| have been very much interested
III my interviews with farmers and
'struckn raisers who visit the EXPOSE
tor. AS a rule they are l~istless, dead
people, the women being by
far the most wide-awake. I judge the
people to whom / refer are small land
holders who do very little work with
their own hands, but employ a few la
borers at low wages to "make" their
corn and cotton. The large planters
who farm thousands of acres are a very
different class. The small farmers
are not readers, they know little OF,

own State, a few of them are glad of
the opportunity afforded by the EXPOSE
ton to bring their families thus III con.
tact with the great unknown world OF
agriculture, art and knowledge OF all
kinds. They are surprised at the x
cellence and variety of kinds, of corn
shown from New Jersey, and invariably
beg hard for some of the large ears of
the "Chester Co. MAMMOTH" or some
other equally large yellow dent corn.
Like some others they judge of the
value of a variety of corr by the size
and length of the ears, and they listen
with incredulity to me when / tell them
that our best farmers prefer generally
a smaller cared variety, like the "Leam-
ing,n for example. I have had many
an opportunity to give a lesson in Sc
lecting seed corn, which | hope will be
of use to those well meaning people
who are SO greatly behind the times in
matters of their own vocation. The
fact is, very few farmers select seed
corn to suit me.-Col. Weld in Ameri-

Governed by Women.

Among the colonial possessions. or
more correctly, dependencies OF Hol-
land, there is q remarkable little State
which, in it's constitution aud original
costume of it's inhabitants. snrpasses
the boldest dreams of the advocates OF
.women's rights. In the island OF Java,
between the cities of Batavia and Sam
arang, is the kingdom of Bantam,
which, although tributary to Holland,
is an independent State. The sover-
eign is indeed q man, but all the rest
of the Government belongs to the fair
sex. The king is entirly dependent
upon his State council. The highest
authorities, military commanders and
soldiers, are, without exception. OF the
female sex. These Amazons eide
in the masculine style wearing sharp
steel points, instead of spurs. They
carry a pointed lance which they swing
very gracefully, and also a musket,
which is discharged at full gallop. The
capital of this little State lies in the
most picturesque part of the island, in
a fruitful plain, and is defended by
two we'll kept fortresses.
