POSTAGE.

We have decided to discontinue our practice of paying the postage of subscrib- CTS three months in advance. It has re- suited in more i'll than good will we fear; in considerable expense to us, and slight saving to subscribers, especially as so many of them are in the habit of paying . years postage in advance on every first of January. Probably congress will soon restore to weekly papers their free county circulation, such a bill having already passed the House.

The Hartford Courant considers MT. w. w. Eaton certain of the Senatorship from the coming legislature. It gives Mr. Barnum and the other opponents of Eaton only 49 out of the 69 Democratic representatives from this Congressional District and New Haven County, and gives Mir. Eaton all the Democrats from Hartford, Holland and Windham coun- taes. No doubt the completeness of the Democratic victory will help MT. Eaton. There are 20 more Democrats in the leg islature this year than there were last, from Hartford, Holland, Windham, New London and Middlesex counties; while. on the other hand, there is but one more Democrat than last year from Litchfield, Fairfield and New Haven counties. Of course this result strengthens MT. Eaton, for the counties in which the Democrats gain are the counties in which he is strongest. Still we doubt whether the C0urant appreciates the political import ance of the almighty dollar quite so thor Oughly as do Republicans who are un- fortunate enough to reside in the Fourth Congressional District. We shall be sur prised if Mir. Eaton walks over the course as triumphantly as Hartford people ex- pect.

It seems that the English sparrow" which has recently made his appearance in this part of the country is not so very desirable an immigrant after all. A Pitts field gentleman writes to the Berkshire Courier as follows:

The sparrow is one of the most destructive, quarrelsome and malic- So1s cf hirds-worse than the king bird. They VIII drive away and destroy the nests of every lad of beautiful singing bird, such as the wren, rohn. bsns bird and you will have in their places amisehsevO1s little imp.

and Austrian, 81; the Canadian Gn-
Guiding all British America), 81; the
Frenchman, y; the German, s; the
Englishman, liz. DR.. Rudal esti-
mates the worlds paper product of all
kinds at 1900, 100000 pounds per an
mum. OF this one-half is employed in
printing, one-sixth for writing, and the
remainder for various other purposes.
He divides the total product as fol-
lows: For government uses Official

Ramie.

The nursery of Mr.. Finch, at Hay
wood Alameda county, proves the
complete adjustability of our climate
to the growth of ramie. The plants
are now feet high, in February, and
it Is the most severe Winter we have
had. On Twitchel Island, in the San
Joaquin river, is plantation of 26
acres, which last year yielded two cut
tings. The weight of the stalks to
cutting is astonishing; not less than
ton. Two cuttings therefore bring
$780, But if the stalks be passed
through brake (now in use) when
taken green from the field, the raw
fibre commands 80 cents u pound. ID.
H. Craig, of New York, offers to buy
all the raw fibre our State can supply,
at contract price to be fixed for five
years. He will set up machine
wherever wanted, by which he refines
the raw fibre, so that what he buys at
80 cents becomes valued at 81 per
pound. This process reduces one ton
of 80 cent fibre to so pounds superfine.
There remains q very large proper
ton for which uses are to be
found. After cordage, bagging, rope,
ETC., paper suggests a means OF clear
ing up the remainder. The outer
bark makes beautiful fixed green
dye, if one may judge by the impress
sion on the Ihands of the workmen.
The pith of the stalk contains salad
oil of peculiarly pleasant flavor; GER
tainly those who have tried it pro-
nounce it superior to olive oil, and pre-
dict for it a great demand. Further
experience may modify this report.
The leaves of ramie make a great
tonnage, and probably they may make
paper stock. If they do, the quality
will most likely resemble japanese
paper in toughness and in silky tex
ture.
There is yet valuable and very in
teresting product, the first which the
plant yields in the earliest Spring
time. The young sprouts of ramie
will vie with asparagus as delicious
table vegetable.
1t is easy to keep field of ramie in
order when once established. After
the first year the ground is so covered
with the spread that little attention is
needed. The plant is perennial. If
the soil has not q moist bottom, we
imagine that irrigation will be indis-
pensable after cutting, to give the Sec
ond growth fair start.
The acknowledged necessity for al
formation of crops will induce our farm
ers to examine the claims of this tex
tile plant upon their attention. Rural

Rumors of severe fighting in the
Central Department are current-also
of an expedition having landed at
Guanaban, near Neuvitas, Of which
Jordan was in command. The Span
ish troops were in full retreat on the
18th of February. They were bound
for Puerto Principe, their starting
point, when they were attacked the
second time. The assailing forces sud-
denly took flight. The Cubans say
their ammunition ran short and orders
were given to cease firing. If they had
had an abundant supply they would
have driven the Spaniards right into
the heart of Puerto Principe.

from the recent discovery in Ell
Dorado county was retorted few days
ago, and produced two pounds OF
quicksilver. The ore retOrted was not
choice lot, but taken promiscuously
from the dump. A specimen weigh
ing ten ounces retorted five ounces of
liquid metal, and we are informed the
discovery presents good deposit of
this rich ore. Every indication as
work progresses warrants the belief
that the discovery will prove both per-
manent and valuable. This is the
