Tho Late Koho Potato. Says a correspondent of the Rural World: I planted one acre of potates last spring, new land; planted three different kinds, Early Rose, Late Rose and Peacliblow?all receiving same treatment, planted same day and dug hjI'ih rlav nnil "RfisnU?Karlv Hose, one third acre, forty bushels dug; Peachblow, one-third acre, dug thirty bushels ; Late Rose, one-third acre, dug 125 bushels, aud did not get them clean. A man living on my place asked tho privilege of picking over the Late Rose patch, which was granted, and ho picked np eleven bushels aftor the boys were done, and fine large potatoes. I now give mode of culture : Broke ground and harrowed thoroughly ; laid off rows three nud a half feet apart; dropped poUtoes cat to two eyes, ten inches apart and covered with plow ; when the potatoes were peeping out of ground ran harrow over, and after they wye up ran double shovel through them ; when just commencing to bloom ridged with turning plow?and ranker vines I never saw grow-than my Late Rose potatoes* Tho ground was piled in rows, and when dug lay as thick as if they had been sowed. No manure used, and in corn previous year. Hungarian Groan. Hungarian grass neods warmth for its proper growth, and will resist much dry wcatber. It is therefore generally sown in July, and a crop may be taken after a crop of early sown oats, cut green for fodder. It needs rich soil, and will stand up better tban oats. For fodder, it should be sown thickly; ha? a bushel of need is not too much for an acre. If all->wcd to ripen its seed, the fodder is coarse and poor, and the hairy enve lopes of the seed irritate tho intestines of the animals that feed upon it. It is a valuable fodder when properly man #agod, and upon rich light soils will yield 'four or live tons per acre. One of its advantages is that it may be sown late and yield a second crop, succeeding rye, wheat, or oats. PliinllsK KvcrffreenH. The lost Norways I transplanted, says a correspondent, were eight feet high, moved with a ball of earth, and mulched during the summer with coarse manure, and spaded in around the trees in the fall; and mulched again the second year. In planting hedges the distance apart depends upon what is desired. If for an ornament, they should not be placed over two and one-half feet apart, and then trimmed back until thick enough on the bottom, and gradually raised to the desired height. If for wind breaks (such as are planted in the West), six and eight feet apart is bettor. My best hedge is on dry, gravelly gronnd, and although warned by my neighbors, who have lost their evergreens, I succeeded !iv flia nhnvn fronfmAnf. ami Inst, vprr fflw plants. A Ilupld Climber. Everybody -wants a rapid climbing plant in summer for covering some wall, trellis, arbor, or some unsightly object. The London Garden speaks thus of tho Physianthus Albens : "A small plant, little more than a foot high, -was planted near a wall with a warm expo sure about the end of May, and now covers five or six square yards of sur face, every joint being furnished with a raceme of pure white flowers. An easier plant to cultivate can hardly be im agined." Mr. Meehau thinks it even better for American gardens, and alludes to a plant in Chicago which covered a trellis eight feet high with hundreds of US pure WlilU', WBJLJ UUWWB. Cost of n Iiunhel ot Wheat. In 1868, says a correspondent, I had in four and a half acres. Yield, eighty ono bushels, i. c., eighteen bushels per acre. Labor and seed cost $50.04, or sixty-two and one-half cents per bushel; interest on value of land, ?50?at ten per cent., twenty-seven and seven-ninth cents per bushel; in round numbers, ninety cents per bushel. In 1809 I had nine acres in wheat. Yield, 192 bush els; twenty-one and one-eighth bushels per acre. Labor and seed cost 898.44, or fifty-one and one-fourth cents per bushel. Interest added makes seventy four and three-fourth cents per bushel. This did not pay and I stopped rais ing it. * ! What a'Schoolgirl's rocket Trill Hold.

The Opening Ceremonies. On the morning of Wednesday, May 10th, the grounds and buildings were opened to the public. The Memorial hall or Art gallery, the Main building, and the Machinery hall were reserved to the invited guests and the exhibitors until the close of the ceremonies, about noon, when all restrictions were re moved.

