a New southern staple.

A new plant has been added to the re-
sources of our tropical and semi-tropioal
regions new textile, which will furnish
the world with clothing and the means of
knowledge. We have seen, within a few
days, long skeins of aootton-like fibre, cot
ton-like in whiteness, softness and fneness,
but much stronger. in the State of Vera
Cruz, Mexico, where it has been cultivated
for FIVE years by Belgian naturalist and
botanist, who went there to pursue his ia
vorite studies and occupations in a soil and
climate which favor them.
The plant, called the ramie, is native
of Java, was introduced thence into Jardin
des Plantes, at Paris, by some French sa-
van, in 1914 was regarded then as sim
ply exhibiting the wonderful advantages Of
the tropics, being toe delicate for open air
culture in cold climates. But having been
planted and tried in warmer climates than
that of France, yet not so equatorial as
that of Java, it has been found to do as
well in them.
1t is due to NJ. Benito Roezl, formerly
chief of the Horticultural Institute, Bel
gium, now OF Santocomapram, San Andres
Tustla, State of Vera Cruz, Mexico, that
we can now pronounce il naturalized
plant of this continent, and to his present
visit to this city will speedily owe its in
PRODUCTION into the field culture of the
Gulf States, to which it will permanently
pertain.
The ramie Tits Savanese name) is a
plant like hemp, contains in its stalk the
fibre for which it is raised. and which is
grown like the sugar-cane, from being
planted in length or from its stubble; with
this advantage over the stubble of the cane,
that each succeeding year it grows better.
aud that in Cuba and Lower Mexico it will
furnish five, and here at least three cut
tings in the year.
By new progress and some simple ma
chinery invented by Mr.. R., the lint can
be prepared from the stalks, taken fresh
from the ground, in twenty-four hours
We all know that months of labor and the
entire discoloring of the fibre follows the
treatment of the ordinary progress of fax
and hemp, while the ramie comes out white,
clear, pure, and unhurt.
Eight hundred pounds to the acre is to
be expected from each cutting Of full growth
in fair land. The culture is similar to that
Of cane but IS the plant, when once sci
is hard to eradicate, grows vigorously, and
defes the influence of grass or rival plants
cultivation is only needed to promote Its
growth. When ripe, it should be cut but
neglect to do this causes no special damage
so that it may wait days or weeks the viii
of the free republicans Of Mexico and the
Union. The fibre is long, fine, and strong
the plant easy to raise, and hardy in g
Southern latitutude its preparation fOI
market is simple and cheap in cost. I'm
| der these circumstances, we may safely
pronounce that it will at an early day take
high rank among our staples.-N o. Pic

Let it be remembered that while the peo-
pie of Tennessee are groaniug under taxa
tion, the Radical Legislature voted itself
pay in gold, OF forty per cent premium
upon the currency that the people are com
PEELED to use in their business transactions.
Let it be remembered that nearly one
half of the school fund in the custody of
the State government is still unaecOunted
for, and that the air is black with surmises
that it is gone for good. Fs
Let it be known that, notwithstanding
the impoverished condition of the people
of the State, taxes are FIVE times heavier
than In 1860, and the government is bor-
rowing from week to week to meet our cur
rent demands, with the July interest loom
ing up wholly unproyided for and Ten
nessee bonds at sixty-three cents on the
dollar.
Let it be borne 10 mind that every loyal
militiaman enrolled, viii increase the tax

ems this measure to the full extent Of its
power Union and Dispatch.

GREAT ExPECTATIoNs.-The Presidents
hopes are shown by the National hatelzigers-
Ger in aIeading editorial. 1t says the re-
suit in Connecticut indicates a reaction
against the Radicals which viii carry New
York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Tennes-
see. and Oregon that these States, with
Con lecticutt, Delaware, Maryland and Ken
tucky, will give the Conservatives one hun
dred and six votes in the next electoral col
lege at least, against 14l for the Radicals.
1t thinks California, Nevada, Nebraska,
New Hampshire and possibly Indiena, may
also be carried against the Radicals by ju-
dicious management, which would give
the next-PresidencY to the Conservatives,
even if the Southern States are not allowed
to vote.

ToMAToEs A PRoTECTIoE AeAINsT Bo-
EERs.-H. J. Foster, of Quincy, Mass, in
forms the Nes0 England Farmer, that he
has an apple orchard which has been badly
infested by the borer. Two rthree years
ago while going over the orchard IN the
fall. and removing from ten to fifteen young
borers from most Of the trees, be noticed
that invariably there were no signs OF
their work to be discovered wherever a
chance plant of the tomato had sprung up
1 from seed in soil or manure. Acting on
this discovery, he has since planted toma-
toes extensively about his apple and ounce
/ trees, as the beetle which deposits her
] eggs during the summer months upon the
/ bark Of the tree near the ground, shuns
every. tree near which 8 tomato plant Is
! growing.

TAKE HIM OUr.-A scrub-headed boy
having been brought before the court as a
witness, the following collOquy ensued:
"Where do you live ?'' asked the Judge.
Live with my mother"
Where does your mother live %
'.She lives with my father.P
"Were does he live % asked the Judge,
getting very red, as an audible snicker goes
round the room.
'They live at home"
"Where in thunder is their home % rOars
the judge.
.That's where I'm FROM" says the boy
sticking his tongue in corner OF his
cheek, and slowly closing one eye on the
Judge.
"Here Mr.. Constable" :" saids the court
..take the witness out and tell him to travel;
ne evidently does not undersiaDd the IA
ture Of an oath"
..You would think different" says the
bov. going toward the doorway, eff was

CoNFisCATIoN.-W find in the Bali-
more AMERICAN, Radical paper Of ex-
treme views, the following remarks upon
the subject Of confoation, which are cred
liable to such journal:
"If Mr.. Stevens expects support for his
measures of confscation Of the private
property of Southern rebels, either in Con-
gress or with the public, We think he
will soon discover himself to be greatly mis-
taken. We do not believe, however, that
he has made this mistake. He seems
to appreciate his position very justly. The
consciousness he shows ofhis inability to ac-
copplish hispurpose almost relieves him
of responsibility for the attempt, and the
humor with which he presents himself
and the President, unsupported by Con
gress or the public sentiment, as alone Ia
boring in and responsible for his great
work, will, we trust, disarm the sentiment
/ Of the most sensitive of his opponents" D."
