the COST or WEEDS.

What have on the brain is weeds.
Some people think that, with modern ag-
ricultural implements and the vast extent
of fertile land in the United States, we
shall produce SO much more grain, meat
and wool than can possibly be- CONSUMED
by our population, that prices will fall SO
low that there will be no profit in farming.
Were it not for weeds and insects, such
probably would be the case. My own farm
and the Deacon's are overrun with weeds.
We are fighting them to the extent Of our
ability and are meeting with gratifying
success. Our farms are becoming clean
er and cleaner every year, but even yet
the weeds cost us more than all other
taxes-town, county, State and national
direct and indirect, combined. fl "a
do not mean that the labor of destroy
ing them costs so much, but the weeds
that escape damage our crops to- such an
extent that we lose half our profits. You
must recollect that the actual profitsSof
farming, after deducting the interest aon
capital, the cost Of labor (our own or
othersO, the wear and tear of supplements,
etc., are exceedingly small. know of
comparatively few farms where, after
making these deductions, the actual profits
are more than five dollars an acre. On
the other hand, know of scores Of farms
where. at least on some fields, the weeds
damage the crops ten dollars an acre.
And, depend on it, no farmer, can, be
really successful until he makes an ear
nest, persevering effort to clean his land.
1t is fortunate for us that the means used
to accomplish this object will do much
toward enriching the soil. Joseph Har-
ris, in Agriculturist. q ~ ~ la

NEW YORK, April 11,-Commodore John S.
Chauncey, of The United States navy, died at
Brooklyn yesterday.
In the examination of President Rolston, of
the seamen's loan and trust company, yester-
day, in reference to the Erie sock claimed by
the English stockholders, the fact was disclosed
that new stock for the bonds held by the re-
ceiver, Colman, had already been issued, and
that in proposing fresh issue to the English
owners of that stock the Erie railway company
proposes to make an illegal overissue.
The removal of Gen Palmer from the APP
praisership is now stated to have been for other
than political purposes. Within the past two
weeks cargo of pepper belonging to heavy
importing firm had been seized together with
the books and papers Of the firm, and one re-
suit of the investigation of the case
has been the ordering of a suit in re

son for removal of Gen. Palmer, clearly shows,
however, without any allegation, that his action

THE FEELING IN HAYTI
KINGSTON, Jamaica, April 10.-The president
of Hayti, since the departure of the Santo Do
mingo commissioners, has received addresses,
numerously signed, from every town and village
of the republic, protesting the attachment of
the Haytiens to their nationality and their de-
termination to maintain their independence
against intrusion from whatever quarter and in
whatever manner. The addresses breathe the
same sentiment against annexation. The MOni-
teur says that in the congress and the press of
the United States discussion has taken place
in reference to the annexation of the whole
island, and adds; $50 far as Hayti is concerned,
the government and people of the United States
cannot be too early convinced of the utter i'm
possibility of such an event" Addresses. with
the signatures, appear in the official papers, but
the president has not made a reply to any Of
them.

Mr.. John Quincy Adams, of Massachusetts
son of his father, grandson of his grandfather,
and occasional candidate for governor of that
state, has been giving some advice TO the
democracy. By way of amendment, he tried
his hand on the reconstruction of Mr.. Linton
Stephens, of Georgia. That gentleman's poll
tics being of the "last ditch" persuasion, MIR.
Adams counsels him to cool off and consider
Mr.. Adams also has serious apprehension of
the loose way which southern democrats have
of "going for the government and things gen.
orally. He is Yankee, and has an eye to bust
ness. He says; "The north can never be carried
for a new revolution. We must 20 forward and
not back We must demand self-government
for all, and guarantee equdlrightS to every man.
Democrats must be democratic to succeed"
Who shall hereafter doubt the influence of
climate in producing the different species of the
human race? See how it breeds different
species of democracy. Here is Massachusetts
member of that india rubber organization, with
Just as keen an itching for Office as any of them
actually talking about guaranteeing equal
such doctrine down here, he would soon be
asked if he meant to include the Odd mggers,"
and where would Mr.. John Quincy Adams stand
in the estimation of his kukuX brethren if he
said yes? No our dear democratic FRIEND of
the historic cognomen, ifthese are your views
you had better make your race for president en-
tirely within sight of Cape Cod, or do your cleo
pioneering mainly around Barnstable bay, for
your democracy is certainly not acclimated to
the south Your state has the abomination of
free schools, with Plymouth rock standing
Fright over fernenst." Then, in Massachusetts,
the negroes have been allowed to vote for nearly
sixty years, and her democracy have long since
accepted the situation.
No, misguided youth of the Bay State; you
cannot teach our southern democratic friends.
They have fought for their democracy and be-
lieve now in extending it by force, as Mahomet
established his religion. In this section OF the
country, democracy means blood, and not di'
luted puritanical professions. These homilies
upon equal rights are no doubt necessary to Sc
cure the support of people who occasionally
take look at Bunker Hill, but they arc too cold
blooded and considerate for the fierce riders who
control the party in the south. We formerly
heard much of the isothemal line marking the
boundaries of slavery. Democratic sentiment
now seems TO be regulated upon the degrees of
latitude. Practically, however, the Massachu-
sets man is right. The American people under
stand the matter, and they do not intend TO put
an incipient rebellion in power, however sweet
may be its professions of democracy Tennes-

