SITUATION AND SOIL FOR a GARDEN.

---~--~~--~--~-~-~---~--~-
SITUATION AND SOIL FOR a GARDEN.
The most suitable situation is very
gentle inclination towards the east or
southeast, that it may have all the advan-
tagcs OF the morning sun. All good gar
deners take pride in having early crops,
and this inclination insures an early ma
turity to the vegetable. A northeastern
aspect is to be avoided, as our worst storms
are from that direction. A northwestern
exposure, though cold and late, is less la
BILE to injury from late aud early frosts, as
vegetation in such situation is sheltered
somewhat from the rising sun, and does
not suffer so much if it becomes slightly
frozen. 1t is not the frost that Injuries the
plants so mu,h as the direct heat of the
sun falling upon the frozen leaves and
blossoms. Cabbage, caulifower, spinnage,
lettuce and other salads, are much more
easily brought to perfection in northern
exposure. Many Of these, in the more
southern climates, run up to seed immedi
too, is usually much richer, and will retain
Its fertility longer, other things being equal,
in northern exposure. 1t is a great ad-
vantage, if the garden slope at all, to have
it slope in more than one direction, giving
choice of exposure, and generally also of
soil, as 1t is thus adapted to both early and
late crops. When the drainage is good,
level is not undesirable, but whatever the
situation or aspect, the surface must be
smooth and level. Care should be taken
that the productiveness of the garden is
not diminished by the proximity of large
trees, which are injurious by their drip, to
all plants beneath them, and by their shade
and extended roots, to those more remote.
In selecting the grounds, it is Of the ut
most importance, to have the soil of
healthy quality, being mellow, dry and ca.
pable of being worked with spade. The
The best soils are of trable loamy nature

of stiff clayey description. 10 a garden

bic. And the best soil for general purposes
is a loan of medium texture, arising from
q suitable admixture of the two, as they
reciprocally correct the mistakes of each
other, and with the addition of organic
matter, form soil suited to the cultivation
of nearly all garden productions. Any
soil, with judicious culture, draining and
manures, can be converted into such
loam.--Ie'ry's Catalogue.

RELATIVE AGRICULTURAL INDUSTRIES.

According to the census of ISL, Eng
land and Wales contain a population of
%, 49, 66. The census of 1870 shows
the population of the United States to be
So, 500, 0S3. There were tLen in England
and Wales, 2I9, 307 farmers, and in the
United States, 2,0S4, 299 farmers. Thus
only one in 90 are farmers in England,
and about one in thirteen in the United
States.
There is vast opening yet for this
country in the direction of manufacturing.
This is e>pee ly' true Of the West. While
agriculture is truly the basis of national
wealth, no nation ever Yet became rich ex
porting the raw material, especially of
agricultural products. Manufacture them
into beef, pork, mutton, wool, butter and
cheese. Thus we may lessen
railroad freights, and reap the profits of
manufacture.

Pinchback's Back Pay.

The Washington correspondent OF the
Boston Irareller writes:
The Senate Committee on Privileges and
Elections have reported fayOrably upon
Pinchback's application for pay and mile
age during the time the question as to his
admission to the Senate was pending.
In their report they say that the great
length of time that has elapsed between the
beginning of the term for which Mr.. Pinch
back was contestant and the date OF the
final determination of that contest by the
Senate, as also the remarkably close vote
by which the contest was decided, have i'm.
pressed them with the belief that the full
measure of the compensation which the
uniform action of the Senate heretofore has
given to contestants should be allowed In
this case. They refer to the recognition OF
the Legislature which elected Pinchback by
the Louisiana courts. by President Grant
and by the national House of Representa-
tiyes, in admitting Congressman to seats
under certificates issued by Governor hel'
logg, and say there were ample reasons Ior
Pinchback to persist in his application 1or
admission to the Senate during the tnree
years his application was pending before
that body. A..

Plnchback be allowed an amount e4nal 10

of Representatives one branch OF the
Congress, IN which ia vested the legislative
power Of government, to require of the ex-
ecutive an independent branch of the gov
ernment, coordinate with the Senate and
House of Representatives, an account OF
his discharge of his appropriate and partly
executive offices, acts and duties, either az
to when, where, or how performed. Wnat
as a right in its demand upon the executive
for information, is limited to what
is necessary for the proper discharge
of it's powers Of legislation or OF lmpeach-
ment. The inquiry in tie resolution OF the
House as to where executive acts nave,
within the last seven years, been performed,
and at what distance from any particular
spot, or for how long period at any one
time, etc., does not necessarily belong to
the province of legislation. It does not
profess to be asked for that object. If
this information be sought through an
inquiry of the President as to his ex-
ecutive acts in view or in aid OF the
power of impeachment vested in the House,

natural right, recognized in this country by

The Broken Cables.

NEW YORK, May 4.-There is difficulty
with the cables between Nova Scotia and
Newfoundland and Hearts Content
1t is ascertained that the cable brooks
somewhere between North Sydney, the ter
minus of the Western Union lines, and
Placentia, a short distance this side Of
Hearts Content, where deep sea cables arc
landed.
At about five o'clock last night there ware
breaks in the two lines from North Sydney
to Placentia district, one of which is $50
and the other $50 miles long: also two lines
same number from the latter place to Pla-
centia. Both Of these and one of the Direct
wires above mentioned broke a few days
ago, since which time vessels have been
engaged in graphing for the broken ends.
Ne test had been made up to midnight by
which the location of the last break could
be ascertained.
The French cable broke about 200 miles
this side of Brest on April &c, and has not
yet been repaired; thus all communication
with Europe, except by the Direct cable,
has been temporarily suspended.
At three O'Clock this evening the Western
Union Telegraph Company received il
formation that the cable that has beea un-
dergOing repairs for some days past be-
tween St. Pierre and Placentia will prob
ably be in working condition this eve 3,
