THE FRUIT CRoP.-The present spring may really
be backward" one, and a bad one for reheumatic
people: but it is most favorable one so far as re-
CARDS the prospect for fruit We learn from various
parts Of Delaware, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania,
that there is every appearance Of our having the
heaviest crop of peaches ever known Of course
they will be cheaper than ever. In regard to other
fruits the prospect is as favorable, nearly So The
chilly weather Of the past day two isnCt likely to
have caused any injury, and the young fruit may
now be regarded as safe from all danger from rOsts

THE MYSTERY OF THE EyERGLADEs.-The long
peninsula which out into the Atlantic, forming
the southern part of Florida has always been occu-
pied by a singular succession of savannahs, ham
mOcks, lagoons sWamps and forests nearly impreg-
nable and quite Unnhabitable except as the lurking
place of Seminoles. They extend into the heart Of
the country 200 miles north of Cape Sible and col
lectively, are called ''the Everglades" During the
past winter natural outlet has opened somewhere,
which is draining the Everglades dry. For nearly
two months, though water flowed out Of and Of the
known outlets, the Glades con. inued to fall rapidly
The invisible vent must have discharged volume
equal to the Mississippi river
A letter from a resident, dated April d saws :
"The Everglades are extremely dry-literaly parch-
ed up, which has not occurred before in the twenty
five years that have lived in this region, and have
hunted on them almost every season during that
time"
Vessels passing the coast report that they have
seen brackish discOlOred water at various points,
if it was pouring out of the sWamps. But the stO-
res vague and conflicting that is impossible
to determine whether a new river has formed thr0
some labyrinth Of lagOOns and islands, or whether
there is a cavernOus, suberranean passage to the
depths Of the sea. One Of the Coast Survey vessels,
at work in that quarter, sailed on an exploring
cruise in search Of it, in March, but a storm arose
which drove it back to port and compelled abandon
ment Of the search. Florida has always been noted
for its mysterious streams There are several creeks
and rivers Of limpid water in the State which sink
into the earth and disappear Others rise suddenly
out of the ground, one Of which (the WakuIa) is
navigable from its very source The strange &C
counts Of them which reached Spain in the early
years Of discovery, led Princes de Leon thither in
search Of the Fountain of Youth "-4I5any Ere

On. HAxIu AZ ran IsLE o. WloaE-Ihe Rev.
Dr. Hamlin missionary ct ponstaRtinople, while re-
Gently in England visited the Isle Of Wight hold
public meeting in BEHALF Of the Turkish Missions
Aid Society. Having "a leisure day, he improved il
BY going 70 Arreton, small quiet village in the
interior os the island, in whose churchyard ssthe
dairy-mau's daughter" was buried, making this "a
place Of prilgTimage to thousands from many Chris
tain lands The path to her grave IS hard trodden,
and il is the only object which seems to be hOnered
and cherished though the churehyard contains the
sleeping dead Of many centuries. From the church
he went about mile to the daryman's cottage,
which he ould very much described in the nara
tive and occupied BY his defendants stl following
the same business. he then went to Brading where
Leigh Richmond commenced his ministry, and where
the ssyoung cottager is buried, finding everywhere
the descriptions Of natural scenery given in those
tracts perfectly fresh and accurate.
In letter to the Puritan Recorder, Mr.. Hamlin
adds another striking fact. " The Dairymans
Daughter he says, twas translated into Turkish by
Rev Dr. Gooden many years since, and copy
presented by him to the Armenian church Of Aico-
media was the means of the conversion of the two
priests, Der Horootiane and Der Vartones both Of
them still faithful helpers bring forth fruit in

Nieomedia, and then Abadazar and BOghehejOk-
Here in this secluded spot in the Isle Of Wight sixty
years ago, commenced spiritual conflict in the
heart Of a poor and humble servant, the results Of
which are now spreading over the mountains and
valleys Of BIthynla- Here dWelt and preached and
prayed that man Of God, whose tongue is silent in
death, and yet in how many languages does it now
published salvation.
FEMAIE RELIGIOUS DUEL.-The Correspondence
HaUas has the following account Of a female reli-
gious duel:
q The Swiss Protestants are absorbed by a sero-
comic topic II is feminine duel which has just
taken place, apropos to the unsolved question be-
ween the diseiplines Of Luther and Calvin Two
young women, teachers Of Berne. made fanatical by
their reading, and the individual Interpretation
which it suggested, could not agree upon point Of
doctrine, and finally, agreed resort to force to
settle the question. The place ofmeeting vast the
most obscure part Of a neighboring wood, the hour
fixed was two ocloek-secOnds had procured the
steel weapons, for the duel was to be fought with
swords. After several lively thrusts of the fair
cOmbatants received a severe wound in the knee,
and fell upon the grass fainting The combat ceased
but our two casuists in petticoats have already
rallied a good number Of adherents. It is a new
element Of discOrd with the Bernese. It has almost
eclipsed the Neufchatel question"

CONCENTRATED FooD.-We hear that the proper
authority of the War Department has ordered $780,
600 raons Of dissecated vegetables, put up by the
house of ChOllin and Co., of Paris. This new de-
scription of food for the army Of the United States
is to eused upon the Plains tits for making soup,
and has been adopted for the English, French, and
Sandman armies. The cost at which it is to be
delivered at our army depots the Atlantic coast
is about and half cents per ration 1t is said
that a cubic yard of the preparation is sufficient to
make plate Of excellent, most palatable and nu-
tritious soup, around, for 25 900 men As the pre-
paration is experiment, having for con-
siderable time been in in the armies and navies
Of Europe it is very certain that its Introduction
into the military service of the United States is to
prove great economy if but in the way of the cost
Of transportation on the Plains, as well as an i'm
prOvement in the style Of the American service
