The Massachusetts Ploughman, replying to
correspondents, says some things that may be
useful to others. One inquirer who wants to
know all about the cultivation of asparagus, is
told that five THOUSAND plants are required for
an acre of ground; and these very just direc-
tons are added:
you want only a few hundred plants for a
sort of family bed il is better to buy them than
to raise them from seed, and you may plant
either in spring or fall. 1t is more important to
look out lor the condition and fine filth of he
ground than TO be particular about the time
You VIII have to be patient as YOU can't ex-
pect 70 cut asparagus from the bed the first or
second year after setting. III properly taken
care OF You can safely begin 10 cut the third
year, though many of the best cultivators wait
till the fourth"
Another correspondent is very DESTROYS to get
information concerning strawberries; and that
nnfailing and persistent benefactor, the Wilson
which so many denounced because it is too acid
and so few can afford to reject, gets another hard
hit, in the reply:
off you propose to sell the fruit, you can
probably make more by raising the Wilson's
Albany than on any other variety, but If you
want IL for your own family use, raise something
that is ft to eat. The Triomphe de Gand, grown
IN NILS IS superb berry. The Jucunda, the
La Constante, the President Wilder, Hovey's
Seeding and many others might be named as
excellent and popular strawberries, but il de-
pends little upon what you want them for"

In the senate to-day the liquor bill which was
passed yesterday was reconsidered, on its engross-
ment, when an amendment was made relative to
the exempted cities and towns which have voted

the bill was then again ordered to be engrossed.

an era far earlieI Among the articles hitherto
found there, arc the bones and teeth OF the
Celtic short-horn, the goat and the horse, and
some remains of red deer and roe deer,
evidently the refuse of human food" There
were likewise fragments of pottery, bone
pins, "yarious nondescript articles in antler
and bone" stone potboilers, and "per-
forated disks of stone which had been used as
spinde-whorls." More interesting than these,
or the bronze, harp-shaped brooches usually
found among Roman remains, were two
brooches of gilt-bronze, "of sigmoid shape,
and adorned with a singularly beautiful pattern
in blue, yellow, red and green enamel" These
are pronounced undoubtedly purely Celtic
Other Celtic ornaments have also been found,
some of them very decately enameled, and
consisting of armlets and the like. Coins,
showing the date when these deposits were
made, range from the time of Traian to few
years later. 1t is supposed that the persons
who brought these objects to the cave must
have fed thither for saiety-probably from some
incursion of Picts or Scots-since people using
articles of such luxury would hardly have
chosen so dismal and unwholesome retreat
save under the spur of necessity.
What renders the "Victoria cave" more eX-
traordinary and noteworthy still is the fact that
below the strata in which the above named ar
ticles were discovered, traces of still Older
epoch have subsequently been found. Bone
harpoons and beads, and pieces of the skeletons
of bears and horses, with the usual signs of fire
and of food, show the presence Of man at
time long anterior to the invasion of Julius
Caesar Thus one discovery leads to another,
since what has served one generation as q
refuge naturally answers the same purpose for
generations to come. 1t is highly probable that,
when further cave discoveries are made in the
interior of our own continent, additional and
most desirable enlightenment will be afforded
touching the human beings who dwelt in Amer
lea ages before Columbus turned his adventur-
Gus prov toward the west, or even before the
Ph9nicians and Carthaginans first planted
their colonies in Iberia.-N Y. Times

Foreign Notes.

ENGLAND.
LONDON, May 13.-In the commons last night
a resolution was introduced by Macfe for the
appointment of a select committee to investigate
the relations of the colonies both to their mother
country and each other, to ascertain in what
manner they can be strengthened and bound in
closer friendship and loyalty to the empire, and
to assure the colonies they shall not suffer from
any ministerial policy. 1t was opposed by Wis
count Bury on the ground that the colonial re-
lations were all satisfactory. A general debate
followed, after which the resolution was with
drawn by the mover The Times to-day is con-
WINGED that the basis and essential provisions in
the treaty at Washington will certainly be
adopted by the American senate, and, therefore
believes that the treaty is virtually concluded. As
for the treaty itself, it is the result of mutual
concession, and the Times finds in it nothing in
| consistent with national honor, or that England
was not ready to make a sacrifice to restore am
ity between the branches of the Anglo-Saxon
| family.
FRANCE.
PARIS, May 12.-Under orders from the COM
mune the bank of France has been searched for
| arms, but none was discovered. The newspaper
SOciale proposes the immediate execution of all
members of the central committee, and it is re-
| ported that the committee is about to retire
| from office.
LONDON, MAY 13.-The Times dispatch from
Paris says that the clerks in the bank of France
| have been armed and Yictualed and are resolved
TO stand a siege from the federasts More
newspapers have been suppressed. Fighting is
| reported at st. Owen, which shows that the
| sphere of attack is extending. The German
commander has demanded the disarmament of
the northern enciente Of Paris. A naval COM
bat has occurred at the Anteuil Viaduct, and
one of the insurgent gunboats sunk. Fifty
| thousand NersaiDist troops will cross the Seine
tonight TO strengthen the force already in occu-
patton of the towns of Boulogne and Billan-
court A permanent court martial has been es-
| tablished in Paris. The cemetery of Issy has
been captured with considerable loss TO the
federalists. Eight cannon have been captured
at PuteauX, where one hundred insurgents were
| killed and several hundred taken prisoners.
! The approaches to the ramparts and fortfea-
tons Of Paris are being actively pushed forward
under the cover of heavy cannonade of the
entire federal works. Mcmahon has issued an
address to his soldiers, which is apparently pre-
liminary to grand attack.
