Wooi.. 1 he history of the growth of
tool is very curious. Fifty years ago not
a pound of line wool was rtiisud iu the Uni
ted States, in Great liritain, or in any oth
er country except Spain. Iu tho hitter
country, the flocks were owned exclusively
by the nobility or by the crown. In 1 094
1 email flock was sent to tho Elector of
Saxony, as a present from the King of
Spain, whence the entire product of Sax
ony wool, now of such immense value. Iu
ISO!), during tho invasion or Spain by the
French, some of the valuable crown flocks
were sold to raise money. Tlto American
Consul nt Lisbon, Mr. Jorvis, purchased
fourteen hundred head, and sent them to
this country. A portion of the pure, un
mixed Merino blood of these flocks is to
he found in Vermont nt this time. Such
f s the origin of tho immenso flocks of
fine woo' sl,eeP in the United States.

Interesting to Ladies. A fact of much
mtereit to young ladies of fashion and old
dies ef juvenile ideas, has just been
brought to light in Paris. This is nothing
less than the discovery that the " pearl
powder" used for whitening the skin, is a
W poison. The carbonate of lead used
its composition, works gradually into the
Jem, producing at last fatal results.
The Washington correspondent of
the X. Y. Courier & Enquirer says that
Mr. Buchanan and one or more members
f his Cabinet, on many accounts, prefer
th" election of some Republican, to that of
Democrat, inasmuch as the Republicans

out-houses should be at a convenient dis

will add much to the comforts of the res
idents. The yard in front of the bouse can be
made iiieful and ornamental. Latterly va
rieties of shrubbery huve come into use not
known years ago, while some of the old
varieties will always be beautiful. Owing
to the favorable character of our climate,
many kinds of shrubbery, tender in the
States, can be successfully grown here.
The Rose is " the rpiecu of flowers."
Here we can have them iu ull their glory.
Not only will the Ilemoiitntits, or " Hardy
Perpctuuls," succeed hero, but muny of the
Bourbons, Chinese and Noisette Roses.
These latter three varieties blossom from
early spring till frost checks them. The
Hardy Perpctuuls blossom somo three
times during the season in June, August,
and October. These latter nro the most
beautiful, but they do not produce such a
shower of roses us tho former. If I were
to recommend varieties of the Hardy Per
petual, 1 would name four Lu Reino,
Madnmo Lnff iy, Duchess of Sutherland,
and Prince Albert; of Noisettes, Ophirie,
Cliumpney, Blanche, and Fellembcrg; of
the Chinesn, Agrippinn, Blush Daily, White
Daily, nnd Louis Phillipc; of tho Bour
bons, llerruosn, Bouquet de Flore, Wultcr
Scott, and Dr. Marx. The Tea Roses ore
too lender for out-door culture. It is hard
ly worth while to git standard June roses
when these cun be found. There are a few
running roses winch are desirable. The
American Hybrids (Rosa, Rubifohu) are
gorgeous, but gem rally without fragrance.
The best of these are the Queen of the
Prairies, Henry Clny, and Baltimore Belle.
Where the grounds are inclined to be
wet, they should be raised in beds for roses
not so much so but thut their roots will
go into damp soil. Roses which blossom
often, arc gross feeders, und the grounds
can scarcely be too rich.
Of other shrubbery, I would suggest the
Persian Lilaeh, tho Snow-Bull, Swcet
scentid Shrub, Deutzia Seubra, mid Graci
lis, Wiegliti Rosea and sevcrulof the new
Spirucs Rccvesii, Douglass!, Prunifolia.
These are all beautiful and grow from
three to live feet high. If their leading
built are pinched off in summer they
will make compact and handsome plants.
There arc some beautiful varieties of
climbing Honeysuckles which will grow
well here. I would name tho Belgian
Monthly as best, nnd next the Chinese sub
evergreen. The lust blossoms three times
during the season, and both nro highly fra
grant. The coral honeysuckle is beautiful,
and also a ye'low variety, but they are
without fragrance. These can be trained
all about a house or over tho door,

Poultry. Ed. Argus: Housewives, in
the country, sometimes have much trouble
with bees to prevent them from wasting
their time insetting. The hens, bereaved
of their eggs, seem to be inconsofchle, and
will occupy their nests even without eggs.
To check their sorrows, and induce them
to resume laying, shut the setting hen up
in a pleasant coop with a young rooster.
The hen will soon forget her sorrows, when
you can let her out, and she will go on her
way cackling and laying as usuul.
It happens, sometimes, that nil the hens
are out of tho way, and an ancestral roos
ter is seen moving about sad and slow,
with nnry chuckle and nary crow. Pro
cure a young, handsome pallet, and shut up
the two together, and the rooster will soon
"become is brisk as a flea," and a. happy:

