ExTENT or THE clrY Or CANTON.

The Canton Register remarks, that
foreigners in China are prohibited entering
within the walls Of cities, except on special
occasions, but that there is no law against
their walking In the suburbs. They are,
however, by usage, limited TO very narrow,
bounds. These bounds have been occa-
sionally passed, and Europeans have sew
oral tinoo extended thoir walks aro,ind
the walls of Canton. This excursion is
commonly effected at the expense Of an
occasional battle with the idle natives,
who may be fallen in with by the way, and
an English Baronet once paid for the
indulgence of his curiosity by being rob-
bed of his watch and clothes. In March
last party of three gentlemen sat out at
6 o'clock in the morning, to make the
circuit, and accomplished it with impuni-
ty, in about two hours. They estimated
the distance to be nine miles. A few days
afterwards, two persons sat out for walk,
and were less fortunate. They were Vi
olently assaulted by a rabble of men and
boys, and pursued with bludgeons, brick
bats and stones, and were obliged to fight
and run alternately, for distance of sew
eral miles.

)RTANCE OF KNOWLEDGE TO THE
FARMER.

The farmer ought to rise early, to
that others do so, and that both his

inspected, and not only every field
plned but every beast seen at least
a day. 8. In considerable farm, il
the utmost consequence to have
specially appropriated for each of
nost important departments of labour,
here is often a great loss of time, where
pms are frequently changing their ems
nents and the work is not executed
well. A. Every means should be
ght Of to diminish labour, or to in
Fe its power. For instance, by prop
arrangement five horses may do as
labour as six perform, according to
Psual mode of employing them. S. A

The rule by which the multiplier is dis
covered (but which we do not attempt TO ex-
plain) is this: Multiply the last figure 10y of

wish the product to be composed, and that

Thus, when it was required to have the pro-
duct composed of two, the multiplied by 8

EATING ONES SELF. As one of our Hud-
son River steamboats, was about leaving the
wharf on Saturday, two sturdy fellows were
seen hustling through the crowd, with as
much impotence as if they feared she would
fly before they could get hold of her. Too
eager to wait till he had fairly reached her.
one of them, to the infinite amusement of
the passengers and by-standers, vociferated
an application in his broad iust-come-over
dialect as follows -" Captain! Captaini

directions on this subject are from

When the first ears are ripe enough
iced, gather a sufficient quantity for

would wish your corn to be ripe, gem

corn gathered as last described, plant

Ing, replant from that first gathered,

LIT. The above method / have prac-
many years, and am satisfied it

If there is among our readers, a single
man, or woman, who remembers the good
old customs of Neutrality-suspicious. ex-
cept boys and girls, though born in the
eastern lands-their memory runneth not
to such things as those to which we would
now invite attention)-but to the man or
woman, from New-England, whose head
may have sprinkling of gray, we ask
attention to the following sketch from the
Nantucket Inquirer.-U. S. Gaz.
Indeed, so fond of riding on horseback
were the country people, that almost every
horse carried double-sometimes the hus-
band would take up his wife behind him,
seated on high hoped pillion, so that
frequently the ton of her bonnet would be
nearly foot above his hat-sometimes
two fine healthful damsels, would mount
old Roam, and pace off at the rate of six
knots an hour-accompanied, perhaps,
by Ichabod, on his sorrel colt, Just broken
to the service, with his sweet heart, joan
ma, securely placed behind him, her right
arm around his body, with her fingers
thrust through the button holes of his coat,
and her left hand holding on the crupper,
SO as to guard against discontinue. This
last method of riding we think has decid-
ed advantage over all others, inasmuch as
it is less dangerous for ladies than any
other mode of riding on horseback, and
at the same time it must beget kind of
nearness of feeling between the gallant
and gallantee, very desirable on such oc-
casions."

PERTINACIIY.

49,
Attorney Gcneralship upon General Jackson,
i, stuck to by old Ebony, with amusing peril
nacity. The reirera,ion of the falsehood is no
matter calling for remark That is altogether
IN the line of business which old Ebony pro
rrssrs But The gross ignorance of our history
and constitution, which The lie betrays, is ano-
ter matter.
Tennessee was admitted into the Union, as a
sovereign state, in 1896. General Jackson was
her first representative in Congress, and took
hi, seat in December, 1896. Gen. Washington
was then President His term of service ex-
pired in March following, 1897, when he was
succeeded by Mr.. Adams. Gen. Jackson serv-
ed on, this session of Congress, and was elect,
ed a Senator in the next Congress ana took his
seat, which he retained until the fall Of 1898,
when he resigned it.
The Pre- sdent Of the United States has no
power TO appoint an Attorney General Tor
State. He can appoint a United States Dis
tricl Attorney in each State. But The person
:As q al pqQgssd District Attorney, eanno! hold
ION did not appoint General Jackson United
States Distric, Attorney for Ter see, is prov
ed by the fact, that he was a member Of Con.
gress, from the time Of the organization of the
State, tn The termination Of President Wash
ingtons term Of office. General Jackson could
not, under the Constitution, be member Of
Congress and District Attorney at the same
time. Every American politician knows This
But old Ebony does not. Neither does his
Washington correspondent, #, indeed such
CORES pond, Mt be not altogether fictitious This
correspondent says Washington appointed
Jackson * ne served eight years. That is, Jack
son was District Attorney, member of the y.
States House Of Representatives, or Senator in
Congress at The same time. None but foreign
blundeter could attempt 10 pass so absurd q
fnlsehood upon the nation. Whether Ibis
blpnder originated with the father al Cincinna-
Il, or the son at Washington, is imma,cridl.
The ignorance and impudence Of The assertion
are lhe same. Ii is strange thar the descen-
dants Of our revolutionary patriots, men who
have acquired Correct knowledge of our in
situlions and history, and who feel, rs gel,
some regard for family and character, can give
counienance 10, and associate with, the foreign
renegade, whose ignorance Of our history, con-
siiturinns and laws, leads him TO attempt the
PRONUNCIATION of such monsrous and absurd
ialsehoods as that Presiden, Washington APP
pointed an Attorney General for Tennessee! or
that General Jackson discharged, a, the same
time, The duties OF member Of Congress and
United States District Attorney! Such pro-
pagator of falsehood may be very appropriate
lieutenant OF poiical police for Gen. Jackson,
should think noe very suitable associate for
some who consort with him But "2oitics, like
poverty, brings a man acquainted with strange
bedfe llows." and Che who lies down with dogs,
