The FEVER IN WmMISGToS.--A medical gentle
man who has Visited Wilmington, writes:
cannot as yet give any correct information as
to the origin of the fever 1t is generally, may
say universally, attributed to.importation by the
Kate, on her trip before the last, from Nassau
will not question this opinion at least until have
time for more particular inquiry. Of course the
people do not like to admit that such disease could
originate in their town, and say that it has never
beer, here since 1921, when it was introduced from
abroad. 1t is positively asserted the healthiness of
the place. pre"ous to the arrival of the Kate traces
the first case to her; but be that as it may am
sure that the condition of the town Is now, and for
some time has been, SO far l can judge from the
appearances | see, most neglected and filthy
There is apparently no provision for scavengering,
and the cellars are filed with water but gentle
man informs me that is always so.

BLACKBERRY TEA.-A friend from Russell coun-
ty, Alabama, presented to US, few days since, a
the purpose of making tea. He represented its re-
sembance in taste to the tea of China tobe so close
as to make it difficult to distinguish one from the
other. We have tried these leaves and find the
similarity in taste, smell and color to be repre-
scented. We do not honestly, believe that we could
have told the difference between it and the China
green tea had we not known it to be an extract of
blackberry leaves.
Now is very good time to gather and Dry these
leaves, and we recommend trial to our readers
Possibly this tea may be too astringent for persons
of costive habits though could not perceive any
effect Of that Sort and it would be prudent for them
to observe its ffect-Columbus Sun.

STRANGE ExpERIMENTs.-A letter dated Paris,
Sept. I'd, says:
i've have had Of late some curious republications
with regard to the guillotine. 1t was declared by
its inventor, DR.. Guillotne, to be the most humane
method of nhcting the death penalty, as he main
tanned that the rupture of the vertebr of the
of the neck and of all the organs Of the bead killed
the whole body instantaneously.
Several experiments were made at Vienna. Some
prisoners were to be executed and several ceebra-
ted medical men, swho had already disputed the
rectness of the statement of Dr. Guotine, obtained
permission to remain on the scaffold during the ex-
ecution, and when head had been cut off it was
delivered to them The first was that of Young
man the eyes were closed and the tongue protru-
ded. Eight minutes were allowed tosexpire, when
the tongue was priched with j. pin, when it was
drawn in, and the face made grin indicative of pain
The second head was that of woman; the eyes
were open, filled with tears, and with most sup
plicating expression. Fourteen minutes after the
execution, the eyes turned towards the side from
whence the woman's name was called. The third
head was that of the most guilty of the criminals
slap ives given to the face, when the eyes opened,
the face flushed with Undesirable expression of
anger and ferocity, and shudder of anguish was
visible on the neck being touched.

Time to Gather Pears.

The following remarks were made by Mr.. H. W.
Ravenal, before the Aiken Is. c. Vine. growing
and Horticultural Association" recently:
The pear, unlike all other fruits. is improved by
being taken from the tree the growth IS
attained. and the seeds become mature. and in this
state allowed to become mellow in the house The
time between the gathering and the meowing Of
the pear varies for the diff rent kinds from week
or two to several months. 1t seems then there are
too distinct times, at either each of which, the
pear may be called ripe When the growth Is at
tanned and the seeds natured it ripe to be picked
from tie tree; when, after keeping, 1t becomes
mellow juicy, and fuavored, it is then ripe for
eating. The IueStion.is, at which of these periods
is the pear to be called ripey Evidently the term
is one which may he used in either case correctly,
and its proper Use must depend upon the meaning
to be con, eyed We most commonly speak of
fruit ripe when it is fit for for the table and
the Directors in saying last year that certain pears
on exhibition were nnripe, intended to convey the
meaning that they were unIipe for use, and there
fore. they could not Judge of their qusuy. Where
pears are we'll known by their names to the Exam
nns Committees of Horticultural Societies. diff
tercnt course may be adopted. Knowing the usual
quality of any particular pear, they maybe able to
pass Judgment specimens without tasting, but
simply by examining the size and general appear
ancc of the fruit We have scarcely had sufficient
experience mere of the many varieties OF pears 20
adopt tina, plan but evidently, whatever plan is
adopted, the term ripe must be arbitrarily used to
denote one or the other of those periods at which
the pear may be really said to be ripe The plan
which has been proposed, viz that when pears
are exhibited which, though ripe for gathering,
mt vet ripe for eatins they should be kept by the
Directors until they attain the latter state, would
b. attended with this Inconvenience, viz: that
should they ripen during the intervals of our meet
ings, the Examining Committee would have no op-
portuni,y of Judging of their qualities, unless an
extra meeting was called specially for that purpose.
Without making final decision on the subject the
Directors think it best for the present that pears
should only be exhibited when they are ripe for
use, as it is the only time when judgment can be
passed upon them.

VERY R D TAPE.-It must be ten
years since Hon. Matthew Harvey, Judge
of the United States Court for the dis
trict Of New Hampshire, removed from
Hopkinton 10 this city, and yet to this
day all his correspondence from Wash
ington is addressed to Hopknton, goes
there, and is remailed for Concord. Re-
prated requests to have his address
changed on the department records have
had no practical effect. They certainly
do not like to change fashions too sud-
denly at Washington. If the Judge
should live to be one hundred years of
age, and we hope be may, they may fud
out where be resdes.-N H. Statesman.
Here is another instance from the same
paper: The finest specimen Of red tape
ever heard Of, was purchased by Col.
Marston, of the n. II, ID. He wanted
to make a requisition, and the whole
camp was ransacked for a sheet of pa
per, but only half sheet could be found.
He wrote the requisition, waited quietly
for response. which he received: it read
about as follows: When Col. Marston
has occasion to make use of a requisition
upon this department, he will please make
use Of whole sheet of paper. Very
respectfully, &c.

House bill providing for paying the
nine months volunteers seven dollars per
month extra, was taken up. BIr. Ste
vens's, Of Franklin, amendment inclu-
ding the new companies of cavalry, was
Withdrawn, they being already provided
for in this respect. Mr.. Clark of Ben
nington opposed the bill He apprehen-
ded that there was danger of the legisla-
ture outruoning the ability of the state
/ to pay, in offering bounties and extra pay.
If it continued as it had begun, we sho'd
have a debt of more than $1,000, 1000;
probably 100000. He would avoid
Ibis possibility of reputation which
would be an indelible disgrace upon the
state. He advised more elaboration,
and desired himself to see the report of
the treasurer before be voted upon the
bill.
Mr.. Cree Of Caledonia did not know
which surprised him the most, She fact Of
opposition or the facts on which it was
made. Out of fifteen regiments sent to
the field, ten are receiving 81 per month,
and the question was raised as to paying
the other five the same. Towns had
promised TO pay it. The bill, as he IN
derstood, proposed that the state should
take the load of their hands. As to au-
thority, it was enough for him that the
people bad guaranteed the payment
The men that had gone had done so at a
pecuniary sacrifice. The state was able
to pay all that could possibly be required
for this purpose. In this life struggle for
national existence money should be pour
