AUTOMATON lillSIlXISCKXCE. A Lrg proj rotiou of our readers have probably seen or heard of the automaton chess-player which was exhibited throughout the United States some years ago. To such, anil to others, the subjoined, reminiscence, Aliicli we find in a late translation from the French, will be found interesting. Maelzel and Mouret, as partners, were exhibiting at Amsterdam before the king and court. Tn king had announced his intention of Laviug a game of chess with the automaton.

The day arrived Maelzel occupisd hire self with the decoration, the greatest eclat possible to tLV' coming contest between the Ling and the machine "a mere machine, g-ntlemen 1 The exhi- it ion was ordered for 12:30, and as 12 o'clock sounded, his accomplice not being in the dressing-room as was always his custom. Maelzel stertnei cows the street to the ho tel t3 hurr? him up. Imagine his feurpriso to find poor Mouratin bed, covered to the nose with the blan kets. "Goodness gracious! -What do I see? What is the matter?" cries Maelzel. "Ob, I've got a fevtr! coolly re plies Moureiit.

"A fuverl How so? You were all rijrht at breakfast "Yes; but this has come cn since, like a clap of thunder. "Well, but Why, the king is coming, ina.ii alive! greatiy excited "Oh, he will have to- go back! cool as a cucumber. 'But what can I tell him?" "Tell him the automaton has got a fever." "Oil, quit your joking, and get uj: Ah! but I can't," decidedly. ''Whv. we hve nrvtr jeceived inorv inorjf for anv one exhibition." "I know: but we can oive it back." I "IIij drvil yon sav I'll run.

Oh, well is that all? Yes; so will, when the toiree is ''Nosat! I have it here." "Before we begin. I want the lrancs wiiicti were paid ycu tuis mcrnjug. "All of Just that and no more and no less. Then I will play, and not til then." "Matlzcl looked the little man in tha tut determination wai written there.

This, was evidently no time for excuses. lie had the mon ey, and Lis partner knew it, and, be -ides, was only asking what was Jus due. Ho looked at his watch it'marked 12:15, and his Majesty, who was knotvn as a model of punctuality, would be at 12:30. He took out his pocket-hook, and counted out the four notes of 500 francs each with a groan. The cure was marvelous to behold; for, soon as Mooret'8 hand closed on the money, he jumped outof bed, full dressed, boots and all.

This artful dodger had been watching for Maelzel from the window, ami when he saw hitn cross the street had just time to pop into ted. The soiree came off as appointed, and never had the automaton seemed to play with deeper inspiration. The King did not move the piece lrmself; he "simply counselled his nister of "War, v.ho jlayed tor him, but the coalition was completely routttl in two The defeat however, was put wholly on the shoulders of the Minister. Had thVy won, it would have probably been tife King who was the victor. In this samo city, a few days afterwards, ended the travels of the machine in Europe.

Tne partners separated, the best cf friends, and Maelzel begun his prepaiations for a tour of the New World, the details of which were ably recited in the Chess Journal, formerly edited by" Paul Morphy and published in New York. iSchlumberger, a German, and a very strong chess player, directed the -movements of the niacin ho, and the secret was undiscovered, except by some boys in Baltimore, who not having the cash to pay for an admission, climbed up 11 some sheds ovei looking the 100m in tho rear, and were so startled upon the conclusion of the exhibition to see a little man in f-hirt sleeves hop cut of the machine, that they nearly broke their necks in their effort to get away, and, upon reaching heme, repeated what they had seen. These facts wet published by a Baltimore newspaper," but Maelzel had the good serine to buy its further silcucc. But their fate was more es-pci illy settled by some of the New York and Boston papers, who' took them up, of toeir own free, will, and torn battel them as the most preposterous ideas ever put forth, and worthy of the childish minds they came from," and the machine continued to be considered "the greatest mechanical triumph the wwrld ever eaw!" Oh most learned pundits! There was xme thing among the numt-rous insttuctions whi.h Mons. Maelzol i gave his accomplice that deserves to be lemarked.

"If any one, tit any exhibition, fdiculd cry Jire," said ho, "don't you bo in tlo Jeast bit, alarmed. Depend upon, mo, I will get you out safe, if I die in the Upon this' he was always exlreme-ly urgent, and his reason for it was this: In tho course of his travels Le Lad orrivetl vnt? tUy.at a Lttle town in Germany, where a celebrated pro's! tiuigitateur, the Professor Anderson of that day, was giving his exhibitions. The automaton soon eclipsed the lesser humbug, he, in pique, jealous of the superior power of his riva', who caused his audiences to be com 0 "small by elegiecs, and beautifully less," closed hi doors one fine af tr rucon, and went to see tho wonder, determined if possible to discover its secret. Fifteen minutes in its company, and this skillful manipulator of hum bug saw through the veil, and knew there was a man in that box. "Where he was concealed he couldn't fay, but he knew he must bo there, and, seconded by a friend, he raised the terrible cry: "Fire! lire! Firel' One can judge of the terror spread in the audience, and of the immediate rush for the door, but strange to relate the automaton, too partook of the panic, apparently, for the most frightful noise came from its bowels, and a peifect succession of thumping and.

