The reduction Of the horse tax has long beer
called for by the common people, md it Is n very
popular measure. Ii was amusing to see how the
Ministers changed their base, from strong oppo.
sition TO n united support of the measure. Last
session. when they controlled the House, every
proposition of the kind was voted down instanter,
and a member was hardly allowed to open hi:
mouth on the subject. But times change.
The Ministers are still governed by the same
narrOw-minded policy which has - long chauc-
terized them. In every bill presented by them in
which public notice Is required IL be given, they
seek to require by law that such notices be in
serted only in the Gazette and Au Okoa, the cir
~culation of which papers Is not one-third that of
the Independent papers. All persons should be
allowed To advertise in such papers rs they choose.

foreign line of steamers was unprecedented anu un-
wise.
A word as to the action of the ministry in this
matter . some of the cabinet have deemed it their
duty instead of favoring q fair discussion of this mat
ter ON its own merits, to assume the part of log roll
ing agents of the private interests involved, they
/ have with the usual tendency Of small minds failed to
see ANYTHING but interested motives in the opponents
of this measure. and have publicly accused them OF
such. The spectacle of cabinet ministers entering
into. and with, the lobbying schemes of private inter-
ests. is not a pleasant one. A dignifed exposition of
their views before the Assembly and a willingness to
leave the decision of the Representatives of the peo-
pie most interested would have been a better one.
The sacrifices which they are willing to make for
the success of this measure excite great surprise, they
opposed the reduction of the public revenue SlO,UUO
a year on the horse tax question, till in some way the
passage of the subsidy seemed to hang upon it, when
10 they yield to the reduction, that their pet scheme
may not be prejudiced. This seems to be the only
rational Interpretation of their conduct No wonder
the Representatives wish to curtail the ministerial
salaries, that men of less extravagant public and pri-
waite tastes may take their places
That steam communication between these islands
and San Francisco is assured to us is not doubted,
and thai it will increase in accordance with well
known laws is believed that pontlcaI ana CONNER
cial considerations, solely in the interest of Califor-
mia, led to its establishment is a fact, and that it win
succeed with all its results may be held certain but
that this people should pay for it is not so manifest.

The editor of the Holly Springs Report
er has been shown specimen of the "rs-
ME plant the new substitute for cotton.
The fibre is described as of 6ne glossy
white, of even texture and of great strength.
It can be used separately in the manufac-
ture of cloth, OF may be combined with
silk or wool. The plant itself, hardy and
vigorous, is not affected by long periods of
rain, and stands dry weather equally well
with cotton. It has been grown with sue
cess in Mexico, where the rainy seasons
are much longer than in the Southern
States. 1t makes two crops per year, and
yields from four to eight hundred pounds
per acre. 1t bears no seed. but is grown
from the roots and ratoons only. After the
land is once stocked, the planting is good
for number of years. The cultivation OF
this plant requires less labor than that OF
cotton, and the fibre commands in market
better price, having been sold in Liver
pool at sixty Eve cents per pound. Parties
who have cultivated the ramie plant state
that they are highly pleased with their ex-
pertinent, and believe the culture to be a
great acquisition to the country. 1t is at
least worth a trial.

To MEASURE AN ACRE We fnd The

To MEASURE AN ACRE We find the fol-
lowing going the rounds. It may be use
full to some of our readers:
Land, 3o4 square yards make one
square rod i; 40 square rods make one
square rood square roods acre $40
acres, square mile +; 4 $40 square yards
or I6O rods, makes one acre In measu-
ring an acre by yards, the usual practice is
to trace off 70 yards in length and 70 yards
in width. This in a rough way. may be
considered near enough for practical pur-
poses but as 70 yards either way make 4,
900 square yards, it exceeds one acre by 60
yards. To determine an accurate acre il
may be measured 10 yards in length by
80 II in width The same result may be
arrived at by measuring 22O feet in length,
and $50 in width, or by measuring 733
yards in length by 66 yards 10 width

sociability to the Farmers.

Naturally the farmer is an unselfsh man.
His labors are mostly out of doors. His
calling takes him much abroad, and ena
bles him to mingle considerably with the
world. Yet looking at tie very proportion
of the population embraced in his pursuits
and the important influence exercised BY
it over all our public affairs, it is a subject
of common remark, even by agricultural
lists themselves. that their social intercourse
should be so much restricted. There is no
other cause for this seclusiveness on the
part of farmers that we can see than the
'Greading in the footsteps Of their predeoes-
sors." Be this "a it may, there are other
causes operating which appear to be chang
ing this for the better. Country fairs,
bringing agriculturalists together from dis
tricts sufficiently near to each other to make
mountaineering pleasant and lasting, and
putting them in friendly emulation in mat
ters and things involving their agrestic
skill and success. are clearly working to
form more close Partnerships between
those whose domestic comforts and family
enjoyments must be greatly promoted In
the future.
Little clubs among the farmers of a
neighborhood to meet once a week, to dis
cuss or talk over the iunU merable subjects
connected with the intelligent prosecution
of their noble profession, produce a deci-
dedly fraternizing and socializug effect
While these local associations should not
be too formal and restricted they should an
official organizatic n, as better calculated to
cause punctuality at the meetings, as well
as to add to their permanency. On these
occasions the wives and daughters of fam
lilies should always accompany their hus-
bands, fathers or brothers-not to parti-
cipate, of course, in the proceedings that
may take place but to increase the agreea-
bility of the meetings., and to share in the
pleasure of these delightful interchanges oi
good neighborhoods. Indeed, if the truth
must be spok en-and we are ready to do ii
on all occasions, especially upon such a one
as tbis-there is very little social enjoy
ment in the world which is not refined and
made doubly enjoyable by the presence Of
woman.

ONIONS AS MEDICNE.-'Mary," in
the Western Rural. recommends onions for
the relief of colds, coughs, &c. Mary is
sound on the onion, as we know from expe-
rience. There is nothing better. She
truthfuliy says:
Hardly too much can be said in favor
Of onions as a remedy for coughs and colds;
especially for children hey are invaluable.
They may be cooked and eaten al meal
time, or, what is better, eaten raw with a
little salt OF stirred up in vinegar. A syr-
up made Of them has saved many a child
from an attack of the Group OF lung fever,
and where these diseases were fully settled
it has gone far toward speedy cure. To
prepare the syrup, slice an onion in a tin
basin, pour upon i. half tea-cupful Of mo-
Iasses, or, what is better, honey add bit
of butter as large as small ehesnut; sci
the dish in the oven. and simmer slowly
