POTATO MAsH.-Duriug the past six months the
weather has been very favorable for the growth
and ripening Of the sweet potato crop in South
Kona, and the consequence is, as we learn from
parties lately there. that the drinking Of sour Pota-
toes Is the principal occupation of the people.
Quarrels and fghtings are rife, and in one instance
at least. insanity had resulted from the continued
debauch. And yet we are told that these people
do not need a prohibitive liqnOr law. o yes, let
them have free whisky. by all means, if it is desired
to see their speedy extinction. ~ e

PIPE LAYING-During the past week. Col. Prem
dergast, the Superintendent of Water Works, has
been busy with a gang of workmen and mechanics
laying a ihree-ineh pipe through School street from
Nuuanu to Emma street. The pipe is TO be con-
tinued down the latter street to Beretania, and a
branch will also be laid down Fort street. Hydrants
will be placed at proper distances along all this
piping. so that hereafter there will be no trouble
about a lack Of water in case Of fire. The eleva-i
ton Of the reservoir is about IS feet apOYe the
corner Of Emma and School streets. so that a good
head Of water Is ensured.

week, removing every bug in sight, and
every leaf upon which Larvae appear. This
is much lighter job than it would seem TO
be, from reading an account of the num-
bers in neglected fields. III you spare them
to the second generation, the battle Is lost I;
or, If the battle Is won against the bugs,
the potatoes will he lost.
If few rows of early potatoes should
be planted in a field intended for late plant
ing, an advantage might be gained in plac-
es where the bugs have not become very
numerous. The bugs of the noighborhood
make for the first potatoes that appear. IL
the potatoes that come up first are confined
TO n small spot, the first crop of bugs can
be more readily destroyed. This destruc-
ton of the invaders is half the battle.

Sailing HAY.-Farmers are divided in
opinion as 10 the utility of sailing hay.
One thing is certain, that it has never
proved sufficiently advantageous to be-
come adopted by good farmers to any ex-
tent. We do not think it would preserve
green hay or affect the weight, unless ap-
piled in doses so large as TO injure ami
mails. Four quarts to the ton are as much
as we would advise for an experiment
Some farmers inform us that three quarts
per ton makes their hay more palatable,
and prevents mustiness, while others give
unfavorable reports. So small a quantity
would not probably produce much effect
either way. Hay contains naturally sew
eral pounds of salt per ton (the precise
amount we have not now al hand,) which
is probably about as much as animals
need. \ difficulty in sailing hay is in APP
plying it evenly; it would be likely to be
spread in masses, and animals would get
undue quantities at times. On the whole
we have not much TO say in favor of salt
ing hay, but would depend much more on
a good tedding machine Country Gentle

RAKEY's HORSE "CRUIsER." -Probably
no horse was ever more generally known
than the celebrated horse Cruiser, import
ed from England in 1861, by John S. Rar-
ey, whose system of horse tanning was for
some time the sensation of this country
and England. When Mr.. Rlrey went 10
England his system was thoroughly put 10
a test by contact with Cruiser; an animal
that was so vicious that he was closely and
continuously confined in stable, in such
way that he could by no possibility reach
anybody, either with his mouth or heels.
His feed was delivered to i'm through a
sort of funnel, and he seems TO have been
kept solely as an extremely wicked cnri-
Osty. His splendid muscle and activity
gave him the widest scope for the exercise
of his incorrigibhly, and he is said TO have
kicked so high as 10 strike a board floor
fourteen feet above the floor on which he
stood, Ordinarily, it was only the work of
a few min Ites for Mr.. Rarey to tame
horse, but it took him three hours TO sub
due the terrific Cruiser
After putting Cruiser under control, Mr.
Rarey purchased him and brought him TO
this country, and put him on the Rarey
farm, at Groveport, in this county, where
he became popular among breeders. He
became so gentle that the people about the
Rarey farm could fondle him as they
would kitten, and his colts were noted
for their kind disposition. Strangers, how
ever, were not permitted to have much TO
do with him. This was 10 prevent teasing
and the revival of the old propenslies.
Cruiser died at the Rarey farm on We'd
nesday last, in the twenty-lhird year of his
age. His teeth were worn so much that
he could not eat hay, and provender had
to be especially prepared for him. AS
contemplated by the will of Mr. Rarey, he
received the kindest care in his old age,
and it was only recently that he fell into a

