say- The cultivation of cotton has
commenced at the Sandwich Islands,
with every prospect Of success. One
planter has cleared and planted two
hundred a. d fifty acres. and employs
six hundred laborers, chiefly Chinese
coolies, who are brought over In con-
siderable numbers. Another source
of wealth has been opened up in the
Island. The valleys which divide the
mountains are discovered to be ad-
mi-ably suited for the cultivation Of
coffee--a crop of which is one OF the
most profitable that can be produced,
whether it is retained for home con.
sumption or treated for export.

POSTAGE STAMPs.-It is not gen.
orally known that all the u. S. post
age stamps in circulation at the COM
mencement of the war, were called
in and new issue substituted. In
the loyal States where there was no
interruption in the mails, they were
invariably returned and the new pat
tern obtained in their stead. In the
Southern States this could not be
done and u large amount of the old
issue remain. We are informed that
letters stamped with the old stamp
and mailed are sent to the dead letter
Office at Washington, and teel salts
fled that few persons are aware OF
the fact. The difference between
the old and new issue is, that in the
old the head of Washington is in a
circle, and in the new a square. The
new is lighter color than the old,
and the figure 3 is twice printed
above the head of Washington. and
there are no figures on the old.

The "KING" PiCNIC.-On Thurs
day we attended the Picnic at Cas-
Ties and are forced to acknowledge
that, though always proud of our
Parish and fully aware of the num-
Der Of beauties we could boast, never
before have we seen SO many bellies
in q similar assemblage. The gen.
tlemen are well behaved at all such
places, but who ever before saw such
a gathering where there was abso-
lntely nothing to mar the pleasure of
single individual nH a#
The candidates were there in full
force and were universally agreea-
ble. We are sorry that we can't
vote for all of them at the coming
fall election. Jf aal
Ali how our heart throbbed be-
"a
meath our waistcoat, and how nat
ural it came to as that beating Of
time to the music of the old banj II"
We went back to the days when aoe
were young folks and went to the
picnics with our sweethearts Don't
laugh at us for being old--our heart
is az young to-day as twenty years
agonei! Don't forget us at the next,
tits not often we enjoy such scenes
as that Of Thursday. ya8roaa
We understand that in a few
weeks another OF these charming
heart-expanding affairs will come off
in the same neighborhood. The fol-
lowing " Kings" were made on yes
terday for that occasion: .s1i5

N. Birmingham, I'll. V. Babin, F.

All who participated in the en-
joyments of the festive occasion to
which we have alluded, are profuse
in their praises Of Mr.. FL. A. CASTLE,
for his kindly efforts in ministering
to the pleasures and comforts Of
everybody. The free use of his
sugar-house was generously given,
and his general supervision OF affairs
was such as to give the utmost salts
faction and elicit the most unbounded
Acknowledgements.

The subject of regulating the layn
of apprenticeship is being conside,1.'N
by the New York Convention of
Trades Societies, now in session at
Albany. This is one Of the most i'm
portant matters that could occupy the
attention of such q body, and might
be made to result far more beneficial
~ to mechanics and the people gen
orally than wrangling over questions&
OF strikes and other matters which the
laws OF demand and supply will set
tie. C7i-4g to the faulty system of /
apprenticeship in this country, it isl
well nigh general complaint that the
number of good workmen in nearlvl
every branch Of industry is growing
less every year 1t is too often tho
case that young lads go to an estab,
hshment for year or SO, and havi,ia

or, what is quite as bad, arbitrarilI
leave their unlearned trades haltC,
dozen times before arriving at a (.
pecSable proficiency or q propex age
and turn out incompetent, of course,
at last. This is not only detrimental
to themselves, but to the community
and discredits the trades for unskilfuI
ness. The remedy for this great evi
is in the legal establishment Of
liberal system of apprenticeship, a
