Honest Mr.. Hayes.

We have been constantly assured OF the
honesty Of Mr.. HAYES: whatever doubt
there might he Of his ability there could he
none of his strict integrity. Indeed he was
held up as man of uncommon scruplcs and
consclcntiousncss He was not only one
who, if in his childhood he had cut down II
cherry tree, would have told of 1t like little
GHoRGE; he would have done better he
would not have cut down the cherry tree at
all. And as he was when boy, such he had
grown up
Now, how has Mr. HAYES shown his hon
esiy since he entered upon the office of
President He himself admits that he
induced Gen. GARFIELD to withdraw for the
Ohio Scnatorship. by encouraging his hopes
of being made Speaker Of the United States
House Of Representatives. What manner of
man Gen GARFIELD is, has been established
hy Congressional investigation into his
connection with the Credit Mubilier. The
official report Of the committee convicted
him Of corruption and false swearing.
Such l. the candidate Of this Honest Mr.
HAYES for Speaker Of the un.t,I States

h's report Of the sanitary state of the
British metropolis during the past year.
This summary of the number Of births and
deaths which occurred in 1876 Is supple
ricntcd with an inquiry into the causes Of
mortality. and an analysis Of the document
will cNhibit some interesting details.
We may begin with citing some statistics
which have an obvious bearing on the main
topic. For example, the area of the So
called metropolitan district IS nearly eighty
thousand acres, and the aggregate length of
the streets il about fifteen hundred miles.
The population dwell at mean altitude of
twelve yards above high-watcr mark. the
extremes being ten feet below that level In
Plumstcad marsh and one hundred and
thirty-iive yards above IL at Hampstead.
The annual renting value OF London real
estate based on the official appraiscment
for taxation, was computed for December,
1876, at rather more than one hundred and
sixteen millions Of dollars. The latest cen
sus was taken in 1871 and It's figures there
fore do not represent present facts hut the
actual population during the pnst year is
estimated 10y the Rcgistrar-Gcucral at three
and Il half millions IN round numbers. or If
We include clo-e-lyug suburbs. four millions
mud quarter. the excess of females over
males being not less than two hundred and
twenty thousand In the metropolitan dis
tIict. The number of inhabited houses, not
counting those of the suburbs, reaches il6,
900, giving on an average seven and eight
tenths persons to each house. We may next
note that the births in 1876 amounted to
127,Oo0, or thrty--ix and fvc-tcnths i'm every
thousand, and, what is curious in view OF
another fact above mentioned, there were
almost three thousand more boys than girls.
Lastly. the deaths In the same period aggrc-
gated 77,Jo. showing mean ratio Of twenty
two and three-tcnth- per thousand: and
here, too We observe that the number Of
males was some twenty-five hundred in
excess.

SWEET PoTATOEs.-Andn now is the time
for the potato patch, as We call it. Plough
your intended potato patch two or three
times before setting out draws. Having it
in rows. Plough and reverse, getting the
soil in fine tith. When the time is near
for setting out, take single shovel plough,
open your beds to the depth of three inches,
put little pure stable manure in the trench
and await the rain. If the rain does not
come, set out with water-half pint to
each hill-the earth being pressed firmly
around the potato root, aud little dry dirt
sprinkled around the top ground. Next is
the setting out--somc say one foot, some say
two feet apart say four inches.
The best cultivation is to plough to your
potato all the time, pulling tho earth up
around the little plants with the hoe the
first working. Never bar off, thereby saw.
ing tho small roots which make potatoes,
and saving one.half the ploughing.
In 1876, made $50 bushels sweet pota-
to ,s on one half acre Of land by this mode
giving one hoeing, or pulling up with the
hoe, and ploughing to the potato.--R. L..