kicks, as though it was trying to break loose from it self while Maelzel stood aghast struck speechless. His mrpnse however was only momeatary, and was caused by the fact of a catastrophe he had never prepared for staring him in the face, menacing Lim with ruin, and demanding an immediate remedy. Recovering his presense of mind, he pushed the automaton quickly behind the screen, and then proceeded to reassure the audience, who, bythistime, seeing and smelling no smoke, had begun to think it a false alarm, but whose at ention heretofore had 10 luckily been occupied with themselves and their means of escape that they had not minded the antics of the Jmachine. The ruse of his rival, thus rompt-ly met, did no harm, and th field of battle was left in quiet possession ot the greater light, but Maelzel often said he could afford to pay that man handsomely, for he showed him the only defect in his machine. Treatment of the Tea Crop in China.

The peasantry colloct the leaf, each family its own parcel, sun-dry it before the doors cf their cabins, and. convey it to some pack-house in the district, loosely packed in cotton bags. In every dis.rict are many pack-houses, owned or rented by native tea-dealers from the ports, and the peasant, has the advantage of competition. He of course, where he get3 most, and is not wanting fa cleverness at a bargain. The tta-dealer empties the bag-iin great heaps, from which the leaf goes through the process cf firing in cast-iiOH bowls, mado for the purpose.

He then sorts into qualities, packs in the usual leaded chests, and sends to a tr aty port to be sold in open market. All these processes go on in the most open manner and in the face of the keenest competition from first to last. ei ybody kno s'where the beat tea is picked, and runners daily convey to the ports the news of the price per picul which is being paid for be sun-dried leaf and, at the outside of the season, when only the finest teas are made, this news is a matter of the liveliest interest alike to Chinese and foreign dealers. The finest tea, composed of the tender, budding leaf, is Jnecessirily limited in quantity, as the leaves are very email and only a small proportion can be picked without injuring the plant. When the chops of such tea reach the treaty ports they are again the object of active competition, this time to foreigners.

Each foreign houve has its friends among the dealers, and exerts all its influence tosecure these so-called fancy chops. The finest ccgous and souchongs go to Russia and England. The finest oolongs and greens go to England and the United States. Letter to Boston Advertiser. Iinportauce of Heading.

No matter how obscure the position in lifo of an individual, if he can read, he may at will put him-selfin the best society the world has ever seen. He may sit down with the good and great men of antiquity. Ho may converse with Franklin and Washington; with all the writers in prose and poetry. Ho may learn how to live, how to avoird the errors of his predecessors, and to secure blessings present and future, to himself. He may reside in a desert far away from tho habitations of man; in solitude, where no human eye looks upon him with affection or interest; where no human voice cheers him with the animating tones, if he has books to read, he can never be alone.

He may choose his company and the sub ject of conversation, and thus bc- como contented and happy, intelligent, wise, and geod. He thus elevates his rank in the world, and becomes independent in the best sense of the first in importance of tho department of school education. Ox on Under. Sometime ago in the Connecticut Valley, saj J. 33.

Lyman in the Farmer's club, I had an opportunity in noting an experiment. Two farmers, whose lands were side by. side, ran a race in raising tobacco. The soil was the same, the previous statement had been about the same, the plowing and pulverizing were thorough on both tracts. One farmer plowed in stable manure with a shadow furrow, and harrowed after turning so to blend the compost with two or three inches of mellow tilth at the surface.

The ether put on a very heavy dressing or rank fertilizer from a slaughter-pen, and by harrowing mixed it partiully with the surface, but many clumps and heads were left on top, and the orJer of tho decaying animal matter could be smelled half a mile. The plants were set out at the same time, tho cultivation in both cases was good for tobacco. The field where the manure was turned and mixed with the surface-soil gave a third more tobacco than the other, and the leaf was finer and cured better, making a more marketable article, which commanded two or three cents more per pound. Somebody tells the Scientific American of a way to clear a well of carbonic acid gas. It is to lower a red hot iron to the water so as to pro-eluce a little steam.

The vapor instantly absorbs the gas. The principle of all viutue and excellence lies in the power of denying ourselves the satisfaction of our own desires. Locke Farmers' Clubs. From the Maryland Farmer. Farmers should follow the example of merchants, mechanics, mann-factuiers, as well as other classes of our industrial population, and combine for self-protection, because combination gives them strength, and when thus united they can learn of each other very many valuable things that without organization would be lest to each other, and to the world.

