THE CROPS OF AscENsIoN.-Hear-
ing considerable complaint of the con-
dition of the cane crop in adjacent
parishes, and especially of the stubble
cane, we this week addressed postal
cards to several gentlemen in various
portions of Ascension inquiring as to
the condition and progress of the
growing crops in their respective vi
entities. Up to the time of going to
press we have received responses from
two of the gentlemen written to. Mr..
J. c. Cofeld, proprietor of the Point
Houmas place, in the lower part Of
the parish, right bank of the Missis-
sippi, writes that both plant and stub
BILE cane on his place are coming up
finely and promise an excellent stand.
He adds:
1t is true the cane is little late, but that
is III account of the cold Winter and Spring.
NV corn is up and looks well. The only
drawback is too much rain, which keeps us
| out of the field.
Mr.. Henry C. Brand, residing on
Mr.. Burnside's Clark or Middle
camp" place, who is necessarily con-
versant with the agricultural condition
| of q considerable extent of adjacent
lands, gives such complete and in
teresting response to our inquiry, that
we append his letter in full:

Anecdote of Senator William Upham

A writer is narrating the ludicrous mis-
takes which have occurred among public
men at Washington gives among others the
following relative to an occurrence be-
tween Senator Mangum of North Carolina
and the late Senator Upham of Vermont !:
One night Senator Mangum of North Car
olina, then president pro tempo,e of the
senate, dignifled gentleman of the old
school, had just returned from party,
when Senator Upham, senator from YER
mont, came in without any ceremony, and
took seat. The two chatted away on pol
itics, the weather, the social amusements,
ETC., until the clock on the msntle-shelf
struck one. "Really, Senator Upham, F."
said Mangum, 81 am always pleased to see
you, but really believe it is getting very
late" 81 have thought SO for some time, "
replied Upham, but he made nc movement.
Providently the half hour sounded, and
Mangum remarked; ~ thought Senator
Upham, that you had decided to go to bed,
sir ?" $50 l had, Mr.. President" answered
the Vermonter, yet he did not bulge.
Mangum stared at him in amazement, and
at last plainly said, "But why don't you
60 to your room, Senator Upham2 1t will
soon be two o'clock?" "My room, Mr..
President, why this is my room, and |
have been waiting for you to go away for
two hours past" Mangum sprang to his
feet, looked into the sleeping room ada
cent, and found that he was in Upham'e
room instead of his own. Mr.. Webster
used to enjoy joking him about his visit to
Vermont.

The PHILADELPHIA merchants, RELYING up.

The Philadelphia merchants, relying up
on peace in Europe and railroad war in
America, sold, few weeks ago, a million
and half bushels of corn, to be delivered
in April and May, at fifty-five cents o
bushel but Tom Scott and Vanderbilt
went back on them, and the car and sui
tan regarded them not-and there was
peace where there should have been war,
and war where peace should have perched
and they are now endeavoring to find
corn at seventy cents bushel with which
to fill their contracts. Moral: Put not
your trust in princes, whether Moslem,
christian or railroad.

Railways.

1t is fact not generally known that the
United States has more miles of railway
than Russia, Turkey, Germany, Austria,
Great Britain, France and Italy combined,
the total mileage of the former being near
ly 10000 miles against 76,62O miles in
those countries. OF the above named
countries Russia has more than double the
population OF the United States, Germany
about two millions greater, and Great Brit.
ain, France and Austria, severally, but q
few millions less than this country. II
these nations have all the money invested
in railways that will afford return, one
may easily understand why 30 many Amer
lean railway investments have proved
worthless.

The English reporter for the great En-
