A Coon SUGGESTION The Providence Journal
in commenting upon the proposition now before
Congress to raise 5000 volunteers to commence
a war of determination upon the Indian tribes,
at the expense of millions Of dollars, suggests
that q few hundred thousand dollars expended
in blankets, Seeds agricultural implements, and
other useful articles, and distributed among the
Indians by honest agents, would accomplish
more that millions spent in hostile operations.
The Journal prefers for this work, half dozen
men whom it could select from the Friends
Yearly Meeting, properly supported, to the
best army, commanded by the best generals,
that were ever armed against the poor Indians

ness of the work, and the response of the artist
that it must be dry before it could go on, he
had ventured to put the canvas before the fire.
Washington with great anger dismissed him ,and
told him not to show his face again. But the
next day, after Stuart had arrived and was pre-
pairing to work, Washington rang the bell for
Sam who came, ,abashedand trembling. The Pres
ident drew new silver watch from bis pocket,
and said
Come here, Sam. Take this watch, and

SECOND TABLE" CONSEQUENCE


King Kamehameha, the late Majesty of the
Sandwich Islands, has sought that undiscovered
country, from whose bourne no traveller returns.
Prince Alexander Liholiho has, in the most
obligng manner, assumed the royal purple I,
and thereby hangs tale. The defunct Majesty
of Hawaii was friendly to annexation, is is said,
but the living Majesty has no such notions. He
has travelled, and even been in the United States,
and, having been treated as colored person at
our principal hotels, he has no idea of degrading
himself and his countrymen to the station and
position of negroes. Annexation is thereby
practically dead and gone to the tomb of the
ancient Kamehameha. What important results
sometimes happen from slight causes If the
copper-coored prince had, when in the United
States, been allowed to come to the first table,
and to travel in the same railroad cars with
white people, coveted empire might have been
added to the extensive area of freedom which
fllibuster Gberalists think will never be wide
enough But aristocratic publicans, who kept
big hotels, were permitted to blight the pros
poets of nation, and Prince Liholio, the slight.
ed " niger" now manifests his revenge by set
ting his regal heel on the annexation project
and squashing out" the beautiful scheme
Alas what great events sometimes depend Or
trivial causes; ; and who is there that after
calmly scanning the strange chapter of event
that has deprived the United States of q beauti
full empire, will fail to exclaim-
The color of fate is variable

Anon It's dark, dusky, with fear oerspread,

WASHINGTON AND SAM.-When Stuart was
painting General Washington's portrait, he was
rallied one day by the General for his slow work
The painter protested that the picture could not
advance until the canvas was dry,a land that there
must be some delay. Upon arriving the next
morning, Stuart turned his canvas, and discov-

AFoTHER MAT WARD AFFAIR.--W g learn
from gentleman who was an eyewitness,
the following particulars of most horrible
and tragical affair that occurred at Pontotoc
Miss, on Monday last. 1t appears that
Mr.. Brown, the principal of the male .aca,
DENY at Pontotoe, had punished one OIL
his pupils about week since. A brother
of the boy that was whipped, by the name
of Wray, made threats against Mr.. Brown
for the aforesaid punishment, to which but
little attention was paid. On Monday
young Wray, youth of some seventeen
or eighteen years old, took a position
where Mr.. Brown would pass on his wa.
home from school. and waited until h
came along, when Wray attacked him.

RELIGIOUS INToLERANcE.-The London
correspondence of the Tribune gives an in
stance Of the intolerant spirit which char
acterizes the bigots holding power in Eu-
rope. In l84S the Austrian Government
passed law permitting its subjects to
change their religion at pleasure; but, as il
to illustrate and prove that the govern
ment of Francis Joseph is as bigoted in
religious as it is false-h hearted in political
affairs, it has seized and imprisoned man
named John Borinsky. for becoming a
convert from Popery to Professionalism
Borinsky belonged to the Order Of the
Monks of Mercy, was chief physician in
the Convent of that order in Prague, Bo'
hemia, and embraced the Protestant faith
on the 18th of January last. On his re-
turn into Austria, he was thrown into
prison by the order of the government
Proving steadfast to his new faith annie
many sufferings, he has been declared
lunatic and confined in a dungeon wit
the issue. Austria is worthy ally of
spiritual despot who aspires to dictate tn
religious opinions of the world and EN-
ploys foreign bayonets to supporthis ten
poral domination.

A word TO Farmers.

Wheat harvest is now at hand ; and the
most delightful prospect of abundant crops
greet the eye in every section Of our State.
Farmers cut your wheat early; cut it as
soon as the grain is well out of the milky
state whilst the straw is comparatively
green. Wheat, like corn, after it arriN eS
at a certain degree OF maturity, is perfected
by the uourishment derived from the straw,
or stock, and in as great degree when cut,
as when still uncut. 1t has been thorough
ily ascertained by careful experiments and
observations, that wheat cut in this con-
dition makes fairer -four, weighs more to
the bushel, and yields less bran, or husk.
than when it DIS until entirely ripe. In
England, particularly, where wet weather
$50 often interieres with the harvest, this
alo Is now universally adopted except foI
grain intended to be used for seeding. The
write, ur thIs article had small eXper1'
ence of this important fact few years ago,
which satisfied him fully on his subject
| had an acre and a quarter of very rich
ground which l wish to.get in grass. II
was put down in wheat, and sown with
timothy. The wheat was very rank, and
the weather being wet it lodged badly
Caring more for the grsss than the wheat
| started man at cutting it, the straw be
ing perfectly green, and the grain still in {
half milky state He was directed to tx
it in very small sheaves, so that the straw
would cure. Several wheat growers, anC
the man who cut it, all agreed that the ow
ner, as well as his crop, must be quite green
However, it was cured, and CAREFUL,
stacked.
Nearly all the wheat of the neighbor
hood that year was seriously injured b.
rust the grain shriveled and imperfect
!. and very light. When my small crop wa
thrashed the straw was as green as earl
;, cut and we'll cured hay. Bnt the threshe
said the wheat was the best he had thresh
ed that season. [ had it measured an
E weighed, but do not know distinctly recol
!, Ilect the particulars. But the miller agree
! with the thresher--it was the best whes
, that came to his mill during that season
The -four was good, and the bread was ia'
and sweet-so all parties concerned agree
: that green farmers sometimes make usell
q experiments.
AS we are now threatened with We
harvest, no time should be lost in cuttln
wheat the earliest moment it is safe to d
l so and my experiment satisfied me th
it is safe and profitable to cut it muc
earlier than is usual among our Farmers

RAISING COFFEE IN New IoRK.-A resi-
dent on Long Island, j. G. KoUGHs, ESQ,
writes to the New York Times that he has
succeeded in raising a couple of rows OF
the best quality of Java coffee from the i'm
ported berry. lie sowed the dry berry III
drills, having first soaked them in ashes
and water for an hour. When the plants
were an inch above the surface he stuck s
row Of oak scrags for them to climb on
Favored by alternate heat and rains, they
have come on finely, and the berries ait
nearly ready to be gathered.
AS Long Island aas about the same lati
ttude as the Western ReseWs, would it no
he wise for some of our farmers to try th
experiment The true way to ascertain
what our country is capable of producing
is to try. Time was when it was suppose
the only way to enjoy the luxury OF swcc
potatoes, was to buy them from the Soath
ern States. Now there are hundreds o
farmers in this county who raise them 10
market and find them profitable crop
If an article of such general, NOT TO sa,
universal, consumption as Coffee can b
raised here instead of being dependent o
foreign countries, we should have take
another step in the progress Of our ln@e
