The Spy in Washington writes—I have, on
another occasion, remarked, that Mr. Van Bu
ren was in the habit of flattering Kendall. This
was not always the case. These gentlemen,
however, understand each other now. Van Bu
r,n 13 adroit at flattering, and Kendall swallows,
(reeiy lar^e doses. During the last summer
a:ul autumn there was a trial of strength between
these high dignitaries, tor influence with the
president. Thev will read this letter; and they
w!ll both understand the incidents to which I
rcfor. Mr. Kendall prevailed. Before the pre
sent had decided who should govern, and at
- tune when Mr. Van Buren apprehended de
.•ut. ho was conversing with a friend on the
Subject. Alluding to Kendall, he said, “ D—n
docs every thing but sleep with Gen'l.
Jackson.'1'
('l.irer avion? Com — A friend of mine sowed
.-pd clover among his corn after going through
vith the cultivator the last time, the seed was
.rotected from the heat of the sun by the corn,
, consequently vegetated very soon, and after
•he corn was cut off, there was a luxuriant
Jrowth of clover, which afforded fine pasture
\>r several successive seasons. The red clover
^ an excellent manure. 1 have raised a tine crop
f wheat by ploughing in the second growth af- ^
:er harvest.—American Farmer.
Fodder.—One of the most simple and valua-1
bie discoveries in agriculture, is to mix layers I
of vreen or new cut clover with layers of straw’.
By this means the strength of the clover is ab-1
sorbed by the straw, which, thus impregnated, 1
b«»th horses and cattle eat greedily and the clo- |
ver is dried and prevented from heating. This
practice is particularly calculated for second
crops of clover and rye grasses.
A Hick Reward—The truth of the proverb
that ‘thereis nothing lost by doing a charitable
action,” is forcibly exemplified by a corres
pondent of the Christian Advocate and Jour
nal, who furnishes a sketch of the life ol I. C.
a respectable member of the Society of Friends.
This individual, it appears, at the age of eigh
teen, w alked forty miles to put himself appren
tice to a certain trade; a ferry intervened, and
he had no money to pay the fare, but a kind
hearted woman lent him fourpence.
He learned his trade, and experienced various
vicissitudes of fortune, until he finally settled in j
New York, where he amassed a large fortune, i
and retired from business. In gratitude to the j
woman who had lent him four pence, he school- ;
ed all her children, and gave her a pension of
one hundred dollars per annum, which by a pro-1
vision in his will, she is to receive during her life. I
This is more than compound interest on the
sum originally lent.

Mr. Snowden:—1 always read the Meteorolo
gical Observations published monthly in your
paper with the attention and interest they de
serve; and, although the accompanying re
marks aie generally couched in a lucid style, I
confess I am somewhat puzzled to understand
by the note this morning whether it was a show
er of hail or a show’er of inorella cherries which
fell on the 20th ult
A shower of cherries is a phenomenon worthy
of especial note; and i w ill, therefore, be oblig
ed to you, or the worthy reporter, to clear up
my doubts on this subject. Yours, respectfully,

