BONNETS.
Of all th;. charms dear woman wears,
Of all her many trapa and snaves,
For real effect there's naught compares
With a truly pretty bonnet;
For when or wherever you chance to meet
One that is pei fccrlv modrst and neat.
You may depend 'tin a proof complete
That the head has more in than on it.
No matter whether she's pretty or not.
How much or how little money she's got,
Whether she live in mansion or cot,
'Tia a fact, depend upon it;
The Woman to make a man happy through life,
To make a model mother and wife,
Is one who, scorning this milliner strife.
Wears a plain j^ud tasteful bonnet.
Now, a bonnet of genuine beauty and grace.
Worn on the bead in its proper place,
Shadowing faintly the wearer's face,
" Is a thing for a song or a sonnet."
But one of these gay and gaudy things,
Made up of rainbows and butterfly wings,
A mixta, e of flowers, ribbons .lllti Btrines
18 dreadful, depend Ujjuii it.
A vulgar mass of " fuss ond feather,"
A nttle of everything thrown together,
As if by a touch of windy weather,,
A wretched conglomeration—
A sort of e cup to Catch a hair,
Leaving the bead to "go it bare."
A striking example of -'Nothing to wear,"
Is this bonnet abomination.
It makes a woman look brazen and bold,
As^trt lier in catching nothing but cold,
Is bad on the young, absurd on the old,
And deforms what it ought to deck .
For look at her face, no bonnet is there;
See at the sido it Imngs by a hair;
View it behind, and you will declare
That the creature has broken her neck.
No matter where you may chance to be,
No matter how many women you see,
A promiscuous crowd or a certain she,
You may fully depend upon it
That a gem of the very rarest kind,
A thing most difficult to find,
A pet for wliich we long have pined,
Is a perfect " love of a bonnet."

Tl»e Grape l-ultiire.
The Scientific Convention met at Baltimore on
the 28th May. During the second day'a sitting,
several interesting papers were read and discussed.
That of the moat interesting to our section is
thus reported :
"The grape culture iu Missouri" by Professor
S. Gf. Swallow, State Geologist of the State of Mis:
souri, was the next paper read. Prof. Swallow-
said lhat although not strictly scientific, bis subject was the result of deep acrentilic research. He
alluded to the many difficulties that the cultivators of the grape have had to contend with in this
conntry, and gave a full and succint statement of
the vine from its first introduction into the state
up to the present time.
From the time of the landing of Noah up to the
present dates, he said, the cultiire cf the grape
ite pastime of Solomon ; in India, in Arabia, and
in fact almoEt throughout the world, it was now
grown to a greater or less extent. The various
soils adapted to the growth ofthe grape was then
explained—some soils were too dry, others too
moist. The soil should be warm, dry, and have
plenty of lime and kindred alkalies. The Profes?
sor remarked, that the soils on the banks of the
Rhine, the Ohio and the Missouri, were almost similar, and hence the wines from these localities
were similar to the taste. Soda, potash, lime and
magnesia were necessary to the successful growth
of the vine, end he went on to prove hy statistical
tables the truth of thin theory.
In some portions of India, he said, while the
thermometer would range in the vicinity of 140
degrees at noon, and at night the cold was so intense as to make camp fires necessary, the grape
flourished—and these sudden changes, too, occurred at the very time the grape was ripening.
Dr. Jackson, of Boston, followed in a few remarks on the subject, urging that all soils, to pro
dnce grapes in perfection, should be deeply im-
pregmited with phosphoric acid. He remarked
that the grape culture had been sadly neglected
iu this country, and be was pleased to see so lively
an interest being awakened on the subject. The
people of Massachusetts were now engaged in the
manufacture of native wine, and hy the most sim
pie process imaginable. The pure juice of the
grape was put away, with a small quantity of loaf
sugar in each vessel containing it ; the sugar
soon produced the alcohol necessary to ripen it,
and hence a pure article almost free from intoxicating influencec was produced with the least trouble imaginable.
Dr. Jackson put several questions to Prof. Swallow, in reply to which, regarding phosphoric acid
the Professor said, the lands of his State contained
on an average 900 per cent., which was quite suili-
Oient ior wi ftuwv&iui ^univalion or me soil.
The Rt. Rev. Dr. Lynch gave quite an interesting account of the culture of the grape in North
and South Carolina. He contended that a wine
made from the pure juice of the grape, would soon
drive from the community the miserable and poi-
soiuons whisky and brandy now so abundant. He
remarked, that a more genera! culture of the vine
could not but prove a blessing to the people of the
entire country.
The Allitntlc  TtHgraph.
