MARKET GARDENING IN THE UNITED
STATEs.-The census returns show, in the
Eastern and Middle States, decrease in
the production of live stock and of staple
grains, and an increase in vegetable and
garden crops. Grain farming and stock
raising are rapidly shifting to the West.
Texas has shown an indefinite capacity to
crowd the markets of the country with
low-priced beef-a competition which the
Eastern farmers cannot resist. The virgin
lands of the frontier, with their unbroken
fertility, are as yet too much for the worn
soils Of the older States, even with the adj
vantage of scientific culture. Instead of
bewailing these new conditions of produc-
ton, the farmers of the East are turning
attention to vegetable crops to supply the
necessities of the large village and city
populations that the last decade has
amassed. Potatoes, turnips, cabbages,
onions, beans, eggs, milk, poultry, all
find profitable home market, and relieve
the farmer from his most laborious tasks.
The farmer must no longer be ashamed
of his truck-patch, for here finds his
greatest profit.

Mr.. Sampson expresses himself as well
pleased with his Chinese shoemakers. They
never strike on account of wages, and he
has experienced no trouble with them
whatsoever. Captain Hervey, upon six
months experiment with Chinese in his
laundry at Belleville, N. j., appears to
be we'll enough satisfied with them to in
crease his force to one hundred. He says
they do not work as rapidly as girls. The
latter, if they labor steadily, can realize

state how much, or in what manner, bis

PRESIDENT GRANT AT ANNAPoLIs.-
President Grant, Mrs. and Miss Grant,
Secretary Robson, and Senator Cattell ar
rived at Annapolis on Saturday morning,
on visit to the Naval Academy, as the
guests of Commodore Worden. There
they reviewed the marines and midship-
men in dress parade, complimentary salutes
were fired, and other usual homage paid
the distinguished visitors. The day was
excessively warm, the thermometer having
been as high as 90 degrees, and the expo
sure in the heat produced severe head
ache to the President, by reason Of which
he was compelled to retire to Commodore
Worden's residence, where medical asss-
lance was rendered The others witnessed
the progress of the examination of the
middes, and also exhibitions in practical
seamanship by the graduating class At
2 o'clock an early dinner was served for
the accommodation of the visitors, who
returned to Washington in the afternoon
by special train.

The late Mr.. Thackeray had a nose of
most peculiar shape, as may be seen by
his portrait. The bridge was very low,
and the nostrils extremely well developed.
On one occasion, at party where Douglas
Jerrold was present, it was mentioned that
Mr.. Thackeray's religious opinions were
unsettled, and that lady of his acquain-
lance was doing her best to convert him to
Romanism. "To Romanisin r exclaimed
Jsrrold. "Let us hope she'll begin with

cuse Daily Standard Of May 9th:


cuse Daily Standard of May 9th:
Jefferson Davis made brief, but sig
nifcant, speech at Augusta on Wednesday
evening. He hesitated to express his views
on the political situation, because his re-
marks might be misrepresented and affect
the interests of his rebel friends at the
South, but he INDUCED in insnuations and
regrets and hopes for the future that plain
ly indicate his attachment to the "lost
cause" and his hope and belief that the
time will arrive when the standard of re-
bellion will again be raised, and the South
assert its Independence and re-establish its
old aud cheaished institutions. JEFF Davis
is like the played out old Giant described
in the "Pilgrim's Progress" impotent for
mischief, but as malignant and spiteful as
ever. The hangman's rope should have
put stop to his speeches at the close Of
the war it4

VALLANDIaHAM's New DEPARTURE
Vallandigham's "New Departure" bids
fair, even at the North and West, to cause
a rupture in the Democratic party. Even
in Ohio the press generally repudiates it
and the contest will take place at Column
bus on Wednesday, when the Democratic
State convention assemblies. The Demo-
cratic leaders from all sections of tie State
are moving towards the capital in over
whelming numbers. Many of those who
favor the "New Departure are averse to
allowing Vallandigham to assume the lead
ership in this movement, and will not be
reliable and efficient co-workers with that
gentleman in the coming struggle. Pros
poets are now favorable for large conven-
ton and most terrific storm. While the
main feature of the new doctrine may bt
endorsed by the convention, we are dis
posed to think that Vallandigham will gel
snubbed on all hands.

THE horrors of the Commune are sup

THE horrors of the Commune are sup
plemented by excuses of the Versailles Go
vernment. The last fight in the Cemetery
of Pere La Chaise was simply slaughter,
the maniacs of the Commune, by resis-
lance as vain as it was inhuman, provolS-
ing terrible fire from their enemy which
destroyed alike the men and the women
and children who had followed their for
tunes. Since the surrender the men taken
in arms have been shot by platoons, hun
bred falling at single fire, and these sum-
mary military executions have taken place
simultaneously in three or four places
Such policy is incomprehensible to us, who
have not shot single leader Of much
greater instruction; but such populace
as that of Paris is also incompreEensible
and fortunately unknown to us. Human
ity will condemn it without question; but
it is uncertain if any other less cruel course
of action is open to M. Theirs. He must
be cruel to maintain himself, and it is
doubtful if the most positive action can
now save his government from dissolution.
