' With a iincle exception, 1 lonnd no traveling acquaintances aboard the boat, although I had been two days apon my journey, which was becoming njuite mo notonous. Tbe individual with whom I, . . ... i singularly enoun, iratemueo, seemea, like myself, to Dave unto inclination io extend his acqnatotaaoo among Ska- paw- engors, though he continually seemed to be on the look out lor some one, ana from the operations of two or three Indi viduals, whose ciofuse display of rest chains and jcwolry, and profioiency at cards at the card table in tho saloon, be trayed their profession, I more than onoe set him down as a police deteotiv in dis- (rllidfl. lie called nimsoii ucorge xuorn, ui . . . i . -, mt - f Kentucky ; so bis eard nad, whiob be gave me io exchange for mine. In truth he was a noble specimen of that State. Full six feet in height; a cloar, intelli gent blue eye, broad iorehead, and light curly hair, muscular arm, and the chest of a Hercules, he challenged tho admiia- tistn of more than one of the passengers, as with bis serious and never smiling face he naced the Dromenade deck or sat ap parently buried in thought in the saloon. . , a- 1 T . "Do you ever ptay oarus i aaia x iu him, as he left a group that wero stand ing about a table of four players, and no ting the progress of the game.

I thanked him for bis friendly warn, ing, at the same time expressed my as toniahment at his affirmation. To con vince me of it, he called the steward of the boat, and ordered him to bring a lresb pack of oaids, whioh were brought, and he handed the paok to me, bidding me to shuffle thorn. I did so when be imme. diatelv aelcoted every ace and king from the pack, witnout looting at ma taoe oi them. IScxt, ne acau mem in iwo par cels, when, upon examination, I fonnd that all the cards oi real value in me gamo were in his band although I . could not dctcot the least unfairness as be dealt them. ''You see," said be, smiling at my look of astonishment, "tne advantage an ex pert in these matters bas over even i ltillfnl nlaver." "I do, indeed," I replied, astonished at my fellow traveler's dexterity, and be ginning to tbink that be might be a re formed gambler, or one .'-playing the 'possosa" for some purpose or other ; bnt is he did not ore or even invite me to play, nor bad played with any one else, and threw the cards aside with an expres sion of disgust too natural to be assumed, 1 oame to the conclusion that my travel ing acquaintainoi was a riddle yet to be solved.

'The Faro Babk, rwith Its crowd of betters the Rouee et Noir ta ble, with its anxious eircle, and groups of players at other games, of which I was ig norant of the name, were all busily en gaged as we entered. We had passed through two apartments and ' reached a third, in whioh were but four players, playing in pairs at different tables. As we entered wo sat down at an unoccupied table for a moment, when, as we did so, we heard ono of the two men nearest ns say to his opponent : . "That's the last dollar ; luek is yours, and I'm oleaned out." ; "But you wear a good ring," said his opponent "See 1 I will give you a obanoe for revenge. I'll back my ring agiinst yours on tbe next game. It's a ring I won at play from a Kcntuoky boy, who came to New Orleans to see the "sights," said he carlessly. flow Utile did ke know ikise words so lightly spoken had sealed bis doom I 'No," said his opponont, rising ; "I'll meet you to-morrow night. I won't pledge my jewelry yet." As the player, who was sittting with his back partially towards ns, mentioned Kentucky in . his conversation, I saw Thorn listen with eagerness, and as he twisted the ring be ottered to Pet upon his finger, I saw the Kentnckian, turn deadly pale, flis eyes glowed like fire for an instant; then bis oountenanoe as sumed its usual calm and plaoid look, and, to our amazement, he rose and walked across the apartment to the play er, who bad just been leit by bis com- nanio. and corteousiv pronosea to try a band with bim, if agreeable, and it we, hit friends, would , excuse mm lor a kt'4M' Xxf aanMaw assented so did the rambler, who appeared at first inmewhat surprised at the propositioa but probably resolved to try rns summon the new comer. : ' The cards were dealt and tbe game nrncceded..

Dr. Yoelker. the celebrated agricultu ral chemist of England, in a recent lect ure on tbe subject ot manures, rnaoe tne following remarks : ' He need not speak of the superior val ue of the liquid over tbo solid cxcrcmcn litious wallers of dung, for that was well known to intelligent farmers : but tbero was a chemical point to which 'he must be nermitted to direct attention as it wot this : the liquid portion of rotten dung ban aaeai uv sow of diaaolviog the more fertilising matters of the solid excre ments of animals, 'ibey knew, tor in stance, that phosphate of lime tho. ma terial on whioh principally the value of bone dust depended was insoluble in pure water, but he found it to be soluble iu s grear extent in iiquiu uauuio. as the liquid in rotten Jung dissolved a large portion of the more valuable constituents of tbe solid exorcmenis, mey wouio now see an additional reason for preserving their liquid manure, for in to doing they . . 1 . . . . . .l. i : . would nol only roiuin tne lerunsiug uiat tors in urine, but they would also pre vent the waste of the most valuable con stituents of the solid cxercments. He here dwelt on that chemical point, beoauso it had come under his notice especially, in consequence of an examination of the liquid portion of tbe dung, sent to him by Mr. Uampbell ot xtusoou rars. in mat liauid be found a very larg proportion of phosphato of lime which was otherwise insoluble." , BreedlnK Farm Slock.

That such mcdihed lorms can be handed down to the progeny ; but being departures from the primitive or natural type, tbe form can only be at tained by assjdious attention on the part of the breeder., 3. That not only be cause the dualities of tbe male can be immediately brougal to pear upon larger numbers, but also because oi uia ewu special endowment!, it it the best lo seek for improvement of form and quality through him, ', 4.' That qualities of tbe form, and also of the character, become hereditary in proportion to the frequency of their repetition in past generations, but that it is dangerous to herd from any animal with . impotent defects, however high hn pedigree, 5. lbat neaiin ful. well formed animals, without heredi tary taint, even if olosely related, may be safely permitted to propagate their kind, nravidod the nraetioe be not continued Lhroueh tnaov " eenerations. 6.a That vonnir animals for their first impregna tion, should be placed to the bes oi their own kind, in ordor io avoid tbe re ap- pearanoe oi stain in any lu.ure fuvgouj. 7.
