Flat Culture for Potatoes.

A correspondent of the Country
Gentleman writes: Several years ago l
became a convert to fiat culture for
potatoes, and every season convinces
me that this mode is preferable to the
forming of hills around the plants.
This season, being a very moist one In
this section, fully demonstrated with
me that in moist as well as dry seasons
fiat culture is the better of the two
Just across the fence from my potato
patch was Il field of my neighbours, Of
about four acres, planted about ten
days before mine. The ground is alike
on both patches-clayey loan. My
neighbor manfred more literally than
did. He adopted the hill method of
culture, and | the fiat method. In the
early part of the season his made a
much more vigorous growth than
mine; in fact the foliage in his field
covered the ground before mine had
begun TO grow. AS the season adj

On q Friesland Boat.

1t was pleasant to take notes Of the
various little pictures made by the
tangle of brown-sailed, broad-beamed
craft. We had even time to observe
the lightsome and free ways of the
Dutch female sailor-not Economically
disguised as q boy, but sporting a dis
tinct (tarry more or less) costume of her
own; not so very different either from
the real boy-or rather, his dress, in
one important particular, is rather a
lame imitation of hers. He wears a
pair of baggy breeches so very volumin-
Gus and petticoaty that one has to turn
to other peculiarities of dress in order
to be on the safe side of judgment.
There is one way Of telling the boy
from the girl, however, as far as you
can see them, as he does deal of Wig
orous looking on and smoking, while
she does some very pretty pulling and
hauling and polling the boat about, in
harbor especially. We saw one athletic
young maiden shy coil of rope for a
youth on another boat to catch. He
did not get his hands out of his capa-
cious pockets quickly enough, so the
rope caught him playfully about the
ears; whereupon ensued rafting in
ter-change of compliments probably
between these two at first, and then
the female sailor belonging to the Tub
ber's boat "sailed into use strictly
nautical term; and then it soon deyel-
oped into partie carree, as the old
man at the rudder of the rope-slinging
maiden's boat opened fire. He was a
master-hand at profanity, that aged
mariner. 1t was just getting hot and
deeply interesting to us on-lookers,
when our boat drew out, with well
directed broadside of invective from
our crew, bestowed impartially and
literally on all concerned, for not get
ting out of the way.-Ha1per'S Maya

night there was letter drafted in which
Judge Foraker invited JudgeiHoadley to
meet him at Portsmouth August IA, to
open up series of joint debates, but this
has not as yet been passed. Judge Hoad-
ley is said to have heard quite enough of
this challenge business and has written to
one in authority here giving the date
for which he has no enpapements
and authorizing him to arrange for the
meeting at any time if the state commit
tee saw fit. 1t is suggested that Hoadlev
and Foraker should be allowed to continue
attending their respective county and
other conceptions, and after there sare all
over then come together in the heat of the
campaign. 1t seems there are quite a
number of these hindrances which are the
means of delaying these debates. AS the
campaign Is to DO opened all along the
line in September it is proposed to arrange
for other joint debates at that time. as
this will be an excellent way to get the

LILY AND'HER FLOAT.
[Sequel to Lily's William GoatI
BY JACKSON sLocUM.
Lily has struck another float,
His frontispiece name is Joseph;
He's crossed with her the salty sea,
And everybody knows it.
Sly Joseph took Cunarder,
Ahead of Billy Window;
But Lilly's trunks were all on board,
Checked for Victoria's kingdom.
Then Freddy Gebhart, Lily's friend,
Stood on the lone dock swearing;
Wishing he had those duca is back,
Which paid for Lily starring,
But Lily only smoled smile
And winked her black eyes tandem;
And shrieked across the mackerel waves,
81 new am Joseph's Injun.''
Then Joseph donned his Sunday coat,
And held her sun umbrella;
Or pinned her mantle round her throat,
In cool and windy weather;
Steadied her feet on promenade deck,
From oceans frantic swells,
And after dark they oft were out
Half-past the seven bells.
They watched the dolphin's sportive leap,
Their gambols swift and cranky,
Unmindful of poor Fred Gebhart
Or legal consort Langtry
In six days suns and six nights moons,
Old Albion's shores they sighted,
When Joseph all at once grew glum,
While Lily grew delighted.
For on the pier stood Langtry dear,
With smiles most tantalizing,
Waiting to heaft his Lily's gold,
Caught by free advertising
Then Joseph took a handsom cab,
Sad and alone and single,
And Lily took the next steamboat
To Jersey with her jingle.