A co temporary speak-icg on this subject 6ays: "Let us farmers quit some of the old hackneyed path, and avail ourselves of the examples offered by the shrewd, money-making classes about us, and thus gain strength by union, protect our interests by a better knowledge of them, and gaia ability to state and defend them, and learn of each other how to secure the best products in our art at the least cost." The advantages of Farmers' Clubs have beea so thoroughly discussed by the press that it is needless at this time to go into details, we therefore submit the following form lor the organization of a Farmer's Club. Article 1. This Association shall be styled the Aet. 2. Its object shall be to promote the interests of agriculture, and the welfare of the farmer; to disseminate such knowledge, practical and scientific, as shall conduce to that end.

Art. 3. Its officers shall be a President, Vice-President, Secreta ry, and Treasurer, who shall be chosen rfnnually by ballot. Art. 4.

The president shall preside atall meeting of the Club, with power to preserve order and appoint speakers and commitlees. Aet. 5. In the absence of the president all his power may be exercised by the vice-president. Art.

6. The secretary shall keep a record of the proceedings of each meeting, which shall be read by him at the opening of the next meeting. He shall preserve all essays read by members, reports of Committees, and conduct whatever correspondence is directed by the Club. Art. 7.

The treasuer shall a correct account of all moneys received, shall disburse the same as directed by the Club, and at each annual meeting present a clear and correct statement of the same. AhT. 8. There shall be at each meeting a discussion upon a topic previously announced; a member being appointed to read an essay upon it, and two other members to commence the discussion as leaders. Art.

9. New members may be elected at any regular meeting of the Club by siguing the constitu tion and paying the sum of Art. 10. The annual meeting of the Club shall be holden of each year, for the election of officers; and all officers so elected shall hold their office one year or until a new election is made. Depth to Plant Seeds.

The proper depth to plant seeds is a question of considerable importance, and one which, like many other similar questions relating to plant growth, cannot receive a definite answer that would bo of general or universal application In dry sandy soils, situated in dry climates, a deeper covering will be required than would be judicious where both soil and climate indicate the reverse of these conditioiiF. For instance, it has been shown that pead" continue longer in bearing condition, on sandy soils, when sown at a depth of six inches, than they do when placed nearer the surface; and it is said that the Indians upon the table lands of Colorado plant corn 10 or 12 inches below the surface with the best result-; but if planted with only one or two inches of covering, the crop fails. Seeds also vary in their ability to penetrate depths of soil in germinating. Leguminous seeds, and some of the largest seeding germii.se, can be planted deeper than those of a lighter character. It has been given as a general rule that all seeds girminato most speedily when covered with a depth of soil equal to their own thickness, and where tho constant presence ot sufficient for germination can be maintained; this rule is, perhaps, as nearly correct as any that can be given.

The Economy of Cooking Food. When wheat 6traw is fermented by mean3 of green, moist vegetable matter, as fresh clover or grass placed in layers among it, its quality as feed is much improved. It is found that the process not only renders mere soluble the fibie of the straw, but actually converts parts of it into starch, sugar and gum. Accurate experiments according to Professor Voelker, in Transactions cf Royal Ajrrieu tural Society of England, 1871 have proved that the fermenting process enabled fifty per cent, of the vegetable fibre to become soluble, while of tho unprepared straw only twenty-six per cent, is soluble. When chaff of sttaw is steamed in an ordinary feed chest, under a pressure of fifteen pounds per inch, and allowed to cool gradually, the 6am effect is produced, and one ton is equal in nutriment to two tons unsteamed Besides, by mixing with it meal of any kind, or bran, the flavor is dif-fusetl among tho mass and it is rendered much more palatable.

In this way, even wheat straw may be used as fodder, and a great saving effected. Hearth and Home. Mr. Mcody, of the Winihrop Gazelle, who has had some pedagogical experience, tells the following joke of himself: We once had a pupil who would not study, but who was a ken, quick-witted, perfect clon. We one day saw him busily engaged with his slate.

Accidentally passing his desk, we discovered on his slate a caticatureof somebody. We cared nothing for the picture, but wishing him to know we had seen it, we said, "George He looked up and drawled our, "WThat "Were you looking in the the glass when you drew that?" "No," said he, "I was looking at you, New Use for Fresti Eggs. The Farmer says: Mr. John Murphy, of this city a gentleman of intelligent and close observation recently made to us some interesting statement? in regard to the valuo of fresh eggs in affording nourishment, to weak animals, that are worth remembering by all farmers. Ho remarked that ho had known a young colt which to all appearance was nearly dead, the breath of life being barely perceptble, to be quite instantly revived by giving it one or two fresh eggs.

