winter use, simply by Shelling them and putting
them into tottles, and corking them very
tightly. They should be used as soon as the
bottles is open. In this way you may have
green peas all winter, if you like.

this position.
In the early struggle in Texas, a young
man of great promise--an assistant editor
ofthe Star-by the name of Laurens. was
determined 10 seek his fortune in that coun-
try under The most fiastering auspieces.- He
found on his arrival there number of younp
gentlemen, from various sections Of the
Union, who were actuated by similar mo-.
tives, and with whom naturally an intimacy
was formed. One stormy night, when their
cabins in the new town Of Houston were
overhowed by the rain, DR., Goodrich. NJ
Mississippi, invited the party Of five or six
to repair to his quarters for the hight, which
was accepted. Some slept on benches,
some on the floor; unfortunately poor Lau.
rens-a great favorile among them all
slept IN tue bed with DR.. Goodrich. Ia the
morning the Doctor missed his wallet with
a large sum of money. All demanded to
know of him whether he suspected any one
in the company viii having robbed him.
He fixed bis suspicious upon poor Laurens,
and accused him Of the theft. Horror
struck at the accusation, be protested his
innocence with tears in his eyes, and ap.
pealed to his well known character for his
integrity. 1t was of no avail ; he must ie.
deem his honor by challenging his accuser.
He did so they fought with rifles, and poor
Laurens fell, 1t low turns out that young
man by the name of S,anley was the thief.

Jewehy.--rhe Salem Gazette remarks
that sccrcely any branch Of manufacture has
advanced more rapidly and steadily in this
country, during the last 20 years, than that
of articles of jewelry. Ia 1920, it might be
said with almost literal truth, nothing Of tho
kind was manufactured in the United
States. But now, much the larger part Of
all the more rich ID solid articles are made
in this country. There are very good and
extensive assortments in the stores, where
not single specimen Of foreign Jewelry is
to be found. Articles of English manufac.
ture are entirely superseded by the superior
skill and taste of our workmen; but there
are some sorts of work done by the French
jewelers., which cannot be squalled here.
Those are all the mock and counterfeit ar.
ticles which make the show of solid gold,
with an incredibly small quantity q the pre-.
cious substance. The English and Aneri.
can workmen excel in the more rich and
solid fabrics, while the French excel in the
more speclous and fragile commodities.

SCARCITY OF SILVER

We hear a great complaint from
Philadelphia and New York about the
scarcity Of silver; and this scarcity, by
those who affect the complaint, is at
tributed 10 the gold bill of 1884, which,
by debasing gold, as they say, has caus-
ed silver TO be exported. Mr.. CLAY,
whose ignorance is extreme upon sub
iects of currency, and, who is the organ
of the paper money in all that he says
upon such subjects, was indiscreet
enough to repeat this silly complaint
in the Senate at the last session, and
thereby occasioned call to be made
upon the Treasury Department for The
imports and exports of gold and silver,
since the passage Of the gold bill, which
totally silenced that senseless complaint
in the Senate. But the cry of scarcity
of silver has. been again raised in the
Northeast, with what object coming
events will no doubt soon tell, and with
what truth we will now tell. The doc
umcnt No. I42 of the Senate, made
in consequence of Mr.. CLAY's COM
plant, shows the exports and imports
Of gold and silver coin and bullion since
July, 34,and proves that the imports
of silver, as well as of gold, have vast
ly exceeded the export, and that the
exports Of gold, in proportion to the
quantity OF the two metals, have been
fully equal to those of silver. The fol-
lowing tables will establish these facts;

and are prepared to do work ofall sorts in
the blacksmith line, at the shortest notice

scs for TWO DOLLARS the set, and do
all other work in proportion. They are

will make it the interest of the Planters
and others to give their custom; therefore
they doubt not but liberal share Of pat

Thus it is shown by official reports,
the truth of which cannot be Question
cd, that, SO far from silver being made
scarce by the operation Of the gold bill,
there has been a nett gain of silver
coin and bullion. since the passage OF
that act, TO the amount of seventeen
millions and ahalG Thisis exclusive OF
the great amounts Of silver imported in
1882, '33, and the first half of IA,
which amounted to about thirty mill
ions, and were the first fruits of Gen.
JAcKsoN's attempts to revive the con
stitutional currency. After July, 1884,
gold began to flow in as well as silver;
and the fruit of the gold bill of that
year is a clear gain, in coin and bullion,
OF twenty-four millions fdollars, which,
added to the acquisitions from native
mines, coins of the former standard re-
coined, &c. makes near thirty millions
OF gold at this time in the United States.
These facts ought to be known. All
well disposed people ought to learn
them. They annihilate the Whigish
complaint about the scarcity of silver;
they show that the increase of silver
has been constantly augmenting since
the passage Of the gold bill, as we'll as
Tor the three years before 1t; and they
show that, in few years, the. United
States can have an ample amount of
gold currency.-Giobe.