We refer for particulars to the advertisement. We
also take pleasure in copying the following notice

Siddons at the Opera house. last evening, has been

purest OF artists, unembarrassed by uncongenial
surroundings. The lady was elegantly robed IN
will the ladies forgive us If leave that important
matter northumberland lost nothing In the lack
Of changing costume. In her readings, she was not
bound TO her text, but gave the freedom and spirit
of life to all. The highest achievement was the
sleep-walking scene Of Lady Macbeth, and therein
the great woman whose name she inherts might have
"Out, out. damned spot "-the shuddering horror
that breathed in the exclamation, "Who would
have thought that the old mad had so much blood
IN h1m!'-with the wringing of those dainty
hands, are utterly indescribable In words. The
picture was wonderful, and the audience were
breathess in their engrossing interest In this,
and In the powerful verses OF Lady Clara We're de
Vere," she reached greatness. The scenes from the
"School for Scandal" between Sir Peter and Lady
Teaze, In their extreme contrast were not less ex-
cellent; the MAY Queen" with its girlish jolity
fifty rendered; and tine sparkling dialogue which
made the woong of Henry the Fifth OF England,
was admirably done. This beautiful woman, even
more charming off the stage than on, cannot come
too often to delight our public, and to receive their
ardent welcome.

WEDNESDAY. APRIL 1s. 1871.

FISK, JR., has more audacity than is really
him believe be could come to Boston with his
regiment, on the nth of June, be received by
kueellng citizens as an eminent parsonage, aud
followed and admired by the crowd as the most
gorgeous and remarkable lion of the age. Con.
sequently, he sent ENJOYS to treat with the
municipal authorities of Boston, and arranged
the style and method of the honors that
should be awarded him. 1t would be great
day for Fisk, Jr., he believed; his glorifcation
performances would be amazing; Boston incense
and admiration would give him ineffable eleva-
ton; and he would return to his Erie and his
opera house and his various New York per-
formances, SO wonderfully clothed with honor,
that be could resume his accustomed work with
o lofty smile of scorn at any meddlesome per-
son who should venture to cTiticse his doings.
It was an exciting dream. an inspiring vision,
an intoxicating fancy; but it has vanished. He
might forget what manner of man he is, but
this is not forgotten in Boston where people still
know the difference between an eagle and buzz
card. His application for Boston honors has
been rejected and SPONTANEOUSLY laid on the
table. His ENJOYS were furnished with letter
of introduction to Mayor Castor, and his re-
quest was submitted to the aldermen. With
but little debate and no particular ceremony, it
was laid on the table. One alderman thought
1t might be referred to the appropriate commit
tee; but this suggestion gained no favor. The
aldermen were ready to decide the matter at
once, without delay; and they did SO without
the fsintest show of sympathy for Fisk, Jr., or
Of respect for his dreams. This was precisely
what the case required; although it is not what
the audacity of Fisk, Jr., expected. He is a
very peculiar sort of q man to whom ordinary
rules can not safely be applied; therefore, we
will not undertake to predict whether he will or
will not persist in his purpose to visit Boston
with his regiment.