At last accountB, the whole ot the Atlantic submarine telegraph cable, had been coiled away on
board   the  Niagara  and   Agamemnon,   the   two
imera which are to perform the work of laying
it, with the exception of an additional length of
one hundred miles of wire which it had been determined to manufacture, and which was in rap'd
course of construction. Great efforts to Insure
success to lbe undertaking have been made. No
precaution lias been neglected, no suggestion (and
these, it is said, have been sent in by thousaudsl
that was worth attention has been ignored, and
all that skill and science can do has been accomplished. The length of cable wilh which the attempt was made last year was rather under than
over 2400 miles, which was so near the quantity
actually required that the first Ions ot 300 u.iles
defeated the whole project ior the time beiu
Now the length of the cable on board both vessels
iu ptmimvtj ooia ,„[[„„, exemsmrJ or n_e shore
ends, which amount to about thirty miles more.
The two points to he connected are 1950 statute
miles apart, so that 1100 miles, or 40 per cent., is
allowed for accidents and slack iu paying out,
This immense cable weighs one tun per mile, and
is equally divided between tho two steamers. The
share assigned to the Niagara is not all iu on**
coil, but is divided into several lots which are
distributed on the various decks, but of course
ostly amidships. The heavy shore ends for
both countries will go in the accompanying frigates. Last year the cable was coiled in one1 vast
mass of 1250 miles long in the Agamemnon, and
thia immeuse weight btowed amidships destroyed
her equilibrium to a most uncomfortable degree,
while the pressure of the mass on so small a surface strained her timbers. To obviate this disadvantage, the cable, though still coiled in the hold,
is distributed so as to obviate too great a concentration of pressure.
All the vessels ofthe squadron would leave PI j-
mouth about the 25th of May, ou their experimental trip, which was expected to occupy from six to
days. During this about one hundred miles
of condemned cable will he used in ascertaining
the efficiency of various buoys, laying down aud
underrunuing the wire, &c, and wheu all doubts
and theories are solved, the fleet will return lo
Queenstown, to make final preparations lo start
for lhe graud attempt about the 10th of June.
About that period there ie a month of almost uninterrupted calm in the Atlautic, but boisterous
weather, even if it does occur, it is thought is not
likely to affect the progress of submerging  afler
as once fairly commenced, for the paying out
machine is said *o be so sufficiently self-acting as
to almost compensate in its action for any sudden
in tlie stern ofthe vessel to the pitch of the
sea. The squadron will miike all speed to the
centre of the space to be  traversed by  the cable,
where the splice betweeu the two halves will be
made without loss of time.
To overcome the difficulty caused by the two
portions of lhe cable having their "lay " or twist
of the outside spiral wires turning in different directions, and forming right and left hand screws,
the splice will be secured to iodu of iron loaded
with a weight in the centre ; in fact, an apparatus of the same kind as that by which railway
carriages are coupled together. By this means
the tendency of the different spirals to untwist
each other will be overcome.
There is 1500 fathoms ot water where the joint
must be made. As soon as the cable has well nettled to the bottom the Niagara will steer for the
New World, and the Agamemnon will return to
the Old, wilh as much speed as the safety ot the
undertaking will permit; so that the cable will
be either laid or lost withiu fifteen days from the
lime of starting. The depths to which the Niag
ara will have to sink her portion vary quickly
and irregularly from 1500 to 2500 fathoms,
from 13 to about 3i miles ; and thie is the case
also with the Agamemnou's portion of tbe distance. But ou the American side the water shoals
easily and gradually towards Newfoundland,
whereas on the British portion of tlie ocean lhe
Agamemnon will have to surmount a tremendous
ridge, whieh commences at about fifteen degrees^
west longitude, aud iu the course of a few miles
the water suddenly shoals from 1750 fathoms to
550. Up this vast rocky precipice—ajmost as
steep as the side of Mont Blanc—the cable must
be laid with extreme care. To provide against
dangerous weather, each vessel is provided with
reels of strong wire rope, which can be attached
to buoys, made in the manner of ordinary fishing
lloats, c-ipable of sustaining a weight of several
tons. Provided with this apparatus, tbe cable
may be cut without hesitation, il ever the weather
rope and buoy) allowed to rest almost upon ilit*
bed of the ocean, to be hauled up as soon as the
storm is over.