A good story is told of a verdant one who
was passenger on a railroad express train,
and became thirsty. "Wheres that ere
boy with the water CAM" he queried of
bis neighbor. "IIe has gone forward to the
baggage car, l suppose" was the reply.
"Well, aye s'pose kin git him back here
agn ?" "Certainly," said the other, "you
have only TO ring for him." and he nod
ded toward the bell line above their heads.
Beloreany one could prevent it, Rustic had
seized the line and given ii Tremendous
ring. Three shrill whistles were heard,
half dozen brakemen ran TO their posts,
and the train came TO a stand-still with a
suddenness that startled half the passen-
gers with establishment, and caused every
man near window to raise il and look
out TO see what was the matter. In few
minute the conductor, rcd and excited,
came foamng into the car TO know who
pulled the bell rope. "IIere, mister this
way I'm the man." shouted the offender,
drawing all eyes upon him. Your said

said I'd better ring for him as we do at the
hotel, an so yanked the rope. Will he
be along ?" An by the by, what in
thunder be you stoppin, fur?' The shout
of laughter that greeted this honest con-
iession was too much for the conductor,
and he had to wait until he got his train
under way before he explained the mystic
ries of the bell-rope to his verdant custom

year olds in chorus.
"Nice you bet it is. Let me show you.
Now, I'll lay the candy down here on the
step, and you all go down there and come
up when you hear me call like rooster"
The girls relleated and gathered in a
group about fifteen feet off, while the boy
got on his knees, with his head over the
candy, and began TO call and strut and flap
his arms like Il ROSTERS wings.
"Cuck, cluck, TAT, tat, rap, cluck," and
all the girls came running up and bent TO

opened his mouth and took it in at one

True humility, being a wise virtue, will
deal more in self-examination and secret
contrition than in confession. For confess
sion Is often mere luxury of the con-
science, used as the eplcures of ancient
Rome would use an emetic and warm
bath before they sat down TO a feast. 1t is
oflen also very snare to The maker of it,
and a delusion practiced on the party TO
whom II is made. For, first, the faults
may be such as words will not adequately
explain secondly, the plea of guilty shakes
judgment in her seat thirdly, the indul-
gence shown 10 confession mi2ht he better
bestowed On the shame which clnceals, for
this tends 10 correction, whereas confession
will many times stand instead Of penitence

sorrowful Penltence stands in the place Of
amendment, aud is washed away in its

A BIT naby.

The Springfield Republican is inclined
to boast over the size of baby, recently
born in that city. Ii says: "The boy child
Of d. j. Shea, born last Thursday evening,
was weighed Immediately after its birth
by Dr.. Rice, in the presence of a dozen
witnesses, with balance scales, and weigh
ed 20 pounds and . ounces. This weight
can be relied upon, as there IVES no spring
TO ca use tie scales TO deceive, the figures
were seen by several persons, and these
pre- sent guessed the weight OF the child TO
be Is pounds or more before it was placed
in the balance. The weight is also verified
by measurements of the child taken Sun
day morning, sixty hours amer its birth.
The horizontal Circumference of lis head is
lG inches, tie perpendicular circumference
l62 inches, length of child, 233 inches, dis
lance from shoulder 10 shoulder over the
chest, 204 inches: in short, the child is as
large as an ordinary babe a year old, and
is well and nourishing. That these fig
ures are entirely unparalleled is proved
by medical works, which give instances of
infants weighing 10 or II pounds ut birth,
but generally scout the idea Of greater
weights. One author, indeed, tells of a
still-bon child of II pounds, ard a scarce
ly authentic case of sill-born child of
over nineteen pounds, but gives 10 pounds
as the maximum weight and about Z!
pounds as the average weight of living in
fants. This is the first child OF the parents,
both Of whom are of Irish descent The
mother is five feet four inches high, TWEEN
ty-thee years old, weighs 1876 pounds
when in good health, and bears her corr
finement well. The father is twenty -four
years old, and is not man of unusual
size"
