Truck FARMlNd.-.Mr. T. G. Baytop Of

that county, and in King & Queen, and Math-

he ever knew them to be- Mr. B. planted bis
first peas on the 5;h OF February and finished
on The 18th, This interest, heretofore small,
has now assumed magnitudinous proportions,
aud will be source of great wealth to that
whole section of country MIR. B. states that
at the two wharves, Cappahosc and Clay Bank
fully one hundred and eighty bushels of peas
have been landed, all of which were planted In
their immediate neighborhoods. ALLOW ne
Says twenty barrels to the bushe, which Is
ouly two thirds as much rs they yielded last
year, and it amounts to three thousand six hun
dred barrels, and averaging them at four dol
lars barrel, less still than they sold for last
year, amounts to fourteen thousand four hun
drcd dollars. This is great increase from
about five years ago, from peas alone. The in
crease IN Irish potatoes is equally as great. A
most astonishing quantity was raised by Mr..
Thos. Leigh, at Hickory Hill last Fall. He

Many people look upon money paid out
for advertising as spent and gone but shre-
WIDER business men view it in its proper
light. They regard it merely as an invest
ment, from which large and regular re-
turns are certain to be gained. And not for
one year Or two, alone. but as long asthey
continue in business. Nor are they "ver
mistaken in this calculation. No invest
ment q business man eau make will pay
as certainly and largely as the money paid
for advertising in newspaper OF large and
good circulation, 1t generally yields, when
judiciously used, from one hundred to one
thousand per cent. This is the testimony
of all who have fairly and thoroughly test
ed the principle. The sun is not more ne

A Monkey in Trouble.

Sam Wilcoxe l., OF the Eagle brewery
has a small meuagerie Of monkeys. badg-
era foxes, coyotes and the like. He also
has large Newfoundland dog, on whose
blcs he sometimes place one OF his pet
monkeys when he is going for walk about
tho town, the monkey fastened to the col
lar of the dog by a string. AS general
thing The monkey enjoys the ride, but we
saw him day or two since when he would
willingly have traded himself off for some
less privileged specimen Of his species.
His canine steed being allowed to roam
through the streets at will, saw another
dog that he thought he could whip, and
forthwith went for him like airy hur-
ricane. In a moment both dogs were en-
their hind legs and going for each other
like two sausage manchines. TINS maae
things very lively for the monkey, as the
stranger dog evidently considered him as
part and parcel of his antagonist. Such
walls of despair as that monkey uttered,
and such hideous faces as he made we never
heard or saw. He would climb down the
side of the dog he bestrode opposite to
where the war was going on, and thence
peep over occasionally, his jaws quiveriBg,
visage distorted, aud his eyes starting from
their sockets with terror. AS the dogs were
constantly changing sides, it made times
awfully lively with the monkey. When
he Jumped to the ground the string held
him, and he found himself trampled under
the feet of both friend and foe, and he was
glad 10 get again upon the back of his s'eed
and face the battle. The poor monkey was
in a worse fix than the boy who stood on
the burning deck, and had not the dog
been separated he must soon have beer
rendered fit subject for the Stockton Insane
Asylum. As it was he did not get ovei
examining the end of his tail for wounds
for four hours after the battle; perhaps hi
had fears of hydrophoba.

Can Jacob Democrats Support the
EllenboTo Nominee

Editors lntelllgencer:
Never was q gentleman elected 10 a
place Of political distinction whose friends
have had more reason for qualification
than those Of Governor Jacob. Stating
frankly his case to the people, as opposed
10 that Of the ring conspirRtors, he APP
pealed 10 the people 10 sustain him. All
the orators In The ring combination were
working shoulder 70 shoulder in the
movement against him, but the plainly.
stated facts Of the Governor seemed 10
have telling effect throughout the State.
The bogus PArkersburg gathering was
declared by the ring 10 be q regularly
gotten UP convention, and Governor
Jacob was denounced by the same ring
as traitor TO large majority oil the peo.
pie and the Democratic party. The vim.
dicAtlon Of the Governor at the polls, how.
ever, was so complete that he had every
reason TO suppose the mandate Of the
people would be respected. But such
was not the case. The Ellenboro nomi-
nee, backed by the hounds generally,
commenced to dog him from the word CO.
Every device that ingenuity could invent
was resorted to to impede the exercise OF
his gubernatorial functions. His Efforts
at exposure Of theits from the public
treasury were thwarted, men Of no char
acter were placed in positions Of distinc-
ton, that tools might be at hand ready to
execute the villainies concocted by the
ring managers.
Jacob Democrats, what Is the situation
to.dsy! Do we hear Of any charges laid
at the door Of our distinguished Governor
None whatever, The question now is the
Civil Rights bill. Do these gentlemen
really expect to divert the attention OF
the people from their past misdeeds by q
dodge Of this kind? Let Independent
Democratic look to 1t. The same faction
that opposed every effort OF reform insti-
tuted by the Governor appeals to you
again Tor power. r.s

virginia Finances,

To the Editor Of the Tribune.
Shiny attention has been called to q
communication in your issue Of the Sd
inst, headed Southern Securities, (which,
so lar as concerns the State Of Virginia, Is
incorrectly stated. Under what was
known as the Funding Bill" Virginia
retired all the old bonds that were pre-.
sented, and issued in their stead regis.
tered or coupon bonds, at the option Of
the holder, in the proportion Of tWo.thirds
the face Of the old bond, and executed an
obligation for the remaining third based
upon future settlement to be made with
the State Of West Virginia. On the new
bonds the State Of Virginia pays four per
cent interest, and for the remaining
two per cent Issued certificate with
promise 10 pay whenever the State
shall be able 10 do 80, and this cannot
now be long delayed. The coupons at
tached 10 the new bonds sell at 80 cents
on the dollar, and are very ssleable to par.
ties indebted TO the State for taxes, Ii
censes, &c. The bonds, selling at 50 cents,
or $500 for q 81 900 bond, pay over per
cent on the amount invested, the holder
receiving 800 worth OF coupons, which
produce $4S In the market. sfF p
These bonds are as good, II not better,
investment than any bonds on the mar
ket, for Virginia will never repudiate, al.
though ignorant people may say she has
already done 80 by only providing for two.
thirds Of her bonded debt. But Tor divid.
ing the old State, this would not have been
done. and siuce the general government
sanctioned the division, all right.thinking
people will admit that West Virginia
ought 10 pay her share Of the debt Of the
old State, or it ought TO be assumed by
the government Of the United States. q,