From the minimi circular of Dunn, Boyd
k Co., mercantile agents, New York, it
appear that the number of failures in the
United Stutcs, the past yenr, was 3913, in
volving liubilities of $1)4,294,000. This is
adectense in the number of failures since
18o3 of 312, and in liubilities of $31,455,-
GG2. Of the failures lust year 123, with!
liabilities of Sl.7ii9.O0O. occurred in Bos-
ton, and 1C9, wi ebts to the extent of
11.027.000. in the rest of Massachusetts:
CI, with liub.lities of J 1,159,000 occurred
in Maine; 25, with liubilities of $307,000,
iu New Hampshire; 30, with liubilities of
57,000, iu Yermout; 10, with liabilities
$240,000, in Providence; and 10, with
dibts amounting to $359,000, in tho rcstj
of Rhode Island. The number in New'
York city was 299, with liabilities of $13,
218,000,
Of the whole number of failures'
lust year, 401 are classed as swindling and
and absconded debtors, with ohliirtitioiis
amountmg to $5,650,000; as not dishonest,
but will oavl.ttlo or iiothi.itr. 075. with 1
debts to the extent of $7,933,000. The'
number l kely to pity in full is 130, whose
indebtedness amounts to $0,242,000.
The number of failures in Canada and
tho British Provinces was three hundred
and fifty, with debts of tho amouut of $4,
073,000. Tho business of the year, the circular re
marks, exhibits a general improvement, al
though not much money has been made.
A healthy and moderate business has been
realized, and the prospect is that an equally
and improved state of affairs will continue.
The effects of the disasters of 1857 still re
main, especially at tho West, and no great
enlargement of business tho coming year is
to be looked for. Such a crisis cannot be
recovered from under four or five years.
The aggregate of the past three years
shows a bankrupt debt in the Uuited
States and British North America of the
enormous sum of $408,355,571, of which
amount $202,907,508 will prove an abso
lute loss to the creditors. This is irrespec
tive of the immense losses by railroad and
other public corporate companies. In
1857 the failures in the city of New York
were about eighteen and a half per cent, ot
tho entire number, thus proving that tho
effects of the crisis were immediately felt in
the cities ot the Union, for tho per ccntage
of twenty-one cities shows about the same
nti.
The failures of the past two years
have been mostly confined to the country.
The number sppeurs large, but the amount
involved is comparatively small.

The London Athotucnm publishes a geni
al notice of Washington Irving, in which
tho editor thus speaks of 1 mug's literary
popularity iu Kriylniul:
" When a distingu'shed writer dies, the
entiro civilized world is bereft of a friend;
but in most cases the loss especially belongs
to thn country which gave him birth, the
literature of which ho hits enriched. But
Washington Irving's achievements have, iu
a certain sense, made him one of our own
countrymen, und Eugluud, scarcely less
than Am-.-rica, ha.i reason to mourn for
linn. Mora limn any other of t'.e many
distinguished scholar who have raised
American literatui'C to its present high po-
, t;onmoI.e tlni.it Cooper, Bancroft, Pres.
cott( ij0!IJ,r(.ow, or any ol
any of tl e other trans
atlantic writers, Washington Irving has be
come a household (r end among m. Hit
works are to be found in every English
homo where literature of any kind is es
teemed; and so completely have we adopt
ed lit in as a compitriot, thai we believe
muny studious inhabitants of our country
houses wln-ro living nuihors nro known by
their works and not by meagre sketches in

like a surprise at remembering t'"'1 'bo au

According to tho lowest enlituati', tho city

Harr s, our Minister, thinks is no exagger

extract below is from a letter of Mr. Mauld
iu to his employers, Messrs. Green, Heath
Si Allen:
" Burchnrd it Co., whom wo fitted out
lust Full, are doing remarkably well at the
Siiirlkauv'cn mines. They havo struck a
leuil in tho bank abovo high-water mark,
where they find tho gold coarse and plenty.
Adiitn Beau has not done much ut present;
in fift the wculher has bein so cold thut
they could not expect to do much."
A nother letter from a Colvillo merchant
to his brother at tho Dulles, dated lwb. 5,
says:
"There has not been wry much dono on
thn S'Uiilkuineen this winter; two miner
arrived from thero yesterday, and reported
llio river had been prospected for ninety
miles up, and turned out good nt every
point tried, so I think thero will bo big
mining d"iie tl'ere this yenr. The weather
is mod.. ;i Jug; there is ubout Lm inches T
snow in the valley now, ami wo expect it
will be elf by the 23d of this mouth.
" We understand from n Frenchman,
who arrived here lu.it .Monday from t'ol
ville; that good diggings have been found
on the Novoiipitcutn, a strenni entrb'g tlio
Columbia opposite Fort Colville. Wu pro
sumo il is the stream put down on Amler
fin's map as ' D.us.-'s Fork.' The French
man i.bnvo mentioned, is about settling on
on Okanagan L:.ki, and is t.iking up with
him furmiti.j implements, seeds, etc."
Tuitii.Liso IscniKxr. Inn lecturo re
cently delivered by "Graeo (irttenwood,"
ot Boston, on " jleroism," she referred to
an incident thut took place t the burning
of a stevmur en one of the West'. hi lakes:
"Among the few passengers whoso eour
ago and presence of mind rose tiiipcrior to
the per Is and ! o-rors of the nilit was a
mother, who succeed' '! ia saving her two
chihlp-ii by menus of a floating settee.
While they they were in the water tho
mot her saw a man swimming towards the
suttee, and as he was about to grasp it,
she cried out: "Don't take it from my
poor children!" The man made no answer,
yet the appeal struck home, for by llie
light of the flaming vessel she could see
that his face was convulsed by the t rupryle
between the mighty primal instinct of na
ture and something better and holier. It
wus but u moment. Ho threw his hands
up with a groan of renunciation, flung
himself over backward and went down.
