A GREAT COUNTRY FOR LAZY MAN.

A GREAT COUNTRY FOR LAZY MAN.
DIR. Mclean, in his lectures on Nicaragua, on
Monday night, drew picture of what could
be done in that country by man who was
not disposed to waste time in labor, and yet
wished to live independently. The govern
ment gave him 2S0 acres of land, and the
first necessity was for house. This want
was quickly supplied by the placing of four
posts uprightly in the ground, the spaces be-
tween which were filled with the common
cane, which grew in abundance around,
and then plastering with mud. The roof
was then thatched with grass, and the house
was thus completed. Little or no furniture
was needed, hammock answering all pur-
poses of bed and seat, and almost any kind
of earthen vessel would answer to cook in.
The next care was to plant about dozen
banana or plantain trees, which needed no
further care; planted with yams, which, if
properly placed, would yield enormously. The
common .tiVole and Lima beans would grow
with the yams, as well as other vegetables
and the native fruits of the country were al
most indigenous.
The plaintains and yams would yield more
than enough for the subsistence of an entire
family, and game of every variety could be
shot almost from the door of the house. The
climate was such as to render little or no
clothing absolutely necessary, and thus, with
one months labor, man can fix himself COM
fortably for year. Isn't that the country
for lazy man? N. o. Picayune.

scrapel up lot Of Wondering bones,
with two or threo eye teeth and shipp-
! cd them oser to this country in order
that they might be inferred. in the new
church at Hoboken N. j. They say
and we Of course take it for gospel
truth, that the bones in question Of St.
Quictus, wero taken out Of the ceme-
terry Of Praltaxtitus, one Of the Roman
ca'ecombs. What is stranger in its
truth than fiction, that they have with
the bones of the Saint, wal Of his
blood, which has been preserved by
some miraculous means, (only known
to alchamy } to the present hour. A
grand procession was had at Hoboken,
when the bills of ladiug for the box
came to hand.-Sucl a procession as
pagent worshippcrs, alone, know how
to get up. The Rev James Roosevalt
BayIey. d. d., Bishop Of Newark, Of
ficlated, in the speech or rather SER
mon, delivered over the bones. On
that occasion, he took occasion TO
say, " 1t is proper, that, as I have off.
ciated at this ceremony, l should say
something to you about St. Quietus,
and yet | must confess, | find it very
difficulty to do So" We make no
manner of doubt Of it. The faithful
came up and kissed the bones, pre-
vious to their being deposited in the
vessel prepared for them. 1t is bu*
proper to observe that tho Banner of
the Blessed Virgin, headed the pro-
ccssion, borne by one, Of sixty yoeng

That there is q sufficient amount Of
human crcdulity in this nation, to feed
these sen9lcss pagcnts; which are
leading rapidly to something else, is
not at all surprising, when our present
political aspect is regarded from the
proper point of view.