Playing at i ar Trumpet, It is a good thing to serve our neigh bors, especially by littlo acts of kind ness. IV.t when one is tricked into a sejvice, Lis feelings arc not always of the sort which we would call amiable. For instance : Two fishermen, out for a day's sport, were driving past a farmhouse when an old man came out and hailed them. " What is it?" asked one, as ho drew in the reins and came to a stop. "We are in a hurry." Instead of replying in words, the old man simply waved his hand, and then turniug toward hi3 fields, ho shouted, at the top of his voice : "Timothy! Timothy!" The two sportsmen looked in that direction, and saw, nearly a quarter of a mile oft', a loy cugaged in digging potatoes. Ho evidently heard the old man's voice, for, leaning upon his hoe, ho faced the house; and directly after wards came the faint sound of: "Hallo!" The old man, seeing from the boy' motion that he had been heard, shouted again, with stentorian power : " Whero is tho ox yoko ?" A response, faint, _but distinct, came back: "In the corncrib." "What did ho say?" asked the old man, turning toward the fishermen. "Ho said it was in the corncrib." " Speak louder, will ye ? I'm bard o' liearin'." They shouted the words into his ear. "Ah, thank ye! That's all. You cau drive on." Celestial Ambition. "Talking of Chinamen," said a naval officer, " reminds me of a curious thing. Tlio other day I went up town to seo (mentioning a Chineso merchant on Sacramento street). I know his wife well; used to know her in China. She's got two of the smartest littlo daughters you ever saw. Every time I go to see her she makes 'em sing for me." "Chinese songs ?" "No, sir; American songs. She's got a teacher for 'em, and they just tickle a piano now as finFas anything in the laud. Well, the last timo I was to them, the old woman says to me: ' You saoee line ueiman gene r x says: ' Yes, I sabee little German girl, what about her?' 'Well,' she says, 'you catchee me one lille Gelman gelle, me givee yon fiftee dollah.' I didn't know but what the old woman might be doing some kidnapping business, I told her pretty short I would not do it. 'I wouldn't do anything of the kind,' says I," if you paid me a thousand dollars.' Oh,' she says, 'yon no sabee. - Me no want to makee him bad gelle. Me makee liimme alio same Ah See'?that's her own eldest little girl. Why wouldn't an American girl do you ?' says I. 4 Oh,' she says, ' me no want Melican gelle; too mucheo dless, too muchee fly alound.' And do you know what the critter's idea is ?" said the naval gentleman, reaching for his companion's tobacco box. " Why, she thinks that by getting a lit tic? ua uiau B11X u11u> iicj. up with her own children, she'd be able to take them into white society when they grow up." A Bad Bootjack. It is a Wisconsin paper, namely, the New Lisbon Age, that tells the story fol lowing: A young man in one of the rural districts went into tho woods to do some work, and while there one of his boots felt uncom:ortable, and he resolved to draw it off to see what was the mat ter.. To do so, he thought the crotch of a sapling that stood near him would an swer the purpose of a bootjack. He placed bis lieel in the crotch and gave a pull, but ho slipped and fell on the broad of hia back, -with one of his feet high in the air sticking fast in his new fashioned bootjack. From this uncom fortable position he was unable to extri cate himself, and he lay there struggling until ten o'clock the next day, when he was discovered and released by a party of friends who had been hunting for him all the previous night. Since his sus pension, Lyman doe3 not consider the sapling bootjack a great success, and ho will hereafter draw off his boots with a convenience that will not stvc him such a trick as the sapling did. Trying to do Good. That good landlords will tend to make good tenants is being proved by the benevolent work of Miss Octavia Hill among the London poor. Having seen the tyranny exercised over tho poor by a low class of landlords, and tho misera ble condition of tho dwellings which wero rented, she resolved to try an ex periment. Mr. lluskin advanced money, and three dirty, dilapidated houses were purchased and put in thorough repair. They wero then let to tenants, with the distinct understanding that the rent was to be regularly paid, and tho premises kept clean in everv rcspect. Miss Hill called frequently upon the tenants, en couraged them in their efforts to be tidy, made suggestions to them, and kept up a personal supervision of the houses. The experiment has been so successful that many friends have joined her labors, and other houses have beeu put under her general charge. Xot Satisfactory.

ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO. The Fourteenth of April, 1776--Woshli toa'n Arrival In New York City. Ono hundred years ago Gen. Wa? ingtou arrived in New York, coming 1 way of Providence, Norwich and N? Londou, and transferring his headqut ters from Boston to New York cit (Jen. Charles Lee had been in New Yo since the fourth of February, and hi done much toward fortif}'ing the cit erecting batteries up the Hudson ai East rivers as far as Houston street, ai throwing up ontrenchments at Gowan and on Governor's island. Sir Hen Clinton had looked in on tho city ai sailed awav again with his squadron, ai it was not until July 9 that Gen. Hoy lauded his troops on Staten Islan Tho aggregate American force in tl city and vicinity was 10,000 men, < whom only 8,000 were tit for dut; These troops were without pay, ar many had neither uniforms nor arms. When Washington first came to tl city he made his headquarters at tho I Poyster mansion. 180 Pearl street, oppi site Cedar?a part of which was slam ing until quite recently. There he r< maiued until May 23, when ho went t Philadelphia on a summons to conf( with Congress. Returning, ho went t tho Kennedy House at No. 1 Broadway where ho remained until tho city wa evacuated in September. There were n holidays then ut headquarters. Oct Washington writes of himself: ' I give in to no kind of amusement myself, and consequently those about m can have none, but are confined fron morning until evening, hearing am answering applications and letteis." TIkuiitIi Mrs. Wasljinrrton mid tin wives of the other generals w< rc Lore there was little social intercourse. Tin wealthy jn ople of the city were nearb all loyalists, ami would rather hnv.-. v.H corned liowo than Washington. " \V< all live, here," writ?s a Jady of Nev York, " like nuns shut np iu a nunnery No society in the town, for there au none to visit; neiiher can wo go in 01 out after a certain hour without tin countersign." Another correspondent writes: " When you are informed thai New York is deserted by its old iu habitants and filled with soldiers frorr New England, PhilaJelpliia, Jersey, etc., you will naturally conclude the en virons of it aro not very safe from sc undisciplined a multitude as our provin cials are represented to be; but I do be lieve there are very few instances of sc groat a number ot men together, witli so little mischief done by thorn. Thej have all the simplicity of plowmen in their mauners, ami seem quito strangers to the vices of older soldiers." As Gen. Greeuo one day passed through the Commons (now the City Hall park) ho saw a youthful soldier training a provincial company of artil lery. The boyish captain was only twenty years old, bait ho was full of lire and vigor, and showed no little knowl edge of military science. Greeno stop ped, admired, and invited him to his quarters, subsequently giving him an introduction to the comtnander-in-chief The boy soldier was Alexander H. Ham ilton. Every New Yorker knows bis subsequent story. Now York at this time was a tory city. Its leading men generally thought it wa? safer to adhere to the king. Its bueinest a. i._ i.? mi.? luttursts were u verso do ciiuuge. JLUt committee of safety bad opposed the entrance of the Continental troops, and had advised that they be kept within the limits of Connecticut. Lee had assured them that he would respect their wishes, but at the sumo time added: "If the British ships of war are quiet, I shall bo qniet; but I declare solemnly that if they ma lie a pretext of my pros snce to lire on the town, the first house Ret in flames by their guns shall be the funeral pile of some) of their be3l friends." In a letter to Washington the fierj Virgiuia soldier said that ho found the provincial Congress of New York " wo fully hysterical." The committee of one hundred, organized the year before embraced not only all the leading patri ots of the city, but some who titer ware became decided tories. Isaac Low wai chairman of the committee, and its lead ing members were John Jay, John A1 sop, Philip Livingston, James Dnane Isaac lioosevelt, Samuel Verplanck John Morton, Leonard Liispenard, Nich olas Hoflman, John Broome, Nichola Bogart, Alexander McDougal, Join Lasher, James Beekman, John Mori] Scott, Comfort Sands, John Lamb, Pete Goelet and Jamos Desbrosses.

What it Costs, . A Now York paper, iu noticing tho fact that a hotel which undertook to pay $54,000 a year rent failed, says that at this class of hotels twenty cents aTe charged for an egg, and eggs aro now twenty-fivo cents a'dozen. At tho same house fifteen cents aro charged for broad and butter. So that egg aud bread mid butter amount to thirty-five centp. An ordinary lunch without wine costs iu 4?i. Many men spend $2,000 a year for lunch alone. A cup of coffee costs forty cents at Delmonico's, and the only difference is that four persons now can afford the luxury where forty could, or thought they oould, four years ago.

Wo would not discourago tlio youn dry goods clerk wlio thinks he has trait resembling those of tho late Mr. A. 1 Stewart, and who desires to come to Ne1 York and go into business, in the expe( tation of repeating Mr. Stewart's exp( riences. Tho young clerk may bo ver shrewd, very economical, very industri ous, very watchful of details, very polit to customers, very honest and trutbfi in his transactions, and very desirous c becoming enormously rich through th | exorcise of his powers. We liavo alread I among us many thousands of ambition young men possessed of these traitf qualities and desires, who will never b< como Stewarts, though they may ir with all their might. Many of thcr havo gone, or will go, into business o their own account; but very few of them wo aro sorry to pay, will evr-r have th satisfaction of being millioi .aires, thoug! wo trust many of them will enjoy pros pcrity, and become ornaments of th mrrcantilo community. TVy aro al pretty sure to encounter u.ujoultics, t meet with lopses, to see hard times, t mako many mistakes, to be often i: .straits, to suffer through profitless ad ventures, and to fall into low spirits a times. But yet, if they continue -t< persevere patiently in the ways of dili gonco and economy, and hold on to thei integrity, their career will not bo wholl; destitute of advantage to themselves am others, even if, after a time, they shouli fifiose to lrcam of hecomincr millionaires Mr. Stewart's career was an excoptiona ono. He began business fifty years age and never ceased to pursue it; he begai it under unusually favorable circum stances; he had some capital to star with; he introduced a now way of deal ing with customers; bis business de veloped along with tho? development o other things around him, and bis foi tunes grew with the growth of the cit; from a comparatively small place to great metropolis. Tbo young dry good clerk may assuredly hope to reap th advantages of his, business ways an traits in course of * tij:.o; but we mns say that even a man of J;is character an< ambition has not much chance of gel ting to be as rich as Stewart by setting up iu business on his own account noi in Now York.?Sun. Wild Beasts and their Prey. To bo devoured by a wild beast is t each of us an odious thought; but i does not follow that to be killed by tiger or a lion is peculiarly painful. 0: this topic Dr. Livingstono has given u his own valuable experience. A lio: loaned on him, seized him by th shoulder, and kissed him in the air, as; dog tosses a cat. The tossing caused : delicious delirium, which precluded an; sense of pain; had he then died, it woul< have been a merciful death, but w should not have known that so it was Howcvci1, his companions shot tho lion who thereupon dropped his intendei victim, and took to flight.
