Didn't Know Beans.

On late trip of one of the New Or
leans steamers, she was crowded with
German emigrants. AS might be expec-
ted, their appetites for fruit ard vegeta
bes, after a long sea voyage, was most
voracious. At Salem, a short distance
below St. Louis, the boat received some
fifteen or twenty sacks Of castor beans,
consigned to Mr.. Blow. The appear
ance of the bean, good to the eye,' excl
ted the cravings of the emigrants. FL
nally, curiosity and appetite triumphed
a bag was surreptitiously opened, large
PAINFUL extracted, and huge luncheon
Of soup prepared. In a short time, the
passengers in the cabin, and the officers
of the boat, were startled by the report
that the cholera, in lis worst form, had
broken out on deck. On going below,
they found that the castor oil was doing
its work. The bag lay exposed, and a
large pot-full of this rare deIIcacy was
steaming hot on the table. The thing
was soon solved, and the captain had to
go INTO quarantine, because, as he said
the Dutch didn't know beans!'
