SIR
In the last number of your esteem
cd paper " An Advocate Of Industry"
proposes that the labourers should
cultivate sugar canes in Eastend,
hoping, that the factory thea will
build a station there. | ~sympathize
perfectly with the esteemed writer, but
Shall at the same time call to his
attention, that it is possible to cult
waite, and cultivate with advantage,
many other things than canes, and
your correspondent quite rightly
observes, that until a Factory station
is built, it is nearly impossible for
the growers to get their canes sold.
On the other hard sale can easily
be found for vegetables Of various
kinds. | have often been surprised
TO find so little of that kind Of thing
cultivated, as we have not only Il
good market on the spot, but also in
St. Thomas, with which place we ale
in constant communication.
1t seems to me therefore that, for
the present at least, the cultivation Of
vegetables ought to be encouraged,
partly hat they might be procurable
in better quality as we'll rs in greater
variety, and partly to assist the
labourers in their efforts to help
themselves.
AS a means Ct Encouraging this kind
Of cultivation it has occurred to methat
a horticultural exhibition might short
Iy be held in Christiansted, to which
The labourers should be invited to send
samples oftheir produce. and al which
prizes should be given for the best Of
the various kinds. The necessary
money for these prizes could be raised
by subscriptions, from those persons
who share my views in the matter; and,
in the hope that you, Nh. Editor, will be
willing to act as the Treasurer for
such subscriptions, | beg you to
receive SIS as my contribution.
Should this proposal meet with
sufficient support, it will be necessary
for the subscribers to draw up a pro-
gramme for the exhibition, fix the
prizes to be given in each case, draw
up rules for the competitors, and to
arrange all the details.
Hoping that you will give the
matter your support,
[ remain yours truly

are no less than three Generals, and
very great jealousy exists on account
of General Etienne and his Susa
column carrying off the honours of
the surrender. We IRE, | believe,
treated with the gloomy prospect of
being perpetually quartered at Kair-
wan in consequence. The contrast
between the facilities given to cores
pondents by General Etienne and the
treatment they received with the Com
mander-in-C Chief is a very marked
one. Wenow hear Of fourth column

will be delayed as we'll as that of the

W hat was pretty generally pre-
dicted has happened. On the 9th
one of the smaller subdivisions of
the Slass tribe attacked Messaken;
on the knirwan road, but was ulti-
mately beaten off. Among the as
s%aiIants were some messengers of tina
Nefet tribe, sent by Ali Ben Khalifa
to entreat the Arabs to remain firm,
as they might Don expect powerful
aid from TripoIi. Nothing will change
the common belief entertained by the
Arabs on this subject. Messengers
arriving to-day report the presence of
armed Arab messengers,o of whom four
ware Tunisian soldiers, two natives
of Susa, and two natives of Kairwan.
They had been sent with dispatches
from kairWan to Susa, but returned
to Kairwan, declaring they had been
pillaged en- route. Money being found
on them, and completely with the in
sursents being suspected, they were
Immediately tried by courtmartiat
and shot. 1t appears that Ali Ham
mara, the celebrated Arab chief
killed at Kala Piccola, was buried
with great pOmp at Kairwan be-
fore the French arrived there.
Nearly all the Kairwan townspeople
have the same origin rs the Slass

of Kairwan have been arrested by
the French. The Tebessa column
is now a days march from Kairwan."
1t is said that General Etienne
may lose his command for entering
Kairwan before General Saussier's
arrival. 1t is to be hoped that wiser
counseIs will prevail. The march of
the Susa column and Colonel Mou-
Inns arran Scments after the occupa-
ton of this town would lead any one

a military feat OF extraordinary diff

The principal barracks of the city
were occupied by the French troops
yesterday. General Lambert has
also taken up his abode in The Oar
eI-Bey. The Bey's proclamation has
entirely failed to calm the excitement
among the Arabs. Nothing will
induce them to realize the futility of
the hopes they entertain of active
assistance from the Sultan. The in
cursion into the Regency of a num-
Der of Tripolitan frontier tribesmen,
to which | referred some days since,
has undoubtedly given colour to ex-
pectations which are in entire accord
with religious and historical tradi-

severe fighting did really occur with

Sier's column. The Arabs finally

named Mohamed LediIe. The French
loss was by no means slight. Many
wounded men were brought to
Manouba. The main body of the

the camp at Manouba yesterday and
noticed that about 80 burials had
taken place there during the past
week and that IA new graves were
in course of preparation. The Arabs
are now in the mountain districts
south and southwest OF Kairwan.
A council of the chiefs will be held
t. decide their future movements, as
it is IN leratood that some desire to
march towards Cabes and Tripoli,
while others advocate a retreat to
Earmsila, two days journey in the
Sahara.
| am enabled to furnish the precise
details Of the circumstances which
led to the abrupt termination Of the
International Commission sitting at
Sfax to examine the claims for losses
sustained during the bombardment
and subsequent occupation of hat
place by the French. 1t appears
that after the examination into the
particulars Of the different claims
preferred, very strong evidence was
forthcoming as to the losses having
resulted from the culpable conduct of
the French soIdiery during the mill
tary operations. The French Com
missioners unexpectedly declined to
hear testimony on this point, This
decision at once provoked a diver
gence Of opinion, whereupon the
President declared the Commission
dissolved. 1t is understood that the
different Commissioners will make
separate reports to their respective
Governments.

