HoSa KONG, May 20, 1865
The people Of Hong Kong were rather pleasantly
disappointed at the arrival of the Pacific Mail only
four days behind time seeing that lately we have
been accustomed to about ten days delay But since
have read the report Of Mr.. McLne, the president
OF the line, which, by the way, has been most favor
ably received and commented on, both by the mer-
camille community and the local press, we are In
hopes that we shah soon cease TO grumble at the
want OF punctuaty.
The weather is exceedingly hot and physicians are
predicting an unhealthy season. IL seems to me
that the first chance they have physicians always
predict an unhealthy season. But my opinion Is
that people could enjoy as good health in this settle.
ment as they do In New York n they would only
look out for themselves. But the fact s life out in
the East generally means luxurious living and riot
Gus drinking, which prepare more victims for
cholera and fevers than any heat mIasma that was
ever known.
Shall we never have done with the constant growl.
ing aud snarny against the gambling lawsp In all
my experience have never known an unfortunate
oflclal to have more abuse heapcd on him than has
been piled up for the benefit OF the Governor OF this
colony and his council In consequence OF
licensing gambling houses. IF there is any
measure passed during the administration Of
Sir Richard Graves Mcdonnell that he should
look upon with complacency my Idea Is it
Is this very law, about which there Is such O
terrible "huabaloo ~ The only circumstance in the
case TO which should take exception Is the rather
squeamish prudery with which the government has
avoided using the means that this license could put
into their hands, TheoGovernor constantly reterates
that the law passed. not for the purpose Of rails
ing revenue, but 10 keep the thing under controls
consequently he has been constantly reducing the
amount OF the license. Why, In the name OF CON-
mon sense, cannot he do both' | doubt whether
any contractor or creditor OF the government
would object to receive money In liquidation be-
cause II was derived from taxing gambling houses;
and surely IT s patent as noon day that with every

sweet Potato Slips.

A Logan county farmer communicates
the following to the Russellville (Ky.)
Herald:
First make pen eighteen inches high,
where the sun can shine on it-six feet
square is large enough for one bushel Of
seed ten feet square for three bushels of
seed. Then Gil your pen fifteen inches
deep with manure from the stable, mixing
a good deal Of straw with the manure; put
on three buckets of water for the small
sized bed, and in proportion for the large
one; then put one inch Of rich earth-from
the woods is the best /; then spread on the
potatoes then cover il three inches deep
with straw make a shelter of the bed for
fear of hard rain. In about two weeks
they will be up; then take the shelter and
straw off; in case of danger Of FROST put
the straw back until the weather moder-
ates when the weather is dry water the
bed frequently to keep it moist, but not
muddy. When you set out your plants,
make hole 10 the top Of the hill large
enough for pint of water; pour the water
on the slips; as soon as the water settles,
pull up the dry dirt around the slips. By
following this plan have not failed 10
raise plenty of potatoes for many years.

Planting Corn I'm Drills.

A correspondent of the Maine Farmer
gives his experience in planting corn as
follows:
In the spring of 1866, prepared one
acre Of land for corn by spreading on forty
one horse loads of old manure, narrowing
it in thoroughly. then furrowed it light
ly, and planted my corn in drills, each kerr
mel four or five inches apart, with beans
every four feet, and pumpkins every eight
feet The result was as follows: seventy
bushels of good round ears, with FIVE bushels
of soft corn, five bushels Of excellent beans
and fifteen cart loads of pumpkins This
was on newly broken up land.
Last spring plowed my last years po-
tato ground, (three-fourths Of an acre. and
prepared one-half Of il as before. The other
half / drilled the manure in the furrow,
and planted as before. The result was, on
the first half of the piece, thirty bushels of
good sound corn. On the other hall, thirty
eight bushels of larger corn, no pumpkins,
and few beans j used one-half each Of
plaster and ashes. L consider ashes worth
twice az much as plaster, TO put in the hill
with corn. / think FIVE or six inches apart
il near enough to put the kernels.
