator and themselves is the
Jewish race. Yet they habitually treat that
race as the very vilest of generations, and, instead
of logically looking upon them as the human
family that has contributed most to human
happines, they extend to them every term of
obloquy and every form of persecution.'
The Jesuits.?The Genoa correspondent of
the New York Times says that a great dissension
and rebellion has recently sprnncr up amonar the
Jesuits at Rome and Naples, not respecting any
new religious principles, but in relation to a reform
in the fashion of their hats, called by the
1 VAIinrrDV HlOtnltiiN nftllP
luiimua uty/tit-vHt. xu? jvuu^vi v. ?..v
order have decided to wear three-cornered hats
as better adapted to the progress of the age.
The elder fathers, condemning this innovation,
as against the rubs of the order, have protest'd,
and go in favor of the large hats.
Father Koothnn, the General, has published
an article in Naples, ordering all the members of
the Company of Je?us, young, middle-aged and
old, to adopt three-cornered hats, threatening
the rebellious with ecclesiastical terrors, and expulsion
from the mystical and political order of
Loyola. The Italians predict a probable schism
among the Italian Jesuits. One party will be
called " Protestant," and the other ' Reformed
and Three-Cornered," Jesuits.
The Old man and his Grand Child.?There
was once a very old man, whose eyes had become
dim, his ears deaf, and whose knees trembled
under him. When he sat at the dinner table,
he could scarcely hold his spoon, so that somel,;c
?Mih nn elnth?His son
lIIMCa llCi,]/IIb U IO OW 14 ^ V?* V?V VIV?...
and daughter wore much displeased at this, and
at last they made their old father sit in a corner
behind the stove, and gave him his food in a little
earthen dish.
He never got as much as he could cat, and he
would often look towards the table with wet,
longing eyes.
One day his shaking hand let his little dish
fall, and it was broken. The woman scolded but
he said nothing; lie only sighed. Then they
bought a wooden trough for him.
Once as he was sitting thus in the corner, his
little grand child, about four years old, was playing
on the floor near him with some pieces of
wood.
What are you making?' asked the father,smiling.
' I am making a little trough,' answered the
child, ' for father and mother to eat from when
they are old and I am grown big!'
The man and his wife looked at eaeli other in
silence, and their tears flowed fist They brought
their old father back to the table, gave him as
much food tus lie wished, and they never again
spoke an angry word when his trembling hand
spilt soup on the cloth.
Population of Turkey.?The New York
Times contains, in a letter from Const an tinoplcj
extracts from a semi-official Journal, which gijJ
some interesting stat istics of the Turkish
tol and Empire. The population of Constant
ople, including the suburbs, is stated at 975,00(F
Less than one-half of these are Mussulmen. The
whole number of slaves is 47,000, of which 42,000,
are females. The greater part of the fei
i i ?j ?e.?? i.rt??..
males are macs, auu primim mc \Ji 11 uu.to
servants. The total population ot' the Ottoman
Empire is stated to be nearly 40,000,000.
"I've lost flesh lately!" as the butcher said,
when he sold a quarter of beef to a bad customer.
The American Expedition to Japan.?The
American expedition to Japan is viewed with extraordinary
favor by all the Journals, both English
and French, that have commented upon
the subject at ajl. The Paris Constitutionel
says:
"The success of the expedition cannot be
doubted for an instant, especially if it is conducted,
as every thing leads us to expect, with a
mixture of moderation and firmness. According
to the manner in which the commodore shall
act, he may merit the gratitude of all christendem.
In all probability, tbs Japanese will not
be of long duration. Wo bid the Americans
God speed, and shall hear with real pleasure of
the success of their mission, because we are sure
tnat it will be accomplished without great or unnecessary
bloodshed."
Why LorrCt you Cry, you Fool ??The trial
at the Salisbury Assizes, lately of an unlucky
i wight, who had been helping himself to his neighj
bor's goods gave rise to a piece of ingenuity on
! the part of a well known lawyer, which to us,
who chanced to witness it, was 3omewhat amusing.
The prisoner had been defended by counsel,
all that could be said on his behalf had been
said, but the case against him was too palpable
to admit a shadow of doubt, and a verdict of
guilty was pronounced. The judge seemed to
look upon the culprit, who was a rongh looking
fellow, destitute alike of friends and character,
with some degree of pity, and previous to passing
the sentence of law upon him, commenced
giving him a few words of advice. The benevolence
of his lordship's tone was not thrown away
upon the lawyer, who seemed to feel that as
long as there was a chance of helping his client
he was bound to do his utmoit; unobserved, therefore,
he at once whipt behind the dock, and putting
his hands to the sides of his mouth, whispered
to the prisoner as loud as prudence would permit?uWhy
don't you cry you fool! Be quick?
you'll save a month at least!" The culprit, who
before this, was standing as unmoved as a statue,
immediately took the hint, rubbed his eyes with
his knuckles, and for a moment seemed overcome
"jy a sense of the degraded situationJn which he
stood, The dodge answered. "I trust (said his
lordship) that the sense of shame which you
now feel will prevent you from appealing again
in such a situation in a court of justice, and in
that hope I am induced to pass upon you a much
lighter sentence than I should otherwise do,
which is, that vou be imprisoned in the House
of Correction, in this county, for the space of
one month." The fellow, we were afterwards
informed, is a most hardened rascal*? Deivtt
(Eng) Gazette.
A Dutchman had occasion to reprimand, what
he considered a very refractory son, who after
receiving it, took his seat with such, indications ???
or countenance as to induce the conviction that
although he "acquiesced" in he was not pleased
with the operation. The old gentleman observing
to distorted condition of his facial ran clis
and thinking he heard a muttering, turned to the
truant with:
'Vot dat you say?'
"Me say nothing," was the reply.
'Vel den vot you tink?4
'Me tink nothing, was the answer.
'Dat be von lie sir: you tink damn it 'an me
vip j'ou for dat.'
Suiting the action to the word poor Hans was
made the unwilling recipient of a second very
unmerciful onslaught.
Time to Stop.?Speaking of courting reminds
us of a little incident that occurred in our good
city " once upon a time." A close-fisted old codger
had a likely daughter," whose opening
charms attracted the attention of a certain nice
viMinrr man Aftnr some little manoeuvrinir. he
ventured to open a courtship. Ou the firstmght
of his appearance in the parlor, the old man after
dozing in his chair until 9 o'clock, arose and
putting a log of wood on the fire, said, as he left
the room, w There, Nancy, when that log burnt
out you must stop f"

Eastern city was relating with "great^gutto"

The people were greatly surprised, and rather
inclined to skepticism when he spoke of a brick
building being actually moved without injury

suspiciously, replied?"Ft is so? for I came by the
next day; and they were moving the cellar !
