Eating lilssionary.--The. war in New
Zealand goes on with increased ferocity
Gen. Cameron acting on the defensive.
The last feat of these pet:ed Meories
was to eat an English missionary-in-
cited thereto, as Mr.. Whalley firmly be-
lieves, by the Jesuits, who are supposed
to sideewith the natives, and who escape
being eaten. The missionary said lis
prayers. and submitted firmly to his
martyrdom, after which he was eaten
up to the last morsel, beginning with his
eyes, and his brains. AS most of the
New Zealand missionaries have been ca
ger land spectators, and have done as
much az least as any other class to bring
on the present difficulties, there may be
something of retribution in this mar
tyrdom. But the result will justify the
cynical speech of Mr. Roebuck. who
said that the determination of all these
races, when they came in contact with
Englishmen, was only question of
time, and could not be prevented, and
ought not to be regretted. = London Cor.

Banks are to be Immediately established
in Mobile and Montgomery. In Mo-
bile, as well as the other southern cities,
President Johnson's amnesty proclama-
ton excited much interest and Discus
sion.
New York June 17.-Tribune's spec

ed his regrets that the conspirators were
not tried before a civil tribunal
Orders for the arrest of Ben Wood
were telegraphed from Washington.
Times special says: Among the ar-
plications for pardon is that of Robert
E. Lee and A. I'll. Stephens.
MIR. Stephens enters at length into
apology or vindication, and among 9th
er reasons for his course, cites the fact
that the Tribune advocated the rights of
the southern people to independence,
and that he was led to believe it would
be accorded them without war.

blowing cut Of Kerosene lamps. Til

Blowing cut of Kerosene Lamps. The
danger of blowing out kerosene or car.
bon oil lamps from the top, is greater
than people generally suppose. There
are several instances on record, it is
said, where lives have been lost by the
explosion OF. lamps from this practice.
The following explanation of the causes
that produce the explosion are worth
considering and hecding;;
/. The oil in the lamp Is generally
low, leaving more roomlf for gas. llao e
2. The gas is very infammable, and
will always explode when ignited. an
g.. In blowing down it ignites the
gas.
The inference is, lamp should never
be blown out from the top. The wick
may not perfectly fill the tube, and the
flame may go down when the gas
comesup !AS 9a .ANAa .ETI0

Cabbages. --One of the greatest diff

lis the .ravages of the cTlt-worm. W.
have completely outwitted them for two

manner. We take pieces ofnewspapel
six inches square, tear slit in one side
to the center and insert the plant. Bring
the slit edges together, and place little
earth ora pebble on the corners, and
the work is done. A platform of paper
lis formed around the plant through
which the worm can not penetrate. We
ibid not lose more than two or three
plants from that cause the last two years.
We always thinkcit a great point gained
when an effectual safeguard can be OBJ
tanned against the ravages of insects, and
we regard this as one of the discoveries

AGRICULTURAL.

Hops.
The period of the year has arrived
when attention is again directed TO the
promise OF the growing crop of hops.
The ravages of insects and disease In
every hop-produci ng country last year,
and the increasing consumption of malt
liquors, have conspired to reduce the
stocks on hand in the hop markets of
the world below the figures of any for
mer year since hop-growing attained any
thing like its present proportions; COLI
sequently, peculiar interest attaches to
the condition of the crop of 1865.
1t is found that the winter has dealt
more uDkindly with the roots than had
been expected, for growers had reason
70 hope that the abundant SHOWS
would have protected the plants from
''winter-killing An unusual num-
Der of dead hills are discovered, but
this is attributable rather to exhaustion
from lice and premature picking than
to the severity of the temperature
during the winter Taken altogether,
the appearance of the yards thus far, it is
not encouraging. In addition TO dead
hills the vines In most places appear
spindliDg and feeble. The cold nights
which prevailed early in the month did
not favor rapid or healthy develop
ment of the plants, but under the more
genial temperature which now prevails,
they promise better progress. In New
England the appearances are even less
favorable than in this state. Reasoning
from the experience in SchOharie cOun-
ty where the lice abounded in 1863, and
the result was very light crop of good
hops in 1864, it is fair to expect that
the large growth of Madison and Onei-
Ga of last year, badly infested as the
followed this year with diminished
crop of improved quality. .N

The Newly Discovered Edmond Pear.
The Country Gentleman thus alludes
to new pear which has lately been IN
troduced by the Pathological princes at
Rochester, n. Y:
'.Of all the new varieties that have
been discovered or introduced of late
years, we have met with none that ex.
eeeds in delicious quality and fine melt
ing texture, the Edmonds Its flavor is
combined delicacy and rich
ness, with flavor that is hard TO de-
scribe. Its good size and the free growth
of the tree adds to its value. 1t was
discovered near Rochester, and intro
duced by Ellwagner IL Barry, who, I'M
like many propagators that over-praise
and sell at extravagant prices, have in
their habitual caution against landing
new things, hardly done It full justice.
We draw this conclusion from speci-
mems which they have kindly:furnished.' ?

The character Of the court generally

"One of the most eminent lawyers of

nizcd. Such = Course Of training can-
Tot fail to beuefit Judge Holt and his

While nobody doubts that most Of
these prisoners are guilty, nobody can
Say they are having fair and impair

Of the War Department. The court
consisting Of military men, it is acting
ON the military principle Of strict cbe
dience to orders, or to the presumed
will of military super,ors. It is. no
doubt, sound military tactics to deliver
all your own fire, and to silence as
,nuch as yop can the fire of your ad-

Is no argument at all. A feeling O,
sympathy for TIE freedmen is natural
and proper, but the mai .t.inence Of
governmental principles is paramount
to all such considerations. If the Gov
ernment has the power to make q new
class OF electors in Virginia, it has the
same power II New York. If it can
en'rarchlse the men who were recently
slaves, 1t can also enfranchise those of
the same color ia this State who are
de'arred by the property qualification.
The principle Of Legitimate state rights
Is involved in this question. 1t does
not follow that because the Govern
me"t and the loyal people deny the
right OF a State or of a body, Of States,
to sunder the Union, that States have
no sovereign rights at all. Admit the
authority of the Governm ent to regu-
late questi ms Of franchise, and the
States at once lose their inlentity-
their functions are swallowed up by

And whcn the day done

Looks down on the tranquil deep,
She sadly smiles on the bloody plain,
Where a thousand warriors sleep.

And prepare for the struggle with death.