UUnntt<r nt Sen—The Steamer Commodom
The steamer Commodore sailed from San Fran-'
cisto for Victoria with passengers for Fr»aer river
mines. .She bad about 'iSOpasficngers, a crew *nd'
officers amounting to 40, and about 80O torn of
fieight. She left on Thursday, July 8, kt 4, p. m,-
The first day out everything went along well, al-'
though with a short sga and' a head wind. On Saturday tha wind increased—Sunday it blew % gale'
the ship creaking and groaning, and laboring heavily. At midnight it was blowing very heavily,'
with a high sea running, her gunwale under water
and ship unmanageable.' We take the following
Irom the account given by the S. F. Herald:
Monday.—The ship lying in the trodgh'of tha'
sea, helpless. Impossible to get headway on her.'
Captain gave orders to throw dcckload overboard.
The ship altogether unmanageable, and lying in1
the trough of the sea with lhe gunwale under the
water. Orders given to man the pumps i water
within a foot of th" «•■<"*; VP»r*j-aetaneu m l>«il j
passengers quiet and calm, working at pumpa and
bailing like heroes. Mr. Bernstein, one of the'
passengers by the Commodore, and also one of
those saved from the wreck of the Central America, describes the condition of tho Commodore at
this juncture as being exactly similar to that of
the Central America. At fi *.m. orders were given
to shoot and throw overboard the horses, of which
there were twenty on board. This scene it de-'
scribed as being most pitiful. As one horse was
led out, his owner stepped np to Capt. Staples and
with tears iu his eyes staled that it was all he
owned in the world, and was the dependence of
himself and family. Capt. Staples ordered tht
horBe to be led back, saying that if he could manage lo save the ship the horse should be saved also. At II a.m., one of the pumps gave out and
the leak increased; the engine hardly moved ; tho
steampipe was cracked and the boilers displaced,
moving from'side lo side with the rolls of the ship.
At 3 p M. a squall was observed coming up, whicli
Capt. Staples dcterminiid to take advantage of, if
=ible, and get bis ship before the wind. Iu half
hour from that time the Commodore ans^erefl-
her helm, and went round flying belcre the wind
like a race horse. Ouly persona who bave been
in similar circumstances can appreciate the feel-'
iug of intense'relief experienced by all on board1
at this time. There seemed to be no longer any
le, the seas foamed and roared in their wake
without boarding, and rne' passengers fervently
congratulated each other on their almost miraculous escape.
The commodore arrived at San Franciseo on th«'
Wednesday following.

The return of the strainer Commodore, and the

ageut or owner, was on board the steamer, which?
they Instantly besieged in great numbers, threatening to lynch Capt, Wright. The cabin was so
densely crowd d with excited men that it was' almost impossible to stir hand or foot. By this'
time intelligence of what was going on reached1
the police office, when the Chief, attended by about
twenty officers, hastened down to the eud of Pacific street wharf, where ths Commodore was moored, and fore d their way into the cabin. In the'
meanwhile, the skylight above had been takeu off
and a tope let down, which was Ivrce thrown over
Capt. Wright's hat, the more excited oftlie crowd'
eying oat, "hang him I hang liim!" The arrival of the officers, however, put an end to these'
proceedings. Under a strong escort ol police officers. Capt. Wright left the steamer and repaired-
io his office in Sacramento street, where the pro-'
cess of repaying the passengers was commenced.'
Two officers kep't the door, allowing only six men
to enter at a time, and four others remained in-*
side to preserve order. The claims were paid as
fast as presented, and in a few hours the whole
excitement had ceased, as far as any outward or
bos iie manifestation was concerned.— S, F. Herald.
The InOHDATIOMa is tiik West.—Are we ever'
to hear the last of the floods in the West! Each
mail brings tidings of some new disaster. The tel-'
egrapb has only just ceased to recount the tale of
the crevas e in New Orleans, when it is called into'
operation to describe that of Mississippi. At other
points above these there are brief accounts of overflow. And iu tbc North-west, the inundation has*
been without parallel. Tbe storm of the I2th June'
Imost laid the whole prairie land of the West under water.    The Wabash and all the  other valleys
converted into lakes. The river has risen so'
high above its banks, that every wharf and levee,1
beginning with that of St. Louis, is under water.—
On the upper part of lhe river, the papers contain
accounts of twelve towns or villages  which arc ei-'
• partially or wholly destroyed or submerged;—*
Cairo is a mere wreck. The Illinois central company .V'.'.tsL   h,:_veJos_t   all their  works lions, stores.
I is estimated that in Louisiana alone the loss* of
sugar sawed bv the inundation is equal ts $3,000,-
000, and of Cotton ^4,000,^)00. It may be said, perhaps, thai allowing fairly tor tlie destruction of corn
and other crops iu the No--thwest. of railroad pro-*
perty, real es ate and dwelling houses, the total damage by this spring's inundation is not less than1
twi uty live millions of dollars.
