DoN'T BURY APPLEs.-Farmers
who wish to keep their fruit in good
state of preservation should not bury
it in the ground without first making
a sor: of bin in which to place it.
Apples which have lain all winter in
close contact with the mother earth
taste like cross between a turnip and
a potato. This burying entirely des-
troys their flavor.

AN 1RoN-CLAD FLEET FOR THE
PACIFIC Coast The Navy Depart
ment has commenced an important
movement for the protection of our
Pacific coast. On Monday last work
was begun at Jersey City OH the first
vessel of a squadron of iron-clad war
steamer, which are intended to cruise
in the Pacific for the purpose of watch
ing over the commercial interests of
the country in western waters and
the other ships will be put on the stocks
as soon as possible. Part Of this fleet
will be built in Atlantic ports, and
part in the Pacific. Those which are
to be constructed here will be made
in sections, and transported in Gov
ernment steamer to California, where
they will be put together and prepar-
ed for immediate service. It is Lot
considered proper to print the exact
particulars of the new movement at
present, but We may state that the
vessels will be about $50 feet in length
and of proportionate depth and width,
and that they viii be full armed an d
mailed.

Mlgruder's Gratitude.

General Magruder, of the rebel army, who
has the reputation of drinking more liquor
than any officer in the Confederate army, is
indebted to soldier for the following ac.
count Of his exploits with Mexican aguad
iente:
About the month of October, 1s4s, after
the close Of the war with Mexico, Colonel
Magruder had been ordered by the General.
in.Chief of the army to proceed across the
plains of Lower California, to San Diego
one fine Sunday morning we proceeded pei
order. We had gone but about one mile
from the city of Mexico, the Thermometer
being one hundred and twenty-six degrees
in the shade, when the Colonel found his
coppers getting dry after hard nights
drinking in the city. Observing clumsy
looking man named Ryan with well filled
canteen of water, as he (Magruder) thought
he turned to him, aud commenced the fol.
lowing conversation:
"What have you got there, sir"
Water, Colonel"
Let me have drink :'
"Yes, Colonel"
Putting the canteen to his mouth, he
took two or three swallows, and turning to
the soldier, said:
"Good water, sir, by, sir; do not
waste it."
1t must be remembered that this "water''
which the Colonel praised so highly was
nothing more than Mexican muscatel, CON.
monty called aguadiente. We had proceed.
ed but short distance further, when our
gallant Colonel called to Ryan for another
swig, which he got, when the following col.
loquy occurred:
"What is your name, sirs'
"Private Ryan"
You are hereafter Corporal Ryan"
A short distance further. and another swis
was called for and received, the Colonels
coppers wanting cooling again, saying as be
did so:
Snow, sir, you are Sergeant Ryan, by,
sir, to be honored and respected accordingly
If the canteen had held out, and the Col
onel had promoted at every drink. the sol.
dier would have obtained high rank before
the days march was finished.
