Hayti, or Hightee as the na-

tives pronounce it, is beginning
to attract more and more at
tention. We expressed the de-
sire in a late issue of our paper
that the island would be Occu-
cupied simply as q dependency
and never to be admitted as a
State. Strange to say, from
kilograms published, this seems
to be the policy Of the nation.
Of course we don't think that
our advice has been heard, but
the truth is that the policy in
dicated is SO plainly the proper
one that it Immediately pre-
sents itselftO every ones mind.
AS England has not only add
ed vastly to her wealth by the
conquest of Hindostan, but has
also vastly benefited the ma
tives of that country and the
world thereby, so we, by ac-
quiring tropical possessions,
can add to our wealth and
spread civilization. Again it is
a duty we owe to our colored
citizens to provide for them q
country, more congenial than
ours, to which they may retire
as they are crowded out by the
vast influx of North Europeans
The latest news in regard tc
Hayti that we have seen is thai
the United States has bought
it for a million and a half. The
mystery to us is how the gov.
eminent was found with which
to trade. We are sorry, for oul
self respect, that it was callet
a purchase; for we like to heal
the right name given to every
thing. In this case it is an DC
cupation not purchase.
Let now the United State.

New England legislation rules
the country, yet she complains
that she is not thriving by it. The
Boston Traveller says a great
many people are out Of work in
that city,. and the demands upon
the charitable for aid have never

says there are great numbers of
most deserving poor, shivering in
garrats and half starved, who
should be sought out and aided.

Orchards.

Now is the time to plant out
orchards. IF you have no space
set apart for an orchard, plant
peaches and plums in the fence
corners. Nearly every peach
and plum that comes up volun-
tarily is of quality good enough
to save. /.
Apples may be propagated
from the long cions, by treating
them as follows: Select a rich
spot with deep mellow soil of
about eighteen inches in depth,
let it be shaded from the mid
day and evening sun, sharpen
the butts of your coins, and
push them in the soil the eigh-
teen inches or more about six
or eight inches apart. They
will be almost certain to grow;
at least we saw a bed 4 by s
feet planted as above, all of
which grew. Should the SUM
mer be very dry they may need
watering occasionally. The
pomegranate treated in the
same way grows very well. In
deed it may be successfully
planted in this way in the place
where desired to grow. Figs
succeed splendidly hereabouts,
but must be planted in very
rich ground protected from
North winds by housesor woods
Next to the kitchen garden,
the most profitable acre Of a
farm is the orchard, if half cared

Unless one makes horticul-
ture a speciality he should only
