Um of the Love Apple, of which Parkinson (lee) says,
•'We only cattiest. them for curiosity in our gardens,
sad for the amorous aspect or beauty of the fruit," we
may quote the following high testimony to the value of
the Tomato: "This vegetable medicinally considered is an
excellent substitute foe calomel. and can be taken when
that medicine cannot."
We might enlarge farther upon the benefits to be
derived from a general consumption of the Tomato,
either for its flavour or excellent dietetic properties but
doubtless its own intrinsic worth will recommend and
gradually increase its use, and so to touch upon its culinary
capabilities.

The Tomato, being only half hardy, cannot withstand
even the early frosts of our climate, and as the plant is
very praline, and a continuous bearer, it generally happens
that frost puts in as appearance before it has time to
mature all its fruit All Tomato. should be gathered at

which have begun to colour will fully ripen rapidly in

may be utilised by being made into jam. To every pound

and the peel of • small lemon, together with a little of the
juice, and, if handy, • few kernels of Plums; them

THE "CLAIMANT" AT DARTMOOR,
The convict arises every morning at five o'clock.
He then has to dress himself, clean his cell, get his
broadest, wadi up the utensils employed therein, and
then to be in readiness for chapel at a quarter to
seven. The service is brief, lasting only about
fifteen minutes, and, sheald the weather permit, at
its conclusion the prisoner is taken out for a parade.
Before oommencing his day's labour, which he is
supposed to enter upon at half-pad seven, he ham, like
the whole of his fellow convicts, to undergo the
operation of searching. We should state that his
daily taak is to work • sewing machine, at which he

naturally brought the Claimant a little nearer to
Sir John Coleridge's ideal of the " real Roger."
We hear that his knickerbockers hays had to be
altered several times, end some significance may be
attached to the fact that he is reduced in girth about
seventeen Inches! Yet his general health is stated to
be good, although he beigins to assume a careworn and
appearance. He is uniformly courteous and

Ont=rh°°d enemies to the poor, they are proving them-
selves to be their truest friends. It is scarcely to be
expected that their object will, for some time to come,
be understood. Successful as the Poor Law system
has been, it must not be regarded as in all respects
perfect. It was quite as much on the side of leniency
as on that of harshness; and when we hear, as we do
sometimes, of hardships in its administration we
should do well to inquire whether gentleness and
mercy are not likely to laid to harm rather than good.
They clearly do in the came of out-door relief, for one
of the highest virtues that can actuate • man is
rendered nugatory by their application. If the Poor
Law, as at present administered, were to suddenly
cease how different would be the desire and the
endeavours of the agricultural labourers. We should

be an expedient to be resorted to only in the direct

found on its back, under the pad of the saddle, a wound
about the size of a two-shilling piece, Indio raw. Told
defendant ho ought not to work the horse in that state,
and defendant said the horse was all right when he left
Yeovil. Witness told him he must not work it again,
and defendant replied all right. On the Wednesday
night following he saw the same horse driven in again, in
a worse state than before. He examined it, and found
the same wound existing ins much worse state. Witness
saw a veterinary surgeon at the stable, and that gentle-
man told defendant not to use the horse for • week or ten

recently done up. There was nothing on the pad to ease
any particular part —Defendant said he told his
employer of what had happened, and someone had
attended the horse, and he was told that it was fit to
drive one journey. The horse was not driven from the
WA to the 13th. The horse belonged to Mrs. Willis, of
Kingston, Yeovil, and the cue was adjourned for • week,
In order that she might be summoned for allowing it to

most cordially assented to the resolution; but he could
not conclude without exhorting them to offer earnest
Jere to Him by whom all thinp were governed—that
prayers
were willing, the scourge which had cents upon that
unfortunate people should be withdrawn, rather than by
&demisting retaliation or any wish to drive the Turks out
of Europe. (cheers.)
Rev. W. C. OSBORNE, Yid/ elleChrist Church, West
Fordington, supported the resolution, althougt. Pethelas
lie did not quite agree with all that wa.s contained le It.
What he dissented from in it there was no need to point
out, or it might tend to weaken it. Their chief and great
object was to protest against all cruelties, whether
practised by an ally or aa enemy. (Cheers.) We were In
alliance with Turkey, but surely it was quite time for the
country to tell that nation that we should withdraw any
such alliance, If they did not at once cease tighti.nli
as they had been fighting. (Hew, hear.) He would
go so tar as to tell that Empire that this country would
never stand the committal of such atrocities as had been
carried out recently, he would not say under the immediate
sanction of the Porte, but which had certainly been com-
mitted by its soldiers, and by which it had thereby
rendered itself vertices, eriasinit in the greatest outrages
the history of modern warfare could furnish an instance
of. It was quite their ditty to impress the Ministry that
it was the feeling of the country that unless the Turks
could give some security against the recurrence of such
awful acts, we must withdraw our Consul and have
nothing more to do with ,em, (Hear, hear.) The
meeting was surely acquainted through the medium of the
press with those atrocities—he would be sorry to dwell
upon them, but he contended they were bound toexprem
their desire, that an interference should take place—and
that in the most decided way, by the Government Did
we not interfere in the matter of Greece, and was not the
result that Greece was declared independent I Had we
not said there should be no slavery in the British Empire
—tantamount to saying there should be no slavery in
Europe, and did not the Britishlpeople show their honesty
of purpose, by raising 20 millions of money to liberate the
slaves in Jamsica—one of the noblest dwds England ever
did? Englazd wes hound to get an example to the world of
humanity and christianity, and toshow it, she wasdeter-
mined that so far as was possible thou nations who were in
alliance with her should be of a similar chancier. (Hear,

In acknowledging the vote, which was carried with
