AMERICAN TELEGRAPH
AGRICULTURE ANI> MECHANISM.
Below is No. XX. of the popular series of
essays on Agricultural Geology, by Mr. Hol
brook. The subject of this number is purlieu-,
larly appropriate at this season of tlie year, tho
opening of spring; especially so, both to schools
and families at the "heart of the nation."
" Cabinrts or Natch* and Art" is the subject
of this number. Most of the schools, and vory
many of tho families, in Washington have
made n beginning in collecting specimens for
thoir use. Some such collections are large and
valuable. As nearly the whole country is rep
resented by tho residents of Washington, they
can readily procure from their friends abroad
a rich variety of specimens to increase their
collections.
Great additional interest can bo given to
minerals by models of crystals made of paste
board, by young hands, giving, at the same
time, great skill in mechanism. In the public
school in the charge of Mrs. Ilinton, we have
witnessed a great variety of such models, made
by her pupils, affording to them the richest
possible amusement, with the most substantial
knowledge. Something of the kind evidently
ought to be, and most certainly will be, intro
duced into all schools through the country.
Drawing is a species of mechanism, nnd
highly important for fanners?for mechanics I
indispensable; as the work in many shops is
done entirely from drawings, no models being
used. At the Agricultural Fairs, to be held
next autumn, drawings of animals, plants, and
implements used by farmers, will doubtless bo
furnished in large numbers and rich varieties,
produced by young hands, both in schools and
families, for that specific object. Agricultural
societies and school superintendents and trus
tees have jointly recommended the measure. It
cannot fail of being popular, in the lufgest
sense of the word.
AGRICULTURAL GEOLOGY?No. XX.
BT JOSIAH HOLBROOK.
Schools gave the first impetus to geological
surveys. The impetus thus given has led to
legislative action for such surveys in almost
every State in the Union. By such action the
treasures of wealth and of science hare been in-1
creased to nn unbounded extent. Thousands
upon thousands of scientific collections have
been made ; hosts of scientific men have been '
raised up, new scattered over our whole coun
try, and hidden treasures of wealth brought to
view for the special benefit of farmers, and, di
rectly or indirectly, of every American citiffen.
The unparalleled progress made from such
humble beginnings, in the advancement of these
two great national objects, science and wealth,
rendeiu the completion or future progress of
the work easy and certain. The schools of tho
country, indeed of all countries, are certain to
be furnished with Cabixbts of Natthk and
Art, as instruments of primary instruction;
thus giving to young minds at their start after
knowledge real substantial ideas, instead of the
mere signs of ideas. As many thousand such
collections have already been made by the pupils
needing them, both at school and at home, by
the aid of these, tens and hundreds of thousands
will soon be added to the number. At least, a
Cabinet ok Agricultural Gkoloot must inev
itably soon be placed in each of the hundred
thousand of American schools?virtuallv, if not j
literally.
From such a provision, four advantages are
evident; each making large returns for the
outlay. Fir*t, increased qualification of teach
ers?all teachers. Such a cabinet, properly
explained by a manual, must increase know
ledge and awaken mind in any teacher using
it, giving increased value to his instructions far
beyond its cost. To a certain extent, it might
give to every teacher the advantage of a nor
mal school, brought to his own door, and into
his own field ol labor. Second, it would secure
a more effective use of school funds. Probably
no complaint touching schools is more universal
on either continent than the partial or defec
tive application of public fun.Is provided for
their use. A step &o certain to awaken general
interest, and to enlighten the public mind, could
not fail to suggest somo better modes, or to
correct some defects in applying funds provided
for all. Third, the development of mineral ntul
other natural resources. Collections likely to
be made within a week after receiving a cabi
net, properly labelled, arranged, and described,
must amount to many times its cost Discov
eries would also be made, not unfrequently, of j
rich ores, useful minerals, and beautiful gems,
furnishing valuable resources to farmei*?, me
chanics, and artists. Fourth, the advancement
of firming interests. No one step could prob
ably meet so directly or so effectually the desire
now common among farmers f??r agricultural
science. Every fanner, still better, farmers'j
pons, might be put in a way to analyze their '
own soils, and directed to tho most available '
resources, and tho best modes of improving i
them. To these four advantages, certain to
arise from cabinet ) of agricultural geology for
schools, many others might be added; but, a?
each of these must exceed many times the cost
of the outlay, more cannot be needed.
Experiment*.?Some four years since, the
pupils of the New \ork schools were requested
by their Superintendent and Trustees to make !
collections for their schools and their homes.
\\ ithin tlireo weeks from the time of that re
quest, not less than fifteen thousand Family
Mu*tum* were commenced, each containing spe
cimens showing the elements of mountains,
rocks, snd soils, with other natural and artificial
curiosities. A similar request by Superinten
dents and Tmstees of schools generally through
the country must soon render collections of
nature aud art among the most common, as they
evidently would be among the most interesting,
of household utensils.
Somkwii it FASTTmors.?Tn one of the Boston
courts, last week, a follow named William Riv
ers, alias Quincy Ames, was convicted of larceny
and sentenced to the House of Correction. But
Rivers had " a soul abovo Buttons," and, calling
nn oftiocr to the dock, told him that ns tho
House of Correction was only a place for low
and petty offenders, such as drunkards and
thieves of the most contemptible sort, he should
prefer to bo sent to the State Prison. The offi
ce? informed Chief Justice Wens of the elevated
taste of the gentleman, snd tho sentence was
changed to a year iU tho State Prison.