The same results, in several cases to which he was knowing, have followed the administering of eggs to weak calves, and also to feeble and chilled lambs. A remedy so eimple, so easy at hand, and so effectual in tho cases mentioned which often occur with calves and lambs- should be remembered by all our readers." Stirring the Soil. In your valuable paper of the 1st inst, is an article signed "Observer, who gives testimony to a previous article, headed Too much Stirring of the Soil." Now, I agree with tho writer, but by observation we find that a good many (so called) farmers do not stir their soil often enough, or at least in dry seasons, a the previous season has been. My experience has taught me to stir the soil in hoed crops at least twice a week during dry weather; by-doing so we bring a fresh supply of nitre and other susceptibilities to the surface, and they will attract the dampness from the atmosphere, where we claim the greatest part of the necessary substances come from; but by discontinuing cultivation during a drouth, the susceptibility to atmospheric nourishment loses its most valuable properties by being exposed to the sun, consequently the soil dries out. We do not write this to; insinuate that we know all about it, but merely to give you our Experience.

Handling Hogs. In a late nura bcrofthe Cermantown Telegraph is the fo lowing, which we reproduce: A practical breeder gives tho following advice, which in the main we think sound, for those whoso herd is not too large, and who arc engaged in mixed husbandry. To handle hogs to the best advantage, needed of mixed grasses, clover, blue grass, and timothy, and it is best if there is no running water or stockonds in tho lot. Hogs do better where there are no branches or stock ponds to wallow in. In place thereof, have good well water pumped for them.

Have troughs made, and nail ttrips across, eight inches apart, to keep the hogs from lying down in the water, and let these hogs be put on floors, to keep them from digging up wallowing holes. If any feed be given it should bo soaked in swill barrels for twelve hours before feeding or longer and fed to them as drink. What Some Wedding Presents are Worth. A New York correspondent of the Utica Observer writes thus: It is said of weddings, that an ingenious method of making bridal presents discovered, and one fair bride, at least, has been enlightened regarding "the tricks and the manners" of wedding guests. A newly made wife, having had a multiplicity of salvers given her on her wedding day, claimed the privilege usually accorded the recipient of such favors of exchanging whatever duplicates she might possess for something of which she stood in greater need.

With this end in view, she repaired to Tiffany's one day with a duplicate salver and made known her wish to exchange it. What was her surprise, however, to see the shop-man g'ance suspiciously at the article and deny that it had ever been purchased at that establishment. "Where did it come from, then?" the lady somewhat indignantly asked. "Doubtless from some dollar store, madam' was the candid reply. It was in vain the lady asserted that such could not be the case; in vain that she called the shop man's attention to the elegant case bearing Taffany's own trade murk.

"That makes no difference, madam," was the reply. "There is a great demand for our empty cases this season, and this is probably the use to which they were put. A salver like that ca be purchased for a few dollars on any of the avenues; whereas, were it the genuine article, it would cost a hundred, and the donorfancics ho has all the credit of a bona fide gift, if it is sont in one of our eases." The bride probably left Titlarks sadder and a wiser woman, and it Ls equally probable that another ''wedding fuest" was shortly made to "beat his breast" with mortification andchairrin. Be Cheerful. Look happy, if you do not feel so.

Present a cheerful exterior, though jour heart and mind be troubled. Never wear a face which, as Sidney Smith saj-s. "is a breach of the peace." Dr. Johnson used to observe that the habit of looking at the best of a thing was worth more to a man than a thousand pounds a year, and fjamuel Smiles observes: "We possess the power, to a great extent, of so exercising the'will as to direct the thoughts upon objects calculated to yield happiness and improvement, rather than their pposites. In this way, tho habit of happy thought may be made to spring up like any other habit.

And to bring up men or woman with a genuine nature of this sort, a good temper and a happy frame of mind is, perhaps, of even more importance in many cases, than to perfect them in much knowledge and many accomplishments." i VALUABLE UEtlPES.

Tbc Grand Central Hotel. The Grand Central Hotel, on Broadway, New York, has of late become a familiar name with most of our people. In -view of this publicity, a few facts concerning it will not be amiss. It occupies both the sight of the old Lafrage House and the former wouthern Hotel, opposite Bond favorite hotels in their day with Southern and Western people.

It covers, also, the entire block through to Mercer street, its massive front of marble encompassing besides the foundations of several other large houses. It cost nearly two millions of dollars and is said to be the finest hotel in the world. It is certainly one of the grandest structures that adorns tlie city, and Isew York boasts of its hotels. It was a costly experiment to raise the huge pile of marble, with its palace appointments, but its central location, combined with other advantage, caused its success fiom the start. Dot less than a thousand guests fiequently enjoying its hospitalities at one time.

It undoubtedly the largest hotel, with the least prices, charging from a dollar to two dollars per day less than any other, being the only hotel in New York that has adopted the plan of reduction.
