WHOLE POTATOES VS.. EYES FOR SEED.-An
English paper the Ipswich Express, gives the
result Of an experiment lately made to ascertain
what would be the difference in yield where whole
potatoes used or the eyes alone, and reports
thus:-''A trial has been made i'll the vicarage
garden Coggshall, of potato eyes against whole
potatoes, on perfectly equal terms, of each
side by side-a certain number of whole potatoes
were sown yard apart, the eyes of the same
number of potatoes, of the same sort were sown at
the usual distanee-equal taken, in all respects
that the trial might be fair. The result, as shown
few weeks back, was that the whole potatoes
produced in weight more potatoes, but the excess
of weight was just equal to the weight of potatoes
from which the eyes had been taken which potatoes
had gone into the kitchen for dressing; 50 that as
far as this experiment goes nothing is gaineI in
sowing whole potatoes

for sse to Others. in day two Frori the proef

is said in the chapter on Agriculture and Indus

Southern States. II ever there has been SO thor

which the sbotonists of Old and New England are
prone to favor the world, have failed to see it
We wish every one Of them was obliged to read
it.
By the way, We may state in this connection the
opinion of Gov. Swain who has devoted more aten:
ton than any one in the State to its History,-of
the character of the Forthcoming volumn. Gov
Swain examined the work with care in the manu-
script, and expresses the opinion tina: it exhibits
range and extent of information, and careful ex
animation Of the evidence in relation to controvert.

from even his extraordinary opportunities and abi

The YAuPoN TEA.-It is a singular coincidence
that yesterday received from two different
and distant sources interesting accounts of the Yau
pom tree of Eastern North Carolina. both identify.
ing it with the Iler Parnguayensis Nate plant of
Brazil, plant of great commercial value there. but
which has been suffered like too many other valua-
BILE things, to waste its sweetness on the desert
air" in North Carolina.
In the morning of yesterday the Raleigh Standard
brought a very well written article from H. G.
(Henry E. Colton) Of Marlborough, who, noticing
a statement that lone object Of the Paraguay expe-
dtion is to introduce into the country the Mate or
Paraguay Tea, in other words the prepared leaf Of
the ILer Parnguensis" proceeds to show. he does
most conclusvely, that it is Identical with the Yo
a,on Of our State.
In the afternoon Of yesterday we received the I'd
volume of DR.. HAWKES. History of North Carroll
ma, where, in the chapter on Agricultural and IN
dustrial Arts" pages 219-2O-2l, is the same ev.
dence, which, however, DR.. Hawks found in valu-
BILE work, recently published, entitled Brazil and
the Brazlians," by the Rev. DR.. Kidder and the
Rev. Mr. Fletcher. Mr.. Cotton obtained most Of
his facts from the journal Of Commerce. Of 1885, to
which paper it was evidently furnished by one Of
the authors of Brazil and the Brazilians."
DR.. Hawks was perfectly familiar with the plant
and the tea during his early life in the Eastern part
OF the State; and Mr. Cotton became SO during his
residence in Edenton few years ago. and both arc
aware Of the high estimation in which the Yanpon,

1t was here that saw the nobest looking Indian
girl that eye ever beheld Her dress consisted of
piece of brown cotton cloth, wrapped around her
loins and hanging to the knee. On her head she
wore her native war plume. She was tall. straight
as an arrow. and had free wild Indian look, that
was quite taking. (Some Of her tribe was given to
another kind of taking, which required ak our
watchfulness to prevent) She appeared to be about
10 years of age, and was the wife Of young chief
about 20 years old. It interesting to see with
what respect she waited on him. Her example
would be cdfyng to the wives Of more civilized life
But it was amusing to with what lordly indfer-
ence the young savage regarded her attentions.

The SANDSTONE OF NORTH CARoL1NA.-The old
North State has long been known to be rich in her
minerals; but the development of these natural re-

valuable medicinal properties not to be found in the

not been appreciated. And here, along our rail
