Put up the bar a peg higher!' And, on a signal made, another unfor lunate officer advanced to attempt the leap: but his hand couveyed a tremulous motion lo the rein once; twice, thrice, his horse refused it. 'Dash upon it; spur him at it!' thunder ed the Grand Duke. 'The terrified rider spurred his horse, and the aninif.l stepped suddenly short, flinging him over his head. Oh, the fool!' said the Grand Dnke; 'a month's arrest. INow, get on again.' 'But he could not hold the bridle; his left arm was broken. 'Takejiim away, I am glad of it; I wish it was his neck! Put up the bar a peg higher. Now, you, sir, get upon that horse and take him over.' And thus half a-dozen horseman were forced successive ly lo attempt the leap, till they were thrown or their horses thrown down, or the men injured against the barrier. 'At length it came to the turn of the two degraded men. The Duke had caused the bar to be'so constantly raised that there seemed no chance of their horses being able to leap it.

Between the American Eagle, on the one hand, and the Russian Bear, on the other, there is a fluttering in the dove-r otes an uneasy restlessnos in the bee-hives. The Eagle will swoop and Bruin love hon ey. Russia, with her immense territory, stretching from the Arctic circle lo the shores of the Black Sea, and embracing all Northern Asia, filled with the crude el ements of power, is rapidly advancing in civilization and in the developement of her resources. That Scythian region, which ere now has poured forth its hordes of invaders upon Southern Europe, is preg nant with a new race of destroyers. But when they go forth again it will not be as rude barbarians, nomadic tribes, wandering without aim and at random, as an organ ized host, in all the panoply of war, and directed by the energy of a singled mind, the force of a singled will. The rough Tartar will change his shaggy dress of skins for the regimental uniform. Instead of the Parthian arrow there will be artile ry and musketry, the bayonet and the hus sar's sabre. If France is concerned about the balance of power in America she may rind more cause of concern in that particu lar nearer home. The Cossacks have been in Paris; they will know how to find their wav again to the vineyards of Bur gundy and Champagne. As to the United States and Russia, how ever opposite they may be in respect to their several principles of government, there is a wonderful similarity in the pro- pressiveness of the two. they are both destined to play important parts in the world's future history.

Heading Cmbbage in winter. la the fail of the year, when it is time to gather cab bages, we always and more or less of them that may not have formed heads They may have grown well, and hare a large stock of leaves, but hate not closed up in the form necessary to make a good, solid, compact cabbage. A farmer frieml of ours has practised for many years the following- method, which effectually closes these loose leaves in the course of the winter, thereby fur nishing him a supply of the best kind ear ly in the spring. In the fall of the year, just before the ground close up, he gathers all the cabbages which have not headed, together. He then closes the leaves to gether by hand, winding a wisp of straw, or something else, around them, to keep them together, then puts them into a trench, with heads down and roots up. He then packs leaves, or straw and earth over them. The trencli must be dug in a place where the waters of the rains and the snows runs off, and will stand about them. A board, or a couple of boards nailed together in the form of a roof, and put over the mound, may be useful. In the spring of the year open your trench, and you will find that your cabbages are all headed firmly together, and, if wa ter has not got in, will be solid and hard, We once tried a few heads formed in this way, which were very nice. By follow ing this plan, we not only preserve the cabbages well during the winter', but save much of the crop that is considered worth but a ti ifle. Maine Farmer, Quoting British Authorities.

The late Judge Dan iels, of Virginia, used to tell with great glee, how, when a young man on the cir cuit, he saved a client's life, solely because the opposite counsel quoted from British authorities. It oceurred during the last war, when an English squadron under Ad miral Cockburn was ascending the Polo mac river, burning and plundering the villages along its banks. A negro wo man was arraigned for the murder of one of her own color; the offence was clear ly proved, and the only chance for her escape was a slight informality in the in dictment. The prosecuting attorney, in reply to i1r. Daniels' defence of his client, quoted from British authorities, showing clearly that the ground taken the latter was untenable.

The whole stock con tained several hundredsloo numerous to count. But what is most remarkable, it grew upon land which has been planted eleven years in succession. It would be a curiosity at any time, but for so dry a season as the past has been, it quite takes the rag from every other bush.

HUDSON'S BAY COMPANY. A hundred and forty years ago, or mure, Charles H. chartered the " Hudson's Bay Company," and gave it exclusive privile ges of establishing trading factories on Hudson's Bay, and its tributary rivers. It took possession of the territory, and en- t Moved its trade, without opposition, till l , j j ' 1787, when a rival company the 'North American Fur company oi Canada,' sprung up. This latter was composed entirely of Canadians, and was noted for its energy and enterprise. The jealousies -naturally arising between rivals, led to the most bar barous battles, and the sacking and burn ing of each other's posts. In 1821, Par liament interfered and consolidated them into one, tinder the title of the ' Hudson's Bay Company.' They occupy a vast country, and their operations are those ol a vast monopoly. All the British posses sions North of the Canada to the Arctic Ocean, are their hunting and trapping grounds. They have leased for twenty years from 1840, all of Russian America, except the post of Sitka. Thus this pow erful Company control more than one-ninth of the soil of the globe. Its capitalists are in England, and its Board oi' Managers transact their business at the Hudson's Bay House,' in London. This Board buy all the goods and ship them lo the territo ry. 6ell the furs, and ttaneact all the affairs of the Company, except the actual busi ness of collecting furs in their territory. The annual value of their peltries is about a million of dollars. The net profit of the fur trade is immense. The shares of the Company's stock, which originally cost one hundred pounds, are at one hundred per cent premium, and the dividends range from ten per cent upwards, and this, too, while they are creating an immense fund, to be expended in keeping other persons out of the trade.
