Chinese Hemp Fifteen feet High.
FRANKroRp, Ky, Sept. 20, l8t

FnANKroRD, KY, Sept. %, 1855.
Editor Of the Caisen,
DEAR SIR--N hen at the Lexington, Ky.
Fair, last week, saw a specimen Of hemp
In the green stalk, labelled "Hemp from Chi.
nese seed" Of such surprising length and
fineness that, with many others, was in
uced to inquire into its derivation and char
acteristics. Learning that it possess ed many
new and valuable features, and that con-
siderable field of it was in process Of har-
vesting in a neighboring county, went &c
visit it. found that number of persons,
hemp growers like myself, had been attrac-
ted 10 the spot.
The field was about three fourths cut, and
where the hemp was laid it covered the
ground so completely, and to such depth
as have never seen within my experience
The average height of The hemp when stand.
ing was twelve feet, with, thought third
more stalk in the ground than usual. CO.
incided with those present, in the belief that
the crop on the field would yield 1900 lbs
to the acre. Specimens Of the water rottcC
lint which / saw, indicated, in a great de
gree, strength, density, smoothness ant
heaviness.
The field upon which the hemp wal
grown-I was assured by the proprietor
Mr.. Vance, and his nelghbors- had beer
in cultivation for more than thirty years, ant
could not be relied upon 10 produce the or
binary hemp. Twas shown spot of richie
ground at one corner of the field upon whicl
The hemp would average fifteen feet il
heghth. One popularity in the growth o
this species, which will prove invaluable t.
our hemp producers in Missouri, is tn
longer period which it requires in comm!
TO maturity, giving the farmer the power Il
regulate the harvesting TO suit himself
Altogether, l am convinced that it will
prove an eminent acquisition 10 both tn
grower and consumer of hemp. Ii is TO b
regretted that the seed this year, have bee
monopolised by single house in Louis

Mr.. Mason and the TIE Duems.

The Washington Union comments on the
story that Mr.. Mason, our Minister at Par
is, attended at the Nctre Dame, full rugged
in diplomatic toggerey, 10 listen 10 the TIE
Deuins in honor of the fall OF Sebastcpol, in
the following words:
We are not dispo ed to credit the state.
ment, which we see in some Of the newspa-
pers, that Mr.. Mason. orr worthy ard ac-
compli>hed minister TO France, was in at
tendance in his representative capacity AT
the late TIE Deum at Notre Dame, in Paris
in honor of the fall oil Sebastopol. As the
representative Of a peutral power. it seems
to us impossible that Mr.. Mason could have
overlooked the Improperly of such an ACT
so far as 10 compromt his government by
his attendance III his representative capaci.
ty. II is hardly TO be supposed that he vii
allow the illusions 10 the occurrence in the
public prints 10 pass without explanation
and, therefore, we shall assume either thai
the statement OF his attendance is unioundet
or that he has a plausible explanation fol
whatever course he deemed ii proper to pur
sue.
This looks very much as though, if the
story should be true, Mr.. Mason will soor
have TO sing TIE Deum in honor Of his own
fall as Minister at Paris.
