ASSESSING TIE PosrNAsTERs-The following.

[PRTArE.
TO the Postmaster Of:
Dear Sir:-At private consultation of the
leading democrats Of the Union, held in this
city immediately upon the adjournment Of
the Cincinnati Convention, it was recommend
ed that each Postmaster be requested to con-
tribute an amount proportionate to the re-
ceipts of their respective offices. Upon ex-
aiming the returns of the Post Office De-
partment it is found that your proportion
will be three dollars, which you will confer
favor by reWitting by return of mail.
The principal Object in making these col
lections is to throw into the doubtful States
an immense quantity of speeches aud docu-
ments in favor of the policy of the democrat
ic party, and also to assist in defraying the
expenses of speakers who will be employed
during the coming canvass. You will there
fore perceive that every Postmaster who
wishes for continuance of his official posi-
tion will find it to his interest to use every
effort to bring about SO desirable a result.
Postmasters ale appealed to because they
are considered the representatives of the
party in their respective localities, and being
the recipients of the patronage of the ad-
ministration it is but Just that they should
comply with its demands.
Please send us the name of some reliable
leading democrat in your town whom We
can confer with hereafter. Address

How THE OLD CHIEF WAS AsToNIsREp

had the old MIME, with whose power
you are somewhat acquainted. / had

could shoot all day without reloading.
which made an illustration necessary.
They were oil anxious to see il set in
notion and placed the door of our
tent. which was part ola cowskin stretch
ed on hoop. at a distance Of sixty or
seventy yards, with bulls eye in the
centre. The whole village bad assem-
b!ed, and the Governor took his position
and went off--oue! two! three. four! ave!
sikh then stepped up and told him
that was enough, presumed; and while
the old Chef twas assuring him that
they were sll convinced. and it was a
pity to waste any moro ammunition. the
Governor was slipping the empty cylinder
off and another one on, with six charges
more, without their observing what be
was doing-he offered TO proceed, but
all were satisfied that his gun would
shoot all day without stopping. and this

Chinese POfatOe.

This vegela bic, SO much diseased,
and which was announced to the world
by the French Institute at Paris under
the name of DioscorSa Batatas. is on
exhibition from various contributors, at
the fair of the American Institute at the
.Crystal Palace.
The roots are long and Of pale rus
set color; the flesh being Of the pufest
white. They are very large. and weigh
from Ia TO 2S ounces--the growth of
single season.
As number of persons have been cui.
livating this plant during the past sum.
msr, we shall soon be able to decide
whether il is as valuable as has been rep-
resented. A large cultivstor writes 10
US that "this FOOT is destined to reyolu-
tionize the alimentary basis Of our coun.
try"
VIM. r Prince; of Flushing. N. Y, has
5000 plants of this esculent under cul:
livation, and enter;ains very sanguine
views respecting its prospective impor.
tance in the United States. He INSERTS:
lst. That the Dioscorea Batatas is per-
fectly hardy during our severest winters.
I'd. That it is more nutritious than any
other esculeut we cultivate. Sd. That
its culture is so easy and simple, and its
product SO great, that it can be afforded
incomparably cheaper than ant other hu-
tritious vegetable. il having produced in
France at the rate of above 800 bushels
to The acre. 4th. That the combination
Of every useful property renders it the
greatest vegetable boon ever giaiited by
God to man. and that its introduc ton TO
our country is even more important than
that of cotton. and that in twenty years
|our national statistics will report the
value Of the annual crop as greater than
the COTTON crop. e7cci
Such reliance is placed upon this root
in the Chinese empire, that, according to
Mr.. Prince, one, half the population

rapidly. The .'Reveu Horticole," pub
lished under the direction of the French
Institute, devotes twenty poges to this
subject, concluding as follows:

TALENT.

TALENT.
So much is said about the talents Of
such aud such persons. that few tho'ts
upon this subject, will not perhaps be a.
miss. 1t seems to me that many who
are called talented. do not really deserve
the name.
l. These noisy hsrranguers. who make
so much music about bor rooms, streets.
aud other places where they can obtain
hearing. are not always talented. Gene
orally. persons Of this stamp. have far
more impudence than talent. The truly
talented are not likely to be heard in such:
places.
2. Fluent speakers are not always tai
ented. A great many fippant orators
are oil surface. Words are numerous,
bu. thought is almos, as scarce as snow
storms in July.
3. Those who can make large quota
tions from the Bible and other books. are
not always talented. Some who can
quote almost entire volumes verbatim.
cannot when confined TO their own re-
sources. write or speak passably, even
upon a plain subject.
Who then arc the talented? answer
those who possess an extensive range of
useful information; those who can bring
out important ideas by the exercise Of
their own brains; those who can endure
close and continued mental effort; those
who can grasp and e.ucidate deep SUBJ
jee.s; those who can carry out great and
complex transactions.
Few however. perhaps none, are dis
tinguished in all Of those sciences which
are now cultivated. The field is so wide.
and human life is so short. that the
strongest intellects cannot accomplish SO
much. In nparlicuiar departments of SCI
ence, the talented generally gain thei'
celebrity. Some are distinguished !o'
their legal. some Tor their medical. some
for their theological talents. Some are
distinguished as philosophers. some a.
liuguists. some ss historians. some as
msthematicians. some as statesmen
some as speakers, some as writers.
We must not suppose that those whit
cannot master some sciences. are desti-
tute Of talent. Such persons may excel
in other brsnches. Some who are poo
speakers, may be eminent as writers
Some who cannot succeed 10 maihemat
les, may be distinguished as historians
and linguists. Some who fail in othe
branches, may excel as mathematicians
Occasionally ws find persons who lik'
Sir William Jones, are eminent in man,
sciences. But these favored geniuse
are few. Generally, those who strive t,
become eminen. in many things. becom'
eminent in nothing. w.

This fruit was first discovered on this
island. according to tradition, which we
had from the family of Green. A man
named Green kept an inn, which stood
nearly where the house OF Joseph |. Bal.

called the East Road. This inn, In The
early times of the colony. was CON-

apple was found; among the natural fruit
and soon became we'll known for its su-
periority. and vas called Green's Inn
Apple, by which name it continued to be
called; until by q slight variation In
pronunciation the vulgar name of Green
ing Apple was substituted. This fruit
has ever since gone by the name of
Greening Apple. and wherever il is pro-
duced. out Of the State Of Rhode Island.

The keeping qualities of this apple
depends upon the locality. soil, and eIi-
