GREEns, PoLITIos, ETo--We were out on q
stroll about the suburbs Of the city yester'
day-in the vicinage of the truck patches
and took view Of vegetation on the ground.
It would surprise very many Of our market
goers to see the large amount Of table veget-
ables that are being grown Tor the tables OF
this city. The small samples they see in
market do not give them any thing like an
adequate idea of the vast supply in this
neighborhood We saw lot after lot acre
after acre of "green stuff which was stand
ing SO thick that we could not see the
earth upon which it was growing. The
truckmen were in good humor,as well might
they be, and conversed with us freely sbout
their crops what they hoped to realize
what they proposed to do with their earn-
iDgs; about the improvements they contem-
plated making, when they become able to do
so; and we were treated to interesting treat
ises on growing greens, etcl Nearly every
man we met inquired about the war all
seemed to take lively interest in what was
in the neighborhood Of their faS
and they were, indeed, better
posted than we were upon the condition of
affairs in the old world We noticed one
in the work-the females worked
while the men rested, We win have
"world Of plenty" this season.

promises new Christmas stories for his new ne

the republication of his periodical, that there
are private reasons for his abandonment Of
Household Words, and that the principal pub

cumulation Of back volumes (now numbering
eighteen) had'becoms serious bar to the &C

also informs us that

Table ETIQUETTE Five Centuries ApO,

The following, says the National Inteligen.
Ger, is taken from manuscript entitled Boke
Of COurtdsye, written five hundred years ago,
before the invention of printing, but still pre-
served in the British Museum:
"Pare thy bread in two, the upper crust from
the under. Out the upper portion into four
quarters and set them together as if whole. Cut
the lower crust into three, turn it down and lay
II before thy trencher Sit upright, nor touch
bread or wine, drink or ale, until thy mess of
meat be offered thee, lest men say thou art a
glutton. Keep thy nails clean, lest thy neigh.
Dor be disguised.
Bite not thy bread and lay it down,
That is no courtasye TO use in town;
But br eak as much as thou wilt eat
The remnant Tor the poor thou shalt let.
Eat in peace, and avoid disputes and games.
Get never thy cheek be made too great
With mors0l Of bread that thou sh alt eat
An apes mouth men say he makes
That bread and flesh in his cheek bakes
"Do not laugh or speak with thy mouth full,
nor sup thy pottage noisily Let not thy spoon

gers. Wipe thy mouth ere drinking. Call not
for a dish that has been taken from the board
Spit not on the board, nor play with thy dog /"
Prom the dirhction relative to cleaning The
nose at table, it seems pocket handkerchiefs and
napkins were not in fashion, as the diner is di,
rected to wipe his fingers in his tippet or his
skirt
"oleanse not thy teeth at meat sitting
With knife nor straw stick nor wand;
Whilst thou hold meat In thy mouth beware
To drink: that is unhonest cheer;
And also physic forbids it,
And says thou mayest be choked by that bill
II 1t go thy wrong throat into,
And stop thy wind, thou art fordo."
Don't tell scandalous tales at table. Don't
stroke the cat. Avoid fouling the board cloth
with thy knife. Blow not on thy meat, nor est

The Austrian Lime Of pefense.

All accounts agree that the Austrian army
is well ofRcered and abundantly provided
with the munitions Of war. The two greai
lines Of Austrian defense, says recent wri-
ter, are the line of lhe Mincio, and the line
oftbe Adige. OF fehsse two the former is
the strongest II is difficult, indeed, to cons
ceiye any thing stronger.
The Mineio, HirgPs -"smooth-sli-
ding Mincius crowned with vocal reeds
runs with deep, sluggish stream right across
the plain of Lombardy from the bottom of
the Lago di Garda, on the north, to the Po
on the south. Just where Il issues fro N the
lake is Pesehiera, fortress always formida-
BILE, but by the efforts Of the last ten years,
rendered almost impregnable At the other
extremity Of the line Of defense stands Man
tua-situated in the midst of marshes, which
in few hours can be converted into lake
BY the simple management of few dams
and siuices Ntsntna, thus strong by nNtu-
ral position, has been trebly strengthened by
art. II is practically impregnable; its
earth-works defy artillery, its swamps are
mortal with malaria For a weaker force to
endeayor, in face esof q stronger force, to pass
the line Of the Mincio with Pesohiera on one
flank, and Mantua on the other, would be
among the most hazardous of military ems
prises and yet until the line Of the NIinoio
is forced, Austria remains strategically the
mistress Of Lombardy, The line of the Ad,
ige resting on the vast entrenehed camp of
Verona is at least equally strong The COM
mand of the Austrian troops will devolve ups
on General Hess
