What can be nicer or more appropriate
for the season than a frst-class watermelon
in July or August A correspondent of
the Southern Cultivator says:
'As l am vesy successful raising water
melons, 1 thought ! would send my plan
The spot of groupd that you expect to plant
prepare well early IN the spring, by p,owing
deep. The first of April lay off your hills
eight feet apart each way; dig out holes
two feet deep, two feet square; in each hole
put half peek rotten cotton seed, half peck
of hog-pen manure, and tablespoonful Of
salt: mix well with hoe, adding soil until
you get the hole full up to three inches of the
surface, then draw on light loose dirt until
you get it level; do not elevate It, for by so
doing you cause them to die out when sum
mer comes; draw your hoe around to form
furrow; plant half dozen seed IN each
hill; soon as up thin out to four; second
hoeing thin to two; continue to hoe them
every four or FIVE days, and just before the
vines start to run, side with plow, first one
way then the other-I mean cross -plowing.
In about ten days give another plowing and
and hoeing. Continue to keep the ground
loose Just as long as you can do so without
injuring the vines, for in nc case should they
be moved. Drive little sticks across the
vine thus: Y. by the above plan L have

1t is related that.a boarding-house keeper
in Arkansas was once disturbed by report
that his bOarders were mutinous because Of
the too frequent appearance of hash on the
breakfast-table. Accordingly he descended
to breakfast the next morning, laid one por-
tentious horse pistol on each side of his plate
at the head Of the table, and said; ANY gen
tleman who says he don't like hash, hes
Mr.. Brown" he continued, turning to the
nearest boarder, 1will you take hash?

SPLIT-There is no mistakingl the truth
that the Republican party is diYded on all
questions but the negro-fuddle. We give, as
an instance:
a number of Republicans, of Cincinnati,
among whom are J. D. Cox, Judge Mat
thews, Judge Hoadley, and e. R. Sage, have
adopted new platform, which they recon-
mend the Republican party to adopt for its
future guidance. The principles of the
platform are: Amnesty and enfranchise-
ment for the South revenue reform-im-
port taxes being imposed for revenue only
against government patronage being used
for party purposes; for a quick return to
specie payment; civil service reform.

Brigham Young, now that the Pacific
Railroad penetrates his territory, does not
enjoy the immunity from interruption by the
Gentiles he formerly had Religious socie-
ties, particularly the Methodist, have gone
right among the Mormens, fearlessly pro-
claiming against pOlygamy. Last summer
the Rev. DR.. Newman discussed the subject
with Orson Pratt, Brigham having declined
to measure swords with him, and now it is
reported that a trio Of Methodist preachers
intend to hold camp~m0eting at Salt Lake
City some time during the coming season.
The Methodists already have church there,
to which many converts will doubtless thus
be added. Mormonism is evidently being
surely and swiftly undermined.

The Mormon difficulties seem not TO
subsidc. Brigham Young was arrested
last week, but owing to sickness could not
appear before the court. He was allowed
to remain at his house under promise Of
appearing in few days. He then pre-.
tended submission, but on Wednesday a
special conference Of the church was held
at which bis son, with others, applied the
most bitter language to the Government
and its officials, praying God to curse
them all together. MOrmouism in its
original form being tho modern embodi.
ment of Thcocratic principles, was in op.
position to the spirit ola Republican gov.
ernment, but on account Of the mere faith
alone could not be interfered with. When
some years ago the practice Of polygamy
was introduced, however, our statute laws
we're violated, polygamy being nothing but
adultery. This gave our officials a right
to interfere. They have done SO by or
dering the arrest Of Young aud some 9th.
ers on this charge. Where the difficulty
will end is not to be foretold.
