Capt. Smith, we have received Havana and Puerto
Principe papers to the 26th, Inclusive.
The Spanish steamer Cisne had taken the place
Of the Genil, lately burnt. The English steamer
Serene arrived at Puerto Principe the 18th, from
Jamaica, with 1921 ounces of gold. The island
was more than usually free from sickness; some
few cases of yellow fever, but of mild character
A rise had taken place in sugars caused by the
increased demand for Holland, and the resignation
of the protective, and the appointment of free
trade minister.
Between Nuevas and Port Principe the railroad
was rapidly progressing and would soon be entire

IS 40
Then we have IS 40 as the cost of a quantity OF
Nova Scotia coal, equal to ton of % bushels of our
anthracite Btumnous coal, in comparison with
anthracite, is as pine or oak wood to hickory. A
gentleman largely interested in coal lands expresses
the opinion that coal dealers will be able TO de-
liver coal in Boston next at "a SO per ton OF
~ bushels; and can see reason to doubt it, for
why should the dealers in Nova Scotia be able tn
deliver 1t for less than OWN II cannot be that
labor is great deal less there than here for the dis.
lance is but rlhng and the conveyance easy so tina,
labor would soon equaze.
1t has frequently been said that all reduction
would come off of the labor If this was believed,
there would be very quiet submission to the law
But as it is, 1t seems that all the noise about de-
preston Of labor comes very much like the cry of
stop THIEF" which Is sometimes raised in order to
make some kind of smoke in which to escape In
conversation, recently, in regard to the wages of
miners, with gentleman OF acknowledged inteIli-
gence he said: 1--WE cannot reduce the wages of our
men, for the reason, that the miners of Nova Scotia
have sent to all our mining districts offers of constant
employment and liberal wages" Then the wages
being the same, or nearly so, the distance greatly in
our favor, and with 30 per cent. duty can anv
one give a possible and sufficient reason whv our
miners should throw down the pick-axe and spade
and abandon their employment, when thew need
employ, merely because the merchant dealer is out
down from 25 per cent. to II a 10 per cent in his
prohts' for 1t must come from him, inasmuch as we
see that labor is likely to continue the same. if i,
does not increase in price.
1t was feared by many that coal and iron were
not sufficiently cared for in the tariff Of 1896 bur
people will examine this thing more closely than
ever, and it will not take intelligent community
long to see, when the smoke caused by the cry o,
protection to home labor has blown little one side
that is not the honest labor Of the country the
care is for, but the bloated nominal capital invested
in the different pursuits For instances an individual
few years since, had coal mine which would
bring $4,000. Now the object was to have dutv
ofsl rs per ton on coal, in order to make this mine
worth 100000 all of which difference was to have
been made out of the consumers. The moor IL.
borer was not even thought af except perhaps how
much work he could perform. TT

COAL.
In the United States Gazette of few days since
you will find calculation Of the price of coal brought
from Pictou to Boston. The writer makes the cost
of coal "a 60 per ton of % bushels but corrects the
statement the next day, and makes it "a 20 per ton
Of % bushels, which is not believed to contain near
the amount Of heat contained in the same quantity
of anthracite; indeed those conversant with the quail
tiles of both Goals, think it would take at least sc
bushels of Nova Scotia to equal % bushels of our
anthracite Admitting the statement of cost made
by the Gazette to be correct

MADRID, August 10-On the 29th July, Mr..
Washington Irving was received in private audience
by the queen, TO take leave as ambassador from the
United States. He said that he was charged by the
President to remit to the queen the letter recalling him
from his post and to assure her majesty of the Pres-
dents ardent desire to maintain the amcabe relations
so happily subsising between the two countries.
For himself, he assured the queen that he should
always preserve, in private life, the same ardent de-
sire for the happiness Of Spain, and the same pro-
found interest in its young sovereign as he had
done in his official career; and he added that he
took leave Of her majesty in wishing her long and
happy hie, and reign which may be counted as
glorious IN the history Of her country. The queen,
IN reply, said that she learned with regret that he
was recalled The wishes that be expressed for
the happiness Of Spaniards were very agreeable to
her; on that felicity she founded the happiness he
| wished her, and the glory Of her reign He might
carry into private life the intimate conviction that
his frank and upright conduct had contributed to
draw closer the amicable relations existing between
North America and the Spanish nation; and his
distinguished personal qualities had obtained her
esteem, which he merited by more than one title.

MR. EDIToR: When went ont west" short
time since, | ate some excellent Marmalade, made
of wild plums; perhaps some of your readers
would like the receipt for making it:
PLUM MARMALADr. Put your pums INTO tin
or brass kettle, with just enough water to cook
them, cover them closely and boil them till they
are DONE Rub them through a calendar or TIN
sieve, and to each pound Of pulp or juice put a
pound Of sugar, Boil it long time, till the Mar
malade becomes quite thick. Be sure to stir it
constantly while boiling.
An Marmalades are made in the same manner.
The puringS Of ounces may be kept separate from
the cores and prepared as above
Common brown sugar should never be used for
sweetmeats without cleansing. 1t prevents fer
mentalion and the alcoholic taste that follows.
RECIPE FOR CLEANSING SUGAR. To each
pound of sugar, add one table spoonful of coarsely
powdered charcoal, and to every five pounds of SUI
gar, add the white of an egg and pint of cold wa
ter stir the whole together, thoroughly, place it
over the fire and boil fifteen minutes. Alter taking
offthe scum, strain the syrup through cloth till
it is as thick as melted sugar before adding your
fruit
! We take the liberty of suggesting that the
charcoal, after being powdered coarsely be put
into seive, the dust separated and only the coar-
ser part added to the syrup. We think this would
make less straining necessary. l-IRehigan Far.