THE NEXT CABINET.
The Material of Which It Will Probably
BE Formed.


New YORK, Nov. 26.-The Times Wash
ington correspondent in "Talk about the
cabinet" says: The present head of the state
department, Secretary Blaine, will retire on o.
before January 1, and there are good reasons
for believing that he will be succeeded by ex-
Senator F. T. Frelinghuysen, of New Jersey.
This has become so well understood that the
question as to Blaine's successor no longer
excites speculation. The present head of the
war department will probably continue to oc-
cupy that position throughout President
Arthur's term. For the four other
places to be filled the names
Of only little handful of men are mentioned
and it is very probably the positions will be
filled out of this number. This handful OF
gentlemen is composed of ex-senator ]. B.
Chaffee, of Colorado; ex-senator Timothy O..
Howe, of Wisconsin; ex-senator A. A. Sar-
gent, of California; ex-Secretary s. Boutwell,,
of Mass; C. j. Filley, of Missouri; ex.Mar-
shal w. w. Dudley, of Indiana, now commits
sioner of PENSIONS; General Ed. F. Beale,
of Washington; Emory A. Storrs,
of Illinois, Gen. Longstreet, Of Georgia, Judge
Settle, of North Carolina, Ex- Gov. Davis, OF
Texas. There are some indications that Chat
fee will secure the post-office department, and
it is believed by well-informed persons that
Col. Dudley will succeed Kirkwood. Ex-Sec-
retary Boutwell, is more prominently talked Of
for attorney general, and southern man for
the navy department.

Ho,r to Select a T,srkeu,

In selecting turkey look for one that
is fat and it will certainly be tender. Old
birds are scrawny and have dark flesh
and long hairs. Break the breast bone
easily and it is young bird, but you are
not like that aesthetic
'sMiss Pallas Eudora Won Blurkey,
Who didn't know chicken from turkey,
High Spanish and Greek
She could fuently speak,
But her knowledge of poultry was murky."
When the bird is young the feet and
spurs are supple. Never select one with
out being sure it is not musty. Itshould
be dry picked and smell sweet and fresh.
1t is not the dealers place to point out
the dement's Of his wares, and unless he
is exceptionally honest and high minded,
or knows you as good customer, he will
not prevent you from selecting a spoiled
fowl or one that is not fresh, which is
about the same.

AERIAL NAVIGATION.
Hashagen's Account of His Voyage With
Prof. King.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 26.-Mr. Hashagen, OF
the signal service corps, who made balloon
ascension from Chicago with Prof. King, has
submitted a written report giving an account
of his trip and experience, but he does not
enter into minutely scientific discussion
After giving an account of the ascension, the
report says: "At 5:35 p. M, at an elevation
of 1880 feet above the sea leyel,we arose above
the town and seemed in contrast to
be bacalmed, but were very slowly
moving westward. There may have been not
a calm but diminution of buoyancy occa-
stoned by entering stratum of air in which
a weight of the balloon displaced the air, and
ried out by an increase of density or force OF
velocity. On Friday morning the balloon
passed over Platte Mounds ard circulated
among the mounds as though drawn by
force of inspiration and kept us half an hour
dancing in circular attendance, when we were
compelled to use ballast to escape. This was
probably due to current of cold air circulat-
ing in the valley and perhaps in greater meas
ure to the force of gravity excercised by the
continued rising and reached our
highest elevation $500 feet at 1915 a. m..
passing all the while through solid mass OF
stratum and numbers of clouds over $500
feet in thickness. At certain elevations sounds
could be plainly heard and distinguished; at
at $500 steamboat whistle was heard as
plainiy as though but block distant.
Sailing in groove at l2:55 p. m. we began
to rapidly descend, falling for several minutes
at the rate of 500 feet per minute. At about
1880 p. m. we found ourselves floating over a
small swift-running river, and could plainly
hear falls below US. High pines on either
side of the river formed walls hemming IN the
current of air. So we sailed up the middle
of the stream, about ten or fifteen
feet above the water. After sailing
on in this way for about quarter of an hour
an opening in the west bank was reached into
which the balloon sailed. Not more than
half mile from the river was a cranberry
bog, into which we descended~and collapsed
the balloon.
The report then gives an account of the diff
ficulties in getting out of the bog, which par
ticulars have been published.

Of the utmost anxiety, and calculated to in
spire the greatest disappointment and dissatis-
faction both as regards the rights of property
and preservation of order. Despite severe
coercion, cases OF outrages were still rife,
and it is impossible to exercise the

decided by the land commission were precise
ly those contemplated by the land act, but the
decisions will be subject to revision and when
ordinary Irish estates were before the court.
general reductions of rent would probably not

BY the early morning train yesterday reached
this city MIR. R. Denne, general agent of the
Silsby fire engine manufacturing company,
and Mr.. James T. Teller, the engineer who is
to work the engine in the competitive test.
As before stated, the Silsby machine has
been here for two weeks past, but
it came here dismantled as to head
lights, etc., greatly detracting from
its general appearance. All this will be remi-
died before the trial, so that when that takes
place it is certain these will be two of the
handsomest engines ever brought into COM
petition in this country. The real merits of
each will be decided by the trial.
