A COMMERCIAL SENSATION.
Arrival 81 Japan Rice mt san Francisco

. charleston News and Courier
Ten DAYS ago there arrived Mt San
Francisco full cargo Of Japan rice.
containing some .250,oo pounds. This
is the first arrival of the product that
has taken place in several years, and we
learn that but few cargoes have ever
been received at any port in this coun-
try. The San Francisco Bulletin says
The rice has since been recleaned ut
the local mill. and presents handsome
appearance, comparing favorably with
the Carolina received from the Eastern
States and the Hawaiian crop from
Carolina seed. The grain is short,
thick and pearly white. Importers
have been Offering 1t at 6(n7 cents
in mats and bags, and have
placed small lots among the trade.
The balance of the cargo was unexpect-
edly put on the market through the auc-
tion room at San Francesca. The guam
tity named on the catalogue is 5000 bags.
There was good attendance OF buyers.
including o large number Of Chinese
merchants and brokers. Indeed this
class formed fifty per cent of the mum
Der present, and We'd with the Euro
peans in the bids rendered the auction
eer. A credit of 60 days was offered on
purchases Of 100 bags, or its equivalent
In mats 30 days for 500 bags, and four
months for 1000 bags A lot OF 100 bags
was first put up and started at &c, the
bid being subsequently raised to So 55
per 100 pounds. A Chinese merchant was
the purchaser. The price being fixed,
and the assurance being given that the
importers would not sell pound after
the sale under &C for at least thirty days,
some 1850 bags, OF 100 lbs each, were dis
tributed among thirteen houses at IS IS
per 100 ibs. One house took 500 bags. an
other $50 bags, and the remainder 100
bags each. The same rice, in SO lbs mats,
was then offered, and 200 mats sold to a
Chinese buyer at $5 374 per 100 pounds.

Every one knows that cabbages will
not grow fast or head out well unless
they are hoed very often. Most have
also learned that this crop does the best
it hoed very early in the morning. while
the dew is on the ground. Hoeing later
in the day, when the dew has evapora-
ted. will not have the same effect. The
reasons appear to be these. The dew
being covered with soil. is retained. and
helps keep the earth moist 1t contains
q large amount Of oxygen, which it took
from the air. These act to decompose
the soil aud to hasten the growth of
plants. It also absOrbs large quantity
Of ammonia. which is directly taken up
by the plant. Now the same cause ought
to produce the same effects on other
plants, and it has been found by observ-
ing farmers that they do. Market gar
deners prefer to have potatoes hoed
either when the soil is wet with dew or
after slight rain,
Observations made by one Of the best
farmers in Wisconsin, extending
through many years, convinced him
that there was great advantage in plow-
ing land while it was wet with dew. Es-
pecially was this the case when clover
or grass was plowed under. 1t was
found that the grass and sod rotted
much sooner, and that the succeeding
crops were larger and of better quality.

WASHINGTON, May 16.-No sooner has
Blaine broken through one network
than his enemies come down with new
warp and wool to tie his limbs In the
Presidential race. There has been
placed In possession OF one OF the COM
mittees allegations which, II proven,
would damn Blaine beyond redemption,
but, terrific rs these stories are. they
are, like all the others, mere assertions,
and since they are to be tested they may
as well be related Some days ago A. 2.
Robinson, who was chief engineer Of
the Fort Smith and Arkansas road. ad-
dressed u letter to q Democratic mem
Der Of the House. in which he said that
il he were promised immunity he would
give testimony that would show that
BLAINE WAS A DISHONEST MAN.
He then declared that he had some four
years ago paid to Blaine in a private
room i'm the capitol, in the presence of
ex Senator Rice, $21 900 in bonds of the
road. for which no consideration was
paid. Ex Senator Rice to-day gave
member of the Arkansas delegation a
confirmation of this story of Robnson's.
After this information was furnished by
Robinson. the statutes were examined,
and when it was discovered that the
statute Of limitations would bar any ac-
tion against Robinson. more than three
years having elapsed, no action was
necessary to secure him immunity.
Robinson will arrive here on Wednesday
to testify. Chief Justice Mcclure. of
Arkansas, who Is here, says that
HE HAS HEARD THIS STORY
of Robnson's before, and that it has
been strongly eorroborated to him. He,
however. knows nothing OF il person
ally. This incredible story cannot be
brought before the Judiciary Commit
tee without an additional resolution in
the House. Unless unanimous consent
can be obtained this will have to wait
until Monday. Meanwhile other stories
about Blaine are accommodating. Gen.
Hunton has been furnished by alleged
trustworthy authority with memo
randa of the payments of money to
Blaine. This has been copied and the
original memoranda destroyed in the
presence of two members of the House.
This memoranda comprises a heap Of
documents. large enough to fill an ofdi-
nary volume Of congressional reports.
What it all amounts TO will be deter
mined by investigation.

whether the victory of our clever coun-

American talent or British dullness.

astrous as it was dazzling. Among the
blind, the one-eyed blinkard reigns. and
having had his weather optic etfectually

that he should have proved his keen
ness Of vision in England. While recog-
nizing his nascent talent as a tinancier.

We are now having delightful weather.

in size and favor.

The weather now is all that planters
can desire. After the rains OF a few
days ago we have had the finest kind Of
growing weather and the clear, bright
sunshine has had the effect of bringing
forward vegetation very rapidly. The
corn crops have been generally worked
over and the cotton is being rapidly
scraped to stand. The prospect at
present in this county for fine crops is
very good and we sincerely hope that
the planting interests may receive no

Rces on a small scale.

There are many householders whose
means will not enable them to buy q
COW, or provide keeping for her were
they in possession of one. But they may
be equal to the purchase Of colony Of
bees and provide hives for the swarms
therefrom. Bees, like other stock, re-
quire pasturage. but, unlike horses.
cattle and sheep, they are free common
ers, ranging at will in search of stores,
nor can they be arrested and punished
for their intrusion on premises, alias
their owners. A single colony of bees,
in good condition in the spring, may be
counted upon double or treble their
numbers in a single season, securing
ample stores for winter consumption,
while supplying gratifying surplus
each autumn for household uses. This
accumulation will prove most accept
able in families, especially while the
price of butter rules so high as to place
1t beyond the reach OF those not blessed
with elongated and plethoric purses.