SOWING PLASTER m AITTIrMN


Our farmers in Maine we believe, seldom or
never sow gypsum Oh their grass lands in the fall,
and yet we do not see why it is not as well, and in
respects better to do it at this season than in
the spring. We presume that the plaster cannot
do much good until it gets into the soil and be-
comes dissolved in the MOISTURE or becomes chan
ged IN some manner, so as to become liquid, in or
der 10 be taken up by the roots Of the plant If it
is taken up by the roots, common sense and common
observation teach us that it must be dissolved and
not enter them in its dry and solid state. Or if it
acts, as some suppose, by absorbing ammonia from
the atmosphere, it must have time to do this. Why
not apply it in the fall? The grass seems TO need
something then to give it u start. 1t has been
drawing suslenance from the soil and atmosphere
all summer. 1t has been cut or eaten of, and the
few leaves near the ground and the roots, are all
that are left to begin life again, with capital as
much diminished as the crop is in weight or bulk
that you have just put into your barn. Certainly
the time to feed it must be when it most feeble.
We presume what of the plaster may not be re-
qurcd by the grass this fall, will be still found in
the ground next spring, all ready to DO good for
the succeeding crop.-.lIaine Farmer

a PoINr or SPAcE.-The diameter of the eartb's
orbit is, as it were the pocket rule of the Asrono-
mer, with which he measures distances which the
mind can no more grasp than nfnity. This star
measure is one hundred and ninety millions of
miles in length. This the Astronomer lays down
on the floor OF heaven, and drawing lines from its
eXtremltics to the nearest fixed star-or COntdlTt
he finds the angle thus subtended by this base
line, to be not quite one second! BY this simple
Rule Of Three he then arrives at the fact that the
nearest fixed star is 2 900 O00000,000. From an
other simple calculation it follows that in the space
round our solar system devoid Of stars, there is
room In one Dimensions, or in one straight line, for
l2,OOO solar systems; in two dimensions, or in one
plane, there is room for 1870 millions of solar sys-
tens; and in actual sideral space of three dmen-
sIons there is room for 1,500,000000,000 Of solar
systems the size Of our own. Nay, good farmer
do not look SO unbelievingly. Your boy need not
graduate from the district school to prove all this
One und-a-haf million millions of solar systems as
large as ours might be set in the space which d.
vdes between it and its nearest neighbor. And if
we might assume the aggregate population Of our
solar system to be 20,000000,G00, then there would
be room enough for Thirty Thousand Trtions Of
human beings to live, love, and labor IN the worlds
that might be planted IN this same starless void.
Nay, good man of the tow lrock, hold in mo-
tnent longer. Our sun is but dull, hazy speck of
light in the great Milky Way; end Dr. Ierschu
says he discovered Wy thousand Just such suns in
that highway OF worlds IN space apparently a
yard in breadth aud six n>lcngth. Think of that,
u moment and then that no two of them all are
probably nearer each other than ticenty billions of
miles! and then that the saress space between
their solar systems might contein 100000, 10000
Of similar systems Multiply these spaces and
these systems by hundred millions, and you will
have numbered the worlds that a powerful glass
will open 10 your view from one point Of space
Again, multiply these systems by twenty thousand
mi nd buun
of human beings who might dwell in peace and
unity in that point Of space which Hersche's glass
would disclose TO your vision. And you ask de-
spairingly, What is man? We will tell you what
he is in one respect; the Creator of all these worlds
is his God.-Ch. Citizen.

INcoMBUsTIBLE PREPARATION FOR WOOD
The following recipe for rendering wood incom-
bustible, has been, we believe tested in regard to
its efficacy, and although personally we have not
seen it proved, think we can recommend it as be-
ing Of much utility, particularly when applied to
the surface Of wooden roofs or other places partic
ularly exposed to the action OF fire.
1t is very simple in its preparation, which re-
quires the operator merely to take a quantity OF
water proportionate to the surface Of the wood he
may wish to cover, and add to it as much potash
as can be dissolved therein. When the water will
dissolve no more potash, stir into the solution first
a quantity Of flour paste Of the consistency of com
mon painters size; second, a sutficiency Of pure
clay TO render it Of the consistency Of cream
When the clay is well Mixed apply the prepara-
ton as before directed to the wood it will secure
it from the action of both fire and rain. In a most
violent fire, wood thus saturated may be carbonat-
ed but it will never blaze.
If desirable, a most agreeable color can be giyer
to the preparation, by adding small quantity o.
red or yellow ochre.

UNREASONABLE ExPEcTATIoNs.-The Exeter

They (the democracy" uforesaid,) had three
things in view during the contest-tho election of
Polk; the election of Dallas and the preservation
of the Tariff. They played their cards well and
won the rubber. They cothd not expect to win
everything! They elected Polk, they elected Dallas,
but they lost the Tariff Our readers may recol.

very well for an Indian"
