WEST INDIA AND AUSTRALIAN
SUGAR PLANTATION.
From the Sugar Canc.-COncluded.)

We are further indebted to our contem-
porary, The Queenstander. for the follow.
ing interesting Information, communicated
to that paper by Mr.. Angus Mackay, the
Queensland Commissioner to the Centen.
NAL Exhibition, W. are also in posses
sion, from the same source, OF detailed
reports OF the Commissioners visit to the
sugar populations Of Louisiana and his
second visit to the West Indies, which we
shall have the pleasure OF reproducing in o
future issue o! The Sugar Cane. They
are NJ pst minute and reliable, Mr., Mackay
b,ing himself a practical planter, as we'll
as a talented and painstaking Journalist
We have been put in possession OF the
following series Of questions, sent by the
Logan Cane.grovers' Association TO our
Queensland Commissioner. In order to
solve them, and at the same time to see
W.st India sugar.cane at its best in the
growing season, Mr.. Mackay made a
rapid visit to the French Islands, va
Bermuda. 1t was not the season when
Europeans choose to travel In the West
Indies. The climate. during summer,
is anything but healthy. But Mr.. Mackay
desired to see the system of cultivation, In
order to form something ike hxed opln-
ions, and to furnish full data after q longer
stay in the approaching winter season.
Ths questions and answers speak for them
selves, and lead us to a belief that informa-
ton of the most minute and very valuable
character will be placed at the disposal OF
the Queenslanders when the Commissioner
has opportunity to work out all the details.
The notes were written out on board ship
at sea, and are consequently crude; but
they are very definite and candid, and
leave an impression that while in the
midst of universal depression in the sugar
industry the French islands are still pros
porous, that prosperity is due more to
the marked industry of the people than
to any special superiority they have in
climate or soil. At an early date we hope
TO have the full teat Of Mr.. Mscksy's visit

tors who supply the central factory
with cane ?-Answer. Small landed
proprietors and %lessees ; from S acres

cane, or have they other crops in Gull

The Washington County Fair opened last Wedneseay.
 Yell county raises large pota- toes. Capt. J. K. Perry, of Darda nelle, has shown the Independent Arkansian man three sweet potatoes weighing r pounds; one of them raising the beam at 64 pounds.
 Yell county, through her county clerk, notifies all parties against whom indictments may be pending that said indictmeets are kept locked up in a large iron fire proof safe, and it will be useless to attempt to de stroy them by burning the court house, as was done in Logan county.
 The Alma Herald reports crop of one half an acre of sweet potatoes, in Crawford county, which will yield 25O bushels.
 The colored people of Woodruff county have an agricultural and me chanical association, and they have just given their fourth annual fair.
 Jefferson county has an immi- grafton society which is alive and active, and doing good work in be- half of immigration to that county.

 An altercrtion occurred last Satur- day morning between two of our citi- zens, resulting in one of them coming out with some disagreeable bruises. Such affairs are very much to be re- gretted, and we do not see why men so far forget themselves as to adopt this brutish way of settling misunderstand- ings.
 We had the pleasure of meeting in our town on Monday last, Mir. Wolf, of the staunch house of Wolf & Brother. Little Rock. The energy and enter prise of this house comments it to all business men-not only this, but they have the BOTTOM. The house now has large trade established in this State, and they are determined to do as well for Arkansas country merchants as St. Louis or Memphis can do. Mir. Wolf went on up the Ft. Smith road looking up the trade of this section. We cheer fully recommend the house to the trade of this section, and are confident that 2 trial will demonstrate the fact that it is no use to go out of our own State for making purchases in the dry-good line.
 Mas. B. GANs.-We are pleased to see that this old advertiser of ours has taken the lead of all other dealers in their line of goods in Little Book. Three first premiums were awarded displays made by Mrs. Cans, to-wit: for best and largest display of bonnets, hats, millinery, &c.,; for best and larg- est display of patterns; and for best and largest display of artificial flowers. The Gazette says of this firm:
 By reference to the premium list 1t will be seen that the display made or hats, patterns, flowers, millinery goods, feathers, etc., by Mrs. B. Cans, re- ceived several premiums at the State Fair yesterday. This was very deserv- ed, for Mrs. Cans had one of the very finest displays eyer seen here before, and during the Fair it has attracted no little attention on the part of the visitors.
 Look out for the ad. next week.
