To make hay while the sun shines will
cease to have any particular significance
if the new method of curing hay lately
tried in England succeeds. And Mr.. Me
chi, the great scientific agriculturist of
Tiptree Hall, Essex County, England, an
unquestionable authority, declares that it
'leaves nothing to be desired" By this
method the grass is taken from the field as
fast as it is mown, and subjected to blast
of hot air for about ten minutes, when it
is perfectly cured and fit to be slowed
away. This hot air is obtained from fur
mace and is drawn out by means of revol-
wing fan, worked by horse power.

UNDIREcTED LETTERs.-Amongst the
marvellous array of figures contained in
the Annual Report of the British Postmas-
ter-General, there is one set which cannot
fail to make heavy draught on the credu-
lily of the reader. mo less than 1888
letters were posted during the year with
out any address, and of these 1888 letters
281 were found to contain money to the
amount of ib6,337." Such fact as this
may well be regarded as amongst the curl
osities and incredible things of daily life.
But the item is never absent from the Post
master G eneral's Annual Report, and the an
nual number of letters and amounts of
money contained therein are quantities
almost as uniform as the results of the OPP
Grafton any known law.

Farmers in America look after their
business much more closely than English
at least as to the cultivation and harvest
ing of the crops-mainly on account of the
unreliability of workmen. In England la
borers remain on the farm till they seem
part and parcel of it, and these old hands
can be left three-fourths of the year while
the farmer goes to market and fairs, buy
ing and selling to advantage with such
opportunities so as to tend in surprising
degree to swell his income.

An invalid son of Bacchus was about to
undergo an operation for dropsy at the
hands OF his physicians. 30 father, IA

was looking on, "do any thing else, but
don't let them tap you" "But, Sammy"
said the father, sit will do me good, and I

never was any thing tapped in our house
that lasted longer than a week."

"No, ma'am," replied Mary, II always

A Scottish nohleman one day visited a

DEMERARA.--On 2lst instant the Stea-

Ats immi grants from Calcutta. She had
a passage of Sc days. On same day also
arrived The French Steamer l. Eclair from
Cayenne with General Martin des Pallieres
en- route for Europe.

BARBADos.-The Governor of this ISL
and had left for Tobago in H. M. S. "Ja-
SON." The Globe reports that "Mortality
has been rife of late, owing perhaps to
the sudden and uuwholcsome alterations
of the weather proving fatal to weak con-
stitutions" and that paper thanks God
that the island is still free from infections
diseases. The Vest Indian of 22nd inst.
reports fine showers during the past fort
night, and a consequent improvement in
the canes.
DOMINICA. - The Dominican of goth
instant reports as follows :-'The weather
is now ali that the Planters can wish for.
Since Thursday night last rain has fallen
in abundance and there is every prospect
vi us COHCIIuluS' Notwithstanding Ju0
rain, however, the heat is intense in the
day, during the intervals of the showers,
nor are the nights much cooler"
Mr.. & Mrs. Wallack had been amusing
the inhabitants, and their performances
appear to have been highly appreciated.
JAMAICA.-The Cleaner of 23rd instant
gives the following:
1.-THE weather continues favorable for
planting operations, and in the interior
of the island, as we'll as in the mountain
Gus districts, heavy rains have fallen,
swelling the rivers and in some localities
rendering the roads impossible. There
is everywhere a good supply of feed for
the stock, and a continuance of the pre-
sent weather would greatly benefit the
growing crops, which, at the present,
romise well for next year. The rainy
season ip the mountains prevents much
of the Coffee o hand being brought for
shipment, and the prices offered at pre-
sent are very low. There is no top
mountoin Coffee at market. There has
been a cessation of speculation in Log
wood, owing TO the rainy seasons and
the very low price offered for the Aticle

NEGRO JURORS IN MISSISSIPPI
An important, point has been settled
at the present term Of the Circuit
Ccurt Of Lowndcs County, Mississ.
ippi. We abridge from the Southern
Sentinel as follows:
In the case Of Armstcad Munger,
freedman, indicted for the murder OF
another freedman, when the special
eenire was called by the sheriff, only
one white and three negro jurors took
their seats in tho jury box. The re-
nire consisted Of five white men and
forty-fve freedmen. The sheriff an.
nounced to the court that he had only
been able to summon seven out of
the fifty required-thc negroes gen.
orally denying their names. CoIonel
S. N. Meek made q motion to qrash
the renlre. The points Of the motion
were numerous, but the most impor-
tant was, that the negroes were not
recognized as jurors by the consti-
tuition and laws Of the State; and the
military orders having not been com.
piled with by the assessor, in relation
to the return Of the lists Of names
tho negroes summoned were not com.
potent jurors. After arguing this
point at some length, the District At
torney not resisting the motion, the
court decided that the point was we'll
taken, and the panel was quashed
There were two other negroes indict.
ed for murder. and The point made in
Munger's case being sustained, upop
same motion, the other. veu,res were
quashed, and the three cases coptin.
.ued until nextrterm. Strange a. il
may seem, all three of these NEGROES
des're;to DO tried by white Jurors
and were indignant at tho idea Of be
ing tried by their own color.