THE DUTY OF FARMERS IN VIEW OF THE
IMPENDING EUROPEAN WAR.
STATE OF GEORGIA, y
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE,
ATL&TA, April II. 1871.
To the Farmers of Georgia

To the Farmers Of Georgia
In view of the threatened war in the East
which seems now to be unavoihble--it
becomes us as prudent men to avert as far as
possible, its disastrous effects upoh our in
dustrics by wise forecast in our fI run econ
omy.
The indications now are that there will
be protractcd war, involving the leading
powers of Europe, the necessary consequence
Of which will be a rapid advance 10 the price
of all food supplies.
Even the ''rumor of war" has already
caused an apprcciable advance in meats and
breadstuffs, and decline in our great staple
COTTON. Uuusuaily lerge r1hipsncntsss sf
provisions to the various European ports are
already reported, aud must continue SO long
as the war lasts
The foreign demand for cotton may be
greatly reduced, and its price fall below even
its present low figures.
In view of those facts, the farmers of
Georgia arc urged to increase their areas in
provision crops. 1t is not yet too late to
increase the area in corn, even if it has to
be done by red icing tho area in cottou-
Let farmers plant enough corn to insure an
ample supply for the ensuing year. Let
them plant crops for their hogs, and forcc
them forward to secure, as nearly as possible,
a supply of bacon for home consumption
Let them plant literally in German millet
and field peas to supplement their corn crop
in feeding stock, in order that more of their
corn may be used for bread.
IF the war should be averted-of which
there is at present little probability-we will
haye lost nothing by the above policy if
not, We will have provided against the pos
sibility of loss or suffering. In either event.
those who adopt the above advice will have
nothing to regret, while those who do not
may be compelled to purchase provisions at
ruinously high prices, and pay for them
with cotton at prices even below the cost Of
production. Very respectfully, !
THOMAS p. JAMES,
Commissioner Of Agriculture.

FIRST WORKING OF CoRN.-lf the land
has been packed by rain since the corn was
planted, run close and break deep-if the
land is close and open, the ploughing is not
important. In that event use plows that
will 60 over rapidly:and save labor--a shovel,
or sweep, or cultivator will answer. Avoid
throwing much dirt to the young corn, only
enough to cover up any young grass that
may be present, but be sure it is well COW
cred much hoeins will not pay in corn
crop, the plow alone ought very nearly to
make it-of course thinning and some chop
ping is generally unavoidable. Thin to a
stand as soon as danger of frost and worm
is over. Nothing is more prejudicial to a
plant than having another plant with the
same wants growing beside 1.-THE struggle
for existence then becomes intensified. II
the middles are not very hard or foul, and
time presses, they need not be ploughed Out
at this working. In any event push OF
rapidly to give cotton its first working jus
as soon as it will bear it. The farmer VIII,
keeps well ahead, not only stands the bes
chance to make the best crops, but will d
it with very much less actual labor than tn
1aggard. Let it never be forgotten that tn
time to kill grass is before it can be seen
Besides, every one knows that early ant
frequent workings make cotton grow Of
rapidly-and an early growth of stalk is on
of the surest antcccdents of q large crop o
bolls.

CUTTING Our BOYS ToNGUE.-A few
weeks ago man presented his son, boy of
about twelve years, to our surgeons for treat
ment. The case was a novel one, the child
being afflicted with enlargement of the
tongue His father hailed from Williamson
county, and stated that he came to San An
tonic to consult our surgeons, as those of
Austin, Galveston, and New Orleans, to
whom he had applied, had demanded oxor-
bitant fees. DR.. Herff informed the troubled
father that he would endcavor to cure his
son of tho excrescence, and sympathizing
with him in his trouble, and the child in his
pain, the father being poor man, he offered
to perform the operation at most reasona.
able charge. The citizens Of Williamson
county charitably raised the means to pay
for the operation. 1t was executed Wed
nes6ay, under DR.. Herff's care, others aid
ing him. About four inches of tongue were
taken off. The extreme end, which ha.
been preserved in alcohol, would weigl

much more was cut off in small bits. 1t i

operation, which called into re9uisition tn