I India Rubber Carpets.—Dr. Jones of Mobile in
| a letter to Professor Silliman, says:—" Having
: some India Rubber varnish left which was pre
pared for another purpose, the thought occur
red to me, of trying it as a covering to a carpet
after the following manner,
i A piece of canvass was stretched and covered
with a tbin coat of glue, (corn meal size will
: probably answer best,) over this was laid a sheet
• or two of common brown paper, or newspaper,
and another coat of ghie added, over which was
; laid a pattern of house papering, with rich fi
! gures. After the body of the carpet was thus
prepared a very thin touch of glue was carried
: over the face of the paper to prevent the India
Rubber varnish from tarnishing the beautiful
colors of the paper.
After this was dried, one or two coats (as
' may be desired) of India Rubber varnish were
applied, which when dried formed a surface as
smooth as polished glass through which the va
riegated colors of the paper appeared with undi
minished, if not increased, lustre. This carpet
is quite durable, and is impenetrable to water or
grease of any description. When soiled, it
may be washed, like a smooth piece of marble
or wood.
If gold or silver leaf forms the last coat, in
stead of papering and the varnish is then ap
plied nothing can exceed the splendid richness of
the carpet, which gives the floor the appearance
of being burnished with gold or silver. A neat
carpet on this plan, will cost, (when made of
gold papet I. g) about 37 1-2 cts. a yard. When
covered with gold or silver leaf, the cost will be
about $1,00 or 1,50 cents a yard.”
SPLENDID PERFUMERY, Ac.
AFRESH SUPPLY of the following elegant
articles for the TOILET, TABLE, Ac.
just received and for sale by
J. B. HEPBURN.
Scented Waters.
Superior Cologne Water, Lavender Water,
Rose Water, Orange Flower Water, Honey
Water, Florida Water.
Essences or Extracts of Roses, Lemon, and
Orange Flowers.
This class of extracts, independent of their
fine perfume, are also highly useful in flavoring
pies, puddings, ice creams, jellies. Ac. In or
der to use them, it is only necessary td pour in
a few drops of the extract, until the article is
flavored to the taste. These extracts will keep
unimpaired for years, and are very superior to
the common distilled waters of the shops.
Extracts of Bergamot, Jessamine, MiUefeurs,
Tuberose, Jonquille, Orange, Musk, Bitter Al
monds, Lavender, Tonquin, Camelta, Citron
Flowers, Extrait de Rose, fancy.
This class of extracts are of that kind most
suitable for perfuming gloves, handkerchiefs, or
for smelling bottles. They are prepared from
the purest ingredients, and contain their differ
ent perfumes in the greatest perfection.
The Indian Dye, for coloring and preserving the
Human Hair.
This excellent and very innocent preparation
differs entirely from the various articles hitherto
used for the same purpose, inasmuch as it is
free from all noxious ingredients, and will not,
in the slightest degree, injure the texture of the
hair, or even stain the skin. Red, light, grey,
or grisly hair, can, in eight hours, be changed
by it to a beautiful and permanent black or
i brown; or if applied at night, on going to bed,
; the change will have taken place by morning.
Whiskers and eye-brows are colored with the
same facility. Price 75 cents per bottle.
Low's Indian Oil.
The Indian Oil is u compound of Bear’s Oil
with other articles of equal benefit for the
growth and for gradually coloring the hair; it
has obtained much celebrity for its fine effects,
and is in daily demand. It gives to the hair a
bright and lasting curl, and makes it, when
harsh, soft and beautiful. Persons who are be
coming grey will find the Indian Oil of much
service in preventing so great a calamity, as it
surely is, to the fashionable lady, or the aspiring
bachelor. No other direction for its use is ne
cessary than to dress the hair with it as is done
with Pomatum or Bear’s Oil. Price 75 cents
per bottle.
Punfi&l Hears Uil.
Among the many articles offered to the pub
lic for the growth and preservation of the hair,
none seem to have given so much satisfaction as
the Purified Bear’s Oil, which has been known,
in many instances, to restore the 'fair on heads
which have been bald for years; it also prevents
the hair from falling out, and quickly restores
it when lost from sickness, or any other cause.
It gives to the most stubborn locks a strong,
glossy and lasting curl, removes the dandriff
which often impedes the growth of the hair,
causing head ache, dec.
The Boar’s Oil is far superior to Antique or
Macaasar Oils, which, being of vegetable origin,
soon make the hair hard and crisp, while ani-1
mal oils, on the contrary, make it soft and beau
tiful. Of the latter class, the Bear’s Oil, being
more penetrating, is, of course, preferred. Mo
thers will find it excellent for the heads of their
children, and to gentlemen of fashion it is re
commended for the growth of whiskers. When
used, it should be well rubbed into the roots of
the hair with a penetrating hair-brush, which
excites also a healthy action in the skin; the
hair should be well oiled every other day,' be
fore combing it. Being highly purified, and
pleasantly perfumed, it will be found decidedly
superior to any other article for constant use in
dressing the hair. Price 25 cents per bottle.
Pearl Powder.
It is not the intention of this preparation to
paint the skin, but merely to remedy the effects
of heat, which it does by gently cooling its sur
face, and preventing sudden changes of the
complexion. This powder will be found free
from any deleterious articles, and may be used
with perfect safety. Trice 25 cents per box.
Chlorine Teeth H’usA.
The well known qualities of the Chloride of
Soda, in purifying generally, have induced this
establishment to prepare a Teeth-wash, in which
it forms an important ingredient. As a general
cleanser of the teeth and gums, it has no equal.
It prevents the accumulation of tartar, and, by
destroying all offensive matter in the teeth, pre
vents an unpleasant breath. One great quality
this article possesses over every preparation for
the same purpose, is, that it keeps the teeth-brush
clean while in use. Price 50 cents per bottle.
Vestimental Soap, for removing grease spots from
woollens, silks, velvets, fc.
This soap will, with very little trouble, entire
ly remove all grease spots from the most deli
cate fabrics, without injuring them in the least.

The Market.—What few sales of Sugar that
have occurred by private contract, prices were
fully sustained. The lowest price of New Or
leans is $6 3-4; prime Porto Rico is held at 8 1-2
to $9,and top St. Croix at $10. The Coffee mar
ket calm. A few hhds. Porto Rico Molasses re
ceived coastwise, is held at 33 a 34c; no arri
vals yet ofNew Orleans; the trade is bare of all
descriptions. Herrings, No. 1 are firm at $3 7 8.
Western Produce continues firm; canvassed
Hams are now’ held at 10 to 10 l-2c. Owing to
the transactions for the last few months being so
small, the money market is somewhat easier,
and the Banks are as liberal in their discounts
as can be expected.
Flour.—It will be perceived from our report
to-day, that Flour is still on the advance.—
We quote the price from wagons $5 a 5 06 1-4;
sales from stores free at 5,25. The receipts are
rather larger than usual at this season, and the
demand in proportion.
Grain.—Wheat; from the scarcity of this ar
ticle we can hardly venture a quotation; we
give our last quotation as most correct, viz: from
95 to 110c. Rye, 70 a 72c. scarce. Corn,
white, 63c.; yellow, 64c. Oats, 32 a 33c.
Whiskey.—The price from wagons 23c; sales

Corn, but w’e are not aware of any sales over
our last week’s prices. Sales confined to about
6000 bushels; early \n the week Southern White
and Yellow were taken at 70c, since which an
advance of 2c. per bu. say 72c. has been ob

RENOVATING LIQUID,

RFXENT DiSCOVERY.-R. S. Bernard’s
Renovating Liquid, for extracting all kinds
of Oils, Paints, Tar, and Grease, from the most
delicate colored Silks, Satins, Cloths, Bomba*
zines, or Velvets, without injuring, ill the least,
their color or texture.
No danger need be apprehended in using it
upon the finest and most delicate Silks—nor is
it iike the soaps so commonly advertised in our
day, which, by removing one evil, almost in
variably produce another of double size; nor
does it require the preparatory means of all
other renovators—such as hot irons and the
like. Only a little clean water, according to the
direction, is wanting.
Oil or Grease of any kind can be extracted
from the most delicate colored carpets, without
the usual trouble of taking them up. If used
according to the directions, it will at once ex
tract every particle of grease from the finest
Cloth, or most delicate Silks, without injur
ing in the least the color or texture.