"BIRTHS:?MRS. MEEK, OF A SON."
A Plea for Infantt.
(OnolaM)
The voice of Nuture, however, cries aloud in
behalf of Augustus Goorg?, my infant son. It
is for him that I wish to utter a few plaintive
household words. 1 am not at all angry ; 1 am
mild?hut miserable.
I wish to know why, when ray child, Augus
tus George, was expected in our circle, a pro
vision of pins was made, naif the little stranger
were a criminal who waB to be put to the tor
ture immediately on his arrival, instead of a
holy babe! I wish to know whv haste waa
made to stick those pins all over liis iunocent
form, in every direction? I wish to be informed
J why light and air are excluded from Augustus
George, like poison* ? Why, I ask, is my un
offending infant so hedged into a basket bed
stead, with dimity and calico, with miniature
sheets and blanket.*, that I can only hear him
snufllo (and no wonder!) deep down under the
pink hood of a little bathing-machine, and can
never peruse even so much of his lineaments as
his nose.
Was I expeoted to bo the father of a French
roll, that the brushes of all nations were laid in
to rasp Augustus George ? Am I to be told
that his sensitive skin was ever intended by
nature to have rashes brought out upon it, by
the premature and incessant use of those for
midable little instruments?
Is my son a nutmeg, that he is to be grated
on the stiff edges of sharp frills ? Am I the
parent of a muslin boy, that his yielding sur
face is to be crimped and small-plaited ? Or is
my child composed of paper or of linen, that
impressions of the liner getting-up art, prac
tised by the laundress, are to be printed off, all
oyer his soft arms and legs, as I constantly ob
serve them?
Was Augustus George intended to have limbs,
or to be born a Torso ? I presume that limbs
were the intention, as they are the usual prac
tice. Then, why are my poor child's limbs fet
tered and tied up ? Am I to be told that there
is any analogy between Augustus George Meek |
and Jack Sheppard t
Analyze castor oil at any institution of chem
istry that may be agreed upon, and inform me
what resemblance, in taste, ^t bears to that
natural provision which it is at once the pride
and duty of Maria Jane to administer to Augus
tus Georgo 1 Yet, I charge Mrs. Prodgit (aided
and abetted by Mrs. Bigby) with systematically
forciug castor oil on my innocent son, from the
first hour of his birth. When that medicine,
in its efficient action, causes internal disturb
ance to Augustus George, I charge Mrs. Prod
git (aided and a bet tod by Mrs. Bigby) with in
sanely and inconsistently administering opium
to allay the atorm she has raisedI What is the
meaning of this?
If the days of Egyptian Mummies are past,
how dare Mrs. Prodgit require, for the use of
my son, an amount of flannel and linen that
would carpet my humble roof? Bo I wonder
that she requires it? No! This morning, with
in an hour, 1 beheld this agonizing sight. I
beheld my son?Augustus George?in Mrs.
Prodgit's hands, ami on Mrs. Prodgit's knee,
being dressed. He was at the moment, com
paratively .speaking, in a state of nature; hav
ing nothing on but an extremely short shirt,
remarkably disproportionate to the length of
his usual outer garments. Trailing fYom Mrs.
Prodgit's lap, on the floor, was a long narrow
roller or bandage?I should say, of several
yards in extent. Iu this, I saw Mrs. Prodgit
tightly roll the body of my unoffending infant,
turning him over and over, now presenting his
unconscious face upward, now the back of his
bald head, until the unnatural feat was accom
plished, and the bandage secured by a pin,
which I have every reason to believe entered
the body of my only child. In this tourniquet,
ho passes the present phase of his existence.
Can I kuow it, and smile I
I fear I have been betrayed into expressing
myself warmly, but 1 feel deeply. Not for my
self ; for Augustus George. I dare not inter
fere. Will any one? Will any publication?
Any doctor? Any parent? Anyljody? 1 do
not complain that Mrs. Prodgit (aided and
abetted by Mrs. Bigby) entirely alienates Maria
Jane's affections from me, and interposes an
impassable barrier between us. I do not com
plain of being made of no account. I do not
want to be of any account. But Augustus
George is a production of Nature, (I cannot
think otherwise,) and I claim that he should be
treated with some remote reference to Nature.
In my opinion, Mrs. Prodgit is, from first to
last, a convention and a superstition. Are all
the faculty afraid of Mrs. Prodgit? If not,
why don't they take her in hand and improve
her ?
P. S.?Maria Jane's mamma boasts of her
own knowledge of the subject, and says she
bronght up seven children besides Maria Jane.
But how do I know that she might not have
brought them up much better ? Maria Jane
herself is far from strong, and is subject to j
headaches, and nervous indigestion. Besides
which, I learn from the statistical tables that 1
one child in five dies within the first year of its
life; and one child in three within the fifth, j
That don't look as if we could never improve in
these particulars, I think!

there, if there was one in all Ireland.
When this idea to go down there first struck
me, I was ustouiahed 1 didn't think of it before ?
however, I lost no time, but walking swiftly
down fahop street, and turning to the left at the
m,^T1CS iiig-room?as thence it was, ia
more souses than one, all down hill-in a few
manutes I was in Henlhan's private parlor with
u.at worthy himself, with a fumblerT^g
whisky-punch in his hand, opposite me, at the
clean-spread deal-table. Of course the first
discourse was about the disturbances and
the potato crop, and settling them as soon as I
could, and changing the subject, with that
readiness that only those who havo observed the
Irish can do, I inquired if he had a ballad
singer ui the house. .

The last words, " One-Pound-Two," were
given with such emphasis as no typojrranhv
could represent. Mr. Treat sang them in such
? manner as to captivate the whole Club, riviue
a very good idea of the whining tone of a public
