81 Mr.. Jones the Wing candda,cfor Governor of
Tennessee, published long list of times and places
when and where he would address his fellow citizens
throughout the State. Thercupon Governor Polk,
thinking to intmidatc and bear down his youth
full competitors gave notice that he should meet HIM
at all the appointed times and places. Accordingly
the two champions met upon 'various occasions, but
at length Governor Polk heartily sick of the collision,
remarked i'll of his public speeches "As nv OIL
cal duties require me TO visit the seat Of Government
can accompany Mr.. Jones no further, and ! must
therefore make separate appointments 'of my own
"Oh, very WELL replied Mr. Jones, IF the Governor
finds it announcement 10 accompany me, can very
SLY alter my arrangements and accompany HIM, and
shall most certainly do So
SO it seems that his Loco Foco Excellcncy finds il
great deal easier to get into cntangng alliances than
to get loose from tlcm.- Boston Alias.

Sir, noticed in your paper of the 10Th April,
that hay was very scarce in your vicinity, and
that il was selling at very high rate. foresaw
as early as the first of February that hay Must
be very scarce this spring, which induced Inc
to make the following experiment. ! commen-
ced boiling potatoes, one bushel per day, to
which was added one peck of oatmeal. which
made about 20 gallons Of swil soon increased
the quantity to three bushels Of potatoes and one
bushel oatmeal; and with this, together with
about three and half tons of hay and one and
half tons of straw, have kept 2G head of neat
cattle, six horses and ninety sheep-in much
better condition than if they had been fed al
together on hay. | estimate the whole expense
of feed from that time at ssllO whereas had
fed them altogether OH hay, at $40 per ton, the
expense would have amounted to $500.
] am aware the season is too far advanced for
the public to profit much by my experiment al
present. but it may be the means of saving
money to some farmers hereafter in time of scar.

TIPpECANOE FLAG.

1t will be rccolected by our readers. that Mr..
Brooks one of the editors of the New York
Express, at the great convention on the Tippe-
canoe battle ground, in May last, was entrusted
by the surviving soldiers OF that battle, with the
flag that was in the thckcst of the contest, with
Instructions to bear it to Washington, after the
election of Gen. Harrison, for the purpose OF
placing it among the trophies of the republic.
Mr.. Brooks delayed the duty until matters
should be quietly settled after the inauguration
at Washington--and waited, as he says. until,

see Farmer, as to the manner of forming and
planting bed Of asparagus, will no doubt be ac-
ceptable to many Of our readers. 1t will be
seen that this wholesome and delicious vegetable
can be easily cultivated by every family that
posses few yards Of ground. A good bed will
last fifteen or wenty years, and will bear cut
ting some twenty times season. 1t occupies
but little space, and the trouble and expense of
culture IS much less than is generally supposed.
A bed, five feet by twenty, will contain one hun
dred roots, and is large enough for moderate
sized family. If good two-years old roots are
used, they will bear some cutting the next year
after planting. The directions for making the
bed are as follows:
"Ifthere is any choice. select warm location,
where the soil is deep and rich, neither wet nor
dry mark out the boundaries of the bed, and dir
out the earth to the depth Of eighteen inches
1.-THE location is rather wet, and the bottom
hard, dig six inches DEEPER and put in six inches
oyster shells or loose stones) fthe top soil is
good, lay it on one side, but wheel the poor earth
away.-Then take well-rotted manure and mix
it with an equal portion Of good earth, and fill up
the bed even with the surface: than rake il
smooth and place the roots on the top of the
ground twelve inches apart spread the fbres
and fix them in their natural position with the
hand then cover the whole with three or four
inches Of the mixed compost, smooth it off neat.
w, and the work is finished. Water the bed
after planting, if dry weather succeeds, and kecl
it clear of weeds during the summer. Before
setting in of winter, cut off the stock, and give
an annual dressing of two or three inches OF
manure. The toughest of this should be raked

ARRIVAL OF THE CALEDONIA.
FOURTEEN DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE.

The steamer Caledonia, arrived at Boston
on the 10,h inst. bringing London papers to
the 81 of May inclusive, and Liverpool pa

We make the following summary Of the
intelligence brought by this arrival
EyGLANp.-The English Ministry have
sustained defeat in the House Of Commons
on the 9th Of April, on the Irish Voters
Bill. The question was on passing the Sc
cond clause of the bill establishing an rs
franchise as the limit of the qualifications Of
voter. This was rejected by vote OF
2S0 to 300, making II majority of eleven
against Ministers. The Ministry considered
this decision as fatal to the principle of the
Bill. They therefore abandoned it.

The Dublin Monitor states that the accounts
from all parts OF ireland, as to the state of the
rcgstrics, are most dcplorablc. The Liberals
are beaten in some Of their strongest, holds, and
the Tories have triunphed by vast naiorties.-
Louth is all but lost: OF all the counties in Ire
land it was considered the most secure. With
few exceptions, the tenants of the numerous
large Wing proprctors OF Louh are unregist-
